So no problems. The difference is that I didn't flash stock boot.img this time around. I just flashed the new one over top. The first boot I had problems with volume rocker but worked itself out. Rebooted to see if it would stick and it seems so. Here's the first logcat that had volume problems:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MkhvezckKEKZ1AqTDLAhmtzWPZqdEcBr/view?usp=drivesdk

I also tried pulling pstore but there's nothing
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
Interesting. you should see if over a few reboots ~ there are any more inconsistencies / let me know.

I'll have a look at your log later on, when I'm home... thanks man!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Craz Basics:
No, thank you.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
There is no play store bug (that I'm aware of, nor can I fix userspace apps). That may have happened while you had play store open, but it probably wasn't the cause (if you check the contents of /sys/fs/pstore it may still contain the crash logs. If so, send them to me ~ and I can probably tell you what caused the crash).

User "Craz basics" and I were talking about "pstore" in the linux kernel (a couple of dayz ago and today)... "Pstore" is a mechanism within the kernel ~ it's persistent storage, where dumps/logs for kernel panics go (if/when the kernel crashes)... Please avoid using the term "pstore" when talking about the Google Playstore app ~ mixing the terms is confusing...

Today's build has fixes and it's very possible that it may fix the crash you observed. (it depends on what the cause was, which I don't know ~ but there are numerous fixes in the build, including one to do with the touchscreen)...

idk, but If you can produce those /sys/fs/pstore files ~ that could be helpful, if the crash happened due to something else (as in, I'd really like to fix any and all issues ~ especially those I cannot reproduce!)...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AllusionPDX:
I'm at my girlfriends over the weekend. I'll get home later today reinstall the kernel and try and reproduce the issue and get you the logs :)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spr33:
I came to use the kernel today after spending some time using stock/other kernels after having a bootloop somewhere down the line with a previous build which resulted in my phone displaying the 'No command' screen with the Andy figure lying on his back with a red exclamation sign above him.

I installed by doing the following: flashed back to stock boot image, installed the kernel then Magisk. Everything went OK, booted fine but then I tried to apply the boostbox command in the terminal and received the messages that a previous poster had said about so I read some more and it turns out that it should be due to installing the kernel before Magisk. So back I went and installed stock boot.img then installed Magisk then the kernel. I have received another bootloop followed again by the 'No command screen'. This has only ever happened with this kernel and no others (4+ other kernels tested) and was wondering what could cause this to happen? When it does, I have to flash the factory image to get the phone up and running again.

Any pointers welcomed.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
sounds good. keep me posted.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
gimme a couple of hours, trying to get my work day finished up...

off hand, just to verify; you're on android Pie and using it's stock boot.img, not the 8.1 boot.img on the OP, correct?

i do know the error that you speak of, as i have seen it once, about 7-8 months ago. but I've never had that happen since...

anyway, i gotta get back to it (work), but I'll be online a bit later, maybe we can get to the bottom of this, then...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] spr33:
Yup, stock Pie using the stock boot.img. Happy to help resolve it :)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
cool. I'll check in a bit later on.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Craz Basics:
I got it to freeze again. I grabbed a logcat as well. I also found that when pulling pstore via adb, it doesn't pull the file inside for some reason, I got the file tho.

Pstore: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1W7ND5YGEwzrrlorVS7-ZMpUExfhWXp6n/view?usp=drivesdk

Logcat: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1n4L5KHLSoSO51ToDXq7llrLPH9Zr9BFY/view?usp=drivesdk
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
I'll have a closer look at all this when I'm home. But In the meantime, can you please generate a full bug report? (I did see something in your logcat that will require more specific information than logcat can provide me.).

You can generate a full bug report via;

Settings App->System->Advanced->Developer Settings->Take Bug Report

It'll take a minute or three to generate... email it to yourself && add it to your google drive && point me to it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Craz Basics:
Sure, however, I think I have an idea about it.

So I think this is govorner related... When I try to change the volume, the rocker seems unresponsive... But if you wait like 15 seconds, it registers. So, I changed the govorner to performance, and I gave it a minute to catch up, and boom. Everything is fine (However performance govorner isn't really ideal for everyday use) You said earlier that 3.x series is more demanding on hardware, and I'm thinking for some reason schedutil is somehow not handling it right (for me only?? I don't understand.)

