Also, is it bad to have BBS and GSAM installed at the same time? Do they interfere with each other?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Badger50:
Not bad, and they don't interfere. 2 just sucks more juice than one.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] lainemac:
I'm having problems with haptic feeback sticking as well. Other settings stick though.

[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] - while someone brought out the topic of widgets, would you consider reducing the padding on the current widget?

While widget development may be a pita, it would be super worth if there exists one for display profile :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sacredsoul:
If I am upgrading my Chroma to the latest version (on FK R9 currently), can I just flash the R9 immediately after flashing Chroma? Do I have to flash anything before??
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Just flash r9.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I can't promise a new widget, but yes I can fix the perf profiles widget layout.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] angelky:
I'm currently using Pure Nexus with ElementalX, so is there anything I need to be careful if I flash Franco? Or, I just go and flash it will be all good? Because it's time to update my Pure Nexus rom, so at the time I would like to try Franco and see how it goes :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Tzfardaya:
I'm assuming the upgrade includes it's own kernel? If so, just upgrade then flash Franco... If not, dirty flash your rom to return to its stock kernel, then flash Franco...
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ragnarokx:
I didn't see a response from the person you asked, but I was confused as well. I was on stock ROM + stock kernel with systemless root when flashing r9. Your instructions seem to assume anyone flashing is already on some version of your kernel, but I was not. I flashed stock boot.img before your kernel to be safe. Could I have just flashed the kernel? What about coming from other custom kernels?

Thanks for your work, been a Franco user since Nexus S.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Thanks for the feedback. If you're 100% stock you can just flash r9! I'll update the instructions.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Rocio19:
Getting amazing battery life with Pure Nexus and FK r9! Thank you so much Franco, you're ducking awesome! :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] roaddaw9:
So r9 has rebooted on me couple times. Might have to go back to r7, found that to be a lot more stable then r8 or r9
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Or you could help resolve the issue by grabbing the contents of your /sys/fs/pstore folder whenever that happens so Franco can fix it.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] roaddaw9:
Either A you have to root to get the contents which I am not or B mine is just empty. But if their are ways to get it happy to help.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Prattham:
So anyone here to complain about battery life? :sly:

On pure nexus with stock franco settings

Cheers ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Rocio19:
Lol I posted a screenshot praising battery life too. Question, which font is that? :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I had a panic yesterday too. There's a crash somewhere triggered by ksmd inside rb_reset(). I'm trying to understand.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] roaddaw9:
Anything I can provide you to help? I am not rooted but will give you whatever logs I can.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Nah, I have the logs, grabbed them as soon as phone booted up from the panic.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] XavierD8188:
Yeah, I'm getting the about the same with stock settings.. At about 3 hrs with 52% left.. I'm absolutely amazed.. Previous Kernel that shall remain nameless, I'd have 3 hrs with 25% left with similar usage
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:

[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] --

1. Would you think it's a wise idea if you were to add a custom performance profile option apart from the 3 default available?

2. An option to disable either of the clusters in the above 'custom' profile and also in PAM.

Use case: Lets say I'm reading something in books. I Don't need anything more that 2 or 4 low power cores. So.. PAM Option to disable the high power cluster. (And optionally disable cores within a cluster)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Prattham:
It is from cm theme doodle ui

Cheers ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
1 - Nope. I made those 3 built-in profiles for a reason, something that even my grandmother could use. And the good thing for me is that they are built-in directly to the ramdisk, so I have like 0 maintenance and it's SO EASY for me to toggle between them. I don't wanna introduce complexity

2 - Yes, that's a good idea.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] EarlZ:
Im no expert but maybe by having the high power cores stopped unless they are needed for heavy lifting might save some battery life or is the 810 design to have them running at all times??
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] blueren:
Thanks! Would love to see such an option i the future!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] roaddaw9:
Went back to r8, just seems to be more stable. Don't get me wrong, Franco does awesome work.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] snovvman:
I haven't seen any reliability issues with R9. I recall reading in the change log that R9 contains some reliability improvements.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] hosmsdos:
Hey franco.

Can you please add vibration intensity for the notification as well?

