Has anyone else had any issues with the hotspot not working after a few minutes? I'm noticing it has something to do with the kernel and it has been happening for a while. It almost seems as though the kernel is shutting off the hotspot but when I go to look at it, it says it's working so I have to turn the hotspot off then on.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ICANSEEYOU7687:
Anyone have any sound issues?

I am running Pure Nexus 7.1.1 and just tried to flash this over. It seems to work great except I can't get any sound to play from anywhere
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
just a friendly reminder that the procedure should be:

a) 1st read last and eventually first few pages

b) search for specific keywords on specific questions

c) post and ask if not found or answered

this has been discussed repeatedly and as gladly i would answer here, it would be too much to read and to repeat, hence i recommend to read back a bit. generally one can say that the users who loose sound are on ROMs that are not up to date, a very short statement, for more details do as suggested please.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] SyNoriixX:
I'm on the newest PN 7.1.1 with elementalx 4.16 kernel and i've just noticed that the first core keeps clocking at 2.5GHz and does not idle. I've rebooted and shuted down many times and also cleared cache and dalvik and reflashed but nothing helped. Can someone tell me what to do?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Thunderbolt69:
Same here, didn't notice till read your comment.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] SyNoriixX:
To me its happend a hour ago, before i had no problems at all.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] RandomPooka:
No wonder if feels like I'm burning through my battery at an unusually high rate. Good catch. Same PN 7.1.1 01/06 and 4.16 kernel
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
Check for apps going crazy. On some other threads, a recent update to Facebook made cores run at max.

It's nothing to do with the kernel.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] VoiceGuy:
Also on PN 7.1.1 01/06 with 4.16 kernel. The first core thing/battery drain was happening to me too. Uninstalled Facebook (the latest beta version) and things are back to normal.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] RandomPooka:
Confirmed that the latest FB app (non beta) is maxing out the first core as well. Froze that illegitimate child and everything levels out as normal.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] MysticKing32:
I set my max core to 1574 because battery life was getting so bad for some reason. I've only had this phone since May. So I'm going to try replacing the battery.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] RandomPooka:
Correction. Uninstalling FB didn't fix anything. I also noticed that system web view is permanently frozen. I'm thinking I'm going to restore my nandroid from the 1/5 gapps instead of when I installed the same rom with 1/7 gapps

---------- Post added at 03:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 PM ----------

One more post regarding this. Restored my backup with the 1/5 gapps from [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] and company instead of the 1/7 gapps. Cpu core is behaving normally. System is otherwise identical in setup.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Woody:
Posted the same in the PN thread, but I'll put it here for [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] to see. I'll see what I can catch in some logs or battery.apks. As crappy a coded app that it is, it's not Facebook that is pegging it.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] MysticKing32:
Anybody having an issue where you plug in the phone to the charger and the clocks automatically go down to 300mhz? Like everything becomes painfully slow and the only way to fix it is to open up exkernel manager then go to CPU and select the highest clock multiple times. I'm thinking it's some sort of setting as I've never had this issue before. Any ideas?

My battery temp when it did this was 42 degrees Celsius so I don't think it was throttling.

Here are my logs.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] awandroid89:
Im using Nitrogen OS with stock nitrogen kernel and thinking to change to elementalX kernel. After reading newest comment I check my kernel setting and realized I also have the same issue. Some CPU core at higher cloak and system webview is permenantly disable. Tried to enable with TB but no luck. Battery also not so great. Before this Im using AICP also got battery heavy drain and I think maybe it also has the same cpu issue.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] FCORivers:
"generally one can say that the users who loose sound are on ROMs that are not up to date, a very short statement"

But a false statement (stock 7.1.1 Shamu build from Google? Maybe that one is not up-to-date enough, since is 7 days old)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] githyanki:
People with stock are reporting that the latest works fine, it is the older versions that will cause sound issue.

Unless you mean the speakerphone issue, thats different and not kernel related.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] AciDB:
Something is happening when battery gets under 40 % or so. After that it gets drained much faster. I'll try to get some logs or figure out why.

