Minor issue that I found is when you are installing Elemental X through TWRP, it says 'lauch camera app'. Should have an extra 'n' there.

Other than that, great kernel! Thanks OP :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sengab1991:
Is there a way to change from enforcing to permissive ? And to hide bootloader unlock status ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] kyzn:
There is a zip file somewhere that does that made by [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]. I'm not sure it this is the correct one. And for the 2nd thing, ElementalX already does that out of the box. But that would be counter intuitive, if your goal is to use Android pay, AFAIK, making the kernel permissive will trip SafetyNet.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sengab1991:
Thanks for replying.

My bank uses entrust app for transaction verification which doesn't work on unsecured device I removed the root and it still telling me that your device is unsecured.

So I searched some say to try changing from enforcing to permissive and other says it is because of unlocked bootloader.

I used magisk to hide root and it also says CTS profile mismatch on testing SafetyNet.

hi guys... i've tried several times to get this kernel to boot with 3 different aosp roms, but it always ends up in a hard bootloop without getting past the google logo. any help please?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Badger50:
That's really odd. I've run this kernel on stock, PN, DU, AICP without any issues at all. Are you using version 4.04 for nougat roms? What's you flashing sequence? What SU are you using, or are you running stock. More info on your part helps a lot [emoji106]

Sent from me :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Greatness_GH:
thanks for the reply. i'm using the 4.04 yes. my flashing sequence is:

1. Rom (AOSP Extended now. tried with SAOSP, and NitrogenOS too)

2.Gapps.

3.EX kernel

4.Magisk

5.Viper

= Hard Bootloop
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Badger50:
Hmmmm...your sequence isn't much different than mine. Except, I don't use Magisk. Maybe try this as it has never failed me...

Full wipe

Flash rom, gapps, SU instead of magisk

Then kernel, then after it hopefully boots up, go back to recovery, un-SU, then flash Magisk. Don't know if it'll work, but what the heck, worth a try.

Sent from me :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Greatness_GH:
Tried your method. Same effect. I think I'll use a different kernel. Thanks man
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] kyzn:
I'm going to say it's Viper's fault. That's why I stopped flashing it along with the ROM and kernel. I flash ROM, Gapps, kernel, root method - boot and then go back into TWRP and flash V4A or ARISE.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Badger50:
You could be right. However, I've never faced that issue on a clean flash using deuteronomy 2.3.3.

Nope. I chose all the stock values only

I recently installed elemental ex, was using franco

Now I've loaded glassfish from ex kernel manager but touchboost won't disable

Whenever I boot up it is enabled, I have to manually disable it everytime, does it work manually? And how do I keel it disabled during boot?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Will008:
I have a sort of an odd question, I used to have Franco kernel and purchased the franco kernel updater app, no I have ex kernel and purchased the ex kernel manager app. There are some features that I like in Franco's app that I want to use, like the full brightness mode if the ambient light crosses a certain threshold.

My question is can I have both apps running for different reasons or would they conflict as each app will set its own gov values for example?

If someone knows an app that has the brightness option, please let me know.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Badger50:
Interesting question. Only one way to find out. At worst, you uninstall one of em and restore a backup [emoji106]

Sent from me :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] drothenberger:
I have both installed, but I only let EXKM manage the kernel settings like the governor settings. It works fine.

There is a HBM widget from flar2 that can automatically enable HBM under bright conditions, but you can't control the threshold. I had mixed results with it. It usually worked fine, but sometimes there was a long delay before it enabled or disabled HBM. I've never tried FKUpdater for this, so I don't know if it has the same problem.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] beauh82:
You must click on touchboost in kernel manager until it says disabled then click on that little power symbol to the right of touch boost so it lights up blue. That will make it set on boot
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] martijndjonie:
Can you make this for p8max
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Will008:
How do you "only let" EXKM mange the kernel settings? I mean the only way is through giving through root access and Franco would still need the access to manage the brightness thing.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] drothenberger:
Neither EXKM nor FKUpdater make any changes on boot unless you enable the switch next to a setting. I just don't enable anything in FKUpdater.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] biglo:
Oh nice great to know, gonna leave that sucker at 42 then.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] jhs39:
I don't think the Franco brightness setting will work for ElementalX Kernel. If that feature was included in the Kernel wouldn't you be able to enable it in elemental's kernel control app?

