[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] NuLLV01D:
I thought that should be it too but the way the theme developer mentioned Franco and ElementalX specifically confused me. Anyways thanks for summing it up!

And No I have no problem with him shipping an Enforcing kernel.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] belloni:
Sorry if this is a stupid question but i'm currently on Elemental X kernel using interactive governor with the tweaks from Sonicron. Does this kernel have that governor?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Evolution101:
It your asking if franco kernel has interactive, the answer is yes
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Badger50:
All the kernels have the interactive governor.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] belloni:
Knew it was a stupid question! Thanks all, looking forward to trying this out tonight over Elemental.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Evolution101:
I'm having problems with one core getting stuck at max freq even when I'm not interacting with the device. Anyone else had the same issue?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] dsmitty166:
In short, theme chooser works just fine on the two mentioned kernels here, as long as the ROM is set to permissive, not enforcing.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] phynias:
I'm using fkupdater and it shows r7 as the latest why doesn't it show r8?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Toutatis_:
Yes, you can enable it via FKupdater application.

Edit: my bad, I didn't see some people already answered this.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
You have some process doing some major background work so it pegs CPU0.

Because FKUpdater needs to be updated to work with the new anyKernel format.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] exSD:
Can you upload the busybox binary for me that you used? I can't find which version to use for the 6P. I see armv81 but nowhere to download it.

Edit - Nevermind. I extracted the busybox binary from a busybox installer app and did it manually via adb.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ConMcCRay:
So first cycle and I have to say bravo! I was on WiFi all day but still. BRAVO! ??
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sameerm02:
My first cycle, Croma+Franco, pretty great, thanks a lot Franco for this great kernel :good: :highfive:

CAF builds did wonders for me on OnePlus one (bacon) especially with its camera
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] apascual89:
I was asked not to share in this thread for completely valid reasons. I could start a thread for it I guess until Franco kernel supports cm.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] micmars:
Why, that flippin crazy, but understandable.

Oh well, a few of us on here like some of the best words, and we carnt stop using them.

I know, for instance that carnt [MENTION=4603975]daveyannihilation[/MENTION] carnt resist that ducking word.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mgear356:
Anyone having gaming issues?

With r1, marvel future fight will freeze with music playing during the game or loading screen. Only way is to close the app via task and reload the app. The phone doesn't hang.

Used other kernel no issues. Flash back chroma and r1 again but problem still persist.

Any ideas? Will logs help?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I think battery life will improve, again, with r2, made some changes to make cpu-boost not to boost cpu4-7 unless they have at least 1 task running (thus saving us a lot of unnecessary power). Because of those savings I increased input boost freq of the low power cluster to max (1555MHz) for some extra performance, and even then we're saving power because 834MHz on the high perf cluster uses more power than max freq on the low power cluster. Win win.

Yes

You're both ducking welcome!

You do understand that CAF = CodeAurora = Qualcomm Open Source entity = all Qualcomm phone's Kernels are from CodeAurora, right?

You're free to share it anywhere else, but like I said before if not completely the same Kernel binary + my ramdisk changes, don't call it FK :)

Yes :good:

I downloaded it and loads just fine here.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sacredsoul:
Never had a Nexus device or tried franco kernel before but I've heard loads about both. Gonna buy the app!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
You have my ducking thanks.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mgear356:
It's fine but if you play a few stages of future fight, it will hang at loading with music still playing.. The phone still functions will goes well..
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Ofthecats:
Pure CAF, more caf - like, whatever lol. Sultan's work on opo. There was a difference
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] jaythenut:
You could mix it up a bit and add plucking to your list :silly:
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] pr0cl1v1ty:
The paid app is awesome!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
And it's still not updated for Angler yet. Working on it!! :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] DJSave:
evetything settled by itself, thanks for the great kernel once again!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] agjdsouza:
Love this kernel! Forgive me for this question because I know it's a common topic, but is anyone else having 5 GHz issues?

Went through the spectrum and only Channel 36 works for me. Using a wifi analyzer on laptop I can see that my 6p also only detects other 5 GHz networks that are on Channel 36 even though there are a ton of other 5 GHz networks around (in an NYC apartment so plenty of networks around).

