Glad this helps you :) I still love this phone even though the bandwidth required for the 1440p display is not wide enough, I still like it. KRACK is userspace!

The beta app doesn't have the notify thing working (see the "Known issues" part). It'll be fixed asap.

You don't need any special rom, just flash FK and it won't force encrypt you. Still unencrypting is so unecessary, you won't notice anything meaningful in performance. Still, you're free to do it :)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] bamboohao:
Can you talk a bit more about the bandwidth issue? I've always noticed the animations on this phone is not consistently smooth, partly I blame the age of the phone and partly Android. Does this bandwidth issue that you mentioned has anything to do with it? I'm actually very curious to know the actual cause of this.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] stivakos:
Mission accomplished! Lineage OS in installed and phone is decrypted.

Thank you all for your valuable help.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I'm slightly guessing that's the issue, that's what it looked like to me since day 1, specially since if you reduce the resolution it runs flawlessly. Though I can be wrong.

Awesome!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] MSF Jarvis:
There are kernel side changes too but the driver in question isn't utilised under Android so there's nothing to patch on the kernel end for Android at least. LineageOS did apply the patches on their Marlin kernel for whatever reason.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Dungeon47:
How would one reduce the resolution? I'd like to try that out if it's easily done.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I added that feature to the Power-saving performance profile on my app's beta, but if you want to try it yourself through adb it's for example "adb wm size 1080x1920". To reset just run "adb wm size reset".
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] bamboohao:
To add on to that, the animations does indeed felt smoother after changing it to full HD. It is still way far off from the smooth, consistent 60fps but it is better. Had a bit of lag at first but after a reboot and some time later it settled down.

One small thing that bugs me is that on the recent app switcher the app previews are enlarged and not centered (it's left aligned). I'm on stock ROM and I'd like to know what are the experience of those running custom ROMs about this issue.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] sandman96:
What should the density be set to for 1080x1920? 390?

Is the 3.0b app version not updated in the Google Play store? I'm showing version 2.2.16 on the Play Store. I'm afraid to auto-flash r74 until I know what's up with that. Thanks!

I had to remove links from the quote because I am a new user :/
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Dungeon47:
Are you in the beta program?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jtspree:
No is that through Google Play or the updater?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Dungeon47:
Google Play if I remember correctly. Been on beta for a long time, and I think they changed how you get in.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] imarq24:
Tried installing and went straight back to recovery...didn't boot at all

Yes I found the beta feature in Google Play. If you just scroll to the bottom of the app's page, it's in giant letters. I have successfully updated. Thank you for your help.

Hey Franco, did you have any luck with killing the smb135x wakelock without sideeffects? Just asking since the wakelock is currently kind of annoying for me ;)

[MENTION=470754]Franco[/MENTION], can you check what is going on when the device doesn't have any internet connection? FKU starts acting weird, flashing the top and bottom bars and it won't stop untill you kill it....
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Ph0z3:
Updated to the latest update about a day ago..

(Coming from 2 updates ago)

Everything is very snappy & responsive.

Not sure what changed, but I really love it.

** Edit

Text boxes in chrome are slow & my camera (stock) is super laggy.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Hey gang! r75 is out with some cool patches + Wireguard! There's a special patch in there which fixes a random Kernel panic I used to have when connected to WiFi, and it was driving me crazy. Turns out it wasn't my fault :D

Don't auto flash if you're not in the beta version of my app -> http://get.franciscofranco.xyz

On the beta version?

Camera preview jank has been fixed on r75. Can't reproduce any issue with Chrome.

So does this work on a 8.0 or 8.1 ROM? Thanks for keeping our Shamus going!!!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
Really appreciate you keeping this kernel up to date for the Nexus 6. I know it's no small task with all the devices you are developing for. Really thank you.

:good:

Needs a different tree for Oreo roms. Will be working on that soon!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] rakesh.aggarwal:
Does this app have an option to check the SOT on battery.

Still have horrid camera stutter/lag.

Tried dumping caches & such, no luck... Still lags. :(

Also, thank you for all your continued hard work on keeping this kernel updated.

How can i tweak Franco Kernel to enable 4g LTE band network??

on Nexus 6 (Pure Nexus 7.1.2) :confused:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
No, Android already shows that info.

Wtf, I can't reproduce. Stock camera app? HDR+ is pretty slow shutter anyway, always been.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
You can't, that's not a Kernel "thing"....
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
Force stop the camera app and clear camera app data, not just cache. Google camera is fine on my end, I use auto HDR+.

Also make sure the camera app is not battery optimized.

---------- Post added at 09:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 AM ----------

How does this kernel handle the monthly security patches? I ask because Google isn't releasing security patches for the Nexus 6 anymore.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Iambenqazy:
oh ok. Thank you. Please do you have any idea how i can do that??
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Ph0z3:
Didn't know it needed to be not-optimized.

