Hey everybody,

please test the follwing kernel and report back. It is made for latest Android 10.

It´s flashable via EXKM or FKM.

I flashed it on my device and it seems to work fine. However the Pixel 2 XL, is not my daily driver any longer.

Please report back and once you guys confirm, everything is still working as it should I´ll release it officially.

Changelog will also be in the released post then.

Have a nice day.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Dandaivin123:
Just flashed the kernel, everything is working fine so far. I'll comment if anything goes awry.

Thank you for your work!!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Bverns88:
So rad. Used this all throughout A9. Can't wait to see how this goes on A10. Just flashed sultans so will see how that goes then flash this. Thanks again much appreciated.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rwanek:
just installed on my 2xl latest october, will report but it already feels snappier. thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ilgonzo:
Thanks for kirisakura 7.0 ?

it is possible to flash with twrp?

Thanks a lot
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Bverns88:
Been running this all day no issues. Thank you for this.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bluey45:
Thank you mate! I'll give it a try and report back
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Bverns88:
That's what I did. Unlike the other kernels I have tried, you don't have to reinstall magisk with this one after installation.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Freak07:
Thanks for the reminder actually.

I need to change the OP to reflect this change properly!

And thanks for confirming that TWRP works also fine. (it should of course, confirmation is always nice to have)

I rarely use TWRP these days, as I can do everything I want with magisk once I have flashed a magisk patched boot.img.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Bverns88:
No problem. Honestly used this Kernel a whole year on A9, never upgraded past the December security patch. Worked great the whole time. Using ADB fastboot and just flashing the Twrp image without installing it works great. Flashing the latest twrp zip is quite stable though. Only issue is the mounting errors when installing things but it should not cause any problems...at least it has not for me thus far.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Freak07:
It’s not a question of, if TWRP works, but if I personally need it at all.

I have no use for TWRP on stock roms currently. It isn’t more convenient for me, as I have to use fastboot to boot the TWRP.img as well, as when flashing a magisk patched boot.img. So a PC is needed in any case to get rooted.

Once I’m rooted I can flash kernels or boot.imgs via EXKM or FKM. And all other modifications, if I want any, I can simply do via magisk.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Bverns88:
Yeep. Nice.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bluey45:
Yeah same here, that's what I do as well.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ilgonzo:
Thanks a lot! ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rwanek:
after 24h of use noticed only 1 annoying thing, but I'm not sure if its related to custom kernel:

- Device Personalization Services keeps closing with annoying popup - don't know if this mess with some other services? could you please check if you can open: settings-privacy-advanced-Device Personalization Services. mine doesn't open, juz exits to main settings page.

thanks for feedback
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bluey45:
Mine is working OK for device personalisation. Didn't crash for me though.

Thanks [MENTION=3428502]Freak07[/MENTION] the current kernel v7 is working fine on my P2XL running A10 on October patch, flashed using FKM. No issues so far. Thanks for your hard work in keeping the kernel updated. Much appreciated!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rwanek:
flashed kirisakura kernel again, this time via EXKM and everything is working fine now.

so it must have been sth with flashing via twrp (twrp not installed, just flashed to boot)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bluey45:
Good to hear!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bluey45:
[MENTION=3428502]Freak07[/MENTION] will you be able to add in a HBM for your P2XL kernel?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Unlikely since the LG panel on the P2XL is not compatible with HBM :(
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bluey45:
:crying: damn

Thanks badger!

As long as [MENTION=3428502]Freak07[/MENTION] keeps this kernel updated I'm happy!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Freak07:
No, there´s not direct HBM mode for the Pixel 2 XL, as far as I know.

Google decreased the maximum brightness of the device intentionally. There´s a commit floating around, which reverts these changes.

Since that mod just allows the phone to use a higher brightness on its own (when adpative brightness is used or you slide the brightness slider) I won´t add this.

