Overclock gpu next update??
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
Can't be done
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] rignfool:
To continue your trouble shooting...

I think it's the console file in pstore...

All the way at the bottom... You'll find the reason for the shutdown...

If it says something like user initiated... But you didn't hit the power button... It's voltage related... Welcome to the club...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jimbomodder:
I've literally set all settings as above and so far it's all good.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
can't imagine, it's placebo anyways, has been discussed for years now, no evidence that it makes any difference and often when the featue was available it was even fake.

of course that's just my 2 cents but i know flar for long and i would be surprised, let's see, perhaps i'm wrong :)

EDIT: ok, was in next post, i'm not reading ahead, hence the ninja, sorry :)

Update!!!

Download (Nougat)

ElementalX-N6-4.17

Changes:

-February security update

-update lz4
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] nada324:
Can i update over 4.16?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] vlaf:
Why not!?No problems.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] manish_bhaumik:
So does this mean I need to install the Feb security update first before updating to the new version of the kernel ?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] githyanki:
Normally not, but after last month, you may want to wait until someone else tries first ?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
it's always recommended to flash new kernel versions over the rom/image version for which is is made for. there have been issues in the past when flashing new kernel variants over older roms/images and vice versa, updating to newest roms/images without updating the kernel.

so sorry that i have to disagree, normally yes, recommended at least, sometimes one gets aways with it.

It has to be mentioned perhaps that whether issues occur or not may depend on the usage. if the issues are related to functions someone does not use he/she may never face issues. i.e. if a certain combo brakes thethering and someone never tethers he/she would come here and tell everyone that he/she never faces ussues, nevertheless the combo was bad. i hope that last paragraph keeps all those who got more often away with it to post over pages that for them it's working :)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] RandomPooka:
Zero problems here on PureNexus 01/21/2017, Magisk 11.1, and upgrading the ElementalX kernel using express mode through the EX app.

Sound, data, wifi, etc all working as they should. If I find any oddities that could be kernel related, then I will report them appropriately.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] hpbrasil:
The only version that is working the screen calibration here is 4.14, from there the screen calibration does not work by the bhb kernel adder and neither installing directly by the aroma, I apply the screen configuration and when I lock the screen turns the yellowish. :crying::crying::crying:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
Must be something on your end, no issues here runningn Omni. Change Roms, make sure you are not running Night Light, and try running the rom with the stock kernel to see if you can reproduce.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] hpbrasil:
It made a change in the live display from 4.14 and stayed that way, I'm using 4.14 and the screen calibration is working perfectly.:laugh:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ikramii:
What is lz4?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LZ4_(compression_algorithm)

Maybe add this to your phone. It is great for answering questions like these.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ikramii:
I only know it is some of compresion algorithm, but what i want to know is for what is the side effect of it?? You are a bit rude you know. Not everyone have the same "head" like yours
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
I unwillingly became the test subject. Installed today's LineageOS build expecting it to be with the FEB security patch, it wasn't. Not knowing this I flashed the EKX 4.17 update at the same time.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] nathanchance:
But that's not what you asked, word your initial question better since he answered what you did ask... Don't be snippy with someone who is attempting to help you.

As for your new question, different compression algorithm do different things better or worse than others. LZ4 is traditionally better at do than GZIP, which is what a kernel traditionally uses.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Alxoom33:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION], EX 4.17 working great with the February 7.1.1 patch.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] RandomPooka:
It might also help [MENTION=4834231]ikramii[/MENTION] if someone explained that lz4 and gzip are just a couple of the various forms of compression that can be used when compiling and packaging a kernel, so that it fits in the limited boot partition space. It gets unpacked at boot in order to be loaded into memory and used to basically translate everything to the hardware what the OS wants to do.

There's pros and cons to just about every compression method, so if you really are interested in why one may be used over another, fire up the old Googles and start researching.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
He told me I was rude for suggesting that.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] RandomPooka:
So I saw. I was jealous and wanted to be called rude as well. There weren't any worthwhile political arguments on FB tonight, so I figured I'd come troll the kernel dev boards looking for people to piss off.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] rignfool:
Well...

