[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] .hEiMDaLL.:
Readahead kinda cuts both ways... On one hand one hand say a high read ahead value helps to access the (probably) next needed data faster. But in my opinion this is only partly true.

When you (your device) reads a big file from eg. a SD card or your internal storage this gives a nice speed up in access time. (Think of a mp3 file or a video maybe) On the other hand, if your device reads small files a large read ahead value is not always good. The read ahead cache gets filled with the data your device thinks you need next - ie the next sectors. This takes io time. Now, if the next needed data is not in the cached area, the read ahead cache needs to be flushed first before it gets filled again with the new data.

This creates a lot of io overhead and can slow down the overall io performance.

I had good experiences with 1024kb. But with today's storage speeds 512kb is a good value too. And we don't have slow (and old) SD cards in our devices that profit most from a larger read ahead.

I think it's good to set the read ahead for mmc (internal) storage to 1024/512. On the other hand, what about swap, cache, zram, etc? Wouldn't a read ahead of 1024 be counter productive? In my tweaks I'm currently experimenting with setting those to values between 4kb and 16kb...

Any thoughts about that? [MENTION=4670411]az_biker[/MENTION] [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hinxnz:
For sequential reads, higher is better eg. music, movies etc and for random access, lower is better. I always tend to use a lower value.

Got the 6P few days ago and have been using CM13, but I quickly started having a very annoying issue with Bluetooth sound popping and crackling. Tried all kinds of things to fix it and as a last resort I flashed this kernel and just like magic, the sound issue disappeared! Thanks!!!

It's nothing to do with the kernel. Did you install xposed? xposed did it to me. but after clearing dalvik+cache several times, somehow the error disappeared and NFC no longer FC

I am currently using AK Kernel with EX Manager, but EX Manager doesn't allow me to disable Touch Boost like with EX or edit the Sound and Gestures options, may you please add support for AK options ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
AK disables touchboost and it can't be enabled, so that option is not available.

The sound and gesture options definitely work in EXKM, I've tested it.

Hey changing kernel settings in kernel adiutor or trickster doesn't stick and keeps reverting back, especially the frequencies.

I suppose this a problem with read only system?

I tried the usual

mount -o rw, remount /system

but it says /system not found.

Am I missing something?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
I think you need to leave the / out of /system but flar2 has said at least 20-30 times not to touch the frequencies, they are controlled by many things that can override your preferences, just leave them alone.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] r3ferrei:
Any info on what the msm_thermal toggle does and why one may want to enable it?

I figured out that core_control seems to disable the offlining of cores (or onlining of them if they are currently offline from throttling) but could not find info on the thermal toggle.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
I don't know what it does on this phone and you shouldn't use it.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] cameljockey1:

Is this the right place if we have trouble with the app?

It's not saving my settings and revert them on reboot. Just tested it.

Touchboost is set to disabled, blue icon.

Governor options, darkspice 7.5 and apply on boot ticked.

CPU boost, frequency and milliseconds set to 0. (these settings persisted through reboot)

Any ideas? Touchboost revert to enabled and Governor options revert to default.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
How long are you waiting to have the settings be applied? Additionally, do you have any other things that could affect the boot service like Greenify

First time installing a custom kernel

So since im a noob to all of this; Should I have wiped cache/dalvik after flashing ElementalX in TWRP?

I just hit reboot, should I be concerned at all?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
No need to wipe caches after flashing a kernel.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Kappa Lamda:
Just one question cause I think I remember the cores of the big cluster used in a different way.

So I remember that with no apps just let the phone and watch the frequencies inside EX app, two cores of big cluster were offline and two @633.

Now I see all 4 of them @633.

I guess, I just remember wrong right? Maybe I remember a phase while throttling down.

Could someone confirm?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Sounds like thermal throttling.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TonyTurboII:
Anyone have any idea what on the kernel might be giving a hiccup using a joystick over USB OTG?

Playstation Sixaxis (PS3) controller works fine on Pure nexus with their Kernel, but as soon as I flash EX it stops working.

If someone else could verify if theirs works, or can test with the free "Sixaxis Enabler" app in the market id appreciate it.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Kappa Lamda:
So it is normal to have all four cores of big cluster active @633... Only if it gets too hot it shuts down two of them, right?

