With the new TWRP 3.2.0-0?

*** Mayday@Nexus 6P ***

Not just bought the EX Kernel Manager app when I picked up my 6P (also bought the same but deleted app - good old days with Nexus 5), but now I bought the High Brightness Mode Widget.

More support for one of the greatest developers!

Keep it up [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] !

I didn't even think about it that way. Great suggestion, thx.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] zgigi666999:
is there any place to see the optomized settings for elemental x i purchase the kernel app from the play store.

Thanks
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Az Biker:
I don't believe there is a place to see what each configuration has changed. You can look through the cpu freqs, and gov settings to see the changes, but I don't think there is a centralized window or box that shows the changes for each mode.

Just choose PERFORMANCE or POWERSAVE and know that they are doing their job :D
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] bobbarker2:
Yep I get it. Dunno what was causing msm to toggle cpus on/off in rapid succession then bootanim service is started out of blue on two different ROMs. Guess I won't find out unless I do more debugging than I care to atm.

Hello all. I know it is still early.... Any kernel changes with the new N preview that dropped today?!

Edit: I dont think new N version boots with 3.00 Kernel version of EX..... I am double checking now.

Confirmed: Newest N version does not work with EX 3.00. There must be some significant kernel changes.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] betovanbuuren:
Hope there will be a new version to try it out with the new n release

Are people getting better battery using GhostPepper or Heimdall v4?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mobileman88:
It all depends on your usage patterns and also mobile reception in your area. why don't you use each for 3-4 days and compare? It'd be more accurate than what anyone here would propose you to do.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Barsky:
Seriously, this is the best and most appropriate answer to 30% of all posts on xda. Specifically this portion "why don't you use each for 3-4 days and compare? " :)

So true.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] elreydenj:
Newest N preview is very smooth compared to previous builds. EX Kernel will be the last piece to having a perfect N experience.

Heat generated from electronic isn't new, and combined the environmental factors and circuitry design, heat usually it isn't a problem unless for folks that are into over clocking or for personal preference factors.

There is a product call bn6 thermal conductive coating, coating is dielectric and chemically inert. It is used to improve heat dissipation. Check it out if your curious. I had an opportunity to get a hold of one when I was in Asia but don't believe it's available here in north America yet.

Hi all,

Could anybody pls tell me about the inbuilt governer profiles in EX kernel manager app ( like butterfly, ghostpepper,etc)

Thanks mate
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] gauravahluwalia:
Noob question.

Do I have to flash to factory images if I am moving from kylo to elementalX? it says not to flash over other custom kernels. Any way I can flash without losing data?

Also, how's the battery life generally with the latest update and elementalX?

I was on December update and skipped till April update (running elementalX1.08) and was getting SoT of 4:30-5 hours within 25-26 hours (on ghostpepper profile. ambient, google now & tap on. Mostly chrome, twitter, reddit). Now after the update and giving kylo aosp a go, I am hardly getting 3:30 hours of SoT within 18-20 hours under the same usage (tried ghostpepper and darkspice both).
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Scottay5150:
On Pure Nexus 4.7.16 clean flash, big processor maximum clock speed throttles down and I cannot reset max speed by clicking on a faster speed. It momentarily sets higher then goes back to 960. Why?

Sent from the UnderWorld via Nexus 6P ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Most likely thermal throttling. Don't try to change the frequencies, it just messes more stuff up.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] slayp00n:
For newest N Preview, has anyone even gotten TWRP to work?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nadiros:
OT, but ya everything works. I'm unencrypted though
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] steviemch:
Yeah latest 3.0.2-0 works without a hitch, I simply didn't fastboot flash the recovery img. when updating.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Az Biker:
You should be good dirty flashing your rom, then flash EX 1.16...

Off-topic but any plans to get the HTC 10? I've been convinced by the warrantied unlockable bootloader and included adoptable storage.

Would love ElementalX when I migrate.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
I've already ordered the HTC 10.