You are... And should be ashamed of yourself! /s

Not absolute max but what is OC that they all can achieve?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Alxoom33:
I like OC'g to 2880 which minimizes random reeboots. If I go up to 3000+ I will occasionally get issues. E.g. when I am navigating and listening to streaming radio, I may get a reeboot when I get a notification.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] lantigua:
No sound for me. I am on Feb stock 7.0 build with latest ex kernel and can't get sound to work. Any ideas?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] githyanki:
You'll need to use 4.14 or older.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mal13:
Has anyone tried latest version on Aicp or Lineage or Pure or so???
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Yo-Yo-E:
I'm using on beanstalk (Lineage). works well for me
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] adm1jtg:
Using it on RR which is lineage based... no issues
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
you ask "ALL" and if you really mean all it's the default (stock) value wich is why it's that and not a higher one :)

of course on tick up it's safe to say that 99% will run on that one as well but already 2 ticks higher there are quite a few that would fail.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] leo5111:
No that's not true at all either they can all achieve at least somewhat of an overclock
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
a) why you ask if you know better

b) that's what i said, i wrote 99% and that's it

finally the question is useless and i should not have answered in the first place, sorry for helping to clog the thread.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Alxoom33:
Has anyone modified their Nexus 6 data and Cache to F2s. Does Ex 4.17 kernel support F2s?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] RandomPooka:
I've held off on it because of kernel and other software support, and because I haven't honestly looked into the benefits vs the drawbacks.

Is it one of those things that buys you a second or two at boot and a fraction of a second on app load times? Or are there more long term benefits for RAM module life?

---------- Post added at 03:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 PM ----------

Every time I see someone bring it up, I hear one or more other people saying that you can't use it with something else.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Alxoom33:
I converted my Pixel C to F2fs and it feels blazing fast. Although it was fast in the first place.

I need to know if the kernel supports F2fs before I try converting my N6 to speed it up a bit.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] gkennedy88:
missing the boot disc image file????

i downloaded it and unzipped it and there is no .boot disc image in it for me to use for the no force encrypt? where is all of the kernel? i have no clue what aroma installer is and when i google where to get it or how to use it it simply said if u dont know what it is then you dont need it go find anouther kernal that already uses it
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] githyanki:
I don't know what your wanting to do.

You only have to install the zip in twrp.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] gkennedy88:
I use the Nexus root toolkit and inorder to use this on there I have to have a boot disk image file to flash to the boot section of the hard drive the reason I'm doing it this way is because wug fresh hasn't updated the Nexus root toolkit for the February updates yet so I can't do it seamlesslly I have to do them one at a time.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] githyanki:
None of the roms or kernels on XDA are really meant to be done with toolkits, you are much better off flashing the files from twrp. If you want to use a toolkit to do these things, you will experience much more difficulty than just doing things the way the developers recommend.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] gkennedy88:
Well it worked very easy the last few times I did it and Gerard was making a Kernal for it but his broke and he stopped now I don't have any other way
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] RandomPooka:
Ditch NRT and learn how to flash in TWRP.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] githyanki:
The horse is dead. He doesn't want to, let him go. I have suggested it twice, he says there is no other way for him, so I am not going to try any more.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
everyone should learn how to fastboot flash and once that is understood use twrp or whatever recovery tool as a means of comfort.

sooner or later we need the basic knowledge to troubleshoot and work around issues, rarely but still and then it's sooo.... easy as well.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dictionary:
Exactly this.^^

NRT if you're being lazy, but know how to fastboot flash is fine. The problem is, people use NRT, mess up something one way or the other, and then can't understand the help we give them, because they've never used adb or fastboot before. It's not fair to us to have to explain over and over again how to install, then use fastboot.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jimbomodder:
I had to learn adb+fastboot when I got my N6, now I just use TWRP for everything as it's much easier.