There´s no need for damaged displays.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Freak07:

No worries! Thanks for the explanation [MENTION=3730810]Badger50[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3428502]Freak07[/MENTION]
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MrBrady:
Glad to see another kernel being maintained to keep our devices alive. Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bluey45:
Eagerly waiting for new updates with November patches! :D
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MAD Industries:
Been running 7.0.0 since the original post a week ago and it seems to run okay until I connect to my car's Android Auto. Then everything slows to a crawl and continues to lag until the audio becomes choppy, maps stop updating and eventually crash, UI takes several seconds to react to input. If I disconnect from the car, the lag persists. I have to reboot to resolve the issue.

Anyone else having this issue? I'm reverting to stock kernel today to see if it's just coincidence.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] joedajoester:
That's odd, have you been able to narrow it down to what's causing it? I'm on the November update so I can't flash this kernel yet, and I really want to. I use Android auto daily so I hope it won't break it
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] izati:
You can still use this kernel on November update, it still works, just without whatever kernel patches are applied in the update ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Cydras:
I installed the KerneL on ColtOS Beta.

Works very good, my device feels much smoother and is more responsive.

Thank you very much!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MAD Industries:
Well I went back to stock with the Nov update and it has been working smoothly. Unfortunately, battery life isn't nearly as good as what I get with kirisakura. This custom kernel has been really solid for me throughout android 9. I'll give this another week or so and then flash kiri again and see if the issue comes back. Regardless, I would say just give this kernel a shot. You can always easily flash back to stock. Seems everyone else in this thread has been using it without issue
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bluey45:
I hope Freak07 will update our kernel with the November release soon.

---------- Post added at 06:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 AM ----------

I've just got the magisk system less module and adaway running. Haven't encountered the above issue you described. Could it be a module?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rodcpierce:
Man, I always had this issue with this kernel. All the way back to A9. Seemed I was the minority but it happened consistently. Never have looked at it again.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rwanek:
Any update on this kernel? I don't know if it's normal but I'm beginning to encounter lags and stutter, don't know if it's related to the kernel only. Rebooting fixes lags for some time.

Thank you [MENTION=3428502]Freak07[/MENTION] ! Appreciate you keeping us P2 XL owners updated!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] crixley:
I'm getting some freezing and lagging on this so far but I'm going to give it some time to settle. From what I hear battery life is great on this so I really want to give it a good shot :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] crixley:
Just as I suspected some settling time fixed it right up. It's great now and battery life definitely seems to better from my experience today!

are you still following sultan's update or just adjusting by yourself?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] crixley:
This idles low so I don't think he's basing it off sultan's
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Freak07:
no this kernel doesn´t "follow" sultans kernel if I understand your question correctly.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] crixley:
This kernel has the best mix of performance and battery life in my opinion.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Lughnasadh:
Just recently got a Pixel 2 XL and trying this kernel for the first time. Running pretty darn well so far. Appreciate the work and effort [MENTION=3428502]Freak07[/MENTION] :good:

Anyone running pixel dust 10 with this? I'm having lots of delay between hitting nav bar buttons and system response...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Lughnasadh:
I'm on stock using this kernel and am not experiencing any lags at all so your delay is probably rom related and not kernel related.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] matrixios01:
when I install it kernel then it needs to be reinstalled the magisk.zip with twrp?

Στάλθηκε από το Pixel 2 XL μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk

Nope. Root will be maintained after you flash the kernel with EXKM, FKM, or TWRP :good:

now i go back to android P
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Takaani:
Actually I think it is kernel related since I'm on stock and I'm having severe hiccups while using the nav bar. Might be a memory thing since it mostly happens from the switcher
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rwanek:
I'm also on stock with this kernel and this time it's working perfect. On October version I had some lags and stutter but this last version works perfect. Maybe try to reflash it?

