Hello,

- You don't need the App. The settings in the Aroma installer are enough for me.

- This kernel runs with Lineage 14.1 latest nightly

- If you have an unencrypted data partition you must flash the kernel after installing an new update of Lineage OS. (Please flash both in TWRP recovery) If you have an encrypted data partition you can flash the kernel if you are happy with the kernel. Otherwise you lose this kernel.

kind regards
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
while i cannot deny what you're saying technically speaking i would like to add two things:

a) if everyone would think and act that way we would most probably not have a kernel at all, hence we need to buy the app to at least indirectly

. get a kernel of this quality, maintained over years, in the first place.

b) since you added "for me" it's somehow correct but then you do not know his use-case hence can't say "HE" does not need the app.

. there definitely are uses cases for which one needs the app and matter of factly it's for the majority of settings you need or at least it's .

. recommended to have it.

putting a) & b) togehter it's recommended to buy the app for a few and be on the safe side for years to come, especially considering the fact that the kernel and it's app is available for quite a number of devices from the past and most probably the future.

the germans have a nice sayin' that goes like "geiz ist geil" means "greed is in" but that's short-sighted and not target leading as results are showing.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] kraehetest:
I totally agree with you.:good:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Cobra11Murderer:
I bought the app today, also bought francos before. Reason I'm gonna give this a try is cause although I've had good success with Franco not all devices are supported. I have a few devices that have a elemental x kernel available to them where Franco isn't.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] SteveYoungs:
I'm sure that this is nothing serious but I have just noticed that the latest EX Kernel Manager app (v3. 35) cannot find a compatible version of the kernel for my device (shamu) when checking for updates. Maybe the repo is down?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
No issues here.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] SteveYoungs:
Hmm, that's odd. What's the URL to the repo that EXKM gets the kernels from? I want to test if I can access it from a browser on my phone, or from another node on my network. If I can that'll eliminate a networking issue at least.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
Looking at post #1, I see the downloads link to elementalx.org

Looking deeper, it is on AFH

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673791459329050516
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] SteveYoungs:
Fixed in EXKM 3.36.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ReneZeiss:
I can monitor the CPU load of my device with the app. That's fine. I like it.

I play Asphalt 8 on my N6 and N9, a high intensive game and need high frame rates. Is it also possible to measure the stress of my GPU?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mezerr:
Currently on the latest ElementalX, on my Shamu. Curious.. what changes the max cpu frequency? I've noticed it sounds a lot of time around 19xx or 17xx. Is this something in the ElementalX kernel that does this? I feel my phone is smoother when it's changes to 26xx. I'm sure something is set to lower this when it feels it can save battery...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Talvathir:
I'm guessing it has to do with CPU temperature.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] is there an Ex kernel for the Pixel 2 XL? My Nexus 6 is retired[emoji39]
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] S0UTHPAWK1LLA:
I think it's the core control. I get it nerfing speed when my phone is plugged in and I'm gaming
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] H4X0R46:
Pixel 2 huh? How is that device? I thought about getting one, but they're so expensive! Haha
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
I started working on it, but I'm in the middle of moving, so haven't had a chance to make a release yet.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION],

How do updates work now that we don't get official security updates? LineageOS patched a serious WiFi vulnerability in the 10/20 build that would have been in a future security update, if we were to get another. Your last kernel update was 10/2. Am I right in assuming these don't need to be patched at the kernel level?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Droidphilev:
Hi [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION],

Would it be possble to implement this please:

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
UPDATE!!!!

Now that Google has stopped supporting this device, I am syncing with LineageOS for the latest security patches. This should work fine with stock Nougat or custom ROMs.

Users of EX Kernel Manager running Oreo will notice ElementalX is now available. I haven't tested it, so I would welcome feedback.

EX Kernel Manager on the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.exkernelmanager

Download (Android Nougat 7.1.2):

ElementalX-N6-4.27

Changes:

-sync with LineageOS for security updates
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Wi1son:
Thanks so much Flar ! Just installed on Nitrogen Oreo. So far so good.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wavedashdoc:
Running smoothly! Nice to have the overclock option on Oreo!! Glad to have you back on Shamu!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] athulele:
I can't seem to get it to boot with lineageOS 15 available here

Logcat is here, its stuck on the bootanimation - http://paste.ubuntu.com/26123323/

Let me know if you need any other logs. Thank you!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jayadev01:
I think the kernel zip is for 7.1.2 nougat roms only. It's not for oreo right? There's a bit of confusion here. Only the EX Kernel Manager has been updated in the playstore to support oreo roms in general. But still, the ElementalX kernel for the shamu is not for oreo. The latest build is for nougat.

Are you talking about EX Kernel Manager bro. Then its fine, you can proceed.

Cheers!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] athulele:
Yes I downloaded the Oreo kernel zip from EX Kernel Manager.

