Is it just me or is the cpu kinda borked? I'm using the elementalx app for my settings, and currently I have both of my cpu clusters (including all 8 cores) active the entire time. I also can't seem to change their max and min frequencies.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] micmars:
Clear app cache and data in settings, app, reboot into recovery and flash the kernel again...on boot, start the EX Kernel Manager, and just take a long look at the dashboard...your should see them scaling quite nicely. Avoid interaction with the screen, report back if you see the same behavior.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] MortenHeck:
Amazingly easy process and the result is so smooth!!

Just a quick question, how do I remove the error message when the phone is booting?

Ignore this, the wrong forum!! Sorry!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sherlock5545:
Does the second cluster actually need to go off? Mine scales downs to 633MHz. I thought that was normal?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] :
No point in having a low power cluster if the high power cluster is always on anyway, right?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] MrPhilo:
Put the volume a bit higher when listening on your headphone, listen to the music, the bass and voice, it randomly goes high and low for no reason, this doesn't happen on my other device with the same .flac files, only on this kernel, I still use the kernel and keep the OnePlus as my music player, but would prefer to use the Nexus 6P as both are large devices.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] :
Didn't help. No core ever turns off. But thanks.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ShermanTenor:
I never see cores turn off completely (unless I enable the hexacore option), but they certainly do operate in a lower frequency. Are all of your cores staying at the max clock speed all the time, or do they bounce around as the workload dictates?

Edit:

I stand corrected, I do occasionally see cores toggle on and off. I guess there must be some hotplugging going on after all.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] :
Nah, they are not on max frequency all the time, but they are on all the time unless I use hexacore, like you said. This is an absolutely massive and unnecessary battery drain. From what I know the high power cluster shouldn't be on at all unless you're gaming or doing equally demanding tasks. The low power cluster shouldn't always use all 4 cores either, especially not when just looking at some info in elementalx.

I hope [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] can take a look at this, because this is a huge issue.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] redsmith:
I can confirm this issue. I have observed that it only happens whenever speaker gains are above 20, which is the default level. Also, I set headphone gain to 0. After this, the problem goes away. Perhaps the speakers are not to be set above their default level?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] MrPhilo:
It set to 20, I'll change it to 18 to see if its fixes it
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
No new commits are showing yet. If they changed anything, we may have to wait a bit.

Nothing is borked, CPU behaviour is completely the same as stock on this kernel

As I've said many times, don't mess with CPU frequencies unless you know what you're doing. That's why there's a warning in the app. If you don't understand these factors, you can only make the CPU behaviour worse.

The big cluster needs to be on all the time because tasks get migrated there virtually instantaneously. Things are happening on a microsecond scale.

They occasionally turn off due to thermal daemon

It's not an issue at all. The big cores are in a low power state most of the time, but they need to be online just in case a task migrates to one of those cores. Hotplugging has too much latency for the big,LITTLE design. It would take longer to hotplug the core than it would take for the CPU to complete the task.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Please let me know if this turns out to be true. When I experimented, I was decreasing the speaker levels (18 and 20), I didn't increase them.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] MortenHeck:
Which CPU governor do you recommend? I come from Shamu, and used elementalx. Is this still the best overall governor?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
I have not tried elementalx governor yet. Actually I haven't optimized this kernel at all yet because I've been away and haven't had time. Interactive is the default for now and it gives pretty good performance and battery life.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] micmars:
I believe it is.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TeriusPR:
I have a doubt about some features in this kernel, all associated to battery consumption. I don't know if it's me but since I installed Pure Nexus ROM and this kernel my battery is draining faster. I don't know if this is related to the sweep2sleep, wake gestures or the maximum cpu stats I modified (from stock now my numbers are higher so I guess is higher processing and I guess is higher battery drainage too,but I don't know how true is it) or even the ROM like I said before. Battery performance like most of us is very important and relevant and this isn't an exception for me. If this is the price I have to pay well then I will be more than thankful for any battery performance methods you guys can provide me.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] micmars:
Lol, I always am elated when folks quote the entire OP for a comment, I just never had the cajones to do it.

As to the kernel and the rom, they pair flawlessly...it doesn't help by posting a general, rhetorical question...

You need to install Better Battery Stats, and isolate that which is causing the drain.

It's not the kernel.

