Big change. I was effected by the panel and wifi calling issues. The last few betas have been perfect. Thanks as always.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cd993:
Agreed, there is a noticeable difference in fluidity, this thing is NIPPY!!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] reddevil08:
Okay, the new update gave me a chance to test the issue some more.

The issue only arises on custom kernels if you use the "fastboot boot twrp.img" command to boot into twrp. I used the twrp zip for permanent twrp and then booted into the recovery directly from system. OTG was working fine. No issue when you boot into bootloader and use the volume keys to boot to recovery. It just happens when we use the command.

Anyways it becomes a non issue if I just keep twrp permanently and boot directly from system.

Thanks for your help though, couldn't have guessed that the issue was because of booting twrp temporarily without your post.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Phelicks:
Is it ok to flash DP3?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nathanchance:
Did you read either the OP or the update post?

"Up to date with the June security update (android-8.1.0_r0.65) and P Preview 3 (android-p-preview-3_r0.2)"

"Merge P Preview 3 changes"

Yes, it's fine to flash on P DP3.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jlokos:
What is the wifi issue? I am on verizon and have not been able to get it to work with the June security updates.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] FlatOutRU:
Ok, for some reason after flashing 2.44 my down speaker stopped working

Running dp3

NVM, reboot solved problem
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ridobe:
Those on TMobile lost wifi calling. It was fixed during the beta blitz.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jlokos:
Got it; thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] arvylas:
Building on my latest comment about 2.34.b7 i want to say that this build is phenomenal paired with Pp3. Overnight drain was 1%. I never thought that was possible. All these with the best fluidity until now. Hey [MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION] can you make it charge itself while idling?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] an21281:
Not sure if you thought I meant that my cpu was being maxed out all the time at 1958mhz, it wasnt? What I meant is that the highest I can set my CPU speed(Big Cluster) is 1958MHz. Clicking 2457mhz and it just stays at 1958. In EXKM under cpu times fro big cluster it only goes up to 1958MHz(pics att'd) The last Flash Kernel release that worked fine(able to set max cpu 2457mhz) is 053018 Stable 2. I dont think Magisk/root could cause this? I can see it maxing out the cpu all the time, but not changing the max cpu setting speed from 2457 to 1958? I attached a screenshot of my EXKM CPU settings and logs using the latest Flash v2.44.

Thanks a lot, Your post helped!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dukat0s:
No problem here at all ..kernel works great battery life is amazing. ..maybe try to clear exkm C'ache it will help you 101% ;)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ram4ufriends:
Hit that thanks button on his post, helps him in getting credit for his contribution...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] an21281:
Yes tried clearing EXKM app cache and even data, tried using Kernel Auditor same thing. Like I said if I flash back to 053018(or earlier kernel) it works fine... Very strange, maybe its just something with my phone....
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ram4ufriends:
Do you ever sleep Nathan or do you have the ability to develop while sleeping? :laugh:;) You just released 2.44 yesterday and I already see 2.45 rc uploaded today...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nathanchance:
Very little :silly:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ram4ufriends:
Haha...We all sincerely appreciate your efforts on this device and across forums...your kernel definitely brought more life to Pixel community...

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nathanchance:
Fixed, thanks :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Blue305:
[MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION] can be a silly question but are the RC builds the beta ones that we used to see? Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nathanchance:
See the OP under the downloads section for the difference between beta and rc builds.

Anyone else experiencing device lockups with 2.45 rc1? Ambiant display seems to stay on with the time it locked up. Hard reboot required to get control back. I will grab logs next time. Did not seem to o have the issue on 2.44.

Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ram4ufriends:
I am not using ambient display and no issues so far...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] clnzx2:
No issues at all here.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nathanchance:
Update!

1. Thanks to flar2, you no longer have to flash Magisk after the kernel to stay rooted! Please note, if you ever need to uninstall Magisk, please be sure to flash the kernel after that, otherwise you may end up in a bootloop due to the way the cmdline is patched. I have requested that topjohnwu take this into account on his end and I'll let you know if that ever changes.

