Found it. Thanks.

I saw subsequent pages say that it doesn't unroot the device; i.e. we don't need to flash SuperSu after flashing this. My question now is - the "force encrypt at boot" thingy of the stock boot.img will still stay disabled, right? I don't want my device to get encrypted.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Correct. Yes, it will still be disabled.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Alright I added the r8 zip url to the OP. All newer releases will be posted in that same directory. For now just flash it through your recovery. When the next FKUpdater release is out you'll be able to download & auto-flash from it.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sarcoptic:
I may have missed this and apologize...wondering if you are still going to release IMG only releases. I enjoy having android pay and don't want to deal with supersu getting in the way all the time therefore I just flash the IMGs and roll with the default settings. Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Just don't flash SuperSu if you don't want to. FK is and will always be flash & forget.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] G-Bus:
I flashed cataclysm boot.img the r8. Realized I had lost root so then I reflashed cataclysm boot.img, supersu then r8 and all seems to be good.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
That will be the process for Cataclysm updates. For FK updates, you will just need to flash FK, nothing else. Just wanted to throw that out there.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Simer03:
So far on 8 I have been getting battery life on par with the stock kernel! Doing an LTE only test today too. Impressive!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
The idea is to have improved battery life vs stock, not on par :p
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] omvir:
This one is not working either on CM. Stay at the boot animation
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ampelift:
I am on a CM and everything works excellent with r8.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sarcoptic:
No problem I just didn't have twrp installed either...so temp boot twrp and installed the zip. Working fine thanks for all!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] bobbarker2:
But what about those of us who like to see the small changes :crying: :p

thanks for all your work franco, I bought your apps just to support you even though I havent been using your kernel in a while.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Everything is in my repository, properly documented and explained :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] guta12:
This version is the final versión of r8?or is a Beta?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] bobbarker2:
Yeah I checkedtherepo and something weird musta happened.. i looked at the angler commits before posting and didnt see anything recent. and now everything since r7 is there. woopsie
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Final, says on the post...
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Simer03:
I know but for some reason I always got much better battery with stock kernel. I have no idea why lol. I should also say I've used elemental kernel the past month, and I started using yours a few days ago with 7. I hope people don't misunderstand me by thinking I'm saying elemental is worse than stock in terms of battery but for me I couldn't get it to match
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Well, with all the changes I made I'm expecting around ~20-30% improvement from stock but of course it always depends on your usage patterns :) enjoy FK!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] -X5-:
Is CM13 ready to use as daily driver?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Simer03:
Thanks, been using your kernel for years. You probably just don't recognize my new avatar :p its not a pot leaf anymore haha
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Of course I recognise your name :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tatico28:
Hey franco I want to try your kernel but I`m running Resurection Remix rom with systemless root su 2.52 what should I do?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] kinesics:
R8 flashed on latest Resurrection Rom, no problems here [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION]. Thanks for the sweet update.

---------- Post added at 12:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 AM ----------

Flash Unsu.zip

Flash R8 kernel

Flash SU 2.66

Profit
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tatico28:
thanks mate!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] kinesics:
only cause we are both Dominicans
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tatico28:
lol de pura cepa!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Just flash the zip. In the OP it says on the instructions you just need to flash it.

No need to un root the device anymore, just flash r8's zip and you're good to go.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tatico28:
thanks franco.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] dsmitty166:
On screwd I needed to flash systemless root to get it to even go past the splash screen. Now granted this was really early when the 6 week old son decided to wake up, so I will try to flash over SuperSU 2.52 again tonight.

But is there any validity to still needing to be on systemless? Or was I just retarded at 3am?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Nocturnal86:
You can use android pay and root.. I have fk and rooted and use android pay just fine.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
That was before, now in r8 things are more complicated to me, but much simpler for the end user. You can use whatever SuperSu version you want, it'll boot.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] dsmitty166:
That was with r8 this morning.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Dx9:
Nice to see DTW enabled after boot. Like the vibration on the double tap also. Finally went through some kernel settings and upped the headphone volume. Comes in handy using my Aux cable in the car. :)

---------- Post added at 07:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

Honestly though Franco kernel alone is a main reason to root your Nexus. I'm not into custom roms or anything. Stock with Franco kernel just amazing for me.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Simer03:
So yeah...
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] binaryfalcon:
Does the r8 version work with system root?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Yes, as long as your ROM supports it/includes it.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] drolgnir:
Couldn't dirty flash r8 on top of chroma, r7 always persisted. Had to dirty flash chroma then r8. Worked like a charm and it kept su intact. It pays to read carefully.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Exactly like I said in the post.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sacredsoul:
Was waiting for R8 to update my Chroma in one fell swoop. Works a charm.

