hi there, i'd like to flash this kernel combined with Cataclysm ROM. In order to have a perfect situation, have i to flash first the rom and after this kernel? Will this erase all my data (i need a backup)? thanks and sorry for my noob mood :D
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] gianton:
Just flash the ROM and SuperSU if needed and then flash EX kernel. Your data will be untouched when flashing kernels.

---------- Post added at 02:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 PM ----------

Wipe data of EX kernel app and uninstall it, then reboot and you'll have the settings you first chose in aroma.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Badger50:
Do a full wipe, flash rom, then root with whatever systemless version of SU that you want to use, then flash kernel. I'm running the same setup. Works flawlessly! And if your talking about app data, then use TiBu to back/restore all that stuff :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
The app pulls the correct file, it just names it last_kmsg.

However, unless you are overclocking or using some strange settings, your reboots are not caused by the kernel, it's completely stable.

As long as the apply on boot button beside the setting is greyed out, it will return to default when you reboot.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] GoogleFan:
I'm running pure nexus with systemless root. Can I just flash this and retain everything or are there other steps?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Just flash
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hbkekko:
ok i flashed rom...how to root with a systemless version of SU? which version have i to choose? thanks

yes i did it...

i've a big problem. when i try to open settings, its says "Unfortunately, settings has stopped working"

what can i do?

i flashed twrp, then cataclysm, then root (with wipe as guide says), then this kernel...
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Badger50:
Which SU did you flash?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hbkekko:
BETA-SuperSU-v2.64-20151220185127

edit: i came back stock and flashed all again with BETA-SuperSU-v2.52 and now is ok

the only problem with a system root is the fact that AndroidPay doesn't work?

Latest EXKM has an option to add a Battery Monitor shortcut to the homescreen. You can find it in the overflow menu in the Battery Monitor.

I had to disable it because of that very issue. What SEEMED to happen for me is it would read a swipe down when I put it into my pocket, then launch the camera next time I unlocked the phone via fingerprint. Regardless, it was launching the camera probably 75% of the time I unlocked the phone.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hbkekko:
i enabled too the swipe2lunchcamera. to disable i just have to reflash the kernel?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] dipack95:
Funnily enough, I ran into this same problem yesterday! After I flashed ElementalX. Turns out that it's a problem with SuperSU 2.64.

In the guide posted above, the user has linked to a temp solution given by Chainfire, here: Link

Anyway, if that doesn't work, I just used the unSU zip, removed v2.64, and flashed v2.52 for System Root. If you're Systemless, you can use one of the other alternatives, and then try flashing EX.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] JokerAce:
You mentioned the one I pulled from your app as the wrong log. So was wondering where's the right one?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tracerit:
I have an issue with bluetooth audio and was directed to check my kernel (using Pure Nexus ROM).

When I get into my car, it automatically connects to Bluetooth but it resets the volume to zero. I won't have time to check if the stock kernel has this same effect until tomorrow, but a quick search here doesn't seem to show any complaints but is it normal?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
It was the log from recovery. It grabs the log from the last time booted.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hbkekko:
i bought the app. have i always to open the app to have all the modification that i've done? (gesture, colours, vibrations level...)

and another question, does d2tw, s2sleep and vibration at 75% drain battery?

thanks
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
No, you can set those to apply on boot without having the app open. Click the little circle icons next to your changed settings, they should turn blue.

No, wake gestures and lower vibration should not drain battery.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hbkekko:
thanks for the info about battery drain

i saw that as i reboot (even if i click on the little circle icon), colours are set by default and other options are set. as i open the app everything goes ok...

example, i turned on swipe to open camera when i flashed the kernel but now i turned off. if i don't open the app after rebooting, it's turned on (same for colours and vibrations)

edit: my mistake, after one minute it's ok even if i don't open the app. is it normal?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Yes it is, it takes a bit for the settings to be applied after startup but they will be applied
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Krunk83:

Very happy with this, my n6 would never have made it without a charge
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] NovaSlim:
Thank you and Merry Christmas!!!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] JokerAce:
So long as I use your app to grab the last boot log it would be right?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hbkekko:
what if i decide to change some kernel configuration instead of using the app?

for example, i'd like to turn off slide down 2 camera lunch as default...can i flash again the kernel or have i to do something in particular? (wipes or don't know...)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Yes.

