Yes I know, but with a full backup, clean flashing is my last option.

Just finished a test. Converted Beltz to Screwd. Flashed only the different system files, boot.img and Magisk. Running fast and smooth; no issues seen yet.

Screwed is a nice ROM; becomes my daily driver.

EDIT

When there are issues/conflicts I will report that.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] NLBeev:
I've converted my N6 from Beltz to Screwd. The performance is good and there are many features added. To much to mention, but there is an extended QSmenu. And the round icons on the desktop area square formed. Better than the G-circles.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
FYI, with every build I have, I do a semi dirty flash u may appreciate. I first make a backup nandroid. Then I wipe everything but internal. Flash rom(new build) gapps magisk. Then I skip the setup and don't sign in anything. Just skip.skip.skip. then once I reach my home screen I enable advanced reboot. Then I boot back to recovery and restore only data. There now u have all your data and the latest build. Doesn't hurt anything.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] swear0730:
I can verify that this works nicely. I got confused because Google makes you login to unlock the device after a full wipe & it says don't login to anything. You have to log into that.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
U do not have to login to anything. Never. Hit skip anyway.i have never and I do this once a day and when I flash ROMs to test I flash gapps but never sign in. Untrue. Google has no rights over your phone.just explore a few more options opposite of signing in.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] NLBeev:
Thx for the method. Indeed I appreciate methods like this to avoid the clean hassle.

In the meantime I did an incremental update (Unofficial 180420).

It works but only when boot.img and Magisk are flashed too. The G-apps, my bank-apps! and layers are kept.

Looking at the time involved, your described method is more time friendly.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] swear0730:
Ok. I stand corrected. Seemed not accepting skip but I must've been doing something wrong.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] NLBeev:
Semi dirty flash worked. But the banking app needed reactivation. The app worked, but my cards not. I suspect the reflashed G-apps.

Btw Srewd is great, smooth and fast.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
Most likely..forgot to mention I always have to re activate my bank stuff. Happy u like it..
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sanabil:
Can you help me with this issue?

Thanks
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] NLBeev:
[MENTION=8146955]fullofhell[/MENTION]

A few people have seen Screwed on my N6 and want also to be Screwd. But fear to lose data or settings.

I made a convert-mod for them to convert Beltz to screwd. This is made possible because Flar2 and Camcory have become constants.

If you are interested, let me know.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sanabil:
Can someone please help, as i am stuck with a problem.

I used 7.1 stock rom , before installing Ex kernel i read that if i want root it needs to be done before flashing the kernel via twrp.

I rooted with Magisk and flashed kernel after it , now here is the problem , as i wanted force encryption off as the kernel supports it

I formatted using twrp but as it resets everything my root is now gone, and i tried installing magisk after flashing and formatting it just doesn't work.

How can i get custom kernel installed with 'no force encrypt' and ' root via magisk'
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] NLBeev:
When EX doesn't work on Nougat try a different kernel. After complete wiping and formatting off ALL memory you need a kernel that doesn't force encryption when booting.

When using stock kernel it is important that it will be patched by SuperSU or Magisk before reboot.

The well known Franco kernel is not forcing encryption. You could give that kernel a try.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mal_de:
Hi guys,

don't know if this is a rom or kernel problem so I'm here first and if that was wrong I'm over to the rom...

I have a Nexus 6 and recently went from stock 7.1.1 with Elementalx to Nitrogen OS 8.1 which has Elementalx built in (confirmed root with Magisk). So far I really like the rom but my ElementalX is misbehaving.

I bought the manager a while ago and restored the app (without Kernel settings) from a backup (official google one on drive). Now I have the problem that some settings are sticking and others keep resetting on their own.

For example my colour correction and GPU governor and speed stay the same but my underclocked (1574mhz) CPU setting keeps going back to max speed.

All these settings worked no problem before, when I was still on 7.1.1 and after testing I had them "applied on boot".

Now they just change without anything happening. No re-boot or anything. I close the elementalx manager (just hit the home button) to check messages and when I re-open the elementalx app the CPU clock speed is back to full.

Any idea what could cause this? I tried re-flashing the kernel from the app but got the same result. Could there be leftovers from the app I had installed in 7.1.1 that cause the problem?

(i.e. To get Titanium backup working I had to delete the titanium folder in "data/data/ ")

I found a tip on reddit to install busybox into system/xbin instead of /sbin but that didn't change anything (except for Magisk not working anymore).

