Nice job. Difficulties?

My N6 is from December 2014, I think slow charging is good for the battery; lower temp when charging.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Cobra11Murderer:
Lots and lots of glue, if thinking of changing it just be slow and careful. I did mine without a heat gun.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Guapo613:
[MENTION=334712]francisco[/MENTION], will you be porting your most xlint kernel to work on 8.0/8.1?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ryanallaire:
Not that hard, peeling off the back is a little stressful if you haven't done it before, main thing to watch is the qi wireless charging cable..
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] sandman96:
[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] in your kernel manager app I can't disable underclocking the cpu from battery life labs. It says applied no matter how many times I push restore or what my battery percentage is. And if I try to set the max cpu frequency to 2649 it changes itself to 1700. Is there a setting I'm missing that is causing this?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] MrSmileyJr:
So I replaced the kernel on my lineage os installation with this and I immediately noticed an improvement.

However, camera would unsync the audio & video on recorded videos. when playing video, first you would hear 10-20% of audio, and only then would video (which starts frozen) would play (and then at end only video going...). So I tried your instructions above. First video seemed to work fine. yay! But then not long after, I noticed that phone was generally slower than before again, and video problem came back. Any suggestions?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] IntenseColor:
The problem went away after I downgraded to r73.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] MrSmileyJr:
Ok, I will try that - did you need to wipe dalvik/cache too? Also, are there different problems that come with r73 that were fixed in r75? everything else is working way better than it did on stock kernel, so if the only problem is the camera and everything else is 100% then at least it functions for the more important things in my life - being a phone & communication device.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] IntenseColor:
Wiping cache isn't necessary. Also I don't notice any difference other than the camera.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] McMannes:
How can i uninstall this kernel?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mugendon:
Flash the stock kernel.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jimbomodder:
I'm sure you used to be able to get just boot img, I really need it just boot img for 7.1.1 if it's available
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mugendon:
Yes you can extract the factory image of the nexus 6 and just flash the boot.img.

[MENTION=4895778]McMannes[/MENTION]

A custom kernel can make quite a difference. Here is my week to week comparison between Elemental X and Franco (based on two comparable work weeks):
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Jeffro64:
Morning all...I have a factory 7.1.1 N6F27M image on my Nexus 6 rooted that I use every day. When I bring up Kernel Manager it says that there is a kernel available for my device (r75) which is fine, but it says my version is (r1)? Is that not a Android 5.0 Lollipop kernel...and why would Google use that kernel in a Android 7.1.1 Nougat image? I downloaded the image from google to upgrade my Nexus before rooting since I wasn't getting OTA's anymore. Also if I flash the recommended kernel will it mess up anything because of this? Thanks!

(EDIT) OK...I went ahead and flashed r75 and it went well. Phone seems to be snappier and running well so after a recharge I'll see if the battery lasts longer. Played around with some of the settings and one thing I found that I know is working is the sound boost for my headset! Nice gain there!! Hope the mic boost works as well. Thanks [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] for your work on this...Now waiting on my other Nexus 6 for the 8.1 kernel that's coming!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Jeffro64:
Way better battery life!

Huge improvement on battery life! Gotta say I'm impressed with your work [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION]...This kernel is awesome!!!!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] MrSmileyJr:
when connected to my car's bluetooth, if I try to make a call, phone app crashes & then phone reboots. If I connect to bluetooth after phone call started, then no problem - is this related to the kernel?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] giannis_mathiou:
Seeing that Lineage 15.1 is getting ready for our device, probably this Monday we will get the first stable official build... I think that this means more stable device trees and kernel trees for shamu, which should make developers life a bit less of a struggle.

So [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] , do you plan to continue supporting shamu with Franco Kernel for Oreo?

Not asking for ETA, just wanted to know your plans/thoughts about shamu.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] RingooXDA:
can i flash this kernel on rr 8.1
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] iSplassh:
No, it's not compatible with 8.x ROM's yet. We have to wait for an update.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] RingooXDA:
oww ok so we wait for update thank you ;)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] firstwardo:
I am also getting bluesleep and msm_serial_hs_dma-144 wakelocks 100% of the time of bluetooth is on on r75, even with no devices paired or connected. The wakelock is much more reasonable on stock or r74.

