Something strange happened today after few months of suddenly shut down arround 15% like most ppl with 6p ...today my phone shutdown few second after i was on 1%. Could this be a sign that is a software issue from google?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] joethinksblue:
im on a different rom now and no more misc batttery drain.. same apps same type of use...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
I wasn't aware of the shift to Google+. Thanks for the heads up. I've been on the waiting list for a 128g Pixel XL for months and I'm not sure I even want it anymore because my trust level with Google isn't super high right now. Im thinking about a One Plus but I might ride the 6P for a while longer. Mine spontaneously rebooted a couple times in the last two days. I'm thinking that's probably not a great sign.

Could be. Someone claimed Huawei told them that particular issue was going to be fixed with a Google software update. Maybe they were right. That issue never affected my phone so it can't be completely a software issue.

That's not the kernel included by default with the rom, correct?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Perczzz:
Does anyone have trouble logging into the app "Venmo" ? I cant seem to login with this rom.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] helmetx:
Same here... i had to downgrade to version 3.1.1 and i am able to make it overnight with half a charge while on 6.0 the phone would just be empty pretty quick. Only annoying thing on 3.1.1 is the 37 mb notification update.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
Just for the heck of it I clean installed Cortex 6.00 with Flash Kernel. Guess what? No bizarre, battery draining kernel settings by default. No cores On Demand. No cores offline. No hexacore mode enabled. No wonder the dev has no problems with the new builds but almost everybody else does. I don't know anything about programming, unfortunately, but I can verify that all of the problems I mentioned happen with both the default kernel and Elemental ExKernel. For whatever reason, they do not happen with the Flash's kernel. I doubt that there will be any battery drain now since the kernel settings are balanced and normal.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dice88:
So after a long time I decided to update from January's build since I was having misc drain with the previous build. Dirty flashed 6.0 over January's build and flashed flash kernel and voila no misc battery drain.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] joethinksblue:
same here! feels good to be back to normal :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nighty:
freeze / delete the ota update prozess and the update notification problem is solved.

tomorrow i have my new business phone :) google pixel white 128GB
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
Yes it does! :laugh:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
So far I'm very happy with Cortex 6.00 + flash kernel. The rom is running fast and smooth. SOT is comparable or better than the January build I was staying on. Idle drain is minimal--i lost 2% overnight. I have noticed no bugs or problems of any kind. I think if the dev can't make arrangements to include Flash Kernel by default in the ROM then he should suggest strongly in the ROM description/download page that Cortex users flash that kernel on their own. This is as good of a build of Cortex that I've run. I'm actually happy with my 6P again. Thanks for the good work!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
I'm actually going to reach out to [MENTION=6842057]The Flash[/MENTION] and see if I can get permission to include his kernel in my ROM releases. If I can't, no biggie, I'll just point everybody over to his thread, as I highly recommend his kernel.

I'm not a kernel dev myself, which is mostly why the included kernel in my ROM is stock (with the exception of a few ramdisk tweaks).
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
It really makes a huge difference in the experience of your ROM.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
No permission needed, go for it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Matybg:
Any tweaks guys? I'm running cortex 6.0 with latest flash kernel and hawktail 6p1.2, (touchboost disabled and applying settings on boot) and getting a huge battery leak. Any special configuration for ex kernel and flash? Or any guide to identify rogue apps? (I currently use greenify, naptime and servicely)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Badger50:
Holy cow! I think maybe all your battery draining might be comming from all your anti battery draining apps! Just for the heck of it. Uninstall all 3 of them, install Better Battery Stats from the PS, and run your phone for a day and identify what's causing the loss. Also keep an eye on your CPU cores and make sure they're not going rouge on you.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
I'm running the default settings for Flash Kernel without a profile enabled and am not using any battery saving apps. I'm getting no drain at all. Those apps that you are using could be causing a problem. I didn't find Greenify useful with Doze but that's just me. I would uninstall those apps like the previous person suggested, make sure you are using the latest build of Flash Kernel (a new build was released yesterday) and just try running it with the default settings for a day and see if you still get battery drain. flash's default profile provides good battery life for me as is. If you are still getting battery drain you might have a rogue app or there could be some sort of sync problem with an account on your phone. You could also check your kernel settings and make sure there is nothing weird like On Demand as the default governor for any of your cores (the default profile in Flash is interactive) or hexacore mode enabled or something like that.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Matybg:
I'm on yesterdays version of flash kernel, using ElementalX (also put on default settings, just using glassfish 1.2 profile to try) and already unninstalled all the battery tweaks. I installed BetterBatteryStats to look for rogue apps. I'll return after a day of usage. Thanks for the feedback
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
It sounds counterintuitive, but all the services and background CPU usage of all those "battery saving" apps actually puts MORE of a load on the system, in the end, causing battery drain.

