I'm having some trouble passing SafetyNet. I clean flashed DP3 this morning, flashed TWRP, Sultan, then Magisk 16.4. I've tried everything, I've wiped it multiple times, clean flashed it multiple times. Nothing is working.

Any help?

Thanks in advanced.

From somewhere in Japan, I have uploaded a new build with CPU boosting on app launch! Apps launch at a good speed now.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Sukhi:
Should be more battery friendly than the last version or same?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mrbracht:
Love this kernel except for the fact safetynet fails. But that's not a big deal to me.. Unless there is a way to make safetynet pass, then I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Anyways. Thank you!
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ram4ufriends:
Did you clear data on play store and play services? I am not on this kernel, but it was failing for me on Flash kernel as well..I had to clear data on both to pass safety net...
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Try going back in twrp and flash magisk again. I haven't had any trouble with SN with this or flash kernel :good:

Your not using xposed are you?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mrbracht:
Yes I am. Would that be the cause? On factory kernel that doesn't seem to trigger a failure.

I have cleared them both and that didn't fix it.

The difference is visible. Arigatou !
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] JeromeLeung:
If you're using systemless Xposed via Magisk you can disable the module and then reboot to pass safetynet then turn it back on when you don't need to pass it anymore

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] zacharias.maladroit:
Have a nice time :cowboy:

That input_boost framework is awesome, btw - keeping everything smooth and running optimally :)

Once you're back, [MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION] , was https://github.com/sultanxda/androi...mmit/5edfff9e18be3b1f511ce673e871902af26831b3 deliberately left in the kernel ?

Correct me if I'm wrong - it looks like cpu_input_boost at least partially takes care of what that commit is doing, if not similarly (wake boosting)

Anyone having issues with input_boosting, btw, that the lowest frequencies are getting stuck to the pre-set input boost frequencies or even the max frequencies ?

Meaning:

e.g. boost for little cluster (set in config) at 900 MHz = absolute bottom, and this cannot be changed for example with EX Kernel Manager or other apps and it looks like the cores stay around max frequencies and only occasionally dip towards "real" bottom (300 MHz)

It doesn't seem to happen all of the time but I now observed this for 5+ hours which would coincide with time how long WiFi was on (4 hours) + 1 hour of SOT
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] murphyjasonc:
I'm really not sure if you have to allow twrp to modify the system partition or not. I've always allowed it and never had a problem bypassing safety net though. You will need a custom kernel like Sultans to hide an unlocked bootloader though. As far as encryption if you have clean flashed your phone after the April security update twrp will not decrypt your data. The only way around this is either to sideload what you want to flash, push the files to the /data or /tmp folders or roll back to the April image install Twrp and then update to August.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Windroid-user:
Don't worry you don't need to allow it to modify it and I have flashed sultan Kernel and everything. Banking apps seemed to work at first glance and Gpay should as well with the SQL modules.

Can't confirm yet because it is not my phone and he is away right now.

Thank you all for the help

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Windroid-user:
So you guys remove lock screen and flash kernel in twrp? After that you also reflash twrp or magisk if you want to keep them? 8/06 build is working great man, literally uses a gig less when using Uber Waze etc compared to before. I think it's mainly android os which uses less ram. When I was using those two apps it would max out at like 98% ram, now I think only 70 something percent.

Ah ok but I wonder do I have to reinstall my modules after doing that? Not that it's a big deal just want to know. I need to remove my pin/fingerprint as well to access twrp right?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] BlakeSm:
No
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sadiku:
If you have decrypt issue with TWRP on pin code, my way is to put all necessary file(kernel, TWRP, Magisk) into /data and reboot to TWRP, select read only mode, you still able to access file at /data and flash them.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rodcpierce:
Anyone else notice general overall sluggishness with the current build compared to the last one? If not, I'll reflash. But seems to me the previous build opens apps much quicker for me, and just in general has betterl overall snappiness.

Quite the contrary, it's snappier than ever for me.

[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] rodcpierce:
Actually not weird at all. I think I've flashed probably a few hundred kernels by this point, happens sometimes.

Flashed kernel again, flashed magisk, wiped cache and good to go.

Be respectful of the dev's schedule. If there hasn't been an update up to this point, there's a reason. Wait patiently like the rest of us. And yes, I know A. 10's kernel is atrocious, but we'll manage.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] :
Hey Sultan, don't you think 1800mhz is a lot for minimum? for example in some small activities or in aod the device will wake up at 1800mhz and will consume a lot of battery
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Mrcactuseater:
Obviously you haven't read through any of his documentation or this thread to see why he chose to do this.

Long story short, it is one of the most efficient frequencies in the device, even in short workloads.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] :
Where can I find?
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Have you looked in the OP? :o
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xFirefly93:
GitHub is your friend.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] KHANrad_SIN:
I remember a long time ago seeing a graph that compared frequencies vs power consumption for the 835. I can't seem to find it anymore, but maybe if someone post a graph like that it'll help people understand why the min. freq. is 1804 and 1824mhz for the big and little clusters respectively.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] xFirefly93:
Because those frequencies are the most efficient to use from a power efficiency point of view.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Eamo5:
Sultan reworked the device's EAS energy costs and documented in great depth why he selected the minimum frequencies for each cluster. You can read more about it in his commit here.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] KHANrad_SIN:
omg thank you so much, I know everyone was saying go to the github link in the OP to read about it but I had no idea how to navigate around once there lol
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] KHANrad_SIN:
So I read through it and I just had some questions. So I understand that 1824 and 1804mhz are the most efficient frequencies for the little and big cluster respectively. I also understand that the purpose of the kernel is to use those frequencies as often as possible so that the workload can be finished quicker and so that the CPU can idle earlier in order to save some battery. My question is what does the CPU idle at? Because I thought the point of it was to race to idle as quickly as possible but it seems like there is no idle frequency to even race to. I can open up EX kernel manager and just leave my phone there and watch it and it will never go below 1824 and 1804. Am I missing something? or is EX kernel manager not displaying it properly? Based on the documentation 364 and 344mhz for the little and big cluster respectively are the frequencies that consume the least amount of power. I get that 1824 and 1804mhz are more efficient when comparing performance vs power consumption as a ratio but 364 and 344mhz actually consume less power period. Would it not be beneficial to have the CPU drop to these frequencies when it's done performing a task? or is that already happening? Not trying to criticize the methodology of this kernel, just trying to keep myself educated out of genuine interest.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Maverick Jester:
EDIT: nevermind.
[Google Pixel 2 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Sultanxda:
The CPU clock is gated at even the most shallow idle levels on ARM CPUs. Gating a clock means that the oscillations of the clock are blocked from reaching anything using that clock line. Therefore, when the CPU clock is gated, the CPU runs at 0 Hz.

The takeaway from this is that even if you have an ARM CPU running at 1.8 GHz, it will always consume the same amount of power in its idle states regardless of the frequency it was running at prior to idling.