Hi [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION],

Several people seem to be having hotspot problems with the latest Pure Nexus ROM and your kernel: it seems like it's turning off randomly after being turned on. Could this be related to the kernel?

I'm still on Chroma 6.0.1 and plan to update soon and since I use the hotspot function from time to time, I'm just wondering what's up. Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] JamFan05:
Could someone please post the values for flar2's color profile. For some reason none of the profiles are showing up when I try to load one. None of the governor profiles are showing up either.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] codygs83:
I've found this issue only on pn rom no matter if it's stock or custom kernel. I used benzo ROM for awhile and had no hotspot issues at all. I'm thinking it's a ROM issue. I've seen the same problem with others in the pn thread
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Ghisy:
I see, that's unfortunate. Man, it seems like every time I want to update to Nougat, something comes in the way haha!

I'm getting a bootloop with this on N4F26J, I already tried flashing everything again, deleted elemental kernel manage and the settings, but still getting it. Only thing flashed after upgrading was supersu
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] v12xke:
Not the kernel. Go here for more info.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] 6:17:
Actually, I switched from PN to Benzo because of the hotspot turning off whenever it feels like it. But in Benzo, I experienced the same result. I've tried carbon as well. I'm back to the latest PN, as there is no escaping it. My speculation is that it's doze related, cause it only happens once the screen turns off.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Atari-:
Well I flashed the stock image (complete image) and tried to flash Elementalx I keep getting a bootloop at the Google logo. Interestingly enough I have another 6p that has a different RAM manufacturer and that one boots up fine with Elementalx, could there be something there or I'm just grasping at straws? Bootloop 6p MICRON RAM, 6p that boots Hynix RAM.

EDIT: Just tested my theory and indeed the Hynix DRAM 6P booted just fine with Elementalx on the other hand the MICRON DRAM 6P just bootloops at the Google logo after flashing Elementalx.

Is anyone facing random internet (4g/3g) drops? happening a lot here . I am on Pure Nexus Rom latest build.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mpgrimes:
I have as well, but currently not using this kernel. Also been having the sim card dissappear and either a reboot or sim removal and reinsert to fix it. Don't think it's kernel related at all. Maybe new radio issue. I'm gonna try to flash old radio to see if it fixes it.

Just updated EX Kernel Manager in the play store (v2.99) and noticed a few display bugs:

1. The CPU temp now displays as NA on the main screen.

2. The max cpu frequency (big cluster) reads "unavailable".

Nexus 6P, PureNexus 7.1.1 (latest release), ElementalX kernel v4.04.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] MashBill:
Works fine for me on 6P, stock ROM & latest EX.

Same thing is happening here.

Only thing installed other than pure nexus and gapps is sr3 root.

Continuous bootloop.

I'm guessing it' the root. Have you tried booting with only PN, Gapps and EX kernel? I'm using Magisk for root and it's a none issue.

Hello, thank you for your effort, I use your kernel without issues.

One question, is there any app or script that would allow other devices that cannot benefit from ElementalX Kernel to block the Bluedroid, wlan_rx, wlan_ctrl and wlan Wakelocks?.

Thank you in advance.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
No, those options are built into the kernel

Do you need to apply EVERY CPU setting to "start on boot" or only the ones that you change?

If your running a profile that changes the frequencies, just make sure you tick the blue circles icons to the right in the EXKM app and they will apply properly at boot up [emoji106]

Well, as flar states in OP you must be on default kernel that comes with the actual ROM, so just dirty flash PureNexus then flash ElementalX. Just that :)

Got it sir. Much simple than I thought ;) The previous phones I did not pay a lot attention to cooked ROM like this 6P. I got really big problem yesterday, also the first day using 6P that 100% battery drained in just one night, which Android System got it all. I have to check it again after comeback for work. However it's still a great step from Note Edge to this Nexus.

They will come back online randomly. There is no benefit to disabling them and you will be unable to control them unless you turn off thermal protection, so just leave them alone.

Unable to flash 4.05 with stock NUF26K (February 2017, Verizon Only)

Hi,

I've been unable to flash 4.05 (verified zip integrity, and tried downloading from multiple machines) with the latest 2/5/2017 NUF26K Verizon only stock with either official twrp-3.03-0 and unofficial f2fs enable twrp-3.03-3 recovery.

