[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Jeffro64:
Hi all...Having trouble getting settings to stick in EXKM like Max CPU mainly...I set it for 1958 and it keeps going back to 2649 even though I have the set on boot button ticked and reboot. Also I never seem to go into deep sleep...always reads 0% even if I let it sit for hours. Any help would be much appreciated.

Edit: Got it figured out.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] paulmerrill:
Just a quick question. I'm on LineageOS 15.1. I don't mind paying $AUD 4.49 for Ex Kernel Manager from the PlayStore, developers need to eat like everyone else. However, I just want to confirm that EX Kernel Manager will actually install the kernel successfully on LineageOS 15.1 running on a Nexus 6?

Many thanks.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] SteveYoungs:
EXKM installs and runs fine on a Nexus 6 with LineageOS 15.1. The EX kernel... not so much (it won't boot)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sanabil:
No, while ex manager will install it and you will be able to select your settings it will not boot on this rom.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] H4X0R46:
Have you ever thought of making a zip that adds your wake gestures to a kernel? Or is that highly improbable. I'm no dev, just wondering if you've thought of that [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]. It'd be neat if it was possible ;)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] paulmerrill:
While ex kernel manager indicates there is a new kernel available for my Nexus 6, I understand it won't boot. Any ideas when something may become available that will work?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] NLBeev:
A possibility is to mod the current boot.img of your rom.

Unpack the boot.img and replace the ....zImage with the zImage from the EX...zip.

Unpacking and repacking is easy with the help of the image-kitchen of [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION]
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] paulmerrill:
Thanks, I may give that a shot. What I'm more surprised at is that elementalx seems to be getting released regularly (now it's up to version 5.21) and is being announced on Ex Manager but what everyone seems to be saying is it doesn't work. So new releases are coming out with no testing?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] H4X0R46:
I could shed some light on this matter. Flar basically said that Oreo roms are a bit finicky on the shamu with none of them really working the same in the kernel department. Compatibility with roms and kernels for this device is pretty broken as a whole. He said he releases the builds over the EX Kernel Manager app so that people can have his latest builds instead of just putting AFH links on the website so that a bunch of people aren't complaining that it doesn't work. My understanding is that the kernel might work on an AOSP based rom (trial and error with different versions of the kernel) but will not work on anything Lineage based. Just getting y'all caught up! :angel:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] NLBeev:
I don't think so. The devs of Oreo ROMs have their own boot.img and ROM compilation. There's no standard 'factory image'. We have to wait for the next ROM build, or mod the boot.img.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] paulmerrill:
Thanks, I think I understand. So just out of curiosity is there any known Oreo ROM where Ex kernel is known to work? LineageOS is obviously a no, I'm hearing that ASOP may work? Are there any others?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
Ex worked fine with my ROM, only the last screwd build has a different kernel. If u look in my thread there are tons of screenshots showing deep sleep and everything working amazingly
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wavedashdoc:
Or you could look at my ROM repository thread that explains all this and provides information on most available Oreo ROMs.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] H4X0R46:
Not too sure, seems like roms that do work with it break compatibility in the next build, then goes right back to working in the next build. It's a little confusing really.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
Screwd works fine. My 5/18 build has ex 5.21. works flawlessly. And every other build with this kernel as well.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] p5wdh:
Is it okay to flash this with stock rom and rooted magisk?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ikramii:

I have bootloop after installing kernel on latest Lineage OS build. What's going on?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] RingooXDA:
this kernel not compatible with lineage os rom and lineage os based rom
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wavedashdoc:
Research before flashing. Then you'll know what's going on.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] firestorm942:
I apologise in advance for being a newbie. But, I've read and searched and I can't seem to find an answer. Is ElementalX compatible with the latest dirty unicorns(12.3 6/8/18)? what version would I use if so? I can't seem to find anything about it on XDA or their forums.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ajaynsurana:
I have used DU in past and ElementalX is not compatible with that ROM. If you want to use this Kernel then you might want to try Screwed, Nitrogen or AOSiP ROMs
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] H4X0R46:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION], does editing the file sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_fast_charge simply set USB fast charging on? Sounds like a dumb question, but thought I'd ask it before changing something I shouldn't. Thanks man!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
Yes, just enter a "1" in that file to enable fast charge.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] H4X0R46:
Cool thanks! First time changing some settings without your app. The apps hangs on "checking license" with the newest LineageOS. Thanks again!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
Another user reported this, it had something to do with bad gapps install.

Nothing has changed on my end and there's nothing I can do, the problem is on the Google side.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] H4X0R46:
Cool! More than likely, newer versions of those gapps and the rom should fix this. If not, I don't mind editing files for the gestures. Thanks!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
If you have a problem with EX Kernel Manager stuck at license check:

Install a different version of GAPPS if you have this problem. It's NOT a problem on my end, there is nothing I can do, so stop giving me one-star ratings and angry emails.