I'm on LineageOS 0801 unofficial build.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] deadcatsrule:
You need to clear your bootloader logs,that reportedly fixes it
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] AciDB:
I did that. Hopefully it does the trick. Thanks
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] xshallowgrave:
Is there a link that provides photos of the different color profiles during aroma install? It's tiresome to keep going into recovery.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] an0n981:
Then get the EX Kernel Manager app from the play store. You can test all profiles and see changes instantly
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] xshallowgrave:
Does it have to be that specific manager?

---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 PM ----------

Does it have to be that specific manager?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] an0n981:
I assume others would do the trick as well, but since you are asking in this thread it makes sense to recommend this manager
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
that could help but as well there is the possibility that your battery is giving in. exactly those symptoms i had on my OPO and a new battery did the job and all is well again. not contradicting the other comment, there are several possibilites that would show this way but wanted to mention the possibility for a faulty battery just in case that the fix won't work.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] AciDB:
I hope it's not that, but thanks.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] githyanki:
Something else that may be happening is that the throttling that normally comes on at 40% has been disabled somehow. That may be throwing off the battery percentage calculation.... Just a random thought.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] xshallowgrave:
I understand your reasoning. Unfortunately fauxclock can't allow me to select actual profiles. Also, I noticed my speakers losing volume and getting really quiet on this kernel. But I did some searching and found it was a common issue. Is there a fix for that?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] MandoH:
Faux123 hasn't updated app. Full functionality won't work. Use updated apps. Either ElementalX app or try fk kernel app
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
Do not use faux's apps, they haven't been updated in ages and mess things up.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] AciDB:
I cleared cashes and bootloader logs and it seems to be fine again. I get 4.5 hours of SOT with bunch of phone calls and camera usage so I guess everything is OK.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] xshallowgrave:
Thank you I wasn't aware of this. I've been away from the Android scene for a while.

---------- Post added at 09:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 AM ----------

Okay thanks for the heads up. And I assume either one of those apps works for all kernels?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] MandoH:
Elemental x works great with its app. Franco kernel works best with its app.. but should work fine either way
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] xshallowgrave:
Okay thanks. Just had to ask because I don't wanna buy both of them if one works universally
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] MandoH:
I own all 3. Lol. Theses devs work hard for us to just flash away.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] vinnyz007:
The device bootloops at 3033hz with oct-n rom. But boots and works well at 2950 hz.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
EXKM is universal
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
this is devices specific, not each device has the same chipset built in there is a wide range. it's called cpu binning (psv) etc.

read below, there is much more of course, search google for "cpu+psv+binning+nexus+6+overclock"

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] xshallowgrave:
Thanks, I decided to go with that one
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dassub:
So I just installed the latest Elemental X on stock 7.1.1. Performance is fantastic no matter what the battery level! All 4 cores stayed online for a long time.

However, after the battery drained to less than 10% (I was out without a charger), it went down to 1 core. I have started to quick charge it, and the battery is now at 60%, and it's still just the 1 core online.

I've rebooted the phone, but still only 1 core online. Any advice? I didn't root, I just installed using recovery, so I don't have a way of updating the settings in an app.

Edit: I should say, 2 of the cores say NA, and one of them says Offline.

Edit 2: It was thermal throttling, let it charge, cool off, and turned off/on, and it fixed it.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] hpbrasil:
I tried installing on the Miui rom that was discontinued and it crashed at startup, could you help me? [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] S0UTHPAWK1LLA:
It's the ROM. That's why it was discontinued

Audio
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
works fine
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ThePineapplePizza:
Is the vibration control for this ROM only available through the ElementalX Kernel Manager? I'm using Kernel Auditor right now and I don't see an option for that.

Edit: I meant to put the EX kernel, not ROM! Whoops.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
since this is the kernel thread "this rom" is not understood, which rom ? there are roms that have vibration strength controls and many do not while EX kernel app has it and other kernel managers don't, hence support the def and use EXKM, it's anyways the best KM for this kernel and generally among the best with no hickups, just works.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BoiBundy:
I'm not the usual suspected when it comes to making complaints, I'm a problem solver, however I am here to help others if they experience any issues. With that anal attentive intro out of the way; here goes.

I'm using PureNexus 01-21-2017

W/ January 5, 2017 Security Patch.

