Guys whoever comes from custom kernel please flash:

-January stock boot. Img via TWRP (do not reboot device)

-Twrp (reboot)

Comeback to recovery and continue flash:

-Sultan kernal

-Magisk
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] methuselah:
Well this device all of sudden becomes interesting to me . Might give it a try soon i guess. Thanks Sultan for posting this kernel.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] LimitsX:
So I have pixel 3 xl on stock rom, kernel, basically everything stock. No TWRP, no magisk (or any kind of root).

Will the camera (and selfie) work for latest stock rom once I flash this? How is the network connection and speed?

The order:

unlock bootloader

flash TWRP

flash sultan kernel

flash magisk

Is the order correct?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
You should notice no difference at all for your camera, or network connection. However, when you unlock the bootloader, it will wipe your device. So save what you need to, then transfer everything back to your device after your in the OS. And yes, your order is correct :good:
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] HiM@L:
actually front facing camera has issue. it doesn't start. others are good.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Interesting. Must be a P3XL thing then. Thanks for the tip. Glad I didn't upgrade from my P2XL :good:
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] HiM@L:
wait. I am talking about this kernel Issue only.

Stock dont have any of the issues at all.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Roger that :good:
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] calinic:
Installed this kernel on stock rom with Pixel 3 XL and haven't experienced any issues with front or rear cameras.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] HiM@L:
did you flash over stock kernel or some other kernel ??

I flashed over stock kernel and had issue with FF camera.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Sultanxda:
This bug only affects some 3 XLs it seems. Mine is not affected so I didn't know the issue existed.

I don't know why it happens yet but I'm sure I'll have it fixed by the next release.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dukat0s:
Tested on 2 different pixel 3 xl here no problems with the camera :) selfie working 101% maybe some other stuff blocked the camera for certain people ? Anyway if anyone encounter this problem / bug take a log and upload it , you will help [MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION] and your self ;)
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] LimitsX:
Thank you for the kind reply, appreciate it much! I'm new to the flashing since I had Galaxy S8. I notice some graphical glitches when I pull the notification down and slight lag (again the animation part). And WiFi signal and speed is weak at some spots at my university relative to other devices (e.g., S8). So I hope i can see some improvement there , especially animations/slight lag I notice.

I will definitely back up, thank you sir! I have good amount of data lol
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] KforHorizon:
Works fine on the Pixel 3 if anyone is wondering. Front facing camera works just fine! Network seems fine. Now on to enjoying Sultan's kernel!

Also, because of the tweaks Sultan has made, finally the little cluster goes back down to 300mhz and doesn't use 576 mhz as the minimum like on every other kernels out there for the Pixel 3, including the stock kernel.

Cheers! Always appreciate your work since the OnePlus One.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Freak07:
As far as I know [MENTION=4800121]Sultanxda[/MENTION] didn´t change the minimum frequency for the clusters.

If you´re on a custom rom though it´s most likely to be related to this commit:

https://github.com/DirtyUnicorns/an...mmit/ccf798d0bcd1de8df4beba420dcc6f1cecdf8718

Since most custom roms out there use the device tree from DU you´ll most likely are affected from this commit.

Be advised that qualcomm intended to be 576mhz and 825mhz the default minimum frequencies for the snapdragon 845! I´m pretty sure the chip is designed so these frequencies are the most efficient in relation to idling and quickly bursting out of idling.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] KforHorizon:
I'm not on a custom ROM. I'm on stock ROM and was on stock kernel and had tried Despair and ElementalX but went back to stock.

The minimum frequency for the little cluster for 845 is 300 mhz but to keep things more efficient, I guess Google decided to rarely if ever allow the CPU to do so.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Freak07:
As I said it’s intended by qualcomm who developed the sd845 to run the chip at 576 and 825mhz as min frequencies. But the chip is physically able to scale down to 300mhz.

I’m not sure what exactly changed for you so 300mhz is used as a min freq for the little cluster! Just thought it’s related to this commit as I know it’s only working for the pixel 3 and not the pixel 3 xl. I’m pretty sure sultan didn’t change it as I already looked through his source a few days ago :svetius:

Maybe I missed something :)
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] fonixmunkee:
Installed on my Pixel 3 XL with the Franco kernel installer app. Works great, and no front facing camera bug.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] LimitsX:
How is the battery life so far on this kernel?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] :
It goes slowly down when you use your device.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] hilla_killa:
Its not supposed to do that, dam kernel!
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kdrag0n:
It's using 300 MHz as min because Sultan's CPU Input Boost driver uses the true minimum frequency and does not have Franco's return frequency commit. Userspace writing to scaling_min_freq has no effect when the kernel is using CPU Input Boost.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] elghouchd:
Followed the instructions outlined in the guide for installing the factory image (wiped data) along with rooting with Magisk and flashing this kernel. Front facing camera not working. Camera app crashes when flipping to front camera.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] KforHorizon:
It's a bit of both. Sultan's kernel uses 300mhz quite a bit more than the other kernels but also doesn't frequently comes down to 300mhz and stays on 652 mhz quite a bit too.

If it makes the cpu more efficient I'm all for it but so far I don't think that is the case.

Need to go through 2-3 more cycles to be conclusive.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ubergeek77:
Are you sure it's this kernel that's causing the issue? I'm using this kernel and my front facing camera works just fine.