Vibration in app only controls soft keys correct?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Prattham:
You can use diff. App for that

I use ex kernel manager

Sorry if i cannot list anyone's app

Cheers ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] lainemac:
So if I'm stock and flash a different custom kernel do I need to flash both the system and boot img before flashing Franco?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Badger50:
Just the boot.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ahoslc:
Hey Franco now that someone ported a F2FS enable recovery for our device does your kernel support it?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Ranguvar:
They are in a deep idle state that uses little to no power and allows them to online very quickly.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] pradipsoman:
Some random reboots for me too...with r-9
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] MrDeacon:
Not a single reboot here. I've not touched anything related to CPU or thermal settings, though. Rock solid and buttery smooth.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] roaddaw9:
I went to back to R8 actually, so far so good with no hiccups to speak of
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] diomark:
R9 - went back to stock after seeing a weird issue. Lower quarter of mg lcd stopped being responsive (didn't respond to my touch) - rebooting it fixed the issue.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Nocturnal86:
Issue with FKU?

Franco,

I seem to be getting FKU crashing and "stopped working" while switching out of Per App Modes and seemingly into PAM's. It happened immediately after installing the new FKU update, but I then cleared data and everything worked perfectly. However it started happening again a few times now between a couple days and I have to clear data and reset all my settings manually to get up and running. Any Idea why that would happen?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] 2006yamahaR6:
I was able to get it to charge my device, and get my device to recognize a flashdrive I plugged into it, but not both simultaneously. I read elsewhere that it is possible, but requires using a different kernel from stock. Any ideas on what kernels I could try or what changes I could make to get it to work?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Mr Djoegoe:
Just flashed this kernel and I have a couple questions about the settings in the Franco app.

When I turn on the first 4 toggles in cpu manager is that the same speed as when I choose 'power saving' in the per app settings?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
You can change vibration intensity inside Kernel settings. The Kernel doesn't know what is a notification, the vibration of it is controlled from userspace so the value you can tweak here is the general strength of the vibration motor.

Ok.

**** happens :)

Thanks, I'll check.

I haven't seen any custom Kernel with that change. I don't know much about that anyway, sorry.

What do you mean the first 4 toggles? I don't really understand the question.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Mr Djoegoe:
I mean the toggles where you change the low/high cluster, is that the same speed as when I choose power saving in the per app settings?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TyrellP:
I'm on the stock ROM with Elementalx as my kernel, can I just flash Franco on top of it?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
No, flash the stock boot.img then FK.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TyrellP:
OK, I'm sort of new to this. So I get the factory image from Google, flash it, and then flash Franco? Will I have to do a full wipe of my data?

Also just out of curiosity what would happen if I just flashed it on top of elemental?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Just grab the boot.img from the factory image, it is inside the image zip inside the .tgz file and flash that. No, you don't need to wipe your data.

Some features may not work because you are combining ramdisk edits of two custom kernels.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TyrellP:
Thanks for the informative information!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
But I don't understand your question. What do you mean with "same speed as when I choose power saving"?

I think you can just flash on top, don't think Elementalx tweaks the ramdisk, but in doubt I always recommend flashing stock boot.img first to avoid ****.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Nocturnal86:
Are 2 of the hi power Cores supposed to offline and online as needed? I have core 6/8 coming off and on at various times. I haven't checked cores in a while but right now after flashing latest 6.0.1 patch then flashing then systemless 2.67 and finally flashing r9 it shows this behavior.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
They only go offline due to thermals and if your battery goes belong a certain %. Same behaviour as stock.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Nocturnal86:
Oh ok I think that's what it might be since my phone is pretty warm after all that stuff I did to it. Its at 52 percent so I'll let it cool down and charge it and see if it goes away as it should. Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] misterblonde:
I think It's amazing battery life

Stock + franco r9 + xposed +gnow

No problem at all

Keep up the good work [emoji106]

How can I install the February update?

I'm with TWRP Recovery and R9 and I flash custon boot and custon recovery to install the February OTA but my phone it's always in Google start Logo
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] roaddaw9:
Apply the Feb update by downloading the factory image. Reapply recovery, reapply kernel.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Neo.Collin:
I'm going to lay it clean! I got 9 hrs 100% on sleep battery with R9 and then I went fully stock for "good for enterprise" use and i went to sleep at 2330 and woke up at 0630 and my battery was 99% and with heavy usage of "GFE", now at 1915, i'm at 48%! Now that i've done the same for 3 days. I found another app that actually helps use work email, so can go back to custom!!!