2. I discovered yesterday that franciscofranco's app can flash my kernel with the manual flasher option thanks to it being an AnyKernel2 zip. Super convenient if you don't want to reboot to TWRP to flash a new kernel, especially now that reflashing Magisk isn't necessary.

Remember any and all bug reports need to include logs and clear steps to reproduce (see the info in the OP). You should also know what version it started with. If you want to be a tester and get builds before they are released here or just hangout, feel free to stop by Telegram!

Short changelog

Linux 4.4.138

Make reflashing Magisk after the kernel unnecessary

Update the zip for flashing while booted through Franco's kernel manager

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nathanchance:
Nope, 2.45 contained nothing that would change that :/
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] clothednblack:
Interesting, does this only work after flashing through twrp to get on your latest 1st?

I used francos manager to flash this latest release, said it flashed, so I checked about phone, but it was still. 44. So I tried to reboot and got stuck in a bootloop on the G white screen. Forced reboot to bootloader, went to recovery, flashed your .45 zip, followed my magisk (just in case) and booted just fine.

Edit: I may have been on stock prior to flashing, I was back and forth all day
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nathanchance:
Don't know. I flashed my OP6 kernel with it on the stock rooted kernel and it was fine, no reason this device should work differently.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] clothednblack:
Hmm ok. I'm on stock 8.1 and was using your previous release. Figured I'd try your new one by using the kernel manager. I don't mind using twrp, but a short cut is always nice.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nathanchance:
It's possible that there was something up with the new Magisk detection. Hopefully future upgrades should be proper.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bggold:
Worked fine for me. I already had 2.44 installed flashed 2.45 with francos manager and it booted with root.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] clothednblack:
Strange. Thanks for the info
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] matt1313:
2.45 flashed np without magisk. Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sirxdroid:
Awesome work. Next can we get live kernel patching? :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] praveen6585:
Flashed using Franco's kernel manager without issues.. this new option with the skipping of Magisk has made this a super convenient way to upgrade.. and considering the frequency with which Nathan updates the kernel this is a much needed 'feature' ;) now all we need is the auto check for updates and auto flash :p
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] srqrob:
So am I (redundantly) correct that all I need to do is download Flash's latest kernel and then flash it in Franco's Manual flasher? No rooting again? No reboot? Amazing.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] joetheshmo:
You still need to reboot
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Oh the horror!! ?????
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sirxdroid:
One day ...

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pvtjoker42:
Love the not having to flash magisk every time now! Great work nate!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nekromantik:
Great update.

Do you include sultan custom CPU boost driver?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dukat0s:
He is..

On the latest beta ... Soon he update the links here too ..
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ram4ufriends:
2.45 has been smoothest and battery efficient for me..
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prey521:
Agreed, 2.45 has been smooth and over 6 hours of SOT for me with heavy usage! Very impressed!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bgboii:
Just read this and might be a reason to root my phone. Haven't really had any good reasons to root since I got this phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ram4ufriends:
With flash and sultan kind of working together, this would be perfect reason to root....
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] greyhd:
Yes you should root. Let the kernel settle and you can get 7 hours.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] praveen6585:
A friendly word of advice for those who want time for their kernel to settle.. dont look into the beta folder ;)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Triscuit:
You had to say something didn't you, sigh, no rest for this crack flasher.....lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] def-g:
2.45 Battery is INSANE and smooth. Gonna try Sultan's latest. Sultans Last version I found the screen unlock was faster than Nathan's and slightly zippier Also. But with one zip flashing and this incredible battery the War rages on. Lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cbasse:
I assume this also means no more need to remove a PIN before flashing?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Ati75:
Why do you guys remove the pin before flashing? Using the newest TWRP there is no need to remove the pin. I regularly flash kernels, and have no problems doing so.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] comediiian:
I'm also on latest TWRP and still get the password question in TWRP if pin is set on my phone.

After removing my pin, i can go on in TWRP.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] praveen6585:
That is correct. Use Franco app and use the flash and reboot option. No need to remove pin.

