Good to know.

And I'm just exploring my options. I get about 6h SOT on exclusively lte and I want to see how much I can get with power save.

Power save with the little cores at 1900mhz is still smooth 99% of the time with only some occasional stutters opening the play store. Still smoother than my previous Note 8 :cool:

Can u use Franco Manager to flash and tweak this Kernel?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] JimSmith94:
Sorry for the delay. I tried the reset you suggested and we finally had some sunny days so I could try it. High brightness mode still never engages, whether the threshold is set to the minimum, maximum, or anywhere in between. Manual mode works every time though. Any other ideas?

As I said earlier, it used to work fine up until a few weeks ago. I am running stock rooted 9/0 with Magisk 17.1. Is there a log I can capture that might show this? I don't have a laptop to catch an adb log outdoors, so should it turn on if I shine a flashlight at the light sensor?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] flar2:
No, it doesn't support all the settings
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] flar2:
The only thing I can guess is something you've done in an attempt to save battery is stopping preventing the service.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] flar2:
I did not see it
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] flar2:
The main reason to install a custom kernel is for features.I can't live without sweep2sleep. Others need sound or color control, or to adjust vibration. Others want to pass safety net without root, etc
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] JimSmith94:
High brightness mode was set to battery optimization on by default. I turned that off but it didn't make any difference.

It shows as rooted in the Superuser section of Magisk Manager but I noticed in my testing that after some amount of time, when I open the app I get a notification that superuser request was granted, implying that it didn't already have it. Shouldn't it retain superuser permissions?

When it has the permission, I can shine a flashlight at the light sensor and high brightness turns on and off as it should. So far it's working, but I assume after some time it will lose superuser and not work again. Am I on to something or am I doing something wrong?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] flar2:
If it's a toast, then it means the service was stopped and just started up again.

I have to update the app to the latest API, then make it a foreground service with notification and it will run all the time.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] JimSmith94:
Yes it was definitely a toast, I couldn't think of the term when I posted. Thanks again for all you do and I'm glad I'm not crazy!

Whats your process when your changing from different kernels?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] def-g:
Before EX. I was going between Flash and Sultan. If going from Sultan to Flash. Used Franko Kernal Manager Auto flash. As Nathan's Flask Kernel doesn't need MAGISK reflashing. From Flash to Sultan. Flash Sultan via Franko don't reboot. Then reflash MAGISK via Magisk Manager them reboot. Works the same in TWRP 3.2.3-1. EX flash den flash MAGISK. NO issues.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Reechings:
Nice trick with flash to sultan. I'll have to try that if I go to Sultan again. Always ran into issues with that switch. Are you liking ex better?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] def-g:
Yes. That's my daily driver. Super fast and great battery life. It's faster connecting to apps and web pages that Flash or Sultan IMO.

The solution is to use sweep up to wake instead. No accidental wakes.

Coming from Nexus 6P and after flashing 2.06 I'm wondering if there is no "configurable" kernel installer, like there was for the Nexus 6P?

Like I have to ressign all settings as the EX App doesn't seem to remember them between stock/elemental x change ... i.e. i/o scheduler set to zen/2048 ...

cheers for clearing up!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Schroeder09:
I wanna know about this one too. I have been noticing worse idle drain since going to Android 9. I'm wondering if the "bm" portion of the wakelock name is "battery monitor" and has something to do with adaptive battery. I'm gonna try toggling it off today and see how my idle drain behaves according to EX kernel manager. I did go ahead and block the wakelock.

Unfortunately, no. Root is required to enable gestures and kernel modifications.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TemporalArc:
Quick question; I get that the vibration strength can't be increased, but is it possible to change the default notification vibration pattern with this (or any) kernel? I am currently using Good Vibrations to change the default pattern to 2x250ms for messaging apps, which (to me) makes the notifications more noticeable than the default pattern. Can I use this kernel to apply similar settings to all notifications?

You could do that, but won't need to reboot. It gets applied instantly.

You would need to create an init.d script to have it run on boot though so you don't have to manually do it every reboot.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] flar2:
The Pixel 3 has an LG screen almost the same as this device. Google implemented HBM, so I was able to look at the code.

The bad news is there is no special hbm code to send to the panel (as with Samsung panels). They simply lowered the maximum backlight brightness and then only allow the max in high brightness mode.

The good news is they also lowered the max brightness on Pixel 2 XL. I can simply increase that, and max brightness will be a tiny bit brighter.

I haven't decided yet whether to make an HBM mode that allows the hardware max, or just enable it all the time. I'll probably make max brightness a special hbm mode, just in case there is a safety reason for the lowered backlight limit.

I REALLY want to use this kernel, but every time I do, I end up with random reboots that progressively get worse over a day or two to the point where I get partial data corruption.

Thanks for your great work [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

Just picked up my Taimen a couple days ago, and the first thing I did was root and install your kernel (and install EXKM of course).

Running buttery smooth, even compared to my old Marlin.

Cheers from Ottawa!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] flar2:
Memory corruption. Several processes crashed due to bad page state.

Are you overclocking? That could cause it. Otherwise it could be hardware (bad memory). You might try underclocking.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MrBrady:
Thanks for looking into it. No overclocking here. I actually don't even have a kernel tuner installed and only went with the default options when installing the kernel through twrp.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] v12xke:
Absolutely. Because EX kernel has to "follow" each monthly update, everyone has been apply it after updating and re-rooting. The most simple method is to drop to recovery, flash with TWRP and reboot. You will not need to re-apply Magisk. If you are using EXKM, you can download the express version and use that, saving a little time from going through the Aroma installer.

Save that file. Next month when the December security update images are out you can use it again until the updated kernel is released a couple of days later. :D
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xFirefly93:
Sorry for going totally off-topic now but I just have to ask one thing that just crossed my mind.. Is it any real notable benefits from underclocking, except from slightly less amount of heat and thermal pressure on the hardware?

Some are saying that UC:ing improves battery life, and some are saying UC:ing destroys battery life because the CPU have to be in a higher power state for a longer amount of time before a task is finished.

Do you have any general input on this subjective "matter" that you perhaps want to share with us?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] flar2:
Moderate underclocking will help your battery a bit. If you have memory or bus hardware defect, it might help that too.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] can i use the new version on 8.1? And can i flash it over latest flash kernel?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] v12xke:
No, and No. See the OP for the correct version for Oreo, and you should not flash EX over another custom kernel. Revert to the stock kernel and then flash EX. EXKM can also easily do that for you.