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Lughnasadh:
If it's only happening with the nav bar it may be launcher related. Maybe try a different launcher. I am still not experiencing what you are using this kernel on stock.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sharkie405:
Are you using a custom launcher? That may be the cause as well.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Sui77:
I have problems during switching between recent apps. It is not kernel related, had that with all kernels.

Seems to be a memory issue.

Super annoying
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] khavkhd:
Wild guess, but since you're on latest Pixel Dust, you must be using 3rd party launcher, because stock one is trash, so it has to do with home button double-tap gesture of some sort. Had the same problem back in the Pie days. Just turn off whatever actions are tied to double-tapping home button, should fix it right away.

Has anyone had any issues with Bluetooth audio since installing this Kernal? Volume is fine on phone but when connected to a Bluetooth headset the volume is very low.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] warrencoakley:
Has anyone had any issues with Bluetooth audio since installing this Kernal? Volume is fine on phone but when connected to a Bluetooth headset the volume is very low.

I see some kernals has the ability to adjust earpiece, microphone or headset gain can this be adjusted in this one and if so where?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] warrencoakley:
Can someone tell me how to remove this Kernal indefinitely? I flash the stock boot img but the Kernal does come back after a further reboot. Unfortunately it interferes with 2FA from Google. Thanks in advance.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Restore the backup stock rooted boot.img with EXKM.

Fastboot the stock rooted boot.img to both slots.

Fastboot the stock December update :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Freak07:
Flashing factory image with -w removed is probably the easiest way.

alternatively restoring manually: flash boot.img and dtbo.img extracted from the matching factory image via fastboot.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] warrencoakley:
I'll wait until January's security update and do it then. Thanks for your help. The Kernal starts off great and then after a while I'm suffering from lag. If I reboot it's back to normal but then suffers from lag again. Also 2 step verification text messages from Google and Nest do not come through with this Kernal installed. Hopefully the creator can fix that bug.

---------- Post added at 06:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 PM ----------

Is there a particular command in fastboot to do both slots as I usually just do fastboot flash and then drag the img in from the folder location presuming it's flashing both slots. Do I need to add something to the command for both slots?

---------- Post added at 06:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 PM ----------

Hi. There seems to be a bug receiving 2 step verification and text messages from Google and Nest with the Kernal installed. Flashed back stock and the text messages came in as normal. Flash back to the custom stock and it's the same result. Can you fix this bug for the next release please?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
fastboot flash boot boot.img --slot=all

Substitute magisk_patched.img for boot.img if you want to fastboot the rooted .img to both slots :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] warrencoakley:
Can you possibly fix the bug with 2 step verifications? It seems the likes of Google, Nest & eBay's text messages cannot come though with this Kernal installed.

However it's only some and not all that this happens too but it would be great if you could fix this.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] warrencoakley:
I tried flashing it again and it looses root after reboot. Then when I flash the custom Magisk boot img it puts back the original stock Kernal. Not sure what's going on?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Of course your back to the original stock rooted kernel. You flashed it after all :cool:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] warrencoakley:
Yes but here is the issue.

Phone rooted on stock Kernal,

Flash custom Kernal,

Reboot and loose root,

Flash custom Magisk img,

Reboot,

Rooted but back to stock kernal.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Do you have persevere encryption and DM-verity checked to the on position in magisk manager?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] warrencoakley:
Indeed I do.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Your running the canary build I see. Did you patch your boot.img with that particular build, or was that from a previous version of magisk you used to patch the boot.mg?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] warrencoakley:
Got to use canary for GPay exploit doesn't work on stable or beta. I patched the boot img from December's in Magisk. Although there has been an update to Magisk recently which could be the issue. I patched using that build.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
I would patch your boot.img with the current magisk canary that your using and try that first. Also make sure play protect is disabled before you do. Other than that, I don't know what the deal is. Guess that's why I don't use, or will ever use Gpay. To me it's not worth the hassle, not to mention my cash in pocket and Ccard never let me down :good::cool:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] warrencoakley:
That's what I did. But this was an updated build oy yesterday so it could well be an issue with the build. Nightmare.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Play protect also seems to be causing some issues as well. Use cash or a credit card! Headaches all gone! ???
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Did you by chance have magisk manager hidden as well when you updated? If so, unhide it and try it again.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] warrencoakley:
OK I'll give this a go and will report back.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Freak07:
no sound control in this kernel.