So I put my phone into airplane mode, un-optimized it, force stopped it, wiped the cache & data, then rebooted.

Initially, it seems to have fixed the issue.

-- will report back if anything changes.

Also, thank you for your help.

---------- Post added at 12:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 PM ----------

User above helped...

Didn't know it needed to be not-optimized.

Will report back if anything changes.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
Why did you put the phone in airplane mode?

To unoptimize all that was required was settings-battery-3 dots-battery optimization-change to all apps-scroll down to google cam-click on it-choose do not optimize.

To wipe data all that was required was settings-apps-scroll down to google cam-click on it-force stop-click on storage-click clear data.

I think wiping data for the camera app helped more than unoptimizing it. Unoptimizing mainly helps with launch speed, I think.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Ph0z3:
Out of OCD / Anxiety... I like to be absolutely sure if things.

If I start clean, and still have issues, then I know what to do.

I know, it seems spastic & not needed, but it's a method I have & it works for me. Also, camera runs fine now. :cool:

No Ambient Display when lifting Device?!

Hi,

I have a question. I just got a Nexus 6 (I know it's old, needed to wait for hand down...). I rooted, installed Franco Kernel through the App and am very happy. The only thing that doesn't seem to work anymore is the feature where I can lift the device and it shows the ambient display. Is this deactivated by the kernel?

The only things I applied is CPU and GPU power reduction in "Battery Labs" and a different colour profile. The setting is still "on" in "Settings -> Move" and it works after a reboot until I open the FK Manager App and reactive the CPU/GPU throttle.

I do not want double tap to wake. I found that option and it works. I simply would like to see the black and white display to see if I received a notification or not when I pick up my Device.

Thanks for the help!

Malte
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I don't touch Ambient Display anywhere, that's at the rom side!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mal_de:
Thanks for getting back to me that quick! I'm on stock so maybe something else is causing it. I noticed a slight improvement when I don't underclock the CPU. After going back to 100% it works 3 out of 4 times like before so maybe I'm just too impatient and have to give the CPU time to kick in.

I'll try some other settings. Thanks again for doing all the work and the great app!

Pushed 3.0b4 of Kernel Manager for Franco Kernel. To enroll on the beta go here -> https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.franco.kernel

3.0b4:

Added sunset/sunrise NightShift feature;

Added a new "Supporter 2018" in-app purchase. Old donations are gone for good, and this replaces it. It'll award 4 unique wallpapers crafted by Liam and it'll give you a special banner. I'll explain more about this when the app goes to production, but it's basically a way for you show support for the almost 6 years of continued support and updates;

Fixed a bug that was preventing settings to be restored on reboot;

Fixed lots of bugs with NightShift;

Fixed Auto-flash for some devices (OP3/3T, OP5, for example);

Fixed CPU temp notification;

Having major issues with out. Charged to full and went to bed. By morning was at 11% with no use. See screenshots
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Bluetooth wakelock, nothing I can do about it, exists on all kernels.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] adm1jtg:
But why do I only have this issue with your kernel and not others? Aicp 12.1 with stock kernel or elemental x I don't have these issues
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Lagarde:
Definitely having issues with r75, too. Nothing standing out in the logs and had to go back to stock for daily driver. Will roll back to r75 as time allows to see if I can get a good kernel dump/dmesg.

Vague issues:

- Power drain is huuuuuge. 8hrs total life on r75 (after 2 days of settling in, which usually fixes drain issues). Stock gets me about 20hrs.

- Hot. Scorching my thigh through my pants. Probably related to above power drain. Removed all apps, rebooted, etc...still draining/burning. Reinstalled all apps.

- Random reboots. Got one when disconnecting bluetooth. Got one when skipping to next song in Pandora.

Plus side...

- I'm one of the unlucky souls that has his N6 reboot if it gets below 40% battery on stock kernels and you do anything at all taxing. With r75, no reboots <40%. Yay!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] giannis_mathiou:
Maybe you should try clean flash your ROM and kernel.

My device is not getting hot is at 34°C, I have no problem at all when my battery is below 40%

And lastly I'm not getting any huge battery drain as you describe. In 2 hours of uptime my device was in a deep sleep 40 minutes.

Plugged the phone out of charger at 99% battery and after 1hour with SoT about 20minutes I have lost 4%. Android system says I still have 21hours.

That said I hardly believe that this could be caused by r75.

Anyways I will test it tonight while I will be sleeping to check the battery left in the morning and I will come back.

[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION], with FKM v3.0b4 I see a bit of lag while trying to open the CPU Manager section and Kernel Manager sections, sometimes I have to touch the screen to get all the options listed there. Also changelog window looks kind of ungly because It's not visible that is on top of everything, is not dismissible by clicking outside the window and that feels a bit strange at first. Also, the QS tiles for High Brightness Mode and Night Shift doesn't light up as the should - I'm mentioning it because as far as I know you did a whole lot of changes in this version.

