You can use ElementalX application, it will install the kernel automatically if you have root, no twrp needed.

Hello, i'm new to this, can you tell me which options or how you customized it to make better battery?

Hi. I've installed elemental x kernel via official ex kernel app and i noticed that aroma installer is not working. Also i didn't notice any difference in battery life and on the other hard higher temperatures appeared in some occasions, compared to stock kernel. Have you noticed anything similar? Thanks.

This is fantastic works a treat brilliant thanks ?.

I should mention this kernel is the one thing making stock Android 10 on the October Patch usable, without this kernel i get random soft reboots that never boot back up and display flickering while charging.

UPDATE 1 DAY AFTER FLASHING: i had 1 random unrecoverable reboot today, which is still far less than i had when on october patch with stock kernel.

Hello good sir. I'm sorry to bother you and I hope you don't find this rude. I enjoyed the use of your kernels on my original Pixel XL for many years and recently upgraded to the new model. I was hoping to continue that trend and wanted to ask if you had plans to support the 4th generation? Thank you for your time and efforts.

I haven't decided yet. I've been losing money on Pixel devices for the last two years, not sure if I can afford it. It's almost $1300 for the 4 XL in Canada.

Since the kernel sources get posted do you need to buy the device to support? Apologies for my ignorance here but could we do the testing and save you the money?

No, I do original work on the hardware and need the device in my hands.

Can't get the backlight dimmer to work. After enabling it in ex kernel manager the minimum brightness remains unchanged from stock. Running Android 10 on Oct update.

I am currently running everything stock on my P1XL. Is there a way for me to flash this kernel without a custom recovery (since TWRP won't be released for android 10 any time soon). I do know that I can flash a custom kernel boot.img via fastboot, however I can't find the boot.img for the elementalx kernel anywhere on the kernel's website.
Any help is appreciated.

I have a Pixel XL too, though I'm running the evolution ROM. TWRP works but it can't decrypt your data if it's encrypted(which it is by default I'm pretty sure.) I just used a USB flash drive. It worked for me to flash my ROM, magisk, and element x.

Super easy. Just use the EXKM app- flasher option. You won't even lose root. It will flash the kernel zip and reboot and your phone will still be rooted.

You can get a USB drive too. I paid $14 for a SanDisk 128 GB and it's great! I bought one with an old Android connection because I still use a few old phones that aren't type c and I grabbed some adapters but the adapter that comes with your pixel XL works too. Probably the best accessory to have I believe.

Maybe try this: fastboot boot twrp.img then re-flashing magisk root zip and also the installer zip for twrp and see if after that you can use the EXKM app to install kernel.

(Edit)

To me it's worth removing encryption by formatting data and flashing magisk root. Speeds things up a tad. I honestly don't believe I've had a device that was encrypted since like the Galaxy s2. Lol.

I am using a Pixel XL with the October Android 10 factory image. I have installed Magisk. Launching the app I get a pop-up saying it was granted superuser rights. However, when I have the App download and install the latest kernel, it reboots my phone into the stock recovery where is says "no command"

The replies all seem to say use TWRP, which does not exist for Android 10 yet, afaik, or to just install from the app. Is there an image I can flash from adb or am I missing something?

Also, does anyone know how to remount /system as RW in Android 10? Everything I have tried has failed. (I need to modify build.prop for wifi tethering.)

Thank you!!

Fastboot twrp

Downloaded latest twrp zip from the twrp thread for the Pixel XL. I've used it countless times with Android 10. Albeit I just Fastboot the twrp zip, I don't install twrp to my phone

Sent from my Google Pixel XL using XDA Labs

Fastboot twrp

I go a step further and install it permanently, if your phone is encrypted, it can't read your storage. I have flash drive so this is not a problem for me. If you have one, I'd say it's worth installing it so you don't have to pull out the computer each time. Just use the regular procedure, boot the image and flash the installer.