EDIT: After some testing, I found that reverting a commit related to bluesleep fixed this issue. I have opened an issue on github. This also explains why I was having the same issue with ElementalX, because the same commit has been merged in from LineageOS as well.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] fueled:
iam on nitrogen os 8.1 with elementalx kernel builtin. iam facing shutdown issues when running games specially clash royale and mafia city when going below 50% battery. iam not sure why is it happening , i havent changed or edit anything. someone told me that cpu overclocking is the cause of my problem and i have to change the kernel if i want to achieve stable gaming. now what must i do. 2 best kernels r there . elementalx is overclocking my phone and franco not available for 8.1 roms .

help me.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Teletaggi:
So I installed the FKU (paid version), clicked on flash, it pops up the notification that its updating the kernel an "magical enhancements incoming" ...

The notification however doesnt go away (not even overnight). Rebooting a few times etc doesnt help. It only gets rid of the Updating Kernel message. "Manual" flashing through FKU has the exact same effect. SU seems to also need flashing the Kernel. What am I missing? Flash a different Kernel beforehand somehow??

EDIT: Nexus 6, latest Patches, never tempered with it in any way.

EDIT2: I managed to get into recovery mode and when I try to "apply update from SD card" it just says its unable to mount sdcard... Guess its not gonna happen ^^
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] githyanki:
What TWRP version, and what root?

Also what ROM and it's version.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Teletaggi:
I have everything on stock.. Guess there are some prerequisites missing in the installation instructions ^^

Off to Google I go. Dont even know what TWRP is :D

Thanks for the pointer :)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Teletaggi:
Guess I'll give up for now. Errors everywhere. In 6 hours I havent encountered any tutorial that was working exactly as described. Apparently with 7.1.1 a bit has changed and I cant get fastboot to flash anything - I can neither get TWRP running nor install the Kernel that way. Some suggest it can be a cable, USB port or Win 10 issue - the first 2 I tried switching but I can't do much about my OS right now :eek:

I'm gonna first post in other threads before I might come back. Sry but for now I'll have to get rid of the app...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ktmom:
Try minimal fastboot/adb. The N6 is no long supported and I suspect the new versions will no longer work with this device.

"Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment." - Will Rogers
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Teletaggi:
Thanks I gave it one more try and it actually worked. For anyone else trying this on a Nexus 6:

I downloaded the 1.0 version from here: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

(didnt need extra drivers)

Set usb debugging mode on the phone

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot oem unlock (this will ask you to wipe your phone, so restart the phone afterwards, let it reinstall everything and set debugging mode again)

download zip on the phone

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

and then go into recovery mode(no restart after flashing) and flash the previously downloaded zip

I have a problem with NightShift. A couple last kernel versions, the NightShift does not turn OFF in the morning, whether it's "Auto Sunrise/Sunset" or "Manual times". The feature turns on perfectly, but doesn't turn OFF
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] paulmerrill:
Anyone have an ETA on a Franco kernel for Nexus 6 that can replace the LineageOS 15.1 kernel? I assume/hope one will be available?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mugendon:
Currently no custom kernels are supported for 15.1 so there is no ETA.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
It not true that we (LineageOS) don't support custom kernels. It's just that there aren't any compatible ones available.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mugendon:
Would have quoted you from the LOS thread but I guess I misinterpreted what you said. It sounded much like it is a lot harder to make a custom kernel for 15.1 (than 14) and thus almost impossible.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Dungeon47:
[MENTION=3383960]Elektroschmock[/MENTION] correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the reason there aren't custom kernels for 15.1 isn't as much a matter of difficulty as a matter of instability as changes are made to LOS base, and therefore LOS-based ROMs, which affect kernel compatibility. Not intentionally breaking compatibility, but being unable to avoid doing so to make needed or desired changes. I think as get further into development, kernel compatibility will stabilize. Or I could be missing the whole thing entirely.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] MiroALG:
dear franco are you planing to continued the build for shamu if no please close this forum
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] The Doctor04:
What does it matter if this thread is open or not? The Dev can leave this open if he feels fit, stop back seat modding mate
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] MiroALG:
i can't see francokernel not supporting as because I love her kernel so much
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Axel85:
Here is the same. Now I'm trying with all the display features integrated in the rom disabled.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] yayakuya:
hello there legendary [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION]

i own a Moto X Pro XT1115 (chinese version of Nexus 6) running on RR Nougat

because this device lacks of kernel developers, i dare to test any of SD-805 devices custom kernel (only those using "any kernel" patch ofcourse)

so i try This kernel and it just works as well for the first attempt... w/o any problem.