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dictionary:
I learned about it with my nexus one, htc hero, etc. See, you can work fastboot/adb, so I totally get ya. I think we all use twrp for most things, but I'm glad you can work with the tools as well.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jimbomodder:
Coming from Samsung ( Odin did it all) it was a challenge but with some help I figured it out. I feel if you intend to flash things on your device you should learn the basics first, then use NRT and TWRP as they are quicker and recovery is always with you so you can just flash and carry on.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dictionary:
Yup, now back to the kernel! Sorry Flar2
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Alxoom33:
Try using FlashFire. Works great as long as you are rooted.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] iamjimmy:
When I was installing this kernel in the AROMA interface, I accidentally selected the Battery light option. Now every time I connect to the charger there is a green LED light.

I wanted to disable this battery light. The ROM options (Pure Nexus) are already disabled. There is no option in Kernel Adiutor to disable battery light.

Any help in what I could do? Is the only resort flashing the kernel again? Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Wi1son:
LED Settings in EX Kernel Manager?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Alxoom33:
Get Ex Kernel Manager Pro, look in miscellaneous, Led settings. Uninstall Kernel Auditor.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] rignfool:
Why is reflashing the kernel a last resort... It takes like 2 minutes... Affects nothing... And changes settings...

I think he uses a config script... But I don't remember where it is...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
I had to get rid of it with Nougat.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] imjimmy:
I tried to reflash the Kernel, but it still didn't remove the LED.

What worked was going to stock first - flashing the boot.img of the ROM from Fastboot, and then dirty flashing the Kernel again.

---------- Post added at 07:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 AM ----------

Thanks. I'm going to uninstall Kernel Adiutor.

For whatever reason, Kernel Adiutor doesn't display all of the config options for this kernel. For instance, I couldn't find the vibration strength adjustment in Kernel adiutor with this kernel.

I'm going to go buy the Ex Kernel Manager. I've just started using this Kernel so didn't have the app yet.. I had earlier bought Franco's kernel adjustment app ( I had always used Franco on my previous phones). With the Shamu, I was using other kernels (Elite, Blackbird etc) and used Kerneal Adiutor. Just recently started using Elemental X.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
This affects s2w, and dt2w if s2w is enabled.

If you only enable dt2w, and not s2w, it's the stock dt2w.

Should I nix the stock dt2w and just use my own?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Krunk83:
I've taken your advice here and am using both s2w and dt2w with great results. Used in combination dt2w works fine with minimal battery drain from both.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] slickie88:
I have yet to encounter dt2w issues and I use it constantly. It's all I have enabled and it's never not worked.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] kr3w1337:
You've come a long way with this kernel... I'm sitting on - 80 uv now. In the early days it was nothing. Thanks and good stuff
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] n80k:
I don't believe it.. I just got 9 hours of SOT today and still going as I type this post. I've been using this kernel since 0.06 and while I've loved it I've never gotten more than 6hrs. I've been running 0.09 today up until i flashed 0.10 (which explains the gap in battery info in the screenshot) this afternoon when it came out. Running stock ROM and settings except for elementalx gov, 2048 read ahead and have s2w s2s and dt2w enabled. I just tried the elementalx governor today for the first time since it was disabled in a previous build. Good work Flar!

Oh, and the s2w seems to be working much better in 0.10. Thanks!

DT2W & S2W are working so great ! For the first time I can actally use them with this phone :)

Great job !!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] n80k:
My screen brightness was at about 25% up the brightness slider. I was using wifi all day. No mobile data. I have everything enabled (Bluetooth NFC GPS). I left the screen on all day today so I could keep track of my fantasy football score as I am in the championship game. Looks like I'll be taking home the trophy. Odell Beckham Jr FTW!!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] paychex:
Please don't. I like having the native one. Always works for me. Sometimes might need an extra tap or two
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] D-m-x:
Thanks for the clarification! Well, i will try it with both enabled for now to see if it works better. But i guess you should use which ever Method works better. In my opinion if only DT2W is enabled right now it is pretty unreliable, but I'm just one guy, I don't know what others have to say about that.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Scott:
Bought and paid for! Your kernels are the best compliment to any device.. Especially those running CleanROM!

