[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] how can I sign up for said beta? I checked the g+ community but couldn't find it
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] theesotericone:
Best is subjective. Ex stock settings are pretty damn good. I'd say a lot of people just use the kernel as is and never tweak anything. If your a tinkerer, go ahead and find what's best for you. There's a lot of info in this site about tuning kernels. Read it and try some different gov's and schedulers. You can easily spend the better part of a month or more if you really get into it.

As far as settings sticking, Ex's stock settings will "stick" on every boot. If you do decide to tweak Ex is compatible with every kernel app I've tried. For best results and just to feel better about yourself as a human I have to recommend the EX Kernel Manager. Flar's app is also compatible with most other kernels so it's a win win.

The little power buttons you see to the right of the values in the app are for set on boot. If it's blue it's set for boot. Gray means the settings will not persist on boot. If you do tweak make sure it's stable before you set to boot. This is really important when lowering voltages. More people than I can count have bootlooped because of bad settings set for boot, then came to the Ex threads to find help. Don't be one of those. lol

Flashed 1.08 and now I'm getting an FC on the camera. Can't switch to the rear camera on snapchat either. Rebooting now to see if that fixes it.

Looks more like a kernel error, attached screenshots.

Edit: reboot fixed it. Carry on lol

Hi Flar,

Thanks for your speedy support in fixing the problem yesterday. I bought you a coffee through your EX Kernel Manager app!

Cheers,

Damn dude, what a monster, can you explain me how to do that?

I know how to flash kernel and rom's (obviously) but not much than that (still feeling pretty noob)

So I can't understand the other stuff you mentioned.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] steelersmb:
This happens on mine as well. No matter what, it always sets to 1824 unless you go lower than it will stick but anything higher than 1824 in the settings and it reverts back to 1824. Is there a solution for this?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] elreydenj:

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Badger50:
Use your file explorer, remove the .sh then drop that file into the elemental x governor profile section. Then you can use the EXKM app, go to cpu>governor options and you'll see the profile there :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Badger50:
Sorry. Forgot this :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] steveo17:

The 6P is an animal with this kernel, I`m a developer myself but jezus no words for this kernel.

Many thx [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]. Can`t wait to show this beautify off tomorrow @my job.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Nothing. Google Connectivity Services is only essential for Project Fi, you can disable or freeze it with no consequences.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
It's limited by perfd moat of the time. The cap is lifted when needed, check out cpu times and you'll see that it is using the higher frequencies. Don't worry about it.

Nobody should pay attention to cpu frequencies. They just work on this device.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] AngelxCasas:
To do everything the other guy said about to get that battery life, should I use the stock options of the kernel?

I'm trying to emulate his configurations, but I'm struggling a little bit because basically idk what I'm trying to do haha, just collecting pieces.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
I would let it run stock, this device is a little temperamental when it comes to tinkering because of the little big cluster and the lack of voltage control. The stock settings on this device are probably the best settings there can be.

Hello,

I switched to your kernel because I did not manage to get the stereo speakers (individually) gain. But then I downloaded and flashed your kernel, then I bought your app, and it worked, I was able to specifically adjust the gain of my right and left speaker individually.

But now, a few hours later, it is not working anymore...

What is the cause? What can I do now?

I am not using Viper4Android or any other sound enhacing software.

Thx

EDIT: After further investigating it seems that it works with YouTube, but it is not working with Google Play Music, VLC and not even with BlackPlayer.

Can you please make it to work with everything? Thank youu

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] elite_gamer04:
Have I gone mad or has the 'Touchboost' option disappeared (or moved) in the EKKM Beta?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Still there.

For some unknown reason, a few people can't access that setting. It's something to do with your SuperSU install or selinux policy. Make sure you have SuperSU installed correctly and the supolicy tool is available.

I do two things to make it accessible to the app: during kernel install, I change the selinux context of the touchboost file. If that doesn't work, the app will use supolicy to give the app access.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] elite_gamer04:
Haha thanks for confirming, was pulling my hair out. All I did was update from 1.05 to 1.08 :P

Edit: Just updated to 2.50 - force closed and reopened EKKM. Still not under CPU sub-menu. I've got SuperSU 2.66 and Chroma (03/02/2015). Root seems to be fine, grant EKKM access and Root Explorer works. Aroma installer was default apart from 'Up' wake-up gesture.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
I can't believe how fast the updates get out on the Play Store sometimes. I didn't think anyone would get version 2.50.

