No. Alarms working fine.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
I don't see any connection between this and alarms. And alarms work fine on my device. Kylo has followed my recent commmits on this, I don't see anything that was reverted other than the unnecessary stuff I removed on the last update.

I think the problem described is the fauxsound app. Don't use it or it will turn your speaker volume down to 0. Then you won't hear your alarms.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] xflowy:
so its common to fail at the first try (also i waited between tapping the third and fourth time and that made no difference)?

why do u recommend swiping instead of double tap?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
No accidental wake ups and it is much more accurate. I rarely miss a sweep and it has never woken up in my pocket or on a call.

Wake gestures app

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] - I really like your app to control wake gestures, but I find that I have to manually start it on each reboot. - I have found a workaround which is to use the app AutoStarter to start it on boot and then it works fine, it's really no biggy but thought I'd mention it in case you could simply fix it. Many thanks.

It's working flawlessly for me here :)

To the developer, thanks for making this! I tried this kernel a couple of times on my Nexus 6 but I was never content with it. On the 6P however, it is excellent.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] micmars:
You can just tap the icon for start at boot, and it...starts at boot. No need for a second app

This kernel increases considerably the volume in headphones?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Jsilver73:
Ok, must be something my end then because it is not starting on boot for me. Will have to do a clean install to see what's what. Thank you for confirming that it does work though :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
It definitely works, something is interfering.

There are a bunch of apps, including greenify, that can prevent services from running on boot.

It goes so loud you could blow out your ear drums.

Could someone please share some screen colour settings that improves the whites.. Stock seems yellowish to me.. Thank you
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Badger50:
This is what I use. Seems to work pretty good for me :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] halfez:
Surprised the kernel is still in beta, it working great!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Raghav_K:
Probably a dumb q, but what do these buttons do?

I thought they were to reset to default, but they dont seem to do that ..
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Apply on boot so the settings are persistent across reboots. If you want to go back to the default value, make sure that button is unticked and restart your phone.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] dirtyhank:
Do you guys know what color profile settings will render a similar look to the stock sRGB? I've grown quite fond of it but the damn setting is disabled every time I reboot the phone.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mrchennyken:
Would it be possible to disable Ambient Display on shake, and instead have it only enabled for when notifications arrive?

decent! thanks brother, looks much better to me.

great kernel, awesome work!

Btw has anyone modified stock kernel settings for better battery or performance?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ratson:
Hi, do you also have ondemand as default governor since .09? it was interactive before, what's the reason?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mko000:
No, it's still interactive for me.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Cyberratchet:
I just got my Nexus 6p today and I’ve flashed CM13 with ElementalX V0.09, which seems to work great for the few hours I have this setup. I just have a question regarding the CPU frequency settings inside the EX Kernel Manager app. The min CPU frequency is set to 1248 on each cluster, which seems a little high for my usage.

What’s weird is that under CPU times, the CPU seems to be clocked at 384Mhz 30% percent of the time and only 6% at 1248 Mz. Can I just put 384Mhz as the min value and would that even make any difference for the battery live?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Phazmos:
Mpdecision will change frequencies as it sees fit.

You can set lower, but it'll change anyway, at least until we see some custom hot plugs come out for this chipset.

You can play with governor parameters to help keep frequencies lower when not needed though. That's where it's at for conserving battery via cpu.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Whenever you touch the screen, the min freq is boosted to 1248MHz for about 1.5 seconds, otherwise, it goes back down to 384 automatically. Please don't try to change it with apps.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
I have some ideas about this, and will probably start testing next weekend.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Phazmos:
If you mean hot plugs - you da man!!

Mpdecision was never aggressive enough for my normal usage.

I miss tweaking it!

First of all great to see you here too, [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]. I enjoyed a lot your work on my nexus 5.

Not sure if I'm the only one or if this has been reported already but as soon as I update to 09 I loose all sounds, reverting back to 08 fixes the problem. Latest cataclysm, stock settings. Any ideas ?

TIA !

What does that have to do with the kernel?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] 3ddfknmontana:
Why is my 4 last cores not on? They where working fine... I even tried reinstalling the kernel.. No luck.. Help? Oh and the fact that im using save mode is not the reason why it's not working. Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
In your case, it's because of low battery.