How do I install the ElementalX on my n6 I'm kinda confused and need some help! I'm running on pure Nexus rom 7.1.2 July 5 security patch no root I'm a bit anxious to flash but not sure how the procedure goes.. or do I dirty flash it?..
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jbaumert:
Did you bother to look at the OP???
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mezerr:
Kinda confused.... so.. people are installing their favorite ROM, then they go to the play store, and install EX Kernel Manager. Once inside EX Kernel Manager, there is an option to download ElementalX kernel zip 5.0? Then the phone restarts, installing the ElementalX kernel?

Is there not a download source for oreo kernel zip, so I can install it in TWRP while installing an Oreo rom? (similar to how it's done with 7.1.2)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
EX Kernel Manager will download the kernel zip, which can be installed in TWRP
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] canodroid15:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] EX 5.0 running nicely on 8.0 AOSP & LOS builds for me. Thanks for the update & continued support! I'll be donating shortly, much appreciated sir. ??

I actually did read the OP so I just go into recovery and just flash it like that Normal? With out wiping something?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mezerr:
Used latest TWRP

Installed most recent UNOFFICIAL LOS 15.0 from the LOS 14.1 thread (Electropuke something)

Installed Open Gapps Nano

Booted into Android.

Downloaded EX Kernel Manager, and downloaded Elemental X 5.0

Rebooted into TWRP, and flashed 5.0 kernel zip

Stuck on the Lineage Boot animation

Meh.. I restored back to my previous setup for now.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Dungeon47:
What settings did you use? Did you use Magisk? I'm getting stuck and bootanim on AICP 13 (8.0).
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] George_Bushels:
same thing happened to me. I ended up having to flash a different kernel.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wavedashdoc:
Some Oreo roms just don't seem to accept and boot certain kernels. I've tested about 4 Oreo roms now and all have acted differently. I think it has to do with the base the rom was built off of.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Dungeon47:
AICP is LOS based. Guy earlier said it worked on LOS for him.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Mr.Demous:
Same here, getting stuck on bootanimation on AICP.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mohdschizo:
Download it using ex kernel manager but dont reboot and install first

After downloading finished, click the kernel again and tick manual installation

Clear cache/dalvik cache

Reboot
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Wi1son:
FYI - Had an odd issue with Facebook force closing on Nitrogen & EX. Tried reinstalling without any extra settings, but no go. Had to go back to stock kernel till next release.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ozckar:
Dont work but thanks
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] moso11:
Can I flash it over any custom Nougat kernel or should I first dirtyflash DU to go back to its kernel?

EDIT: Nevermind.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wavedashdoc:
Probably has to do with the kernel set in Permissive mode. EX by default is enforcing.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mugendon:
Any answer to this question? I currently see the "good" old smb135x_wake wakelock and would like to block it, but Have the same problem as nemanja.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] H4X0R46:
Thanks!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] xNotta:
It's a good thing I bought your app during the black Friday sale.

EX Kernel Manager was the first purchase I have ever made and I've been using Android for many many years.

For me to spend money on an app should really say something about your work. I appreciate you and your hard work. Thank you.

Also... The title says "[December 52]" haha
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] H4X0R46:
Thanks for the helpful quote! Has anyone here tried the Oreo version at all? Does it boot?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wavedashdoc:
Working great here. Best battery life and performance yet on Oreo.

Never mind. It was adaway.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] H4X0R46:
Just tried the Oreo kernel. It works GREAT! Even has the multirom patch! I've yet to try multirom with it, but the multriom manager app says the patch is implemented! This is the first Oreo kernel I've come across with the patch. THANKS FLAR!

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] adm1jtg:
Had some weirdness with the N kernel. Neither Ex Kernel Manager or Better Battery Stats can get battery stats with this newest version loaded. Load another kernel same rom and no issues at all.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
Maybe the other kernel changes something about battery and there is residual incompatible stuff cached. Try clearing cache and dalvik cache, or clear data.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] adm1jtg:
I guess it possible here is the chain of events:

Loaded neo's newest RR build, gapps and magisk 14.0, let it all load

Loaded your kernel via EX manager with custom option and let it load up

Went to bed and no battery stats available in morning not even from ex manager app itself

Rebooted to recovery and loaded Dark Energy (didn't clear anything) and all battery stats now work again

If you still think clearing caches might help I can try that later but based on the above I am just not sure it will help. Would be helpful if someone else running the N version could chime in if they are having these issues so I could get a feel for if this is widespread, a rom specific issue or an issue specific somehow to my setup
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] selw0nk:
What theme is that? Also, with the nav buttons.

There won't be any more sales any time soon. I may have to raise the price to cover my increasing costs.

Any chance the app can be updated to support 8.1? I was able to flash your kernel on AOSP 8.1 with any issue. Thanks again for your support! ?