I'm gonna keep experimenting with it.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
Nope. Schedutil is likely not the cause. I don't really need you to keep experimenting with it ~ what I actually need is that full bug report that I asked for; it *will* contain the information that I'm after (there is no substitute; guessing games, experimentation will not help me solve the issue, in the slightest).
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Craz Basics:
I said I'd get it to you

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bygh6W_e2Fo5cUd3QXIyUVpiWWItOFFjUEZ3RVZiQ0FDcmNF/view?usp=drivesdk

I let the phone sit for a couple minutes and volume started working again. While on Schedutil. It wouldn't work when I first booted (except like the first 5 seconds)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
thanks, mate! ... my tone probably came off wrong on my last comment (wasn't trying to be pushy - just pointing out that I saw something that looks like it may be the culprit, but the bug report will shed more light on that ~ So there's no point in guessing/experimenting, is all.)

EDIT: btw, good job on keeping these files private / request permissions ~ with full bug reports, in particular ~ you shouldn't post them randomly, as they can contain personal info... I guess the only downside is having to wait until I've been granted access ;)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Craz Basics:
No worries, and you can see it now. Honestly not even meaning to, pretty annoyed by it lol.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
[MENTION=6801459]Craz Basics[/MENTION]

Cool, I just got it (bug report / access)~ This will probably take some time to go through, so don't expect an immediate answer or fix... But this should be extremely helpful in getting to the bottom of the issues that you're hitting, that I can't reproduce... thanks!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Craz Basics:
Sure, thank you
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TheLusciousLucas:
Last two 3.8.1 builds (from today & a few days ago), from my experience, seem to be working fine on 8.1 (w/July security update). I'm haven't noticed any issues on my phone.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
thanks for sharing.. I'm glad that for those still on 8.1, that it's been good... yeah, for the most part things are working well... it just seems to be the odd device, where there is an issue. (like in user 'Crazy Basics' case, which I'll hopefully be able to track down and fix. working on it) ...

for me, after resolving the initial problems / critical bugs on Pie builds - I haven't had any real problems (although, there are things to merge in, a few fixes I'm working on or aware of, etc)... I haven't had any issues with the volume rocker and no ANRs, FCs, freezes, kernel panics, or any of that jazz...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Craz Basics:
I'm on stock rooted for now
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] almightysiman:
Hi nine,sorry to bother you at work.I still have error message when I ran boostbox script as show below.

I am on latest exns_eas_v3.8.1p_bca050b build and I flash magisk first then the kernel.

As I recall,exns_eas_v3.8.1p_b325e69 build is working alright.Take your time to fix it,Thanks!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
I'll fix it shortly, let u know when i have && you can test and report back to verify it's working OK...cool?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
i figured as much...

i am making a bit of progress getting through your bug report (it's definitely useful). and resolving your issues is very high priority..

when i have an update, questions and/or things that i may get you to try - I'll let u know... coool?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Craz Basics:
Sure, thanks for taking your time man. No rush
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] almightysiman:
OK,Thanks man!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AllusionPDX:
Well everything minus the boostbox script(It doesnt exist for me from what I can tell) is working just fine, I tried to run it in terminal emulator it said it didnt exist so i opened a file manager checked and nothing was there so Ill just let it be till you do your next upload
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
no worries, I will fix that tomorrow && not running the script isn't going to cause you issues.

I think when I get home tomorrow from work - I'm going to try and kill using the boostbox script anyway.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AllusionPDX:
I actually ended up with a pretty serious crash soon after I posted that. So I noticed I had no sound(a common issue when messing with exkm and increasing digital headphone volume that seems to cause issues randomly with other kernels) So I removed EXKM, then after that it had an odd intermittent crash that didn't send the phone to restart, its like the screen and all buttons just completely stopped working, a complete device freeze which requires a hard reset, that happened twice in a row(it doesn't care if screen is off, i tried to just leave it with screen off and the screen wouldnt even load up after said crash happened)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
collect a bug report, if you don't mind ( settings app, under developer settings "take bug report" )... That would be good. you could put it on google drive and give me premission to accesss it (vs. making it public)

failing that; you could email it me.

collecting /sys/fs/pstore files would be great too.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Craz Basics:
Did the screen get really bright when it crashed??
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AllusionPDX:
Yes it did when the screen was on when it crashed. looks like you have the same issue lol
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Craz Basics:
Yikes. I'm glad it's not just me tho (maybe a lil selfish, but you know?)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
all the more reason to get bug report + pstore files to me.... There may be some correlations / similarities to find and also differences between my device / devices that don't have issues vs. your devices
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AllusionPDX:
To be honest I've been trying it crashes before I can even finish it :/
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
flash the stock boot.img then do it ~ the files I'm most interested in from the bug report don't require that you be running my kernel. ~ they have already been collected/saved to disk..

