[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
yes it can be changed, you'd have to switch rom-side light management entirely off and activate direct mode as well as "mixer"

as i said, it's not easy and takes some experience and persistence to make it work "EXACTLY" as we want but after some time

one get's a good idea as to which the alternatives are.

unfortunately nowadays each brand has implemented their own light management and the times when it just worked like with

nexus devices has gone, started to change when more and more OEM started to improve their built in light management.

one can't blame them but i need lights for silent mode, no cell signal etc which are rarely included in stock OS and then

on non-amoled displays i don't like always on display hence want to screen to come on briefly showing the notification while i dislike the peeking thing, it covers access to things i want/need more and for too long

thing is that i use at least 4 devices simultaneously and they're all different, nexus 6 is horrible light wise, OP2 is similar to OP6 while OPO is perfectly working like neus 5 and samsung Note8 and older SG-Notes

EDIT: the setup of the N6 is similar to OP devices while the horrible thing is that it shows different colors from differen angles and orange is not easy to achieve (but possible, takes a bit trial and error)
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] KnifeFed:
Thanks for the info! It does indeed work, after some tweaking (and I didn't have to disable "Pulse notification light" in the display settings). However, I would still prefer to have it as a kernel feature.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
great, yes in the beginning it works without disabling but remember this once it will start to misbehave ;)

i dunno why this is but you will ser, in my cade it suddenly showed the charged green insted of chargin orange, perhaps it depends on the charge and cable or the state.

thing is that i have charging equipment always ready in each room as well as cars & motorbike and of course i use the ones i have for all devices, hence only onr of them is original OP charger.

however i'm glad it workd and wish you luck to convince flar2 :highfive:

Does this kernel bring any benefit in terms of battery life or performance compared to stock or is it just more feature and more kernel customization ? thanks
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] B3501:
If you use stune boost then yes
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
the correct answer would have been:

YES, and if you use stune boost even more so, your reply implies "NO only if you use stune boost and that's not correct.

no offense meant but all this only makes sense if we provide precise and accurate information or none at all.

a kernel is not like a toy where if something is slightly different than advertised so what, hence details are relevant.

the kernel is optimized and takes care of a few wakelocks even without stune boost, hence this post, sorry of any inconvenience it might have caused.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Bougagi:

By curiosity does it boot ? And if yes what kernel do you have after flashing magisk ? ( Do you have module installed ?)

Btw for me it is working on stock 5.1.8 with magisk ...
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] TiZiO.Cover:

Flashed Magisk and the Kernel right after, and everything's working fine.

If i flash Magisk i have Kernel 4.9.65

I haven't installed modules
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Kiruasan:
Strange ...Specially about the kernel since magisk doesn't install or remover kernels as far as I know ..

If you're already rooted try to reflash elementalx kernel ... I know you may have already tried it but to be honest this way you may grab some logs ( from TWRP ) maybe could be helpful here ...normally the kernel flashing shouldn't remove the root

So try to reflash grab the log if it doesn't work post the log here ...if no answer try maybe from clean install ...yeah can't see other answer :(
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] audiovicious:
Dont the instructions in the OP say to flash kernel, then magisk? I believe that's also how I've seen it everywhere else.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Chris123NT:

Does your device boot? Then it works.

I'm on TMO also. It works fine. Vibration options broke after 5.1.7, but kernel works. I need to reflash since I updated to 5.1.8 today. But I'll do that later.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
this is the correct order, the other way around they loos root in 90%+ of all cases (would prefer to say 100% but then i can't proof some are lying)
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] brossovitch:
Flash kernel, TWRP, then Magisk. Reboot.

When updating ROM...

Flash rom, TWRP, reboot TWRP, Flash Kernel, Flash Magisk.

100% perfect everytime. At least for me. Unsure if I need to reflash TWRP installer after kernel but may as well to be safe. Typically just use, "add zip," function.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Chris123NT:
What? Kernels can't break one specific carrier. I'm on TMO and it's working fine.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
yeah that was predictable if someone is posting such non-sense ( not you, the other guy with the special kernel that behaves different LOL)

perhaps he doesn't even recognize that he lost root, can't think of any other way how this would work in any way if magisk needs to be flashed at all

of course if magisk does not have to be flashed then it does not matter, all remains the same, this possibility exists if we only flash the kernel, i.e. express variant

BUT IN THAT CASE, MAGISK DOESN'T HAVE TO BE FLASHED AT ALL, NEITHER BEFORE NOR AFTER WHICH IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE POST.

it implies that magisk should be flashed before the kernel but this only applies if MAGISK DOES NOT NEED TO BE FLASHED AT ALL

which is why it should not even be mentioned that it can then be flashed before (overkill) but explicitly be mentioned that the kernel can be flashed i.e. over an existing

EX-Kernel without re-flashing magisk.

this is exactly a big source for misunderstandings with consequences for many

hope it's clear now.

