All future discussion will happen in the Pixel 2 XL thread as the kernel is fully unified!

I'll be flashing this the second I get home. Used the kernel on my 6P and it was rock solid. Looking forward to getting it on my device!

I see you mention that the kernel is based on 4.4.97 but I am running the latest build (025) and kernel version says 4.4.56, but I guess it is still ok to install?
Also, have anyone tried to patch the boot image with Magik?

Were you flashing the boot image with fastboot? It should be 4.4.97.

I actually downloaded the full ROM from Google and used the boot image from the zip file and tried to patch the boot image using Magisk but that did not work. So I am checking other methods..

But strange that the version does not match...

Found a newer version of Magisk Manager and patched your boot image and now I have root and running your kernel...

So you have to have the boot.img on your phone for magisk to patch it, then do you need to transfer that boot.img to your computer where you can use fastboot to flash it while in the bootloader?

Yes, that's correct..

Patched with Magisk 14.4 from Pixel 2 XL thread and fastboot flashed on November 8.0 stock
All good, SafetyNet passed. I'll be testing for stability and report back.
Thanks Nathan!

The OP says:

Security and stability are paramount. Vulnerabilities are patched as soon as they are disclosed.

Does this mean, for example, that something like the Krack vulnerability would have been patched much sooner than with Google's montly security patch? Or is this kernel dependent on waiting for Google's monthly releases first?

As @Natakranta said, the fact I have kernel source means I am free to update literally whenever I want. So as soon as I see a fix for a vulnerability available, I will queue it up and release it with the next kernel.

@nathanchance Good to see you here

canibuz · Nov 9, 2017

It's been stable for me and it's the end of the day for me usually my phone is dying or dead before I get to my car. And I am at 18% unlocking the doors now. ?

Wakelock control? I have installed exkm and was wondering if every known wakelocks in the app can be blocked without consequences? Or is there some that should not be blocked?

I don't block any wakelocks by default on purpose; they shouldn't really be disabled because 1. they don't make that much of a difference and 2. they are usually needed for the device to function properly. But any of the ones that EXKM shows by default should be okay to disable.

xda890 · Nov 10, 2017

Yes, I know they are needed but just thought I would try to disable those with most wakelocks and see if I noticed any difference..

Ashray_Vk · Nov 10, 2017

Hi,

Thanks for coming in to support this device!

Was just wondering if it would be possible to add sound control, something like faux sound or boeffla sound or wodoo ( or the other ones around which increase the analog gain )

Thanks again!
Ash
