Awesome job as usual Franco. Its been years since I've ran any of your kernels and just like the past I am blown away by your work.

Quick question to everyone. Viper4Android will not for the life of me work with this kernel, anyone else? I get everything install I check the driver status everything is on or normal but the Processing part. Pandora, music apps, etc...

Thanks!

Sam

Download this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrbimc.selinux and set it to permissive. It should work then...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dgart08:
did a quick search in this thread but couldn't find any info..

Wondering if this kernel plays well with V4A. Is it permissive? If not, will selinux do the trick?

Thanks!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] zephiK:
See the post above yours.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] npjohnson:
If I am not mistaken, the setenforce command (what that app uses) did not work after 4.4.2. That may have just been on Samsung Devices (where I learned it from).
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BRKotucs:
It works just fine.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] zephiK:
It works.

Phone was awake for 1.5hrs due to sensor_ind. Could. Have managed even more.!!

My best so far
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] G1Master:
Ah I forgot to mention I've done that already. Its OK, I'm sure its something I messed up along the way of constant crack flashing!

Thanks anyways!

Again awesome kernel! No issues what's so ever! [emoji106] [emoji106] [emoji106]
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] PDP///M:
Hey Franco, just emailed you a reboot log. Not sure if kernel related. I was taking a picture and received a sms at the same time, then reboot. Let me know what you see.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ZeusIII:
I'd kill for that signal. I can only manage yellow to orange where I am. Impressive SOT as well :thumbup:

Also for those who haven't noticed yet, vibrate setting has to be changed each time you reboot.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] cobyman7035:
for nice 6500k colors i use 248-236-255 , makes the white really white, compared to another setting of 237-235-255 which is more iphone cool colors
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] The Doctor04:
You need to unlock your bootloader, and flash a custom recovery. Neither of which do not require root. Crack bootloader with a tool kit or adb commands. Push TWRP 3.1.0 to your device again with a kit or adb commands. Back up your device, flash new kernel and profit! Just make sure in Developer Settings you flip the switch for unlocking bootloader and USB debugging are on. There are a ton of guides and tools to help as well
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Ok I think you're slightly confused. To flash from Android you need root, obviously. But you don't need root to flash the Kernel directly on the recovery.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Ph0z3:
Yeeahhh... Haven't messed with root or anything since my note 2, so it's been a while.

Trying to figure out how to do the custom recovery & everything else.

The unified toolkit doesn't have the latest (may) build available, so I'm looking for other options.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Amos91:
Should be able to get the unified toolkit to unlock your device / install TWRP recovery.

Then just use that to flash the Franco kernel from zip (download link in OP).
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Ph0z3:
Got TWRP installed & your kernel installed with everything working...

Will your paid app with the controls still work, even though I'm not rooted?

Like all the CPU controls, etc...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jbaumert:
From the Play Store page:

"Also you need to be ROOTED otherwise nothing will really work."
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Ph0z3:
Ah... My bad.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] turbo23:
Uh Oh...

I mean how hard is this, I read about this Kernel and it looked like what I need. I flashed my rooted N6 with the May update this week, good to go. I did same with wife's N6. Easy.

So I just

I flashed the file with the app....and it completed and now Google boot animation for about 30 minutes now.

That's what I get...for trying.

It booted and asked for the pin to start up, no problem and now this...

Any ideas?

I went with Google Fi yesterday so I can't even use my backup Sammy phone.

I shoulda known.

Maybe its the file and not what this guy did...It wrecked my fresh install.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ShapesBlue:
Did you wipe dalvik cache afterwards? That may be the culprit

Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] turbo23:
Sure and I did, after that. It soft bricked. BEWARE.

It sucks, I wish I wouldn't have bought that Manager app, I'm never going to use it again. Thanks.

Update, I got a refund for the app. I had to wipe my phone and start over.

This can happen to you.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ShapesBlue:
Franco kernel manager app works well. I can't say I've never had problems with flashing kernels because I have but I don't think in this case the app was the issue

Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] turbo23:
The app is probably fine. Something glitched and I am back at square one.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ShapesBlue:
I've been there before. It's definitely frustrating, hope you can get it working

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] rignfool:
Believe it or not...

I managed to get out of a bootloop with FKU by just jumping to bootloader... Then restarting the phone...

