You have to have EXKM installed, through the app you'll get the prompt to update with the warning ONLY to update if you're on July and/or August patch.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Caltinpla:
Good to know ????
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] stokholm:
How do I download 1.20? It's not here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=45040

And does it work with the August security patch?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] siraltus:
It is a bug in the installer. I selected "deadline" but got FIOPS installed instead.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Mennpiko:
android-n-preview-5 code

https://android.googlesource.com/device/huawei/angler/+/android-n-preview-5
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Caltinpla:
For now, you need EXKM app to get your kernel updated to 1.20. And it works with both Jul and Aug security patches as mentioned a few pages back.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] 1112ee:
Finally
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Caltinpla:
Wow...another update, that was fast. Ty

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] soosoolhastam:
Could we know your settings flar?!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] akarol:
DT2W not working on latest with Aug for me.

---------- Post added at 03:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ----------

He didn't even use the phone. How can we gauge it from this?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] desireaftergod:
Does this mean that custom Roms for N are on the way?:cool:
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] vinokirk:
I have auto dimming off, but after installing this kernel, there is fine crazy auto dimming going on!

Is installing the paid app for this kernel the only way to disable it?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Shockz:
Should be an option in the aroma installer.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Can people please test various installer options?

I moved to a new installer and released updates for 6 devices last night, and it's hard to test every scenario.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] 1112ee:
Is the new installer only for marshmallow? I installed 3.04 and it looked like the same installer
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
It looks the same but the guts have changed. I had to apply settings differently due to changes in Nougat. I use the same installer for marshmallow and Nougat.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Sheetzie03:
Which app is that ? Thanks
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] JaZart:
Phone isn't sleeping and battery life isn't great. I'm using dark spice profile which has given me solid battery life before. The battery percentage for sleep and screen and the ex manager app seems to be broken. I checked wakelock detector and nothing jumps out, not sure what it could be tbh. Phone isn't sleeping at all though. Any suggestions?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] cmlohff:
Is anyone else getting a verification error when installing?

EDIT: using the express install option from within EXKM worked but I still have been unable to get the regular installer to get past zip verification when downloaded from within the app OR any of the mirrors.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] silvertrain78:
I've noticed this many times with EX Kernel Manager app. The percentages get WAY off, with impossibly inaccurate stats.. like 3.4%/hr active drain
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Caltinpla:
It's EXKM app with light theme setting.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Caltinpla:
I've been using PN rom with this kernel for sometime and they're paired perfectly imo. I also tried different profiles like you do but always going back to stock. Here is my settings and I have pretty good performance and battery life.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
If the phone isn't sleeping, it has absolutely nothing to do with the kernel.

As for the battery monitor, I find it extremely reliable. Running it on all my devices and checking it daily. Many people misinterpret the stats because I do them differently than the system stats or any other app. As i have explained before, the battery monitor in EXKM is the only way to get reliable and valid stats for measuring battery tweak effects.

There are a few things that can cause the battery monitor to get screwed up. Various apps and xposed tweaks can interfere with services, and this will mess up battery monitor. Anything that stops or limits services, or kills background apps and tasks, or interferes with screen on/off intents are potential culprits. These will screw up the battery monitor stats.

Under normal circumstances, the battery monitor will be very accurate. Most of my devices run for days or weeks without rebooting and it's fine.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] akarol:
Nobody else's DT2W not working? I can't get it to work at all on latest kernel and latest security update.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] emam damon:
Awesome kernel. My nexus 6p is running smoother than iPhone 6s.i have absolutely zero lag in any app. Thank you. Thank you sir very much .
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] qzilver:
I have the same issue. I also tried double tap to wake on the app store and it's still not working so I'm not sure if its because of the August security update that's causing this.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Caltinpla:
I'm running PN rom and it is disabled by default so I use EXKM app to enable it and it works fine.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] akarol:
Not working on stock rom. Weird.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] qzilver:
I'm running on Pure Nexus on latest update.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Something must have changed with stock dt2w.

FYI, I use stock dt2w if you don't enable s2w in at least one direction.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Papote3:
dt2w working fine on stock ROM, don't have enabled any s2w

Sent from my Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] xflowy:
is there a way to increase the temperature where the cores are deactivated/lowered in their frequencies? thanks.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tech_head:
Yes. /system/etc/thermal-engine.conf

I've added the file I use.

