I wish I had read ur msg earlier. I went ahead and restored my system and boot, as one of my recent modification made to fc nfc service while reboot.

Unfortunately it didn't cross Google Logo. Went back to recovery and flashed Franco r5.. I'll have to download any other rom before moving to EX

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] Would it be possible to include preset kernel settings for power saving and so on in the app? Just for those of us who aren't confident in meddling, or who've inadvertently messed something up... :thumbup:

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
I'm looking into it

If you think getting an extra twenty minutes of screen time is significant, then maybe. I've had this phone since it came out, and I've tried lots of different tweaks and I used franco's kernel for two full work days. I find the stock defaults give more than enough battery life for typical use.

I'm not willing to sacrifice stability or make changes to the scheduler or cpu drivers for these negligible gains. This phone is my daily driver and I've never even come close to running out of battery, even while traveling and being on LTE most of the time.

You can make your own custom tweaks with EXKM to optimize battery for your usage. The key is disabling touchboost.

Flash the stock boot.img.

You need to restore the original boot.img. If you are on stock, get the stock boot.img. If you are on a custom ROM, just reflash the ROM.

Then flash SuperSU if it's not already rooted.

Then flash EX

Already have that, click the leaf icon in the app. You can customize the powersave settings, have it turn on automatically on low battery, and there are homescreen widgets to toggle it.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] IberianPrince:
Not quite what I meant, but thanks anyway...
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Then what do you mean?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] IberianPrince:
Well, without wanting to sound critical, it's not easy to revert to a standard kernel setting if we've messed up somewhere. It would be really handy if there's a "standard" tab that would revert everything back to Elemental X flashed state. Or revert everything we've done to a flar2 recommended power saving state... A kind of noob friendly help zone in the app lol ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] bcote311:
You simply don't click "Apply on Boot", then reboot your phone...
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] IberianPrince:
I haven't seen any "apply on boot" options other than on colour settings. So that's not really helping...
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
The icon beside each setting is apply on boot.

To revert to stock, just don't click the apply on boot icon and reboot.

There is no good way for me to have a reset for most settings, as they are different on every device and also depend on your install options.

You can always go to settings and wipe app data if things get screwed up somehow

As for a powersave mode, if you click the leaf icon, it switches to powersave mode. If you click the leaf again, it goes back to the previous settings.

There is a also a performance mode. Both are customizable in the advanced settings.

I think people are not exploring the app enough. You can do almost anything with it (eg, any custom setting you want, which can be saved as a profile, and even shared with others)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] IberianPrince:
Ahhhh now that helps a lot. I did wonder what the icon meant, thanks for explaining :thumbup:
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] dy2592:
I want to say thank you for this. Thank you very much.

Since the audio from the headphone jack was so low on my Nexus 6P, I was looking at a few AMP/DACs to help out and had a few that I was testing. With the audio gains adjustment feature, I don't need it anymore. Sure it provided a cleaner sound, but to my ears it was hard to tell. Plus I don't have to connect all these things anymore when I want to listen to something.

As for the rest of the kernal features, whats a good balance of settings to turn on and adjust to? I'm pretty new to kernels. Thanks All!

Happy New Years!

The default settings on the aroma installer, plus sweep to wake (I like the sweep up option, as it is a gesture I'd not perform on screen unless I'm specifically intending to wake my device), and I'm good to go.

Best kernel + tuner combo on these forums, IMHO. I've never encountered a single reboot since installing this kernel.

It's that good.

And it's quite comforting to know that the dev uses this device, and supports his product as well as any dev on xda.

Does activating /deactivating the powersave/performance modes, remove any settings? I had Double Tap to Wake ENABLED previously. Then after reading this post, I opened your app (Very nice app BTW) checked out both presets, then exited your app, and lost DT2W...

Running PN, EleX, Nova's Dt2Lock screen (enabled), xposed not installed, pretty basic set up.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] alexandruvlad:
Hello

Installed this a few days ago and can't help but think of fine-tuning it to a greater extent.

Can someone post some verified / checked settings for either Performance / Battery Save Mode

I mean CPU / GPU setup / governor / and so on (fsync + all the other yaddas around the setup app)

Sorry if this has been discussed before!