I didn't have double tap to wake, and other miscellaneous things I like to have with a custom kernel, so I went to my trusty EX xda page and downloaded 4.15(becuz i wasnt sure about the security patch) and flashed away and booted up my phone and it hit me: There was no sound. Like at all, no screen lock opening no touches, no system sound, no YouTube sound, NO SOUND!!!

So, I quickly opened EXKM Noticed a new version was available(4.16) downloaded the custom version flashed and voilà!!! Sound!!! Beautiful elegant sound, you don't appreciate something so vital until that moment when you think "maybe I spilled something in the front facing speakers"
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] guitardoc64:
Quick question, I'm running PureNexus and noticed that the charge LED seems stuck in blue and green. Is there a way to get it to work like the stock kernel?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Alxoom33:
That's how it goes. Sometimes you spill coffee on your phone and sometimes you flash an obsolete version of a kernel that doesn't allow for sounds on 7.1.1. I'm glad it worked out for you. ;)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
Pure Nexus Settings, Display, Notification Light
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] guitardoc64:
Yeah I tried that. I'm wondering if I didn't enable it in the EX aroma options if then I could to it with those settings.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BoiBundy:
Works for me, I checked the box in the aroma setup. I believe it's kernel dependent.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] guitardoc64:
It's working. I had enabled it. It's just that in the below 90% it's blue green, not blue.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
The three primary colors are good. Other colors end up being blends of two colors, one above, one below like green/blue. I have good solid red, green and blue, and a passable cyan. The N6 LED is pretty limited.

#00ff00 is green

#0000ff is blue

#ff0000 is red

#00fff is the best cyan I can get

See the pattern here? ;)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BoiBundy:
One of the poopiest LEDs ever. (Accept back when there were dumb phones running around in the wild, even then some were pretty damn good actually)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
seconding that, which, btw, is why google had LEDs deactivated on the N6, all working LEDs are via custom kernel or activated rom side (via kernle of course) only exception i know about, there might be others, is lighflow, which as well is the app that allows for a different mode that limits the number of colors but at least let's them blink and appear a bit more as expected. it's called "Direct Mode"
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BoiBundy:
Oh yeah I think that's been in pure nexus for awhile now. And one you tech above 90 it's be solid blue/cyan

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------

There was a big craze about light flow in the early days

Personally I remember having phones that had good LEDs

Can't remember which phones but I could adjust to any color I wanted red orange yellow green blue indigo violet
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
from recent post i thought it's clear that basicall all other phones that have LED notification lights are ok, i personally own 6 phones with LED's right now and had another 10+ phones and none of them had bad lights except said N6, implementation on the N6 is mediocre at best and my point was that it is known from day one and google knew it as well which is why the N6 came out of the box without working LED notifications.

dunno what you mean with "early days" about lightflow, i use that app for 5+ years without issues on 15+ different phones. the only time when there have been problems was during API transition times which is not unique to lightflow. many very renown apps like Titanium Backup, BusyBox, SuperSu and plenty more had their fair share of issues during the period when API versions changed or in other words, upon new android version releases. nothing out of the ordinary here, it's more or less normal and has to be expected.

greatest issue with LF is and has been that too many users are simply overwhelmed by it's number of functions.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BoiBundy:
I do not disagree with you at all, I was simply saying I remember when you didn't really need apps like lightflow, I support the developer and I purchased it like everyone else. Even some of my recent phones still didn't have really good LEDs which may seem minutiae but I've had phones that didn't have it and I realized how much I needed it.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ThePineapplePizza:
My mistake, I meant to put kernel not ROM. I just had a brain fart. So I guess my question is does the EX kernel itself have vibration control? Because if it does, and it's only accessible through the EX kernel app I would have no problem buying it.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
Yes, Regular Vibrations and Gesture Vibration
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Tynen:
Working great with PN. Thanks
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
yes it does and works well with EXKM, see screenshot :)

i thought you eventually mean the kernel but wanted to make sure before taking it any further, happens to all of us

Hi, loving the kernel but I have a question I wanted to know, Did you ever do a LP kernel? I like runng RR LP as a secondary ROM but I'd rather have your kernel if possible. If not then no worries.