---------- Post added at 08:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 PM ----------

yes, only that in this case you don't need to flash magisk before also but not at all and upon first rooting root cannot be detected logically and in that case one has to flash magisk last which is why even if the post under certain circumstances counted by the letter is can be interpreted as correct, the implication that in case magisk must be flashed that it can be flashed before the kernel is wrong which is well proven through the fact that after that post this thread got derailed in some way with a totally useless and unnecessary discussion while before everything was clear for everyone

and worked ALWAYS.

what bothers me most is the motivation of such posts, their sole purpose is to claim some bragging rights through "great finds"

and that shot backfires heavily as we can see now.

An update to what? Magisk or the kernel installer?

I flashed the kernel, then Magisk, and I'm on 5.1.8, and as far as I know, I have the kernel and root. I don't have EX Kernel Manager, but I've been thinking of buying it. What features broke with the most recent update?

[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Kiruasan:
If I may guess I'll say you installed the oos update , the twro zip and then the kernel ( straight ahead without rebooting ....) you rebooted to TWRP and flashed maybe magisk before restarting on system

QUOTE=bdick21;76817202]Hi VeNuMus, thanks for replying. I have tried clean flashing the entire ROM many times over the last few days trying to investigate the cause of this problem! When I install ElementalX, I get the crash. When I restore stock boot image, it doesn't crash. I'm trying to think what could be different about my phone compared to everyone else's. One difference is that my phone is the Indian Avengers edition, Model "ONEPLUS A6000". My friend's phone is Model "ONEPLUS A6003" and his doesn't crash. Has anyone else got Model "ONEPLUS A6000"? Does it crash or not?[/QUOTE]

Switch to another theme before you install any non-stock kernel. The stock kernel has some flag which enables the Avengers theming. I had the same issue till I changed the theme before installing EX. This didn't happen on my Star Wars OP5T though.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Obi-Wan:
I flashed the update, the twrp zip, Magisk and the Kernel at the end. At the reboot there is no root. I flashed again Magisk and the Kernel disappeared.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Kiruasan:
If you did flash everything in a row without rebooting ( normally after installing recovery for instance, you need to reboot to trigger the slot switchover ...) then it is normal to loose root ( actually it didn't install at all ...) . However you mentioned loosing the kernel which sound weird since it is the same story as for the root, as long as you don't reboot after reinstalling the recovery if you flash a kernel it won't install in the right slot ...so for me it didn't install in the right slot anyway ...
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] flar2:
Update!!!

A quick update with the latest changes from OnePlus (nothing major)

For improvement in battery life, get the latest version of EX Kernel Manager, go to the CPU screen and select "Boost Settings" to open the Boost Settings screen. Then:

-Disable MSM Touchboost

-Change Dynamic stune boost to 15 (or somewhere between 10 and 20)

-Set all Input boost frequencies to 0 MHz (i.e. disabled)

-Change Input boost milliseconds to 1500 (might be unecessary, feel free to experiment)

Latest EX Kernel Manager: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.exkernelmanager

Download (OxygenOS Android 8.1.0):

ElementalX-1.06.zip

Changes:

-OnePlus updates (5.1.8)
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Bougagi:
to update we just flash it over the 1.05 in twrp ?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] refedit:
Yes. And right after, before reboot, you flash root zip
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
sometimes one gets a feel the one's talking to a wall.

it's not necessary to flash root zip if only the kernel is flashed over a rooted device.

this kernel uses "any kernel" means the kernel is injected into the existing boot img that if already rooted remains rooted.

flashing the root zip is only necessary if before flashing the kernel a non-rooted boot.img has been flashed i.e. a rom updated that contains

an own kernel.

why is it important since nothing is wrong (nothing breakes) if the root zip is flashed over again ?

