I'm not sure if I correctly understand your problem. But I think you are missing the "EX Kernel Manager" App from Play Store...
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] iFalco:
Thx for the reply. I know about kernel manager but there should be a way to interact with elementalX beside the app, correct me if I'm wrong. The fact is I'm confused, do to a little experience with this stuff; I saw some videos of elementalX flash where, for example, immediately after flashing it the user get prompted directly into the kernel management, this doesn't happen to me. I've looked into either every twrp recovery option and system but I don't find a way to interact with the kernel. I have two other problems that may be explanatory: magisk "tap to start SafetyNet check" give "The response is invalid" and if I Install the YouTube Vanced module magisk install it and after reboot, I can see it in modules but I can't actually use it, meaning that I don't see any YouTube vanced app on my phone. I've for sure root access because I could install f-droid to install AdAway.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] iElvis:
You need to install the EX Kernel Manager app. The link is in the OP. That is the method intended by the dev.

Are you able to flash other .zip kernels using ex kernel manager? Or you can flash only .img kernels?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Cablespider:
Concerning Magisk and mods, you'd be better off posting in the respective threads as they have nothing to do with this kernel. I'm certain you'll find answers there..

Thanks a lot man, i was able to get 198 000 Antutu score with default LMK !!
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
with another app, can be another kernel tweaking up but makes little sense IMO, then there are apps that can tweak parts of the kernel or tasker with vaious methodes, either way, an app is involved

not correct, sorry that's it's you again, nothing personal :highfive: :good: there is no NEED to install EXKM, there are various other KTA's that do most if not all off the stuff except dowload, install update etc. but since he is tallking about interatction without further specification that would most probably be someting that any KTA would be able to do with few exceptions. i.d kernel adiutor, FK etc.

before i as well tried to sell flar a few apps but as i understood he is straight forward and totally hones and does not like to sell his app the way that users believe that they have to.

self-evidently many if not all tweeks and be made vie terminal app, tasker intents etc. but terminal emulators as well are apps ;):highfive:
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] maigre:
I don't know for sure. I would have guessed img only because that's what it backs up to, but the EXKM page on the Play Store says that it does zip files, too. There are other apps that backup and restore kernels. You could look at Play Store descriptions to see what they do in this regard. Some, I'm pretty sure, will do zip files.

If you're using EXKM and want to flash a zip, you can probably give it a try. If it needs an img, you'd likely get an error message. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
kernels should usually be flashed through twrp.

while EX may be one of the few kernels with their own app that allows to flash updates from within the app, it stil remains a fact that recover is the usual tool to flash most things.

it's especially not worth several pages of relatively irrelevant discussions.

what you can do if you want to try something un-common, special or new, is to try it out and report back.

i assume that 99% of all new kernel installs are flashed from recovery, hence even if you get kind people to reply, the knowledge base based on experience might be sup-par.

just do it the normal way or try out your thing and let us know what you found out.

keep in mind that all users of this kernel who subscribed to the thread each time com back to read, hence posts should be somehow relevant or contributing something.

within the 2 days you're asking around this topic one can try it out or simply flashed the kernel and an/the app and found his way or come up with something new.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] iElvis:
Well, yeah, of course he doesn't have to install anything and there are certainly plenty of kernel manager apps out there, it just seemed like the most straightforward solution. But some people just like to do things the hard way. :laugh:

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] Are there any nice changes in the kernel of OxygenOS 5.1.11 or can we just flash the 'old' one? My phone just noticed me that the update is ready to install ʘ‿ʘ

USB-C PD charging support?

Any chance of adding the option for enabling USB-C PD (power delivery) fast charging instead of Dash Charging?

I know Dash Charging is a bit faster, but it only works with OP6's magic adaptor and cable. It would be nice to be able to use standard PD power banks and chargers.

Gestures not working with Oxygen OS 5.1.11

Hi [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] gestures on the ElementalX kernel are not working after the update. I am rooted properly and have installed the kernel successfully. It seems that the gestures run once, but are not restored when the system is rebooted.

On Oxygen OS 5.1.9, I resolved this issue by disabling the OnePlus's default Double tap to wake up Gesture.

It's not working since 5.1.11. Will there be a fix? :cowboy:

Edit: I was tinkering with my CPU Boost settings to see whether they reflected after boot and surprisingly they did. I quickly swiped to the gesture screen and was surprised to see that they were awake too. They work perfectly along with CPU boost settings. :)

Maybe changing the CPU Boost settings enforced a higher level flag.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ~Flaw:
can you just directly update to the latest release for oneplus or do you need to do something else to not brick the phone?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Depressed T.Bear:
Lol. Read literally two posts over yours.

They haven't the source code of the 'new' kernel yet, hence your question can't be answered as for now.

Just use the stock kernel until ElementalX gets updated.

But, thanks for reporting the issue (even though I can't really understand why you flash an 5.1.9 based kernel on the 5.1.11 OOS).
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] amangarg_cse:
Reason for flashing kernel.