Regards and lots of thanks
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] micmars:
I hate to sound like a broken record, but I really do only one thing...after flashing a rom update (I use a pre-rooted rom, so it's system root), I flash the kernel via the aroma installer, and after a few minutes of setup (get my themed apps back, viper4android, etc), I check EX Kernel Manager to make sure that the settings stuck...things like my color profile, sweep to wake, faux sound, etc. I make the read ahead buffer 1024 instead of 512, but other than that, it's default settings for me.

Set it and forget it.

As the dev indicates time and again, it's a stable kernel on a device that handles power management in a very sophisticated, dynamic way...not much tweaking is going to get you anywhere...and too much could yield stability issues.

It's a good kernel with terrific default settings.

Perhaps others may have a different take on this.

Happy holidays.

I've been using your kernel for most of the time I had the phone, and it's great! Thanks..

The app too - I got it for support but it's got a lotta functionality it's definitely worth taking a look at

Hey guys if I wanted to make scrolling more smoother what should I increase. Franco said increase input boost but where to find it in elemental app
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] skulldreamz:
Cpu > cpu boost options...
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hosmsdos:
Input boost millisecond is this it?

Franco kernel it was 500 and he said u can go 1500 for more buttery experience, in here its 40 do they use different values? What should I increase it to?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Do you have the stock touchboost enabled?

Just play with the values until you find what works for you.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hosmsdos:
Yes touchboost enabled. I did play with some values I just can't tell any differences. I changed input boost to 400 and 0.

No difference what so over, its like nothing is changing. I noticed when screen is on but idle one you start scroll it stutters then goes back to normal, that's why i am asking about input boost ms. Any advise if I want to boost performance a bit. Also in perf mode gov changes to ondemand is it really much faster than interactive?

Thanks
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] jackpollard:
I was a bit concerned with the battery life when I switched from my N6 to the N6P. I was rooted with custom rom/kernel on the N6 and I was getting outstanding battery, no issues. When I jumped to the 6P I was debating about leaving it 100% stock, but heck then I would have no reason to be on XDA. I unlocked and rooted, I use Pay a lot so I decided to keep it simple and just flash a kernel. My battery was just OK, I was squeaking through a normal day, but no more. I tried a few kernels and have to say since I flashed EX its been outstanding. I was so surprised last night when I still had double the battery left then I did with any other kernel. I did not change any settings, I wanted to let it settle in for a while. I bought EX tuner and it's an excellent and polished app.

Thanks a lot for sharing and developing this fantastic kernel!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hacksome:

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Wake gestures do not cause significant (if any at all) battery drain on this device.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
With touchboost enabled, you already have both clusters boosting when you touch the screen. If this is not enough to smooth things out, it could be specific to the app you're using or the webpage you're browsing. Or it could be due to memory pressures.

I don't know if ondemand is faster or not. I have not tested it. I just use everything at default settings and battery and performance are good

No

I don't know, I don't use bluetooth stuff

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sayboon:
Hi [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] read some comments you made earlier about looking into the N6P's aggressive thermal throttling and would like to know if you think it'll be possible at all to come to a point where it doesn't slows down drastically and intermittently gets punctuated with performance spikes? Speaking from a gaming perspective or any apps that requires the phone to fire up all its cylinders, the overall experience is left in stutters.

From my observation in testing Asphalt 8 through a couple of tweaks in the CPU settings, it was noted that the game performed better (more consistent frame rates) with just the low frequency cores performing most of the load and limit the high freq cores to just 384mhz while setting the GPU governor to 'performance'. I'm guessing this helped in keeping the temp a tad cooler and not getting throttled through every temp alert, I think it starts at 42C if I remember reading correctly from the 'thermal-engine.conf'. Not sure if this could be an architectural or programming issue as well that these 2 cores, low freq and high freq, cores aren't optimised in their interaction?

Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

I had some decent screen blur while using App Organizer and Fancy Weather (weather/clock skin search)..

Changed INPUT BOOST from 40 to 80, screen blur GONE!!!!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] chowhoundb:
I'm having the same issue. Bluesleep wakelock is keeping the phone awake a total of about 5 hours everyday. This is with a miband paired to use with smart lock, and notifications syncing to it. So the wakelocks may be warranted. I have heard others with android wear devices are experiencing similar behavior.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
This is one of the things I want to work on in the coming weeks. It's really a problem on the 5X, where charging while rebooting is enough to throttle it.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] dmarden:
No issues with blue anything here, for me... and I use Bluetooth plenty (and it is always enabled whether I am using it or not).
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Google is the one who needs to fix Bluetooth issues , people are having issues on completley stock devices .

