[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Steven6489:
Sorry for my noob question..

What is Touchboost? Should i "Start on boot" in EX Kernel Manager?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] gianton:
It should be enabled by default, it makes the UI smoother at a slight cost of battery life.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Steven6489:
Ok. Thanks for your simple explanation..
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sjknight413:
Is the default governor for both clusters supposed to be elementalx? For some reason I'm getting interactive as default!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lucius1972:
I noticed the same when first flashing elementalx. I set interactive for the big (cluster2) and elementalx for the little. Just testing.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sjknight413:
Ah so it is normal then :)

Is that the recommended setup, to have interactive for big and ex for little?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lucius1972:
No it's not the recommended setup, just testing as I wrote in my previous post. Feel free to experiment yourselves ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Az Biker:
Not sure what flar2 is putting in the mix, but it's working!

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] gianton:
I never managed to get that low awake screen off... must be my modem at home.. Can you share your setup?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Az Biker:
PN (latest), EX 1.08 default (Vomertweaks dynamic mode), WiFi/BT scan off, Greenify everything but SwiftKey, weather, performance monitor, sms go..

...from my NexsixP
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] gianton:
Thanks mate, I have a similar setup but never managed to get lower than 3-4% awake screen off. That's after changing my modem cause I have higher awake screen off times on all of my other devices. It gets me mad LOL. ;)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Az Biker:
I'm on the 2.15 radio which is better for many of us VZW users.

...from my NexsixP
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] gianton:
I thought WiFi is related to kernel only and not radio. Will give 2.15 radio a try too.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
I've had that a couple times, but usually I'm down 2 or 3 percent overnight. I think if you charge to 100% and then keep it plugged until the battery status reads "full" it will stick on 100% for an extra long time.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] gianton:
I always leave it for 15 mins extra time after it reaches 100%. I loose 2-3% overnight too even though I have 4+ awake screen off.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] jesssiii:
You using Greenify with Xposed or just the play version only?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Az Biker:
Just Greenify play version, xposed not really needed with PN in my case :)

...from my NexsixP
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] steveo17:
how can i tell which radio i am on?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Az Biker:
I charge to 100%, reboot, once reboot is completed,I unplug. Just my standard method when I test batt life.

Are these both on LTE only?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Mine was on wifi for 9 hours since last night until I left for work this morning. The rest is LTE, and all the SOT except about 20 minutes is on LTE. My idle drain is well over 1% per hour in my office building, the overall number is brought down by the low idle drain overnight on wifi.

The first part of that is from Chainfire's post here but the rest looks like it is added as fact where it is opinion.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] jjl468:
A quick search of the SuperSU thread revealed some freezing issues with ElementalX and SuperSU which have since been fixed, so that warning is likely irrelevant now.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] wietse1988:
How is it fixed? On the supersu side or elementalx side? I was checking supersu, and it indeed is freezing, running latest elemental and supersu 2.52

[MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION] i allready search chainfires post but this seems new beta not old (2.67 beta 57) for some reason latest changelog of chainfire was on late january :) anyway 2.65 SU working flawesly on me so no big deal .Not one in million to change this Combo of rom-kernel from anything in the world :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] cantsingh:
for me, doubletap2wake gets disabled every reboot. any way to make it persist?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Gumby63:
In ex kernel manager, you can press the power button to the right of the Dt2w option to have it set on boot. Otherwise you might be able to edit /data/data/elementalx.conf with a root file explorer.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] FuMMoD:
I'm a simple guy loll. All i did was tone down the red to 220 and it got rid of all the pink on my screen. Now I'm happy
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Of course, just flash the stock boot.img.

Battery life is identical on stock and EX. I have not changed anything that affects battery life. Using EX with default settings is exactly the same as using the stock kernel in terms of everything that can affect battery. I've measured both kernels systematically and found battery life to be exceptional on both.

Whatever differences you are seeing are due to some other factor.

Make sure you're using the latest version of the kernel, there was a bug in the stock code that wouldn't set it while the screen is off (if apply on boot happened while the screen was off)

There is also a possible problem in the installer script, which I am fixing now.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Update!!!

