Does this kernel have Linux kernel upstream merged? If yes, which mainline Linux kernel version is merged?

Search, senior, search..
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Phoenix Wright:
He says official GCC, so you can just use this to compile for ARM64 and ARM (you need both).

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] harri077:
Hey guys.

Thanks for the kernel, so far so good but I've noticed apps are being killed only after 10 mins or so then I need to reload them. I came from Android 8 and now just flashed Liquid Rom based off Android 9.

Is the aggressive ram management part of Android 9 or is that something this kernel is doing?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Benjamin_L:
Try caesium or kirisakura kernel. They have different ram optimizations. Might work for you. Sorry for sending people somewhere else!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] drothenberger:
The latest version of Caesium has adopted SimpleLMK. I had the same problems with apps being killed quickly with it. Kirisakura doesn't have it, though, and uses the standard LMK.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Benjamin_L:
I was talking about that https://xdaforums.com/pixel-2-xl/development/17-11-2017-kiriskura-kernel-1-0-0-t3706286/post78000697 flash (and I think caesium) and kirisakura (obviously ;)) adopted this
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] drothenberger:
Kirisakura has taken some changes from Sultan, but not SimpleLMK. The latest release of Caesium does include SimpleLMK.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] harri077:
What is simple LMK? Is that what causes the aggressive app killing? So should I use Kirisakura kernel for better ram management?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] drothenberger:
SimpleLMK is a low memory killer driver written by Sultan to improve memory management. It works well for some people, but for me, it seemed like apps were getting killed pretty aggressively after a few days. Kirisakura does not include SimpleLMK but instead uses the standard Android LMK and it appears to work better for me. Your mileage may vary.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] :
On the Pixel 3 Google has doubled zram from 512M to 1024M and set the swapiness from 60 to 100. I assume that you are not happy with this decision but wouldn't it be a small advantage for our device ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bobbarker2:
ZRAM and swapiness are indirectly related to LMK as they affect the way ram is used but, they are not a part of the subsystem itself.

And even though the specs for the 3 are very similar to the 2, it's still different hardware, so comparing kernel tunables between the two devices is apples and oranges.

Hi Team,

I'm not sure why but seems like Network Signal Guru is not working for me as it says no enforcing features eventhough i have rooted the phone. It works previously using this kernel and continue working and suddenly after I restart the phone, it doesn't work anymore today. Tried uninstall and reinstall giving the same thing.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Ygor Cortes:
Hey guys. Does this kernel support kcal nowadays? Thanks already!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] agplugged:
I was just wondering about that myself, but using any kernel auditor showed me it doesn't support any kcal changes... If I'm wrong I'll be happy to know, myself. But if I'm right, maybe put it in as a request for the dev?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xFirefly93:
Sultan won't add KCAL control because, according to him, the code isn't "particularly clean".

You mean you had to reflash magisk after booting to regain root? I've lost root too and I'm not sure what to do, noob here, sorry for trivial questions
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] neekless:
Sultan's kernel doesn't retain magisk. You have to flash magisk after his kernel.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Surowica:
thank you so much for the response.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Surowica:

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mistermagic87:
A question to add to this, and I'm sorry if I missed it after doing a search through the thread, I didn't find a concrete straight answer and I want to be sure.

I'm new to trying out custom kernels on this device as I've kept it stock the majority of the time. I have a question regarding the following DTBO information on the OP:

If I decide I want to revert back to stock Kernel or flash another Kernel, should I still keep the same DTBO that was installed with this Kernel? I understand the step above says not to flash another one, is that just referring to not flashing another custom DTBO when using third-party custom Kernels? or that you should not reflash ANY DTBO.img file - stock included?

Also, if I decide to flash another custom Kernel that might have one of these files I just skip it like the instructions above say to? Can someone explain what this does? I've read about people getting an error that shows: "There's an internal problem with your device" - Does this just fix that, or is it just something you have to live with once you flash a custom Kernel?

Thanks ahead of time for any answers.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
You don't need to worry about the dtbo whatsoever. I've used all the kernels available to the P2XL, and have never needed it, neither will you. That error you were speaking of was common for a while, and presented zero issues with functionality. The kernel Devs have since rectified it, and do not patch the dtbo anymore. So, pick your kernel and flash away :good::good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] deepakdavidster@gmail.com:
Can we expect the kernel with Feb 2019 patch soon? I am currently on stock, I am waiting for the update to flash this kernel once updated

Doesn't matter what rom your on. Go to twrp, flash the kernel, then magisk, reboot, done.

If your on another custom kernel, then:

Go twrp

Flash the roms kernel, or stock kernel

Then flash the twrp installer zip

Then magisk,

Then sultans kernel

Reboot, done :good:

I just updated to June patch, got it booting, fastboot booted TWRP, flash this kernel and Magisk in fell swoop and rebooted. Everything seems fine, except Play Store is showing uncertified. Did I forget something, or does it just take time for PS to say Certified?

Thanks for the kernel Mr. Freak, it's running beautifully. Question to yourself or any users out there that use the EXKM app. Ever since the commits by Sultan for decreasing the screen unlock delay, I've noticed that the battery monitor in EXKM no longer displays "deep sleep" properly. In fact not at all. However, the phone is sleeping just fine. I've noticed it on this kernel, Sultans, and on Flash. I've let Flar2 know about it as well. I've cleared app cache/data, uninstalled and reinstalled it, yet the results are the same. Just wondering if anyone is noticing the same. Thanks again Freak for all your hard work :good::cool:

This sucks, specially when your kernel seems to be the only option at the moment that fixes all the issues the Bluecross line-up have been plauged with since Day 1.

But you should from a general perspective of course go with what is feeling best for you in the long run.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Sultanxda:
What issues? My kernel does not make me satisfied with my 3 XL.

The 3 and 3 XL just have so many issues that Google hasn't fixed, the most annoying of which is stuttering and lag that just seems to never disappear (I think it's an issue in the scheduler?). There is also some phantom battery drain that occurs even during deep sleep, which is pretty much impossible for people outside Google to debug. Additionally, battery life while the phone is actually in use is quite abysmal, and that's not very easy to improve upon either. Certain hardware-related processes in Android also go wild sometimes (with high CPU usage), like the sensors process, even when I'm not using an app that's using my phone's sensors. Not to mention, the 3 still has screen flashes, which does not instill confidence that Google put much effort into making sure the Pixel 3/XL actually work. There are loads of other issues as well that many other Pixel 3/XL users have complained about.

I don't have the time or energy to chase after the difficult bugs plaguing the 3/XL, especially not while the value of my 3 XL keeps depreciating at an alarming rate. This phone isn't worth $1000, and I'm sick of pretending that it is.
