If you can help me, I have a 2xl pixel and I have always installed any elemental rom x kernel and it has never given me any problem, the problem that has arisen is that when I flash the kernel a few minutes later the phone restarts itself and It starts until another minutes pass and it restarts, I have android 10 and downloaded and flashed several times elemenal 3.20, and I can't know why, the only thing that occurs to me is that they changed the motherboard and since then with this kernel That happens to me, with other kernels it does not happen to me only with this one, I appreciate if someone could help me

I reccomend that you flash the stock boot.img first. then installl the EXKM app, if you havn't done so allready. Then dl and fllash the latest EX kernel from the EX KM app and reboot. See if that works. Otherwise send in a logcat and maybe @flar2 can give you further input.

Yesterday I flashed my P3300 with WM6 ROM from xda-developers site. Now its showing different IMEI, not the original one, is there any way i can change this IMEI no? is there any software to do this ? :(

Please help me with this, :(
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] mytrinity:
IMEI change?

Hi,

if you dial *#06# you get a different IMEI then is written on the label inside?

I don't believe that a ROM from xda-developers will change the IMEI from your phone.

Probably you bought a second hand phone where the IMEI already was changed on.

Note that it is illegal in most countries to change the IMEI number of a phone.

Regards,

Frans
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] shakeen:
No this is original phone i bought in Dubai duty free, when I was contacting HTC support for asking WM6 ROM from them, they asked my IEMI number, so I send the original one which match with label.

yesterday I ran Artemis_USPL software before I run the ROM. I this this USPL is to unclock CID on the phone, what you think does this USPL software change this IEMI #.....

Artemis USPL manual says that this software will make temporary SuperCID on the device, do you have any idea what that means, doest it means device will go back to its orginal CID later or what ?
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] mytrinity:
CID / SIM unlock / IMEI change

Hi,

CID-unlock for Artemis is temporary, it fools the update-program by reporting once that the phone is superCID. So you can flash any Artemis-ROM on it, regardless of CID-lock.

SIM-unlock is not yet available for free for Artemis: you have to pay for it. This makes it possible to use SIMcards of other providers in it.

IMEI change: illegal acitvity. It is used to make blocked phones (mostly stolen phones) usuable again.

There are plenty of post regarding above issues on xda-developers, just search and read...

Regards,

mytrinity

Is the EX Kernel Manager not compatible with the kernel yet?

I open the app and theres only Elemental X, CPU Times, Battery Monitor, Settings and About in the left sidebar.

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app but still those 5 items only.

EDIT:

Ok, I flashed stock boot, then Magisk, then EX kernel, all via the TWRP 3.1.1 beta.

Found out I lost root.

Reboot to TWRP, found out I lost TWRP.

Man! This Pixel 2 is hard to figure out.

Still don't understand the rules and order of flashing stuff on it.

EDIT2:

Went and go through the steps of fastbooting TWRP and installing TWRP again.

Then installed Magisk via the installed TWRP and now I'm stuck at the boot logo G with the animating line.

EDIT3:

Ok, wiped caches via TWRP and I got back into the OS!

Have root and the EX Kernel Manager is behaving as usual.

Flashing stuff just got harder.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] redsmith:
Is the download page correctly labeled? It says the kernel is for the Pixel sailfish, not walleye.

Also, is it possible to just flash the .img via fastboot? Wouldn't like to install TWRP at the moment.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] flar2:
AndroidFileHost doesn't have a page for walleye

You don't need to install TWRP, just fastboot boot TWRP and then install the zip.

Is there a way to install w/ out TWRP?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] flar2:

There is no need to install TWRP on this device, it's better if you just boot it.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] 530farm:
Okay. Do you know what order I should do if just booting twrp, and wanting to root via magisk?

Would I flash the kernel or magisk.zip first?

I flashed the kernel first, and then Magisk 14.5. Everything is working just fine.

EDIT: After trying to do a hard reset, "Install logs has been saved..." popped up but again, I can't click OK or anything...

EDIT2: I flashed TWRP (instead of booting it via fastboot) and tried again and it went fine. Weird.