-installer does not touch /system partition at all

-fix problems with installer script

-enforcing/permissive is now optional. Permissive.zip is no longer needed if you uncheck "Enforcing" during installation.

Download

ElementalX-N6P-0.05

Changes:

-enforcing optional

-installer updates
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] baonguyen312:
The kernel and Ex app seem to be very buggy. The min CPU frequency just sticks at 1248MHz and can't be set to another value. I also installed the kernel with stock frequency in recovery, but after booted into Android, the app showed max frequency is 1500 and also can't be changed too. Is it just me or anything wrong?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tracerit:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

There's a call recording app that I use and to have one feature enabled it requests that the kernel have logger enabled. Does ElementalX have this?

I'm not able to check as I don't have a N6P to test on, but just curious.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
It's not buggy, this is perfd at work. I've explained it several times throughout the thread.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] SuperSmashedBro:
This is great, now I can use Viper4Android :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] DroidRC1:
Sorry if already explained but what's the difference between "enforcing" and "permissive"?

I find these display settings pretty good. Used apk Kcal.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] NovaSlim:
This refers to the status of SE Linux: https://source.android.com/devices/tech/security/selinux/

Certain apps(such as Viper4Android) only works with SE Linux set to permissive.

What app are you guys using for color control? I'm using the EX app and when I change values (saturation, value), it blows the colors way out. Everything look fluorescent. I'm running the latest kernel and app. Not sure what else to do.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] bought the app to show support. Thank you for your work and always love your kernels on previous devices!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] pokedroid:
Hey flar2, I know you're a busy man, but I've seen some opinions floating around that have me a bit worried and was hoping to get your opinion: long story short, is root safe at this point? I've read people saying until google releases more resources (i think one guy mentioned source, but I'm not sure why having that matters at this stage with a nexus device since we have factory images) that they are avoiding root, and I'm wondering how serious their concerns are. I miss root and would really like dt2w and the ability to alter. Color balance as others are experiencing.

If you or any others could clarify for me, I'd be most appreciative. Btw, bought your app, keep up the great work!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Kookitza:
dt2w work once after reboot, but after that - not anymore.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] xflowy:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] saw, that the latest update from ex kernel app brought some governor optimizations to 5x and 6p. is your elementalx kernel finally where u want it to be? :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
You can use ElementalX with any version of SuperSU and always could. This is one of those silly rumors/myths that needs to die now.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
I still recommend interactive.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] xflowy:
why?

+ what do u think of tripndroid io scheduler?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] troymz1:
I've been on SU 2.67 since it came out... Never had an issue with your kernel. Best kernel I've used. Best battery life. Ignore the rumours

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nadiros:
EXKM measures battery between reboots (CMIIW) so the screenshot is not misleading at all.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Nope, if the phone reboots, the statistics get reset.

[MENTION=2656752]ChronoReverse[/MENTION] that screenshot is from two charge cycles. I don't think he isn't trying to say he got ten hours of screen on time, he was more showing the percentage drain to show what your SOT could potentially be.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ChronoReverse:
Yeah, I was commenting because some people can get confused like nadiros did :D

The 11.59% per hour during screen-on and 0.96% per hour during screen-off are the useful numbers there (good numbers).
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Yes, those are the only numbers people should care about. Thats why i made the battey monitor. It measures the way i want it to for my testing. SOT is a horrible measure of battery life.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] dsmpampis:
That is why I uploaded the screenshot. I want to show the % per hour during screen on and the % per hour during screen off.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION], after installing 1.0.8 I later installed your kernel app and the gestures I set in aroma weren't active. IE s2w (up) and s2s both ways. Why would that be? I'll uninstall the app, then Reflash my rom and kernel then take a log.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
No need, I know that it works. I suspect you are not being patient enough after boot. Wait a minute or two and toggle your screen on and off before jumping to conclusions.also check the settings in the app.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] jesssiii:
I don't usually use the app and it was installed days after flashing the kernel. Just checked after Reflash and it's showing in the app as not active (no gestures).

And the gestures don't work.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Did you by chance install 1.08 on a fresh install at the same time as your ROM + GApps?