You need to remove the ".txt" extension and use a root browser to copy the file over.

I've reduced the throttling quite a bit. I can run benchmarks with ElementalX (kernel) installed and get 94K in Antutu

fsck is enabled.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] akarol:
I discovered the issue with DT2W. It won't work when enabling left and right S2S. If I switch to left or right S2S, then it functions again.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
I've installed it every which way and every setting always works.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Houge_Langley:
The best kernel I never used before.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Sheetzie03:
Why do you have those 4 wakelock settings on the last page disabled?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nicochoco03:
Very good update for August update ! Better battery stats for my nexus 6P ! :D thank's flar
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Caltinpla:
To save battery draining during sleep imo.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Sheetzie03:
I thought by having them enabled that's what indeed saves battery, but you are saying disabling them saves battery, im confused.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mitchdickson:
Disabling the setting disables the wakelock. An enabled wakelock is enabled. The other way around would be confusing.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] DeltaKepler:
Best kernel for my N6P and my N5X :) thx
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] kyzn:
What are the wakelocks for? I mean what apps use them?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mitchdickson:
Just Google them individually. I wouldn't worry about it if you aren't seeing the individual wakelocks in BBS.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tgl9705:
Link broken

The download link for ElementalX-N6P-1.21 is broken, can you fix it so i can try out this kernel?

best regards
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Toutatis_:
No issue at all here... here you go: ElementalX-N6P-1.21.zip
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] kyzn:
Not a problem for me then.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Caltinpla:
That what I thought but it appears leaving them disabled my phone going into deep sleep better.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] minhgi:
What is the kernel manager name. It looks awesome. Want to know when I can download it.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Toutatis_:
This is ElementalX Kernel Manager, you can purchase it on the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.exkernelmanager
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Caltinpla:
Yes, it's a paid version to support the Dev. There is a lot you can do with it and I love it.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] minhgi:
Thanks... Got elementalx installed but didn't realize a manager existed.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lord. Tech:
Can't increase max cpu for big cluster and governor shows as NA no matter what profile I select, I was just loading different profiles while this happened, dirty flashed kernel twice then after, same result :/
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ariefabuzaky:
Calm down your device
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Charge your phone. The big cluster will offline with low battery and high heat (after a reboot or TWRP flash/nandroid).

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Caltinpla:
Recent news about the quadrooter flaws so I scanned my phone and found this. Should I be worried about this?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lord. Tech:
it happened a few days ago and i guess u were right buddy, battery charged to 25 and all cores are on. and it auto increased max cpu to 1500.. also is this normal behavior? i never noticed this n have been using ex for over a year :/ since i noticed this i think my sot has also not been more than 4 hours since last 3-4 days, could it be related?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
No.

Unless you install untrustworthy apps. Definitely never install apps from outside the play store. Especially cracked and pirated apps -- as I keep warning those who are pirating my apps ( I know you're out there:p).

Also don't click on strange links or download unknown files.

Security should be taken very seriously, but remember, there are a lot out there that can make a lot of money by scaring you. Just be sensible.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Absolutely normal. Qualcomm's Snapdragon 808 (5X) and 810 (6P) are extremely finicky and were not well received last year due to overheating issues. Many people didn't notice this initially, yourself included, if you live in an area that experiences winter. The cooler climate helps keeps the phone's temperature lower. Once spring or summer set in, people became more aware of just how quickly the big clusters offline lol its been an issue the whole time. During winter, you would have only noticed offline clusters below 25% or after flashing a file/backing up in TWRP.

It's more likely something else is wearing down your battery unless you've been throttled a lot because of the heat.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Caltinpla:
Thanks. I'll keep that in mind, so hopefully Google going to patch them sooner than their regular monthly update.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
I doubt it. There are vulnerabilities like this all the time. That's why they moved to the monthly updates.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Lord. Tech:
damn, that was informative lol, thanks mate! yes i think ive really noticed it these past few hot weeks, i guess the winters cloaked it well... now im kinda bummed we didnt get the stupid 820 instead of 810 -.- it is such a legitimate first world problem :p:laugh:
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Alfa_G:
Can high brightness mode switch on automatically in direct sunlight?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] colinmcg71:
Yes, flar's High Brightness Mode widget can do this.

