[Nexus 6P General] shadowstep:
This is ONLY needed in case you are switching between profiles which are based on a different governor than the one you're currently on, because once you load a new profile based on a different governor the first time, it might not be able to change the governor AND set custom settings for that governor in parallel. Hence, it is recommended to apply the profile for the second time, which takes care of the custom settings for the new governor.

Since all the updated profiles are based on the interactive governor only, you should be good with applying the profile once. :)
[Nexus 6P General] leondestiny:
thanks , yes i noticed most of the profiles use interactive.

last thing i need to know is, in the CPU /CPU Options, do i have to enable/apply these two on reboot as well > cpu cores and hexacore mode < or not ?
[Nexus 6P General] flunk03:
Hexacore mode is optional and it'll make your chip behave like a snapdragon 808. And the interactive profiles over here are designed for the 810 so I would recommend not enabling it
[Nexus 6P General] NBAPwns:
do i need hotplug and hexacore mode both enabled using Flash profile?
[Nexus 6P General] E30Nova:
Ooooh, is this a performance based profile or more of a battery based profile?
[Nexus 6P General] Shockz:

[Nexus 6P General] E30Nova:
Thanks!
[Nexus 6P General] flunk03:
Would not recommend using the Hexacore mode. As for hotolugging you could give it a shot and let us know what's your results are like.
[Nexus 6P General] n1729m:
For me, battery life is good. Flash kernel with flash profile, hexacore mode and hotplugged.
[Nexus 6P General] Sheetzie03:
Cool. I'm also sticking with Flash. Some said it's laggy, have you noticed that?

P.s. why are you still using the official fb app? Your phone hates you cut that. What an awful optimized application.

---------- Post added at 08:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 AM ----------

I see you've wised and you are NOT using the official Fb app
[Nexus 6P General] n1729m:
Definately flash profile is not laggy, atleast for me. Yeah planning to uninstall fb app. And mainly I use small cores for normal tasks.
[Nexus 6P General] Sheetzie03:
Cool cool. Thanks

Yeah I think there are some thirty party much lighter options worth a look or I simply use the mobile version or you could try something like Hermit from the play store.

Good luck

[MENTION=6842057]The Flash[/MENTION] Your Kernel Profile is amazing! Just flashed the latest flash kernel and used the profile and boom! Also should I mess the with i/o and readahead or keep it stock flash kernel?
[Nexus 6P General] kyzn:
I've also been trying out [MENTION=6842057]The Flash[/MENTION] profile for a few days now. It doesn't really stand out from my favorites, kinda sits in the middle of DragonFly's smooth responsiveness to the great idling coolness of BlackPepper. I do get the around the same amount of SOT as DragonFly, around 5+ hours. I don't do a lot of system heavy use, mostly it's just Spotify + ARISE and socials. And no conservation - high accuracy, sync, all CPUs, stock frequencies.

It's up to you, I use Maple at 512kb
[Nexus 6P General] Musa95:
Hi guys, im having some problems here, im using EX with PN on 7.0, and no matter what profile, my phone in some time will change the parameters to little core on constant max freq and turn off big core, this is causing my phone to heat up a lot and my batrery is dying really quick, what could be the problem? I can't find an app that causes this with bbs

[Nexus 6P General] troyolson92:
I have had exact same problem. Tried everything to fix. Even without any of my apps it's the same. I haven't found a solution yet. I've just been dealing with it and constant reboots.
[Nexus 6P General] Musa95:
Had no reboots yet, but the cpu problem is persistent, maybe kernel or rom related? Are you on EX or PN too?

[Nexus 6P General] troyolson92:

[Nexus 6P General] Musa95:
Probably rom related, tomorrow will flash back stock and report

[Nexus 6P General] flunk03:
Could you install any wakelock detector and see if there any rogue apps causing any issues? Also what settings are you running on ex? It is possible that incorrect settings on the kernel can cause reboots.
[Nexus 6P General] madsurgeon:
do you have busybox installed?
[Nexus 6P General] troyolson92:
BusyBox is installed. Tasker works, titanium backup works both I think require BusyBox for some functions.