Thanks for reading and the great kernel!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
Try a fresh install of the app. It's a very complex app and I don't recommend using backups.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mal_de:
Thanks for the tip. I deleted app cache and data, then rebooted my phone and re-installed from playstore. Dialed in all my settings manually and after two hours it reset again. All I did was sending some texts and listening to music using headphones. Strange enough it was only the CPU Clockspeed this time, all other settings stayed the same. Can there be something in the rom causing this?

Thanks again!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
For CPU settings, yes. Almost every device and ROM now has some sort of service that changes CPU frequencies.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mal_de:
Ok, thanks for clearing that up. So I know my system is working as it should. I find it strange that the roms change the CPU speed but give me no control over it. I'll see how it goes with battery life. Thanks again!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] antiochasylum:
The nexus 6 did come with 3 types of storage chips. Samsung, sandisk , and hynix.

Wonder if those who keep getting the sod's have a certain type of storage.

Boot into fast boot and look at your emmc chip and RAM and post it here.

I have 64gig Hynix and Samsung ram chip. Never once a SOD..
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] l0ud_sil3nc3:
I've only gotten the SOD once or twice, and my emmc type is Sandisk with Hynix dram.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] D-m-x:
Both Hynix, eMMC and DRAM.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dtroup64:
I've had 1 SOD... I've got Samsung/Samsung.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Smallsmx3:
Samsung/sandisk. I've had a couple of sods but not enough to be worried. Most of them on stock. Maybe one on custom rom
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
Really weird. Maybe instead of listing hardware, say what you were doing when it happened and the ROM you're on. It's VERY unlikely to be a hardware issue and much more likely a software. I doubt google/Motorola would mass produce hardware with mass problems. And try to provide logs wherever possible, flar can't do much without that info. ;)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] phr0zen:
Anyone else lose root after flashing this kernel?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] letmedanz:
i have 32gb Samsung & Hynix DRAM.

have had a few SODs so far & i've also lost root..

All the SODs have happened when the phone is not in use...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Lancez:
64G hynix, DRAM hynix. Never had any SOD or reboot problems whatsoever
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
Can you all disable sweep2wake for now and see if that helps?

There are other things it could be, but that's my first suspicion.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] D-m-x:
Did that yesterday before i went to sleep, SOD occured nonetheless during the Night.

So all i can say for my part is that S2W is not the cause.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
Did you try out one of the other kernels before?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] D-m-x:
Nope, got my Nexus 6 last Thursday and flashed a Custom ROM and your Kernel right away. Tried nothing before, so no leftovers.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] antiochasylum:
Seems Samsung has the most SODs while Hynix not a single one!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] D-m-x:
Not to blow your Ratio, but...:D
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
Just really strange. On .7 no SOD and on .10 not a single SOD with s2w and dt2w enabled [emoji780]
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] D-m-x:
Maybe its tiggered by some special Situation or Setup. Also seems strange to me, first 1 or 2 days were perfect.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] l0ud_sil3nc3:
Similiar sitation here, SOD has only occurred when the phone was not in use and should have been in deep sleep. Root was never lost for me just a hard reset to fix.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] JoeJags:
Sandisk/Samsung.......stock ROM 5.0.1. No reboots of any kind, on any kernel. Rock solid. Even ran it OC for a week, just for the hell of it. But I always disable s2w.....
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sanabil:
Can i flash elementalx kernel for oreo using twrp on Lineage OS 15.1 ? is it working? please some one confirm

Thanks
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
It is not working with Lineage
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sanabil:
Ok thank you for saving me the entire process ?,

Ok so in future any chance it will be updated to work on Lineage OS 15.1?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
I'm not sure. There is so much divergence among ROMs now, I think it's time for ROM devs to fork ElementalX for their own use, or cherry pick the things they need.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
As you already use LineageOS's kernel as upstream it shouldn't be too difficult to get it booting.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sanabil:
Oh ok, I really enjoyed using it on Android 7.1 , it dramatically improved performance.

Now am on oreo rom, while some roms like Nitrogen have this kernel ,but i was unable to oc processor to its max potential via manager... anyways thanks. ?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ikramii:
Guys are there any working custom kernel for nexus 6 lineage os 15.1?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Do you really think a custom kernel is better just because it's custom?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wavedashdoc:
I don't think it's necessarily about being better, but custom kernels normally come with more choice in their settings. ( OC settings, different tunables, etc. )

Edit: I read your post in the Nitrogen thread. And I completely understand that view point, because ultimately someone will blame a dev for a battery failing or CPU burnout. The problem is that its on them and no matter what, if you run a custom ROM you take that risk.

