How do I update to lastest rom?

Does that mean i have to flash boot.img to udpate OTA and flash twrp and kirisakura kernal?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] willypratam4:
is possible to flash this kernel with fastboot?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] melgar:
No need to flash boot.img first.

Reboot to recovery and just sideload the OTA.

Then patch the latest boot.img with Magisk and write it with fastboot. After that flash the Kernel with EXKM/FK Kernel Manager.

[MENTION=3428502]Freak07[/MENTION] will you be able to run a json for FKM? They just added in a auto update function / release for different kernels!

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] crixley:
I seem to have memory leaks or something on this kernel. Sometimes if I use the camera the phone will get ultra laggy till I reboot.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] warrencoakley:
Yep experiencing the same too.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] warrencoakley:
Any update for February patch?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Lughnasadh:
February security patch literally came out only 7 hours ago.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
And[emoji16]
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Lughnasadh:
And maybe people should be a little patient and not expect builds literally hours after the security patch was released.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
That's true. A little patience, people! Did you pay for this work?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Freak07:

Changelog looks like a copy paste mistake to me :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Freak07:
Thanks :) should be fixed now!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] warrencoakley:

Is this compatible with FK Kernal Manager for import configuration to stay up to date on releases?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] arvylas:
Device hangs a few times a day with latest version. I don't remember this happening with older versions and it doesn't happen with ex or sultans kernel.

I think it's memory related because it happens if you close a memory intensive app like a game and immediately try to open another app.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] :
Can Confirm ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
Would you please generate an updater UI for FKU containing a .json configuration? Would make it easy for users to see, download and flash your kernel updates in FKU.

Thanks.

Android R beta is up! Whoooo.

Nope!View attachment 4955109
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] khavkhd:
Maybe stop posting the same message in different threads? Beta is out we get it. Not related to kernels though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
Actually it is. You see, there is no custom kernel for R dp1. It would be nice if there was one coming out first on this thread! So pull the stick out of your...and try to have a little bit of joy for the newness and wonder of Android R.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] khavkhd:
Don't see how you Ric Flair-ing across the threads is going to bring custom kernels to R quicker. Was it some kind of hidden ETA request or something? Calm down happy pants, you know it's coming in due time regardless.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
There is already one for the P4s from Darkroom.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] warrencoakley:
So what works and what's doesnt on it? Have you root?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
Everything works perfectly. No root yet. John Wu is working on getting root.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] warrencoakley:
No lags no issues with any off your apps? GPay working?

I'll wait till John sorts Root before updating.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
No lags. Smoother and faster than 10. Apps working as long as don't need root or a Magisk Module. G pay not working for unlocked bootloaders. Usually has not worked for Beta builds previously. Need Magisk Gpay fix and therefore root to get it to work.

Jump in, the water's just fine!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] warrencoakley:
Think I'll wait until root has been achieved. Rely on too much stuff with Magisk.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Personally, I haven't had any trouble with flashing kernels in the zip format with the official twrp 3.2.1-0. Haven't used the magisk patch since the first week when root was achieved :good::good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] galaxys:
Now that I have twrp 3.2.1-0 installed, I'm enjoying flashing zips again...⚡?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] stryker09:
I personally use the fastboot approach, at least until TWRP works reliably...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] y2kbugleung:
I have patched boot.img with MagiskManager. After flashing from TWRP, Magisk installs its own dtbo for me.

May I know flashing only boot.img is enough? Does flashing dtbo.img (comes with this kernal) a must?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Freak07:

Thanks!! Work fine!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] shag_on_e:
I have still been using boot.img flashing just because I know Magisk works easier. I guess I could flash an already Magisk patched stock boot.img then flash the zip and be good though huh?

---------- Post added at 09:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 AM ----------

If TWRP would support flashing the dtbo partition that would save us from any fastboot flashing. One could patch boot.img, flash in TWRP, flash dtbo, then flash Magisk all from TWRP. Soon come I suppose...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] iron maiden:
hello I installed last kiriskura and magisk 16.4 when turning on it gives me a message to be has produced an error in the system know why? thank you very much

Nothing to worry about :)

Sorry bud wrong kernel:eek:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bosox284:
Going to give your kernel a try, but I couldn't boot when flashing the boot/dtbo.img. Did anyone else have any issues with the boot.img (both stock and patched with Magisk)? For whatever reason, my device would just sit at the G loading screen. I was able to use the zip after flashing the stock boot.img and going into recovery, though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
If your still on the stock boot.img, fastboot twrp, once in temporary twrp, flash the twrp.zip, then the kernel.zip, then magisk 15.2 zip. Do not wipe cache/dalvik, that'll get you stick on the google screen. A hard reboot with the long press of the power button usually fixes it though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Benjamin_L:
Could you please take the r related talk somewhere else. Thanks. Not related to this specific kernel
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Celsiusss:
"unsupported android security patch level. aborting..." gave me "error: 1" also. what do I do?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
Need more details.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] SaberJ2X:
this kernel is really really REALLY good

zstd is a bit heavier in resources, but I'll take a hitch now and then switching between apps, than the phone locking up while watching videos on IG or any other data intensive app locking up for 10 or so seconds while the phone un-chokes itself.