Anyone's used custom color profiles with the kernel for the pixel 2 (maybe someone with a colorimeter even) ?

The screen on my Pixel 2 - stock, the yellows are quite prominent, whites look yellowish. My two year old iPhone , OnePlus 5T, Samsung S8+ all display much better clearer whites.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Flyview:
Yes, I adjust the colors. On mine the screen seems to be too green, so I reduced the green to 240. Every screen will be different.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] nithin1992:
Yeah, generally they are, but the whites on this one are just terrible and I'm wondering if it's just me. I can see many people having the same issue once I google'd for it. I'm thinking of RMA'ing it once and see if I get a better panel [not sure if they're all yellowish] before I tweak the colors myself.

Been talking with him a little lately, but between work, my new found crypto addiction (basically just me losing a **** ton of money!!!), and my Blu-ray ripping/hoarding addiction, it is hard to find time. Planning on dabbling at least though. Maybe at some point me an G can sit down and figure out all the device trees to get Slim going, and I might would have time to maintain it w/ a few builds here and there. Probably not daily builds like I was doing before, but we'll see. I feel a little lost with Android now. Not sure if you know or not, but I switched over to Iphone for a year. Just bought a Pixel 2 this past Christmas. Feel like so much **** has changed!!!

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

I have been running stock kernel since the February security update (for a month), and the phone has not crashed at all. Based on this observation, and by process of elimination, I can only conclude that there were some issues with ElementalX 1.02 & 1.03 that were conflicting with my phone. I don't know if the issue will reappear when I install ElementalX 1.05 in March, but what I can say is there is no useful logs that can be used to troubleshoot why the phone freezes up besides trials and errors.

To quick summarize the things I have tried:

Didn't notice any issue when using 1.01 (time span: 1/3~1/16, about 14 days)

Issue first appeared in 1.02 (Cannot reproduce the freeze-up 100%)

Reverted back to stock kernel (January security update), didn't notice any issue

Phone was fine for 9 days on 1.03, but the issues reappeared afterwards

Factory reset the phone, installed 1.03. Issue was still persistent

Running stock kernel (February security update) for a month, no issues

One important thing to note is that there is an assumption that there is no fundamental flaw in the stock kernel (January security update). If there were a stability issue with the stock kernel (January security update), then I must be lucky not experiencing any freeze-ups, given that the phone was fine for 9 days on 1.03, then it started freezing up again.

Hopefully this finding can be useful for some people.

P.S. I really miss the swipe to sleep feature

I just want to confirm about about CPU temperature things.

I am on P DP1 with your ElementalX kernal. Also I have your EX Kernel Manager. But I found out that the setting about msm_thermal, core_control and vdd_restriction were disabled in your kernel. Is there any harm about that? Should I leave untouched or can I configure it? I was worrying about the thermal. :D

More importantly, thanks for the great kernel and also the app is nice.

[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] :
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] I spent time thinking about the pros & cons of distributing the kernel boot image.

pros:

- You bundle the ramdisk and hence limit variations that can come in due to tweaks in currently installed ramdisk

- You remove the dependency on custom recovery like TWRP

- Magisk can patch the image and one can flash a patched boot image without requiring custom recovery to flash magisk

cons:

- Having a boot image will bundle the ramdisk too. This might prevent picking up the latest changes from a working installation

It is my humble request to consider releasing you awesome kernel as a boot image. Love to hear if there are counter arguments, I get to learn.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] flar2:
That's a good summary. Ultimately I don't release the boot.img because it takes time, and I just don't have enough of it (I would have to adjust my scripts and upload another thing, which takes a long time on my crappy internet - 0.6mbps upload and repeated fails :(). If someone wants to create the boot.img using stock ramdisk, they can feel free to post a link.

High battery drain during idle/screen off is because of nasty CPU leeching wakelocks.

Have you tried with Greenify, and Xposed (+the Amplify application addon) so you can put apps in "sleep mode", and restricting both partial wakelocks and all those alarms that apps is sending out?
