thats nice to know, to bad i didnt make a backup of the original kernel. oh well.

another question. I selected the power saving mode, restarted the phone, and it wasnt highlighted anymore. Do i have to select one of the modes every time i reboot? Which mode is automatically selected after each reboot?

r40 causes massive screen tearing on my Nexus 6

I was running latest PureNexus rom (No Xposed) when I updated to FKr40 and noticed some screen tearing going on, so I decided to flash all new on my Nexus 6 since I wanted to get Android Pay to work. I wiped and flashed cataclysm, FKr40, and SuperSU 2.61 but I still had massive screen tearing and could barely navigate menus or set up the phone (Android Pay worked so far, tho). I just wiped and flashed Cataclysm again, but flashed FKr39 instead and there hasn't been any screen tearing. I know this is the Q&A section, but I wasn't sure where else I could post this and bring to everyone's attention since I can't post in the Dev section.

Hi Franco is it possible to add a high brightness mode toggle to quick settings panel or is that something the ROM developers would have to do?

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eddiemc:
Quick question.

I heard some rumors that Franco's kernel now works fine with cyanogenmod (cm13). If so does cm specific features like livedisplay work? Anybody running this combo (f42 and cm13) that can chime in?

Can anyone explain to me what Franco kernel's "backlight dim" setting does on the Nexus 6?

(I've switched it both ways and cant' detect what changes)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eddiemc:
I've tried the kernel both on stock and on CM13, using default values.

It gives amazing battery life, but I do get occasional random reboots, and a tiny bit of lag when scrolling in some apps (opera, tinfoil and Tapatalk)

I've also had a strava session with active gps crash on me.

There's some setting or value that's different than stock (or cm) that causes this. Does anybody have a short tutorial to find out what's the cause (extract log, etc) and a good way to adjust it (kernel control app).

This kernel gives me so much better battery that it's almost worth the slight instability that I'm experiencing, but I'd still like to fix it.

Perhaps it's due to a voltage reduction somewhere? Any typical values that can cause instability when lowered on certain nexus 6 models?

I received my device yesterday and drained it down to 2% after setting it up then charged it all the way up to 100%.

I am running stock with DT2W and notification LED light enabled along with r2 and the device is decrypted. All settings are default.

For some reason the 3rd and 4th cores are always stuck at max frequency. I tried setting the lowest freq to 300 using fku as well as trickstermod .

No luck yet.

And one thing more the display rgb settings dont stick after reboot.

If I select power saving mode then only the 3rd and 4th cores go offline.

For some reason my battery getting drained very fast idk why .

Kernel Bug

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Uninstall any kernel apps that you may have, its probably conflicting with the kernel. Use System Monitor and see if it deactivates the core. Also, update to r3... recently came out ;)

The kernel has nothing to do with notifications and your interactions with them. What you're describing is a ROM issue.

question about cpu3+4

hi,

i installed the kernel (stock settings, dt2w, light flow, customized rgb colors) and the system monitor says that cores 1+2 are at 300mhz while 3+4 are always at 1.7ghz - is that normal?

thanks
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H.Ahmadi:
I had the exact same thing going on the balanced profile. The 3rd and 4th cores would stick at 2.6Ghz no matter what I do and do not change

I just updated to r3 and they are offline now. So I can say this is fixed!

Another thing I noticed the wifi would stay on even when I turn it off. Yes it is off but it drains the battery and under the battery it is on all the time. Thankfully Franco has addressed this bug as well in r3

I'm on stock rom, Adaptive brightness is off, Ambient display is on. My display brightness is kept at 20-30% most of the time.

The drain happens only for me when the screen is on. Standby is really excellent with this kernel. I lose 15%-20% per hour when the screen is on, no matter what I do, using chrome, or any app or even if just looking at my contacts or messages. crazy drain even when the phone is doing nothing.

Yesterday I had 3h 45min SOT and the phone from 100% battery to 2% lasted 22 hours. If my screen drain would go less I would benefit from the excellent standby. my Screen under battery showed around 27% and the next item was around 5%.

Now with r3 the main 2 problems have been addressed so hopefully battery performance would see much more improvement.

---------- Post added at 04:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 PM ----------

update to r3. Because I can see my 3+4 cores are offline now.

mac address

does nexus 6 support changing the WiFi mac address from writing the string 12 digit string to a file at '/presist/wifi/.macaddr' ? It worked on nexus 5 with your kernel. It doesn't seem to work with stock or this kernel on nexus 6. I think it must be a kernel feature. I guess I could look at the source but I doubt that path is hard-coded anywhere.

If anyone wants to try this make sure to set file permissions and owner right since you have to create the .macaddr file. wifi:wifi should work for owner and group

First of all, great job Franco! I've owned the Nexus 5 and 6 and for both of those phones, I've always used Franco Kernel. Infact, when I decided to give it a try with the free app, I got into it so much that I bought the full version a few hours later because it's simple and easy to use. But now that I'm running it on the N6, I have a few questions. Does the fast charging feature allow the phone to charge faster with the turbo charge, the turbo charger is already pretty fast. And second, is it just me, or is the double tap to wake feature a bit unresponsive? Sometimes I have to double tap my phone 2-4 times to wake it.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phishfi:
Fast charging doesn't affect turbo charging. All fast charging does is tell the phone that it's plugged into a wall charger instead of the computer, and allows the computer to push a higher amperage across the data cable to your phone.

When you plug a thumb drive into your computer it provides the thumb drive (or any other USB device) ~5V at 0.5A. 0.5A is nowhere near enough to charge a phone, so fast charge tells the computer that the phone isn't a data device, and the computer pushed (I believe) a full Amp instead of half an Amp.

Turbo charging is something else entirely.

All you really need to do is flash the kernel. Francos default settings should give you more than enough juice... If you feel the need for more tweaking, start with VomerTweaks.

All I have done is lower the max cpu freq in the app to 1958MHz and take my screen brightness down to about 35-40% (with adaptive brightness on). I'm not much of a tweaker, and I trust Franco's settings. I have horrible service at work so, occasional Reddit use, texting, and browser use at work plus fairly heavy browser use and what not at home on WiFi I can easily get close to 5hrs of screen on time. r9 is the best release from Franco yet, at least on my phone.

Quick question. So I'm using your kernel and I am unable to disable the charging led.

I've gone into the FKUpdater and tried repeatedly disable it by checking or on unchecking the box but nothing seems to work. I've tried to reboot my phone after making the selected change. I'm pretty sure this started in r8, it continues in r9.

Thoughts?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Like you said, using the app should disable the LED light. It works, not sure why yours doesn't.

You don't uncheck the box, you press on it to be "Disabled" .. checking the box simply makes it Set on Boot.

You don't have to reboot your phone for the change to take effect.

Yes I realize you don't physically check the box. So I just set it like this, just now. The light is still coming on, even if I do restart the phone.

I just realized the double tap to wake doesn't work either, regardless of whether or not the box is checked or unchecked and it says enable or disable.
