Does it work with 2nd N preview?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Alxoom33:
Yes, works great with N Preview2 on my Nexus 6.

---------- Post added at 10:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 AM ----------

But don't just take my word, if your read back both [MENTION=5372360]magnamentis[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] said it works.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Emilius:
work for me to but I can get full root. Example, can not save build.prop.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] abogrhen:
super su is now systemless root

That means the system img is not modified

so maybe this is the problem

as other apps like adaway and busybox had an error

when I tried activating it

but after I flashed busybox and adawy throw recovery

they work now

so I don't know if super su need an update

or the apps need an update to allow systemless root
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
if we consider the general path google is taking for quite a while now and considering that [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] agrees to that path and makes his root methods more and more compliant by closing gaps and loop holes ( permissive got even harder for example ) we have to assume that app developers have to accept the new "wind direction" and comply with the "new rules" or with the stricter implementation of those not "that" new rules.

thing is that some app devs did not take action yet for quite some time and this is a pitty because some of those apps are essential for my setup as well as, at least in parts, unique, which is probably why they did not yet jump on that bandwagon, one could easily call it a bit of arrogance IMHO.

of course, that said, i will wisely refrains from naming any of them LOL
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mibgeneral:
I confirmed as well, no issues so far.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] RiggyRiggs:
Nice! Mines still going good, been little more then a day so I think all is well with the setup.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] nixie2121:
anyone know a Nexus 6 ROM that used elementalx as the default kernel?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] nathanchance:
I think Bliss does... or did.

Update!!!

Update for N preview 2

**not tested**

let me know that it works properly and I will push it to EX Kernel Manager

Download

ElementalX-N6-4.03

Changes:

-update for N preview 2
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Alxoom33:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION], Tried flashing 4.03 using Flash fire on my N6 running Android N P2. Used Flash fire and wiped catches. Rebooted OK. But My EX KM could not aquire root. I also could not open Super Su 2.71 Pro app. Tried simple Reebot, which apparently acquired root but did not Reebot. So I manually reebooted into bootloader and then TWRP recovery. Flashed 4.01 and everything works again.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] laosguy:
Camera stopped working with 4.03
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
wipe camera and photo app data and caches and try again
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] abogrhen:
after flashing the camera don't work

and super su crash and ex app stay on waiting for root screen

---------- Post added at 01:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 PM ----------

Can't even open the app info to clear data?

now I flashed 4.01back and it works fine

I think this is google problem

as they said the camera have problem

but using the older kernel it works

so maybe they missed up the kernel on dp2
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] laosguy:
Did that crashed again after one photo
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] cyberbandit1998:
I'm using the newest on v2 working great.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
You will need to do a 100% clean install (factory reset) for 4.03 and N preview 2.

Massive changes.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Alxoom33:
I updated my Nexus 6 via Google's Beta OTA from Stock-unrooted N1 to N2 Stock; and then rooted with SU 2.71 and flashed the EX 4.01 kernel. The combination works extremely well.

No real issues, as compared to my Stock unrooted Pixel C that was updated to N2 by OTAs.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION], with no disrespect meant, I don't understand how would a clean install improve the operation of the N2 OS with 4.03? I understand that a clean flash may enable 4.03 to work properly with N2, but what does it do better than the current N2 4.01 combination that I have been using without issue?

---------- Post added at 10:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 AM ----------

I used the Beta OTA from Stock 29V MM to N1, btw.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] cyberbandit1998:
I can get it to boot on N2 but has few bugs that may need be looked at. I have attached screenshots. One is the 2 cores are stuck at maxed out and second it missing the temp adjustment.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] fordthunder:
Anyone else have trouble with the kernel on stock settings? When I'm charging the phone it becomes the biggest piece of sh!t.

