Read post #84.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] flar2:
It really has nothing to do with the kernel. It's simply not part of the kernel, so there is nothing I could do to break or fix.it.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] luigi90210:
i noticed my phone has issues with detecting me saying ok google when i needed to reset up the voice match(like id have to say it 2-3 times before detecting it) maybe there is something up with the microphone or maybe the wakelock blocker is messing with it?
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sic0048:
I still have the same issue with the "OK Google" detection. I'm not trying to argue with the developer, because they would clearly know what they are taking about. But something is causing an issue and I haven't figured it out. I didn't have an issue with 1.02, but if I flash 1.03 or 1.04, OK Google detection doesn't work. If I restore the stock kernel, OK Google detection works again without changing anything else. This is repeatable.

I've removed all magisk modules and this does not fix the issue when using the Ex kernel. I honestly don't know what else to try, so I've simply gone back to using the stock kernel. Everything works just fine with the stock kernel.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Archangel:
LOL he is not being "dense" something is going on to stop "Okay Google" voice activation from working. I have tested it multiple times and this kernel every single time makes it stop working when the kernel is the only change made. Tried changing the voice model everything and still not working. What would you say is going on when you ONLY flash the Kernel and something stops working,, then you undo that change and its working again? Maybe its the process or something, maybe its not the kernel but, it is the only change made and it stops working?
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] JAlvarezFlores:
I have some issues with this kernel using microphone. For example, my phone lags when I want to send a voice message or "OK Google".

Interactive governor is still broken for some reason. No other issues for me.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xFirefly93:
Because you shouldn't even use Interactive on a EAS based device. It's all-in on Schedutil these days.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] arenaboy007:
It's there so I tried [emoji23] Maybe remove it so it wouldn't alarm other users?
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Archangel:
So with the screen off you can say "okay google" and it respond? As well, your Now Playing recognizes songs with the screen off? If so I will try it again maybe it was a bad flash.

-update audio drivers
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] thereal_bigjake:
I don't really use it but I thought I'd check since I read others had the issue. I was on march with EXK and Hey Google worked fine. I updated to July and it worked without the kernel. After flashing the kernel it doesn't work ? All other forms of using my voice work but Hey Google can't even be turned on.

I wouldn't think a kernel could cause this issue but it seems like it did to me.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] arenaboy007:
Yes it works for me.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] luigi90210:
Ok Google hotword works now with the latest update, i wonder if microphone drivers were the issue

thank you though

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] The flasher tool in EXKM, how does it work? Is it solely to flash kernel scripts, or can it flash any script? Is it kind of like a mini recovery?
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] flar2:
You can flash most things,.but I'd stay away from flashing stuff that modifies /system.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xFirefly93:
Yes, there is a simple but catchy solution.

It's called BlackenedMod (made all by me for every newer Pixel thar have been released) which is featuring target / device specific adjustments for massively better performance while maximizing battery life as far as possible, and of course on the contrary.

You'll find it here.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sic0048:
While my battery usage isn't bad, it seems like they're is an excessive overheat_mitigation wakelock that I haven't noticed before. It's kept the phone from deep sleep nearly 70% of the time.

My phone has not been overheating or even in a hot environment today.

I'm just curious if anyone else is seeing the same wakelock or not.

Thanks.

[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] USSENTERNCC1701E:
That's ****in' bizarre, the phone is passively cooled, the best mitigation for overheating is to reduce power usage, not keep it awake.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xFirefly93:
You should worry more about that nasty qcom_rx_wakelock IMO..
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sic0048:
I rebooted my phone before going to bed last night and woke up to the wakelock. In fact it was even worse, keeping the phone awake 97% of the time.

Then I realized that all night and a lot of time yesterday, my phone was plugged in, but in battery idle mode (where the phone draws power directly from the plug and doesn't use battery power at all). You can see this mode in the first screen shot of you look at the power consumption numbers.

I'll be off the plug today and will check the wakelock after a more normal day, but I think the two are related.

The other thing I noticed this morning was through the better battery stats app. The number of times the wakelock occurred isn't abnormal (just 3 times) just the fact that it held the phone awake for the entire night.