I used the latest TWRP as well but I used to get a pattern failed when i tried it in TWRP. So I had to remove all security logins and then boot into TWRP.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Ati75:
I also get the password question, but i just enter the password/pin and all is good. Definetely better than having to set up your fingerprints after flashing.

Edit : I didn't try it with a pattern though. Pin or password should be fine.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] comediiian:
i also have a pin, but if i type the pin in TWRP, pin wrong ;)

But don't matter coz i will do it with francos app instead of TWRP.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] srqrob:
The pin issue was with TWRP which has apparently been solved, but this method does not involve TWRP. The flash is this process is done through Franco's Kernel Manager and does not call TWRP. Worked flawlessly for me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Triscuit:
I'll chime in and say that I use a pattern lock and when booting into TWRP it presents me with a 3x3 dot grid just like on the normal lockscreen, swipe your pattern and decrypts just like a pin.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dr_rick13:
gents, I have a question. I updated to June update yesterday and flashed 2.45 but ever since, every app I open takes between 3-4 seconds to launch. It wasn't like that before, and I noticed my min cpu freq is 300mhz instead of 364 and 345mhz respectively. I try to change it but it doesn't work.

I've been on Flash kernel since I got my 2XL and never encountered this issue before. Any help/advice is greatly appreciated. Kinda frustrating to use this phone when everything takes forever to open.

Other than that, flawless.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nathanchance:
Try the latest beta kernel and see if it improves. I've never had that experience and the minimum frequency of both CPUs is 300MHz.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dr_rick13:
it's definitely odd, I've been with 0 issues since I got this phone. But to wait 3-4 seconds to open an app is ridiculous. This is after a clean install and factory reset after June update.

I'll let you know man, thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Az Biker:
Been on June update (through DU Official) and 2.45 for a few days and apps open super snappy, not issues... Can't speak to batt life just yet, but seems as good or better than previous...

Zero issues, and I didn't reflash Magisk either :p
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dr_rick13:
hate you ;) I really dont wanna factory reset again, takes me a good hour to restore everything as it was...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bgboii:
What's sultan? First I hear about it.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] y2kbugleung:
Manual-flashler force-closed after choosing flash / flash-and-reboot.

Maybe I am on Android-P?

Flash 2.45 with TWRP works. No need to reflash Magisk.

Thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] clothednblack:
Maybe a theme issue? Using substratum to theme the kernel manager?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] comediiian:
Same problem for me, think it's not ready for Android P
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] praveen6585:
Are ull referring to Franco's app? It is working perfectly for me on Android P
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] comediiian:
Use it on P but always get fcs ifi try to flash a kernel manual.

Enforcing and permissive, same result, get fcs.

But today magisk manager also do a fcs without a reason, perhaps an issue from magisk?

I'm on 16.4
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] praveen6585:
im on 16.4 as well.. had you done a clean flash when moving to DP3? i had a bunch of issue after a dirty flash from DP2 to DP3 but after a clean flash, 0 issues.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] comediiian:
Full clean because bootloader was locked before.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pantmunu:
Apps forceclosing is kind of normal on beta builds. Not related to kernels. Magisl forcecloses too. But I read somewhere that giving the magisl app sometime after opening ( not interacting with the app) will help minimise the force closes.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] comediiian:
I have never said that it is the kernel.

I think that francos app is not yet 100% working on Android P or the problem is with the magisk beta.

Until everything works properly, i just flash over TWRP, not really problematic.

Only removing the pin or the fingerprint is annoying, before I can flash something in the TWRP, but not really bad either.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Triscuit:
Temp fix to stop magisk from FCing guys, put your phone into airplane mode before opening magisk, once it loads you can take it out of airplane, I think it has something to do with magisk update check.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] chikimonke:
Just disable the update check in the settings. Also, give the app a couple seconds to settle before selecting anything. Using this method, I've had much fewer crashes (though not elliminated)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Triscuit:
For me personally just disabling the update check in settings did not stop the force closes, but enabling airplane mode did. I swear our phone comes shipped with Gremlins inside already lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Yes....yes it does! ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] FlatOutRU:
For my usage i`m getting lower battery stats on 2.45 rather than on 2.44
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dehnhaide:
I second that! 2.44 was absolutely amazing from a battery perspective.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] FlatOutRU:
Can you share 2.44 link? Couldn't obtain it anymore

Meh, it was in the middle :P
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] drewski_1:
Worked for me on P.