Add the widget to one of your screens, double tap it for auto high-brightness.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hy565:
I'm on 1.21 and experiencing a bug whereby sweep to wake settings are not saved. I've tried a few times, choosing sweept up/down to wake,making sure to turn on the "set on boot" option. Before I restart, the wake gestures work. Once I restart the phone though, the wake gestures no longer work. Going into the EX Kernel Manager, I see that Sweep2wake is disabled, yet the set on boot toggle is still on.

Anyone else having the same issue? On PureNexus ROM btw.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] microcox:
About that widget: does it provide significant benefits over franco's own fkupdater app? FK auto high brightness is Ok but not very reactive when light conditions change.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] colinmcg71:
It reacts very quickly when outdoors in sunshine. Not sure if it's any better than Franco's app though, haven't used that for ages.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sherlock5545:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] Is there a way to disable wlan wakelocks without root? The Aroma installer doesn't come with the option.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] xflowy:
thanks mate. so i need to replace my thermal.conf with your file right? and then, do i need to apply "msm thermal" in ex manager app or keep the "core control"?

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] u once said, you have no idea what those two thermal drivers named above do. is this still so? i read in the ctt mod thread here, that, if you want to take changes on the thermal.conf file, which is rom related, to take effect, that you have to choose "msm thermal". though, "core control" is set default with your app/kernel.

is there really nothing to do (kernel sides) which can reduce the throttling?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
No, you can't really do anything kernel-wise without root. I'm trying to think of some solution for the future.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tech_head:
You only need replace the file and change the permissions to -rw-r--r--.

Then reboot.

No other changes needed.

I also have mine overclocked in ElementalX to allow maximum frequency for both cluster.

No problems since ElementalX came out.

YMMV
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] veskostoev:
Hi sorry for the question i am new with this device I'd like to install the kernel and the app now i use Franco kernel and Pure nexus rom latest. If i understand right unzip the Pure rom and flash Boot.img first will revert the stock kernel and then to flash the new kernel. Thank you.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] kyzn:
You can flash any custom kernel on the stock or ROM kernel. You never flash a custom kernel over another custom kernel.

Just flash Pure Nexus and then flash ElementalX over that. If you want to try another ROM, unzip Pure Nexus, take the boot.img and then fastboot flash that. Alternatively, you can dirty flash the ROM again to remove ElementalX.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] veskostoev:
Thank you for the fast answer i forgot to write i use Franco kernel just edit my post so i dirty flash the rom to remove Franco kernel and flash the new kernel. Sorry
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Tomv5314:
Where can I find the high brightness widget. I can not find it . Thanks
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] colinmcg71:
On the play store :)

Edit: paid app link removed, sorry.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] kyzn:
Yes, that is correct.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sm4tik:
You can also flash the boot.img with TWRP, no need for fastboot or dirty flashing the whole rom that way :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] wooddale:
When you flash a boot image in twrp do you need to flash su?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] NovaSlim:
You are experience wakelocks, check it with Better Battery Stats/Wakelock detector to figure out what's(Partial wakelocks) keeping your phone awake at night

---------- Post added at 01:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 PM ----------

5-6% per hout is defintely some partial wake lock from apps, my deep sleep drain is more in the 0.3-0.5%/ hour level with Wake gestures

Rom/Kernel version? Did you leave enforcing checked? I just installed 0.06 from app yesterday had encountered no bootloop.

Also, all kernel related bug report without uploading sys/fs/pstore folder is useless to the dev as he won't be able to reproduce your bug.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] bajasur:
I was coming from stock PureNexus with permissive selinux, I know it's my bad because it just happened with the zip too
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] heleos:
Are you on WiFi overnight? I noticed that I get more drain connected to my 5ghz WiFi than just leaving it on LTE. I thought I read somewhere that there was a bug with frequency band set to auto, but I could be making things up
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Franzie3:
be interested to know about this and if you have anything related on it.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] beats4x:
I'm running 12xx on the little cores, 15xx on the larger ones and in hexacore mode. Battery life has been phenomenal and performance hasn't taken a hit. I don't play games on my device however, which is where I'd assume you'd notice the performance decrease
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Simer03:
Yes! I am thinking the same thing because honestly, I've noticed I get better battery life on LTE only lol! I'll post a picture of my stats so far
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Simer03:
Here's so far today on LTE only. Including downloading Inside Out with LTE in popcorn time app
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Scottland:
Like this?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
On the first install, the express version gives default settings. Enforcing is default, so that's why it wuoldn't boot.