With due respect, I cannot stand the lock screen vibrations on the OnePlus 6. Also, been using the sweep2sleep feature for so long that any loss of it prompts for an immediate flash. I do take backups though.

If it helps, think about it this way. May be some one coming over to the thread finds that he can enable the gestures to persist on root by a simple tweak that he otherwise wouldn't have thought of.

Cheers :angel:

I flashed ex kernel over 5.1.11 with no issues.

I did the same and no any issue on my side neither :)
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] HerrT:
Okay, next try: I believe you've seen the Aroma installer (an graphical interface where you can change options during the installation).

But unfortunately this is currently not supported by the unofficial TWRP available...
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] iElvis:
And it may never be. If I'm understanding previous discussions on this point in the twrp threads, aroma has essentially been abandoned.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
good you named it, generally all gestures are working flawlessly as does the entire kernel for 24h since i updated my phone.

there may be hidden or rare issues but gestures are not among them and i did not have to change any settings, simply reflashed twrp, kernel and magisk and profit.

for testing and to report back which is the original purpose of developer threads ?

i'm totally sure that devs are interested to get feedback as to how current kernels work on updated software and it indeed works great.

whoever is able to make proper backups or proper troubleshooting can so such things any time he/she likes and revert back and certainly do

play extra-smart and ridicule users who contribute is not making anyone look good, beside that it's simply none of anyones business who tries and flashes what as long as he/she is able to cope with results and provides valuable information to the user base.

thinks positive and depression goes away by itself ;)
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Depressed T.Bear:
Wow, calm down my friend. Did I hit a nerve?

I thanked your for your feedback and just wanted to deliver the message that you have to face unintended things happening when doing what you did.

Testing software is good, but keep in mind the conditions!

I never doubted at any time that you were able to make backups, but I saw many people who didn't and then complain afterwards.

Also I never played extra smart, attacking me this ways only shows me how immature you are... Just calm down and think before you send such an angry-post which leads us nowhere.

But thanks for beeing concerned about depressions - don't have one, it's just a character from Supernatural. And if anyone here would have depressions, she/he would hit you in your face for this 'advice'. Another sign for your great character.

But this is going way too off topic - if you have anything more to say, write me a pm. I won't answer to you here for not cluttering the thread any further.

Hello,

i have a small issue with advanced color control in EXKM.

it was working until I tried another ROM and could not restore my data partition, resulting in a new start by flashing OOS 5.1.9 via fastboot. then installed TWRP, magisk v16, and the elemental 1.14.

I tried also elementalX 1.15 and it still does not work.

High contrast does work and is reboot persistent.

Please help me answer the questions

If the default setting is the best, what is the benefit of an ex manager for a normal user like me ?

I almost only use Ex manager to adjust the volume of the headset And other options I do not use because I do not understand it better for battery life or to do things worse

I hope you help me answer the questions thank you !
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] flar2:
That's what it's used for. You don't need to tweak everything. The app does all kinds of things beyond tweaking for battery.

I use it for kernel backup and restore, easy flashing of kernels, sweep up to wake, sweep to sleep and setting vibration lower for typing.

I don't think there's ever been an EX Kernel for Cyanogen/LOS. I could be wrong, but I've been using flar2's stuff since before it was ElementalX (the HTC One X days). People always ask, and I've never seen him do it.

I ran my Nexus 5X with LOS 15.1 and EX kernel for some time without issues. So why do we need a separate LOS version of the kernel? Guarantees from flar2?

No need if it just works. On the N5X livedisplay was supported on EX kernel and thats the only thing i can think of in a kernel that is of interest when running lineageos.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] flar2:
I released a lineageos kernel briefly for the OP3 and OP5, but it became too difficult to maintain. On a couple other devices, the stock kernel worked on lineage.

I'm not planning a lineage kernel for this device.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
yes cculd be ;). some years (api life cycles they were compatible and during others they were not. last year was the first year that i absolutely zero days able to us EXK on a nexus device with LOS based rom installed.

i have been using only stock + xposed or LOS/CM based roms for years and most of the time had EXK running with a few periods of incompatibility as mentioned above.

this applies to the years from 2013 to 2016 and each and every nexus device since then.

i had much bigger issues to get a decent kernel for the notes 1-6 than for LOS based roms on nexi and later OP.

BTW flar is not building that long for OP devices while not long is compared to all the years he mostly built for htc and nexi ;) after all i think it's the 3 year now with OP build, there was certainly no EXK for OP2 and OPO
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] iElvis:
Well, Nexus devices are a special case obviously (as flar2 noted above) since they shipped with vanilla android. I was thinking more in terms of phone with non-vanilla OSs that had Cyanogen/LOS roms. But, he has spoken here, so this is academic for the OP6.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
you did not read my post, i 90% am and was on LOS/CM based roms, only time i was on vanilla was the first 2-3 months after release waiting for CM/LOS, RR and the likes and i have been on EX at 90% of times on CM/LOS based roms.

this measn:

EXK has usually and most of the times been working flawlessly on LOS/CM roms, at times there were 2 variants and at times it was compatible out of the box.

nexus devices for EX are nothing special because EX over the years was mainly built for Nexus devices and some HTC devices.