i'm here already tried yours and the ElementalX kernel but unfortunately it won't boot (forced to bootloader screen)

i wonder why MXP that have identical HW to N6 (only different on sensors thing) can't make it to use this kernel, but perfectly works with Moto Maxx's kernel.

so, my purpose is wanted to use your kernel for my (or maybe MXP users out there) device

if you don't mind, please take a look on it (Maxx's kernel) what is make my MXP fail to boot

i hope you have a time to grant my (our) wish :fingers-crossed:

thank you and sorry for my bad english (not my native lang)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ikramii:
Looks like n6 franco kernel is dead. No support for oreo :(
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] MiroALG:
yes he don't like Nexus6
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Jays08:
Not sure, i ask him a few weeks ago on twitter and he say he has other devices first.

I think we just have to be patient.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] MiroALG:
we are about to get android p bro and he not looking at our device ilove her kernel iam still running android 7.1.2 because her kernel
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mugendon:
Since this thread isn't used for kernel related stuff anymore, I'd like to give you a small hint:

he -> his

she -> her
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] MiroALG:

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Jays08:
I ask him again on twitter, waiting for response. When he answer i post here.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] MiroALG:
thank you bro
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Jays08:
No news about 8.1 version ! Francisco no answering me. would anyone have information ?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] cujo6801:
I'll just say this

he got married just couple of days ago or so..

I don't think he'll be answering anybody/anytime soon...

And second now this is just my opinion but a while back he got attacked in the thread when he was trying to help out and he hasn't posted anything since

so I think he's done with Shamu...

Again just my opinion I don't know so don't @ me...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dudikaz:
has anyone noticed that video recording is broken in r74 and r75?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] NLBeev:
I've read many of his posts and learned a lot of his pro responses. Also that he is capable to handle attacks.

Eol of shamu is thinkable, but nevertheless we all have had profit of his knowledge and work for more years.

With respect and many thanks!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Jays08:
News news news ! I asked Francisco on twitter for update on Shamu for 8.1 and he just answer : it's planned.

Now we just have to wait but our Nexus 6 is always alive !!!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] MiroALG:
good news
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] kevoroid:
Just in case it might be useful to someone, I flashed the latest FrancoKernel- r75 on my N6 7.1.1 (rooted and Xposed enabled, everything else is kinda stock), I can say for sure at least 30%/40% increase in power and battery usage improvement. Long live Motorola Nexus 6!

kudos!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] rushier.ivan:
[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] I saw on your g+ post that you will update for this device. Does that mean that franco kernel for shamu will finally support oreo & pie ROMs? :fingers-crossed:

Thank you for your work, as always. :laugh:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Jays08:
Look at this bro : https://twitter.com/franciscof_1990/status/1042108556282081280
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] The Doctor04:
Would love to see his kernel for Oreo, this would be killer
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] maksimreder:
I second this, and a kernel for Pie
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] kevoroid:
One quick update/feedback, since I've installed FrancoKernel- r75 on rooted N6 7.1.1, at least once a day it suddenly shuts down with no battery warning flashing on screen when I try to turn it on again, hence when i charge it I can see it still had battery (sometimes 20%, sometimes 40%)! Anybody else facing this issue?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ikramii:
Your battery need to be replaced
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] 4L3xN3t:
I heard that...

I'm going to try a r73 flash just to be sure it's not related to r75 kernel.

My videos come in slow motion with every app I use to take them.

stay tuned

---------- Post added at 02:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 PM ----------

30minutes with r73 kernel, videos are now ok. I'll wait some more days of use to avoid false positive
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] 4L3xN3t:
and so...videos are now ok...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Eye-Lid:
I have been following this thread for a long while now , and keep checking it almost daily. This kernel made a great device worth it again, and really cannot wait for the Oreo version to come out. Any updates on that matter?

Thank you for your good work!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] EddieK23:
I found this kernel through some random XDA suggestion in the app, and within minutes my N6 has been doing wonderfully! I've been running the latest PureNexus for the N6 (7.1.2) and the boot times and speed have been so much better. I've been trying to hold off on upgrading my phone to save money, but with this kernel I can hold off on that for quite some time.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] 4L3xN3t:
After 3 weeks, no more video issues and I have to say another thing. With r75 I had many random reboots, till last month I thought it was the battery weak (even if with some months of life) or a faulty phone, but with r73 the reboots have gone...

something went wrong with that release maybe
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Better late than never, just pushed r76 for Oreo and Pie roms. Also pushed r76 for stock Nougat with some fixes. Auto-flash it with my app here: http://get.franciscofranco.xyz or just get the zip from the OP

Enjoy :)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] cujo6801:

The long await legendary kernel are back
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Eye-Lid:
Thank you!

