you don't use pixel flasher to install it, you would use kernel flasher on device

Hi,

Got myself new pixel 8 pro.

What are the steps to install this kernel?

I've got bootloader unlocked.

Thank you!

From the OP:

Disclaimer:

If your device fails to comply with your standards of what you consider functioning, I am not liable. This is provided free of charge and does not come with a warranty. Although, if you provide a log, I can provide some sort of assurance that I will look into your issue.

You must have verity and verification disable to flash this for the time being!

To do so you will need to flash vbmeta.img using the command below followed by wiping the device.

fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img --disable-verity --disable-verification

Installation:

-Download ZIP for kernel and flash with Kernel Flasher
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] MichelitoVqs:
Anyone have build this kernel with kernelsu? :-)
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] LimitsX:
Does it specify to root? No. Does it mention what ver of magisk? No.

I've flashed kernels without root on my other android devices.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] kkjb:
Sorry to hear you are so misinformed on Pixel kernels and flashing requirements.

Sounds like you have not modified a pixel in a long time. Yes to use kernel flasher you must have root. Magisk is a choice of different types.. could use 26.4, or the other derivatives. Depends again on your goals. To flash this kernel verity must disabled. Your remarks to others who have tried to explain seems... Unfounded. Please read much more on what you want on how to achieve your goals.

Edit 1... here's the kernel flasher link

Hello everyone,

I'm a little confused, I received my p8p, I loaded it fully, rooted it with the guide available here : root guide

I have magisk/lsposed / safetynet etc etc etc.

Everything is functional.

I flashed the 2 SLOTs via the OTA method in the tutorial.

I can change slots on the fly without problems, and it boots with the commands:

My issue is the following :

When I flash the custom kernel, my other slot no longer boots. Is this normal?

We can't flash the 2 slots?

If you have the answer, my brain will be relieved :)

thank you

Warning: system_dlkm_a replaced in super. Reboot before further logical partition operations.

While I can't answer exactly the reasons why you can't flash kernel on one slot or boot "stock" on the

other.

I think once you flash this the pointer is kept for the current active slot... and will not allow the other to boot.

In my mind it's because there is not a exact mirror (2) of the needed file locations on slot a or b.

Please remember trying to believe you can go from slot to slot is only on Factory ota.. That update is specifically designed to allow upon flashing the opposite slot and upon reboot that becomes the active slot. Forcing a boot on the inactive slot is gambling for trouble and a unresponsive soft brick.

Recovery then would be a complete flash of current version of Factory images.

I may be partially wrong. Just a heads up
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] webleeper:
I thought I was doing something wrong as I got this message and was able to flash the kernel but not boot after flashing this kernel using Kernel Flasher.

The install instructions say:

- Download ZIP for kernel and flash with Kernel Flasher

Is there something additional that needs to be done in order to be able to boot afterwards?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] LoVerMaKi:
Thank you very much for the quick response @kkjb .

Actually I believed that the 2 SLOTS were “real” distinct and independent locations because my old phone was a realme x2 pro, no custom kernel, and not much ROM available. And before that I had a Samsung S7 edge. So I'm a little disappointed with the "novelties" based on "slots" etc etc

I'm going to reflash the kernel tonight :)

Thanks again
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] finkrer:
If anyone wondered whether this fixes the scroll lag that stock has, it does not (QPR2, kernel v2.02). It seems to be better, but that's just "seems" and it's definitely still there.

The performance governor (max frequencies all the time) makes it much better, but even then it's not perfect. The battery life is surprisingly ok with the CPU blasting 24/7. I wish this had input boost settings to at least only do this when I scroll.

There must be some serious issue with the Tensor chip or this phone's drivers or whatever if it's still laggy at max frequency. HWUI is showing huge spikes in render times that other phones don't have.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] kkjb:
Did you follow this information in the disclaimer bullet on first post?

+++ You must have verity and verification disable to flash this for the time being +++

Beyond this if you follow the instructions, use the links from my previous posts.

