Why in the EX kernel manager app, if I set my screen colour settings to a preloaded one and check 'apply on boot', why does it never apply on boot? It resets to the original values.

---------- Post added at 04:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 PM ----------

It is almost comparable to the max brightness on the note 5, just a tad less
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Badger50:
After you apply your settings, do not set on reboot. Then go ahead and reboot, then go back in to the color settings and then check off set at boot. Then your settings should stick :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] GCbard:
Thanks. Any idea what the numbers are in terms of nits?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Badger50:
Nits with full brightness without adaptive display are 356. With Max brightness on, around 380. At least that's what the internet has to say about it :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] GCbard:
I got that. Just wanted to know the nits value for high brightness mode. Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
Eh, delete just cause :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
I don't know the nits, but high brightness mode is very bright. probably 20% brighter than highest stock brightness.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] GCbard:
Thank you for the response!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hockeyman12c:
Anyone having issues with brightness after the last update? I'm having issues where the brightness goes to about 0 and then stays there during use.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
No, and there weren't any changes to brightness in the most recent update
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hockeyman12c:
OK must be something else. I installed the update this morning and it was happening for a few hours. Not happening right now.

Hi,

Would like to double confirm, can I flash ElementalX over the kernel that came with CUSTOM ROM?

Currently i'm using stock ROM with ElementalX..I need to flash custom rom first then flash ElementalX again right?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Badger50:
Flash rom.

Su if you need too.

Flash Ex.

And check to see if your rom is enforcing or permissive before installing Ex so you set the kernel correctly :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Steven6489:
Ok. Thanks. Will try Pure Nexus ROM..
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Just a heads up, with Pure Nexus, you just need to flash EX. Don't bother with UnSU and SuperSU unless you absolutely need it.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Steven6489:
Ok. You mean that i dont need to install SuperSU?

Seems like audio won't play.. You the videos keep pausing right after I hit play.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mko000:
Not a kernel issue.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Upstreammiami:
Think so.. I reflash it with the stock settings and now it works
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] baronmax:
What version of the kernel should I flash if I'm still on MMB29M (1.04?)? Also, in the OP, it says "do not flash over custom kernel" in bright red letters, which suggests that it's a pretty important warning, but I flashed the Pure Nexus (PN) ROM, which also flashes its own kernel, so do I need to figure out a way to get back to stock in order to flash EX? Or am I safe to flash EX over the PN kernel?

I wish PN would just adopt your kernel, that would make life easier. This is clearly the best kernel out there for the 6P, it should be "stock" with all new ROMs.

Also, I just purchased your app, hopefully that helps you out a bit. I know you're probably doing this stuff in your spare time. :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Sorry, but that really isn't kernel related.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
1. 1.05 is compatible with MMB29M.

2. He means only flash over the kernel that comes with your ROM, not another custom one. So just flash EX over PN and you will be fine.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] baronmax:
Is it okay to flash it with the EX app? Or should I do it the old fashioned way?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Upstreammiami:
I guess I got lucky lol... Btw when I change the audio in the app I don't notice any difference
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Thanks!

You can just flash elementalx. Nothing else required. The warning is not to flash over another custom kernel like FK or lean.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Yeah you can flash it with the EX app, that is what I do. Either option works (express or custom).
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Through the app

Skip to the next track and you will hear the changes

wth 8 hrs SOT?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] italia0101:
No this is just showing my averages after 3 days or so.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
With the EXKM Battery Monitor, the interesting stats are %/hour for screen-on and screen-off

As you can see, the stats are cumulative. He's used 140% battery during the 9 hours of screen time. The phone was charging for 4h16m and he was on battery for nearly 80 hours.

I get very similar stats.

The reason I do it this way is because percent per hour drain is the best indicator for measuring battery life and measuring changes in battery life. There needs to be separate stats for screen-on and screen-off. Other battery apps give you a mix of screen-on and screen-off, which is pretty much useless.

This is the feature of EXKM that I use the most. It allows you do to much more robust testing of governors and tweaks. Not sure how many know this, but if you click the 3-dot overflow menu and click "Add shortcut," you will get a launcher icon your desktop so you can access the battery monitor directly.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Az Biker:
Great kernel flar2!

With PN, default ElX kernel settings, Greenify, and 60-70% brightness, I'm getting 5+ hrs sot regularly.

More than enough to make it through the work day!

What % of drain per hour do you consider very good batt drain?