You can reflash the Aroma installer to change your options or use the app still and just toggle the apply on boot option. You rarely need to wipe for kernel changes (practically never), just reflash the kernel.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] eggydrums:
Hey there [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION], seems these days it's all about compromise with this phone for me. The only app installed on my phone that requires Busybox is your kernel manager. And for some reason, Busybox is breaking WiFi calling. Any ideas? Thanks
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
I don't think you really need busybox for this device. I think i added the check for some older HTC devices. The nexus devices seem to include all the usual commands like cat and echo by default.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] eggydrums:
Really? Well now I'm confused... Your app asked me for Busybox when I first installed it. I'll try it again though. I need my WiFi calling as you may have noticed ?

Edit: it did it again. Should I just ignore it?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Yes, I've been ignoring the warning and it works fine.

Just click the "don't show again" check box.

I haven't removed the alert dialog yet because I haven't yet had a chance to look through the code for every command used, just to make sure. The application has a ton of code, it's like several apps in one.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Badger50:
Yes, ignore it. I don't use any form of busy box at all. EX and Layers work just fine wit SU 2.61 :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] eggydrums:
Thanks :) I don't doubt that at all, these sort of apps do a lot of stuff. I have both your app and Franco's and I don't regret buying either. It's the least us users can do to support your work!

Now I have to figure out what I changed in system because SafetyNet is giving me errors. I'm not using Pay because my bank isn't supported but it kind of annoys me anyway.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] twosix:
You need to unsu.zip first then flash 2.64.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] thefiverivers:
Just wanted to say thank you for your hard work. Using your kernel on my N6p, and it is running great one day in. Great battery life and stability, and I also purchased the kernel manager as well to compliment it.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] 341464:
How do I switch to other kernels if I no longer wanna use ElementalX? Dirty flash the system again and flash a new kernel is that good enough?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Badger50:
Dirty flash the rom. Then use the kernel you want.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Ritchiejoe:
Hows the battery life with this kernel and pure nexus? My battery has been much worse with 6.0.1 ..... hoping this may help
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] micmars:
The kernel is perfect...the usual routines are warranted...install Better Battery Stats, fully charge your phone, let your device sleep for 20 minutes, then use it for 10 (real interaction, not watching YouTube), repeat...after a few hours, see what your deep sleep and partial wakelocks show.

The rom you've referenced and the kernel are as good as ever, and many are seeing similar or better battery life, some worse. Irrespective, the above is the best first step.

If you are on stock, flash the stock boot.img. If you are on a custom ROM, dirty flash your ROM. After whichever step you choose, flash another kernel.

Normal yes (its a stock feature I believe ) , can you disable? maybe. Take a look in */system/etc/thermal-engine.config* play with settings in there .

Make a backup
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] daffie:
Cheers, appreciated. I'll leave it alone methinks...it's fine as I barely ever reach such low battery % anyway.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] thefiverivers:
As a data point, I just flashed PN and EX yesterday, and I had 4.5 hours of SOT over 17 hours of total usage before I went to bed with 20% battery left (from around 12pm yesterday to 5am this morning). This was with my usual routine, browsing, gmail, fenix, app store, youtube, texting, calls, etc.

The kernel is stellar, and I am pretty sure I could have gotten over 5 hours of SOT if not more. Again, your mileage may vary depending on what you do and how intensive your app usage is, but I am more happy with the 17+ hours of use than I am with the SOT. Having that much SOT is just a bonus!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Nekromantik:
Does this work with systemless root?

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] amirfk12:
To the complainers of battery life, there's so much you can do. I don't do all of the things like turn Wifi off and turn screen completely dim, etc, but today I have already 4.5 hours screen on time and I'm at 66% battery. I've cleared 9 hours SOT before and could probably easily break 10 or more.

I turned touch boost off, lowered cpu by one notch. Have greenify and doze settings installed.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Ritchiejoe:
Could you share your settings for the kernel etc? :fingers-crossed:

I'm not complaining..... I haven't tried this kernel yet, just looking for ways to improve battery life without compromising performance too much.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] thefiverivers:
Its all stock except I turned off all the swipe gestures and double tap gestures as well as vibrations when using those gestures. Everything else is default settings. When you install EX, it uses aroma installer and is very user friendly. It will walk you through all the available settings. I kept everything default and didnt turn on anything extra while disabling the aforementioned options.