Color settings wont stick

Hello,

Recently install this awesome kernel on my nexus 6 and cant get color profiles to stick. They go back to stock as soon as I turn off and on the screen. Any ideas?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Thunderbolt69:
The ROM discussed in this thread https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/cleanaosp-rom-shamu-android-file-host-t3715556/page5 it won't boot using the O kernel.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mezerr:
I noticed there's a 5.01 now. :)

Haven't tried it yet.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] vlaf:
If your rom has settings for color calibration (usually under display settings), color profiles wont stick, this is not related to the kernel.

No problem with color profiles for me, everything is fine.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] cianz94:
Hi. Where I can find a AOSP 8.1 ROM? I'd like to test it! :D
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mohdschizo:
Just to inform that 5.01 wont boot on CleanRom

Will try with my previous nanbackup - nitrogenos
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Fanini:
Thanks a lot. Got it.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Mr_Fanciful:
Must I be rooted first before I can install the kernel?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] H4X0R46:
Technically no, but if you want it to do literally anything you're gonna wanna root it.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Mr_Fanciful:
Ah alright as well which is recommended magisk or super su?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] H4X0R46:
I prefer Magisk. It can root your device and still pass safety net. So personally, I say Magisk.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Mr_Fanciful:
Thanks my dude appreciate it I'll flash magisk and I'll able to buy ElementalX app! Can't wait to use the kernel!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] H4X0R46:
Yeah it really works well! One of a kind among all of the kernels posted here on XDA! Have fun!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mezerr:
No actually, you don't. The kernel will work perfectly fine, and do everything it's designed to do without root. Install the ElementalX kernel as you said above, and enjoy. The kernel will work with it's default settings, which have been set by the developer of ElementalX, for our device. The default settings work the best.

Now.., if you want to edit the kernel settings, you can use the EX Kernel Manager, and then you'll need root. But I assure you, you'll have no idea what settings to edit, and the default ElementalX settings are set specifically for our device.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Mr_Fanciful:
Ah alright all I have to do is just flash the kernel in recovery and that's all? Thanks!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mezerr:
Yes. When you flash ElementalX in TWRP, a gui menu will pop up, and you can even change a few different settings. I just used all stock. After flashing, reboot, and you're all good!

If you want to play with the Kernel settings, then you'll need root, and you can download EX Kernel Manager, and then you'll be able to modify any setting. But again, default settings are golden!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Mr_Fanciful:
Thanks for telling me! Also the kernel compatible with pure Nexus 7.1.2? I want to make sure!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mezerr:
You bet! Pure Nexus 7.1.2 and ElementalX kernel go well together. I've since moved over to Lineage 7.1.2 and ElementalX tho. Less options, but it's still being updated.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Mr_Fanciful:
Great! I'll go ahead flash it right away!

---------- Post added at 03:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 AM ----------

Just flash the kernel no errors or what so ever! Enable the things I want and enable fast charging so far everything is smooth! Thanks for making the perfect kernel! For my N6!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mezerr:
Nice! If you ever want to change any of those settings that you set, all you need to do is re-flash, which brings up the changeable settings again, and you can make your changes.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Mr_Fanciful:
Thanks for the info! Really helped me out!

does ex kernel 5.01 works with android 8.1?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
should you ever face reboots or shutdowns due to widely spread flaws in the electrical system of the N6 just P.M. me so i can let you know about the non-default settings that at times work better. ( just one real-life example)

matter of factly i like your post except the quoted part, it's not recommended to tell others what's best because it might differ, be it caused by hardware differences, software differences, different use-cases and/or deviant personal preferences.

of course default settings are carefully chosen to make this piece of software run on most if not any setup and piece of hardware without issues but that does not mean that this careful setup is best for everyone and for each usecase.

;)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mezerr:
You're right. I'm sure there are additional settings that may make the device work even better. So, If the default settings in the ElementalX kernel doesn't work for him, he now knows that he can root, and hack away at his heart's content.

I'm also pretty sure he'll be fine with those settings tho.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] selw0nk:
The kernel works, but the app needs to be updated for 8.1. It will say it can't find a compatible version.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] TheAntagonist:

Lol I posted that cuz I thought I was in the lean kernel thread :P. But everything about my statement still stands true here too aside from him saying he was interested in GPU. I have no clue about that xD

For a little more insight on the hidden LEDs in our Nexus 6, their brightness is located at:

RED: /sys/devices/leds-qpnp-f0067200/leds/red

GREEN: /sys/devices/leds-qpnp-f0067400/leds/green

BLUE: /sys/devices/leds-qpnp-f0067600/leds/blue

Right now, when setting brightness from 0 to 1, they turn on but 1 is max brightness.

I know your busy with other things. I just wanted you to know the ability to have working LEDs are there, just needs the right code. I think lighting up our shamus' would be nice for the community :)
