Development [KERNEL]Radioactive Kernel v3.0.5[A13 Stable][10.08.2023][UNIFIED PIXEL6/PIXEL6PRO]

Hi all
so after some time I decided to root my Google pixel 6 pro so I figured I'd try out a custom kernel on top of the stock ROM. Seems to work nicely and more efficiently till now.

I'm wondering (and please excuse the ignorance if it was already asked):
- how do I revert back to stock kernel? I tried it FKM but ended up in a bootloop (I backed up the kernel just before I flashed this one)
- what's the best way to do OTA security update? I assume first revert to stock kernel, OTA install, magisk root before reboot. Reboot and just then flash this kernel if it's supported on new OTA image?

Thanks

Well, you probably ended up in a bootloop because you didn't either uninstall magisk first or you didn't reflash magisk. Traces of magisk is still there even if you flash another boot.img.

Aha
So I didn't have to restore some partitions spefic? FKM is enough for restore?

I'm asking as I recall that on OnePlus 9 pro and arter97 kernel that process didn't work and you had to use partitions backup restore through adb or that old app from play store that still does the trick

You can use kernel flasher backup/restore, sometimes its finicky. Still in alpha. Don't use FKM, it hasn't been updated since may 2021...
 
another question I have for the community:
did anyone notice the fingerprint reader performing worse on rooted and/or Pixel 6 pro using this kernel?

I don't recall that stock perfomed so bad to be honest: this is like 50%/50% success/fail. Is it expected and is there anyhting I could do to make the FP reader perform better? The obvious stuff like increase touch sensitivity is already done.

I didn't notice any changes.

Why can't you flash this with a kernel manager? I've tried EKM and franco and still can't get it to work. Gets a bootloop every time. I was able to flash with fastboot but couldn't get root back. Really has me scratching my head. Should I root before I flash with fastboot?

    hi XDA community, i'm here to share with you my little project, my primary goal is to provide a stable and fast kernel without compromising battery life plus some cool features that i find useful for the day to day usage.


    Current Features

    General List:

    Compiled using Google's environment for GKI kernel build for maximum stability using latest google prebuilt clang 14.0.7

    Packed with Anykernel3 with ability to preserve magisk root, thanks to eng.stk and osmosis for bringing this to Pixel6 series

    Works on both devices (Pixel6 and Pixel6PRO)

    Update system support via flasher apps ( Copy/paste link for auto updates )

    Boeffla's wakelock blocker

    SSG io scheduler set default and preconfigured

    BBR TCP set default and a lot more others to choose

    Enabled power efficient workingqueues on various drivers

    Fsync on/off support

    CleanSlate Features from @tbalden, all credits for the features to him (s2s, notification booster, battery saver, flashlight notifications. Note that rootless features like kadaway are not implemented here because we need root for other features to work properly with my tree)

    Multi-gen LRU driver

    DAMON driver configured but disabled by default

    Removed dynamic debug core

    Changes to some drivers to use Big cpus or viceversa ( hardware composer, goodix... Etc)

    Other stuff that is boring to write, take a look at my github for detailed information



    NOTE: I'm shipping now the full gki kernel which means that no matter what kernel you were previously everything will get overwritten by flashing this via autoflash apps

    ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH 2023 AUGUST'S A13 STOCK GOOGLE ROM

    [ RADIOACTIVE KERNEL INSTALL ]

    DOWNLOADS HERE


    Instructions using Ex kernel manager or any other app with autoflash support:

    * Flash Kernel Zip

    * Reboot

    * Enjoy!!!

    I'm also providing a similar magisk module like kirisakura kernel does but it's slighty modified and adapted for my tree all credits to Freak07 for the original idea, it's bundled into kernel zip, AK3 Helper Module , i higly advice to not remove it for better experience with the kernel

    AK3 Helper Module:
    Set ro.debuggable to 0 to avoid dev options fc
    Various tweaks on PMU limiter, DAMON driver and Multi-gen LRU


    Thanks and Credits to developers:

    Of course, I had never been able to create all that by my own. So I want to give credits to the really good developers around, that have given me all the inspiration and from which I cherry picked lots of the implemented functionalities:


    * SultanXda

    * Ordenkrieger

    * LordBoeffla

    * zx2c4

    * Freak07

    * osmosis

    * kristofpetho

    * tbalden

    * Chainfire

    * BitOBSessiOn

    * nathanchance

    * Yaroslav Furman

    * eng.stk

    * Flar2

    * joshuous

    * dabug123

    * franciscofranco

    * RenderBroken

    * moludo

    * Lozo2010

    ... I just hope I did not forget someone. If so, please let me know and I will add you of course.

    Thanks to all of you for your great work

    I also want to say thank you to my friends and testers and to those who donated me a beer or two;)

    Hi folks, it's time for the Android13 update!!

    I want to give special mention to @Freak07 for his time spent on getting the A13 kernel booting, Google this time doesn't gave us a bootable source, he found the way to fix that and not only shared with the community he also helped me answering my questions and been so nice , so credits to him and a big THANKS for everything he do for this community. Hats off!!

    On other side, the A13 build have everything we already had on A12 plus the additions of A13 source, i highly advice to read the op again for more info and like always download links and detailed changelog in op.

    enjoy!!!!

    Hi folks, here's a maintenance build just to fix a rarely bug which caused kfence to crash, ofc added some other stuff like small scheduler changes and some other minor changes.

    Like always download links and detailed changelog in op.

    enjoy!!!!