We'll help you in the PureNexus thread.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] :
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] It seems like I was mistaken, I didn't think big.little was that different from a "normal" setup. Thanks for clearing thinks up. I've always enjoyed your kernel on nexus 5 and I'm sure it won't be any different on the 6p. Excuse my ignorance and all the best.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
To add onto what [MENTION=5244502]micmars[/MENTION] said, I have had pretty stellar battery life with this kernel on Chroma, Pure Nexus, Cataclysm and AOSiP (on the Nexus 6 but this logic is all still valid). The gestures do not drain much battery at all (flar2 mentioned somewhere it is along the lines of like 1% overnight or something). Overclocking could be affecting the battery life but it may not be, I'd keep stock values to test. But this kernel has not really been modified much from stock yet so the poor battery life is most likely a result of a wakelock. BetterBatteryStats should help you see that better and take the appropriate actions.

Can i change the system vibration intensity using this kernel and EX manager?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] NovaSlim:
Yes, It is in EX Kernel Manager->Miscellaneous
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] MrPhilo:
Setting to 18 didn't change nothing, still was the same. The volume for each different hz will go up and down randomly, theres no consistent pattern as far as I can see. My speaker is fine, maybe theres a problem with faux driver or something?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Ofthecats:
Any other sound mods? Viper?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] MrPhilo:
Nope, just stock and this kernel, nothing else
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] emiwonder:
Couple weeks ago I wrote here that this kernel has issues with proper displaying of battery charge. Want to say sorry to flar2 because noticed same thing happening on full stock.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] weavethesource:
I'm having the same issue with headset/headphone volumes with this version as well. When I use bluetooth in the car or play music/video with the speakers it sounds just fine. I do use Viper but I've tried it on and off, and it appears people who don't use Viper are having the same problem. I didn't experience this in the previous version so I'm not sure what's different but I definitely appreciate [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] looking into it, I just wanted to add my experience. Overall, awesome kernel performance and I'm looking forward to new stuff ^^
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] MeetFace:
I forgot to enable a setting, I can simply reflash and go through aroma again, right?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] foeshigity:
You can use the EX kernel manager app to change any settings you missed during install. Also helps to have set on boot running for those options as well.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] micmars:
I bought the app just for the beauty of it alone...I just open it and stare at it...every idiot in Google's material design department should be forced to do this for hours per day until they get with the program...I mean, seriously...Thyrus, former xda member and active Team BlackOut member, does work like this.

EX Kernel Manager...

Thyrus Play Store...

I say fire the lot of them, or bring back Stalin show trials and ask them a few simple questions...

"Who is responsible for this garbage? These apps, why all of this disgusting white? Did you do this? Look at that beautiful app from [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]...look at it...either make your apps like that, or face judgment... "

Update!!!

This update reduces wlan rx wakelock, cleans up the sound driver and updates the interactive governor.

I couldn't reproduce any sound issues. Let's see how it goes.

Download

ElementalX-N6P-0.09

Changes:

-clean up sound driver

-CAF updates to interactive

-reduce wifi wakelocks

What affect will reducing WiFi wakelocks have on applications?

For instance, sometimes with Spotify I have to kill the app and start it again when I'm on WiFi because it says I'm offline even though I'm connected to WiFi and other internet apps work.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] micmars:
There was a point made...that the app made by the dev is absolutely stunning...the epitome of excellence in material design.

The rest was hyperbole, or a rant as you've described it.

What governor do you guys use? I've asked before but I never got an answer.

I haven't touched the governor since first flashing, and it reads interactive, so that's what I'm using.

I don't touch anything but the controls that are discrete from the aroma installer (screen, volume), so whatever is left by default is what remains.

I'd updated to MDB08M before flashing the kernel - maybe there's an incomparability? I'll revert back to MDB08K and I'll see if that sorts it.

stock(interactive), the developer have yet to tune the custom ElementalX governor for N6P yet and recommend using the stock governor for now.

If you searched "governor" you would have gotten the same answer from the dev a while ago.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] skulldreamz:
Yeah the ramdisk is in the rom, not the boot.img. That's why you have to re-flash the rom when changing kernels or you'll get undesired consequences

after flashing this, is it suppose to take a long time to boot? I just flashed it and its still on the ROM splash screen for the past 5 mins...

Reflashed with the enforcing unchecked and its booting now... got to the optimizing screen so good to go :)

I don't think its specific to version .09. I've seen that bug ever since I believe the 5.1 or 6.0 update on my Nexus 5. Where it will randomly disconnect when screen is off and when you turn it on you see it reconnecting. I think a workaround is to select specific 2.4/5ghz band instead of automatic. Don't remember. As I just ignore that since it reconnects fast and its random.

Wifi is running great.