The fix is in 2.51, I had just released the 2.50 beta when I saw your post and checked it out.

2.51 is out now.

On the ball as usual Flar2, that's why we love you! Will report back once I see 2.51 pop up.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] IlyaKol:
Hi guys...this sounds so promising...but I don't know if I've done it right.

I have paid for and installed the "EX Kernel Manager" app.

I have downloaded the GhostPepper and Butterfly profiles for the N6P and copied them into "ElementalX/gov_profiles"

I have made the tweaks I wanted so far (such as DT2W and Sweep2Sleep left/right)

I have imported the settings (which in turn created a 'custom_settings' folder in the above mentioned directory ElementalX

Couple of things:

1) I have set GhostPepper to be active (blue power icon is selected and I have rebooted)...how do I verify?

2) DT2W works, however sweeping across the notification bar left or right does not put the phone to sleep

3) Swiping down on the lockscreen does not open the camera app

What am I doing wrong?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
1. Compare your values with the values in the thread and see if they are the same.

2. Is it enabled in the EXKM? I don't use the nav bar nor do I own a 6P so I can't really help with this.

3. It isn't on the home screen, it is on the lockscreen, and you have to have sweep to wake enabled in the down direction activated in addition to the camera shortcut option. I'd recommend switching to sweep to wake over double tap to wake anyways, much more accurate and no accidental wakeups.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] IlyaKol:
1) Okay...gotta find them.

2) Yes, all are enabled and I enabled them to stick on reboot too.

3) Sorry, I meant lockscreen, not homescreen (updating my OP).
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
1. Right here

2. Hmmmm odd.

3. Point still stands about sweep to wake haha.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] IlyaKol:
Evidently, I didn't turn the profiles on. When I used the left pane, went into CPU and scrolled down to 'governor', there I was able to 'load' GhostPepper. Set apply on reboot, turned both governors on and rebooted. The way I did it before (by going to user tools, etc.) wasn't it I guess.

I also took your advice to do sweep to wake and got sweep down for camera to work, however due to my lockscreen security settings, it just shows me a white screen and then goes back to my lockscreen. If I disable lockscreen security then it works fine. I had the same issue when using the double-click power button to open the camera....which sucks that it can't get past the lockscreen and just prevent access to the SD card. Oh well.

All seems well now...thanks...

EDIT: Actually, sweep right or left to sleep doesn't work still. Oh well...I'm going to bed lol.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Maybe try unchecking the option to lock your phone instantly with the power button if you have it on.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] IlyaKol:
Nah, still no change. I'll just deal with the power button.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] biglo:
[MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION] a little off topic but I notice you said you don't use a nav bar, does that mean you use capative buttons instead or some other method of using your device?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] pa.pn2:
maybe stupid question but how can i load the color profiles?i see them in the folder....lol:confused:

found it.all good
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Nope, I use Swipe Navigation from the Play Store. Works 100% and it had good support. I don't like pie controls and I have pretty big hands so it works out for me. If you have further questions, PM me, don't want to derail the thread.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Where exactly are you sweeping to sleep on the display?

Edit: I have to ask. Did you install ElementalX kernel? Your original post says you paid for EXKM itself but does not state that you have also installed the kernel. Apologies for asking, but checking all variables.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:

It was like 2AM, so maybe I just read nav as notification....I did called the lockscreen the homescreen lol.

Is there some kind of a ElementalX kernel wikipedia? I did a search but I couldn't find anything about the settings in ElementalX or the app. I’m looking for info on what the settings do and how its best used.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] soylukral:
Hey guys, i searched the forum but cant find anything about battery drain from android-system and kernel (Android os). They both are far above the 10% of battery drain. IM on stock ROM MMB29Q with cataclysme mod. I just flashed the latest version of elementalx yesterday, and now do i have the drain. I tried cache wipe and reinstall of the kernel allready with no succes.Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] rebretz000:
I swear there has to be a bug in MMB29Q.

