Is the EX Kernel Manager not compatible with the kernel yet?

I open the app and theres only Elemental X, CPU Times, Battery Monitor, Settings and About in the left sidebar.
Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app but still those 5 items only.

EDIT:
Ok, I flashed stock boot, then Magisk, then EX kernel, all via the TWRP 3.1.1 beta.
Found out I lost root.
Reboot to TWRP, found out I lost TWRP.

Man! This Pixel 2 is hard to figure out.
Still don't understand the rules and order of flashing stuff on it.

EDIT2:
Went and go through the steps of fastbooting TWRP and installing TWRP again.
Then installed Magisk via the installed TWRP and now I'm stuck at the boot logo G with the animating line.

EDIT3:
Ok, wiped caches via TWRP and I got back into the OS!
Have root and the EX Kernel Manager is behaving as usual.
Flashing stuff just got harder.

Is the download page correctly labeled? It says the kernel is for the Pixel sailfish, not walleye.

Also, is it possible to just flash the .img via fastboot? Wouldn't like to install TWRP at the moment.

AndroidFileHost doesn't have a page for walleye

You don't need to install TWRP, just fastboot boot TWRP and then install the zip.

Is there a way to install w/ out TWRP?

No.

Just fastboot boot TWRP and install


There is no need to install TWRP on this device, it's better if you just boot it.

Okay. Do you know what order I should do if just booting twrp, and wanting to root via magisk?

Would I flash the kernel or magisk.zip first?

I flashed the kernel first, and then Magisk 14.5. Everything is working just fine.

Nice to see you here. Your Kernel for the Pixel and HTC 10 was awesome. Thanks for your hard work to give us a better phone!

Is it possible to make another sensor entry without the required permission for the elmyra sensor?

I can listen to the event it fires fine as a system app.

 

[alibotan]

What about the battery life? ?

 

[LukLak19]

What about the battery life?

Same as stock for me

 

[RogersJZach]

Yes, I just have no experience with it

Is there a way to install w/ out TWRP?

Welp, there is more than one way to install a ROM. Just getting TWRP/A recovery is 100% easier and more time efficient. To answer your question simply, yes. Yes there is.
