I thought other people would complain about this but somehow I'm the only one. After flashing 22 I'm getting a Device is Corrupt error but if I hit the power button I can proceed as usual.

I've followed your instructions to flash kernel then TWRP then Magisk. That solved my previous problem of being stuck in a bootloop with 19 but now for 21 and 22 I'm back to the same problem but can proceed to boot.

Do I need to reflash the ROM or run Deuces? I'm using stock ROM by the way. Hoping there is an easier fix.

This is the fastest and smoothest my Pixel 2 has ever run! Also I anticipate the battery life to be amazing. So far so good!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pushpendrayadav:
Hi Sultan,

Battery life is very good on this build.

Running great, thanks for your hard work.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] arvylas:
Because of my high drain problems under certain circumstances I reflashed April update and performed a dates reset in many apps or uninstalled them and re installed them. Everything seems fine now.

For the test kernels now.

2nd test is really fast and fluid and I get ok battery life. Seems to suffer a bit battery wise under heavier workloads and as it seems uses max freq more often.

1st test really fast and fluid except when launching apps which is a tad slower, but just a tad really. Battery life is amazing for me on this kernel especially under heavier workloads.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] :
Can we make this device smooth like an iPhone ?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sublimaze:
You mean smooth like taking forever for animations to mask sluggish app loading, and switching between apps?

And smooth like when apps crash and it resprings like nothing happened?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] :
Looks like you're not a fan of animations.

Memory performance will be a lot better when Simple LMK is finished. It might be a little while until that happens though, since writing memory management code is really hard...

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] :
FYI: the first reboot after the installation led me into the fastboot menu but the start from there went fine.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Sultanxda:
I don't recall the Queen of Britain being a dessert though ?

I didn't change anything that could cause that. That was probably caused by one of your slots being marked as non-functional by the bootloader.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] :
That never happened before. Is that a normal behavior that can happen from time to time ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Gordietm:

It's going to be hard to beat this one! But I'll flash the new one here in a minute! Glad to have you back on board brother!!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Eamo5:

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] RogerF81:
Hm very strange:confused:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Sultanxda:
New build is up with an overhauled EAS energy model and Simple LMK driver. This is a big update; CPU performance, battery life, and memory management should all be significantly better.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Sultanxda:
If it boots, then it works (probably). I don't know about each and every custom ROM so that's up to your discretion.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Azure Dragon:
Will try, because I think the ROM has Flash kernel built in, but I'm not very satisfied with the performance. I'll post an update afterwards.

Flashed new build.

Is it normal that all cores stay around 1800mhz? just asking...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Sultanxda:
Yes, this is normal. Try it out for a day; I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] pa.pn2:
ok boss^^
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Azure Dragon:
Well, I got stuck in a bootloop. :( Not working for HavocOS.

Update;

lol I thought 5 minutes of booting up was a boot loop. I turned it off and on again, and it's installed. "Pixel is starting..." is taking a bit of time though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rodcpierce:
Seems a bit slow to open apps again. I'll give it a few days here and see how it settles in.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] livsey:
Hi. Is it normal that the minimum frequency is 1824-1804? So conceived?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
Just few post above yours, Sultan mentioned its normal
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CyberpodS2:
Once upon a time back in the s4 or s5 days several kernel devs discovered under the right conditions and settings you could get great performance and battery by keeping the CPU from ramping up and down constantly. It was counter intuitive but worked. Those same builds also made the phones sleep like a baby when it was desired.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] :
It happened the same way again with the latest Update. I've flashed through FK Kernel Manager if that makes any difference.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Hormesis:
So far the latest kernel is working great, thanks!

Were you surprised with your findings on EAS? I'm assuming they were counter to Google's analysis or you wouldn't have changed them.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xFirefly93:
Did they bias the CPU toward using higher or lower frequencies?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Sultanxda:
Not into the main kernel, but I can give you a single build with diag I suppose. You only need to do this once, right?