Granted, I compiled it from source manually, so unless there's something wrong with the precompiled one linked to the OP, it's probably not a kernel issue.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] elghouchd:
I mean I'm not completely sure but the only thing I can think of is it's a kernel issue. Again I completely wiped my phone and flashed the latest factory image and then this kernel. I've stayed on the stock ROM with other kernels before and haven't had the issue. It's weird that only some Pixels are having this issue, it will make debugging a little more difficult.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bbender716:
Could be some custom kernels that modify dbto? Since flashing boot.img does not reset that to stock and it could conflict?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] LimitsX:
Or maybe its not ;) . Your using it wrong.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MArtyChubbs:
Definitely using it wrong. If you hold it upside down you can get the battery to charge and actually increase. Pro tip: What you have to do is charge your phone to 69% then turn the phone upside down and read it backwards and now it's %96. I read in another Forum you don't have to turn it upside down before you read it backwards and you get the same results but I haven't tested that yet.

I put a little video together to show this and other lesser-known tricks on how to get the power company to pay your electricity bill, grow more hair, and boost your testosterone all at the same time
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Bwahahahahaha....oh dude! That was priceless! Well done! ????
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kdrag0n:
The front facing camera issue for some devices is because Sultan disabled debugfs for reduced attack surface and a slimmer kernel. I'm sure it'll be fixed soon. When I added those debugfs disabling changes to my own kernel, the same issues manifested until I re-enabled debugfs. It's a known issue that I reported to him on Gerrit, although he claimed the issue was in my source at the time.

If you are having the issue, please provide logs to aid debugging instead of complaining about it. I suggest using the SysLog app to easily collect logs right after you open the camera and switch the front camera. Only "Main Log (logcat)" and "Kernel Log (dmesg)" will be useful.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cjx11111:
may i use it on custom roms?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ubergeek77:
Out of sheer curiosity, is there any reason the b1c1_defconfig in your source isn't set to compile with clang? (CONFIG_LTO_CLANG)

I'm not entirely sure what clang does (if someone has a good explanation, I'd love to know), but I know that the "stock" kernel defconfig has it enabled, so I'm really curious about what the differences between building with clang vs not building with clang are.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kdrag0n:
Clang is a C compiler just like GCC. On a high level, the compiler turns C source code (which most of the kernel is written in) into ARM64 machine code (which the phone's CPU understands). Google switched to Clang for better diagnostics (warnings) that assist them in removing dirty code , as well as its security features such as CFI which they enabled for the Pixel 3, SafeStack which almost made it but caused memory corruption issues, and more to come.

LTO_CLANG is actually just controlling whether to enable Link Time Optimization (LTO) when compiling with Clang, not the compiler itself. LTO is required for CFI security which is why Google enabled it.

I'm not sure why exactly Sultan decided to use GCC instead of Clang, but I did this in my kernel because the kernel performs better when compiled with GCC. Here are the benchmarks to prove it.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ubergeek77:
Thanks, pretty interesting stuff.

Is there anything I'm missing out on by not having CFI? Do some Pie apps rely on this for anything?

Also, I noticed your benchmarks have Clang 8 listed, but the version Google apparently uses to build the Pixel 3 kernel is version 6. Do you think version 6 still performs worse?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kdrag0n:
No, CFI is a purely in-kernel security feature by design.

Google actually uses Clang 5 which is over a year old. I suspect it performs worse than Clang 8, but haven't confirmed this myself with benchmarks.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] aznriceballman:
Is it just me or is the memory management really aggressive? It kills nacho notch pretty frequently, Spotify and LMT launcher pretty frequently. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Sultanxda:
Apps are killed when you literally run out of memory. However, they're killed according to the level of importance that Android gives them. Once you leave an app, Android significantly demotes that app's importance, and if your usage pattern causes your phone to soon run out of memory after exiting said app, then it'll likely be killed to free memory.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] aznriceballman:
Thanks for getting back to me :) I guess I'll have to monitor my memory usage to figure out what's going on.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kingbri:
Does 8 perform worse than 9?
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] otrobruno:
Just installed Sultan Kernel on Pixel 3, got the selfie camera error.

The app turn off when changing to selfie option, it happens on main app and OnePlus camera app. On Moment Camera app when changing to to selfie camera, the app just hangs up.

I was on stock rom.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] hilla_killa:
Same happened to me, no selfie camera. Ill be back to try sultan later
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] HiM@L:
Dev already knows about it but ya, wish he would push just bugfix for this. i guess its not priority enough.

live and let live.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Sultanxda:
You're right, it's not priority enough over my homework and job, so you're going to have to be patient.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] HiM@L:
yup. life happens and others need to learn to live with it.

good luck with your homeworks.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] otrobruno:
I was just reporting what happened when installed the kernel, I was not hurrying Sultan or annoying him with a lot of requests

so when you have a Kernel and I've download it, you can come with the live and let live nonsense
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] HiM@L:
lol

i don't know what just happened.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] MArtyChubbs:

I haven't been able to get it to boot on AOSiP. I tried flashing the rom and twrp, then this kernel and no luck. I tried flashing feb stock boot image and then booting to twrp and flashing this kernel, no luck. There must be something different with AOSiP from the rest and probably why we can't boot with the kernel. Hopefully at some point we will get to try it out and not just read about how awesome the kernel is :p