Now I'm thinkin - should I!! But then I should add, the use with wifi is BIG drain on stock but less with R9 :)...
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] eme2:
Thats what I do

Reinstall Recovery and kernel from stock factory Imagen but when I reboot I only get the Google Logo.

I had to reinstall system and vendor too, reboot install the OTA and root again

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] roaddaw9:
I always apply everything minus replacing userdata. Just a habit
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ChronoReverse:
In case you're curious, stock behavior appears to be as follows:

Big Core:

1344MHz 4th core off @41-42C

960MHz 2nd 4th core off @42-43C

All cores off@>43C

Little Core:

1344MHz@43-44C

1248MHz@44-45C

960MHz@45-46C

The sensor is msm_therm
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] TyrellP:
Just one more question, is it going to affect xposed if I flash the boot img
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
It shouldn't since you aren't modifying system.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Franzie3:
Might be a silly question but I wanted to throw it out there.

i;ve noticed some battery drain in regards to Wifi. now oddly enough, my wifi is turned OFF, not set to scan, nothing. Flat out off. Yet, my battery stats from the OS show it being my worst offender with a 7% drain and using 433mah, im baffled.

BBS has me at 7H10M of up time with 1h24min of awake time at 35min of SOT. Besides the typical bluesleep wakelock, GP Services, and power service. the next biggest culprits are under process (System) and under alarms (android).

Over to wakelock detector....

Under alarms. phone Services shows a huge wakelock (61 times) for System(radio). everything else i see is typical.

Anyone ever see anything like this or maybe know what i should look at?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Low signal?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] EarlZ:
Hi Fanco,

Any sneak peak bits for the next version of the app or R10 :D
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] kvirus11:
Mr Franco kernel maestro,

*****ing thank you for another amazing piece of work!

My phone sips battery like a highfalutin family sips tea at a polo match.

Excellent work as always, and the app is priceless. A must have with your kernel.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Franzie3:
Unfortunately no....good if not great signal....always LTE....just so weird it says WiFi when anything WiFi related is off
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] eluspo:
So basically just flash stock recovery and kernel then get the update and then go back to fk?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] roaddaw9:
I personally leave everything as is, download and manually flash new update, reapply recovery, reapply kernel. I don't wait for ota.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Go to FKUpdater and disable all WLAN wakelocks. Let us know what happens.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
I have nothing really new for now :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Franzie3:
They already are. Might try to clear my cache and reboot when I throw it on the charger tonight. Its weird Wonder if its an issue from latest aosp branch. If I can't get it under control by the weekend I'll clean flash a ROM again
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Good luck!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] JazzMozz:
Could it be a misreading by your phone? I have a similar issue. GSAM shows me a huge drain (sometimes nearly 65%) by mediaserver. Yet other stats apps like BBS, Wakelock Detector and the stock app don't list this process as a big drainer (if at all). I tried to nail down the cause of this reading by GSAM but I've given up and just accept that it's there.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] AngelxCasas:
Guys, best configuration or tips to get best battery life with Pure Nexus and this Kernel? In general.

(Single problem, not about the question)

I'm using a wireless bluetooth headphones and one android wear watch, and when I'm listening to my music battery drops a little bit fast. Any idea to save some battery?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
What were you expecting? There's no such thing as magic, not only are you connected to two peripherals via BT but you're listening to music to the BT headphones and I can almost guess you're streaming it through 4G or Wi-Fi.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] AngelxCasas:
Na , offline music, and I'm expecting good battery life like other guys posting their great battery performance , and I want one like that. I mean I use the wireless headphones like 1 hour and my battery drop like 10 % and I don't know if it is normal.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
If anyone needs for future reference, I'll be hosting stock boot.imgs here: http://kernels.franco-lnx.net/Nexus6P/6.0/stock/

I'll add it to the OP tomorrow.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
With that usage yes it's kinda normal and I already squeezed as much as possible.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] AngelxCasas:
Oh well I was pretty worried (first time using bluetooth devices) thank you :) im gonna see how muy battery gets in few days, just flashed pure and your kernel yesterday

And I notices a little improvement to be honest, and its cool if I understand this, after a new flash, battery is gonna be better with the first days right?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sjknight413:
I think it's a rom issue, are you on PN by any chance? I had this yesterday but a full wipe and reflash fixed it. Never seemed to be actually draining that much battery though, looked like a glitch in battery stats.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] thagringo:
[MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION] : as someone suggested previously would it be possible to have a test kernel where we can offline completely the BIG Cluster ( or little, or both) to see if it makes a difference ?

i spend lots of time reading and listening to music and the little cluster should be more than enough for that, would be interesting to see if it actually drains less with the BIG ones offlined.

thanks for your time !
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Arunabh:
No use!