It's strange that Franco would cause bootloops... His kernels don't stray too far from stock...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Hmm... flashing the Kernel through my app has the same failure risk as a normal Android System update. I'm sorry you had such experience. I use it everyday and thousands of users do so everyday without any issue. Simply flashing back to stock boot.img (that's available through the factory images) would be enough to get you back on track.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] turbo23:
Not your fault!

I appreciate the quick response....trying to decipher what went wrong.

The only thing I did, and this is probably not it, is I dirty flashed the May update with NRT. The file passed the test, same for wifes N6.

The only pia is losing my texts. I back them up to google drive but not every day.

Since phone is shiny and new now...Im going to try your app again.

Wish me luck. No fear. Throttling up to 100%
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] The Doctor04:
Anyone else having trouble getting the May Franco working with the May Pure Nexus. Got it flashed, rebooted and I lost mobile data. Rebooted....boot loop. Wiped cache...boot loop. Restarted....boot looped. I'm still trying but very, very odd. It was working with the April release but now it's boot looping on the may update. grrr
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] turbo23:
Similar to my fail

I had similar occurrence.

But after doing completely fresh May update 7.1.1.

And trying the app again, backing it up this time!

It flashed and rebooted, PROFIT.

AWESOME.

Thanks ?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] JRJ442:
Worked fine for me. Dirty flashed May's Pure update from April. Running it and r67 now. Bad download maybe?

Edit: I didn't use the app to flash it. I always just download the zip and flash out of habit.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] The Doctor04:
I did the same, and it's the same download I flashed on the April PN. App hasn't worked for me to do an update in months, so I manually flash now as a rule. Thinking of doing a fresh install

*Update* Now it's working and data is restored. Odd, but I'll take the win
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] garywojdan81:
Just throwing this out there for anyone having an issue updating through the app, are you using a multiform version of TWRP?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] turbo23:
Not sure

I'm not sure what Multiform version is.

This Kernel has broken my Trusted Contacts app. It worked before. uninstalled and reinstalled it and maps

When I click on my wifes shared location, it opens Maps and shows Me sitting at home.

I have been in chat with Google support for an hour over this.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] garywojdan81:
Sorry, *multirom*. Autocorrect strikes again. What version of twrp are you using?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] turbo23:
Stop the Presses!

I used the app to flash..but it soft bricked my phone AGAIN.

I restarted it annnnd...it Stayed black screen. Power button hold...still black screen. After two minutes it reboots to stuck on animations.

This is like the old days where everything was a roll of the dice.

I rebooted to see if it would help and now stuck on animations again.

There is something wrong with this version of Kernel and the May 7.1.1 rom.

I used the downloader on two different days.

My phone has been incredible the year I have owned it. AVOID this update.

Unless you have a few phones laying around.

I'm going to shut up and walk away.

I work in IT and...nevermind.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] JRJ442:
I think stock is really best for you. There's nothing wrong with the kernel. I've been running it fine all day with no issues. So it appears as though the problem isn't the kernel but... nevermind. Lol
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] turbo23:
Something is wrong here

So it appears as though the problem isn't the kernel but... nevermind. Lol

LOL
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] garywojdan81:
I could be wrong, but doesn't the app use your recovery to flash the kernel? What recovery do you have installed?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] turbo23:
Phone has TWRP recovery. I did not see it go into TWRP.

Apparently I have the one off phone that can't run this kernel.

Cleared cache, hell I did a complete wipe and nada.

I don't have time to keep going through that, Sad.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BigDig:
Start with stock kernel, don't root. Install Franco kernel, boot your phone first. If it boots, then go back and root from recovery.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ktmom:
Just double checking, you do have the newest TWRP (3.1.0.0)?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BigDig:
The app doesn't use recovery
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] turbo23:
Thats what I thought.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Well, I'm sorry. I have absolutely no clue at all. I just auto-flashed a couple times on my N6 and it was perfect. :'(
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Akhilesh S V:
Did you reflash Super SU ?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] heydabop:
Anyone on r67 able to pass SafetyNet? I pass basic but not CTS match.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] heydabop:
Ahh, alright thanks! Just wanted to make sure that was still working before putting more time into figuring out what I've done wrong...

EDIT: Alright well whatever it was I was able to fix it with your kernel plus Magisk Hide (previously unrooted). Ironic how SafetyNet is the sole reason my phone is now rooted.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] turbo23:
So do you mean that;

Phone is rooted, then flash the kernel= stuck at animations.

Then (having SU already in phone storage) Flash SU in TWRP?