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Stephenparrigin:
So before my Nexus 6P I came from a Galaxy S5 (huge difference) one feature I miss is the ability to increase touch sensitivity and being able to use a pencil as a stylus for convince. Is there any way to get this feature through tweaking the kernel?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
I don't believe so since that is something that happens at the hardware level (the Samsung touchscreen/digitizer is built with that feature in mind)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] jackpollard:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] I learn something new every day with the kernel and the EXKM! Thanks for 2 exceptional products, my 6P has been about perfect, significantly better then stock, especially related to battery. I've been playing with the various tweaks for the kernel, your stock settings were exceptional, but its always fun to play around with the settings.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
I think 15-16% per hour is excellent. That's in the ballpark of 6 hours SOT, which is totally sufficient for a normal day. Obviously a lot depends on what apps you use. I use Chrome mostly, plue Google+, texting, Gmail and random stuff like file explorer, SSH and terminal.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Stephenparrigin:
Dang it, alright thanks. Still not enough for me to EVER go back though. Haha
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] JokerAce:
Thanks for clarifying. At best of 20% left, I get only probably 4hrs 20 mins SOT. I am curious why some people can go beyond 5 hours. I have Amplify, Greenify to control wakelocks and apps. Managed a bunch of apps from accessing location etc. Still, that's the farthest I could go.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
It all depends on how you use your phone. Also, I don't do any tweaks at all (other then EX kernel) and have always had exceptional battery life on this phone.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Something a lot of people don't talk in battery life discussions is cell signal. If you go into battery stats and see one of these two things (probably both), you are having consistent drain due to your cellular radio constantly working: 1. Cellular standby is high up on the list and 2. The color graph constantly shifting between colors. I have my wakelocks under control and don't have my brightness very high but because my cell signal fluctuates so much, I rarely achieve high SOT, but my phone still lasts me through a day. That is why SOT vary so much, there are so many factors that come into play. Don't compare your SOT time to others since their usage and environment is completely different from your own.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Az Biker:
Last night I had 13% remaining with 5hr 3 min sot.

Latest PN

Domination layer

ElX default (1024 read ahead)

Greenify

Display @ about 60%

Mix wifi/lte

Lots of Internet, games, some texting, and basic daily use

Not sure if it's myth or fact, a few years ago I read that an abundance of individual widgets causes additional batt drain, so I have minimal widgets/icons.

My batt rarely goes below 10% and I don't charge overnight, but remove charger as soon as it hits 100%.

I rarely get less than 5 hrs sot.

NexsixP
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Games or anything with a graphics will use a bit extra battery, so will doing a lot of typing, or using a lot of network data. Widgets won't cause drain per se, it depends what the widgets are doing. LTE can cause an extra 1% per hour, or more if you have poor signal.

I have been having some troubles with random reboots while listening to music. I am not entirely sure it related to this kernel or not but it didn't seem to happen when I was running the stock kernel.

ROM: Chroma

Kernel: ElementalX

Mods: Viper4Android, Xposed, Adaway

I am attaching my last_kmsg.txt to see if anyone can help.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Mikulec:
Exactly, the only downside to sweep to wake is that simetimes I accidentaly turn on the phone when I am moving the phone (from pocket to table, ...) and touching the screen with my finger.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
I've never had a reboot, ever, on this device, even while developing features. With a default install of ElementalX, all the important stuff in the kernel is just like stock and it is completely stable. If you are overclocking, don't. And secondly, I would remove Xposed. This reboot had to do with memory issues and would happen regardless of the kernel.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Chochiwpg:
Is there anything I can configure on the kernel side which will help with notifications? I turn my phone to do not disturb everyday while at work and my phone stays idle on my desk.

Hey, love the kernel. One question though about the battery stats - the Screen on time is always more then what's reporting under Android stats and GSAM/BBS also? e.g EX kernel shows 58minutes whereas every where else states 30minutes? Even after reset of stats etc.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] dogroll:
Does the kernel make much changes to battery at this stage or is it mainly just implementing gestures and CPU control?

The difference between stock and EX on my M7 was monolithic in terms of battery life but I can't imagine the kernel affecting battery that much on a brand new phone.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
I haven't done anything for battery yet. EX gov is there, but I haven't been using it. Just brought it straight from HTC m9, it will need to be tuned for this device as the cpu behaviour is much different than on the m9.

I used your kernel on hammerhead, and remember wake gestures causing drain because the touch panel couldn't be on separate from the screen (or something like that).