I agree with [MENTION=3730810]Badger50[/MENTION].
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nighty:
now im on v6 with flash kernel ... will test with a preepaid SIM and the normal business Apps
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
I'm working on v6.10. Updated apps, a couple more tweaks, and will include Flash Kernel. I'm currently trying to fix SELinux not getting set as permissive on boot.

I'm on vacation, and helping my girlfriends uncle do some repairs on his troller. Limited time. But I'll try to get it fixed, possible tonight if I get back in time, then I'll upload it. ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Tomv5314:
I am using Cortex rom ver 6.00-7.11 with Elemental kernel. Settings are working properly and sticking. No misc. battery drain. Cortex is running great. Very happy with it. And no problems with Cortex and Elemental EX working together. See attached pics. Phone is in airplane mode because there is no sim in it. This is my backup 6P and my flashing and trial rom phone I am using it on WiFi.. . My other 6P is my daily driver and sim is in it. Still on Marshmallow 6.01-MTC20L. and elemental EX. Need my xposed adaway you tube adaway etc. lol
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
Since your phone has no sim in it, is in airplane mode and is basically running no services it would be kind of amazing if you were actually getting battery drain. Why don't you transfer your sim to that phone, reboot it, use it normally for a full day and then post your results? Surely you can live without xposed for a day?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] giorgiocomba:
Guys I'm having miscellaneous battery drain any idea please ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Badger50:
What kernel are you using? Several have reported that Flash kernel and even Ex seem to work best. Can't tell ya why though :cowboy:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] giorgiocomba:
I was on stock I already flashed flash kernel u recommend me ex ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Badger50:
I'm really not recommending either one. Just reporting what others have said. Also, if you don't have a kernel control app, get one. That way you can see what your CPU cores are doing. There have been reports that the little cluster is fully maxed out, and the big cluster is completely offline , thus causing the drain.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Tomv5314:
I have put the sim in and have charged the phone. I have done numerous reboots and what I found was it DID change on reboot to the performance setting with big clusters off but then.. I have my phone rooted and as SuperSU gave its on boot permissions and it got to EX kernel all my settings went back to where they were set. Interactive and all cores on. I was able to reproduce this many times. I have left the phone as I sleep and for a few hours as I have done things around the house. 2% in ten plus hours.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Tomv5314:

[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
v6.10 is almost ready. Just updating some apps, and going over everything. Not a massive changelog, but will include [MENTION=6842057]The Flash[/MENTION] kernel (3/17 build). Should help with a lot of the battery issues, as well as make the whole system much snappier.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Tomv5314:
Can you put a way to have the choice of stock kernel or flash? maybe a Aroma setup. The way you are going to do it now means we have flash kernel whether we want it or not. ................... see post at end of page 190...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
Unfortunately, maintaining an Aroma setup is more complicated then I have time for. I will likely make two builds. One with FlashKernel, one with stock. OR, make a flashable stock kernel for those that want to return to the basics. I'm still thinking about it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
Changed from this ROM at least temporarily because Substratum stopped working for me. I have no idea why and tried everything I could think of but Substratum themes would keep freezing while compiling. Substratum support for Legacy Mode is poor to nonexistent so I wanted to try a rom with oms. Battery life was much better on Cortex. Will probably end up coming back but I hate not having a dark theme. I'm curious if anybody else has noticed a problem with Substratum. It was working perfectly as recently as a week ago but when the new version of Swift Dark came out last night I started having problems and lost all my existing overlays. Trying different 7.1.1 compatible themes resulted in the same problem--whatever theme I tried to apply would freeze up while compiling overlays for the system apps. Tried many things to get it to work and looked for support on the devs Telegraph page but found no answers and finally gave up.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Tomv5314:
I went back to Substratum Legacy version 551 and it is working again. I saw somewhere not to update past 551 and I still had backup in TB and it is working again I keep Swift Dark updated but do not update Substratum Legacy. I read somewhere versions after 551 no longer work... Hope this helps.