The only aftermarket kernel I recommend!

If you need help testing please let me know. Will be happy to help!

Thanks!

-Scott
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] D-m-x:
After one hour of use with both enabled, S2W and DT2W i can already say DT2W is working much better, every time i want to wake it up it just works.

I think you should ditch the Stock implementation and just use yours, works much better!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ricey1986:
I have also noticed this, if only DT2W is selected sometimes it doesnt recognise it your tap and you have to do it several time for it to flag up. With the S2W enabled it registers every time for me.

On a side note you know what would be a cool feature (probably more rom related) double tap to ambient screen, I find the accelerometer a little bit too eager for me sometimes.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] D-m-x:
Exactly the same for me only DT2W enabled and you propably need 2-3 trys. With both enabled it works quite well.

I guess those features will come in time, it's just the beginning and already great devs are working and doing their magic :) I think we will see plenty of cool features in the next months :D
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] r0cafella:
With both enabled im getting it to work 99% of the time it really is a massive improvement over old versions.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dannieloco:
STW.. Swipe left or right? does it matter? Ive enabled swipe left TW.. and DT2W..
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Daiskei:
Did you remove FauxSound? Saw it in the list of features before but I'm not seeing it now.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
Never had fauxsound, but will add it if faux has developed it for this device.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
Hey flar, updated to .10 and running great so far. No reboots, stutters, or any other performance problems at all that I can see right now. Oh, my question I asked a few days ago :) Do you have any thoughts on the possibility of making ambient display less sensitive (or adjustable) in the kernel? Just curious [emoji16]
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] rignfool:
I feel like a photocopier... But...

WHY would you think [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] would ship his kernel... HIS BABY... Without what he felt were the best settings?!?

Do you think he would sabotage himself?

I can see it now... "These settings are awesome... But I'm gonna ship it with these settings that suck... So I look like a hero when I post these in the thread..."

Said no dev ever
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] cianz94:
What kind of problem do you have? ?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] rignfool:
I have been on this forum for 6 maybe 7 years at this point...

And have watched it go from a place where I could learn something... To a freakin help desk for people that shouldn't be messing with phones...

If you look back... I posted almost the EXACT same post less than 6 months ago...

If you were really interested in this kernel... And worried about your phone... You probably would have read/seen the post...

If not... You would have found it with search...

Anyone know if EX 4.17 supports F2fs?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] RandomPooka:
In the second post, it says f2fs mount is in one of the early changelogs
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Alxoom33:
Yes, I saw that, actually in post #3. But not sure what that means?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] RandomPooka:
For it to be able to mount f2fs, that has to be either a kernel module or built into the kernel. Android no longer uses kernel modules, to my knowledge. That should mean it's baked into the kernel.

You could check the github for the current build tree and look for f2fs related commits, to be sure.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
I am mixed on this question as some suffer from splitscreen with stock ElementalX settings. The recommended fix as suggested by [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] is switching to the Interactive governor. I assume [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] tuned his kernel for his elementalx governor which I believe is based on ondemand governor. What I'm getting at is they behave differently.

On the otherhand there is no best settings it is finding what works best for your usage. I ended adapting one of the advanced interactive governor tweaks for the Nexus 5x and Nexus 6p, for my Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] paradise-san:
Great job, thank you. This kernel kept my shamu chugging along even when it was already outdated. If only you could provide a profile to solve the greenish hue of the screen, it would be even better.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ndarkside93:
Can anyone give me the target load values for the interactive governor on this Rom?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
which rom, this is the kernel thread and at least i have no clue which rom you're using or was it i typo ?

Pretty sure this is one of those times the system and boot images need to match.

Are you running stock 7.1.1 ROM with March 5 2017 security patch? If not, use the previous kernel.

I tried a previous kernel on the March security update system.img and lost all speaker sound on that combination and it sounds like mixing the other way does the same thing.