thing is that many less experienced users need consistent information and procedures and for the sake of this it's better to not unnecessarily

recommend unnecessary steps. there will always be some who flash the root zip first or something else.

if someone wants to flash this kernel to a rooted device and it's not necessary to flash anything else, just hold back with half smart extra posts.

one could also flash the gapps again, nothing breaks as well but it's not necessary and everyone would ask why to recommend it if it's not necessary?

same applies here. i recommend EVERYONE to at least once flash the kernel updated dirty over existing rom and kernel if only the kernel is flashed. like this you can experience it first hand and will be immune to all the profiling contributions that have no benefit but bear confusion.

just do it, verify this information, after that you don't have to believe but you know, much better, isn't it ?

i see if the rocovery log shows the last flash and post it here together with screenshots to encourage as many as possible to take the path once and for ever ;)

EDIT: the log was overwritten as expected but should anyone have doubts i can repeat the process and post the recovery.log here but again, try it out and you'll be totally sure
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] iElvis:
You can flash it directly from franco kernel manager using the Manual Flash function. Easy as can be and nothing else necessary, as noted above.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] audiovicious:
Trying to flash from the EX Kernel Manager I keep getting a download failed, but I'm new to the app. I used Elemental on some previous devices, but my last device wasn't rootable, so I'm having to catch myself up on some things or relearn them. Schedulers, governors, this new stune boost.

So far I'm using flar2's recommended settings for stune, but it's all I've set in the kernel manager to see what else uli might be able to adjust. I need to dig a little deeper and tinker around some more.

Here's one thing I'm curious about: I can recall long ago setting some kernel settings to apply at boot, but then if it caused a problem you could get stuck rebooting. I want to do that here since I sometimes restart and I want to hold the settings button cause I may forget to apply them again and I wanna see what I can get the best results out of. Is there a fail safe in case anything that applies at boot causes an issue? A settings file I can just delete, rwflashing the kernel just seems like it'd still apply the settings from the app once it booted.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
if it says download failed try the other option, talking about custom & express vice versa and report back how it went if possible. there currently is no obvious difference i'm aware of, hence could simply be the download channel, just try it out.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] flar2:
The express version was corrupted due to my bad internet. I re-uploaded it.

I wouldn't worry about bad settings causing a bootloop, I haven't heard of that happening. You'd really have to screw something up. The solution would be to boot in safe mode and delete EXKM.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] audiovicious:
I went ahead and just downloaded the version linked here and flashed it successfully, though it seems flar2 has weighed in on the problem.

Good to know. Thanks! Now I just need to find some optimal settings. Really looking to find what suits me and set it and forget it. Any suggestions for what has worked for anyone else is welcome. Thanks for the Kernel and the app flar2, definitely supporting your efforts.

EDIT: Everything seems good, I noticed a significant drain when using Google Music though, and I use a lot of Google Music during the day, hoping this levels out some. My concern with playing with settings is sometimes maybe the defaults are better than what I might mess with or I'll make performance worse, but it's all just running it for a period and testing it out, what I used to do, just been a long long time.

[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] audiovicious:
So my battery life while screen off has greatly increased, and I've been able to keep the same snappiness. SOT seems better too, but I'll need to run it a little longer to determine how much better.

The test is gonna come when I start streaming music to see if it tanks again. AFAIK I'm using default settings with stune boost and gesture vibration turned off. So far happy with it if I can work out why Google Music causes so much drain.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
it's recommended, not to say mandatory to first boot into system and flash kernel and magisk afterwards. this is how one can be sure to be on the right slot. after updating and booting into updated syste which is automatic, one will get right back to flash into conrrect slot the reminder (kernel and root)

twrp is slightly different, it flashes always to both slots with the zip.

last but not least flashing from built in updater does produce any extra steps thus far, it does overwrite twrp as well as kernel and you gonna loose root. hence it's the easiest way except the fact that one would have to fastboot boot (twrp.img path)

this could be too much for some who can easily use the method you described while to fastboot boot is a nobrainer for me. on a mac you simply rightclick the folder on desktop and open terminal to folder in the menu. on windows it might be a bit more work which i think makes it understandable if some users prefer to flash everything form twrp.

difference there is that one would have to download it from link while the updater does everything automatically.

so both procedures have there benefits and downsides so to say, personal choice i'd say.