Do not install pirated versions of EXKM to circumvent this problem, install a different version of GAPPS. Pirated apks contain malware, do not install them ever, not even just to test.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] MiroALG:
no problen with youre app but there is stupid people install your app for free from google sites
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] fueled:
hi i wanted to ask that ex kernel app fully supports Nexus 6 shamu right ?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] runekock:
Yes and no. The app runs fine on all rooted phones, but some of the adjustments only work with the EX kernel. And the kernel can only be installed on some roms. Try searching this thread for the rom that you use.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] fueled:
lol iam already on this kernel.

NitrogenOS 8.1 latest patched

Elementalx kernel

Magisk rooted

just wanted to know if the app is fully functional on nexus 6
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
function of kernel apps are not device but ROM/OS related. the kernel app can only tweak parameters that are available in the kernel and

then the EX kernel does not boot on LOS based roms, only AOSP based roms, exceptions may pop up any time but not very probable at this stage of the API life cycle.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
The app is fully functional on any rooted device. The options that appear depend on what is available from the kernel installed (e.g. wake gesture options only appear if the currently installed kernel supports them)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] fueled:
version is xkernel 5.22

and iam specifically looking for like for example N6 is quad core, i would like to set it to disable 1 core when dropping below 50% battery and disabling 2 cores when dropping below 40% battery also I would like to set the cpu speed according to that . i hope it does .
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] runekock:
I don't think any kernel has such functionality by itself. And the app is only designed to tweak the kernel's settings.

Look at this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/development/mod-disable-throttling-battery-low-t3440814

The stock rom seems to have such functionality. The thread talks about how to disable it to get full speed all the time, but it may also teach you to do the opposite. You'll have to check whether the same functionality is present in your rom.

You might also try an app like Tasker. Though it will probably take some learning before you get it right.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] H4X0R46:
Update, I flashed the new LineageOS build with new open gapps and all is well. Works great!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sanabil:
Exkernel does not work with Lineage OS or am i missing something?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
He's talking about EX Kernel Manager

Google messed up the licensing for paid apps in the Play Store and a lot of people had problems
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sanabil:
Thank you for clearing it up.

Stuck at Lineage boot logo

Fresh install of 07/03/2018 Linage on Nexus 6 (Shamu)

Enabled root

Installed EX Manager app

Installed ElementalX 5.21 (default download from EX Manager)

Phone boots into TWRP

Aroma options come up, and I select all the default options.

Phone reboots, no pin request, lineage boot logo just goes and goes... gave it 10 minutes

Anyone else?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] MiroALG:
Exkernel its not compatible with lineage os 15.1 this is known ?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
what was said but you should read before posting, this has been answered an endless number of times over many months.

just type linage+bootloop into the search field and there you get the lot, either on XDA search or google search.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] Is there a text file to edit to apply changes on boot without using the app? Or is this automatically done when changing the settings through the text files?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sanabil:
Hi [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

Will we ever see this kernal with aroma installer on LIneage OS 15.1? Because i think Lineage OS is quite popular.

ElementalX: ElementalX-N6-5.08?

I attempted to install the latest version of the ElementalX kernel onto my device because my camera wasn't responding with the stock kernel from AOSIP. I get to the AOSIP animated boot screen and it just sits there spinning its wheels. Below is a link to the logcat.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
search bootloop and/or compatibility in this thread and you get an idea
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] phoney_stuff:
Thanks for this tip.

It's not so much a bootloop as it is a bootlock.

If there are compatibility issues, it would be kind to the users if it was stated both within the app as well as on the web page before downloading. I downloaded and installed from within the app and everything in there made it seem as if it would be a functioning and fully working kernel for the device and version of Android I'm using.

Hopefully the log I provided can help shed some light on the issue and a solution can be provided to expand its compatibility.

I agree. It'd be so nice if people would apply a little common sense and thought before showing the world how lazy they are. This person was lucky that such a tolerant person like yourself replied. I was going to give an accurate, though pedantic, cruel, and serves him right answer of "yes". ?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] watoan:
Tried but sorry I cannot see where I can find the supported ROM list.

In the first post I can see "MultiROM support" and it is providing the kernel 5.05 for Android 8.1 (Oreo), also I have purchased EX kernel manager, it prompted me to download ElementalX-N6-5.21, as I know the official ROM ended at Android 7.1.1 (N6F27M), so may I ask what kind of 8.1 Oreo ROM which is elementalX supporting now?

Thanks.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
there is no such thing like a supported rom list:

a) i answered your question, the answer is and remains: NO not compatible with LOS roms

b) you did not ask for a "supported rom list" but asked whether it works with LOL 15.1 and again the answer is: NO

c) if you had asked for a "supported rom list" the answer would still have been: NO for both.

perhaps you simply try to accept the "NO" as a fact and go from there ?

the part about searching and reading was meant to make you ware of the fact that this question (the one you asked) has been asked, discussed and answered and endless number of times in this thread as well as in most LOS based rom threads.

and guess what, the answer is and has always been: NO not compatible

end of story i hope, move forward by either looking for AOSP based roms or by living with the kernel that comes with the rom or by searching and reading about compatible kernels.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] watoan:
OK thanks for your "detailed" advice for my simple question.

