How do you download a previous version? They are all listed in the app, but I can only download the latest version which kicks me to fastboot. I am assuming that it isn't compatible with the may 05 security update of Pixel Experience(4.14.257) (which has not released a later version yet. I assume I need the P4-3.14 version, but have no way to get it. (I had my boot backed up so I was able to get back to my 'stock' pixel experience rom.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Curiousn00b:
Are you using the latest Magisk by any chance?

It seems to be a bit of miss(mainly a miss right now) for me. Revert back to v24.3 to get custom roms to work properly.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] JakeDHS07:
Will there be a new kernel required for July @flar2 or can we continue using the current one?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] flar2:
New build will be up soon, as usual. Generally the older builds still work, but occasionally there are bigger changes
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] JakeDHS07:
Just figured I'd ask and check before I risked bricking. Will wait for the update. Thanks mate 💪 The other reason I asked is because I know sometimes there is no kernel update needed and I didn't want to be waiting for one that wasn't gonna happen 😅

Works fine for me

After OTA updating from A11 to A12 Im unable to flash the latest A12 kernel using EXKM.

Im rooted using Magisk (ver 25.2) in case that makes any difference.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] flar2:
No idea. Make sure you have the latest EXKM and latest Magisk. I just flashed the kernel on Android 12 and 13 on this device today.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Mrzapa:
Using 4.0 on A13 working great, out of interest do you use any specific settings on EX Kernel Manager or just leave untouched? @flar2
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] JakeDHS07:
Where did you get 4.0? EXKM is still showing 3.16 as latest for me.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Mrzapa:
Just shows for me in EXKM on A13
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] JakeDHS07:
Yeah apparently you had to already be on the A13 update for it to show. I was hoping to download it before as I disable all internet before updating to preserve SafetyNet passing. Once all custom kernels and patches are reinstalled after update then I reenable internet and everything still works.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Mrzapa:
Are you passing play integrity? I can't figure out how to pass that. Device shows as uncertified in play store regardless. I'm using safety net fix mod and passing safety net.

Are you using the HBM app in conjunction with the kernel so you can toggle it?

Thanks flar! nice to see you on the 4!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] lattosimbaste:
HBM doesn't work for me with or without the HBM app, enabling actually dims the display a bit. Using Franco's manager I see a slight boost in brightness.

Works fine on Pixel 3a.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] flar2:
I know it doesn't work, and I won't be able to fix it because I only have the XL version. I need the hardware to do stuff like this.

Fkm is just turning on stock hbm, which is pretty much useless.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] lattosimbaste:
Thanks, I wish I could spare my phone for a while and send it your way. And yes FKM isn't doing much at all and lacks all-red display astronomy mode which is much more important to me.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tysj:
FKM has Astronomy mode in the latest update.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] flar2:
Okay, that's nice. However, I would suggest supporting EXKM since I am the one that comes up with many of the kernel mods that we enjoy. What has franco done lately other copy all my stuff? Does he even bother to update his kernels?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] tysj:
Sorry for interrupting the thread. Didn't mean anything negative by it. I've already bought your app and have supported your kernel dev for as long as I can remember (maybe way back to Nexus 5).
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] the.emilio:
What settings are y'all rocking with this? I installed the kernel and haven't adjusted any governors or other characteristics.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CyberpodS2:
Historically (my last 4 phones) the dev here advises leaving things pretty much the way they come so you're on target from that perspective. Almost every situation where tweaking something actually causes a net gain in some metric, it's situational to that user and very well may do nothing or even the opposite for someone else.

Ex: I tend to handicap my phone when I'm at work as I need it to last 12 hour shifts. Anything I do would be counter intuitive to someone who has ready access to keep it charged.

