[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Atticustrd:
Hey guys I'm on B29P build due to the ROM I use didn't uogarde to the newest builds out. Is it safe to update to the latest kernel? Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mohdfahad47:
Hello there everyone, i just had few questions regarding flashing the kernel. Im running pure nexus rom on my nexsixp, and the kernel that comes with the rom is not doing that good in terms of battery life. So before flashing should i wipe the boot partition and then flash the kernel or just wipe dalvik/cache and wipe it? And what if i want to revert back to the pure nexus's kernel? Can i backup the boot partition and restore it?? Thanks.

Sweep2sleep distance adjustment?

Hi [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION], I wonder if we are able to manual set swpee2sleep distance? The default is a bit too long for me. thx
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Don't need to wipe the boot partition or cache/dalvik. Just flash the kernel over the default Pure Nexus kernel and reboot. If you want to revert, either flash the boot image backup (if you made one before EX) or dirty flash the Pure Nexus zip.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Should be just fine

No, this can't be chagned without rebuilding the kernel. It will wake up too easily if it is shorter.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Phantom_11:
Hi [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION], I assume you mean "sleep too easily" instead of "wake up"? I was asking about sweep2sleep not sweep2wake. Sorry I don't know much about kernel, but I hope you may consider adding that as an option to set in the future if it 's not too much trouble. Thanks still.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mobileman88:
Just overwrite the boot.img and clear cache
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mohdfahad47:
Thanks, i already flashed it and it's an amazing kernel.:good:
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Prattham:
I am on the latest version of both kernel and ex app

And I'm cpu temp it says NA

Any help?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] lakyberry:
Do we get the latest security update with kernel or is it needed to flash latest build?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
You get the security updates in the kernel. You will need to the system I. Ave to get rest of the update.

Android n missing thermal throttling temperature please fix
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] treIII:
Flash the stock boot.IMG using fast boot or flashify etc.. Then if u r going to install another custom kernel u shouldn't have any problems. This is correct procedure for flashing different custom kernels.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
That setting doesn't exist

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] why CPU temp is not showing in the dashboard although its showing in the notification area.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ogeretla:
Mine was working great till the update. Can I flash back to previous version?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Dipayan4u:
Flash boot.img and reflash the older version and you are back with 1.15
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ogeretla:
like the stock boot.img?

even when the app is set to stock it is not dropping to 384 on the big cluster... there must be a problem. is anyone else having this issue?

---------- Post added at 07:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 PM ----------

Nm... I see its the stock one... I would rather not have to do that though... Surely there is a fix
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] KonoeKyon:
Well from your screenshots you don't have the min frequency set to 384, which would be why it's not dropping there.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] aniel300:
Yeah i just trying to find if anybody know how to modified that thermal throttling temp
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ogeretla:
You are not supposed to change those - that is set by the "ghostpepper" profile.... I did not touch those settings before and it was always 384 before upgrading.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ogeretla:
So I did set it manually to 384 but did not set the option to set on boot. However.... It keeps the setting but when it doesn't actually apply it till I go back into the app. But I don't have to change it... Just go to the cpu screen and then it kicks in.... Something is buggy.

I am getting the same thing with a fresh install of pure nexus and the kernel. I used the factory reset option in twrp both times for the fresh flash.

Anyone else seeing this issue? No matter which profile I load the min on the big cluster is stuck on 633
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Set it and forget it. Check back after some time has passed and you will see the big and little clusters will idle at the frequency you set. The big cluster will idle at 633 mhz (or 384 mhz) and ramp up when it needs to. Flar2 has already said that using 384 mhz on the big cluster has a negligible effect on battery life per Qualcomm. After a fresh flash and a reboot, clusters will take a minute or so to behave normal.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mohdfahad47:
Hello there, I'm having issues with the gestures. The double tap to wake and sweep to sleep is not working after I updated to the latest version of pure nexus. I clean installed the ROM/gapps and flashed the kernel(everything on the stock settings). The gestures were working on the previous build of the ROM. Any ideas on what's causing the issue?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Do you have the EX Kernel Manager? For me, the Aroma settings occasionally don't stick and I have to turn on the gestures with the EXKM to get them to work.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mohdfahad47:
Nope i don't have the ex kernel manager:confused:
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Aswin08:
Can someone help me why the WIFI is always on though i have kept the wifi service off.Even i have turned off the wifi scanning for location services.