+ This Kernel has no modifications to Bluetooth so your issue isn't this Kernel
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
No, except you could try underclocking.

As far as idle drain goes, there's not much room for improvement. I'm getting between 0.1 to 0.4% per hour. Even if that could be reduced (and I don't think it really can be), we're talking about gaining an extra 2 or 3% max over the course of a day, which is nothing.

Active drain will mostly be determined by the cpu governor. I haven't tuned the elementalx governor for this device yet. So far, I'm getting really good screen on time with stock interactive. So again, there might not be a huge amount of room for improvement.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] treIII:
Do you think underclocking will actually increase battery life with all of the thermal throttling this soc has? Just a question. By no means wanting to seen rude.

Anyone get the Double tap to wake to work?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
The main feature of franco's kernel is battery life, so of course he will say that. But there are limits. Like I said, despite the default min freq on the big cluster, and the touchboost, I'm getting really much better battery life on this phone than on my HTC m9, which has the same SOC.

The idle drain literally can't be lower than what I'm getting right now.

If I wasn't rebooting so much for development, I would be getting 6-7 hours SOT. So how much can it really be improved?

Of course I will try.

The touchboost can be disabled by typing "stop perfd" in adb shell as root (do it in shell instead of on your phone, or your min freqs will get stuck)

Red - 230

Green - 225

Blue - 256

Ive kept the rest the same :) My whites appear much whiter to me now :D
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Tung_meister:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] is there any way to adjust the colour calibration starting off with the sRGB mode as a base? every time I make an adjustment it loses sRGB or totally messes up the colours. I'd like to achieve sRGB with slightly more saturation.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] marcadam:
Great work, I've really missed your kernels after smashing my N6 and replacing it with a G4; I won't be doing that again. Anyone else getting random reboots? I installed over a factory image. All settings are default except for dt2w, and the only mod I've got is custom quick settings.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] shr33kant:
It's hard for me to put this into words without sounding like a douche but... The best analogy I can think of is Franco's kernels give improved battery life, that's true, but the experience on the phone feels like I'm giving up that smooth stock android feel and I'd rather give up the extra battery life for a good UX.

Some people will call me out and say the difference is negligible but I use a 144hz monitor most of the time; so these phones running at 60hz ALREADY look a tad janky to me :P.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] chubby65:
Yes just set it in aroma when setting up
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hltbest:
I installed over factory IMG too and I haven't had any reboots! I don't have dt2w selected and I used the stock settings for IQ squedule or whatever its called haha. I also haven't missed custom quick settings so maybe try without and see if it helps!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sarcoptic:
Working awesome so far...I noticed that FIOPS was supposed to the default setting for I/O however the install still set it at NOOP. I changed it through the configuration and things are still running great! Can't wait till you get your own governor all tweaked.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] alexandruvlad:
Hello & little question please :)

Anyone know where i can "set on boot" the App for the EX Kernel, please?

Example - if i set the governors on ElementalX ones (not the interactive default ones) - if i restart the phone, i lose these settings....why is that?

Question aside - does it provide a certain improvement to set the governors from their default setup?

Thanks a lot
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Touch boost raises the minimum frequency temporarily when you touch the screen so that the CPU can handle the input to the screen, making it a little more responsive but may impact battery life a little.

There is a little icon, looks like a circle with a line at the top, next to each setting. When you tap it, it spins and turns blue. That is the set on boot. I think interactive is the best for this device.

Happy new year everyone ! Just wanted to share my setup that I've been running for more than a week now and I get constantly a full day of battery with 5:30 - 6:00 of SOT !

Cataclysm + EX KERNEL. Didn't touch any Kernel frequency, only Touchboost is off and all others are default with S2W.

Location is on battery saving, Google Now is off, Facebook/FB Messenger on greenify, Vibration for Keyboard and Touch are off. And that's pretty much it. Brightness around 50 %. Phone Calls, Social Apps, Youtube, Videos, Music...

Im getting almost same results with Wifi or LTE, I believe is because I have almost a full signal whether home or at work or around the city.
