I find that this phone tends to get stuck at the Google logo when you mess with the A/B partitions. I ran the flash-all.bat and then swapped to partition B and flashed again and as soon as I installed anything from magisk I bootlooped until I set partition A as my main and ran flash-all.bat again
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] clothednblack:
Not kernel related but since I don't hangout in a stock rom thread, I'll ask here.

Does anyone else have an issue with not getting a notification in the status bar or a pop-up on the lock screen for a text message if you received it over night while your phone is charging?

I get notifications all day just fine (pop-up on lockscreen and on the status bar) but if my device is charging while I sleep, and I get a text, I have to open messages + to see if I received one. This started as soon as I upgraded to pie. Again, not kernel related, but just about everyone that knows anything, hangs out in this thread.

Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sirxdroid:
I noticed that notifications in general, not just for texts, are either slow or never show up. Seems to have started with the Sept Pie update or just coincidence? At the same time I updated to the latest Magisk and Flash kernel, hard to tell if any of these updates are causing it or just a Google FCM issue.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] franciscofranco:
That's why you shouldn't, ever, and I mean EVER, mess with the selected partition.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] clothednblack:
OK. Thanks for the confirmation, I'm sure it's Google related and not kernel or magisk as I don't see how those would have any influence on notifications. I looked to see if i had an option for notifications during certain hours or anything, but all those settings are the same as when on Oreo. Very irritating though, I've missed a couple now because I didn't know I received anything.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] joedajoester:
I was following the instructions posted here inside the quoted text. Also, it's great to see you around these forums, I absolutely LOVED your kernel for the nexus 6p

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Jiggs82:
I noticed that happens to me but with Instagram but since I got the beta installed u figured that was the cause of it. I be getting my notifications late, randomlyor I would have to open the app to receive them.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] franciscofranco:
That's a very specific use case if you really must have both slots 100% stock, same condition, same installation. But general rule of thumb, don't fack with the active slots.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ridobe:
You never need to mess with the slots.

I get notifications overnight while charging.

Sometimes I hear them, sometimes they'r all sitting there waiting for me when grab my phone at 0430, but mine do come overnight while charging.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] clothednblack:
Hmm, you said "Hear them". I have mine on DND, I wonder if that's the culprit. DND is set all day, but it's while charging that I don't see them when I wake up. Maybe you could test that unless you need to hear your midnight notification?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Az Biker:
Good copy. Phone to go on DND tonight while charging overnight. Got it!

I'll be online after I get to work at 0500 with my results.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] buffal0b1ll:
Check your DND settings. Change it from "no sounds and no visual notification" to "no sounds" only. Also check that Digital Wellbeing didn't add Wind Down which turns on DND automatically without you ever asking it to. You can delete Wind Down.

Also create a rule in DND for nights so it automatically turns on DND which will use the "no sounds" you set above.

Lastly, if you're using the power button volume toggle to turn on DND at night that explains why you're getting no notifications overnight because that sets the phone to "total silence" which blocks visual and sound notifications.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Indeed! Kinda makes me feel like this! ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] clothednblack:
Awesome and thank you! Correction to DND statement below....

As for end of night, I don't change anything as my phone is on DND all day, notifications work all the time (visual) till I charge it over night, at that point I don't see anything unless I open the apps. I will however, look into the other settings you mentioned, Pie messed with things that already worked... I hate that!

Edit: used the wrong verbiage...

So, looks like DND is actually toggled off, all I'm using is silent mode. Not using Do not disturb!!! Just silent, no sound no vibrate.... WTH!

Edit 2...doesnt appear that I have the Digital Wellbeing on this phone either
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] neekless:
Do you turn on DND at night? Or have it turn on automatically at night?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] clothednblack:
Neither, volume down then toggle from sound to silent. DND is always toggled off, no auto on set for it at all.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Az Biker:
So last night before going to bed, I turned my volume down to silent, (all volume sliders), then plugged in my charger, DND remained toggled off to mimic your setup.

Woke up this morning to about 4 notifications (from Gmail, Google, Marco Polo, and Fitbit)...

9.0 Sept factory image,

Flash kernel 3.08

TWRP 3.2.3-1

Magisk 17.1

No Xposed

Substratum - Pitch Black (paid version)

Hopefully this helps you troubleshoot your issue.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Az Biker:
YES! I have never manually messed with the slots.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] clothednblack:
Thank you for testing this Bro. I have the same setup as you, seems it's just a couple apps (message+) that is snoozing all night lol. Inbox works through the night and most others. Thanks again!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] buffal0b1ll:
This is really OT for a kernel thread. If you can't find the setting in message+ that's causing night notifications not to come thru, then uninstall that POS app and use a different messaging app.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] clothednblack:
Thanks for the kind words, I didn't realize this was a "on topic thread only", good thing my original post on this situation contained a "why I'm posting it here" statement and the OP says it's OK.

?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] buffal0b1ll:
OT is allowed in this thread. The op clearly states so.