I've flashed complete stock for all partitions multiple times, except userdata.

I get the following output:

Data successfully decrypted, new block device: '/dev/block/dm-0'

Updating partition details...done

Successfully decrypted with default password.

Updating partition details...done

Full SELinux support is present.

MTP Enabled

Simulating actions...

Updating partition details...done

Failed in under "Install Zip"

For what it's worth, I also noticed that I am unable to use twrp to copy /tmp/recovery.log to /sdcard.

Does anybody have an idea why the flash does not work?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] v12xke:
Odd, there is no "install.zip" Did the aroma installer ever start/run? Have you tried queuing up in TWRP, SU 2.79-SR3 first and then EX. Any errors from SU? You could also try using EXKM or Flashify.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] bing321:
Never got to the aroma installer.

All flash efforts result in the same "Fail" error.

I can't use EXKM because I don't have root anymore.

I tried the following: copying zip to /cache partition or to /tmp and both locations fail to copy.

I also tried ADB sideload with twrp and it also fails with "Zip signature verification failed!"
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] flar2:
Turn off zip signature verification
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Badger50:
Ok Mr. Flar2, I can't figure this one out. Been using your kernels and EXKM app for about the last year. Don't know if this is a rom, kernel or app issue. Just clean flashed the February vendor and Cortex rom, and your kernel as always, let it boot up, restored all my data apps with TiBu as usual. When I opened the EXKM app I saw the weirdest thing. The big cores were offline, governor was set to performance, and I had to manually set the high/low frequencies and tick all the reboot circles. Normally, I just leave everything stock in the aroma setup and all is good. Got the same results with the stock rom kernel and another custom kernel. I think it may be an app issue with the February vendor...maybe. I was running your 4.05 kernel on the January Cortex rom without any issue. I'm pretty well versed with your kernel and app, and can usually figure stuff out with the process of elimination., wipes, uninstalls, clearing app data etc..etc. So was just wondering what you think. As always, thanks for your great work in the community [emoji106]

Sent from me :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] bing321:
I tried that and it didn't work.

I finally figured out a workaround, but I still have no idea how it happened or what it means.

I noticed in the bootloader screen that "Download mode" was Disabled. I used this strange command

fastboot oem ramdump enable

rebooted the bootloader and then everything was back to normal, and I was able to flash normally through unofficial twrp 3.03-2.

What's strange is I honestly have never noticed Download Mode, have no idea what it does, and I certainly never explicitly enabled/disabled it.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] jhs39:
This kernel + February Cortex sent me into boot loop twice. I'm currently back on stock. I had no problems with January either.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Badger50:
Interesting. I didn't bootloop, and I've got it running fine on February Cortex with manual setup. Just very odd since usually Ex kernel is flash it and forget it. Which is why I use it on every rom I flash. Hopefully the master chef will weigh in [emoji106]

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] jhs39:
I think you're right. When I switched to official TWRP 3.0.3-0 I was able to install the kernel without a bootloop. But everything still isn't working fine. I can't get my setting for big cluster to stick after a boot. It keeps switching from interactive to on demand after every boot. I am clicking the blue button after I change the setting but the setting still won't stick.

If you click on CPU temp doesn't it take you to CPU times where there is a reset button? I remember doing that some time ago when I had the same problem and it worked. Tried it now again and it does the same (although I am not on this kernel currently).

Edit: It is just as flar's guide says: CPU>CPU temperature>reset at upper right corner

Thanks, that fixed it for me!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Master&Slave™:
Hey I have a question. I see that there's a setting to tweak Entropy and ZRAM. As for the ZRAM, is it necessary to leave it on since our device has so much RAM? At some point, doesn't it limit the actually RAM accessable by applications and doesn't it raise CPU usage?

I have an example and it could totally be a placebo. I play a game titled "GODUS" and it would lag significantly to the point where I close it and restart my phone a few times to get a smooth experience. I looked at the kernel setting and saw that ZRAM was enabled and turned it off as I felt like it might be effecting the CPU usage with all of the compression going on. Once I turned it off, the game was smooth again, even when I have other applications running.

Additionally, I'm struggling to figure out exactly how Entropy works in Android. I see by default, it's set to 64 over 128; what is Entropy and how does the OS use it?

Thank You,

M&S
