Hi, please will there be a release for Android 12L beta 1? It has an upgraded stock kernel version.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] vandyman:
No.

Read at the least, the last page of this thread and you will understand what is going on.

I have a pixel 3a XL with Android 10 build QQ1A.191205.011 from two years ago. It has ex kernel and ElemntalX and also Magisk 23.0. I haven't taken many Android updates and have one that says 270 days late that is 1.3 GB. Is it possible to install this update or will that do something to affect root? Can someone point me to what I would need to do to update to android 11 or 12?

Hi flar2, is it possible to remove the minimum value limit for kcal? Currently it is at 100/256, but true astronomy mode would require the green and blue channels to go all the way down to 0.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] flar2:
I think on most devices you can turn of the limit with an option in the menu at upper right on the color control screen.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] redsmith:
Thanks, but I don't see the option. I guess it is not enabled for Pixel 5?

The custom kernel I'm currently using has a kcal_min level of 0, and I can confirm it works using astronomy mode in FKM. However, I much prefer using EXKM (nothing against Franco, I'm actually a big fan of both of you guys). Do you know what else can I do?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] flar2:
Actually, i had to remove the option because it could result in the device being in an unusable state (if the user puts all the sliders below 100 the screen is black).
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] flar2:
The only option is to add the RGB controls to custom settings. I think the paths are in :

Hey. i don't know if this is the right topic but i need help with a moto g4 plus rooted with the latest version of magisk and with the latest version of android stock 8.1. I try to adjust the clock of my processor to the maximum supported and after 1 second, the clock drops, leaving the device extremely slow. I've tried everything, including reinstalling android and the kernel and it didn't help. I installed the latest kernel version available for the g4 plus. (I do not speak fluent english. Sorry for any handwriting errors. 😉)

That is device dependent

Bluetooth otg support?

Somewhat of an odd question but would it be possible to add usb otg Bluetooth support? What i mean if using a Bluetooth dongle over usb otg. I heard somewhere that it is technically possible but needs to be supported by the kernel. Is this something that can happen? The reason i ask is because the usb chip in my device seems to be defective (doesn't work past 5 feet) and i was hoping i could get around it by using ab otg Bluetooth dongle.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] can you add some kind of alarm to the battery monitor when a target charge is reached?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] maksimreder:
What is minimum peformance level? Initially set to 40%, changed it to 5% and don't see an immediate difference. What's it's purpose?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kisakuku:
For CPUs with big.LITTLE architecture, the min performance parameter determines how tasks migrate from the big cluster to the little cluster. When it's set to 100%, no migration occurs. When set to 0%, all tasks eventually migrate to the little cluster. 60% is a good default value that balances battery and performance.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] I loaded latest elementalX kernel and in the description it says it supports OC/UV but I don't see UV? Options for the kernel in EXKM.

Edit: Misread the post. Says OC/UC.

Any future support for UV for elementalX?

---------- Post added at 01:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 PM ----------

[/COLOR [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION], potential bug found. I loaded minimalstic kernel which supports UV, and I see EXKM added voltages menu, but global UV set does not change the freq voltages. At first I thought it was the kernel did not allow, but then loaded kernel toolkit from play store and was able to UV the kernel significantly and is stable.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] flar2:
What device are you using? There are a few devices that present voltages in the app, but they are not actually modified.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] maksimreder:
Using HTC M9 for Verizon.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] flar2:
To my knowledge, there is no working voltage control for that chipset. There is only a read-only voltage interface. You can't actually change those values.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] maksimreder:
Interesting. So is kernel toolkit lying then? I'll have to do more testing to be sure. Seems like it's modifying the voltages and escalates with root privs to modify them, then comes back with modified voltages. Stand by. Going to do more testing if it's actually modifying the voltages.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] maksimreder:
So yes. You are correct. Kernel toolkit tried to change the values but they did not stick.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] flar2:
That's one of the benefits of using EXKM, it is far more thorough than other kernel apps. I think most users don't notice or appreciate all the little things EXKM does "behind the scenes" to ensure settings are shown correctly and applied correctly.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Mendrake:
Hey flar, first of all thanls for the amazing app and kernel.

I noticed that in the latest update (3.15) there is a new high performance audio setting. Could you briefly explain what it does please?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] maksimreder:
Agreed, Would've been nice to have a pop-up if under voltages can't be changed.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] flar2:
It changes the headphone amp to use class AB mode instead of class G. Better quality, but probably marginally higher energy consumption.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] zige:
Is this kernel depend or is it app making all changes so we can use what ever kernel?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] dt0807:
The latest ElementalX-N5-8.00 for hammerhead has been running great but I just recently bought and switched over to EX Kernel Manager. This app is fantastic, but I noticed that when I disable mpdecision under hotplug options that it still shows that it is enabled. I read through the thread and was wondering if this is normal? This seems like it is just a minor aesthetic bug, since I can tell that it is disabled (all four cores are indeed active). I'm using the latest version (3.15) in advanced mode by the way.