Why do you want to cripple your phones potential like that?

Just use per app modes in fkupdater and set it however you want to. Simple!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] eluspo:
If i return to stock recovery and kernel, can i now ota update even when im still rooted?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] thagringo:
my point is that i think it would be interesting to know if we can save juice by only using the little cluster for light tasks as described above.

if it doesnt make a difference then its pointless of course, maybe Francisco has already made some tests ?

per app modes doesnt allow to offline cores IIRC.

cheers
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Franzie3:
I cleared cache this morning, i'll see if that helps. I'm on Chroma, which i know is different from PN, but still AOSP based. I'll see what comes of it.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] roaddaw9:
You cannot take the OTA while rooted. You must be 100% stock. I would suggest manually applying the update via the factory image method.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Arunabh:
Thanks alot for that.

I've bookmarked it.

Could you please also do this for shamu? That would be awesome!

I just checked the nexus 6 folder and doesn't seem like you've done it for n6 yet!

PS: this is only a humble request!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
There aren't really that many benefits of offlinning the big cluster. When not in use they are in a deep idle state wasting almost to no energy.

If you're using System-less root without any system modification, yes.

Yes.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] d1ez3:
Has anyone had an issue with phone turning off randomly. I reflashed pure nexus and r9 cleanly but my phone just turned off while listening to music. Happened before just sitting idle on desk, tried to wake it but it was off
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] EarlZ:
No reboots or crashes here so far on r9
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] farfromovin:
I've ran r9 since getting my 6p 6 days ago and not a single issue. Glad to be back with Nexus devices and glad Francisco Franco is here too!

Pretty wicked battery life here Franco! That was on pure nexus but iv just flashed stock rooted and your kernel gonna see if I have any difference. Thank you for your work!

just got my N6P and root it today, loaded with Pure Nexus and Franco Kernel, been out of Nexus family so far so good, snappy ass $hi7, thanks [MENTION=3292224]franciscofranco[/MENTION], ill bee posting my pics as soon I depleted my battery.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] motoridersd:
My battery is not brag-worthy most of the time, but I spend most of my day in low signal spots with Anroid Wear and about an hour of WiFi Tethering and GPS while in the car. If it wasn't for your kernel, I'd barely make it to 2 hours SoT and I can get to 3 by 3 PM with no problem. You f*ng rock! :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] sjknight413:
Just switched over to r9 to test it for a while Franco, seems nice and smooth so far.

How does the cpu scale frequencies may I ask? I notice that the little cluster jumps between 384mhz and 1555mhz upon touch and doesn't scale much inbetween but I'm specifically asking about the big cluster as there's no way to view frequency history of it in your app! Is it set to scale up and get used often?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] franciscofranco:
Awesome!!!

Frequencies scale normally based on load. Low power cluster is boosted to max when you touch the display for 300ms. The big cluster won't be boosted on touch unless it has runnable threads running. Stock boosts both big and little clusters on touch regardless. Stock boosts little by 1.5s and big to 0.5s. Other than touch scenarios cpu freqs scale based on load.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] geoff5093:
Anyone can get 4 hours of SOT, but it's not common to go two full days with over 4.5 hours of SOT. Sleeps like a dream.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] seniorstew:
We need more updates to fk updater because I ****ing love your changelog comments on the play store ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] blueren:
Franco, would there be any foreseeable fix to this?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] inimaitimepass:
100% to 8% - 2 days; 6:23hrs SOT.

I've had similar yields previously with interactive governor tuning. But the attached yields here are with complete stock r9; this is despite the official Facebook app sipping almost 25% battery.

Configs: Adaptive brightness at ~60%, GPS device only, Data always on, Sync always on.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] berg82:
Battery life and performance is brilliant with Franco, as usual. One question tough, I think my location accuaracy is a bit more inaccurate in doze mode. If I look at my Google maps timeline, I can see that my location has jumped around a bit during the night, compared to stock kernel.