The thermal daemon and battery driver can offline cores.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] 3ddfknmontana:
Ok, that's awesome, thanks for the reply, i had thought of that before but wasn't sure. Makes sense now. Thanks alot my friend.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] I understand disabling fsync makes my phone susceptible to data loss or corruption on random reboots and crashes. Would dynamic fsync be better?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] 3ddfknmontana:
Leave it on
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] noobhero:
good sirs! how can I catch what is causing my phone to randomly reboot?

many times it just reboot on its own while sitting on the desk.

I've tried clean install starting from scratch but it happens still.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] NovaSlim:
upload the contents of your sys/fs/pstore folder after a random reboot.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] noobhero:
alright! will do the next time it happens again. cheers!

so can i assume apps like syslog has got no use in MM already?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] NovaSlim:
Only if you are using it on a new device with a 3.10 kernel(like this one), for devices like N5/N7 that are still on a 3.4 kernel you would still be uploading the last.kmsg after a random reboot.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] drawde40599:
So Google is still using MpDecision ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tracerit:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

Any chance you'll allow users to set the percentage when powersave mode turns on and which governor to use (currently still using interactive, wondering if powersave would be more suitable?)?

Also are there any conflicts with the apps' powersave mode and Android's battery save mode?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
No, mpdecision is gone, but there is something called perfd

I never use the powersave mode, so I'm not sure if there are conflicts. Probably OK.

The powersave gov should never be used
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] 3ddfknmontana:
Seems like my phone only runs in majority on 324mz and 1248mz

.. not alot going in between, why is minimum cpu on 1.2k?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
The phone boosts the minimum frequency when you touch the screen, it will go back down to 384 if you do not try to mess with it in kernel tweaking apps. Source.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ChronoReverse:
I heard that touchboost doesn't really reduce battery life noticeably but isn't 1.5 seconds particularly long? After a couple of timer ticks, I'd have thought the governor would have caught up to the sudden CPU load. Wouldn't 80ms (4 ticks) be more than enough?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
It's always long on Nexus devices. It's about 3 seconds on the Nexus 5.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ChronoReverse:
Whoa. I guess smoothness was prioritized over everything.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tracerit:
Cool, so I'll use interactive until elementalx governor is optimized for thr nexus 6p. What kind of aim does the elementalx governor go after?

update on my random reboots.

i googled a bit and read some other users having RR too.

one of them suggested turning off ambient display.

I tried that and have been running a day without RR. If it stays this way. ambient display could be the cause.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] bikeryder007:
Interesting. I have never had a RR on my 6p using both stock and elemental x kernel. And I have been on EX 90% of the time. And I have had ambient display turned off from the beginning.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] noobhero:
well, you can try turning ambient display on and see if you'll get any RR :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] defconoi:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] I'm unable to set the minimum cpu clock to 384 in your app, it seems to only allow u to change it to the current low. Can you look into it?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Just don't touch that setting, the built in touchboost interferes.

If you don't touch it, it is set correctly by default.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tracerit:
got the new EX Kernel app update but I'm not seeing where the backlight dimmer option is in the app?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
I think that option is only available for the 5X.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
I haven't released it yet. It will be in the next kernel.update
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TheRunner89:
Thanks for this kernel [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]!

I have a question that I have find a proper answer. Does turning on double tap 2 wake feature affects (a lot) the battery consuption? My previous phone was a Lg G2, so I'm kinda addicted to this, but if the battery is going to "suffer" I'm turning this off.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
No effect on battery.

I suggest swipe up to wake instead of double tap, it works better and has fewer accidental wakes (since we don't have built-in pocket detection)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Dissmeister:
Not sure if anybody else has this issue but I've got V4A and fauxsound on my device as I mostly use it for music but on the default flash, on unchanged CPU values during audio playback on earphones, I get a fair bit of stuttering/noise. Like the sound playback itself lagging. I've turned off V4A and could still hear it. Since then on the Elementalx governor, I've manually changed the active_floor_freq to their max for each cluster. Default was at 960 I believe. After that, its fine. Not sure why but its like the CPU is barely in use during playback which causes the "audio lag". Maybe somebody else can reproduce this as well. On .09

Also, somebody else mentioned fauxsound conflicting with alarm volume. Have no such issues on mine, alarms work perfectly and so does FS.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Please remove fauxsound, it should not be used on this device.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] 220volt:
I tried this and it works fine, I ran all stock without overclock or underclock. But when i tried Geekbench i got very low score singelcore 800 something and multicore 2400 something.