As a little information... For it seems a few new owners of pixel 8pro. Please read the very detailed posts/ threads in the main threads here.

I feel that if you inform yourself by getting up to speed on the Pixel platform especially Tensor limitations.

This kernel is a improvement. You will never turn this CPU into a top tier CPU. Pixels are all about the software. Pixel Tensor Hardware has always been about the software to create the pixel magic.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] JustNabus:
Is there a changelog where we can see what modifications the kernel does ?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] finkrer:
It's not wise to tell people to be content when they complain about an actual issue tracked by Google. This CPU is very much capable of smooth scrolling. Even the previous Tensor chips have no trouble with it. It's a bug, not Pixel magic.

I was just wondering if DespairFactor has found a way to solve the issue before Google does. They did not, oh well.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] swieder711:
Just flashed 2.02 on stock January update. Seems to boot fine.

Now I know why I'm so confused. Too many pre-requirements to flash this kernel. I was afraid to drop a comment and ask, thankfully someone did.

Hello, before continuing I must clarify that I am using Google Translate to write this post, sorry if something is not understood.

It turns out that I recently installed the EvolutionX rom on my X3 Pro, but when I tried to connect my device to the PC, it doesn't recognize my phone. The fast charging works fine but the only thing is that I can't connect my Poco to the computer. I should mention that I already tried with other type C cables and it is the same, I also already activated USB debugging and configured file transfer in "Miscellaneous Settings", I don't understand why my PC still doesn't recognize my Poco, I think it may be something rom error. If anyone knows anything about this topic, I would appreciate it if you could add something.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] NeftaliSanchez:
Hello, thank you very much for the welcome brother.

I think the failure may be due to a hardware problem, perhaps the charging port is damaged, since by chance my Pocophone got a little wet when I was washing the dishes at home, although I'm not really sure if that's the reason because the fast charging works well. Maybe it could be an error in the installation of the rom.

[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
The Pixel 4a is Treble compliant and as such can run a GSI, meaning that ROMs don't have to be ported to this device. There are many GSIs available. I'm not sure if there's a PixelOS GSI but I doubt it would be hard to build.

That is why I would like to ask you, if it is possible to install/flash a different version of android to this tablet, so that I can continue in the development of my app.

I also found out that it is rooted and it's OEM loader is unlocked.

i am having inconveniences during discord calls where the earpiece speaker is being disabled while the proximity sensor is covered. uncovering the sensor re enables the speaker. this is very annoying when playing games. i want to know if there is a way to stop this from happening.

on a side note, is there a way to have discord not use the "call audio channel" ( best way i can describe it) so my audio quality isn't totally destroyed? there is a vendetta plugin that works for bluetooth audio but when using phone speakers it is very quiet, and i still get the proximity sensor issue mentioned above.

[G1 Android Development] Gary13579:
HTC can have Google change the private keys of their bootloader with no consequences. HTC/T-Mobile is the only one that uses them, so they'd just have to check which version to use before reflashing. If it's an older phone, use the older version.

Basically, the cupcake build can include new keys which would make this .nbh useless.

From what I can disect from the file it includes t-mobiles shipped SPL, so if flashed and you have a eng bootloader or a dev phone it might overwrite your fallback bootloader!!!! :-)

To the Poster, if you had access to this version can you see if you can get for us any earlier version before rc30, and or rc8 for uk phones. This would be most excellent and allow us to revert all rc30 rc8 phones.

[G1 Android Development] :
hey JF, went to try this on the g1 that i toasted, formatted the sd card fat32, added the DREAIMG.nbh to the card and booted to the bootloader, still failed, do you think that because it was not fat32 the first time i tried, i killed the phone completely?
[G1 Android Development] JesusFreke:
no, it shouldn't matter that it was fat the first time.

What did it say when it failed? just "could not find file", or whatever? or did it actually start applying it, and then show an error?