Mainly trying to figure out if, in others' experience, this can be fixed on my end or requires RMA.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
My 5GHz from Apple's router connects just fine to my 6P, channel 40.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] belloni:
Me again, can this be flashed over elemental kernel? Reason i'm asking is he says to flash his over stock and not a custom one :)

Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] rebretz000:
No it can not.

Dirty Flash your ROM, then SuperSU, then the new r8.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] belloni:
Ok awesome, thanks :) Just to confirm it's SuperSU 2.66?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Badger50:
Yes, or 2.67 if you prefer.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] wietse1988:
Depends, which rom are you on right now? If the rom is pre rooted, then there's no need to flash supersu.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] belloni:
I'm currently on Pure Nexus.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] rebretz000:
Good catch by those above. I'm using CleanCore and it's not pre-rooted so I always have to reflash systemless.

I also extracted the boot.img from it so I just flash that instead of the ROM when changing kernels.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] wietse1988:
Then only need to dirty flash rom, don't have to wipe anything.

Steps to do:

*dirty flash Pure Nexus

*flash Franco r8

*reboot

That's it, you're on Franco r8 ;)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TheDude:
He makes a good point and it is a compelling argument. Does the app not auto check for updates periodically anyway?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Asselalf:
found this somewhere on XDA:

Type this in terminal or adb shell

[B]su
mount -o remount,rw /system
mkdir /system/su.d
echo "#!/system/bin/sh" > /system/su.d/permissive.sh
echo "setenforce 0" > /system/su.d/permissive.sh
echo "0" > /sys/fs/selinux/enforce
chmod 755 /system/su.d/permissive.sh[/B]

I think you must install SuperSU and not CM SuperUser but i don't know exactly
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] SchmilK:
Get rid of Facebook. I had the exact same problem. Now I just go to facebook.com and all cores rest in peace :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] binaryfalcon:
Wouldn't greenifying Facebook + messenger just solve the battery problems?

Either way, is there any alternative for messenger? Those apps really kill battery life

(Sorry for ot)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
That'll set the SELinux to permissive... Good bye security :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] belloni:
Is there any way to disable touchboost on this kernel?

Edit found the input boost.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Goodbey smoothness [emoji41]
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] kinesics:
True story! I messed around and disabled it for a few days it was horrible.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ampelift:
I use it couple of days now and it works very well...
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] cAase:
If I'm not mistaken, aggressive doze isn't really ideal to have enabled if you turn on/off your screen frequently? No idea if I'm wrong or not.

Backlight dim in fkupdater application, what does it mean?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Badger50:
Just a way to uniformly adjust screen brightness at the lower levels. Gives a much smoother transition than stock settings.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Robi959:
Okay tnx. Franco can you tell me safest limit for speakers gain in your application?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Devhux:
Anyone else noticing slower response time for Nexus Imprint? Using the Performance profile in FKupdater on Pure Nexus rom.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Bwyan Benton:
I flashed it over elemental kernel on pure nexus with no issues.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
It's fine here.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Spider_Pig27:
R8 ? thanks
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] marbertshere:
Actually, yes, I am noticing it, and I don't recieve the haptic feedback when unlocking, which is fine for me. I'm on PureNexus.

But I am getting over 6 hours of SOT with a day and a half of use. So I've got that going for me.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] jackie_jagger:
Actually that delay isn't from the kernel but Android 6.0.1. There are multiple reports on reddit's N6P subreddit about it.

Quick question though, does anyone find the phone slows down over few days of use and you have to reboot it to make it snappy? If yes, did you ever find a fix? It's pretty frustrating. :(

on another note, R8 is pretty ducking amazing. Thanks Franco.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] carelockh:
Forgive me if this is a dumb question, I see people always talking bout SOT (Screen on time)?