same goes for the pstore stuff (assuming it created/saved the dumps). You'll probably have to copy the pstore files to your sdcard to be able to do anything with them.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Craz Basics:
Yeah, you can't pull them via adb... But you can use shell:

adb shell
su
cp /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops /sdcard(/console-ramoops)

I put the "(/console-ramoops)" in parentheses because I forget if you need it or not on the last directory
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AllusionPDX:
I pmd him the link
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
yup. got it. I'll dig into it tomorrow, as its getting late.. you and [MENTION=6801459]Craz Basics[/MENTION] have both been extremely helpful; where i can't reproduce the problem - i need help like this.

I've been speculating for a long time about why some pixels have issues with my v3.x kernel (?), while many don't. so with the reports ~ i should be able to get a lot of those questions answered now...

that said, I'll probably need a day or two to go through, organize and make sense of everything.... and of course figure out what i need to do! but like i said to Craz; high priority.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AllusionPDX:
If that bug report doesn't show enough I'll reinstall the kernel and crash it a few times on purpose and run it again for you
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bbender716:
I get a 404 error. Sorry!
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
Probably will take you up on that (once I have something for you to test).

fixed.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jmgib:
So I seem to be experiencing the same issue as Allusion where the screen/display appears to completely freeze up requiring a reboot. The device itself still works as I'm able to get to an adb shell.

I pulled a bugreport using ADB which I've uploaded. Hopefully it helps.

Bugreport
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
thanks, should be useful... I'm starting to get a better picture of what's happening (was looking thru the other two on my lunch, but still a ton to go through...

got it now.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Craz Basics:
Any updates? Obviously not expecting a fix soon but some insight to what's happening would be nice (if you know yet)
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
as i said yesterday; it'll take me a day or two to get through everything (i did actually mean that. lol) - there is a lot to go through and make sense of. it's non-trivial.

at this point, what i do know; you guys are getting ANRs, that never happen on my device... i haven't found the cause, but; it also appears that not all pixels are the same (but to what extent, i don't know yet, as reviewing your bug reports on my phone, while i'm at work, basically sucks - i really need to be in front of my computer, so that i can use a keyboard, the commandline, etc)...

i'll probably do a bit tonight, but only a bit. i dont expect to be home until 9-10pm && i have to be out the door tomorrow by 6am... so it's not like that gives me a whole lot of time, if i plan on eating, showering and unwinding before sleep / another long day... tomorrow night, I should have nore time...

anyway, I will let you know, when i have more details... but yeah, like i said: it'll be a day or two.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Craz Basics:
No hurry, thanks
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dark2099:
So I think I had mentioned this, but I'll put it out there again, using Root Explorer, manually executed the script "init.exnoshadez.rc" script in my root folder, not "/system", and then ran the boostbox script via adb shell, didn't get any output, so assumed it executed properly. That was roughly 33 hours ago, and haven't had any issues at all. I was having similar issues in terms of crashing/freezing as AllusionPDX had, so can deff do a restart and get logs if you want.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
that seems odd to me, but thanks for mentioning it...

odd because; my init if isn't a shell script. although, android's init does have a lot of shell-isms to it - most of what it does wouldn't work, when executed as a script (although, yeah, you can execute it()

I'd be curious, if across reboots it's still fine? (with and/or without doing what you did)...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
couldn't hurry, even if/though I'd like to... but i appreciate the patience. so thanks.. btw, now that i have a minute... in case i wasn't clear earlier;

ANR = Application Not Responsive

can indicate a few different things. e.g: dead lock, lock contention, an app doing too much work in it's main thread, etc... At first glance, across bug reports the ANRs seemed to be inconsistent && often an ANR isn't a smoking gun anyway... you guys are getting lock contention and a dead lock, but i haven't determined the cause yet..

on the part about not all pixels being the same; I'll need to verify things conclusively, first - but i saw a few bits that look different than my device, as in; maybe there was a revision to the hardware, firmware or something like that. (it's not a Marlin vs. Sailfish situation).

anyway, I'll be sitting down for a bit now, to go through the bug reports. start organizing all of the info I'm after, do some comparisons, analysis.... no idea if you looked at the bug report zip contents, but there is a lot there! lol... so it'll take a few stabs at getting thru it.... time consuming...
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] AllusionPDX:
I have a vzw pixel if that helps at all. Could be that.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Craz Basics:
I'd say no as mine's not from Verizon and has the same problems
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
I don't really think it's carrier specific issue (with maybe an exception).

that said, I did already find/fix one issue, revealed in your bug reports. (it could very well be a factor with your ANRs, but i doubt it's the direct cause ~ so no point in posting a build to test just yet).... Today, I've only had time on my lunch to fix the one found issue + push the fix onto my device..