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CyberpodS2:
I was trying to find a thread but alas it's been too long and my memory is shot. Lol

I'm thinking it ramped up fast and tended to stay there during use but scrolled down way low when sleeping. Sorry I don't have actual specifics. If and when I come across it I'll post.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Azure Dragon:
Not sure if this is related but I have experienced freezing twice while playing a game. It goes back after maybe 5-10 seconds but ends up giving me an extra death and my teammates flaming me afterwards ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] reddevil08:
No, has to be done after each security patch update. No issues, I'll just revert back to ElementalX.

Thanks for your offer though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Sultanxda:
o_O
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Sultanxda:
I've uploaded a new build with adjustments to Simple LMK to fix the short freezes. If the freezes aren't fixed in the April 29 build, I'll upload a new build without Simple LMK and work on it some more.

FYI, old versions of Simple LMK would freeze for several minutes rather than a few seconds, so this is a substantial improvement :silly:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Prattham:
Indeed lol

Will report back thanks alot man

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] agplugged:
I'm using both WhatsApp and Google messenger without any freeze / delays whatsoever so it might be something other than just kernel? Simple LMK works great for me, and the latest version is by far the best I tested on this kernel.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Sultanxda:
Nah, I got a couple of short freezes myself after about 12 hours. It was Simple LMK.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Sultanxda:
New build is up with another stab at Simple LMK and some other quality of life changes. Haptic feedback is disabled while the camera is in use now, so it won't ruin photos and videos, and the hall effect sensor is disabled by default so that your screen won't randomly turn off and on near anything with a magnet.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] agplugged:
Not that I had any problem with lag before but after flashing this build the "problematic" apps now launch faster than usual.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Sultanxda:
Proximity sensor isn't controlled by the kernel so I don't know how it could be related to the April 29 build.

Also, my proximity sensor works fine.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rodcpierce:
Alright. I haven't changed anything except the kernel. It worked fine on the 22nd. Appears to not work on the 29th and the 30th.

I'll keep checking around and see if I can figure it out.

Seems to work fine when the phone is in a call, just not when locked. Hmmm. I can cover the sensor and unlock the phone.

You are in Sultan Kernel thread :laugh:
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Freak07:
If you delete the dtbo inside sultans kernel zip you’re running whatever dtbo you’re previously on.

Currently the kernel that gets flashed consists of the actual kernel image and the dtbo image.

Google did this on purpose to support two devices with just one source. Taimen and Walleye have different displays. That’s why you lose or don’t get one of sultans display patches if you’re not using his dtbo. it doesn’t matter if you delete it from the zip or flash stock over it. You will lose his changes.

I hope that makes it a bit clearer.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Tech37:
Currently at 0.93% and have seen as low as 0.64% and as high as 1.7%. I think it has a lot to do with how strong your cell signal is. There is magisk module called Doze for gms that helps a lot too. Puts Google play services in battery optimized mode.

0 issues or lag for me on the 4/30 build. Feels very smooth as well. Can't comment on battery yet.

I have two mods running, but I don't know if either contribute to my success with this kernel. The first is a Magisk mod that raises the zram to 2048 mb. The second is adding debug.hwui.renderer=opengl to the build.prop to smooth out Lawnchair. No matter what kernel I run, without the build.prop addition, LC has microlags.

I haven't gamed at all, but Gmail, Chrome, Instagram, XDA, Telegram and Maps all work fine.

Weird, 0429 didn't freeze at all but had occasional lags. 0430 was somehow worse than 0429. Anyway, since most of them recommend flashing 0422, I suppose I'll give it a try.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Allen Hu:
Some comments on the recent 29/30 builds here

Performance wise, it's noticably smoother than the 4/22 build, no doubts on that.

In terms of battery, idle drain is slightly higher than the 4/22 build, something like 0.33%/hr -> 0.5%/hr, but still great standby drain imo.

And finally memory management, couldn't actually tell the effects of Simple LMK, at least on my end :(

Freezes occur pretty often, like 4-5 times a day, mostly when listening to YouTube in background or in PIP, which fills the ram I guess.

Edit: I also think the 30 build has more freezes than 29

Keep up the great work sir, really appreciate your work :)
