i just wake up from my hibernation after 4 years not doing this things
it arouse me to do so

hope you can help for further process if i get the issue, seems that i should learn everything from the beginning

well, i read the post this ROG3 can be relock bootloader, is it so real?

one thing for sure, i do read this thread from the first page then this kernel has ability seamlessly for banking apps
i'm afraid one of banking apps/electronic money apps of my country tracking not from root/not, but from bootloader

Yes, you can relock the phone.
Yes, newer banking apps try to detect boot loader state, and this is where the custom kernel helps, faking the bootloader state as much as possible.
That's how safetynet test also passes as of now, and so banking apps so far usually work. I also use two banking apps that usually wouldn't work without the custom kernel, yet they work fine with cleanslate.
So worst case you try, and if it fails you can still flash back a full firmware and relock the boot loader.

glad to hear buddy
can i use XQ55 method to unlock BL then flash your kernel via adb ?

No idea about that method. I just used the official unlock tool from Asus site ROG3 downloads section. That did the job perfectly without issues

First time trying to install custom kernel, I would like to know do I have to unlock bootloader? AFAIK unlock bootloader will wipe data from my phone so will installing kernel wipe my data?

Unlocking the boot loader will indeed wipe data.
Then afterwards, you can install kernels, firmwares without wiping data. So it's a one time wipe at unlock.
If you plan to relock the boot loader, make sure you flashed the stock full firmware on the phone including the stock kernel, as after relock you can only boot with stock/signed firmware. If you don't do so, your phone won't boot, so never relock without flashing back to stock firmware. Also relock will wipe data if I remember correctly.

Hey @tbalden I just tried to flash the latest boot image for non-rooted phones, but it gives me an error, what should I do?

This is the fastboot log:

Sending 'boot_b' (39576 KB)                        OKAY [  0.060s]
Writing 'boot_b'                                   FAILED (remote: 'Cannot flash non-official image without unlocking first.')
fastboot: error: Command failed

@LRNZ09
Non rooted doesn't mean locked phone. When you unlock the phone it is not yet "rooted". Rooted rather means you added a framework/ application like magisk to be able to give superuser permission to apps and processes..
This usually means you could have issues with apps that detect magisk.

Cleanslate not being rooted is about not having magisk/superuser on the phone and still configure kernel features with a special interface of the Kernel. Usually traditional custom kernels require superuser's rights/rooting to be configured. Cleanslate doesn't need that.

So, as detailed in the installation process, you'll need an unlocked boot loader. But the kernel tries its best to hide the fact that the boot loader is unlocked. This gives much better chances of successfully running banking apps, and also means no risk is taken by allowing apps to run with superuser rights.

Is it normal for this kernel not populate information in the about section in settings? I installed through FKM if that makes any difference.

Hey man, good to see you around!
Yes, well it's an ASUS thing with the rom. You can't check it there since like forever. You need to run config app or Termux 'uname -a'
For some reason it doesn't get there, asus settings cannot parse the format altho it's rather standard.

- Update Android Q Stable - 1.6.5 -​

Wifi based profile activation coming back
- This is interesting only for those who use the Premium config app and Wifi AP name based profile changing
--- extending uci/userland: now wifi ssid name is passed from kernel to the Config app
--- using that information now the Config app in play store 3.x will be able to change profile in the background
--- wifi driver now built-in to kernel (that's why zip/img size increased)
--- Use the latest Config app from Play Store, rolled out today (3.0.3).
- Minor fix to kernellog export to make it work at the first time being invoked from Companion app
--- use new Companion app 3.1.2 for this fix
- Minor fix for Chromatic Charging LED light getting stuck after usb disconnect, when the System Settings / Display / Use LED is off.

Sorry tbalden... still a strangeness ?
The previous problem I solved just like you told me to:
https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=83575315&postcount=79

Now it only happens if I activate X Mode.
In the X Mode settings I think I checked everything but didn't solve it; maybe in the kernel settings, in your application?
Could you tell me which setting to check?

Thank you very much

Thank you very much

What I noticed is that different screen fps uses different gamma settings. And it is very apparent on lower brightness levels. I think what you notice is that it changes screen refresh rate and that comes with another gamma calibration. This is a stock behavior and I think you can't do much about it.
Especially apparent when you force to 160hz mode.

Xmode changes screen refresh rate