Quick question, if you update Chroma by dirty flashing it, do you have to let it do a first boot first and then reboot back to recovery to install FK? Or can we just install FK right after Chroma installs and reboot?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
I usually install a ROM update and the kernel in one session as it is easier but it doesn't really matter, either one works.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
You should be able to flash FK's zip right after flashing Chroma since everything has been written to the blocks in between flashes.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] AngelxCasas:
Damn dude, can you tell me your configurations?

(I'm super newbie on this things, just came from iOS, and idk wich can be the best configuration to improve like "rom kernel, and their configurations"
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Welcome to the dark side.

There's no "best configuration" it always depends on how you use your phone. I ship FK with what I consider the most balanced settings. There's a fine line between more performance and better battery, I try to strike just on top of that fine line (and it's the same configuration I run my phone). So if you wanna play with things I suggest you flash & forget. But if you tell us what's your type of usage I may be able to tell you one thing or two.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] AngelxCasas:
Thank you, I have like 3 weeks with my phone, and Im playing with it since I got it.

I still feel confused (the last time I was on android it was 4.4 kitkat) So is another world for me, and coming from iOS... well nothing more to tell.

I can't decide betwen Chroma and Pure Nexus project, Im downloading Chroma to try it with r8.

Im a midle-heavy user I think, about an hour- two hours of low gaming per day (not consecutive) (clash of clans, and light games like that)

Social network user (facebook on chrome, whatsapp, instagram, some youtube) and music (with the screen off for sure)

I'm feeling confused but I can feel the hype because I'm playing with everything right now, but I feel scared about modify stuff (on numbers) like screen colors, etc, and plus there's a lot of post's about everything, I can't chose where to start haha.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
First rule: uninstall Facebook app, it'll rape your battery like there's no tomorrow, just use your browser

About the rest, I think the default config will work just fine. You can try Power saving performance profile when gaming to save battery & decrease heat generation. For colors just use a preset profile. You can always return to the defaults if you mess with something though ;)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] AngelxCasas:
Thank you for the clues, I'm about to flash Chroma, and your r8.

Wich app should I use? (Most minimalist, for newbies like me that get scared when watch a lot of values everywhere haha)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
App for what? Changing Kernel stuff? We're not really allowed to publicise paid apps on XDA, but you can try mine search for FKUpdater on the Play Store.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Kernel Adiutor is the free alternative but Franco's own app (linked in his signature lol) is going to be the most compatible with the kernel and you get the update/auto-flash feature. Plus it has a killer design.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Simer03:
I flashed Franco, use greenify and naptime. That's it lol
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Battery life re-invented.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] AngelxCasas:
Wow, a lot of help in the same post :D

In other case: I tried your app "naptime" but same, I don't know how to configurate it propperly, I don't know about those new technologies on Android Marshmallow. So I just uninstall it :( haha
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Just use aggressive doze.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Toutatis_:
I agree with [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION]. Just use Naptime with default doze settings as well as aggressive doze enabled. At least that's what I do and I get very satisfying results as far as battery drain goes.

Stock kernel settings (the famous "flash and forget experience" :good:) + other battery life related apps (Amplify, Greenify, Servicely, Powernap...).
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] AngelxCasas:
Wow, nice, just flashed Chroma and Franko r8 and everything going right, I'll try these apps too.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Phazmos:
Just more info, which if you're not confused yet, could very well change that!

Lots of testing over the years has shown me that for the most part, roms and kernels are pretty similar as far as battery life goes - and now the rub - when configured the same.

There is no rom/kernel, or combination that will instantly double your battery life.

The biggest factor is usage, second is usage, and third is - I'll throw environment in now as I think you get the idea about usage.

If you use cpu/gpu apps often, keep screen bright, and are in weak signal areas all the time, nothing is going to get you good battery life. That's just how it goes.

That doesn't mean you can't get the most out of your battery though.

