None that I've noticed, but I haven't really been monitoring it that closely either. Vibration motor seems as strong as ever. I'm not concerned about it at all, if that helps

What are the msm_thermal and core control options? I know they are related to the temperature monitor driver but what do they do exactly?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] khoacao96:
If you have the EX Kernel Manager, there's a built-in update function inside the app that will automate all steps required. If not, you can manually download & flash the new version.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] boxguy1:
Is there a basic version of the app am really broke hopefully I will buy the app and donate once I get birthday money
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] khoacao96:
Unfortunately no. If you can't afford the app, you can still update it manually through flashing. It's not like you've hit a dead end anyway.

Isn't there going to be a Christmas sale on EX Kernel Manager?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mpgrimes:
Really?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
At the risk of sounding like the Grinch, no I don't have sales planned for EXKM. It is simply not worthwhile for me to price it any lower, given the amount of time I invest in supporting the app and all my kernels.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] burduli:
Okay, thanks. I'll buy it tomorrow anyway
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate Christmas, and Happy Holidays to those who celebrate other traditions at this time of year.

Edit since this my DD kernel. Guess I'll treat myself to the paid app.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] jhs39:
It's actually an excellent app and works much better than the free alternatives. For the price you can't go wrong.

---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 PM ----------

There are free kernel managers/tuners but I wasn't impressed with the ones I tried. I think you are better off shelling out for Ex Kernel Manager but it won't cost you anything to try one of the free ones except your time.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] access9:
100% agree. I've not regretted buying it at all. I have purchased several other kernel apps in the past and EX is by far the easiest, fully featured kernel management app packaged in an excellent, user friendly UI.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] J0ESK0:
Just in case anyone is wondering..It seems there is a conflict between CM Live Display and this Kernel's color tuning. CM Live Display is turned off but still the Kernel doesn't stick color settings.

I switched to Franco R41, the last revision before Flar2's implementation of Live Display cohesion was merged. Something is definitely off between CM and kernels with this fix. Flar, don't know if you want to investigate or not...Thanks for your time.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
I may remove it because it's unstable on this device, but basically you should use livedisplay to do any color stuff if you're on cm. It's built into the system, so it's in full control over everything.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Blindfold_NL:
No problem. Google rewards was nice this year, so couldn't think of a better place to spend it than to support developers like you!

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] dephsone:

I copied the two profiles into the directory sdcard/elementalx and when I go to select a governor neither of them show up. What I do have when I'm into the EX Manager under CPU - Select Governor - Only the following are listed

Elemental X

EXKM/CPU/Governor Options/Load. Click "Apply on Boot" when done. These are profiles for the CPU Governors. You were looking at CPU Governors.

It changes the brightness algorithm to be slightly darker at low brightness but same as stock at mid to high brightness. Also helps to smooth transitions at the lower end.

I noticed on the 4.04 kernel doesn't have the option to adjust voltage or temperature for thermal throttling. I know your kernel for the N6 had this options but I'm new to this device and was wondering if this is something that was going to be added or not? Awesome kernel running great as it has on other devices.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Ntress:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] thanks for an amazing kernel and kernel manager app, is there an option to add to the EXKM app option to monitor the battery since last charge instead of only since boot? i don't always remember to make a flag after unplugging the phone...
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Voltages have already been discussed.

Thermal throttling temperature is in EXKM/CPU/Thermal Throttling, at least it shows up on my 5X. Should *should* be there on the 6P.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
There is no thermal option on the 6P, I didn't find a need to change it. You can modify it by editing /etc/thermal-engine.conf

I'll think about adding this, but generally the way this battery monitor works is to keep cumulative stats as long as the phone is on battery. The screen on time still won't match the system or other battery apps because EXKM only measures while the battery is discharging.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Ntress:
Sure I do understand that..

Still I think it would be a nice option to add and use.. Thank you very much !
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ultyrunner:
Why don't you just install GSAM if you want more options around battery stats?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Ntress:
Because EXKM is much simplier and give me the stats I'm interested to check :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
GSAM doesn't really give any useful stats, which is why I made a better battery monitor and included it in EXKM

Latest build not working on N4F26J.

Soft bootloop.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Base2:
OmageBlaze, It's working perfectly for me.

I had just had updated my Nexus 6p today with factory image angler-n4f26j-factory-01874fd6.zip via fastboot. Rebooted to recovery and installed SR2-SuperSU-v2.79-SR2-20170103215521.zip via TWRP 3.0.2-3, then booted to system. Rebooted into TWRP and installed ElementalX-N6P-4.04.zip, then rebooted to system.

I have always tended to install Su and EX separately as they both patch the boot image file on installation, just an old time habit.

At a guess have you checked the md5 sum of your EX file? :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ricco333:
Make sure you flash ElementalX first and then SuperSU, otherwise you will not be able to boot, I'm on the 26J image and can tell you it does work well.

