Requirements
- Unlocked Pixel 6 Pro, stock or with magisk root
- From Android S, vbmeta verification must be disabled. ONLY if you use Magisk Manager canary latest (to patch boot image with Magisk) you can skip vbmeta verification disabling! If using the boot image provided in the zip without Magisk, you MUST disable verification! Download the stock full firmware for you phone, extract Vbmeta.img and do:

fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.img

--- 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'
--- 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, dtbo, vendor dlkm img) from Google (https://developers.google.com/android/images) before installing this!

Installation Guide
Firstly install CleanSlate configuration and CleanSlate companion BETA program apps on your phone (both found down below in Download section). Set them up initially.
- When installing Premium version from Play Store, you should join the Beta program for both apps, and install the beta version! Otherwise features won't work.
- Non-rooted method: 0. download the installation zip, Unzip it to your PC.

1. reboot to bootloader:
$ adb reboot-bootloader
2. Flash boot image and stock dtbo img:
$ fastboot flash boot cleanslate-raven-boot-xxxxxx.yyy--ZZZ.img
$ fastboot flash dtbo stock-dtbo-boot-xxxxxx.yyy.img
3. if everything went fine, reboot to FastbootD and flash vendor_dlkm modules image:
$ fastboot reboot fastboot
$ fastboot flash vendor_dlkm cleanslate-raven-vendor_dlkm-xxxxxx.yyy--ZZZ.img
4. reboot (fastboot reboot), enjoy

- Rooted method: do the same as above, but before flashing boot, root it on the phone from Magisk Manager
- Kernel Manager (FKM/EXKM) Rooted method: download the kernel manager AnyKernel installer zip instead and flash from the manager

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)

Oh my gosh! Here we go mate!

 

[Lughnasadh]

Been waiting for your arrival
Thank you!

 

[Lughnasadh]

Everything went great on first flash! No problems and very clear and succinct directions. Thanks again!!!

 

[s3axel]

Thank you, that's great news to see you and your excellent kernel here

Just a possibly stupid question: is flashing only the cleanslate boot.img (eg within Exkm kernel manager) sufficient when already rooted ?
Or do you really need all those other images as well?....

Thanks, Axel

 

[galaxys]

Nice to see you here! Kudos

Thanks, Axel

you need the other images, he has modifed modules to make some of the other features work

Hey @tbalden glad to see you in 6pro forums quick question tho can I install this kernel over the kirisakura kernel or do I need to flash stock kernel first? Thanks

It's enough to flash over it but flash the stock dtbo image as well in the process.

Yes, just as @DespairFactor mentions, each image is needed for all the features.
Modules are not built into the boot image for a lot of things, like touch driver, haptics, camera and now most builds follow Google's gki build strategy, otherwise it would be overly complicated. So the features need those images.

Great! Thanks for the quick reply you're the best bro

 

[bs3pro]

will this work on oriole??

 

[tbalden]

will this work on oriole??

No, features won't. It starts but the features will not work because of the differing modules. I'm looking yet into that if it's possible to make it work

 

[bs3pro]

No, features won't. It starts but the features will not work because of the differing modules. I'm looking yet into that if it's possible to make it work

Ugh, bummer. Thanks

Wow! I *may* have installed CleanSlate on one of my previous old phones years ago - I don't remember, but this is awesome! I feel like a kid in a candy store. Love DT2S and the long-press notification shade is awesome too.

The optional location profiles is neat, too.

For my own preference, I disabled the Battery Saver Touch Limiting as it was taking far too long or just not working to recognize that I was trying to use the fingerprint reader. Edit: I turned aodNotify's experimental option for Power saving mode, to completely disable AOD when aodNotify doesn't need it, and it seems this was the culrpit. If anyone else switches it off after reading this, I recommend you reboot right away because after I locked the screen, the touch screen was no longer responding at all. I had to hold the power button in for 30 seconds to reboot. Now it's working as expected.

To be clear, with aodNotify's experimental low power option disabled, I was able to turn CleanSlate's Battery Saver Touch Limiting back on - as disabling that didn't help with aodNotify's problem anyway.

Thanks! Bought both premium apps.

You're welcome! OT: My mother was from Budapest - left when the Germans came.

You're welcome! OT: My mother was from Budapest - left when the Germans came.

Re OT: Those times better left in the past, remembered to learn from past mistakes. Luckily Budapest is wonderful these years.

Good to see you around, I think I recall seeing you a few years back indeed.

Good devices lure in same minded people time to time. I really enjoy p6pro.