I have reinstalled elemental kernel several times, no fix.

[Nexus 6P General] shadowstep:
Hello peeps! It's been a while since this thread has had some action, so let's change that up. Those who keep up with the same thread for our younger brother Nexus 5X (bullhead) would know that [MENTION=4752299]Alcolawl[/MENTION], in collaboration with [MENTION=2489052]NYCHitman1[/MENTION] has released a new profile (based on impulse and ironactive governors) here.

Since the profile utilizes frequencies from the 5X, I decided to adapt it for the 6P and post the attachments. I've done that now and you can download the attachments from this post here.

Feel free to take it for a spin and see how it works for you! :)
[Nexus 6P General] ffplayerviii:
Will this work with elemental x 4.0 kernel for 7.1.1dp? It doesn't have those 2 governors(impulse, ironactive), thanks
[Nexus 6P General] shadowstep:
No, it won't. The tweaks are only for kernels that have the impulse as well as ironactive governor. Android version is not an issue though, and it will work across all the current versions of Android, as long as the kernel has those two governors.
[Nexus 6P General] snoprosledneck88:
Taking it for a spin now. Don't know how impulse handles big.little cores but we will see. Thanks
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
Which kernel ?
[Nexus 6P General] shadowstep:
I've been using it for a couple of hours, and keeping a tab of the frequency distribution table in EXKM. It's a nice pattern for my usage, at least till now. Let's see how it fairs for a few days.

Flash Kernel has impulse and ironactive governors. :)
[Nexus 6P General] snoprosledneck88:
Flash 3.15
[Nexus 6P General] Hateware:
Man, I loved your work with AlphaBat_v116 profile in the past on Pure Nexus MM, any plan to port or rework it for Nougat?
[Nexus 6P General] snoprosledneck88:
You can use it on Nougat. Profiles are not Android version specific.
[Nexus 6P General] Daandofreak:
Using new profile right now really good performance and battery.
[Nexus 6P General] weazie:
Running now with pn newest & flash kernel. Thanks for porting! :)
[Nexus 6P General] mikeygeer:
Nitrogen Rom / Angler / Flash Kernel 3.15

EXKM profile: DrunkSauce 6p --> Sleeps very well. Flat lines with steady performance. (I set min values to 302 MHz)

Anyone have IO suggestion? Currently using Maple 512
[Nexus 6P General] DocteurN:
Same ROM, kernel and EXKM profile. I'm using Maple 512 for IO too.

Why min values to 302 MHz?
[Nexus 6P General] mikeygeer:
Lowering frequency I figured meant less power used when the cores are running in lowest frequency. I usually tune the profiles conservatively since the 6p is generally fast enough for my use.

I am going to try hotplugging this profile to see if it's worthwhile
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
Someone posted here and explained quite well

If you apply physics then yes lower freq means less power used but the cpu of 6p is designed in such a way that any thing less than 633 or 384 which js default uses that same power which means delaying the task and still using same powers

So basically you are not benefiting from it but it may have an impact on idle drain though

Cheers
[Nexus 6P General] weazie:
3h30 min SOT and 30% battery left. Brightness at 50%. Overnight idle drain was -4%, might be some other factors at play than the profile - I just changed to Nougat and haven't optimized everything. Performance is really fluid.

Edit: Final SOT score 5h on the dot. :D
[Nexus 6P General] vladniko:
Are you using anything like greenify or Naptime?
[Nexus 6P General] weazie:
Nope.
[Nexus 6P General] vladniko:
Did you screenshot the battery settings page with the line graph? I'd like to know if you got 5h SOT all in one sitting, like keeping your screen on, or was it spread across one day?
[Nexus 6P General] weazie:
Unfortunately I did not get a screenshot this time, I'm sorry. No, not in one go, spread across a little less than a 24h. I slept, at that moment battery was 75% (with 1h 24min SOT) and in the morning it was 71%.