What else could be the reason?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Az Biker:
I believe it's a known issue where the wifi shows on even if turned off.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Aswin08:
Oh sorry, i didn't know that.

That means this doesn't consume any battery juice?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Az Biker:
I have experienced the same thing in the past, wifi shows on, even when off, but nothing shows wifi awake in better battery stats, so I'm guessing no really active :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hinxnz:
It's a google bug AFAIK, a work around I found to disable scanning is you need to toggle WiFi scanning on then off and then toggle WiFi on and then off. You can check the supplicant state by dialing *#*#INFO#*#* (*#*#3646#*#*) and goto WiFi information - WiFi status. When it's in the state of your screenshot, it will say scanning.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] pyro2677:
I had the same problem and everyone was telling me this was normal or a bug. Mine firstly was Viber in it's settings it defaults to keeping wifi always on, i turned it to follow system default and this stopped the problem, then next time i saw it doing this was onedrive and i couldn't find a setting so i uninstalled one drive and the problem went away. I found the culprates using Gsam Battery monitor.

Ex kernel manager solved it. Thanks a lot.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] pac213:
Settings I select in CPU doesn't stick neither I can't select any values.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
I assume you mean frequencies. Don't touch them.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] pac213:
So I just leave them be without changing?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Yes, there are a lot more factors that control frequencies on this device than before that changing can do more harm than good. If your frequencies are stuck, make sure the apply on boot option is turned off and reboot.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] pac213:
Ok thank you.

Anyone want to share their settings?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Dipayan4u:
Try any built in CPU governor profile.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] pac213:
using the elementalx profile as always.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ultyrunner:
I think you meant governor. The profiles under CPU options are not governors.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] jesssiii:
I'm not sure how to interpret this. Seem OK?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Prattham:
It shows the Stats since you rebooted your device

There are 3 options actually 1.since start which is selected as per your screenshot

2. Since now it will monitor the battery from that time when you will select it

3. Since the time you selected since now

This will show you the stats since the time you selected since now

Something like this
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Viper4713:
-Deleted-
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] jesssiii:
I guess I meant the active and idle drain %
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
These show the average percent per hour usage while the screen is on and while the screen is off.

Your idle drain is a bit higher than mine, but that would be normal if you listen to music or are on LTE a lot.

Your active drain is very, very good.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Az Biker:
I always clear/restart the stats when I get to 100%... It makes the math easier for me[emoji14]

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] pac213:
Same here. I have imprint and PIN. Tried clearing cache and dalvik, still nothing.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sjandroiddeveloper:
Is there any way to set the max and min CPU freq (other than installing the kernel again and using aroma)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Using a kernel control app like flar2's own EX Kernel Manager or Kernel Adiutor.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] bobbarker2:
Getting tons of soft resets that freeze the screen for 20 - 30 seconds and then drop back to boot animation. But it will stay at the boot animation indefinitely so I have to reset the phone. I tried the kernel across multiple roms and I've had the same issue.

Attaching two last_msgs, one from PN and another from Screw'd.

