You can try to deactivate the vbmeta check before the first booting up right after sideloading the OTA beta 1, maybe that will let you boot without factory reset after vbmeta verify disabling.
Deactivate, you might need to factory reset if you don't follow the OTA-update/disable-before-first-boot procedure (fastboot -w for factory reset)

Only need to do the disabling when you're after taking an update from adb sideload, before the first boot. So no need to do it again.
Ok thanks for the reply and of course for the best Pixel 5 kernel.
Would I be able to flash this kernel over Elemental X ? I am currently rooted with Zygisk on Android 11 so I'm not sure if I will lose root if I flash the kernel... Also can somebody please provide me with the steps on how to flash the kernel ? I'm afraid I might mess something up

No root elevation (magisk) needed for all functions and preference switches through CS Config App
Release Calendar
Version 2.8.9 - 23 of Oct 2021
Version 1.8.5/2.8.5 - 19 of May 2021

Facts:
Feature demo
Requirements
- Unlocked Pixel 5, stock or with magisk root
- From Android S, vbmeta verification must be disabled. Download the stock full firmware for you phone, extract Vbmeta.img and do:
--- In Android S, you might need to do a factory reset when disabling Verity after the system booted before with vbmeta enabled! If it doesn't boot with corruption problem, you need to do a factory reset with 'fastboot -w'Code:fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.img
--- When updating with next OTA on Android S, I recommend to 'adb sideload ota.zip' and then BEFORE booting, go to Bootloader and with latest Vbmeta.img, make sure to switch off verity again with fastboot flashing vbmeta again, and boot only after that. That way factory reset won't be necessary it seems by experience so far.
- BACKUP: make sure you have a stock image downloaded (boot img) from Google (https://developers.google.com/android/images) before installing this!
Installation Guide
- For SafetyNet, Adblocking, after flashing you might need to restart the phone after the first boot, otherwise it might not work.
- If using Companion App for notification / gesture etc features, there's a setting in the app to Switch off Proximity sensor while Screen is on. This will prevent the flickering, but Face down screen off feature won't work
Known bugs
- None, please tell
- please disable magisk modules before reporting issues, and please provide logs if possible
- if it cannot boot at all after flash because of signature verification, read vbmeta requirements (Android S)

Thanks can you do version without safetynet for us using kdrag0n mod?

You can use kdrag0n mod right away, it's supposedly going to work with this kernelThanks can you do version without safetynet for us using kdrag0n mod?
Also way to update our own host files for adaway?
Own host file is not possible without security compromises, so I avoid that in the kernel. For that you can switch off kernel based ad block and use some magisk based solution.
I use kdrag0n 2.2.0 (latest paid version) with zygisk and CTS profile failed. With patched stock kernel it passed.
Thanks
I'm looking into this, to make it work with kdragons module so that with magisk it could work together and pass it. The kernel in itself on a12 won't work like it worked on a11 standalone passing the CTS.
On a12 I see no way yet to make that kernel only, so unfortunately magisk and kdragons module will be needed. I'll release a test build to see if it works together that way in a few days.
Thanks mate! Looking forward to it.
Just purchased both your apps off playstore about 40 minutes ago too to thank you for your work!
Important notice
There's a major change in CleanSlate Config and CleanSlate Companion app starting from now on Pixel4XL / 5 and later Pixel 6 Pro devices.To retain the compatibility with older kernel versions / devices, the App will be released as a Beta program on Play Store and as new Free version on the XDA threads where the kernel supports the new CleanSlate app versions.
For further releases a new version will be a must have to configure / use the kernel features.
Because of the stricter Play Store minimum android SDK level, the Apps configuration file handling needed an update, and the path to those files cannot remain the Internal Storage root folder.
In order to use any further newer version of this kernel released from now on, you should either update the Free version from the download links provided later, or if using the Premium app, you'll need to Join the Beta program on Google Play Store like seen below.
URLs for Premium app beta program for later joining from browser or phone

Migration of configs
Also if you want to migrate configuration files, you can do so with a File manager like CX File Manager. Copy files from Internal Storage root folder /sdcard/uci_user.cfg and /sdcard/cleanslate folder to:/sdcard/Android/data/org.cleanslate.csconfig/cache/
Joinging the Beta program process screenshots
Here is how it looks joining the Beta program. Can take a few minutes.But only update when the new kernel version is released here which supports the Beta version:

Created 2020-11-209Hello @tbalden
I don't know if this is something you're already working on, but once your kernel is updated to use Boot Image Header Version 4 disabling verity/verification should no longer be necessary.
We had to do this with Magisk before the fix was implemented in Canary 23016. I wonder if their commit notes could be of any use. It isn't the modified boot image itself that trips verity; it's when the boot image header doesn't pass integrity. Magisk 23001-23015 did not properly preserve the boot image header, so the image wouldn't boot unless verity was disabled.
This is a relatively minor issue that, once fixed, should allow all your users to easily flash your kernel just like any other boot image.
Also, some clarification on the vbmeta data wipe requirement:
- If it's the first time disabling verity/verification and /data is populated, a wipe will be required.
- If verity/verification were disabled on the previous flash, disabling again won't require a wipe as long as the device is not permitted to boot without verity disabled.
- If verity/verification were disabled previously, and the user forgets to disable verity again and the device is allowed to boot, a wipe will be required to disable it again.
- After OTA update, the system expects to see a match between the boot image and system; if there is a mismatch, system decides it was a bad flash and bootloops back to the original (non-updated) slot
- Therefore, after OTA update, the device must be allowed to boot the stock boot image at least once
- The OTA process does not permit disabling verity/verification while updating; this must be done by rebooting to bootloader and reflashing vbmeta manually; if this step is skipped, a custom kernel cannot be used
- The factory update on the other hand simply overwrites system and doesn't care about the boot image version when the device boots
- Verity/verification can be disabled as part of the factory update process; there is no need to reflash vbmeta manually
- Download and extract the factory image.
- Update bootloader and radio if necessary (just compare last 4 of version numbers, if different, update and reboot to bootloader). Update will fail if the package includes updated bootloader/radio.
- Dirty flash the factory image:
Code:
fastboot update device-image-buildnumber.zip --disable-verity --disable-verification --skip-reboot - Allow the update to complete; when it does, you'll be in fastbootd. Select "Reboot to bootloader"
- Flash CleanSlate kernel and reboot to system.
7Edit: removing the release for now, sorry, it causes issues on boots. Please revert to previous version.Add SafetyNet fix + Fingerprint + February images
- Update Android R Stable - 1.7.2 -
- New: special in-built version of @kdrag0n 's SafetyNet fix for keystore fallback
--- baked into the kernel, no Magisk needed to fully pass CTS profile and Basic SN
--- those who have a phone where Hardware attestation now fails, should pass the test with this
--- use the boot image provided and after flashing and first boot do a reboot again, so the fix can work forward on
- New: add Fingeprint gesture: Stock Swipe Up/Down option (new config app needed!)
--- use normal fp tap for special gestures, and swipes for notification area stock gestures
- Updating to latest adblocking hosts files from Steven Black/AdAway/yoyo repos