And I was on wifi majority of the day yesterday, adaptive brightness on, dont use "ok google" voice detection, dont have any vibration settings on for calls or texts, and everything else pretty much stock. I am sure that staying on wifi all day probably contributed to my stellar SOT and total battery life.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] :
Flash your rom again and boot then flash whatever kernel you want.. Always check your system/etc/init.d folder if your going to be flashing various kernels... Delete whatever is left (if anything) is in that folder or it will mess with your settings and cause problems.

I love ElementalX! Its a little early still but happy new year everyone! 2016 is going this be great! [emoji2]

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Devhux:
It might have been Google Play Music. Seemed to be using a lot of battery use today.

Guess I'll throw my 2 cents worth in as well. Stock settings on EX kernel with Cata Rom, with no wifi usage at all!! Like the old saying goes..."If it ain't broke, don't fix it"!!! Great work Mr. Flar2. Although, I'm a little bummed out...I have no reason to flash anything else!! Oh well, I'll live :) :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Kappa Lamda:
I am completely overwhelmed... Cataclysm rom and Elemental kernel and you got 7h SOT on 1,5 day? Without any wifi? Should flash this kernel now.... Don't know your exact usage(apps, sync etc) but I imagine I will get very good results too.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Badger50:
I had sync disabled for 8 hours total because of 2, 4 hour road trips. Other than that, I did nothing special. Sent about 100 texts, listened to a little music, and lots of web browsing on xda. I have touch boost enabled, and never ran higher than 75% on screen brightness. I like the set it and forget it mentality. You won't be disappointed! :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Kappa Lamda:
Will give it a go for sure. When I'll go home at night I will flash it. I have already bought the app too, from my previous Pure Nexus setup.

I don't remember though. Is it compatible with systemless root? Cause now I have SuperSu 2.65.

Steps are

a) Flash kernel

b)re-flash SuperSU 2.65

c)wipe caches

right?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Badger50:
I'm running 2.64 so I can't imagine .65 would be any different. And since EX doesn't alter the ram disc, I always flash the kernel last. Flar2 recommends that you flash it over a stock kernel, so I do what he says! Then purchase his app if you want to show your support for his awesome work. Not to mention, that's where all the adjustments are :)

Oops...sorry. I didn't notice that you already have his app. My bad! :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Kappa Lamda:

I just don't know if I have to flash SuperSU again. I am already on Cataclysm with root.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Badger50:
If your on Cata stock kernel with root already, then just flash the kernel and you'll be fine.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] MrPhilo:
I can vouch for this, I can't see touchboost either on CM13 with EX
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
It's due to selinux and the alternative root that cm uses. The app isn't allowed to access the setting.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Ovrclck:
Are you using super or high quality? I'm having the same issue.

OHello everyone, I did search the forum for this querie of mine. I know someone else has asked before but it hasn't been answered. I noticed that the in call volume is very low after flashing this kernel. I use my phone primarily for phone calls and this is noticing straight away after coming from stock. To further clarify this, I installed chroma rom, made and received a few phone calls and they were as clear as on stock. I flashed elemental x 1.03 and bought the app and started noticing that the call quality is much lower. Can anyone help me pls.. As it's really hard to hear anyone and I would need to Blast the volume all the time. Again, is anyone else having this same issue?

Edit:

Hmm it's weird and now it seems like it's back to normal again.. Hmm. I think I am dreaming but I know someone has asked the same question back in November. If I am not the only one going through this, please do let me know. Thanks.

Is there any way to return to stock kernel once you flash this one?

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] gianton:
Either fastboot flash the stock boot.img or easier way flash in recovery the stock kernel (credit to [MENTION=3685904]ak[/MENTION] ).
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Badger50:
You can either dirty flash your rom again. Or if you had the Ex app installed before you flashed the kernel, you can back up your stock kernel and restore it from the app itself :)

Thank you both for the answer!!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] senthilrameshjv:
I am with Franco and would like to try out this rom. I've a backup of my stock boot. Is it enough to restore it before flashing ex or should I flash stock kernel. Do anyone have stock kernel zip?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] gianton:
As franco's kernel alters the ramdisk, you'd have to dirty flash your ROM again. Flashing just the stock kernel is not enough and most likely you'll end up on a bootloop.