Hope it helps.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] drothenberger:
I flashed SuperSU and the EX as part of the same flash session and it worked fine for me. Also in 26J.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ricco333:
Cool it works either way then! Good to know.

Erik
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ultyrunner:
Unless I'm missing something, while the EXKM built-in is nice, I can't get averages per charge over time like I can with GSAM, nor can I drill down into detailed app battery use, which can sometimes assist in determining drain culprits. So, things like 'useful' and 'better' might be personal value/purpose adjectives ... I like the quick view of the EXKM battery monitor but find GSAM 'better and more useful' for certain purposes.

Guys where i can find cpu hotplugging in the app ? I want the the non working cores to shut off
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] xflowy:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] when flashing your kernel over dirty unicorn (clean flashed it before ofc), performance gov is set by default after first boot (which is already quite strange). if i lock interactive for both cpus, after a restart, the big one will have itself resetted to performance again. hows that, i mean.. i even locked the setting.

thanks :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
It's be sure DU sets impulse and ironactive as the governors during boot and this kernel doesn't have them so it defaults back to performance.

As for the exkm issues, you're waiting until you see the apply on boot toast before checking right?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] xflowy:
yea i waited. still only interactive on little applies.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sam.balia1012:
i can never understand why people like to clutter any xda thread, usually before I post a question or start a new topic, i'll wait till the current issue

is answered... but lately, one guy is asking about a governor settings, and the very next guy start asking about SuperSU....etc

That cannot be productive nor proper....give it time till one issue gets at least discussed ....

High brightness mode keeps turning ON although I disabled it & locked the toggle switch.

Uh...Actually, per XDA rules, you are the one cluttering the thread. A post of the same thing in the span of less than 24 hours? That's classified under spam. Generally, you exercise patience. And people don't need to wait for your issue to be resolved before sounding theirs. That is not at all cluttering or being disrespectful. This isn't a customer service line dedicated for you.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Do you have any of High Brightness Mode Widget, Franco app, EXKM or Kernel Adiutor?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] IM0001:
Can I ask a question about HotPlug? I hear it mentioned in a lot of threads about kernel tweaks and governor profiles, but damn if I can't make sense on what it means to actually switch or tune one in the kernel. It sounds like its something you can switch like a governor in the kernel but looking around all I can in the EX Kernel Manager, I don't quite see the option, (or if there really is a reason to with the latest MSM ones it seems).

Yet then I will see some users getting 6-8H SOT on their 6P's and I am sitting here admittedly with a loaded phone, but only getting 3.5H~ish of SOT and wondering if I can improve in it a little bit with Kernel magic before I purge some more apps then I have to.

The move to 7.1.1 has improved battery life a good amount for sure, especially standby time, (And a new "Refurb" phone with a new battery helps too) but in all my EX tweakage I have done in the past, I just can't seem to extend the SOT to the levels I see some people get here. I always thought it was the Screen itself eating into the battery so are these guys just running in Monochrome mode with all black backgrounds and grey text or something?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] jhs39:
Some governors are more turned for performance and eat battery faster, some are turned for battery preservation and may cause lag when you use your phone. There are also profiles that can be loaded for governors that further tweak settings. You should do some research on what the governors do and experiment on your phone to get combination of battery life and performance you are looking for. You can definitely get longer SOT with right settings but there is a trade off.

---------- Post added at 08:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 PM ----------

I'm sure people with long SOT would be willing to share what governors and profiles they are using. I don't go for Max SOT over performance so I can't really help there. I use on-demand governor with Ghost pepper profile which is balanced between performance and battery life. Ive read hawks tail and glass fish (I think I have those names right) lean more towards battery life.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sam.balia1012:
no widgets at all.

I even disabled Kernel Adiutor.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] IM0001:
I know plenty about Governors themselves, but people mention HotPlug drivers and I am still sort of confused how those fit into the mix. I believe I have seen bits where it is flashed from Recovery, others are adjustable through Other Kernels, but I can't quite seem to find a solid source like I can for Governors themselves.

When I was last using EX on PN, I loved the GlassFish Governor as a good mix of speed and battery savings, but lately I have to admit Google has done good in making Stock run quite good so I have been sticking what that, but am getting the tweaking hankering back and will probably jump on the PN + EX bandwagon again once the next PN Drops.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] jhs39:
I don't think Ex kernel supports hotplugging.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] kyzn:
It doesn't.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] pedrofidalgo:
What does hot pulling does? I think that Flash Kernel suports it. Are you using Flash kernel with hotplugging?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] kyzn:
It puts the large cores in offline mode when you don't need it. Yes, Flash kernel has hotplugging. No I don't use it. I don't feel the need to cripple performance for several more minutes of SOT. I find that putting restrictions is only beneficial to really light users, which I am not.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] e753:
