===========================
Frequently Asked Questions
1) Why there is more battery drain in Final v1.0+ than v0.3F?
Answer: In v0.3f I removed stock launcher and provided only single Free Nova Launcher which was experimental step. The launcher performance was smooth and great due to Nova's commercial skills. Its very lightweight and less battery consumer. But in Final V1.0 , I completely removed NOVA and re-added Stock Launcher which takes more space in memory and also few more points of battery is consumed.
But now in 1.5 , both launchers are installed and I will suggest all to select NOVA LAUNCHER when asked for default launcher. However you still have choice to select all wallpapers from stock launcher.
2) I have TWRP 2.6.3.0 and getting "cannot create folder" error when I try to take backup?
Answer: Solution A) Visit this link for simple workaround for this 2.6.3.0 backup issue.
Solution B) If possible try to be on TWRP v2.5.0.0, it works flawlessly. You can install it with Mobile Uncle too. Just copy recovery.img on root of external sdcard and run "Mobile uncle tool" app and click update recovery and select this recoery.img file. No need for 2.6.3.0 when 2.5.0.0 is working flawlessly.
3) GPS is not fixing out of Bhaarat (India). Any solution?
Answer: GPS locks very fast in Bhaarat (India), tested ok. Its possible that for users out of Bhaarat, GPS may not lock. Try updating EPO Assistance as mentioned on this post. Carefully read all steps. May solve your problem like many others confirmed.
4) BootLogo Not Changing? After your rom, I flashed another rom, but the your bootlogo remained/not changed. Why it is still showing? How to restore back to Original Canvas HD bootlogo?
Answer: Generally every rom-makers should wipe previous Boot-Logo and install fresh logo for new rom, but if they dont do it, it is obvious bootlogo from previous rom will keep showing. There are many workaround for this.
---- Flash this DEFAULT LOGO patch.
---- If still previous logo is seen for 1 second while booting, then find and delete this file
/system/media/images/boot_logo
5) My GPS is not connecting in India/out of India. What to do?
Answer: GPS works perfect in Bhaarat (India) without any workaround, tested ok. But for some it may not work at first attempt. You may try updating EPO Assistance on following link. Please read instructions carefully. Confirmed working for users within and outside Bhaarat. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...1&postcount=89
6) Titanium Backup not recognizing External SDCard. How to fix/setup Memory Swapping and Mapping?
Answer: MemorySwap Fix: If you want SDCard memory mapping to be fixed or getting problems in restoring Titanium Backup data, then flash this patch. : Download and flash this Patch
After this patch your memory will be mapped freshly, so you may need to go to reset: Settings > Storage > SDCard option for all apps to work normally.
7) Should I flash any other kernel?
Answer: This rom is Optimized to extreme level to give you best performance. This smartly tweaked rom comes with Stock kernel which have confirmed advantage of No Bugs, Reliability, Good Battery Backup and Superb Power performance. It is advised that you try this rom with included stock kernel for few days and then if you are not satisfied, you are free to flash any kernel you want as per your choice. If you face any issues on other kernels, I cannot help you much and you should contact kernel developer for further help.
EDIT: Just to add, heavy games like Asphalt8 and NOVA3 runs like butter. And most of the gamers are getting more than 5 hours of game time in single charge which is unbelievable but true. I am not gamer, but other gamers have confirmed it.
8) When the battery is below 50/40%, then battery is jumps/drops down rapidly.
Answer: Generally after flashing any rom, the battery Synchronization may get disturbed due to some time spent in recovery mode or by due to some miscalculation of actual battery count and battery information saved in phone. Therefore I always add Battery Synchronization app in all my roms.
To Synchronize...... Charge phone upto 100% then do Battery Synchronization with app and then remove charger.
Do this again after 12/15 hours. Now your battery should be in proper sync. Generally a properly battery sync'ed phone should give you 2 and half days and it is confirmed by hundreds of users. That also means its only your problem.
If this still does not improve then most probably your battery health is deteriorated and it could be the time to buy new battery.

a lil' dissatisfied!!
Everything is great and minimal, but panorama and 360 panorama in provided camera app is giving fc.
Other things---
-> old version of Play Store

-> Can use Camera from MMX latest Stock
-> I float and apps would be good but it is a minimalistic so no arguments.
Other then this everything is great and good about battery will update after..
Thanxxxx for the ROM brother... Great Job!!
Awesome, I flashed it on my Wiko Cink Five, and it's working great! True AOSP at last!

Thanks for review and bug report.
1) I did not test panorama in camera. This camera comes with Panorama/360 which requires Gyroscope with magnetic compass. CHD does not have it as hardware. I am providing camera fix in OP for people who already flashed rom.
2) Play Store gets updated within 5 minutes when connected to Wi-Fi but it will be added soon.
3) Yes, you got it right. People like Minimalistic rom. Not everyone is comfortable with Floating windows on phone which costs 12.5K (including me)
Soon I will upload full rom with bugless 4.3 camera and updated Play Store

Thanks a lot for trying. Please give feedback.
Camera Fix (Install 4.3 Camera)
Camera Bug WorkAround. Photo and Video Shooting works perfect but Wide Panorama and 360 PhotoSpere does Force-Closes. The reason is the feature requires hardware features like Gyroscope and/or Magnetic Compass. CHD does not have it. But I am providing following camera fix in OP for people who already flashed rom.
1) Download this APK and save in sdcard. http://d-h.st/EXx
2) Before installing this APK, you should "DELETE" both following files (whichever exists) via "ES File Explorer" or "OI File Manager" or "Root Explorer"
/system/app/Gallery2.apk
/system/app/com.google.android.gallery3d.apk
Before deleting this file with ES File Explorer, you will need to mount System Partition in R/W (read write) mode as follows...
---(settings > Tools > Root Explorer > Mount R/W)
3) Install this APK like any normal APK and reboot. Done!
You will be now able to use Horizontal Panorama normally with all other features of 4.3 Camera.
Hope this helps.

Everything is great and minimal, but panorama and 360 panorama in provided camera app is giving fc.
Other things---
-> old version of Play Store
Some suggestions --
-> Can use Camera from MMX latest Stock
-> I float and apps would be good but it is a minimalistic so no arguments.
Other then this everything is great and good about battery will update after..
Thanxxxx for the ROM brother... Great Job!!

As said, play store gets automatic updates. And for camera, its obvious that all things wont work as some missing H/W.
So, for camera, you can use, Lenovo SuperCamera (you need 3 more libs for that)
libjni_filtershow_filters.so
libjni_mosaic.so
liblightcycle.so
Install Lenovo Super camera in /data/app and not as /system/app. OR you can use your stock camera if you want.

Oops!! My Thanxxx count exhausted.. Will sure thank you for letting me know the libs as I tried the Stock one of MMX from Turbo ROM but that was also giving FC so going to try again... Will post links as I found one working.
Edit:
I found one everything is working except BurstShot.
Well, Lenovo Super Camera produces heavily noised images with about 8mp shot on the same hand Included camera app does good in noise reduction. Added libs as you stated but burst not working. Thanxxxx
Another diagnosed error : Parse Error! In SuperGallery of Lenovo Super Camera on playing Captured GIF images and just disappearing when playing downloaded GIF images. Workaround required!!
Provided another Camera app by OP in #18 is working well rather you have to have rename the downloaded apk to "Gallery2" to install as normal apk otherwise you will get App not installed error.
My sugestion Camera app from Turbo ROM by kenu_Ritz will be good for near future updates.
Introduction:
This modification / custom kernel configuration for Pixel and Pixel XL is optimized and made with the focus on bringing several, carefully tuned behind-the-scenes enhancements & adjustments that improves overall critically needed performance, system responsivness and battery life to the highest possible level. The seed to this project can by the way be found here, for anyone that is interested of its origins.
Note: This script is not recommended to be modified or customized by the user.
The latest release can be found here.
Disclaimer:
This is presented as "what if". If this modification screws up or breaks anything for you, I am not the one to be held responsible. It's a free will to try out this kind of changes/modifications/addons/tweaks, just don't blame the inventors for eventual bad results and/or screw-ups.
Features:
Reduced battery consumption
Device specific enhancements for best possible balance between battery life & performance
Enabled, and fully configured, Boeffla generic kernel wakelock blocker
[
Disabled a lot of useless stuff at kernel level (Improves battery life as well as performance)
CPUSet improvements & optimizations
Schedtune tweaks (Improves responsivness)
Power efficiency enhancements
Wide IO block tuning (Reduces the possibility of hiccups, lags and overhead)
Possibly other miscellaneous things I've forgotten to write down here, both big and small.
Requirements/what you need for getting this script fully working:
An unlocked bootloader
Your own specific choice of kernel
Latest Magisk
Busybox for Android NDK Magisk Module by @osm0sis
Patience
Installation/How-To use & abuse:
1) Download the attached ZIP
2) Extract the script
3) Move the script to the following location;
/data/adb/service.d and give the script the following permissions (0755)
4) Reboot your phone, let Android boot to the launcher and let Magisk boot service do its crucial magic (takes a few seconds before the scripts is fully up and running around behind the scenes)
5) Enjoy!
Note: If you still are unsure how to do for making my kernel configuration / modification work & be up and running behind the scenes, then please read @Phalanx7621 phenomenal guide here or check out @Phalanx7621 in-depth video here. The installation method is the same for both the first generation as well as the second generation of Pixels!

