Would it be possible for you to tweak the proximity sensor sensitivity? It seems that it only disables dt2w if something is flush against the sensor. Even if something is only 1mm away from the sensor, dt2w goes live and suddenly my phone starts popping off with all kinds of craziness in my pocket. This is particularly problematic in places with high humidity.

Alternatively, if you could give me the specific kernel code that toggles the dt2w setting, I could make a Tasker profile that disables the feature when not connected to WiFi, since I usually just use the fingerprint reader when I pull it out of my pocket, and it's usually only in my pocket when I'm outside.

Edit:

Just wanted to add a bit of clarification. Back when I used to run Omni on another device and had the same problem, I asked maxwen the same question, and this was his answer:

Is there something similar I can do with your kernel?

Update:

Did a little digging and found it. The "Tools" section in the kernel app helped lead the way.

Hi [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION],

Any chance that you can add the feature that hides bootloader unlock from SafetyNet? Whould be really nice to use your kernel and also be able to use my banking app.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Darke5tShad0w:
This is already included.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] uzadragos:
Sorry, my mistake. I've already tried it yesterday, but it doesn't seem to work for me. Flashed the kernel, flashed latest magisk & added the banking app to the hide section. What am i missing? Cheers
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Darke5tShad0w:
Do you have xposed?

Currently safety net checking is broken for everyone even "legit" users.

Also you should now take this the magisk thread as its now classed as off topic :)

Is it any configuration file(s) created after flashing ElementalX (that is stored, and is executed during boot, on our devices under /system or so) and after we have selected our desired CPU frequencies in Aroma?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] nezebilo:
boot.img

please i have a bootloop and need boot.img from pie. Im not in a place where i can download the whole factory image to get it.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] vandyman:
Pull the image from your backup or do a factory reset.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] flar2:
The frequencies are set on the kernel command line
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] xFirefly93:
Oh, OK.

I was just thinking on this because I am right now shifting a lot between different kernels for Pixel 2 and just wanted to be sure so it was no left over files stored on my P2 after flashing ElementalX (in case I get into the mood to change to something else just like that.)
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] schlumpfschlaubi:
i changed from Nexus5X to Pixel2 and yesterday i find the same problem.

i have no ntfs support with my usb stick over otg.

I'm on android P with ElementalX-P2-2.04

it would be very nice, if you would fix it.

thx

It's a userspace issue, it needs to be mounted. Although it's kinda scammy, ES File Explorer can probably mount it.

This may be a stretch, and my knowledge of what is possible with kernels is limited, so it may even be impossible.

Do you think it would be possible to merge the code from 9.0 for MAC randomization into your 8.1 kernel? Or, alternatively, if it's already there, how would one toggle the feature? I seem to remember reading somewhere a while back that it was already a feature of Android, just with no ability to be toggled or activated.

Edit:

So, my understanding of how it MAC randomization works pre-9.0 was a little misinformed. It's enabled by default, but only applies to WiFi Scanning. Unlike on 9.0 where it seems to also apply to each connection as well as WiFi Scanning. Also, it seems that it's not nearly as secure as it's claimed to be. So, I guess the best option is to simply turn off WiFi Scanning and only connect to known secure networks, both of which I already do. Alternatively, one could simply toggle WiFi on an as needed basis. Either way seems to be a bit more secure than simply randomizing each connection.

Hi i have my pixel 2 with pie, rooted with magisk and im having the same issues: every time i restart the phone the settings revert to the default one no matter what...

I dont have any greenify app or similar..

Any help?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] xFirefly93:
Did you flash the OTA or dirty flashed 9.0/Pie for your Pixel 2?

I flashed the full rom (android 9) using the factory rom found on google site ... Then twrp, then ElementalX and last mayisk...

Every time i reboot setting wont stick

Which settings doesn't stick? CPU settings?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] murdok83:

thanks
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] flar2:

There is no sound control options for the Pixel 2 line-up.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] korg91:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] Is there any solution to this? I would really like to boost the volume of the Pixel 2. I've tried to install Viper4Android FX, setting all entries Playback gain control and Master gate close to max. Unfortunately the volume boost is still not nearly as powerful as on the Pixel 1 simply with ElementalX default settings.

I'm also willing to buy another dongle if that helps, but that doesn't seem to be the problem (link1, link2). It looks like this actually depends on the phone. This is all pretty confusing to be honest.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] flar2:
I started working on something a few months ago, but haven't been able to spend much time on it.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] korg91:

Did a quick search but never mentioned in this thread it seems -- an update or two ago, whenever I launch the manager app, it would prompt me to allow the app to always run in background. May I ask what caused this change (no such prompt in the past)? Is it necessary? So far I've been denying it each time the app launches.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] flar2:
That pops up if the apply on boot settings fail to run. You should allow it, there will be no consequence to your battery life.

Any chance that you may could change the underclock option from 2035Mhz to the 1958Mhz frequency step (on the Big cluster) on your next build?

Is there also a chance that the 1728Mhz frequency step for the Big cluster could be chosen as a optional frequency step for us that is using your kernel with a optimal dose of underclocking added, chosen and enabled during the Aroma installer procedure?

Don't see this as any kind of demands, just as two optional things from the sacred wishlist.

Which one should i flash prior to flashing this?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] bik2101:
any help? I flashed the kernel in twrp and now I keeps looping me back to twrp

currently on 8.0 (xx.025)

1) booted to bootloader,

2) boot twrp

3) flash kernel zip in twrp v3.2.1

4) reboot bootloader

5) sideload magisk v14.4

6) reboot

only fix to get me out was to reflash the stock boot.img

would like to try this kernel but can't seem to actually boot after installing it
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] joetheshmo:

was editing my post as you posted. so i was able to get out of the loop and retried to the same results

any specific version of twrp i should be using? currently tried with the latest v3.2.1

UPDATE: somehow seems to be the kernel..idk??

tried the exact same steps using the flash kernel and booted up no problem..

did i miss something, maybe i need to be on 8.1 and not on 8.0?

That was not my point to sound aggressive. I just wanted to state, and make clear, that if you really want to get accurate virus scanning reports - then Microsoft own anti-virus toolkits / programs isn't option #1 to use because it is so aggressively tuned / adjusted to judge every "unknown" file type as a virus, even if the case is the totally opposite.

ExFAT Support

Hello - Thanks for such an excellent kernel. I am sorry if I do not know the history, but I believe older devices (like the Nexus 5X) have exFAT support while it seems to be missing from the Pixel2. I am curious if it is possible to add in this feature for the Pixel 2? Thank you much!
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] xFirefly93:
exFAT is only usable for memory cards, which should make it useless on a Pixel 2 (XL).
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] TheMightyGiant:
I hear your point, but it would not be entirely useless. Here is my use case - I have a GoPro where I take out the sdcard and transfer a few files to my phone (I have to switch kernels to read the exFAT).