Won't go into why I like disabling mpdecision. I just don't make a big deal out of hotplugging and still get decent battery life :p
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] flar2:
It's hardware dependent and apparently doesn't do the same thing on all devices:

There are system processes that try to change CPU frequencies. I don't remember how it works on older moto phones, but it will override anything you set in the app I recommend not changing nthe frequencies.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Kauã Cândido:
That's the problem. I didn't mess with the clocks. I just remember checking the highest clock option in the aroma installer setup. and installed the ''EX Kernel Manager'' app from the play store. After a while, I noticed that my cell phone started to get hot and slow. When I went to check the app, I noticed that the cpu clock was low on 8 cores and the cpu usage was 100% all the time.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] vertab7:
using your kernel on my Oneplus 7 pro and its working great! I want to use a tool that requires my onboard qualcomm wifi to be put in monitor mode, does your kernel allow for this? thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Event_Horizon:
No support for OnePlus 10 Pro 🥲
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] flar2:
EX Kernel manager works on any device and can be used to flash kernels on any device

However, there is no elementalx kernel for the OP10. It's not possible for me to continue buying top of the line phones every year.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] kopiciekda:
hey, thanks for the app, I really appreciate it. curious about one thing, what is the use of this button?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] OneNutShort:
Hi Flar, really appreciate all you do. Had been using your kernel for the 4a 5g for quite some time, always updated through the kernel manager. I could've sworn I was still using it after updating to Android 12, but I did a clean install, and now whenever I check in the app it tells me that it couldn't find a compatible version. Am I losing my marbles, did you ever have a version for the 4a 5g on 12?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] flar2:
I did build some kernels for the 4a earlier on Android 11, but I don't have the device and the builds for pixel 5 and 4a stopped working, so there are no new versions.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] BuBbLeFIZzY:
Could you possibly setup a donation for specific devices? That way you won't have to buy every phone on your own and you'll be able to support more devices! I got $100 ready for support of OnePlus 10pro 5g USA unlocked. Loved using your kernel in the past and finally got a phone that can be rooted. Thank you for still grinding for this long!
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] flar2:
I'll think about it, but the other issue is time. Kernel development is very time consuming and not many people are using custom kernels anymore. I prefer to spend development time on my apps, which have many, many times more users.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] BuBbLeFIZzY:
Thank you for even thinking about it! Keep doing what you can for the community! I'll be in the background waiting for that phone donation support if you ever set it up.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] liver20:
Hi flar!!

I bought your app many years ago.. But one question.. If i backup dtbo, boot and vendor dlkm, for flash this backup can i use flasher Option in exkm for each file?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] flar2:
The flasher is only for the kernel backup, which is just a boot.img that could also be flashed manually or in recovery. The others need to be restored from their respective screens on the tools page because they need to go to the proper partition (and other stuff needs to happen for the dklm image)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] beeshyams:
To be sure, no kernel for Pixel 4a? (not 5G)?

I am confused because I see an update available in the app. It's been months since I applied update

Edit : I am still on February update. The latest kernel in the app will not work as per notes. Can I get a link to P4a-2.09 please?

Please clarify. Thanks
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] hanschke:

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] bikacharf:
I give root permission in applications such as hktweaks, FR, Ex karnel Manager...

I am changing the CPU and GPU settings. (I'm raising)

I enter the game and it automatically lowers the settings. I tried all ways but no result.

What is your recommendation?

For example, I set GPU 702Mhz. When I enter the game, 377Mhz drops. The game stutters.

How can I fix this problem without resetting the phone? Could you help? If the problem is in the scorecard, can you send me a link to the scorecard file that I can upload?

Hi there,

is there any chance to get the custom kernel update featute via json-Link like in FKM? I think thia is the main reason why many people choose franco kernel manager over Ex Kernel Manager, although EX KM looks a lot better and i actually like it more.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] flar2:
I've been planning on it, just very busy with my other apps these days
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Laurentios:
Does restarting phone resets kernel settings every time?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] flar2:
Yes, unless you toggle the apply on boot switch beside the setting

Also double check that your operating system is not preventing the app from running at boot (e.g. disable advanced battery optimization on OnePlus phones, grant Autostart on Xiaomi, etc)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] flar2:
I finally got around to the update.

The new Flash Center screen has everything you need for flashing kernel stuff.