Once you install with the aroma installer and choose your options, you can use the express version no problem. So next time, you can use the express install.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
It would be better to choose the lower frequency in the installer.

There is just so much stuff trying to influence cpu frequencies in userspace, it might not stick by setting it in the app.

A lot of people run 1248 first cluster on the m9, and see no loss of performance, even for gaming.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Mine's connected to 5GHz wifi 24/7. It could be specific routers if there is drain from wifi. For me, it's good.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Scottland:
Thanks, I will reapply with installer
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] beats4x:
Yes, that's my setup exactly

And [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] is absolutely correct, choose these in the installer, not the app.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Metallice:
Hey [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] any chance you know whether the battery life dependant throttling is part of the kernel or the OS? Basically at some battery percentage the 6P becomes more and more likely to turn off A57 cores. Under 20% I see the 810 occasionally be limited to 2 A57 cores, under 15% I see them all shut off at times, and under 10% all the A57 cores are turned off no matter what. Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] RidgeBoyGenius:
Awesome kernel, awesome app, exactly what i wanted and more. Well worth the 4$, thank you sir.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Roxy:
Whoa ~ this kernel ( and app ) is awesome. Well worth the $3.99. Thank you so much! I will send you a donation when I get my paycheck. :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] jinx10000:
I noticed the stats in the battery monitor app in EXKM get a little crazy if you reset stats and reboot. At least on my setup. For example, time on battery = 402075:05:58. Not a big deal to me. Just pointing it out.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] zgroten:
So Greenify vs Naptime what's your opinion on which to use and what settings for someone who works in an office?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] gqukyo:
I'm curious as to what settings we can use for someone who does move around with their phone in their pocket cuz that's me. Lol.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] turbo1781:
Yes
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mitchdickson:
Depends if you want root.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sm4tik:
Well.. yes and no ;) AFAIK for a systemless root yes, and if the rom you're using already has su installed, then no.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Az Biker:
+1

Worth every cent!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] resynx:
Agreed, best kernel app around.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] xxBrun0xx:
Yes. Only kernel manager to natively support loading advance interactive governors without having to mess with the settings yourself. Was worth every penny. 10/10 would buy again. Makes my 6p run cooler, smoother, and I get better battery.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] oldman_58:
If the "boot" image is changed the SU zip would need to be applied since SU make changes to boot image and Ramdisk, unless I am missing something.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nsmal24:
Mods remove please.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Sheetzie03:
Can you please post your kernel settings?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sm4tik:
Since I've not had the need for systemless root, I can only assume from what I've read that what you're describing is just that. However, after flashing ex over the stock DU kernel numerous times, I've never had to reflash su and it's still there as I write.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Do not flash SuperSU after the kernel. You should install SuperSU first, then elementalx. All SuperSU changes are kept.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] xxBrun0xx:
Currently running Saber (used to run Ghostpepper, but little CPU seems to jump around a LOT on N preview 5).

Little: 384-1555 MHz

Big: 633-1824 MHz.

Touchboost Disabled

msm_thermal: Enabled

core_control: Disabled

(^b/c running CTT-thermal mod)

This seems to be working well for me. If anyone has any suggestions, would love to hear them! Don't do much 3d gaming, mostly looking for no stuttering and good battery life.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] jochoa88:
Where did you find the saber profile?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TransportedMan:
[MENTION=298610]Flar[/MENTION]

From what I could tell from the OP, this is a complete stock kernel? You simply made it so that we can change and adjust virtually anything, correct? There's nothing extra special in it like certain optimizations, patches, improvements, etc?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] kyzn:
Here.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] jochoa88:
I am assuming it's a lot easier to download from a desktop? Trying to download through mobile chrome and all it does is open a separate page showing the text scripts ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] kyzn:
Don't tap the link. Hold down and "Save Link". Unless you are using XDA Labs, then tap away.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] jochoa88:
Awesome, thank you!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] drbveb88:
Does this work with all kernels or only Elemental
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] kyzn:
Any kernel. I've used it for ElementalX, Kylo, Unofficial AK and Ninja.