I just tried my bluetooth headphones and they work fine. Can´t turn them all the way up, because it gets unhealthily loud.

I have no idea, how the kernel could affect this.

I don´t have a google nesthub in use so I can´t even try to reproduce.

How does ebay 2step verification work? You mean you log in, it sends you an sms with a code and you have to enter it?

I tried to reproduce it. I flashed back stock kernel patched with magisk previous to 20200, flashed my kernel via exkm, root was preserved.

Then I patched boot.img with latest magisk canary 20201, flashed magisk patched boot.img, flashed my kernel via exkm, root was preserved.

To me it sounds like your system is screwed up. You also stated earlier, you flashed a back stock kernel and after a reboot it was back to custom kernel. Which can´t/shouldn´t happen if it´s done correctly.

what command do you use for flashing the magisk patched img?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] warrencoakley:
Hmmm. Definitely issues with Bluetooth audio. Audio is extremely low. Tried 3 different kernals and yours has a bug somewhere.

Surely you have one of the below. Enable a 2 step verification app like eBay, Instagram, Facebook, RING, IFTTT, Google, WhatsApp, Twitter, Amazon, Microsoft, Yahoo, Linkedin, Snapchat, Reddit, Slack,Dropbox, Evernote, Venmo, PayPal, DashCam, Gmail, TeamViewer, Tumblr, WordPress, Go Daddy, Square, Kickstarter, Sony PlayStation, Steam Guard, Etsy, MailChimp, or Fortnite and let me know how you get on??

Your Kernal is blocking some but not all verification text messages coming through. Flashed back to stock kernal and it works fine. The 3 I have discovered that don't recieve the stock verification text from your Kernal are eBay, Nest, & Google (so Gmail) so if you are using one of these mentioned then enable it and see.

My system isn't screwed up. I'm on a Canary Build of Magisk which is 23.2 and it looks like your running a stable or beta version. Go in and change to Canary Build, install that Magisk build then repeat the above and get back to me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Freak07:
Sorry, but one thing first. If you continue posting with that attitude in this thread, I´m done replying or trying to help you. If you´re not aware of how it comes across, try to be a bit less demanding and provide a bit more information about the issues. ( I´m talking about logs)

I understand you´re having issues, but if I can´t reproduce them I can´t help you.

If this kernel doesn´t work for you, try another. There´s plenty around.

Or better start contributing to this kernel by creating a pull request after fixing your issues. The project is open-source so everybody facing issues can contribute fixing them.

If you report a bug, please follow this guide, which can be found in the OP!

https://github.com/nathanchance/Android-Tools/blob/master/Guides/Proper_Bug_Reporting.txt

I tried to reproduce the bluetooth bug with my pair of headphones, and they are as loud as on my other phones. Like I told you in my previous post.

Maybe you´re using an sound mod, which isn´t compatible with my kernel. No idea. I can´t reproduce the issue here.

Logged in to ebay 5 times with 2 factor authentication and received all 5 codes just fine.

Magisk 23.2 does not exist. The latest canary is Magisk 20.3, with the build number 20201. (the number in brackets). This is the same build your screenshot shows, which you attached in an earlier post yesterday.

Magisk is preserved just fine with the same canary build on my end, like I also told you earlier.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] piyush7243:
Don't think it's a problem with Kernel, I have been using it for a long time and no such issues. Also kernel won't block incoming messages. Please be on stable version and remove all sound mods rather than asking to try 10 different versions
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Takaani:
Agreed, I don't think a kernel would block messages.

I'm using the stock launcher as of right now.
