not one kernel will wipe a device, just for the future, such a kernel does not exist.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
You're kinda right I guess.

Force encryption is technically in the ramdisk.

However, if you flash something with force encryption and you are decrypted... You will wipe the device, which is likely what he's asking about.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
yes, did indeed not consider that, i've just thought about custom kernels ( limited mind hehe.... ) and since we're already at it, just to make sure there's nothing else i've missed, do you know about a custom kernel that comes with force encryption?

thanks for bringing this to our attention :good:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
Currently, or that could?

I know of none currently, doesn't mean it's an impossibility.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
all clear thanks, sure it's possible, as far as i know the removal of that was one of the first thing that happened after releases since if i remember correctly this was the first device that came encrypted out of the box as is mine :)

great and a nice sunday or what's left from it :highfive:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Mudvayne622:
I wasn't talking about force encryption but it's good to know. I heard this Kernel works great on AICP so just wanted to give it a try. I just flash in recovery and wipe Dalvik and Cache afterwards correct?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
This kernel is for Nexus 6, not a particular ROM. People get confused. No reason to wipe caches on a kernel flash, unless your silly superstition makes you feel better. ;)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Mudvayne622:
Haha ok thanks

Any one successfully used lightflo? Am on N and elemental kernel for N
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
assuming you mean "Lightflow" YES i'm using it for many years, currently on 7 devices ans 13 roms and 4 different kernles without issues.

even though you don't tell why you ask, ( could save 2 post by taking a straight forward attempt ) i assume you've been running into issues

( guessing ) and since i have none i can probably help, shoot away and next time directly :) ;)

EDIT: in case your issue is not common or easy to understand, provide screenshots to illustrate, it's easier if i understand the problem in detail.

EDIT2: wouldn't be surprised if it's about blinking light ? LOL let's see what my guesses are worth, just for fun :)

[ROM][N6][6.0.1]★ Pure Nexus ★ Layers/CMTE | Fi | WiFi Calling ★[06/06/16]

In direct mode led turns to black
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
interesting terms, turns to black means turns to nothing, black is not a light color, it's no light at all if you go you right.

however i have a direct mode setup for testing purposes and all is working well, even blinking, just that i don't need that anymore, too little or no benefit and then the setup is way too time consuming and colors are different somehow.

in any case to answer you question, no, i never faced such an issue, there is an extensive tutorial how to setup direct mode correctly and it has to be something you missed or did wrong.

if you remember i hinted as how to report issues for proper and useful help. the next 1-liner will go unanswered, if you make a correct post with though documentation and description this can be handled with 1 single post and 1 single reply instead of pulling stuff from one's nose and going back and forth several times, last but not least OT in the kernel thread. this is post number 4 and your problem is not even close to being solved.

hope you get me here, no offense meant but people have to learn to communicate, it's an integrated part of development and troubleshooting :cool:

Does not work on DP4

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] Thank you very much for the hard work. I have been enjoying this for quite some time. Just here to report that the image does not work on Android N Developer Preview 4. Even though the AROMA installer prompts installation success, after reboot the kernel is still the stock kernel. Looking forward to a fix and thanks again for this!

EDIT:

After some tinkering I found that if I flash SuperSU first and then ElementalX it works. I used to flash ElementalX first as I thought that ramdisk needs to be patched. Flashing in that sequence did not work in DP4 so I'm not sure what's the situation here. In the end though it worked like a charm if I just change the order of flashing! Sorry for this!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] abogrhen:
i flashed dp4

then SuperSU

then elemental 4.05

and it worked fine form me

i can't wait for the next elemental version?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
you found the right solution, good, and be assured that it has been mentioned many times in this thread, first SSU then kernel, because SSU has a backup script that will overwrite your kernel with the one it backed up and patched.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] provolinoo:
Great workaround, probably the ElementalX kernel needs an update, in the meantime we can use your suggestion :)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] hwhuangqifan:
It's just that with DP3 I was able to flash ElementalX first and then SuperSU since SSU prompts that it needs to patch the ramdisk. I guess something changed in DP4 which caused compatibility problems. Thank you anyway.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
Nothing changed, it's been like that for a while.

If you have a modified boot.img and SuperSU finds a backup from a previous install, it will replace the boot.img with the backup. This usually means you will return to the stock kernel.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] provolinoo:
thanks for the clarification :)

can we expect a 4.06 to have DP4 changes merged? ;)

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] Would you build an EX kernel for the Pixel C?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
Of course, when source is released

No, sorry. I think I'm done with tablets, not enough people use them. I get a few hundred downloads max for my Nexus 9 kernel.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] alexdonwarez:
does this kernel work on aosp based roms or only on stock based roms, please help, im a noob..
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] nathanchance:
It should work on any ROM.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] provolinoo:
Do you think we could, in the meantime, use 4.05 on DP4? I'm currently using it but I don't know if it can ruin the experience in any way
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] nathanchance:
If you haven't had any issues by now, you should be in the clear. The source updates are probably along the lines of the security patches: ideal to have but not the end of the world if you don't.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] angiest:
Earlier today, after about 160 hours of uptime my phone rebooted itself. I think this was the first reboot since I installed the dp3 kernel. ?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Ishan_Arya:

F2FS

Does anyone know if F2FS works in Android N Preview 4?