Another strange thing I found is that on a fresh install the governor's will be set to Performance which I've never seen happen before. These are all clean installs with no mods added. PN might of had v4a installed.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sjandroiddeveloper:
Thanks for replying

Well I have already tried both but still the maximum they both let Me select are 1.5 for small cluster and 1.9 for the big ones (these are the ones I selected when first installing the kernel using aroma installer) . there is no option for above these freq in both apps I.e. 1.7 for small and 2 for big

One more question - ex kernel app shows me 15 different CPU temp sets, what do these correspond to ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hinxnz:
CPU max frequencies are set by the cmdline so the only way is to rebuild your boot.img, in other words by flashing the kernel again.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] pac213:
Is it normal for the CPU to at 40 degrees constantly?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Prattham:
It depends upon your environment temp and what you are doing on your phone

The weather here is hot so my cpu is constantly between 42-48 °c

Cheers

---------- Post added at 05:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 PM ----------

I see you run vomertweaks

However I tried to use it but when i change it to dynamic mode and see the freq of cpu in ex app it still shows me the same default values

I have not selected apply on boot in the ex app

Also it works fine with franco kernel though freq changes to 1440 and it shows in ex app

Any ideas?

Also any other tweak do you use?

Cheers
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] bobbarker2:
Is that app vomertweaks getting popular? All it does is apply one of two governor profiles. Ex Kernel Manager has about 10 included and then there's probably a few community made ones here on XDA. Not to mention EXKM actually shows you what its doing and it gives the user granular control over all aspects of the kernel.

Same goes for FKUpdater.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Dipayan4u:
Vomertweaks is good for people who doesn't know how to manually tweak. I also bought it and found it useless against the built in profiles in EXKM. Anyways didn't get refund against the Vomertweaks.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
I think you should consider taking your complaints over to [MENTION=1363323]vomer[/MENTION]'s own thread.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] bobbarker2:
You don't need to know how to tweak with exkm or fkupdater.

---------- Post added at 06:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 PM ----------

You're right, my bad.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] bobbarker2:
On a more relevant note, another last_kmsg on a soft/hard reboot (where I'm using the device, it randomly kicks back to the boot animation, stays there indefinitely forcing me to hard reboot). Had to rename it to .log as .txt files have a 512kb size limit for xda upload.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Az Biker:
EX increased my batt life over the PN baked in kernel. So I was curious if VT would add to that increase.

One day, I might learn (or care to learn) how to tweak cpu/gov... for now, I'll let someone else figure it out. But VT works.

The first full charge after applying 'dynamic mode' added 30 min to my sot (with 4 hrs sot that's 12.5% more sot time clicking one button).

After about 5 full charge cycles I was getting an additional 60-90 min sot ( at 4 hrs sot that's 25%+ more batt life clicking one button).

Really convenient, really effective. Good enough for me :D

...from my NexsixP
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
I was not able to look at your logs, but I know the kernel is 100% stable. Soft reboots are never kernel related.

Reinstall your system.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] bobbarker2:
I'm sure you're a busy person and don't feel like providing support for every person who pops up in your thread, but if you fully read what I wrote they are not soft-reboots. While using the device, the screen will freeze and it will become unresponsive, then after 20-30 seconds it kicks back to the boot animation where it stays indefinitely, forcing me to hard reset. Also I've already said that I did a flash-all of the latest Google firmware and then multiple[/I ]clean installs of two different ROMs (Screw'd and PureNexus) following each ROMs install instructions' precisely and installing no other modifications besides SuperSU and ElementalX.

I like this kernel and have found it to meet my needs the best, so I would like to keep using it - which is why I'm taking the time providing this info to you.

It might not be EX I don't know enough to interpret the logs, but I do know the kernel has been the common factor in the conditions where this problem occurs. I provided you with 3 logs, thinking that the data would be enough for you to squish a bug at best or at worst you could tell me it isn't the kernel. But you basically skipped over reading my posts, said you aren't going to look at the data and it doesn't matter anyway because it isn't the kernel, then recommend I take a course of action in which I just stated I've done multiple times.. that's just a disrespectful way to treat another person, internet forum or not.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Ensifolk:
Hey folks. Quick question, msm thermal and core control shall be enabled ? Any explanation is welcome :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Syk69:
I've used both roms you mentioned with elementalx and never got a reboot. Flar is correct in saying the kernel is stable. Out of curiosity was the ROM you were running screwd when you had the reboot? I do know they modify it pretty heavily that the default governor ends up on performance when mixed with elementalx. Due to them defaulting to I believe intelliactive governor for their stock kernel and that governor not existing on elementalx.