In regards to your specific mention of governors, the stock Google setup is extremely efficient!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] alwynjoshy:
If you are on February OTA update then Dont flash to 1.05.be on march OTA or else kernal will broke the wifi,face unlock
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] chazall1:

[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] kiefferbp:
No issues here...
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] eg1122:
No issues on my end. Bad flash? Are you flashing over another kernel or over stock? Bad download? I would try going back to stock and trying again. Make sure you guys are on March OTA.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] teradark:
It broke, sound and face unlock for me. Had to flash back to stock. Most likely have to to update first before installing new updated elemental.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] alwynjoshy:
Flashing over older version elementlX 1.04. Flashed twise same wifi issue. Flashed back to v1. 04. I was on February OTA update. System didn't show any march OTA
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] eg1122:
1.05 is based on March OTA, that's probably why it breaks those things.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] alwynjoshy:
Do you use magisk, if you do you will flash system only by changing commands on RunAll.bat file?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] eg1122:
I do use magisk. If you remove the -w, flashing the system zip will act like taking an ota. Boot.img will be stock once you boot up. You will need to patch it via magisk and flash via fastboot to regain root. I recommend you disabled your magisk modules before updating
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ZeroKool76:
Lemme preface my statement with this. This should probably be posted in every kernel/rom thread, as it is not specific to this kernel. Ok, so we all expect Google to release a stable product at the beginning of the month. We also expect our custom developers to do the same. So, let me ask this. Is it not fair that they would expect the same level of effort from us? If users put in a bit more effort, then half of these bug reports would be non existent. Now that that is out of the way, lets get started. Whenever a new monthly patch comes out, the first thing I check is the bootloader and radio, using Flars Devcheck Pro app(shameless plug). If they are both the same, I flash the OTA as usual and carry on with my day. I then start reading the threads to see if there have been any changes that would affect the kernel. Once I find that out, if there haven't been changes, I flash as usual. If there have been, I wait til they release a proper build. That's one scenario that never fails. Now, getting back to the BL and radio. If there have been changes, I grab the factory image and just flash those two, no need to flash the whole thing, the OTA has all the same necessary files in it. I then proceed to flash the OTA and revert to my previous activity of checking threads for any possible kernel changes that are required. If you follow that procedure, or something along those lines, you will NEVER have these issues. The bottom line is, users need to be more diligent, instead of blindly flashing and then blaming issues on the developer.

How can you post don't update to 1.05? Everything's working fine for me and I think for the majority of everyone.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] alwynjoshy:
It was a advice. Because me and other 3 got the issue. So i posted it. I know it was the issue with the ota, use has to be on march ota to get it work. I will edit the post

I'm not new to rooting and everyone of my phones for years now has had the bootloader unlocked...and this may seem like a dumb question do I have to have root on my pixel 4 xl to flash this kernel, because I'm on stock google latest March update non rooted and when I installed ex kernel manager it lets me know there is an update of elemental x kernel ready to be downloaded and installed on my device so I guess this is the reason I'm asking do I have to have root, I know I've flashed kernels before that where pre rooted so I just was curious...thanks in advance for the help
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
If you want to flash the kernel per-se, then yes you would need to be rooted to flash it with the EXKM app since we don't have twrp. However, you could adb sideload the kernel as well. However, you will not be able to take advantage of the custom kernel features. It would just basically be a custom stock kernel so to speak. :good:
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] jmac052002:
I appreciate the reply , here's my other issue I would actually prefer being rooted but I kept getting an error returned in fastboot saying (boot partition not found) I have the latest platform tools installed on my windows 10 laptop and I believe I have my path right, I mean I can run adb and fastboot commands and my phone is detected but it kept giving me the same error ....I actually haven't tried since I have taken the latest March update, but this was on the January update I believe and I got frustrated and decided I'd try again now that I'm on newest update....anything I'm missing here?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] CyberpodS2:

Can you flash the kernel through the app without root (im unlocked)? Or is root only needed to adjust settings?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Sorry, but you need to be rooted to accomplish what you want.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] sruel3216:
Thanks. I was rooted previously and seemed like my battery was worse. I clean flashed and wanted to try ElementalX without root. Is there a boot.img for the kernel?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Badger50:
Unfortunately, no. However, you could side load the kernel zip via adb. :good:

The app thinks R Preview is still Android 10. I don't know if the kernel will work or not.

Hey [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] just flashed your kernel true ex kernel app. My phone freezes and gets unresponsive then bootloop.

Don't know what can cause that. Should I reflash?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] flar2:
Reflash the stock boot.img and then make sure you flash the correct version of EX kernel. If on Android R, you can only flash the latest on DP 4. If you are on Android 10, make sure you are on the latest May security patch level. Google keeps rebasing with upstream, so it's not like other pixel phones where you could flash anything
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] krabban:

[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dave457:
Great Kernel. I have been using it for a while. Originally on Nexus 6P, then Pixel 2, 3 and now 4XL.