But my phone just bricked.

Recovery screen saying system looks corrupt. Try again or Factory Reset. Neither helped. . . It's been a few days since I installed the kernel so don't think it's related :crying:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bobbarker2:
It's definitely not kernel related unless you somehow flashed it to a different partition.

Download the factory image from Google and Flash that from fastboot.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dej1i:
Detecting gestues

[MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION], with gestures enabled on this kernel. If I wanted to create an app that detect those gestures and does a command, e.g skip music on swipe left. what will the app need to be listening for from the kernel. Does the kernel send intents on swipe? Thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] def-g:
Absolutely WICKED. I'm on 2.45 btw. Cheers Nathan.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] drewski_1:
I tried the factory image. Didn't fix it.

Google is sending me a replacement.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Az Biker:
First I saw the 3h 32m SOT and thought, meh :rolleyes:

Then I saw you still had 47% batt remaining and I was, WHOA! :eek:

Nice stat!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Nekromantik:
My average hourly drain is always between 1.5 and 2.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cd993:
Very happy with this kernel :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] JazonX:
Perfectly controlled Drain! How did you kill the Android System and Play services to that level?

What tweaks are you using ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cd993:
I'd say it must be Doze for GMS magisk module perhaps taking care of it along with restricting a lot of apps with App Ops (built in to NitrogenOS). For example for Google Play Services I have "keep awake" and "run in background" disabled and face no issues with using apps or notifications etc.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] JazonX:
It didn't affect Gmail / WhatsApp Notifications?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cd993:
Nope, my WhatsApp works fine and so does Inbox by Gmail (I no longer use the Gmail app) with no delay on notifications. My phone is nippy and energetic whilst awake and when asleep, sleeps like a baby! :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
"Nippy and energetic" Bwahahahahaha...sounds like one of these! ???
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cd993:
Hahaha more like one of these! :laugh:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] JazonX:
Thanks, I just tried INBOX and I think that will stay.

Deleted the Gmail APK already..
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] EnIXmA:
Yeah.. best battery life for me too on 2.45
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Triscuit:
That good huh? Maybe I'll give it a try.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Az Biker:
So you're saying that using Inbox by Google allowed you to delete the Gmail app?

Does it matter if you uninstall it or just delete the Gmail apk?

Did you lose any functionality deleting Gmail; like connecting external email accounts?

Thanks! I can't remember the last time I did anything with an apk :D
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Depending on how you installed Gmail, it'll either be in....root/system/priv-app....or...root/data/app :cool:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Az Biker:
yeah, I found it right after I posted that, data/app, thanks!

Been forever since I messed with apks :p
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
I have been using inbox since it came out and i can't go back to Gmail lol

Only prob inbox has its sending icon request i dont know why but for me it doesn't work lol

Cheers ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cd993:
Yeah I find it pretty much the same in function, as I've removed the labels (not sure if that's the main benefit of it?!) But I prefer it's interface, with its subtle differences, along with being able to mark an email as "done" via the notification.

Sorry for the off topic!

Franco Kernel Manager now natively supports Flash Kernel. Just go to options, change channel for kernel updates to Flash Kernel, and away you go.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nathanchance:
In case you guys don't follow me on Twitter or Google+, I announced yesterday that Franco Kernel Manager will now seed out Flash Kernel updates, just like FrancoKernel; just go to Options and choose the "Flash Kernel" channel. You can download the latest zip from my server and flash it all without ever having to reboot into recovery, it's really great. If you don't think it's a good investment, I will still be seeding out builds as I normally have. I have updated the OP with instructions if you get stuck. Let me know if you have any questions or issues, enjoy!