Also the big cluster idles lower than the stock config of 633 to 384. So who knows what else they modify. So it might have something to due with that. Just saying. Or could be some app misbehaving .
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] bobbarker2:
I've ran many ROMs without elementalx causing any problems in the past before too. But code changes, his kernels, AOSP and ROMs. EX has always been stable as a rock for me til recently.

Screw'd has it's own custom kernel built in and when you flash EX, it defaults to performance governor for some reason because the Screw'd kernel is using intelliactive/bioshock I think. That is, until you config it in EXKM.

I don't have any apps installed beyond Google stuff, EXKM and 3C Toolbox for diagnostics.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
No disrespect meant. Yes I am extremely busy with my regular job and I get dozens of emails and pm's every day and try to read through this thread and many others. I tried to look at the logs on my phone while I was on the bus but the download and attachments didn't work on the first try so I had to move on. And I was very confident that there is no problem with the kernel.

I have now looked at the last log you posted and it simply ends abruptly without any errors. There is no problem with the kernel. Even if it didn't crash, it sounds like the ROM you're using is doing strange things that interfere with the way ElementalX is supposed to run.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] FuMMoD:
I wish my active was that low. Still trying to find the rogue apps.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Az Biker:
You only have 86 min unplugged and 54 min sot. Your active % will be higher the earlier in the unplugged cycle simply due to the minimal time to average.

After several hrs unplugged your active should be much lower.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] FuMMoD:
This is my first time looking into the battery monitor. I should've wiped battery stats at 100 like you did.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Az Biker:
Also, I am a bit of a nut about the thrill of squeezing out the best battery life I can within the realm of practical daily use.

So I charge to 100% somewhere just before I go to bed, so it doesn't stay plugged in overnight.

I read a few articles recently that strongly suggested the effectiveness and useful battery life of newer device batteries is noticeably diminished by constantly leaving them plugged in once fully charged. Whether it's science or fiction, it stuck with me. Anyway, that's why I unplugged fully charged just before bed.

Not sure if that aids in better overall batt life, but it very probably doesn't hurt it :)

PLUS! Charging to 100%, rebooting, unplugging, then resetting the batt monitor stats, is a FANTASTIC way to find errant little rogue apps. I usually get overnight drain of <1% during about 7 hrs, which let's me know my wakelocks and apps are under control...
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] pac213:
My question also.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TechMillz93:
How did u get those stats?

---------- Post added at 04:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 AM ----------

So basically charge before bed, reboot and reset battery stats?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] bobbarker2:
Great, thank you for following up. Its just very odd how this occurs on two ROMs that are generally regarded as well-maintained. With EX being the only commonality between the two builds, its logical to start there when investigating the problem.

http://hastebin.com/nevikehada.sm

And when I see MSM control manipulating the CPUs on and off rapidly right before the first tangabile log entry of the problem it pointed me even more towards the kernel.. Especially since msmcontrol is off.

It's a lot of weird quirks...

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sjandroiddeveloper:
Just look at the sot :)

Thanks beans and flar2
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
There is no reason to reset at 100%. The longer it goes, the more accurate your stats will be. All you need to do is watch whether active drain and idle drain are going up or down or staying the same. The battery monitor doesn't count time where the battery is not discharging.

The kernel is identical to stock in every way that impacts stability. This is intentional, as it is well optimized out of the box. I've looked at your logs and there are no kernel errors. If the ROM is introducing some kind of incompatibility, then that is beyond my control.

I have no idea what those do, you shouldn't touch them. I regret adding them to the app, but when I tried to remove them I got a bunch of complaints and one-star ratings on the play store.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Az Biker:
I only reset my battery monitor at 100% because I'm more interested in the per charge stats as opposed to weekly, or lifetime stats.

...from my NexsixP
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