I said I was done with HTC, but after some investigation of other brands, HTC, Moto and OnePlus seem to be the only viable options for a developer. I like to get a new phone in the Spring and HTC is the only one of them releasing a new phone this Spring.

I think the HTC 10 will be a monster, and will have some solid development.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ChronoReverse:
This is wonderful news!

I too had said I was done with HTC but they seem to have fired all the crazies responsible for the M8 and M9. They've really built the phone I wanted this time (the GS7 was warming to be it until the locked bootloader news).
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Yeah, S7 is a nice phone but development for Samsung is all but dead. Locked bootloaders, lack of kernel source and completely different chipsets for US and international markets.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] slayp00n:
so i flashed .02 and it didnt work, i put .00 and it works... Weird
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] steveo17:
so on this note. what steps do i have to do to flash N on my 6P? also will i lose userdata?

(sorry for the dumb question)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] steviemch:
You have a few options, which depends on your current setup. If you're running a custom ROM, fast boot flashing the N factory img is the best way to go IMO. If you're entirely stock, you can enrol in the ota programme or sideload the zip file Google are providing now. There's plenty of documentation, both on these 6p forums in xda and online for all the options.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] steveo17:
thanks. i'm running stock with this kernel, root, and xposed. i have no problem flashing via fastboot though it seems that the ota zip is the even easier option now? should i be concerned about wiping my data by sideloading the OTA?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Bypassing the lock screen is tough, it has to be done in user space (I.e. the wake gestures app). But even then, Android doesn't allow it. Maybe if I make it a system app it could work.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Start on the bottom half of the screen. Once you know how to swipe, you'll never miss.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TrainNanpaMaster:
Flar - I love your kernel. It's such great work. Probably the best kernel for the next to 6P right now.

Just had a small request if you don't mind. If there's any way you could implement f2fs capability within the kernel. The Nexus 6 p is an absolute beast, but it would be absolutely insane if the ball blasting fluidity of f2fs was implemented.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sacredsoul:
Quick question... Do I have to use AROMA? Can I just dump the zip in internal storage and flash as per normal from recovery? Been away from the Android scene a while. Never used AROMA.

Edit : Please ignore. I finally found out how AROMA works. It's already built in.

Edit 2 : What's the process for systemless root since that requires flashing a kernel as well? Flash that kernel to get root and then ElementalX?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] dark11b:
Quick question. Anyone having any issues with the new kernel? As soon as I install it I get like static when I'm listening to anything with a headphones plugged in. Anyone having this issue? Thanks.

EDIT: reinstall fixed the issue.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nrage23:
The answer to edit 2 is yes
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] emanoj.i9103:
Thanks for the individual channel gain for headphones. Used poweramp so far to control it. Now being system wide, can use for mx player, YouTube and what not. I look forward to updated app to try out these. Cheers!

I think a lot of people are trying to calibrate their displays before the adhesive is done curing.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] dipole:
what exactly is fauxsound? Does it just make the phone louder?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Louder or quieter. Might be slightly higher quality if the headphone gain is a bit lower.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
I still can't get over the battery on this thing.

Last night was another night with 0% battery drain.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] FuMMoD:
I feel you on that. My phone feels immortal. I can actually forget about charging it overnight and be up and running with only 1% loss.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sacredsoul:
Any specific settings you guys use for such battery life?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
No, just defaults. Stock ROM, no tweaks or mods except root and EX.

Idle drain doesn't really depend on settings. Other than doze mode, which seems to be working really well.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] markwebb:
Is this truly the issue? Have mine for two weeks now and no change. I think this falls into the category of urban myth. A replacement is on the way for me.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] exxpired:
I would only use it for making headphones louder as the phone is loud enough, but pretty much yeah
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] dangerdan:
Thank you for adding sound support right after I asked about it! lol great kernel
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] byproxy:
another request for a quick pin unlock option.

also, on the new volume adjustment screen (unlike the color adjustment screen) there's no refresh button so one can restore defaults.

loving the upgrades. thanks!!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] dangerdan:
Is there a way to make this value even higher than 20? Mine still seems awfully low even though this helped a little.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] steviemch:
The ota zip is definitely an easy option, but you'd obviously want to return completely to stock, which means flashing your current stock system, recovery and boot img and ensuring all traces of xposed and supersu are gone before you sideload. You shouldn't lose any data with this method. If you want to use the latest twrp on N to root and mod you'd need to flash a modified boot img and decrypt your device.