[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] arenaboy007:
Does it occur even when you use your device unplugged? Looks like it's a feature to keep your phone cool while charging.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] flar2:
If the phone is plugged in, it does not go to deep sleep.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] arenaboy007:
Tried using the latest version. This time my voice assistant stopped working [emoji23] rolling back to 1.04 since I it works there.

Update your system
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] arenaboy007:
Sorry what do you mean by update my system? I updated the kernel from 1.04 to 1.05 from the exkernel manager.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] flar2:

[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Bytheby, is there an audio update coming for 2.x on Q? My Bluetooth audio quality has taken a pretty serious hit since switching to EX.

Otherwise, kernel is great, and even with this I'm very glad to have it. Thank you!
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] flar2:
Q kernel already has the latest drivers, Bluetooth is 100% identical to stock.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xFirefly93:
If this wakelock worries you so much, then just block it and see how your phone behaves..

Tweaking kernel parameters

OK, so I installed v1.05 and it's all fine and dandy.

Well, with all due respect and aware that there are probably many optimizations under the hood, I don't see much difference performance wise, so I'd ask some advice to gain a bit of speed.

To be clear I'm interested in user INTERFACE SMOOTHNESS, as in NO STUTTERING at all, I'm not speaking about games peformance.

My usual way to test this aspect is to open Play Store and slide in the left drawer: often that animation skips some frames and stutters quite noticeably.

I have already played a bit and lowered the HISPEED LOAD to 50 for both clusters.

I know that this change might not be relevant at all with what I'd like to achive.

As far as I can tell the SCHEDUTIL governor should be tuned tweaking STUNE BOOST parameters, is it correct?

Would you guys be so king to shed some light on which parameters should be tweaked to improve UI smoothness?
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xFirefly93:
No, tune the Schedutil governor by adjusting the "built-in" parameters / tunables.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Giocarro:
Well, if I understand correctly stune boost *is* a built-in parameter.

The issue here is that over the web I cannot find a comprehensive guide on what exactly some parameters do.

Bootlooping with Magisk 19.3

I have installed TWRP 3.1.1-6 (latest version) and can successfully install Elemental 1.05 using TWRP, however, despite multiple attempts after installing Magisk 19.3 using TWRP, the phone always boot loops back into recovery and TWRP.

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Or are there compatibility issues?
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] vandyman:
Go to the Magisk thread and read the instructions. There you will find an answer that Magisk uninstaller my work for your issue.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] hga89:
I downloaded Magisk-uninstaller-20190604.zip and flashed it in TWRP. When rebooting, the phone booted into the Google setup screen. It thus seems the problem lies with Magisk.

I have downloaded Magisk 19.3 a second time, the size is the same but I will now try to flash that download in case there was an issued downloading it the first time. Same result, bootlooping into TWRP recovery.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sic0048:
I'm reaching for straws here, but you might as well try to install the latest Canary build of Magisk.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] hga89:
That would be version 19.4, correct? If so, I tried it with identical result...

[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] xFirefly93:
You have to patch the stock boot.img first through Magisk, flash the patched image thru fastboot, reboot and then flash EX as regularly by the use of EXKM.

Anyone have any ideas what could be going on?
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] flar2:
Probably a mismatch of firmware. Make sure you flash the lastest factory image and latest kernel.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] luigi90210:
Idk of this is a bug with the kernel or the software but I'm still getting the sleep bug on the August update.

Without ambient display enabled the phone screen will not turn on when in deep sleep overnight. The phone still responds cause it still vibrates when I double tap the power button to get access to the camera but the screen won't turn on and the only way to fix it is to hard reset.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] flar2:
I've never had that problem, I doubt it's kernel-related
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] arenaboy007:
Will these erase all my apps and data?
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] flar2:
No, as long as you remove the "-w" flag in the flashall script included with the factory image.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] luigi90210:
Well it's a well documented issue with the pixel 3a and 3a xl I didn't get the issue until 2 and a half weeks ago and I don't know what exactly caused it but the August update was supposed to fix it.