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] could this be along the same lines as the issue I had on the N6 with not being able to create the elementalx.conf file in /data/data?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] jesssiii:
Yes, as a matter of fact. And I just dirty flashed rom then kernel just now to get the log. First I reset the app settings.

---------- Post added at 15:25 ---------- Previous post was at 15:24 ----------

Could I add that file to data/data using root explorer?

---------- Post added at 15:39 ---------- Previous post was at 15:25 ----------

OK, I just reflashed the kennel separately and sure enough, the gestures work and they do show as set in the app.

I'll just have to remember to do the kernel separately from the PureNexus rom in the future.

Ah yes, sorry. The conf file can't be installed if you flash everything in one shot
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Mr Djoegoe:
I flashed this kernel earlier today and so far everything is good, I was wondering if it's possible to underclock one app/game.

Hey flar, great work with your kernel and I love your app. I don't know if it's possible but would it be possible to show the current profile in the app?

I'm still playing around with the different profiles but I always forget which one is applied. Would be handy to see which is the currently applied profile [emoji4]

Hey [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] is there anywhere I can get info on the HTCm9 profile? cant seem to find any but I was curious about it because I used to have an m9 and the battery life was amazing with your kernel. Thanks for your awesome work
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
HTC m9 profile contains the stock interactive and cpu-boost settings for the m9.

Keep in mind the m9 has a highly optimized and customized version of Android, different thermals, pnpmgr and a mysterious core control module, so it might not work the same on the 6P
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mrgoodpaul:

Is this active drain a bit high? My SOT isn't the greatest but I've never gotten above 4 hours SOT with this phone regardless of stock or rom.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] rebretz000:
I think it's good. Less than 1% while in sleep mode. About 12% while in use.

Take into account what apps you were using.

Games, Facebook, Twitter, whatever you crazy kids are using nowadays.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mattkroeder:
That's the thing. I don't think I use anything that's excessively battery draining. No facebook, games, twitter. The only app messenger I use is skype.

I consider my usage very light. Web browsing, calls, texts, Pocket casts for podcasts. I rarely listen to music or watch videos. I'm on wifi most of the time and my cell signal is great.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] steveo17:
my active battery drain never seems to be below 20%

WIFI On

Bluetooth Off

Location High Accuracy

Pushbullet Sync

GroupMe (suspecting a big battery drain)

Google (almost everything syncing)

Greenify everything except system apps

Amplify to the max which helps with idle drain

I am always in ****ty LTE areas i think though, despite having Verizon. My phone is always struggling for a connection i think
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
That's good. I'm very happy with 14-15% per hour. It all depends on what you are doing on the phone.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Az Biker:
Constant signal searching will terrorize your battery. I can certainly tell the difference in batt life when I'm in poor signal area vs having great signal. Try radio 2.15, it's better for me on VZW than 2.50 was.

What I'm hoping for is in the next version of Android Google can do something about this. I am never in a great signal area, always ok ? but mostly in the yellow and not green. Makes a big difference in overall battery drain. Wonder if this can be fixed on the OS side so it doesn't effect battery in bad signal areas.

I flashed this kernel on the latest pure nexus rom. When I'm using a 3 button headset(xaomi piston 3) and nothing is playing, when I press volume up it launches the google now app.

Hey guys, just wanted to make sure..

When I deselect apply on boot in EX Kernel Manager and I reboot, will it automatically revert back to the default kernel settings?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] senthilrameshjv:
I was using pure nexus, but today jumped to dirty unicorns with elemental x and my idle drain isn't good. Could be because it's the first cycle.. But wanted to know if it's the case.

Also for others who are getting less than 1% idle drain..

1. Do u use greenify? Auto hibernation? Aggressive doze?

2. Do u use xposed? Amplify? Smart radio (changes to 2g during screen off and wifi)?

3. Have wake gestures like ambient display, double tap to wake and sweep to sleep enabled?

4. Kernel stock settings or any scripts from sonicron?

With pure nexus, I had all the above enabled and my phone never dozed in wifi, while it did dozen Lte (thx to aggressive doze). So I removed all the battery savers.. Performance is great so far.. But don't know how the battery could be.