Battery life so far so good, combined with LOS 17.1 I gave the phone a good use this morning 25minutes on it only 2% drained from fully charged, will check the phone during the day, but so far that's better than before.

I don't game much on phones, so, can't comment on that

I'm a big social media user, fb, messenger, telegram, whatsapp, IG, and a lot of amazon and ebay for the clients and heavy browsing when bored...

a criticism I could mention, it makes the camera app lag just a tad... but again, as long as it doesn't freeze my phone for literal seconds like with the stock kernel and the LOS kernel... which would indicate meh LMK or OOM management I'll the small lag here and there...

bottom line is... you got a new user, looking forward to what you can do

if I could request something

it would be if someone could implement Cake SQM or FQ_Codel on a phone...

I'd buy a second pixel 2 just to make it my modem at home

You can switch back via your favorite kernel manager on boot. You need to do a reboot though.

Is this kernel compatible for pixel 2 or just for pixel 2xl?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Lughnasadh:
It's compatible with both.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CamoGeko:
Thank you for keeping the P2XL updated with your custom kernel.

Great to see this device still getting support. Would be awesome if it had double-tap on statusbar to sleep option.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Alxoom33:
The September security patch. Keep checking, it will be up any time now!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Benjamin_L:
Guess op knows... And it won't be until Monday 8th (edit)
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Lughnasadh:
Has something changed?

Google's monthly security updates usually come out the first Monday of every month (unless there is a holiday, then the following day), so Sept. 8 would be September's security update (and likely Android 11).
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Freak07:
hey everybody.

a few users contacted me during the last few months if development of this kernel has stopped.

A brief update: I gifted the Pixel 2 XL to a family member and due to the current situation I haven´t gotten around to updating it to the latest (and last) firmware build from google. Therefore I wasn´t able to test the kernel.

I merged the latest source code and linux-stable in my source.

Only flash this kernel on Android 11 December Firmware!

I´ll just upload the kernel.zip attached to this post. I´d would be great if that build could be tested and flashed.

In case the kernel does not boot, have a dtbo.img and a boot.img (magisk_patched.img in case you want to stay rooted) ready to restore via fastboot.

Please report back and let me know how it went.

Thanks everybody.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Freak07:
Did anybody flash the kernel attached to this post?

If so did it boot? :)

Hello. Stock android 11 must be installed?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Freak07:
Update to 8.0.0

hey guys and girls,

The Pixel 2 XL reached its end of life and will no longer receive software updates from google. Nonetheless here´s the next update, seems this kernel is still not dead :)

I gifted the Pixel 2 XL to a family member and finally found the time to test the kernel for Android 11 I compiled.

Make sure you´re on the December Android 11 update before flashing it. It should work with custom roms as well.

Enjoy and have a nice day :)

Changelog:

- Linux-Stable Upstream up to 4.4.253

- Latest Google code for Android 11 merged (December 2020)

- compiled with clang 11.0.1 prebuilt by google

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Rakstrooper:
@Freak07 Can this be used with pixel experience plus 12.1 on a pixel 2 (non XL)?

I've been thinking of going from stock 11 to PE 12.1 but I wanted the best kernel out there for my phone (bcz idk if just updating OS will do anything to performance and I dont want to buy a new phone) and narrowed down to this (haven't had the time to read on sultan or eleX) but from what I discern reading your posts, you seem to be very knowledgeable and have a breadth of exp with pixel phones so cant go wrong. I see you're also keeping this kernel bleeding edge with the newest unreleased developments and technologies from all aspects of a kernel from multiple sources. I really want this kernel, please let me know if I can use and a link to the files required (or tutorial) - I'm a complete newB. Thanks in advance, you're a LEGEND!

SMH, this kernel is only for A11.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Kenaz Rune:
@Freak07 , I'm loving the Pixel 6 iteration and I still us my Pixel 2xl. is there any way you could build this for A12 and A13? we have at leastvone A13 ROM, I'm on LineageOS for microg A12, and A13 will he available soon.

I understand if it requires too much rework to bother, but I'm hoping it will be simpler since you already have most of the work in place with the A11 build.

Edit: I just found out the pixeldust A13 ROM uses the pixel 3 A13 kernel, if that helps.

Using a Pixel 2 XL and found your kernel. Currently on slot A. Should I flash it through Kernel Flasher on slot A or B?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bosox284:
That's what I ended up doing. Initially though, I tried to fastboot flash boot/dtbo with adb. For whatever reason that caused the phone to hang with both stock boot and patched boot.

Please use the twrp zip for flashing the kernel.

I’ll investigate the issue and hopefully resolve it for the next release :svetius:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] elliwigy:
i simply fastboot boot twrp.img, flash the twrp.zip then flash the kernel.zip then magisk.zip.. no issues here
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MrBrady:
Other than a random reboot, the only issue I've run into a terrific flashing the zip is the dtbo message on startup.

Can I fastboot flash the factory dtbo or is the one that comes with this kernel necessary?