I'm running Vanilla 7.1.2 apart from that no other issue. I'm waiting for the brand new wallpapers ;)... Keep up the good!

Edit: During night I lost about 8% in 8 hours of sleep. So I highly suggest to start fresh and see if battery drain persists. Currently after 11 hours unplugged from 99% I have SoT 1hour 35minutes and still 70% battery remaining. I always have data connection on, syncing on. No bluetooth or NFC.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Lagarde:
Always love the "it doesn't happen to me, so it HAS to be your fault" replies. We're on different ROMs, so could be the ROM, could be my phone, could be dumb luck, heck it might be bluetooth since you say you don't use it and I do, etc. I've done clean flash. I've only seen this issue on r75. My previous version (r73) did not have this issue. As mentioned, I'll give it another test when time allows to see if I can repeat it and pull logs.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Cobra11Murderer:
That night time drain is prob due to sync.. and your doin better than mine is but r75 has helped with mine seems like bat is back up to about 4+ sot. Plus I removed some apps yesterday which could of been some of my drain to
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] giannis_mathiou:
[MENTION=7035860]Lagarde[/MENTION], I don't want to "offend" you, I just saying my aspect.

I switched back to stock -unencrypted- yesterday. My device is getting a bit hotter but nothing crazy 37°C to 42°C.

I have bit of "drain" but nothing special, after 11hours unplugged from 96% I'm now at 79%, SoT is about 50minutes.

Yesterday, while playing intensive game (Mobile Legends) in 1hour my battery dropped from 67% to 28%, which I think is normal.

I have a lot of apps installed which syncning in background, I can mention all my apps if that would be helpful.

I also forgot to mention that I changed my battery 3 weeks ago which could be the case, but I don't really think so. I believe more that something went wrong in your "flashing" side, or something went really good on mine. But bluetooth could really be the "guy" to blame.

P.S.: [MENTION=7035860]Lagarde[/MENTION], I hope I don't offend you by any means.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Lagarde:
Nah, it's all good. :)

Really does convince me more and more this may be bluetooth related, since that's the #1 difference between our setups. Hoping this weekend I can do another wipe and setup and see if it does the same thing.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mugendon:
Definitely also having issues with bluetooth wakelocks (like [MENTION=2781850]adm1jtg[/MENTION]) since the update to r75. You are right (@franciscofranco), bluesleep and hs_dma_144 are from bluetooth and they take usually a big part of my wakelocks since I have a smartwatch connected. But currently both wakelocks are 100% of the time active and keep my device from deep sleep. This never happened with r74 (which I just reflashed to verify). Here are also some screens showing the problem:

You don't have to automate with tasker, but you can if you want to. The idea is to use tasker to change profiles without opening the app.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wrongway213:
Littered throughout the thread, search "battery" in this thread and see what pops up. But the main suggestions other than VT are going to be "cripple your phone" as some users say, e.g. turn off syncs, Greenify, etc. Other users use the battery saving profile on FKU, but I don't believe you can apply a performance profile when using VomerTweaks so that's a moot point.. to be honest if you're using Franco Kernel and VomerTweaks Dual Core script is running that should get you through whatever kind of use you need... I personally don't even use Vomer for performance reasons becaue Franco stock settings alone boosts things enough to get my by happily

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wrongway213:
I thought 100 was stock? That's default, I would assume it's not changed unless you change it.. also since the feature is a 'decrease vibration' and not 'adjust vibration' I'd imagine stock would be 100
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] zephiK:
127 is the vibration level that Motorola set on the N6 out of the box. 100 is the maximum and stock for Franco Kernel

+1 to that

Same issue on lineage 14.1 (latest build). The strange thing is that it does it in stock lineage camera app, google camera app and open camera(tried erasing data/cache). But it works just fine inside instagram (stories) :confused::confused::confused:

I have done a clean flash btw

And i have tried setting the performance profile for the camera apps from the kernel app = doesn't work either

edit: whatsapp camera does lag too

Dump camera data/cache

I love my manta and would love to keep it kicking and not drop $850 on a new Pixel 2 XL. I have installed Nitrogen 8.1 and that was crashing and losing bluetooth connection. I tried the ElementalX Kernel, that helped the bluetooth issue but freezes sometimes. Before 8.1 I was on PureNexus 7.1.1 with FrancoKernel and loved the performance and frequent security patches. I'm debating going back to that setup, but I also like the latest Android OS.

If there is anything that you need help with getting the Franco Kernel up to 8.1 I would like to help. I'm not a kernel developer (just a full stack dev/ devops person) but I could test it out. I tried booting Nitrogen 8.1 with Franco Kernel r75 but it didn't get past the GOOGLE logo. It was easy to then flash back to EX Kernel, so there was no loss on my part for trying it. I found your github for this kernel but don't see any branch for Oreo, and I wouldn't even know how to start upgrading the code if I were to fork it. I would probably just play whack-a-mole with the boot error messages. ;)