The link below has instructions and info on sideloading the zip file, if it's any help.

If you have root, you can try Flashfire app to install the OTA zip. IMO, starting for scratch has worked best for me, at least.

Hi all! Can I flash Elemental X over UnicornBlood that comes stock with DirtyUnicorns ROM without any problems? Thanks for the info! :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] drmspidi:
Getting 3% off with screen off. Have to try another one
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Yeah that's not a kernel problem, that's a rogue app problem. I've use this on stock, Pure Nexus, and Dirty Unicorns; never had anything more than 1.5%/hr with screen off. A kernel will almost never contribute that much drain to a device.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sjandroiddeveloper:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] is this normal

Ok so I have set ghostpepper profile for CPU and enabled apply on boot. Now whenever I reboot the device all of the four big cores are offline ( this results in some lag) and they come online after 2-3 minutes. Also while the cores are offline I can't set the max and min CPI freq in ex app ( it just shows NA in place of the usual freq.)

Thanks

Does anyone have 3.00 working 100% on N Preview 2? Anything I've tried, clean flash or dirty, the camera force closes and the accelerometer won't work. There are reports that 4.01 works just fine on preview 2 for the Nexus 6.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Doodsz:
Thinking of trying out one of these profiles,

How do I go back to the one that came with elementalx if I don't like one of these?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sherlock5545:
You can simply toggle off the "Apply on boot" option. However, I believe "Stock" in that list is what you are looking for. Either way should work.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Doodsz:
Ah thanks. I was thinking the stock option was the stock stock if you get me. Lol
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sherlock5545:
Yeah, well, if you want to be sure, the first suggestion still stands. If you don't set the Apply on Boot option, simply rebooting will revert your settings to the original ones :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Shockz:
AFAIK EX doesn't actually change anything so stock is the same as default EX.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
That's correct
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] xflowy:
Can u explain me, in addition to that, what the third "boost option" is? it can be found in the cpu boost section on the first place and is called boost milliseconds. what does it do? and how does it differ from input boost ms and touchboost? if i want to make my ui expierence

smoother

, would u recommend setting boost milliseconds from 0 to the same value as input boost ms (meaning: 40).

thanks man!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] elreydenj:
Good afternoon Flar and thank you once again for the best kernel on the 6P hands down. I started a bit of conversation about this on the Nexus 6 EX forum. Will there be any updates for the N kernel to allow it to work with Dev Preview 2 on Angler? I just did some testing with Despair's newest kernel revisions and the two prominent issues with the 3.00 EX version are resolved on his.... Both camera and the accelerometer function as they should. The issue of camera and accelerometer is present whether i clean flash or not on EX 3.00. They did not work properly on the R 12 versions of Despair's kernel on N Preview 2 either, but whatever he has done in R 14 has done the trick. Just curious as to how you see the next month or so for us who enjoy using the N Preview and EX Kernel? Thank you for your time.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hinxnz:
Normally I see boost_ms set to 20 and this is the minimal time cpu boosts for, input_boost_ms is the maximum time boosted.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] xflowy:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] can u confirm?

If you are on TWRP the easiest way to flash N Preview 2 without losing root and TWRP are this steps:

1. Using fastboot mode

2. Flash bootloader, then reboot bootloader

3. Flash modem, reboot bootloader

4. Flash system

5. Flash vendor

6. Flash modified boot.img so your device is not force encrypted

7. Reboot and profit