-import custom kernel JSON config (same format as FK)

-create custom kernel JSON config (for devs)

-backup, restore and flash boot images, dtbo images, dlkm images and recovery images (depending on whether your device has these partitions)

I added a "flash" button at the bottom of the kernel, dtbo, dlkm and recovery backup screens. From here, you can select an image file to flash to these partitions

Please note that adding a custom kernel config by selecting a file won't check for updates (because no update URL is provided). Adding custom kernel configs with a URL will check for updates daily and show a notification for new updates.

You can have as many custom kernel configs as you want

The big blue button at the top of Flash Center allows flashing any boot image, anykernel zip, Magisk modules or other recovery zip. It is recommended that you don't try flashing ROMs this way, for obvious reasons.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Stogie87:
That's really amazing. Thanks for including the update function. I already love it! :)
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ew:
Thank you very much for the update. Please forgive me if I am overlooking the obvious (which I obviously am) but where do I find the backup functionality (ie back up my kernel or other images). I have looked everywhere in the app and can't seem to find it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] flar2:
Tap "Flash" on the Dashboard, or select Flash Center from the navigation drawer. You'll see it on the Flash Center screen. Backup shortcuts are also listed on the Tools screen.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ew:
Interesting. I don't see that. No wonder I couldn't find it. Any idea why?
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ew:
Forgot to mention. I am on a Moto 6 G5, stock ROM but rooted, Android 12. Let me know if there's some diagnostic information in addition that I can provide
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] flar2:
You didn't receive the updatenwith Flash Center yet. Nevertheless, kernel backups (and dtbo, dlkm and recovery, if supported) have always been on the Tools screen. The only new thing is custom kernel JSON configs
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ew:
Any idea why I am not seeing the backup functions?

Edit: I uninstalled/reinstalled. Play store showed that it was the version updated on 8/10. I still don't see the backup functions.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] flar2:
I don't know what to tell you. Maybe you don't have root.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ew:
I definitely have root. I don't know what to say either - would love for this to be able to work for me. I have an old phone and I see the backup functions on it. Must be something with this phone, but I have no idea as to what it can be.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] flar2:
Flash Center is for Lollipop and later. The only thing you are missing is the custom kernel JSON thing. There are no custom kernels using that update mechanism on pre-Lollipop devices, so you don't need it.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ew:
Just to clarify - my phone is running Android 12.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] flar2:
What you're describing is impossible then.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ew:
Impossible - but true. If there is any diagnostic information that I can provide, I will be happy to do so. Otherwise I guess I am just out of luck.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] flar2:
Take a screenshot of EXKM with the nav drawer open, and the about screen to see the version
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ew:
I'm not sure what you meant by the nav drawer but I have attached three screenshots including one with the menu and one with the main screen so that the kernel version is visible. Hopefully this is what you need, if not I would be happy to provide anything else.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Stogie87:
Are you rooted with magisk or did you use something else for root?

Does your phone support separate boot image?

Did you download exkm from a different source?

Anyway thanks again and keep up the good work 🤙
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] flar2:
I didn't realize there was an update, I will check out tomorrow
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] flar2:
I check the google repo and there is no new kernel source. The latest kernel build should work, and I assume is the final update from Google.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] northrune:
Sorry for the disturbance, when patching I saw there was no newer kernel rev number, would be nice if there was a tool that'd show that right out of a boot.img.

By the way the high display lighting setting makes the phone freeze and reboot, just noting after all.

@flar2 Is there an option to disable verification/ veridity when flashing kernel? I disabled when I flashed stock on web installer and so guess I must disable again when flashing custom kernel? Pixel 4
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] Flyview:
Hey @flar2 is there a separate thread for your High Brightness Mode app? I couldn't find one. I just bought it for my Pixel 6 Pro but have a few questions:

1) When HBM is turned OFF, it seems like the brightness is set to regular max brightness, even if the systems' brightness slider is much lower than max brightness. Can you make it resume the regular brightness as indicated by the system brightness slider instead of max brightness?

2) When HBM is turned ON (whether auto or manual), the system brightness slider still works, but at a higher range than stock. i.e. min brightness is higher than max brightness when HBM is off. If you use the slider and drag it to max, HBM gets even brighter than when first turned on. Can you make it so that when HBM turns on, it adjusts the HBM range to something proportional to the slider position? For example, if manual brightness is already at max and then HBM is turned on, it should go to absolute max brightness on its own, without having to wiggle the slider to max again.

3) What does the "Calibrate" menu function do?

Please let me know your thoughts!

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] flar2:
The October updates are out.

The release notes will say something like "October security update" which should be clear which version it is aimed at. Unless noted, the monthly releases are compatible with any recent system images. Recent kernel security updates are so minor they have no effect on anything really.