My steps: Clean flashed PN Rom, Flash kernel, then I saw this DrunkSauce profile, I chose the Normal Frequencies one, applied it two times so that it was indeed properly there and that was it. No other tweaks which would affect battery. No hotplugging or others. Umm, I have adaptive brightness and Ambient display turned off. And Automatic updates off from Developer Options.
[Nexus 6P General] Jability:
Thank you very much, taking it for a spin right about now.

Does anybody know why I can't seem to install this profile as a su.d script ?

Downloaded the init.d script in /su/su.d, changed permissions to 0755 but no settings have been applied after boot.

I currently use it thanks to the profile in EXKM but would really prefer the init.d implementation.
[Nexus 6P General] Xewyph:
Okay... I've installed HawkTale three days ago and... Well, it's worse than before. I mean, i didn't get any battery life, it just drain more ! I saw that people mostly had 4+ jours SOT with HawkTale, and i can't even get to 3h SOT !

What's wrong ? :(

im a noob in terms of kernel settings. Im using the DP 7.1.1 with elite kernel. Mostly im on twitter and other social media sites, can anyone suggest a good profile and kernel settings for my kind of usage, im not a gamer. If i have to change the kernel also i dont mind. But mostly i need something that is battery friendly , i kind find the 3hrs SOT im getting to be too low

Hey Mate

it's not difficult...:D

the input boost freq...you can find it in the EXKM app from flar2...in cpu section

and my config is all disable the unneeded stuff you not use...

for me ....i don't use google now...and so on

disable ---> NFC,GPS,daydream ,cell broadcast,adaptive brightness(i have it on ~ 10-15%manuall, and i use High Brightness Mode Widget from Flar2)

go to settings-->accounts--google.....and disable all sync stuff...(i do it for me once per week..or so.....

then go back ....press 3dot menu in accounts and disable Auto-sync data

settings-->backup&reset...disable all

load the drunk_sauce profile ....(i'm on flash kernel) and thats it .....set scheduler to maple 512kb

rest i posted above ....see screens

try it and report

cheers
[Nexus 6P General] biglo:
Im new to the whole to the profile game a bit and it looks like I'm missing a lot of action! Can you guess recommend me the best profile you have had success with in terms of just better battery life. Performance really doesn't matter for me as I'm not really a gamer or high intensity user.

GlassFish has been the best for me for battery life. I've tried others, including drunksauce and Saber v2, but GlassFish consistently produces the best battery life on my device.

New to this, just to be clear do all I need to do is load profile under Governor Options (EX Kernel Manager) and disable touch boost? Do I need to press the power icons next to Cpu Coverner/Big Cluster or anything else?
[Nexus 6P General] shadowstep:
Please read this post.
[Nexus 6P General] biglo:
This seems to be the winner for me. My phone runs nice and cool all this with this. My screen on time was always like 4+ hours but with this am able to get my nice flat doze lines and low idle battery drain. I'm now ending the day with 25% instead of charging when I get home from work.

---------- Post added at 06:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 AM ----------

Correct, you can turn on the power button next to the touch boost after you disable it so the app with disable touch boost automatically Everytime you reboot.

In the signature of [MENTION=4151089]xperator[/MENTION]

You can try all his profiles

Dragonfly pure performance

Saber v2 pure battery with compromise on performance

Excalibur balanced i would say

But give a try to all profiles and see what suits you the best

[Nexus 6P General] xperator:
It's not good enough to be released. But I stopped working on it cause I really ran out of ideas

Maybe I will release it as a Beta or something

:D Nah man not interested in that phone. Pixel and all current phones on the market are disappointing.