I'm not a great tweaker and I tend to use the kernel for colour correction to suit my taste (Advanced Color control)

One thing I would love to see is a widget for "High brightness mode" because often when using the camera (Android 10 at the moment) the Pixel screens are not the brightest in direct sunlight. A quick touch on a desktop widget would help the issue.

Edit: I just found out there is one :)
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] krabban:
so i just flash this

QQ2A.200501.001.B2, May 2020, All carriers except TW

then reflash stock boot.img ?

sorry for my noobiness :D
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] JakeDHS07:
If you flash that it will also flash the stock boot IMG as it's contained within it. You will lose root though and need z modified boot.img to regain root as we do not have twrp currently
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] flar2:
1. Flash the factory image, let it boot up and make sure it's working. MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE "-w" from the flash-all script or it will wipe your data

2. Then open up the factory image zip, find boot.img and copy it to your phone

3. Install the latest Magisk, use magisk to patch the boot.img that you copied to your phone. Magisk will make a file called /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched.img

4. Copy it to your PC, reboot to fast boot and flash it:

fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img

Now you're rooted and can do whatever you want. So install EX kernel Manager, make a backup of your current stock rooted kernel, then install ElementalX kernel. It will automatically offer the correct version.

Make sure you also keep the original boot.img, as you can use EXKM to flash that back and get the OTA. Then you can use Magisk to re-root before the update reboots.
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ANDR01DN00B:
So I wanted to try this out on RDP4, so I went ahead and installed EXKM and flashed the latest kernel. I lost magisk/root in the process and I'm not entirely sure how to get it back. Can someone help me out?

TIA!
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] flar2:
Strange, you shouldn't lose root. In any case, patch the stock boot.img in Magisk, flash it in fastboot and you will be rooted again. After that, flash ElementalX again
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ANDR01DN00B:
It seems that something within Magisk is broken. I reflashed factory images (including -w), patched boot.img and installed it and Magisk says that the installed status is "N/A."

EDIT: Nevermind. I don't know exactly what I did but I got it to work. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Ashray_Vk:

Some of you may remember a few years ago I had an app called Wake Gestures. It stopped working and I never got around to fixing it, but I left the wake gestures function in most of my kernels. Good news for those who liked that app, I've added support for Wake Gestures to Button Mapper and it is supported on the Pixel 4 as well as almost every other phone with sweep2wake built into the kernel (root is required)

Wake Gestures allows you to set an action for a swipe in any direction or a double tap, while the screen is off. The actions can be anything from basic stuff like toggling the flashlight or wifi, to broadcasting custom intents or executing root commands. Lots of possibilities.

You need version 1.45 of Button Mapper, which is only on XDA Labs for now:

https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/flar2.homebutton

PS: Button Mapper also allows remapping of Active Edge and Motion Sense
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] fuarkgl3:
Hey, i was about to try the motion sense gestures but I can't unlock it as shown in screenshot. Any workaround?

[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] GokuSSJgod:
Total noob question. If someone flashes this kernel and then wants the stock kernel where do they get that? This is my first phone without CWM or TWRP so it's strange to me not being able to make a backup before flashing a new kernel or ROM.

Does anyone know if Android 11 will push back TWRP progress further than it already did with Android 10?
[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] flar2:
You can get the factory image here:

https://developers.google.com/android/images

You can get the boot.img in the zip file, which is the stock kernel, and can be flashed in fastboot mode or through EX Kernel Manager if you are rooted with Magisk

I haven't rooted a phone in a long time and I have a question about power limits / tdp.

Is it possible to reduce the Power limit of the Snapdragon SoCs like you can do in Desktop PC's CPUs and GPUs? (Example, on Nvidia/AMD GPUs you can limit the "power limit" (max watts) the GPU can draw from the power supply; On AMD Ryzen CPUs you can limit the package power by reducing something called "PPT" (Package Power Tracking) also based in Watts limits )

I wonder if this can be done in a Snapdragon 855. (Note: Not Undervolt or Underclock, just the limit of power can be pulled from battery)

The reason I'm asking this is because I wonder how much impact in battery life you can gain, in a day, by reducing the power limit of the CPU / GPU in the SoC. And how much this could affect the smoothness when you are still forcing 90Hz.

Thanks!