Anyway, just a friendly and personal comment to [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] now...thanks for the hard work, happy to support your project by purchasing the app even it is not compatible with the ROM that I am using now, it would be great if probably there is a compatibility list (something like franco kernel) or auto-detection in the EX kernel manager app (based on other users report) which may tell us the running ROM is compatible with your kernel or not, it might help other users on wasting their time and asking duplicate questions in this thread, also save time for the users (like magnamentis) on answering duplicate questions.

Thanks again.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
- learn to live with facts and hardware limitations. you got your answer, now live with it because it was the absolutely correct and logical reply.

- nexus 6 comes with SD805 not 810 and 810 throttles way earler due to famous thermal issues, this in case that you have another device with an 810 and post in the wrong thread (don't say it's like that, just in case)

- you can learn to change throttling thresholds/parameters, i did it that way on my OP2 because i don't fear hot devices. My laptops get way hotter and survive for over 5 years till something gives way and my OP2 is already many years old without throttling and works perfectly fast and well on second battery.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] laureanop:
I have had SODs with all three custom kernels. The common factor in all the sods seems to be Faux clock app or/and CPU boost disabled.

When I got rid of ANY kernel control apps the Sods disappeared.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] JoeJags:
Hmmmm.......I'm using Faux's. And SetCPU, and ROM Toolbox Pro. Have messed around a little with them all, and not one problem. Weird.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
Gpu boost disabled is another good hypothesis
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] l0ud_sil3nc3:
Starting to think something is up with kernel control apps as well, firstly all (Trickster, Faux and Kernel Tweaker) of them were causing the phone to stay stuck at 1.7Ghz on every kernel (LK, Elemental and Sensi) and none of the settings would stick ever and clock speeds randomly changed to all sorts of values. Clean flashed a nightly from SlimLP and so far SOD free with no control app installed and phone is deep sleeping as it should be :)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] simms22:
i think its mostly user error, if you look at it that way. every boot up, i run the stop mpdecision in the terminal emulator, then adjust the cpu speed, governor, and other settings how i want. i use trickster, and the settings stick 100% of the time. never ever did i have an issue with settings not "sticking". if you run the stop mpdecision command in a terminal emulator, the will always stick. only when the command isnt given, and mpdecision stays enabled, will settings always change. oh, and my device always sleeps as it should. but that would be a more how you set up your device issue then a kernel issue.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] l0ud_sil3nc3:
I tried flashing the nofreqmpdecision file from LK and disabled cpu boost via lkconfig but still nothing was sticking, but I think you are right highly likely it's user error :o I am coming from the Nexus 5 and I never really tested any other kernels except FK on that device so this all new to me as I am used FKU for all kernel control.

I will try your method and see if I can get everything to stick, thanks for being helpful to a nub and Merry Christmas.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] simms22:
in a terminal emulator..

su(press enter)

stop mpdecision(press enter)

then your settings should stick.i generally dont trust files that i can easily run myself. at least that way, if somethings not working, its easier to figure out the problem(usually a spelling error on my part). anyways, merry christmas :)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] laureanop:
If stock mpdecision is stopped or the file deleted and without providing a modified one , what exactly controls the CPU cores?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] simms22:
regular hotplugging. all 4 cores stay active, and will use whatever cpu speed is needed in whatever cores needs it. sorry, i really despise mpdecision, lol :)

Another question for anyone using wireless charging. Does you device remain awake during charging... I think this is making wireless charging very slow... See the image in the part when the phone is getting charged.

I'll check, but I think mine still charges super fast and the usb fastcharge option should only affect charging by usb.

I don't have a wireless charger, I should get one.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
Doing a bit of testing tonight and now I think it is the elementalx governor that is causing the instability after all.

Guess I'll start tuning interactive. I never like interactive that much, but it seems that ondemand style governors are screwed up on qualcomm/linux 3.10.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Skripka:
I have a wireless charger and I see the same CPU awake behavior while charging.

Possibly related or not (others have reported it in the Accessories N6 sub forum)...once my N6 reached full charge on wireless overnight it ceases charging even while still on the Qi. The Qi for its part seems to know there's still a device on it as its indicator light is on.

Ex governor, Slim ROM 0.91 builds. USB fast charging and d2w enabled. Aukey Luna charger.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
Update!!

Back to basics, I've only added the basic features I had before (wake gestures, oc, uv, fastcharge, color control) and went back to the google prebuilt toolchain. No optimizations. Also added fauxsound support, which should be harmless (app update for sound settings should arrive soon too). This is now exactly like stock with some extra features. elementalx gov is still there, but not default, because I think it is the source of the instability.

I want to test for stability and rule out anything else, so that means do not report reboots if you are overclocking or undervolting, or not on the stock ROM, or not using a clean install. And do not use elementalx gov.

All that other stuff is there for you to play with, but don't report reboots or problems.

This build is a good chance for me to see what difference a few other things make too.

Download:

ElementalX-N6-0.11 (alpha)

Changes:

-everything back to stock

-fauxsound support