So slow that i have to unplug it to use it and then plug it back in.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
did you have the impression that anyone else has this problem, don't you think the thread would overflow from complaints if it would be like that?

do this and find out when it starts or with a bit of luck it will be gone: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62192068&postcount=4059

this works only if you respect 3 key points:

a) add settings and features and apps in increments to keep the group of possible culprits as small as possible

b) make a nandroid of each working configuration to save time to re-begin each time from scratch

c) reboot after making major changes to see if all still works as expected after settings are applied for sure
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
Google is making really fundamental changes under the hood. I haven't installed preview 2 on my N6 yet, but on my N9 I needed a factory reset. The settings were all messed up, apps were crashing, etc. It was all screwed up. You really need to start fresh sometimes.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
yeah, this and things became extremely device specific. for the N6 the transition from N1 to N2 went very smooth, same combo like [MENTION=256852]ALX[/MENTION]oom and confirm that things work very well indeed. even got a few more apps running. only thing i haven't solved yet is permissive mode, the zip does neither make the kernel permissive nor does it prevent the device to boot into safe mode. i have to stop logd and then i can set it to permissive but only till next boot, next boot would revert into save mode and i'd have to flash ssu again to fix it.

however to keep in touch with development and and since it's not my daily driver it's totally ok for me. if only all app developers would finally make their apps work in enforcing, many of us could save a lot of time and hassle. it's just that some of them are unique for my use case and i wouldn't want to miss them ( 2-3 only)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
Alright, now I have installed preview 2 and there is something going on. I'm rebasing the kernel and trying again.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
Update!!!

Update for N preview 2

**tested and working**

It needed a rebase

You are an awesome developer [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------

4.04 hits the Bulls Eye. Working nicely. Phone seems much more peppy. Nexus 6 running N2 Beta OTA.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] fhblake04:
Running 4.04 with [MENTION=5284958]tupac4u[/MENTION] debloated preview 2. All is good.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] patriot76:
Thanks for the rebase. I was having severe issues with 4.03.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] abogrhen:
4.04 work great for me
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ohad129:
What is missing with tupac build its so small di i need any gapps after? Can i dirty flash?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] fhblake04:
Tupac's builds are debloated, and only have an essential package to run. I wouldn't recommend dirty flashing.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ohad129:
Ok did TB will work after? To restore all my apps?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] fhblake04:
I do not use TB. But, it is prerooted. I'd ask this question on his thread.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ohad129:
Got it Tb not works
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Phrodini:
A lot of people said TB hasn't worked for backup or restoring since the first preview of Android N

The pac lite N2 is really nice too
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ohad129:
Pac lite?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Alxoom33:
You can always flash stock N2 and debloat yourself. N is not so jam packed in System partition as MM.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] abogrhen:
For me, after flashing the dp1 &2

I installed system apps Uninstaller

And removed any Google apps that are available in the store then reboot

then download most of Google app for

to keep system little free Just in case

The debloated N preview 2 by tupacs4u

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 PM ----------

That's what I did. But then after trying to get certain mods to work (reflashed system a few times) it was easier just to have those already out on lite
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Alxoom33:
Does anyone know the list of changes made by Google in N1 and N2?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
you have to look it up but you find probably 99% of changes there if not all of them. there is a resume somewhere and several single articles:

quick question...using VR cardboard and apps, the phone gets very hot. is there a setting I can change to help this or is it just the nature of the beast so to say?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
It's the nature of the beast. VR requires a lot of processing.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] nixie2121:
thanks, I figured but thought I'd ask anyway!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] nixie2121:
do you think switching from elemental to performance gov would help?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
why do you think so? more performance = more heat, if anything you'd have to reduce performance and eventually undervolt ( i don't recommend that, am even against it but if your chipset is good enough it could help reduce temps.

much more important is to thoroughly narrow down what is causing the heat or check temps and check if what you consider hot is just normal.

once you know why it's getting hot you can search a workaround, provided it's indeed overheating (misbehaving), else there only remains to

mention that power = heat and the only way to avoid that is to buy a less powerful phone, (not kidding)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] nixie2121:
thanks, I know nothing and just threw it out there. your response makes perfect sense though.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
Cache error. Theses are usually csused by ndervolting or overclocking
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
thanks, since i'm not OC'd or UV'd i suspect fsync disabled or or just a rare glitch.

attached please find shots with cpu & voltage tabel just to make sure that i'm not in for something i did but am not aware of :)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Daandofreak:
U are over volted. On 300 it's normally 680.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] antiochasylum:
+1, still not as responsive as .6 its hit or miss.

.6 was everytime. This is still 4-5-6 times and sometimes have to use power button. :(
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] poczynek:
Yes I just reverted to the .8 version and a lot more responsive.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
I might be able to make the s2w sensitivity adjustable. But first I want to try something else. I haven't investigated yet, but I think the initial touch may not be registering consistently from deep sleep. Then you try again quickly and the gesture gets canceled before it registers due to some failsafes that I added to prevent accidental wakes. I've had a couple devices where the touch driver was like this.