But where's the fun if there is no risk? ?

---------- Post added at 06:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:05 PM ----------

On a side note [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] have you considered adding MC's charging controller mod to the Shamu Kernel?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
I'm pretty shure most users are not aware of the risk they are taking.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ikramii:
Yes i am but not because it is "custom" it because we can "customize" it. Why being so salty
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
I'm not salty, but your question was very unspecific. You didn't ask for a certain feature or setting.

You're right there's a saying: If you can't make it perfect at least make it adjustable
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wavedashdoc:
Unfortunately not. Nor do 'some' take the time to research or read properly before tinkering. That is a problem, no one can solve though.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wavedashdoc:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] just a heads up, looks like 5.19 kernel won't get past the boot animation on Beltz and other [MENTION=4450173]camcory[/MENTION] based device tree ROMs.

Thanks again for the continued support!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wavedashdoc:
Edit: [MENTION=9064613]MiroALG[/MENTION] was able to get it to boot on Beltz 4/5/18 with a clean flash.

I dirty flashed my ROM, Gapps, ElementalX 5.19 and Magisk. It booted ?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] cujo6801:
5.19 doesn't boot on 5/2 AOSiP...

Which comes with the 5.18...

So I might try your methods and see if it boots

Sent from the "DOG" pound
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mirekyiv:
5.19 on nitrogen - all fine
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] gothy.gothy:
Clean or dirty?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mirekyiv:
Nitogen already have 5.18, i'm flashed 5.19 over
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Meritz:
My shamu hung up on the initial Google logo on boot after installing 5.08 on a clean install of Beltz + OpenApps.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Berlino:
Ex v5.08 ist outdated...for Oreo 8.1 latest kernel is v5.19 and only downloadable via ElementalX-Kernel-Manager-App from Playstore.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] NLBeev:
... depends on the rom version. In February/March several ROMs had issues with ex.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] H4X0R46:
Yeah it's a bummer, but I appreciate that you continue to give us kernel updates for our own trial and error. Also flar, I noticed you added an AFH link to 5.08 on your website. Is that proving to be the most compatible build? The updates I see come from your app, just curious why there's now a link to 5.08. Thanks again!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
A lot of ROMs needed it at the time, and I had no easy way to make it available from my app.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] fueled:
iam on v5.19 just want to make sure it doesn't force encryption. because iam soon going to disable encryption

edit. ok i read the first post. it doesn't force it.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] TAGTRAUM:
I'm disabled force encryption on two N6, and flashed EX, no problems at all, OS Nitrogen latest)))
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
nicht träumen, er hat schon vor 2 tagen ge-edited das er gelesen hat es sei ohne "force encryption" LOL

kleiner teaser, hoffe du hast humor ;);););)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] MiroALG:
exkernel 5.20 give me bootloop on nitrojenos
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] NLBeev:
Probably because the original EX kernel uses different/generic settings.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wavedashdoc:
5.20 seems to have introduced something that YouTube TV doesn't like. Launching the app is fine, but then opening a video to watch causes the phone to reboot. I returned back to 5.18, no issues. I'm guessing it's one of the Lineage changes introduced more recently around 5/9.

Edit: Same with 5.21.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
You work is stellar I have no complaints I am grateful of your skill, I do have a query though: With the last 3 versions of your kernel, my builds fail at 99%. Says recovery image too large.. [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] do u know of any fix for this?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Neo:
What is the file size it shows the recovery image being when it fails? We'll need to change the size specified in our device tree to accommodate the slight increase made in Flar's kernel. It is in device/moto/shamu and is within the BoardConfig.mk. The line is:

BOARD_RECOVERYIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE :=

I would bump it up just enough to cover what is needed as we don't want to allocate too much space.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Nooooooooo!

Do it right.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] NewDayRising:
I'm using the ElementalX kernel manager app with Lineage OS 15.1 and the Lineage OS kernel. I'm unable to turn vibration off completely via the app. I set it to 0%, make sure the power button symbol is on, leave the screen, and when I come back to check it, it's at 100%. Now, I've gone through the individual apps and disabled vibration where available, since that's what you do in Oreo, but it still occasionally surprises me. Shouldn't I be able to disable vibration entirely via the app, or is there something I'm missing?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Neo:
Myeeeeesssss!

haha. I'll do it your way as I didn't like the idea of modifying the size. I don't like messing with partitions.