Later when I get home, I should have much more time to dig in a bit deeper. See what I can come up with.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Craz Basics:
What's this one issue?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dark2099:
I'll try tonight when I get home from work, but as of right now 2+ days no issues. Is there a way via terminal emulator I can double check the boostbox script is running?
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
Yeah do that, as i am curious about this.

don't worry about the boostbox script and whether or not it's working (it would return errors if it didn't work)~ i'm going to be getting rid of that script.... and tbh; its about the last thing that I am concerned with right now ~ I'm more interested to know if any instability comes back after several reboots....

I find it very interesting/peculiar that you went from having the instability to not having it at all...

[MENTION=7810360]nine7nine[/MENTION]

Last time I tried the 3.x branch was back in May and I've had freezes as well.

That time around you said you tested it with a friend's device and he had to fully wipe his phone to gain the wanted stability. Don't know if it's the same issue though. I haven't tried the 3.x one since then.

Not sure if this was posted, but think I read about it, volume rocket became unresponsive last night, reboot and then ran into the screen brightness jumping and system freezing. Dirty flashed the Pie system image, back to 2.8.2. Was also going to ask about the issues from needing to do a clean wipe as the post above me did. I'll have time Sunday to do some trouble shooting for you if needed.
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Craz Basics:
Has anyone tried a factory reset after flashing 3.8.x?

Edit: No luck, tried myself
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Craz Basics:
Anything new??
[Google Pixel XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
Okay, So I have (unfortunate) news;

After some careful thought and consideration, I've decided that (at least for now);

I will no longer be providing builds, and most likely not participating in this community anymore. I will be still developing my kernel, but essentially only for myself and a few close / local friends (it's likely that binaries/builds will still appear on my github, but that's about it. absolutely no support from me, going forward).... There are a number of reasons for this and I will try to outline them a bit (in no particular order), so you may understand;

- On average, I'm receiving a crazy amount of PMs on XDA every week (like clockwork). Most of these are from people wanting me to solve their own problems (often other devices, kernels, etc that I know very little about / don't have the time to look into), resolving conflicts (that I know nothing about), compiler issues (that aren't my problem), they want/expect help with tools that I'm not the author of, etc ~ when I explain to them that they need to contact the correct the author, RTM and/or in situations relating to kernels ~ that I'm not really in any position to help them ~ in return; 9/10 people are just absolute jerks about it.... This isn't sustainable, it's extremely frustrating && demotivating (as I do try to help when I can) and it's getting to the point where I pretty much hate XDA.

- Being as I've had a number of bad interactions with people on XDA, which has caused me enough stress/aggravation, I seriously question if XDA is really a community that I want to part of (at this point, I pretty much don't think that it is.).

- i've also become extremely busy at work, as of late and will continue to be for a while anyway.... this is a bit of a problem right now (if I'm to be supporting builds)... and actual paid work takes priority over this, no question...

- I have little to no motivation to provide monthly builds, support users, debugging their issues (especially, the issues that I can't reproduce) and at this point, putting in endless hours of my time (that I don't have) on this kind of thing makes very little sense... It may have been different, if I had been able to generate some income somehow to justify my time invested, possibly had more free time, etc... But this kind of thing has never worked out / it's come to a point where it just really isn't worth the hassle anymore. (and hasn't been for a long time).

- given all of the above, i'm unhappy - and I need to fix that.

So all things considered (+ some other factors not mentioned), I'm taking a break from all of this.

Sorry to drop this on you guys, but it is what it is... I may pick back up on public builds/support in a month or two ~ but I also might not, idk yet...

Your first point was exactly why I left and created a new account. I got sick of it back in the Sammy days. All day everyday people complaining about things that had nothing to do with me. My last response was "No I can't help you, have a nice day". I sir understand completely.