When I change my file system (cache and data partitions) to F2FS - device does not boot anymore (it just hangs on Google logo).

This is both with ElementalX-N6-4.05 and stock (SuperSU patched) kernels.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] RandomPooka:
EX doesn't support it, and I doubt stock N does either. It's hanging on Google logo because it can't mount your partitions
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] nexttjme:
Hi friends, can i use EX on CM13 based rom?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
Yes, as far as I know it works on everything.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] rignfool:
My toaster?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
We just need the device tree and Linux is good to go.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] angiest:
Of course NetBSD runs on it.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Alxoom33:
I really wish it worked on My Pixel C N DP4.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] raphTec:
It seems that ElementalX has only very little support for USB to Ethernet adapters... I would appreciate it if that support could be added in some update, or are there any good reasons why it is not in the kernel so far?

Thanks in advance.

Will this bring multirom back ?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
I don't know, is multirom broken on Android N? It's been a while since I've used it.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] slothdabski:
The stock kernel doesnt have the kexec patch required for multirom, so I believe he's asking if your n kernel has it
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] greeneyez15o:
Precisely what i meant. Thanx

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] rokurobanne:
this is noob asking (weird)

........

......

i cannot overclocked this kernel. my preinstal is 2.9mhz

but always down to 1.7.. and cannot up

why why why

please sollutions

i need overclocked or normally clocked stock

thanx flar2
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
Probably battery is less than 40%

Or thermal throttling
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] rokurobanne:
default thermal is 60. and what number should i change to up my cpu. because i play online modern combat 5 shooting. the game is very lag. because of cpu below 2.2mhz. on performance mode im still cannot up the cpu. still 1.7

thx
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
Make sure none of your cpu settings are set to apply on boot and reboot.

But if your battery is less than 40%, the frequency will always be throttled.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] duttyend:
Unfortunately it doesn't work with CM13 (I just flashed latest 07/01 nightly) with latest TWRP and it froze during installation in recovery... had to hard reboot the device.

Could it be because of F2FS data partition?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] RandomPooka:
Absolutely. I want to say that [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] has already stated that there's no F2FS support built in, but I could be wrong. I'm often wrong, actually. I'm sort of used to it, and so are most people who read my comments :)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] cybergrime:
I'm running CM 13 right now, but on ext4. If I remember correctly, I think I got this working with a different ROM on an F2FS filesystem. Will have to double check that. You're only changing /data and /cache to F2FS, right? Formatting /system to F2FS can cause this to happen, plus it's not really necessary to make the system partition F2FS.

---------- Post added at 06:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:53 PM ----------

I've also had installation freezes when trying to install on F2FS from a nandroid backup that was originally setup on EXT4. Sometimes it works, other times it just freezes up. So maybe try a fresh installation if you're installing from a backup. Or try a fresh install, boot it up, then attempt to restore just the /data partition after a successful boot. That might work.

But all of this might be totally irrelevant til I confirm trying the kernel myself with F2FS.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] RandomPooka:
Trying to boot into /system with a kernel that doesn't support the filesystem that /system is on will cause a bootloop, as it can't mount the system partition. It simply doesn't know HOW to.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] cybergrime:
Well yeah, I never said that it didn't. You actually wouldnt even make it to the boot animation. It'll just hang on the Google splash screen or crash. Assuming that this kernel supports f2fs, I was talking about taking a backup of a /data originally made on an ext4 filesystem and using recovery to try to restore it to a new clean f2fs filesystem with the same rom/kernel combo you were using before preflashed with an empty /data partition or vice versa. When the recovery is finished youve essentially changed the file format of whatever was being stored in /data in your nandroid backup. I was just mentioning I've had wacky results doing that. It sometimes will work, sometimes it won't, or craps out during install and takes a few tries. But this is moot if EX kernel doesn't support F2FS. Not sure if that could've been causing the issue in the first place because it wasn't failing to boot, it was failing to install. I mean in theory, you should be able to get an invalid f2fs configuration to install fine, it just won't boot when the time comes.