Is this just the overall average throughout the day your screen is on when using the phone, facebook, apps, email/gmail etc? Off on that one charge before you recharge it again correct? Just never really paid any attention to that stuff personally, even though I feel like I should. :P
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] jackie_jagger:
That's right. you can find that stat under Settings - > Battery --> Tap on Screen.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] evobyte:
I flashed kernel over pure nexus rom, first time ive used a kernel on the 6p so far and one hour later my phone rebooted and now it says no sim?? Any one else have this issue? I tried restoring stock and i cant get my phone to read my sim card, went to verizon got a new sim and still out of luck!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] EarlZ:
I have the same issue but its only noticeable in heavy 3d games, since then Ive gotten into the habit of rebooting my phone every night when I (remember) sleep.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] phanitej:
No issues e. U mentioned u restored stock, if u restored a twrp backup, then try flashing the stock factory images and check. What does the baseband say?

Hi Franco, is me again, with no questions, justo a greatfull thank you, I got 6 hours of screen on today, fkn crazy!

Chroma, your r8, greenify,and a good configuración.

Súper amazing! 6 hours from 100 to 5%
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] jackie_jagger:
Yea for me it gets to a point where taps are delayed, everything just bogs down and stutters. Hangouts performance just tanks and the entire phone feels like it isn't optimized at all :/
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sharp87:
i had this issue too..r7 doesn't have this problem but r8 does

flash r8 again then reboot to home screen and once again reboot to make all core work
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] eluspo:
Does fk have a custom color profile out of the box?

---------- Post added at 07:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 AM ----------

By homescreen, you meant reboot to android or reboot back to twrp homescreen?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] SirVilhelm:
Same issue here with stock Rom on project fi. Flashed r8 and no SIM, restored boot and SIM card comes back.

Have you tried flashing the stock boot.img?

Also FKUpdater is showing that I am on r7 and no updates available.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] gianton:
No such issue here, clean flashed r8.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] eluspo:
Maybe it's only in the built-in system monitor in Fk that's showing 4 cores.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] gianton:
[MENTION=3050807]porter11[/MENTION] post I quoted was from a SS with CPU-Z.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] heleos:
Known issue, been talked about a lot since the r8 release. Franco needs to update the app to be compatible with the anykernel format. He said it should be within the next couple days
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] eme2:

Sometimes works great, other time it doesnt work properly.

Does fk come with a custom color profile out of the box?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] evobyte:
I don't have a back up, I tried everything and went back to completely stock, I had to order a replacement through Google.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Doesn't seem created by the Kernel, which doesn't know what a sim card is.

Yes, and? You're probably thermal throttled.

EDIT: actually it's my fault, I disabled core_control inside the thermal driver, by mistake (wrong copypasta) so if the big cluster goes offline due to heat it won't come back up. I'll correct it.

And what do you want me to do?

FKUpdater? Yes, some. Next version will ship with more.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] eluspo:
I meant a custom color profile right after i flash the kernel. Like just flash and forget. Or ur kernel ship with stock colors?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Ships with stock colors.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] eluspo:
Okay thank you.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Re-uploaded http://kernels.franco-lnx.net/Nexus6P/6.0/anyKernel/fk-r8-anykernel2.zip fixing the big cluster cores going offline and not coming online. As a bonus I also merged a patch from flar which makes the big cluster resist a little while longer before cores going offline AND you can tweak the temperature threshold inside FKUpdater (Kernel settings -> cpu temp threshold). Also merged BFQ IO scheduler just for one purpose, CM13.0 has a new I/O priority management that sits on top of BFQ CGROUPS so if you're on CM I suggest you use BFQ scheduler to benefit from it. If you're not on CM you're free to choose which IO scheduler you wanna use, but I'd sit with CFQ. I benchmarked them and I saw some regressions with sqlite operations with BFQ. Here's CM's commit for more info about this thing: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_vendor_cm/commit/28dbc8b311f341e702c39b6a5ee0cc048a0280fb

If you were on r8 before you can just flash this on top, if you were on r7 and stock rom I suggest you to flash stock boot.img and then r8 on top. If you're on a custom rom with r7 I suggest you to dirty flash the rom (or just extract the rom's boot.img and flash it) and then flash r8 on top.

Added flashing info to the OP to avoid confusion.

You're ****ing welcome.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] johnandbodhi:
thanks bro
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] jackie_jagger:
MRW there's a new kernel to flash:

But no seriously, r8 has been rock solid for me and my phone sleeps much better than ever before (except that stupid bluesleep issue, which isn't the kernel's fault).