I can try reflashing the stock kernel to see if that fixes the issue but since enabling ambient display(which was the fix for the issue pre August update) fixes the issue I'm not 100% bothered by it.

Just figured I'd report what I am experiencing and thought maybe there is a driver or something that got updated in the August kernel, I'm not 100% sure though as I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this issue or if it's related to my device only at this point.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sic0048:
I have to assume this is a new bug that was introduced with the Aug update. You are not the only person to experience this. In fact I have as well. This is also different from the original bug that would cause the phone to appear to be unresponsive after sleeping for some period of time. I also experienced that bug a few times over the last few months and it is a different experience from this new bug. Although the new bug seems to be random in nature, it seems to occur more frequently that the original sleep bug as well from everything I have read.

It is certainly not related to this ExperimentalX kernel version. It is something else that Google introduced with the last update.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] luigi90210:
Does this occur on the stock kernel as well? I haven't tried the stock kernel so I wouldn't know if it's affected by it or not, all I know is that this is very similar to the old bug but instead of the phone becoming unresponsive it is responsive but it won't wait to display up.

Either way you're probably right but I haven't been reading anything about this new bug so I figure I'd post about it.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ctfrommn:
What method are you using to build your Q kernel? I've tried multiple methods with multiple different sources and I get either a non booting boot.img or a booting Image.lz4-dtb that isn't stable and reboots every couple minutes.

I know you said you're still on P but it seems like whatever you're building is stable on Q.

I really don't want to go back to Pie just to start development but I will if I can't get a working Q kernel.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] oranget:
Just curious.. what is the proper procedure for flashing when monthly security updates come out? Official OTA security update and then this kernel? Just some clarification would be helpful..thanks!
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sic0048:
Taking the OTA will replace any non-stock kernel with the stock kernel. Once you have taken the OTA, you will need to reflash this kernel. But keep in mind that a new OTA usually requires a new kernel version, so depending on how quickly you take the OTA you may have to wait for the kernel to be released. You can rock the stock kernel until a new release is available.
[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] oranget:
Thank you flar2! As usual your kernels are rock solid stable and Q beta is no different! I really appreciate your work for this device!!!

Also, is this upstreamed to the latest Linux version?

If not, maybe do that.

[Google Pixel 3a XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] sic0048:
TWRP does not currently work with Android 10. You must use an app to install the kernel. The easiest method is by using the ExperimentalX app, but I guess other apps like Flashify would work too.

I had wakelock with MM to no avail, still got crashes, etc.

Downgraded to Lollipop and also had to downgrade the bootloader as well.

Most of the problems went away. Installed WakeLock. NO more freezing / crashing.

With the exception of this problem - the phone does not reboot. If you shut it down, have to do a soft reset. Take out the battery, push the power button for a minute and then it boots. That's the only issue. Why does it do that?

With the phone shutdown, it does not even recognize the charger, or any button combination.

Hello guys,

I'm Rohan (aka erikkkkk & rohanpls), I maintain DotOS and Revenge OS (CAF edition) for Zenfone Max Pro M2.

As you all have been enlightened that I was working on building ROM for this device (from telegram group). I don't own this device but I figured a way to bring device tree and vendor sources for this device. Current status is that I couldn't make the kernel work (it's hard especially if you don't own the device).

I have stopped working on this for now because I am busy with exams, so I planned to make them public because if experienced kernel developer could take interest in making kernel work in the meantime then ROM would be ready. I will start working for device again once I am free. Device tree and vendor source is already ready, they just need to sync and build.

I brought TWRP for this device, and it will be OFFICIAL too.

Here are the sources:

Device tree:

https://github.com/rohanpls/android_device_asus_X01AD

Vendor Source:

https://github.com/rohanpls/vendor_asus_X01AD

For kernel devs to get started, Asus provided kernel source can be found at: https://www.asus.com/in/Phone/Zenfone-Max-M2-ZB632KL/HelpDesk_Download/

If any developer wants to contact me then pm me via telegram: Mod edit - Removed

Cheers!
