[KERNEL] [April 4] OnePlus 8 Pro ElementalX 2.06
- Thread starter flar2
- Start date
I have no idea what ROMs it will or won't work with, there are too many. For many years now, my kernels are made to work with stock ROMs.

Yep but as the apps installed surely there should be a validity check for the OS in use on that device right?
Just flashed your kernel after a long time. Nice to be back here. Everything is running fine. More feedback soon.
Hi, is anyone using this on the 8t? If so how is it compared to radioactive kernel? I saw radioactive is no longer being maintained and im looking for an alternative.
Get the app, if it offers it and you're on stock then it'll work
Significant update to EX Kernel Manager version 5.70. Now you can choose a directory for kernel downloads and backups. This will make it a lot easier to access your kernel backups and kernel downloads.
This required a lot of refactoring and new code, so let me know if there are problems.
Also, please check out my new app, it's the ultimate apk tool, app manager and backup solution. You can tag and backup your apps, including data. It can install, analyze and extract split APKs, XAPK, APKM, etc. It will show you the most detailed info about any app or apk, including the full manifest.

Last Kernel for OP8T (ElementalX-OP8-2.04-express) for Oxygen11 (11.0.8.14.KB05BA) works fine but has a weird behaviour regarding charging with other than the warp charger coming with the device (warp65).
1. Common charger (no warp /dash feature):
In no third party battery monitoring app the charging progress is shown/recognized by the app (i.e. 3c Battery Monitor Widget - https://is.gd/3PzTmvor - or Battery Widget Reborn - https://is.gd/r3RqgZPro).
2. Plugged with the warp charger (65W) coming with the phone:
All works fine and could be monitored via all battery apps.
3. Plugged with other warp/dash charger (i.e. 30w or dash charger for older OP devices):
Same as described for common charger, no monitoring of charging progress possible.
As written charging works but no monitoring except with plugged 65W warp charger.
Checked with stock kernel: Charging progress shown with any charger, dash, warp, common in any monitoring app.
Checked with bluspark kernel: like stock.
So maybe you can have a look or if I can do anything to help let me know because ElementalX is my very really very favorite kernel.

Last Updated 2020-08-038I might be able to shed a bit of light.
The QCom CrashDump Mode seems to be due to a kernel or dtbo mismatch, for example @mauronofrio and I noticed it when the kernel was updated between OOS versions but not in TWRP's .img. The solution was to always use the latest prebuilt stock kernel and use the one from India, IIRC.
So, if I had to guess why restoring a kernel backup might cause this issue, I'd probably think perhaps the user made that backup before getting an OTA or something, so once they went to restore it it wasn't for the correct OOS version anymore.
So none of that would be flar2 or EXKM's fault, but more on the end user for not understanding how their device behaves or updating their backups.7Some 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 OnePlus 8 series 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. OnePlus has basically the same feature, but Button Mapper lets you assign basically any action. 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:

No kernel on the OP8 Pro Forums is flashing a custom dtbo.img as far as I can see. Feel free to double check.
Most kernels include custom dtb in their AK installers. Some kernels might flash them to the wrong place (appended dtb), instead of the new separate dtb section introduced in Android 10.
Restoring the correct stock boot.img will overwrite these changes however, as the dtb is still part of the boot.img unlike a custom dtbo.img. So I don´t see this problem being caused by restoring a boot.img.
What can cause problems indeed like @osm0sis mentioned is restoring a boot.img that doesn´t match either the firmware variant (ba, aa, etc) or that is not matching the correct firmware version such as flashing 10.5.6 vs 10.5.9 and having a mismatch there.
Using the dtb from 10.5.6 on a device running 10.5.9 will result in a crashdump screen as described by users. I tested this myself since it took OnePlus a week to update the source. Once I removed the dtb from my AK3 zip, I was able to boot a 10.5.6 source built kernel Image with 10.5.9 dtb.
I saw quite a few posts where people uploaded a boot.img for other users without detailing the variant specifically for example.
I advise everybody to take their own backups of their boot.img´s and not rely on others. It´s good practice and can help you to recover your device.
Another thing to keep in mind that maybe not everybody is aware of when taking their own backups, which can result in mismatching boot.imgs:
If you flash an OTA via OnePlus Updater and backup the boot.img without doing a complete reboot after the OTA, you will end up with a boot.img from the OLD firmware not the updated one if I´m not mistaken. @flar2 can gladly correct me here, but I think EXKM always backs up the active slot.
So if you´re on slot a, flash OTA via OnePlus Updater (this is flashed to slot b), go to EXKM to backup the boot.img you will end up with a backup of the outdated firmware, since slot a is still the active one. The OS switches slots on the reboot following the OTA Update.
You´re probably restoring a mismatching boot.img. This results in modmagic for kernel modules failing (stock kernels have modmagic enabled) and the WLAN driver cannot be loaded.
EX-Kernel disables this modmagic check for kernel modules, hence WiFi works fine for you again.
You need to flash exactly the same boot.img from the firmware you´re running to get back to stock.