This is OT but I figured it might help anyone:

I noticed that Sleep for Android tends to keep "BlueSleep" active even after it's done tracking and you've turned it off. This in turn causes a CPU wakelock and bye bye goes your battery. So far, the fix I've found is restarting and cycling the bluetooth connections. I hope this helps ..
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Neverendingxsin:
Is there a zip anywhere with the stock bootimage so i can just flash away in recovery?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Just download the system images from Google, the boot.img is inside.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Devhux:
You are awesome Franco! Seriously..... I love this kernel!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] snovvman:
Thank you VERY much!!!!!!

I am on stock w/ r7. Curiously--why is it necessary to flash the stock boot.img first then r8? Isn't the franco.Kernel a direct and full replacement for the stock boot.img?

So the order from stock/r7 would be:

1) Fastboot flash boot.img (stock)

2) Boot into recovery

3) Flash r8

4) Flash SuperSu 2.67

5) Clear cache, etc.

6) Reboot

?

Thanks again.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
More of a safe measure since I change 1 or 2 things on stock ramdisk, this makes sure everything is 100% stock.

No need to clear cache.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] 2dorr:
FKupdater says there is a new update but r8 download is not happening.

I have the message in Notification bar that says Downloading r8.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] 2dorr:

Fkupdater still does not see the r8 release. Any idea why?

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Neverendingxsin:
Might just be me but I noticed much better battery life on r7 than on r8.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Define better battery.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Neverendingxsin:
The battery lasted longer, my use hasn't really changed much but I was able to get about 1.5 days with average of 4hr SOT but now it seems I only get about 1 day with the same use.

Could just be placebo and unrelated but it happened right after going from R7 to R8.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] kingmikel:
[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] do you have your device encrypted like on Shamu? Or did you go through to trouble to decrypt it?

And I saw on G+ that on the next release of FKU you fixed Per App Modes, thank you!!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Many things can happen that alter battery life. You don't have the same signal every day, same wakelocks every day... I've barely touched anything that can affect battery life since r3 or so so I doubt it was r8.

Encrypted - decryption is not worth the hassle + I don't care.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] kingmikel:
And what is the best way to switch to your kernel from a different custom kernel? I've heard that flashing system and stock boot img is the best, also heard just flashing the stock boot img before switching .
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Phazmos:
Consists usage and environment, the 2 most critical and hardest aspects of battery life testing.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Neverendingxsin:
I know that a lot of things can alter battery life. I've only been on R8 for a day or two so still have to do more testing, it was just early results that was all. :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
If you know for sure your custom kernel doesn't modify the system partition, you can just flash the boot.img. If they do modify system, you need both the system.img and the boot.img.

Though I very much appreciate the giveaway, I am glad that I paid for the app. With all the work that you've put into the kernels, apps, etc., a few bucks is the least that you deserve. I strongly believe in supporting the devs. Without you and others, we wouldn't have the fun that we do with these devices...

Thanks again, and cheers...
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] r.suchil:
Love Franco kernel, been using it since the nexus 4,5 and 6. Recently put Franco kernel on my 6p. Running stock, with r8. I'm not sure if this is kernel related but while using Google play music, any song I pick it started, local and streaming, the song then goes silent about 1 second after pressing the song, and starts the song like 25 seconds later (that's a guess based on the lyrics I heard) but the song time is still like 3 seconds into the song. It does this repeatedly. However if i click "watch video" and back out, the song 7/10 times will load without the choppyness. I am trying to explain this well enough and I'm not even sure its kernel related. Just thought I would bring it up to the community and see if anyone experiences what I am. I am travelling for work rn so maybe my service has something to do with it. Regardless of what is going on, great kernel, love the fku app, thanks for all the work u put in.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] binaryfalcon:
does elemental x alter system.img? I want to switch to Franco, is flashing stock boot.img first okay?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
No it does not. So stock boot.img then Franco and you are good to go.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to android so I put a response in the kernel thread not knowing if it was the right place to do so. I clean flashed the 1/9/16 build of pure nexus and I'm getting a weird exclamation mark where it shows the WiFi signal. Should I post in the ROM thread for help?
