I just flashed 2.06 to my 8pro. I have brightness and no audio through speakers issues with this kernel. Any chance ex manager backed up my kernel first?

Gentlemen, I'm green. So far I have uploaded a custom rom via twrp. I currently have os 18.1 lineage and uploaded by adb. How do I make copies of the kernel of what I have so that I can come back in case I need to. And how to upload this one? Like rom by adb? Do i need magisk to work this kernel?

I'm afraid I have to abandon this great kernel after using it for more than 10 years (first HDC, later Pixel and now One+8
It doens't look like Oneplus makes it possible anymore to launch it so the kernel manager is unnecessary now.
So I don't receive any notifications if there's un update in the future. Sad!
Thanks flar2 for your good work all those years, your loyalty and all the efforts to keep the Kernel up to date.

I would like to report one issue. Namely, the memory write speed is very slow. On stock kernel the write speed reaches over 700MB / s, on elementalx 2.06 it reaches max 250MB / s. I checked it several times. I even monitored the I / O using fkm. Is it possible to fix this? Elementalx is a very good kernel. It has a much smaller active drain and idle drain. It also has a wakelocks blocker. Also write and read speed is lower than stock.

    I 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.

    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 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:

    It's either that or also could be the audio modules. I seem to recall ending up in download mode once while fooling around with the audio modules.

    @czerdrill, @old_fart can you please report exactly steps how you backup and restore through the exkm app ( before getting crashdump)
    Are you sure you didn't try to restore a backup from a previous oos ?

    That's i believe the issue...
    Most custom kernels are using custom dtbo
    So users when they restoring stock kernel through your app the stock dtbo it doesn't be restored...
    It will be very useful to add a dtbo.img backup ..

    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.


    I go to kernel backup, click the saved backup i have and say yes to restore. I want to be clear i don't think it's ekxms fault either, it's something i did I'm sure. It's possible i restored from an earlier version although i make it a habit to backup after each update.

    In another instance i restored the stock kernel and lost wifi and lte. Was only able to get them back after flashing elemental again.

    I don't know what I'm doing wrong but was just sharing my experience.

    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.

    If the problem is flashing alternate dtbo.img from other kernels, perhaps I will add a dtbo partition backup to EXKM as well, that way you can save the stock dtbo.img before flashing other kernels. You would need that for compatibility with ElementalX as well.