We have a powerful cpu that doesn't take much for everyday things like surfing, texting, doing email, music listening.

The trick is configuring a kernel governor to supply horsepower when needed, and more importantly, not supply horsepower when it's not needed.

And for that you'll need to do some leg work - learning what the parameters of a particular governor do, and adjusting to meet your particular needs.

I say this many times, once more won't hurt - it's not hard, it's kinda fun, and you'll get that warm fuzzy feeling knowing you figured something out for yourself - well - with a bit of help from the xda gurus like Franco.

Well, Lost in Space is on, time to crash. Enjoy, and most of all, have fun. If it ain't fun, it ain't good!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] noneabove:
My only problem with aggressive doze is I've noticed it ****s with internet stuff, for example Google Play music will think that I don't have data to play some songs when I have LTE and have been streaming music the whole time, and instagram will fail to refresh my feed until like the 3rd time.. It's weird, happens when I make doze more aggressive with any app, not exclusive to your app at all, just odd.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Are you using the latest Naptime release? When you screen off Doze is disabled so that shouldn't happen. During screen off there's another history.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Momotani-Hitoshi:
I used Amplify to set AnyMotionDetector to 99999 with Naptime aggressive doze. Works wonderfully. Doze works even while in motion.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/3ul7l8/amplify_doze/
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] marbertshere:
Yay anykernel! Thanks, first time flashing your kernel!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] JoKe_42:
Got a battery drain of 0.3%/h while idling over night, now with some usage it's at 0.9%/h and predicts a usage of 3 days (light user). Loving this one!

Stock + r8 + superSU

Regards,
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Devhux:
Mine still does that from time to time with Naptime 1.1 as well. Google Play Store & Facebook seem to be the worst offenders
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sharp87:
any one getting big cores going offline all the time even @34°c temp.. I used to get all 4/4 big cores going offline leaving small cores ones online after flashing r8 and when i reboot 2/4 big cores went offline..

is this happening just for me or any one else ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] EarlZ:
Would 9999999 work?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Momotani-Hitoshi:
Thats what I use was lazy to keep tying 9s
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] guta12:
What app recommend to edit Kernel parameters? And what configuration recommend to Have a good performance and battery?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] noobhero:
dear,guta12, if u spent the time typing the question to read thru the last few pages, you wouldn't have to ask already.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Brembo109:
Thanks [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] for R8 and your efforts with it.

Slight off topic: Is there any way to prevent agressive doze to cut off the connection to any streaming device while streaming music or youtube? After 10 seconds when doze kicks in, the stream goes on (because the device gets the data itself) but the "control" connection from my 6p gets cut off. So when i pick it up again to change music or the video it says "Connection lost. Try again". This happens with all types of streaming devices, i tested it with the standard chromecast, a chromecast audio, a sonos playbar and a lg smartTV. If this its just the way it goes with agressive doze i will disable it as long as i stream and re-enable it afterwards, but i thought i mention it here.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] shawnaye:
Does anyone use whatsapp?

My whatsapp occasionally gets delayed.

So far what I've done is to set doze to not optimize whatsapp.

I was wondering if I use naptime for aggressive doze, would it affect my instant messages.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] noneabove:
This is usually after coming back from an aggressive doze, but I'll give it another shot. That said, I don't think aggressive doze will do much for me since my phone is almost always in my pocket, but either way it night give a tiny amount of savings
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] roaddaw9:
Anyone point me in this thread to the best battery settings to set?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hughfollett:
The best settings are already set by default by Franco. You could play with settings, but I don't see the point in lowering performance for half an hour of SOT. People here are using NapTime too, to tweak the doze settings

Inviato dal mio Nexus 6P utilizzando Tapatalk
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] roaddaw9:
I was thinking I would at least want to play with the wake lock settings. But will try it for a few days and see how things go.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
If you're having a high count of these wakelocks you can disable them. The wlan wakelocks can rape your battery if you're on a crowded network.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] troyolson92:
Franco need a setting between performance and balanced or maybe a 5 point slider. Scrolling lags under balanced. I'm more about performance than battery especially with this phone as it charges so fast. Performance is extreme case and not for full time use. Need a full time performance orientated profile. I am tweaking but would perfer a profile tweaked by the master.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Then set it to Performance and change the parameters you wanna mess with manually. I'm not going to introduce more profiles or allow them to be edited since the whole point was to make them SO easy that even my old grandmothers could use them without calling me for help.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] troyolson92:
You can tune I/O parameters in your paid app, or governor. Maybe a app setting like advanced would solve the ease of use.