Sorry for all these questions, but I just loaded spice7.5 profile and unistalled Facebook and FB messenger replacing them with Metal Pro and Disa to save battery and want to check that nothing keeps drainingmy battery or force the cpu to work higher than expected.

Indeed, there is no hotplugging here so the cores will idle at 633MHz unless they are offlined by the thermal engine.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION], is there a way to have the swipe down camera gesture work with your Wake gestures app? As soon as I enable the app, the camera gesture doesn't work anymore.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
You would have to configure a gesture to open the camera in the wake gestures app.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sherlock5545:
Thanks. Just tried it but it doesn't work like the normal swipe down. Normally it would be as if I double pressed the power button. In the gesture app however, there is no option for that, so I have to use the app shortcut. Doing that won't launch the camera until I lock the device though.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Surfinette:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

It seems that there used to be an option to launch the camera when screen off by double-tapping the on-off button. Is this feature gone? I can't find the option in your EX app, and I don't like the swipe to launch camera app because I keep inadvertently launching the camera when I don't need it...

in your app's settings, it has wakelock toggles. are they blocking the wakelocks or do I need to disable that setting to disable the wakelock?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Enabled means the wakelock is allowed, disabled means the wakelock is blocked.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] siren_shadows:
any downsides to disabling them? can't find any documentation on that online
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Personally, I would only disable them if you are being affected by them (you should be able to see these in the kernel wakelock section of BetterBatteryStats for example).
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] siren_shadows:
they're not even showing up which is good. thanks! I'll leave it as is
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mobileman88:
Not really. It hardly uses battery
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sherlock5545:
Yeah, it mostly depends on your network and router. When I used to have an Xperia Z3, the wakelock used to keep my phone awake for at least 2 hours in 10 hours of idling.

With the 6P it's just 5/10 minutes at most, which is nothing compared to that. Still, if you block them, it's completely gone :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tekno4ever:
First off, thanks for this kernel! After installation, I tried to OC but could not find speeds above the stock CPU speeds that came with the phone. I then performed a search of the thread I noticed "For the moment, you'll have to modify the command line in the boot.img for over/under clocking. Tomorrow I will finish the full installer so freqs can be selected." by the OP after reading most of the result pages.

Is this still the case or might I be missing something?

If the above is still the case, might there be instruction somewhere as to how to perform such an action?

Also, is a FAQ or best practice available?

Lastly, where may I find additional info about the elementalX kernel features/settings?

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] silvertrain78:
When updating SuperSU, is it necessary to revert to stock kernel first, or is it OK to do running ElementalX?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
I'd revert to the stock kernel since SuperSU will restore a previous version of it as it can't patch an already patched kernel. So flash stock kernel, SuperSU, then ElementalX.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] i_pk_pjers_i:
Since I've always wondered this, and I figure you guys might know here and you guys are always great about responding to questions even if they are somewhat off-topic, I figured I would ask here.

I know with TitaniumBackup you can make flashable zips, and you can take the zip and flash it or extract it to the TitaniumBackup folder and restore from within the OS itself not just within recovery. At least, that's how it works on unencrypted. With encryption on, can you still flash a TitaniumBackup zip, and can you still extract a TitaniumBackup zip and restore from within the OS itself, if the said zip in both cases was made with an unencrypted OS? What if it was created with an encrypted OS, could you flash that zip/extract it and restore from OS with an unencrypted OS? I'm basically just wondering how different encryption vs unencryption is for TitaniumBackup zips and TitaniumBackup in general.

Thanks guys.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] italysfinest327:
Hi guys have stock 6p since October and haven't felt the need to unlock bootloader or root. But do like some of the benefits from having a custom kernel. If I unlocked bootloader and flashed ex kernel along with stock ROM with root, could I still update via otas if I used flashfire?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Az Biker:
I use Greenify, Vomertweaks, and a ton of dark themes, along with 60% display brightness, and manual sync.

But for a person who uses GPS, likes having their apps self update every hour, and full display brightness to see all of the 6P's beauty, my settings wouldn't be good for them.

If you use this device the way you used your last device, and you get an hour or more additional SOT, that is a great success!

I asked because I can't recall seeing you write anything about changes in EXKM. I'm not really technical so I don't know what to look for when tweaking my 6P for more preservative battery.