Edit: Yeah this didn't work, but doing it the way I suggested did.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ikramii:
So last exkernel works with lineage os 15.1?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] adm1jtg:
Can you do me a favor and test it on 519 please.... with 518 I had deep sleep issues and would like an updated kernel that sleeps well.... 519 seems to have resolved the sleep issue but curious if 519 causes your youtube issue as well as 520 and 521

---------- Post added at 01:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 PM ----------

It doesn't as far as I know, in neo's rr thread (rr is LOS based) they are working on it but so far no success.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] deniz3801:
Hey Guys,

I use Lineage OS 15.1. How can I disable force encryption?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
you better search for a thread that is on that topic.

in short, you have to reformat your entire sd-card to get rid of encryption which is the default on this device.

there are threads on this forum to walk you through de-cryption while this kernel does not force encryption once you're decrypted, no worries.

and no there is NO WAY to decrypt without loosing all your data so better back them up to a computer before you begin.

last but not least, in the beginning the difference was huge but after that you won't see a big difference. no reason to re-encrypt but it's in fact not really worth the effort with current software. of course the difference can be measured but not really felt and/or seen.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] adm1jtg:
Far as I know lineageos wont run this kernel.

BTW most recent versions of lineageos don't force encrypt... twrp's inability to properly decrypt is why if I recall properly
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Jeffro64:
Is there a way in EXKM to find and choose older updates or is manually the only way? Thanks!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
Nope..just look in you're ex folder in internal.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mingaldrichgan:
Not sure if this is what [MENTION=2343057]Jeffro64[/MENTION] was asking but I don't think you can download older versions to that folder though, can you? For example, now that 5.21 is available, I don't think there's any option to download 5.20 or 5.19.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] adm1jtg:
I just leave all the versions in that folder. So i have like 5.08 up to 5.21 zip files in there. Unless you delete them every time it does an update for you it will leave a zip there of the version your updating to. As far as doing anything automatically... no ... you would have to go into twrp and flash the zip version you want manually
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mingaldrichgan:
Right so if you're just flashing Beltz for the first time and wanted to update EX Kernel, for example, it's 5.21 or bust. Anyway, I thought that's what [MENTION=2343057]Jeffro64[/MENTION] was asking, but I might of course be mistaken.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Jeffro64:
Awesome thanks guy's! I found them in the folder.:cool:

I keep getting stuck on Rom boot after flashing ElementalX-N6 5.21 , has anyone bypassed this or share their ElementalX-N6 5.19 zips? or a working one for Lineage OS 15.1
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mingaldrichgan:
You could dirty flash your ROM again to get a working kernel.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] MiroALG:
EXkernel not work with lineage OS or lineage based rom

don know why you need custom kernel with lineage os

the stock kernel on lineage os is good then any custom kernel
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
This did not work, failed at 99% as usual. had the same exact error. Changing the recovery partition size worked.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
You are not changing the partition size. You are just increasing the size of the check. This means the recovery you are building will not fit.

This might be OK, as you're probably never build a proper recovery.

But you might as well remove the whole check in this case. But just increasing the check seems a bit ugly as it might lead to confusion.

I don't know how much space you are missing, but you can alwas include smaller images in recovery to save space.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
I will share my paste bin with the error so u can see, shortly. Ahhh I understand, I knew I was just using a detour so to speak to bypass the check. How would I remove the check?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Neo:
Yeah, we don't use the recovery that's built anyway. Changing the max size allowed was doing nothing more than allowing the compiler to build it despite what our device may actually be able to hold in the event we chose to use that recovery. A cleaner way IMO would be to bypass that check altogether but this works just the same for now as a means to cc elementalx with our rom source.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
don know why you need custom kernel with lineage os

this is none of your business and condescending, we have our reasons and perhaps it's the other way around and you don't get it

the stock kernel on lineage os is good then any custom kernel

no way, just use your phone your way and don't give others the feeling they don't know what they do and why

further you are in a kernel thread. either you use a custom (this kernel) yourself which would make your post even weirder

and if you just came here to humiliate others you are a troll.

i have a good memory for posts of this kind, if i see one the next time i'll cross-check whether it's you again and report

I have the ElementalX kernel app which only has 5.21 to download. I need 5.18 and I do not have a copy of it. Any way to access the previous versions beyond the one in this thread? 5.19+ seems to have DRM/reboot issues with Netflix and Youtube TV.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wavedashdoc:
Hey [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

As reported by many now and myself looks like your kernels past 5.18 are causing a stability issue, phone reboot, when playing back DRM widevine content in YouTube TV ( and for some, Netflix).

I believe it has to do with some of the newer lineage commits of the newer 5.19+ builds.

Thank you for your continued support of Shamu!