Edit:

Using noop I/O eliminated the scrolling lag.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mattkroeder:
This might be a dumb question but will activating aggressive doze in Naptime also kill apps in use when screen is turned off? For example, if I'm in a skype call but turn the screen off.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] CaspaTheGhost:
Glanced at the thread and now I have R8 flashed, I'm an hour of SOT in and sitting at 90% all with a beautiful 6500k tuned screen... Cheers both... ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Placebo.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
You're ducking welcome.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] XavierD8188:
Really glad you decided to support system root.. Was using another kernel that shall remain nameless but You've got me.. I'll be buying your app to show support as well..
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Subiegsr:
Curious what the change log is for r8? Don't see it on the link.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Changelog, it is his Github. Great resource any time someone puts it in the OP, as you can see the changes in real time.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Tehpdub:
I think it messes with your GPS though.. So, if you were to misplace your phone it would be hard to track down.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Momotani-Hitoshi:
I tried locating my device via Cerberus, works for me. I'll keep testing.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Tehpdub:
Yeah I tried the same on Cerberus, it puts me a mile or 2 away from when i actually am I need to test some more also
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] betovanbuuren:
dt2w is enabled with this kernel?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
I don't believe it is enabled by default but you can enable through FKUpdater or a free alternative like Kernel Adiutor.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Badger50:
Yes it is. Works great as well.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Tehpdub:
yeah just tested it, does the same. Puts me away from my house.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Great, now NSA won't find you ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Tehpdub:
Ha-ha a 1.8 mile head start.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] carelockh:
Thank you franco for your continued hard work on this wonderful kernel, been using it with Chroma rom very satisfied. :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mentallo:
Franco, could you please make an option in the FKupdater to change the page that opens when you first open the app?

Thanks for all your hard work.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] anonymous-bot:
Is there a color profile to emulate the sRGB mode? Since rebooting your device resets the sRGB dev option, I think it would be nice if there was a similar profile that could be enabled by FKUpdater.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Thanks for the feedback, but why?

Yes, the next release will have 6500K. Dev's options sRGB is independent from the rest of the system/Kernel.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Neo.Collin:
My Phone has been sleeping very well for the last 3-4 days with R7 & Chroma 1/18. I'm still thinking whether to move to R8!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] gianton:
R8 has even better deep sleep stats for me.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
/wave hand you wan't to flash r8
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Neo.Collin:
LOL - May be it would auto-charge :D I wonder if it will go from 100% to 101%
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mentallo:
I would like to have it default to the Kernel settings instead of the update page. It's just more useful to me instead of always looking at the update page which isn't really the reason I would be launching the app in the first place most of the time.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] erraggy:
I know it wasn't stated as fixed, but I had wondered if the game freezes issue was resolved. I flashed r8 and can confirm that Rally Racer Dirt https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sbkgames.rallyracerdirt still freezes.

It's a damn shame I'm addicted to that game.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
That's a compelling argument. I'll think about it :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] HeavySixEight:
I don't post much, but I have been a satisfied user of your kernels and applications since the N4, N5 and now the N6P.

I have been avid reader of XDA for many years and have benefitted greatly from the FREE development and shared knowledge of so many within this community. Especially the Nexus community, and the Franco Kernel user base.

I really thought I should say thank you for everything you have done; for your kernel philosophy, and a "flash and forget" experience that for me, requires no tweaking.

It's great when I flash your kernels to my wifes devices (silly apps and usage) and she's getting better battery life and is super happy with performance as well. This in turn, makes me happy.

Cheers mate... I know I'm ducking welcome.

[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION]

Any ideas why this theme is incompatible with your kernel. No offence meant lol.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kohlewrrk.outray&hl=en

(see its description)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
I think it is because the Theme Engine requires a permissive kernel (on some ROMs) where as Franco ships it with enforcing. Probably not going to change but he will chime in soon enough.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] dsmitty166:
This world be correct.

I'm using outray just fine on screwd with r8 enforcing.

With a permissive ROM, you will need a permissive kernel or you will get theme provider fc. For example aosip will require a permissive kernel