He joined the OP community only 2-3 years ago, i thing the OP3/3T were first for EX, before that it was all nexus and HTC while

there might have been some stray-off i'm not aware off but that was mostly it.

i know quite well because it's my standard kernel since 2012/13

all this lengthy and still not lengthy enough exchange is about your statement saying that EX has not been working for CM/LOS roms most of the times and that is, as you stated as a "could be wrong" statement exactly that, wrong.

i just wanted to express that more softly but the result was that i had to write another post, hence in clear text: WRONG, period.

Hey, I don't know if this is related in here, but after doing some stuff with vibration in the EXKernel Manager, I uninstalled Elemental X Kernel and restored the boot image from 5.1.11.

After that I noticed some lagging while typing on Gboard, which often results in misspelling words, even with vibration turned off. Any help? I tried rebooting and wiped cache and also data from gboard.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] RusherDude:
Hey flar2, a doubt.

When flashing this, since there's no recovery partition and all stuff is on the ramdisk, can there be conflitcs with other modifications such as Magisk or Xposed? Any recommended flashing order to evade them?

Thanks!
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
- this kernel is using any kernel method that injects the kernel into existing boot partition

there are no conflicts while it's you should flash magisk, after the kernel but you won't have to flash magisk after each kernel update, only

IF you HAVE TO flash magisk because you're NOT YET or NOT ANYMORE rooted, root, (i.e magisk or SSU) has to be flashed after the kernel.

whenever you flash a rom or anything that overwrites the kernel (boot.img/boot partitiion) you have to flash the kernel again

root installer needs root, hence that answers the question. if you're rooted you can flash (update) the kernel dirty and that's it else you have to root thereafter as mentioned above and only then can you install and use the xposed installer.

FWIW i use all the stuff you mentioned including Xposed, hence you can rely on the information as working.

last but not least if you want to address one specific user ONLY to answer your question i'd recommend to use PM feature. i'm quite sure that flar does not use xposed for example, hence there are other recipients for the question who can reply better from own experience.

and in addtion to that your questions have all been answered in this very thread before, using the search feature is recommended before posting,

in fact according to this post by forum principals:

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6/development/temp-t3774510

it's mandatory

;)
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] RusherDude:
What I wanted to know if THIS KERNEL SPECIALLY has any requirement for OnePlus 6 that others don't have. I think it's logical to post it on this thread then. He specifies in the OP "For maximum compatibility with all ROMs, ElementalX uses your existing ramdisk." thus maybe something was different. Maybe it was not overwriting the entire boot partition as he says that he mantains ramdisk and thus root and xposed wouldn't be deleted, but you're claiming so. A/B phones are a chaos right now to find answers about these questions. For example, when flashing via the APP (with root), what I understanded you called dirty flash, no reflash of _root_ is needed? the method the app uses to flash it isn't the same one that twrp uses? where is that explained in detail? If as flar2 says the phone respects the ramdisk, in no scenario should root or xposed have to be reflashed after flashing the kernel (via TWRP or app), because if the ramdisk is respected the mods should survive. Something doesn't make sense, your first sentence is confusing and maybe I didn't understand it correctly.

But on the Magisk thread, the OP clearly states "If you plan to flash a custom kernel, flash it AFTER installing Magisk". You state that it has to be flashed before Magisk instead. It's because this is an A/B partitions phone or somethings different?

EDIT: The correct order is indeed ROM > TWRP > reboot recovery > Kernel > Magisk > (Xposed). (Not sure if reflashing Magisk after xposed will be needed). I have no idea why the Magisk dev says that kernels have to be flashed after magisk, I think that magisk and xposed modify not only ramdisk but part of the kernel so it would get wiped :S

About the "flar", If I said flar2 but didn't @ him is because this is his thread, he'd be noticed anyway. I don't agree at all with the "if you wanna address an user, a pm is better". In fact, is well know on xda that a doubt posted and answered is BETTER than a pm because it can help other people too, unlike a pm.

Thanks.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
i don't entirely understand your point, i answered all the questions and linked to more information and narrowing your reply down to the point you confirm what i said, kernel before magisk which is fact and has been that way for a long time now, nothing to do with a/b

what a/b makes different is that there is no recovery and one has to flash twrp again after each boot.img flash or anything that OVERWRiTES the boot image.

also i said that EX in injected and does not overwrite the boot image which is why you won't loose root by flashing the kernel.

some it feels like a simple thanks or ok would have been sufficient, nothing new or contradictory in your post to what i said and that the rom has to be flashed first and xposed last was neither the question nor is it a question at all, it's self-evident ;)

if you dislike the entire set of facts i can try to remember and simply post a link with a search result or to threads and posts with the answer without doing all the writing and thinking to get the feel that it was in vain.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] flar2:
Should be no issues. Install Magisk and then ElementalX. After that, EX will keep root whenever there are updates.

I would suggest not installing TWRP, just fastboot boot it when needed.