Anyone else who tried Geekbench? I still thought the phone felt smooth, but something must be wrong with the kernel?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
There is nothing wrong with the kernel
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] 220volt:
But why the low score? When i use stock i got 1328 singel and 4114 multi.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Phazmos:
Tweaking this for battery, I got 1200-1400/4000-4400.

Doesn't appear to be a kernel problem to me.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] chubby65:
You even get low scores on stock

But why even bother benchmark it's a waste of time and doesn't mean anything nowadays

As long as it runs smoothly i don't really mind
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
There are all kinds of things that can influence benchmark scores. You need to do multiple runs with rest/cooling periods between runs.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] chevanlol360:
Is it me or does double tap to wake doesn't work near the corners of the screen? My finger is clearly tapping on the screen but maybe 3.5mm from the corner or top/bottom of the screen? Wanna know if its just me cause I have a tempered glass screen protector on and I'm not sure if thats causing the issue or not. Works perfect in the center of the screen though.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
It's true, it doesn't work near the edges
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] GuinnessX:
Gestures

I am trying to use EX Kernel Manager and Wake Gestures to achieve Sweep2Wake (up *only*) and Sweep down to toggle flashlight, but something is conflicting... No matter what I do, EXKM switches back to a weird "defaut" of S2W to trigger on any swipe (Right, Left, Up, Down), re-enables DT2W, and consequently breaks Wake Gestures settings.

I might be misrepresenting cause and effect, but that is what I see... Anyone else?

I had this issue with the previous version of Pure Nexus, which I had dirty flashed, so I waited for the update last night, wiped & clean flashed the 12/1 build. My problem hasn't changed.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
That's normal. If you run the wake gestures app, it automatically enables all gestures at the kernel level.

if you want to disable them, set them to "no action" in the wake gestures app. Then ignore the settings in EXKM.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] grayskul:
Same here!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Simer03:
I posted this in the Q&A but I'm impatient and maybe u guys know. I bought a compatible USB A to C cable on amazon, from iOrange that was on the list of legit C charging cables but my question is does it matter what the A end plugs into? I wanna use my Nexus 6 fast charger but I'm worried cuz the 6p doesn't support fast charging, only "rapid" charging which is different (I think). I'm wondering will it ruin my device long term? Or should i just use a normal charging block? Sorry for the off topic :/
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
If the cable is compatible and approved, your phone will not get damaged. The Motorola charger will not charge as fast as the Nexus charger but it will be fine because it charges at a normal rate when not connected to a Quick Charge 2.0 device (2A/5V).
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Simer03:
Answers my question! Thanks man!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] GuinnessX:
Makes sense... I had a few nagging annoyances that I had been mentally logging, all of which were resolved by the clean flash of PN. This one just confused me, I guess...

Thanks for setting me straight and for all you do with this kernel. I'm coming from an antique Sprint GNex, so I'm new to your work, but loving it so far!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] jinosong:
Do we need to flash chainfire's kernel before flashing this?

How do we do this?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
No, you do not need the boot.img. If your ROM fails to boot, reflash EX and uncheck the SELinux Enforcing option on the last page.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Update!!!

This update continues with a bit more optimization. Let's see how this goes.

I've also added a backlight dimmer option. This makes it slightly less bright at lower levels. The path is /sys/module/mdss_fb/parameters/backlight_dimmer. I just pushed an update to EX Kernel Manager that adds the setting.

I might adjust the backlight dimmer some more because I'm not sure yet whether I've fixed the thing that was annoying me. The problem is not that the screen can't get dark enough, it just doesn't transition smoothly. In certain low light situations, the brightness changes drastically back and forth and it's quite annoying.