If this ius like I suspect, s2w will work every time if you touch the screen briefly and then make a swipe gesture.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BRKotucs:
Awesome! That'd be nice. S2W is a hit or miss on #9. I appreciate you looking into it though. Thanks a lot.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] agarth1050:
Like it this way as it reduces waking and drain for me.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] phillysmako:
Anyone having luck running this on liquid smooth? I got .09 to run and boot fine but sometimes it will reboot and then my phone just bootloops that's at any frequency
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] adio201:
Just got my first reboot with .09 how can o send you a log flar
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
adb shell su -c cat /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops > kmsg.txt

Could you please describe your setup as well? I can't understand where all the reboots are coming from. I've been using this phone as my daily driver for nearly two weeks and have no issues. I have so far not seen one log that shows a kernel error.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] adio201:
Need to do it from a PC? I have oc just next level from stock and UV by -50 across. All I was doing is sending some pictures put the phone in my pocket took it out and boom reboot
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
Well, you should not report reboots if you undervolt or overclock.

But I want to see any logs I can get, so if you want to do it from the phone, use ES file explorer ( or similar) to save the file to your sdcard.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Johnny424:
any log I can grab for s2w issues flar?

doubletap works flawless on 0.9 but s2w doesn't seem to be cooperating .. worked fine with 0.8 and older. one out of 8-10 attempts with sweep up on 0.9

let me know if I can help somehow

edit. I should note a few details. issue with s2w is as soon as the phone goes off trying right away (or in the first 5-10 seconds) trying to power back on. not just a deep sleep issue.

stock ROM. no mods or other items installed. default settings except one step oc and ex gov.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
Am I the only one that every time I first see this I swear it says rampoops? Sorry [emoji16]
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
I don't have debugging info enabled for s2w. I will make it more sensitive in the next update.

You will have that wake lock on any kernel. I will see if it can be reduced, but it can't be eliminated.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] housry23:
It's unbelievable how demanding people are. Here you are, working on this for free and sharing with us. I haven't noticed any bad wakelocks, but I use greenify, so there's that.

Getting great battery life flar2. Thanks for your work and can't wait to see how good this gets. I remember elementalx getting better and better on the Nexus 5!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Link2811:
Hi !

Is it normal to have ~2h45 SOT, with 100% brightness no adaptative Wi-Fi only (no sim card) ?

I see people with much more like 5h00 SOT but maybe they are at 20% brightness ?

Please help me !
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] xxfwmxx:
Yeah why would you keep it so bright. My screen stays around 20-30% brightness which is more than enough for most things and my battery life rocks.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mjohnson4580:
If I wanted to adjust gpu stuff where would it be located at? I know cpu is at sys/device/system/cpu. But I can't seem to find gpu settings.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
It depends on many factors, do you have poor cell reception?

/sys/class/kgsl/kgsl-3d0
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
what's the purpose of your post?

if you read my initial post on the matter i mentioned that i'm over-volted by 10mV ?

flar2 said eventually cause can be: UNDERvolting and OVERclocked and i'm neither, i'm over-volted for good reason.

and no it's not 680mV in my case ( apply on boot deactivated and booted ) it's 710 for my device.

NOT ALL devices use the same voltages, depends on PVS and mine is bad which is probably the reason for any issues of this kind.

i mentioned that overvolting reduced my RRs from once a day to once a month which is an improvment, the rest does not matter.

however, this reply is because if i say i'm overvolted it makes little sense to tell me i'm overvolted (see screenshot below, red rectangle)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Daandofreak:
Really, that's new to me, thx for answering. Means same device but can have different voltage.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
a bit more info and googling will shed more light even, assuming that you're interested :)

PVS goes from 1-15 and 3 is very bad :( while even bad is great, i'm fine with my N6, not easy to replace because want 6" for media device, my phone device is either N5 and OP2
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flar2:
You could try stock voltage, that type of error can be caused by heat too. Or it's just a random glitch.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
true that, i believe its a glitch because 1h idle with nothing to do but to "Doze" LOL i can's see heat, also because i witnessed the boot screen and picked the device up immediately to take the logs upon finishing boot i did not recognize any heat.

cache error can really happen as an incident and as long as it does not repeat itself i'm fine. on the other side since it was a rare occasion i took the opportunity to take a full set of logs and ask. could have been an app or whathaveyou :) all well, no further reboot today and the last was about a month before that.

enjoy the weekend and coming spring
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] parcou:
So whats a baseline setting?