Thanks

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
What is LP? I thought EX was compatible with everything on this device.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] githyanki:
Lollipop? I wouldn't know what version works with lollipop, i only run outdated rom until the one I like has worked out most of the bugs after a new release.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jimbomodder:
Lollipop . It's Just a personal preference that's all,

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] icon123:
Can I flash the kernel with fastboot command? I don't want to install custom recovery for now. I assume double tap to wake would work without root. I know I would be limited, but what other things could I change on the Kernel without root? Thanks.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
You can just boot the recovery instead of flashing it, and then use the recovery to install the kernel zip. That does not install the recovery, it is just a temporary way to use it.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
You can't change anything without root.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] rignfool:
Didn't... I can't remember his name... Use your kernel and just set parameters... Like dt2w... With aroma?

You can change stuff during installation, true.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] I've been reading about some of these Governor tweaks that have been surfacing lately and everything that I have seen says that they are included in the ElXmanager, but when I hit CPU>Gov>Load I get "No profiles to load". Don't mind if I have to find and download them on my own, but like I said, everything that I have read says that they (the most popular ones) are already preloaded.

Am I doing something wrong or missing a step somewhere? I've unpacked the latest 4.16 to see if there is something in there that isn't applying, but nothing looks like it shouldn't.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] rnsxl666:
Happens to me as well,I have searched high and low on google and xda. I'm lost:crying:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
Nobody has made profiles for this phone. It takes some experimentation, so if anyone comes up with profiles, I will include them in the app.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] icebear8:
Since installing this my screen will go in half until I turn off the screen and then it works anyone run into this before?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
Yes, it's a hardware defect. You can minimize it by using interactive governor.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] icebear8:
Ya it only happens when I flash this kernal I'm on pure Nexus rom and it has never done it until this kernal was flashed and when I go back to the stock kernal it doesn't do it.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] amynjimmy:
What causes it to happen flar2, I never saw it happen before N came out. Is it a GPU or screen prob. Sorry about It but I have it happen too.

---------- Post added at 03:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:11 PM ----------
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] githyanki:
It is caused by a hardware defect that shows up when you try and use an aggressively tuned kernel. Stock is not aggressive, so you don't see this bug. You were previously able to return your phone to Motorola if your phone exhibited this behavior, but don't think that they are doing that anymore. You can search for split screen issue.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
It was always worse for me in cold weather.

My device was really bad, the split screen happened the very first time I booted it and I almost had a heart attack, having just spent $800 bucks on the phone. I ended up keeping it because it only happened once in a while and to fix it I would have been without a phone for two or three months right at the height of development.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
Is this common defect on all N6s or certain batches? It hasn't happened on mine ever but I only switched to custom roms and kernels yesterday. I changed to interactive governor for the extra insurance so to speak.

Damn shame flar2, your governor is excellently tuned. I'm seeing more drain with interactive at idle. Guess I'm going to try my hand at advanced interactive governor tweaks, I've done it before for other devices..

There are some that suspect it's caused by the GPU, I always use simple-ondemand governor on my rooted phones.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jimbomodder:
Does anyone experience random shutdowns? Using both latest for Mm and N builds on Resurrection Remix by neo
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
No issues on Omni 7.1.1
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jimbomodder:
Hmm, well when I flash I use what it comes as other than double tap to wake and charge led. But thx for letting me know.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
as is well known this device has a few intermittent hardware issues like voltage issues for some and split display in cold weather and certain

configurations for others etc.

in case of random reboots i recommend that you try the following solutions. i had random reboots about 2 years ago and not more than 1 or 2 for tha last 12 months which can be considered as within a normal range. you do not have to do all the following simultaneously, just try out whether something works and if yes which combo is the most stable for you.

a) raise voltage for the lower CPU frequencies by 10-25mA, don't fear battery consumption, mine lasts for ever in idle and 8-8.5h SOT full brightness, hence no problem thus far.

b) choose interactive governor if not already set

c) try FIOPS scheduler

d) set readahead buffer to 4096

e) set logger buffer size in developer settings to 16M

f) fsync disabled

g) TCP congeston to highspeed

h) if still no success try to get rid of all themes if present

i) still not working, consider the battery giving in slowly and check voltage developement with a monitoring app to see whether there are drops.

with all the above i got no more random reboots except the 1 i remember and perhaps another that i forgot LOL :D :D

good luck
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jimbomodder:
Wow thanks dude, I even bought the app so really wanted to use the kernel. Thx again