When I am in TWRP it always said "storage not available" or "internal storage not available"

That is what my N6 shows when I attempt do do a backup. That may be due to encryption.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Ph0z3:
Soo.. After a few days use, I notice little to no difference with this... Maybe needs root for better experience?

Nx6 (stock)

7.1.1 - N6F27C

Current Franco Kernel
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mestradab:
Hello Turbo23, did you manage to get this issue sorted out?. I´m facing the same problem. Basically I have noticed that if my phone is already rooted (SuperSU and TWRP already installed with root features properly working) and I flash Franco kernel (r65, r66 and 67 show the same issue) then the phone gets stuck in the animations. To solve this I need to re-flash the stock kernel which somehow removes root from my phone and then I can flash Franco kernel again (r65, r66 or r67) then everything works but without root. If I root my phone again then I have the same problem until I re-flash stock kernel which takes me back to the starting point. Basically I need to choose between having Franco kernel or root.

My phone is running on stock firmware N6F27C and this is the first time I root and install a custom kernel to this phone, so, I can´t tell if it has something to do with the firmware. Hopefully somebody can help.

Regards
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] NLBeev:
You did not mention the version of superSu.

My N6 (decrypted) is running N6F27C and SuperSU 2.79-SR3. Franco kernel r67. No issues.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mestradab:
Same as yours, 2.79 SR3. It is the one that the Nexus Toolkit installs. I might be doing something wrong, maybe the order of the steps but I have tried multiple combinations but the result is the same, stuck in boot animations....

Regards
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] NLBeev:
You could try different steps but without a toolkit. You have TWRP recovery and that's timesaving. Copy the su-zip and fk-zip to the phone and flash in TWRP recovery.

When you are already rooted, you could try flashing fkernel zip in TWRP recovery.

But be sure you have twrp version 3.1.0.0
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] turbo23:
I'm glad finally somebody else has reported issues besides me. There was another guy on here with the same issue awhile back. I would flash stock rom then root, then kernel flash and same thing as you. I'm on the same firmware too.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mestradab:
I´m afraid i just tried what you suggested with the exact same results, stuck in boot animation after installing the kernel while being root. Thanks anyway.

Regards
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] NLBeev:
Maybe the bootloops are caused by something else.

With certain monthly updates of stock I've had bootloops. Wiping the data partition was needed. So no dirty flashing.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mestradab:
Well, it only happens if I install the kernel while being root. I Can have root with the stock kernel or have the custom kernel without root but not both at the same time.

I actually wiped the data partition at the begining of the process in order to unlock the bootloader and had these trouble after restoring all data. So far I'm staying with the custom kernel and no root (my goal is to improve the phone performance and battery duration) as I'm not in the mood to wipe all data again and restore it without being certain that this will solve my issue. Thanks for your help anyway, much appreciated.

Regards
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] The Doctor04:
Try this...flash rom, root, boot, reboot to recovery, wipe cache/dalvik, and flash kernel.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] bluetigger68:
Well, it's the same with me on may patch level, got it working with Pure Nexus on April patch level. But my way from back then isn't working anymore.

Not too sure what to tell you. Franco himself said it will work for 7.1.2 and I just showed you a screen shot that it's running on 7.1.2. No one said you didn't know what you are doing, app is wrong
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ShapesBlue:
When I still had my N6 I also had this same issue. I'm unfortunately used to it. It sucks but its the way it is

https://dl.twrp.me/shamu/twrp-3.1.1-0-shamu.img
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] DonQuixote77:
[MENTION=4635005]ShapesBlue[/MENTION] you cannot compare the two devices, they're completely different.

In the case of the Shamu, as you know, Google didn't update it officially to 7.1.2, which means that it's still running on 7.1.1 blobs, which is why FK works both on official/stock 7.1.1 factory image as well as 7.1.2 custom ROMs.

Can't speak for the OP3/T as I don't have the device and I don't know what firmware it's running on or what else compatibility might be dependent on.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] genti.b:
I have used this kernel on both PureNexus and LineageOS and to me, it is better implemented on LOS. The Naptime app works perfectly and standby time is through the roof. Very satisfied with it.

Thanks Franco
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ShapesBlue:
I had the same issue when I had my Shamu. It always told me that there was no version available even when I was on stock. I know my devices pretty well and have been around the forums for quite awhile now. And FK never worked on stock or custom roms for the N6 for me
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] impalerware:
Anyone else getting bootloops running lineage OS? If I flash the kernel, I get bootloops 9/10 restarts. Eventually it does start thought after numerous attempts.