This is all good info I appreciate to post of all that comment on their kernel settings for the N6 just hard to digest it all with lack of knowledge...for me I am running PN rom. However I am still a bit of a novice...

I do know each N6 are not all clones some are a bit different...same as I see when I open new PC's of the same model in our lab some are better than others...

from what I can gather seems to me that most leave settings for N6 on this kernel somewhat default... And/or change:

Schedule: deadline

Readahead: 2048

Gov: Interactive

After that does leave me a bit confused if CPU Boost\Voltage for:

Boost ms

Input boost frequency

Input boos ms

voltage

Could the above be modified for slight better performance improvement...? .and battery not being the main driver seeing for me EX with PN is great on battery regardless of my kernel tweaks. Guess what I am trying to see what is a good

baseline

? Guess most would say default but what's the next level up above that without going extreme.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
This as far as the battery is concerned, you can kill it with bad settings but not much improve it without significant side effects on perfomance, read this:

http://elementalx.org/the-truth-about-kernels-and-battery-life/

as to the rest you're in for default settings, they serve your wishes best IMO. never change a winning team except to make it better for sure or for test, hence you test, which means what others say does not necessarily fit your imaginations, or you read through kernel stuff to find out what might be an improvement for you without risk. then make nandroids if you choose the testing path, just to be on the safe side.

best example is display tweaking, i like it bright and blueish (white = white LOL ) and others like warm colors, play with settings and profiles and see what meets your requirements and with the other settings it's very similar, just not so obvious like optical impressions.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] razen_kain:
Idk of this is known or what. I've never read anyone mention this but if I'm looking at a logcat, every time I touch the screen it throws a long string of errors (touch boost: failed to send: no such file or directory). Is this normal?

All settings are default/stock.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] rignfool:
Yup... Normal... It's the powerhal looking for a disabled mpdecision...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
Lol, saw the question and couldn't remember but I could have sworn flar said no biggie but didn't want to misinform :angel:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] parcou:
Lag

Let me ask the question another way. I am running the EX latest 3.15 for my rom and not on any Preview update. I am all default on the kernel settings well 2048 for the deadline schedule only change.

Sometimes I experience a little lag when opening apps or doing few functions on the phone. Anything or setting in the kernel I am enable to help over come that?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
from your sig one can assume that you're using xposed like myself and chance is close to 100% that one of your xposed modules or xposed itself causes such lag. i as well have a specific lag opening an one app only but it's gone without xposed. in my case it's worth the little downside but that really depends on which app and in which context such a lag occurs.

you can make an easy test,

- make a nandroid of currrent state in case of the test result is negative (not related)

- uninstall (not deactivate, uninstall!!!) all modules

- either dirty flash rom or unsinstall xposed, first is better to avoid residues

- see how it goes ( whether the lag is gone )

- if yes install xposed without modules > test, one module > test, next module > test, till the lag is back

now you decide whether you prefer to go without that module or live with the lag like i did.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] pkgnex:
You could also try reducing the read_ahead_kb from 2048 to 128, and try changing deadline to noop to see if that helps.

Having high read_ahead_kb, in particular, can cause some latency (lag) depending on your usage. Higher values generally allow for more efficient sequential i/o reads if you are doing a lot of i/o, but if you are just doing random small tasks you are in effect reading in an extra (up to) 2 MB with every read operation that may not be gaining you any actual throughput... and that extra memory reading takes some time away from other things the processor could be doing.

Either of these changes may, or may not, help, but would be worth trying if you continue to have issues.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
admitting that one can try everything i predict and i'm 100% sure that this will not get anyone rid of lag. 2-3k buffer is a very widely spread choice and all measurements i've ever performed have shown those value a good compromise. i'm using 2688 or 2048 depending on the device for many years and across currently 7 devices, each with 2-3 differnet roms kept current and there have been only positive effects. that said i repeat, we can try things out but as i think it comes across, 128 read-ahead is not what i would recommend and will more probably come with a few downsides. let's see and finally hope for him that i'm wrong this time LOL