I wasn't saying OT isn't welcome here. This topic though seems clearly to be caused by an app or your setup.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] clothednblack:
That's why I asked here, everyone hangs out in this thread. This problem didn't start until I updated to Pie, all settings are the same as when on Oreo, didn't change anything. So I'm trying to see if a new setting was included in pie that I'm unaware of, rather than uninstall a app I've been using for years, especially when that app works till charging mode.

Feel? I don't think feelings have anything to do with the result of running computer code. These things just do what we tell them to do.. it's not their fault when something goes wrong.

And I've flashed Nathan's kernels since the 6P and never had 1 problem.

In regards to this refund movement.. could we start a GoFundMe or Kickstarter to organize this? We need to think of some milestone rewards.. like, after Nate ha refunded $50 of donations we increase his water ration by 50%

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xda Zed:
So I am having an issue where my phone died and it won't charge. I can boot in recovery and everything just fine but no matter how long I charge it when I turn it on it says 0% and might stay on for about 30 seconds but then hard resets and gets stuck on the battery charging screen eventually. I am not sure if it's the kernel though because I flashed another one and it's doing a similar thing I can boot into the OS but when I unplug the phone and plug it back in it resets but this time it charges
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] srqrob:

Quick question: is the latest flash kernel backwards compatible to 8.1 on a Pixel 2? I don't want to use Pie but I do want security updates. (I read the first page and searched the thread yet only found this message on the subject "backwards compatibility.") Thank you!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nathanchance:
Most likely but I'm not explicitly supporting it.

By not being on Pie, you aren't getting all of the latest security patches.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xda Zed:
Yeah it only charges on USB all of my stock chargers are not working anymore and every time I plug it in my phone automatically turns off
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] neekless:
The kernel isn't responsible for all the security updates, it probably only has the linux and qualcomm patches. Most of the security updates are in the system itself so you'll eventually need to go pie if you want security.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xda Zed:
So I want to say I was on 3.07 first and flashed 3.08 had this issue flashed 3.09 and had less issues but after a flash-all script I am fully stock with a locked bootloader again and I am still having an issue where my chargers won't work when my phone is powered on but when I plug it into a usb or a 3rd party charger (even the google WiFi router usb-c which are rated for the same output) it works but resets my phone. Thank god my phone is under warranty they told me it was probably bad hardware I am just hoping they don't make to big of a deal about some of the damage it took just from being in my case including a really small crack in the corner of the back glass :( I might just try and not use it if they send me a new one and just trade it in when the pixel 3 comes out if I like it though

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kallell:
Hi all,

Have a question I would love some feedback on. Since i've had a smartphone, i've always done the custom rom/kernels. However, since being on the pixel 2 xl, i haven't felt the need to do either. That being said, even after a fresh install, it seems to chug along from time to time.

That all being said, do you folks see a noticeable difference between stock and all these custom kernels?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xFirefly93:
Between the custom kernels, yes.

I have not, me myself, tried anyone of the custom ROMS. Stock ROM is rock solid as it is IMO.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kallell:
Appreciated. Not to take away from the discussion of the thread, but any one kernels you prefer over others?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xFirefly93:
I am not really into ranking one kernel over one another, but my own personal first hand choices for Pixel 2 is always ElementalX and/or Flashkernel.

Yes, I am jumping a lot between them whenever I feel for it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Tornado15550:
Hey folks, have you guys noticed aggressive ram management in the recent versions? Many apps (primarily games) seem to be closing as if the device has run out of memory even if there is maybe one other program in my recents list.

Here's a typical scenario:

>Open a game

>Open any other non-demanding application for 15-20 seconds

>Return back to the game and it will need to reload.

I noticed something really weird. I reverted back to stock rooted kernel and i get much better battery life than flash or sultan and more predictable too. I did a bit back and forth keeping each kernel for a couple of days. It used to be the other way round. I think this started with the Sept update but i never tried stock kernel with previous Pie versions.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xFirefly93:
Better battery life and stock kernel? Is that even possible? :eek:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sublimaze:
One or two battery cycles on a new kernel is not enough time to judge battery life. Everyone's setup and usage pattern is unique, so what works for one person won't work for everyone. If stock works best for you, then stick with it :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] arvylas:
Lol i knew that already it meant to be an informative post not a decision making one. The thing is as i mentioned it used to be the other way round. You are right though that 2 cycles can't be a definitive result, the gap though is pretty noticeable.

Flash and Sultan are about the same when it comes to battery life for me. Also i'm with stock rom clean flashed.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xFirefly93:
Tuning the kernel makes a lot for battery life, if done right. And make the differences between kernel A and kernel B bigger than you think.

Obviously.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] arvylas:
when you say tuning? I leave pretty much everything at stock values.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xFirefly93:
Stock values sacrifices a lot when it comes to battery life, for some dumb reason.

Tuning the kernel in a strict, careful way can save a lot of battery juice per each charge cycle without compromising stability, system responsivness or/and performance.