Been following your thread over in the Pixel 2 XL forum, nice to have you here
Edit: sorry for stealing the first post btw hehe
EDIT: My changelog dedicated post have exceeded 30000 characters, so I have decided that the changelog will only be included in the respective update posts from now on!
So you all know how the situation is.

I'll do whatever I can on the first generation Pixels for giving you guys & girls the same awesome experience.
And thanks btw.
:highfive:
Update!
v1.1 (Minor release)
- Made a few more (hopefully) battery conserving adjustments to the Sched governor.
Enjoy!
There is no .core folder inside /sbin, do we have to create it ? Edit: reboot solved. Couldn't see it.
Got it installed and I'm thinking it's working. Does the script turn off Core Control ? Just noticed it's off in Ex Kernel Manager , is this by design ?

Hm, I have not touched the specific tunable that is controlling Core Control.. Maybe it is disabled because of my Sched CPU governor tweak.

I'll take a look into it later today.
EDIT: Oh snap, I forgot that I have disabled the Core Control tunable in my script. My bad, sorry.
Do you guys want to have it enabled or disabled btw?

I mean I'm only concerned with battery life. If you get better battery life with it off, I'm down with that for sure.

I will compare how my Marlin / Pixel XL performs with it disabled respectively enabled and see which "solution" that is giving best battery life with less performance tradeoffs, and then I will include the best overall compromise in v1.2 of my kernel configuration / script.
For anyone else interested in this, this is how I went about it:
1) Downloaded Flash Kernel from his thread over here https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/development/marlin-flash-kernel-1-00-t3788300
2) Downloaded the latest version of this mod
3) Downloaded the Magisk module required, which you can find by searching Magisk for "busybox" and choosing the "Busybox for android NDK" version
4) Flash that Magisk module, reboot into recovery, flash the Flash kernel (no need to reflash magisk, it's automatic), reboot back into system.
5) Check to make sure Magisk is functioning properly, for me I had to reboot due to an error in the application but that may have been on my end.
6) So now you have Flash kernel and the Magisk module required to be able to properly run this script. Extract the script from the .zip file you downloaded to a folder.
7) Ok so these next steps if you aren't familiar with this stuff could be tricky, but it's actually simple it just sounds tricky. I use Mixplorer for this, I highly suggest using it, it's free and it's on XDA Labs here. https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.mixplorer But any file explorer w/ root access will do. Inside the folder you extracted the script into there are two versions, choose the Public Release version and copy that file. Navigate to root ( / ) and go to /data/media/0 and paste the file there. The reason for this is you have to change the permissions to allow it to be an executable script and this folder allows that. (there are other ways to do this, FYI but this works just fine for me) You want the permissions to be 755, so it would look like this: (see attachment) To change permissions in Mixplorer, just long press the file and hit the little i (for information) in the upper right. Then click on the permissions you want to change.
8) Now all you have to do is copy that file you just changed the permissions to and paste it into: /sbin/.core/img/.core/service.d | | Now you won't be able to SEE .core unless you have hidden files on, in Magisk it's in the upper right hand corner 3 dot menu. Click Show Hidden. After you paste the file there, reboot and congratulations, you have achieved greatness.

It's there.... I'm on the same rom. You need to start at root and not device storage, as well as show hidden folders

Use X-plore file manager adn give Root permissions and in settings Show hidden files or folders something.
Update!
v1.2 (Minor release)
- Optimized Sched governor for best balance between performance & battery life
- Reverted pm_freeze_timeout to stock settings
- Raised dirty_ratio to 30