Usually flash lineage -> magisk -> kernel -> clear cache. But finally figured out the kernel was the cause. Even tried doing just lineage -> magisk. Booting up then restarting and doing the kernel and same.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jayadev01:
Dont flash the kernel after magisk. That will result in a bootloop. Flash the rom... then the kernel... and finally flash magisk. This should solve you issue.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BenClay13:
On the FK Manager app. After i updated to today's OTA, the June 5th patch, it won't ever fully load the update page. It just spins
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] cfhsncb:
I'm having the same issue. Stuck at the boot animation, and I ended up in the exact same situation as you with the kernel installed, but no root. Has ANYONE figured this out yet?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jayadev01:
Flash the rom 1st, and then the Kernel and Finally flash root.

After flashing root, don't wipe the cache or dalvik. Just reboot into system. Don't flash the kernel after flashing root as it will result in a bootloop which you might be facing now.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] carlo1024:
I'll be updating to 7.1.1 June update, will the R67 work with it? Thanks in advance =)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] cfhsncb:
Here's where I'm at: I'm able to flash Franco with no issues while unrooted. However if I try to root before or after flashing Franco I get stuck at the boot animation. It also gets stuck if I try to flash Magisk after flashing Franco. I tried the reverse as well. I flashed Magisk first, and everything worked at it should (passed safety net while maintaining root with an unlocked bootloader) However flashing Franco afterwards get me stuck at the boot animation again. Any ideas?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] pkgnex:
This will sound dumb - and I'm sure people will tell me one of the steps is unnecessary, but it's worked for me:

All from within recovery...

1. Flash stock boot.img

2. Flash Magisk

3. Flash Franco kernel

4. Flash Magisk (again)

5. Reboot

No wiping of caches/dalvik at any time.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] cfhsncb:
Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately it didn't work for me. This is really frustrating because I can get Magisk to work on it's own, and I can get Franco kernel to work on it's own (without root though) but I cannot get them to work together. No matter what installation order I try, I always get stuck at the boot animation. Anyone else have any ideas?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Ph0z3:
Go back to what works & wait for OP to update.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jayadev01:
Do you have this option enabled, "require pin/password to start the device after reboot"

Disable this option and try flashing again if this may be your issue. If not, then let's think again to solve this.

I'll be updating to 7.1.1 June update, will it be compatible with R67? Thanks in advance =)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] giannis_mathiou:
Just try it and see if it works for you. Don't ask something that is answered in the mostly two previous pages.

FYI: I'm on June's security patch with r67.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] cfhsncb:
That did it! Thank you so much for this suggestion. I have both Franco and Magisk flashed and working now!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Ph0z3:
No it does not.

Read back a few pages. People are having issues.

Stick with what works right now, then wait for OP to update​.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] pkgnex:
Actually, yes it does. I'm running this combination right now, issue free. You just won't have the latest kernel-side security patches.

User issues regarding bootloops and/or losing root are something else that has been ongoing for a while - not related to running r67 on the June patch of stock 7.1.1. It appears the start-up PIN option may be one culprit for some users..
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Bliepo:
I had the bootloop mentioned here with the June patch of stock 7.1.1, so I flashed back stock boot (and recovery). I disabled the start-up PIN option, flashed franco kernel and root and it did indeed boot just fine. I re-enabled start-up PIN and.... bootloop again. Having a start-up PIN vs using franco's kernel..... hmmmmm. Choices were made, security sacrificed.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] abaddon37:
Ok this may sound crazy, but the above quote is on to something. I've had the issue of being stuck on boot animation. Yet, it seems that on start-up PIN, if I enter my password immediately when the option comes up I get stuck on boot animation. If I wait for a prolonged period of time, then enter my PIN, I am able to boot.

I haven't done extensive testing, so it's just a theory. Maybe a race condition?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Merazomo:
I've mostly used my Nexus 6 indoors, that's why I never noticed how dim the screen was under direct sunlight. I use the FrancoKernel and purchased the Franco Kernel Manager Updater because of the energy balance and efficiency of the Kernel. The Automatic High Brightness Mode is also great, but how do most of you get over that dim screen? Is there something else that can be done?

My lifestyle has charged a bit, requiring me to spend more time outside on sunny days sometimes; therefore, I've noticed how dim the screen is, even with the High Brightness Mode. Is the screen truly that dim in your experience, or is my phone perhaps damaged? Indoors the screen is beautiful though.
