@flar2 does this have the fix to bypass bootloader unlock check like some kernels for the Nexus and Sharkey here for the Pixel in order to pass safety net?

enable insecure adbd and disable dm-verity

@flar2 Since we don't have root and TWRP, can you enable insecure adbd and disable dm-verity, please?
I want to mess with system partition via adb...

I hate to spam your thread but AWESOME. Love your work on the Grouper and Flo, stoked to see you working on the Pixel XL. And I do miss tap to wake for sure. Makes me wish the fingerprint sensor was on the front of the device.

Thanks for all of your work flar - really appreciate it!!
@flar2 Do you think high brightness mode will work with the pixels? I used that constantly with my 6p :)

That's why I developed sweep2wake right off the bat.

Yes, it should work and I will add it soon.

Nice to see you here flar2 :)

But i like dt2w more then swipe up

The sweep gestures (especially sweep up) are far superior to double tap. Double tap interferes with phone calls, sweep doesn't. Double tap cause accidental wakes, sweep up rarely ever does (we won't have pocket detection without a userspace comment on this device). Double tap can be unreliable, sweep up works every single time.

    Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate Christmas, and Happy Holidays to those who celebrate other traditions at this time of year.

    Thanks to everyone here for a great year of development and I hope 2017 will be just as great.

    Update!!

    This version is flashable in recovery.

    Simply flash in TWRP recovery.

    You do NOT have to install SuperSU after this. It works whether you are rooted or not, and there will be different options depending whether you are rooted or not. If you are not rooted, the only options you get will be max cpu frequencies (overclocking/underclocking). If you have root, then you will get options for s2w, s2s, backlight dimmer, fsync, and iosched.

    Download:
    ElementalX-P-1.00.zip



    Changes:
    -new installer
    -overclock/underclock options

    Update!!


    Version 0.07

    Sound control is updated to add earpiece, mic and speaker controls and to fix problems with gain resetting. Hopefully I covered every scenario. Thanks to @chdloc for guidance.

    I need to update EXKM for full sound control. It will have gain control for main speaker, earpiece speaker, mic, analog and digital headphone gain, plus a toggle for stereo mode if you are using @chdloc dual speaker mod. Eventually I will also be redesigning the sound controls to make them easier to use, but that won't be in the next update.

    Also includes November security update

    Update!!


    Initial release for Android 8.0.0 Oreo. Everything is like the Nougat kernel, except the installation is tricky at the moment.

    Something changed with SuperSU and my old way of keeping root seems to have stopped working. I have not had time to investigate, and likely won't until TWRP and everything is settled. For now, you will need to install the stock boot.img, flash ElementalX, then flash the latest SuperSU (doing this in a different order will probably either unroot or restore a backup boot.img).

    I did not test with Magisk.



    Android 8.0.0 (Oreo)