PS .Jhs39 ....... I have been using my backup phone with the sim and Cortex 6.00 and Elemental EX and it is working so well I have decided to make it my daily driver. thanks for the suggestion
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
I actually tried going back to 551 but nothing would actually theme. substratum acted like it had worked but when I rebooted no overlays were actually applied. Not sure why I'm the only one who had a new issue with Substratum but I guess that's life with a 6P.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Tomv5314:
I used support for Android 7.1 and it took me multiple tries cause some apps would not theme and I got the same result you did and each try I narrowed down apps till I found the right apps and it worked. It did take multiple tries though.. I have settings, play store, photos , YouTube. Dark themed..
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
So you deselected all of the apps that Substratum was getting stuck on? I gave up after deselecting two apps and having it get stuck again. Maybe someone will find a fix.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] klamper:
240fps slow motion does not show in the camera app

Cortex 6.0
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigsnack:
I also had issues with the front facing camera not working with the stock app. Replaced it with the newer version of cameraNX and things worked for me.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] A_Mateen10:
Thank you Kind sir. Will try this. :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigsnack:
Android os for the past few days has been using the most. In fact it has been more than on v5, and my battery life is lower too, I barely get 3h SOT while v5got 4 hours of SOT. Do you think integrating the flash kernel(which i am using) by default will add more of a synergy?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] klamper:
Tried using the camera nx 5.5.1 but still 240fps doesn't show
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
5.5.1 is what's included in my ROM. I never use SlowMo, but I can confirm that 240fps doesn't work.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigsnack:
Good to know, but due to front camera issues I installed the standalone version of 5.5.1 via the apk and found it to be faster when using HDR , and my front camera is working again.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] acorneyes:
I have no clue if it's my A/F that's broken or something with the software messing with my camera.

But I bought a Nexus 6P with a rear camera that would not focus, I believed that I could just buy a replacement camera so I did. But when the phone arrived the camera was totally fine.

I then decided to install this ROM, but as soon as I did my camera stopped focusing. The same problem as the eBay listing said, but that problem DID go away.

Could it be a small fix in 7.1.2 that let my camera focus? Or just something wrong in the ROM? Or does that sound more like a A/F problem (even though it worked after it did not [I never tested the camera before updating from 7.1.1 to 7.1.2].)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] klamper:
Would it be included in your future releases ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
Modded adfree YouTube apk found on XDA, adaway app works fine on N. Ez game, haven't used xposed in a few years prob and haven't missed it. Uness there is something else specific you use it for you aren't mentioning.

---------- Post added at 01:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ----------

What's wrong with simply flashing the kernel you prefer after flashing Rom rather than asking dev to do extra unnecessary work? I mean it takes 10 secs to flash a kernel after ROM, unless I'm missing something. If I am, apologies.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
Likely, yes.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
I'm in the middle of making v7.00, based on 7.1.2 DP2. Might be out tomorrow.

Those of you who have tested the Dev Preview, how are you doing with battery, and misc drain? Are the issues still present?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
Also, I will have an EXTREME ALPHA build of CortexROM based on the Android O factory image, as well as (hopefully) rooted. Its not as heavily tweaked as my stable builds, but hopefully some of you will get to taste some O early!

BE WARNED! I have NO idea what this will do to your phone! I would think you could easily roll back to a Nougat build like normal in TWRP, but I COULD be wrong. I would HIGHLY suggest you back up ALL of your phones contents before attempting to go forward with testing Cortex-O.

I'll upload my test build once its done zipping up......
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
Now is your chance to test out a very early build of Android O!

[Nexus 6P Android Development] reverex:
I have a similar problem to you my friend and my biggest gripe is that my phone turns of at exactly 50%. i don't know ifs a thermal thing or just the cold weather. But i when i was on Cortex i would have a massive 76% misc drain.