Download

ElementalX-N6P-0.10

Changes:

-build with o2 gcc optimization

-Add backlight dimmer option
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] :
Which o-level did you use before?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] eggydrums:
Flar, you mentioned that FauxSound should not be used with this device, why is that?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Osize, which is used on stock

It does unknown things to the sound registers and causes weird problems. It hasn't been updated in a long time and has workarounds for other devices that cause problems on this one.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] eggydrums:
Strange, I haven't had any problems and I listen to music pretty much all day, but I'll stop using it based on your advice. I'm planning on buying your app soon just to show support as I'm really enjoying this kernel. It has sound controls right?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] NovaSlim:
Thanks for the 0.10 update, installed express and running well so far.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
I removed a bunch of stuff from the driver in the last few releases, so maybe it's not acting up, but I can't guarantee that so recommend not using fauxsound. It was definitely causing issues before.

EXKM has sounds controls.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] BartLuke94:
Hi all,

I've never flashed elementalx on my 6p.

I'm on the latest version of pure nexus (12/01). Do you know if I have to uncheck enforcing in the installer?

Thank you

Inviato dal mio Nexus 6P utilizzando Tapatalk
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
No, Pure Nexus after 11/21 works with SELinux in Enforcing.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ratson:
I recently found out that if my 6P is connected to my pc through an externally powered usb hub after 10-20 minutes it stops charging and starts to deplate on a 3-5%/h rate although it is connected to the very same power source. It charges properly from AC. Can this be kernel related, did you experience anything similar?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] italia0101:
Regarding the brightness setting you mentioned , i've noticed this too, i downloaded a sensor app to see what was going on with the light sensor. in low light it was fluctuating constantly between 0 and 11 lux . now 0 was the correct reading as i was in a dark room and didn't move, but it kept fluctuating anyway , that seems to be why the brightness changes randomly in lower light
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] galaxykeks:
I didn't understand exactly if we shouldn't change the Min/Max values of the CPU?

I got, that we should leave the min value as it is right?

But is it save to underclock it slightly like 1,3GHz? like in the powersafe profile, just using it permanently...

Same goes with the GPU...
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] 3ddfknmontana:
Can some one post a good battery saving profile, my phone is always kinda hot...
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Best to choose max freq in AROMA. I installed with 1248 as max and it was still smooth
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Check that you don't have something running in the background. I haven't noticed this phone to get very hot.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
The sensor is controlled by a system library, so I can't modify it, but that makes sense.

What I found with the brightness on this phone is that there are large differences in brightness for each step at the low end of the scale. You can see it by slowly dragging the brightness slider to min brightness.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] gandharva:
flar2, are you going to introduce some less agressive thermal throttling settings into your kernel?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Probably. I haven't profiled the thermal throttling behaviour yet. I haven't even tried gaming yet due to lack of time. I usually test with Asphalt 8 and Riptide g2.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Fentadroid:
For about 1 second the screen is unresponsive when i unlock the phone (i have to press 2 times). This happens with the kernel over cataclysm rom. Tried to remove the kernel and everything is ok now.... What can be?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
It's not the kernel. It may have been an isolated incident caused by memory pressures. If it persists, do a clean install and wipe caches.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] adrman:
There change you made is definitely an improvement. I only have experienced one sudden change since flashing 0.10. I'm curious if you'll be able to tweak it further. :svetius:
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] galaxykeks:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

Thanks, i guess i meant for both clusters.

Settings i set with the app don't stay saved for me.

Like max GPU freq. and Hexacore mode.

Any idea why?

And could u add them to AROMA?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
The system (mainly perfd, but also other things) controls the frequencies and cores and will override the app every time.

That's why I suggest setting the max CPU freq in AROMA and then leaving it all alone.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Does hexcore even make a difference? I'm not sure that it does...

I've also done a bit of testing with touchboost disabled and not seeing significant battery gains.

Stock is very well optimized on the 6Pand my battery life is outstanding. I barely ever charge this phone and I never seem to be running low on battery. So I'm not sure that we should be obsessed with battery life. That's why I've been focusing on making the experience better with things like the wake gestures and colour, sound and backlight fixes.