Works on LineageOS 15.1

Tho one issue I have found since switching to LineageOs, no matter the kernel , the settings for vibration intensity resets to default after just one use of the vibration motor.

I have tried all I can with my limited knowledge but to no avail. (Mounting rw , editing permissions for vtg_level and vtg_default in a root browser, etc...)

If anyone can suggest a fix please do let me know.

And again thank you for your good work.

Finally able to use my favourite kernel on my Shamu!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Jays08:
Thanks Boss !
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Probably some **** in their code. I'll take a look.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Phrodini:
Thanks for the update. I was just looking for a kernel too
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Dungeon47:
Kernel is running great on AICP 13.1. No UI lag, and getting 0.72% an hour drain on idle on default settings. That's half of what I got on stock or Popcorn. As always, outstanding work.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Now buy all my apps as a thank you to please your master!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jacomail95:
Now there's no way I use another kernel until eventually Android Q comes out for Shamu, lol :D Thanks [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION], loved your kernels in Mako and Hammerhead, thanks for your work even on Shamu

got back to franco kernel after a while. one problem. saturation doesn't get saved and goes back to 255 no matter what.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] magnamentis:
this device suffered a kernel problem for more than a year and the difference having a really good kernel, not one that just works, is obvious from the first second of use.

this was a really nice surprise and finally my N6 (now on PIE) behaves like it once did, ( with a new battery as well LOL)

since i prefer 16:9 ratio over 18:9 i'll keep this device as long as i can, i have various 18:9 with larger displays but less usable space, they have 5.5" width sporting a 6.x" display. i still hope that some OEMs are aware of the large base that prefers 16:9 and give us a choice not too far in the future.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Jays08:
Same here, i'm on stock Android.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Dillionaire:
Guess who's back, back again. Franco's back, tell a friend. Thank you sir for bringing this beast back.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Using my app?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] maksimreder:
Been running this kernel since the release and it's been tough on the battery, ran it through a few charge cycles and it's been tough, barely lasted me a day, about 7hrs is what I got and needs a recharge, need to recharge twice in aday to get by, where as before I'm used to 1 charge entire day.

Phone battery is taking a hit, phone is warm. Don't matter whether on Oreo or Pie, I tried tweaking the kernel but settings we're locked, and reverted back after change. I ended up installing popcorn kernel and now battery is back to where i get, 16 hrs is typical on a single charge. Phone is cold to the touch.

In KA I see the cores are all on for this kernel, at 1267mhz and don't drop off, no hot plugging is enabled (and can't be enabled) I'm sure this is all part of design, maybe I'm doing something wrong. In 20 mins I lost 10% of battery, where in comparison I'm used to 50 mins per 10% on popcorn kernel with Mako hotplug enabled.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
1267mhz as min frequency? That's certainly not part of the design so something's wonky. I'll check if I misconfigured something tomorrow morning.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] maksimreder:
Thank you, I have flashed the kernel again to try and grab some screen shots and now I can't replicate the findings.

Phone still is warm to the touch, but battery is holding up. We'll see how tomorrow goes with a full day of work.

Screen shot below is after kernel re flash on bliss pie ROM.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I'll check today.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] maksimreder:
Please forget what I posted a few posts back. Battery has been phenomenal today.

Not sure why flashing Franco kernel first (which resulted in high battery drain), then flashed popcorn kernel (to try and resolve), then flashed Franco again ( to provide some screenshots of the rapid battery discharge) and ever since the 3rd flash, it's been a solid kernel. Far superior than any other. Battery has been extraordinary. Screenshot to prove.

Not much time of SOT, I've been using my Bluetooth headset all day.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] MajicDroidPirate:
Gotta say im using it on Carbon ROM just flashed yesterday but so far loving it, I was getting random lag before and the only fix was to clear my Ram all the time, or use an app to automatically do it which I did but then it drained my battery super fast. Since I flashed your kernel last night I've had no lag and the battery life has been way better! Thanks Franco!!!!