Unfortunately This is XDA 2017. Too much to make the littlest smallest effort to read a few pages b4 posting. Not picking on anyone specific, it happens all over this site, this is just the next example of it, and it stinks, and no matter how many times posts like yours or mine are made, it doesn't help unfortunately. There is % of ppl that are responsible users, reading op/reading most recent few pages, even using search, BEFORE posting a question, but there is a Smaller % of users who DO NOT do this. They simply jump in and asked something, regardless if its in the op or it was JUST mentioned, to them, instead of taking a few minutes to read, theyd rather post and wait for an answer from someone, i just don't get it. Its super frustrating. If a certain amount of users can do this, they should
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dntipwn:
Hey Chevy I'm no pro here but if these guys are getting bootloops it's most likely due to kernel panics that chainfire pointed out. He posted a second root that has a 15sec delay which solved boot loops for me when I flashed O on my own.

If any one gets a bootloops try to flash the 15sec delay SuperSU from this link and report back. https://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133/post71561057
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
Yes, I always remove forced encryption. Lost all my data a few times before. Not going to do that again. lol. The root included in this has a 15 second delay, which should help with some of the issues.

Of course, the whole thing might be broken. Can someone let me know if they managed to safely install this O build, wipe, restore an old 7.1.2/7.1.1 build, and have everything work as usual?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tarun123t:
Hey Chevy I can't get it too boot, I flashed radio,bootloader and vendor IMG for Android O using fastboot and flashed the rom using TWRP. It is boot looping and sometimes it boots into reocvery.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] WelcomeToTheSkye:
edit: nvm ignore this
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
It's very possible that it won't boot. I was a little wary about trying it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
My test O-ROM has the root with delay in it already.

I assume it's just as easy to flash back to 7.1.2 of the O install fails?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tarun123t:
No problem! Happy to help
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dntipwn:
Ok I wasnt sure. I was on stock Of and when I rooted with SuperSU it would boot like 5-10secs of the animation, vibrate and freeze up and then reboot. As soon as I flashed the fix I had no problems.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
Was that my ROM build, or factory image?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dntipwn:
Sorry factory image
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
Gotcha. I MIGHT know what's wrong with my build. Going to be a busy afternoon so I'll upload my stable release of 7.1.2 today (been running it since yesterday).
[Nexus 6P Android Development] zborn:
I was thinking abouf the same. I've been dealing with xda since the days of the galaxy 1. Back then, people actully had to dig out for info and we all learned and helped each other, but nobody was lazy. We all had the will to read and learn new things. These people now, as you said, just want the easy way: post and wait for someone to answer even though a quick google search can just throw a good result or maybe when the answer was like one or two posts above...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] XxXorganXxX:
All good on the latest 7.00 with Flash kernel. Thanks for your hard work.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jetsman:
Flash the I vendor image for this after flashing the ROM?

Nope. Vendor is always included in my ROMs.

please is substratum work with cortex 7.00 ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ardiesel:
Really don't understand why you won't add the oms7 commits so we can use substratum with your most excellent and amazing ROM?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] coremania:

[Nexus 6P Android Development] jetsman:
Ok thank you. I've tried installing both through TWRP and will not install... Maybe bad download???
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dephsone:
Because stock based ROMs are not compatible with OMS.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] coremania:
Does the O pixel launcher doesn't support weather in the bar, I set permissions, but nothing appears?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ardiesel:
ok, let me slow it down for you. If someone has ROM source, and builds a ROM from ROM source, then they can add the commits they need. But if you have stock images, or zips, you couldn't. Obviously. Apparently whoever that is doesn't know WTF they are talking about if they build a ROM from source manually like most all custom ROMs do and thinks they can't use the commits. Time to find another rom

Quoted from a substratum developer.

---------- Post added at 07:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ----------

So again I ask, if you're in fact building this manually, and countless people keep asking for substratum capabilities, why don't you just add them in? I mean you're a very skilled developer, you're ROM is almost not matched by anyone but Ground Zero, Resurrection Remix, Cyanide, Nitrogen and well a few others actually..never mind that..why not just give your followers an extra boom to look forward to? Oh and start a Google Plus community..thanks
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigsnack:
What is the version number for the bootloader on 7.1.2? Is it 3.67?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
This Rom is not built from scratch. Aosp Roms are built from scratch. Cortex is a stock based Rom which means it is built by tweaking and adding elements to the Google stock image. OMS commits are not compatible with Google's stock image. I don't pretend to know zip about programming but I do know the difference between a stock based Rom and an Aosp based Rom.