Idk though, I'm just a crazy flashaholic with multirom and a usb-otg stick. I've got like half a dozen ROMs and every time I flash a new one it just kinda blends together. I really need an intervention. It won't be long before I'm just stashing otg sticks under my mattress and tweaking out over whether I should be using Francokernel or ElementalX or arguing with myself loudly in public debating the merits of f2fs over ext4.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] RandomPooka:
I was posting that more for [MENTION=5014557]duttyend[/MENTION] than for you. Sounded like you were already on the same page. You got quoted to keep the continuity of the conversation, not because I thought you didn't know :)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Gedablo666:
Hello. I dont know is it kernel related issue or not, but I have a problem with Android system battery drain during overnight. Wifi/data/gps turned off at night. I tried to clean dalvik cache/cache in recovery and its help for few days, but battery drain come back. I wonder is it kernel issue or maybe some kind of app? Thank you.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] cL0uD`:
OP says not to flash this kernel over any other besides the one that goes with your currently installed rom.

I'm on stock, but have hellscore kernel, I want to try elementalx.

I need to flash back the stock kernel first and only then flash elementalx?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Berlino:
Yes, exactly...first flash stock kernel then elementalx.

Any recommendations for low memory killer setting?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] g2uzer:
With Android Pay working out the box on the latest PureNexus , Can I flash this kernel and still have AP working? Thanks for the hard work!!!

(I did hit the search button before replying but didn't find answer)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
recommended are always default settings. settings are not there to be used because they are there but to be used when needed, for example in case that someone's rom has issues with memory management or whatever other reason.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] joeyfong:
Thanks but you don't need to answer something I already knew. If I want to use default settings, I will not ask, thanks again.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
you got the answer to your exact question, the rest i sent you PM. let it at default, this is my recommendation as well as the dev stated many times, default are defaults with reason and if you want another reply, ask another question.

:rolleyes:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] elreydenj:
I am interested as well. Every once in a while on N preview 4, RAM will get filled up and cause a freeze. Happens very infrequently. I may see it once a week or so. If you enable one of the presets in memory settings in kernel adiutor then settings for content providers and empty apps will appear in EX Kernel Manager. I have set the empty apps settings to 256 MB. I was also curious about possibly raising the threshold for hidden apps. I would love for someone with a more advanced understanding of this to provide some suggestions. I have read some articles on the topic online but most of them are dated. Thank you in advance.

Hi!

July update 3.17 was installed via the EXKM over 3.16 and my Wi-Fi is broken. Networks are not showing up, tried rebooting the device & the router as well but no luck.

Any work around through this?

Thanks!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Don't install it on a ROM that does not have the entire July security patch merged.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] xtc_24:
Thanks! Flashed 3.16 & everything's normal. Good experience for future :rolleyes:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] MrBrady:

ROM builds. If your ROM is on the June build, don't flash it.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
If your wifi doesn't work, go back to 3.16
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
july build of what ?

basically only stock google is certain to work 1 day after release, often it takes for other roms days and sometimes weeks to adapt. often devs do not take the entire new code into their roms and/or other stuff is not compatible anymore after significant changes.

the significant changes in this month's factory image is that all the drivers were replaced ( dunno 100% or just 99% LOL ) and apparently wifi drivers are a part of it.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Georgiafan1969:
Flash 3.17 kernel on stock and wifi connects, as always no problem flashing your kernel and works as it should.:good:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
Note to all users:

Normally, security updates are forward and backward compatible. Not so with the July update.

If your WiFi is broken, please go back to the previous version of the kernel.

Your system must be fully updated with July security patches to use the latest version of the kernel.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] WhammyDroid:

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Wi1son:
Thought 3.17 would be fine with today's PN build (7-8). No wifi, so went back to 3.16.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] HiM@L:

but my assumption can be wrong. I am just saying what I saw.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] agreenbhm:
I'm on Dirty Unicorns with the July security updates and wifi isn't working for me either. I'm going to reboot just to be sure, and then going back to 3.16. FYI, for any DU users.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] HiM@L:
I m on CLEAN installed Krexus ROM which uses STOCK kernel (not the modified kernel) and my wifi works just fine with ElementalX-3.17.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Lyxdeslic:
I'd love to give 3.16 a shot on Chroma, but I flashed LeanKernel a few days ago. Unfortunately WiFi calling on ProjectFi isn't working with it.

However, on the main page it states to not flash over other custom kernels. Any way I can get this flashed over LeanKernel without having to reformat and wipe system?

Many thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Formhault:
Same here with latest PureNexus.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] AhmadOkda:
Flash your rom only without any wipe

This will flash the stock kernel that comes with the rom

Then you can flash any other kernel
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Formhault:
The kernel source of the ROM doesn't matter. What matters is that latest PN is based on July's security update, and EX 3.17 has July's security patches.

What you said is like saying you can't wear gloves today because yesterday, you didn't.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Lyxdeslic:

I don't know if this will be helpful.

WiFi is broken using PureNexus(pure_nexus_shamu-6.0.1-20160708) and ElementalX 3.17.

I tried flashing ElementalX then re-installing SuperSU, but SuperSU is using a stock backup kernel that it has hidden somewhere.

After that, I'm running PureKernel and not ElementalX.

Hope that info could be of some use.