I have it on Pure Nexus with a few different kernels.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] soylukral:
Than why doesnt it happen with stock kernel? I did have the same problem earlier with elementalx on the HTC one m8.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Az Biker:
I'm running latest PN, Q, and EX 1.08 (Vomertweaks dynamic mode) and Greenify getting 5.5-6 hrs sot every charge.

Might not be a Q thing.

...from my NexsixP
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
That's because of thermal throttling or low battery. There is no change to CPU stuff on the latest version (nor any version, it is exactly the same as stock kernel).

I have no problem with this. In any case, it is not related to the kernel. If your experience says otherwise, it is purely coincidental.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] deviantintegral:
I've had a few full reboots running stock + elementalx 1.05. I was expecting a last_kmsg.txt file in /sdcard but it's not there - is there anywhere else I should be looking? Any good alternatives to plugging in overnight and running logcat over adb? I'm reasonably sure a full panic was occurring as I have to re-enter my PIN to unlock userdata and not just at the lockscreen. Just updated to 1.08, so we'll see if it continues.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
/sys/fs/pstore is where the ramoops reside. Hitting the last_kmsg option in the EXKM properly pulls those files into the txt file in the /sdcard folder but you need to do that manually, it isn't automatic.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] relevant_placeholder:
https://source.android.com/devices/tech/config/low-ram.html

Disregarding low RAM reference (in n6P case), it consolidates all duplicate memory pages on account of few extra CPU cycles.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
I'm quite sure the kernel is 100% stable. Not only have I left everything essential to stability just like stock, I have never had a reboot even during testing and development. You should do a full wipe and clean install. I always suggest this because it's far easier than trying to troubleshoot some isolated unknown problem.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] .hEiMDaLL.:
Funny thing... I had exactly the same issue on PureNexus and before on my M7, both with EX... Android-System and Kernel were always above 10%. Sometimes over 20%. Never found out what the problem was, disabling xposed modules, OK google, uninstalling apps, nothing helped... After I saw your message I checked again and guess what: It seems to be gone... I haven't changed anything... I just flashed the EX Updates (1.06, 1.07, 1.08) yesterday and installed EXKM beta. But how could this be kernel related?

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
This has absolutely zero to do with ElementalX or any other kernel.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] .hEiMDaLL.:
I'm sure it hasn't anything to do with the kernel. Just had the same issues and they seem to be gone now...

EX is by far the best kernel I used on my phones.

BTW, i remember the high percentage was only shown in Gsam not in BBS or system stats...

I was and still am also very satisfied with the kernel. Thats not the thing. I only want to know what is causing this issue. Yesterday with stock kernel didnt had this. It began after flashing latest elementalx. After all, thank you for the great work and effort to make this kernel!

Do you, by any chance, use GSam?

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]: I have a question regarding your dev check app. I'm thinking of buying the full version, like I did with EXKM, to support your work... Currently I'm using a 3c toolbox widget to monitor my CPU and battery drain (screenshot) ... Any plans to add a widget besides the overflow display?

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 6P mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
The link is somewhere on the elementalx Google+ community. But you can probably just hold on, there will be a new production release soon.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
I'm thinking about it. I have big plans for DevCheck but it's been on hold due to lack of time. I want to tweak the floating monitors a bit first, and add the new generation of chips to the database, and fix up the translations.

But all that has to wait til I finish this round of improvements to EXKM and my kernels. Then I might need a break as I am working around the clock lately and I have many pressures at my regular day job.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] soylukral:
Yes i do use de gsam app like many others. You maybe think its because of the app? The exmngr app shows me a drain of 3-4% at screen off.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] .hEiMDaLL.:
OK :) so there will be a time when I can replace 3c toolbox, I'm just using it because of the widget and DevCheck is awesome already! Just made the purchase... :good:

Take your time, private life and job comes first.

(and if you need some help with german translations feel free to ask)

---------- Post added at 10:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------

I don't think GSam is causing this, but maybe it calculates kernel and system usage different and there's nothing to worry about. I have 2-3.5% screen off drain, with many apps running in the background (5 mail-accounts, a lot of gps related stuff, gdrive-, onedrive- and dropbox-sync) so I guess thats quite normal for my usage-pattern.