The SD 820 CPU is not really an upgrade to 810 in terms of efficiency and battery life. Getting a 820 phone is a waste of time because you still can't get to 6h of SOT or beyond

I'm looking forward to LG G6 though, if its good I will get that, if not well.. we'll see

[Nexus 6P General] tracerit:
can i use the overclocked profile with 6.01 and elementalx kernel or is this only for 7.0?
[Nexus 6P General] kyzn:
I don't recall ElementalX having an iron active nor impulse governor. The Android version is the least of your worries. Which doesn't matter with kernel profiles.

The most important is to have the kernel support the settings needed.

Whoops! Guess I forgot to update the 13th line. Always knew the number 13 would be unlucky! :p Thanks for the catch & letting me know! I've updated the bash script and init.d script attachments as well in the original post. :)

ElementalX Kernel doesn't have the required governors (impulse and ironactive) to run this profile. Hence, you can't use it with that kernel. Also, these governor profiles/scripts are compatible across all android versions. Hence, this:
[Nexus 6P General] vladniko:
Just download the new script. There is a new name because the old one was not executing because of the v1.1 in the file name. For the new one just remove .txt, put it in the init.d folder and apply 755 permissions
[Nexus 6P General] nicholasknicks:
I'm I the only one experiencing touch lags with the new governor
[Nexus 6P General] vladniko:
What is CPU Input Boost? Can I lower touch latency or is that tied to the display?

[Nexus 6P General] shuckeru:
Hey guys, I haven't died or changed phones. just been so busy lately. The last time i did profile reviews was when i was on MM. I want to update with a overview of what I've been looking at so far with Nougat 7.0 (not 7.1.1) though i realise 7.1.1 is due this month. personally profiles have been unacceptably warm on N compared to running the same profile for MM. I don't know why, but I've noticed the "cooler" profiles shoot past 65C on N, and causes the phone to thermal throttle. For that reason i haven't bothered running a full test on the profiles as the heat is causing a very large difference in SOT. I can't hit even 4hrs SOT anymore with my usage on N, but the same usage on MM i can push on average 4hrs, with the few that have 5hrs. I will see how we go on the next update.

btw as far as profiles that are available to us goes, i know about [MENTION=4151089]xperator[/MENTION]'s, [MENTION=5893314]shadowstep[/MENTION]'s and [MENTION=4345642]snoprosledneck88[/MENTION]'s but if i've missed someone new coming into the scene please let me know.

[MENTION=5893314]shadowstep[/MENTION] [MENTION=4752299]Alcolawl[/MENTION] the drunksauce profile is rather hot. 72C max (i'm assuming thermal throttle kicked in here), and also likes to run in the 55-65C range in light usage. it also tends to throttle randomly causing 3d games to stutter and go back to smooth before it thermal throttles. battery life is also rather dissapointing compared to hawktail/fairpark. This is the 6p adaptation, just want to give my feedback.
[Nexus 6P General] kyle_el:
Good to see you back, man! Totally agree. My experience has been largely the same on Nougat. Apparently my usage is pretty heavy so I've been getting about 3½ hours SOT pretty consistently.

I've resorted to just using Dragonfly and charging when I need to cause conservative profiles don't even make enough of a difference to matter to me. Might as well get the performance if I'm going to be charging in the middle of the day anyways :silly:
[Nexus 6P General] shadowstep:
Good to know you're still around mate! :highfive: Coming straight to the topic, [MENTION=4752299]Alcolawl[/MENTION] doesn't churn out profiles for the Nexus 6P is because he has a Nexus 5X, and like we've seen before, without the device, it's never truly optimized and such profiles mostly have been a hit-or-miss. That is why I try and adapt them for the Nexus 6P.

Most of the times it's a literal adaptation (meaning replacing the frequencies that don't exist for our device with the ones that do [for example, 787200 is a frequency for the little core on the 5X, which doesn't exist per se on the little core of our device, so I replace it with 768000, which is the closest frequency that exists on the little core of our device to that original frequency]) with other slight modifications (pertaining to the extra two cores for input boost, extra frequencies available while overclocking our device, slight adjustment to the target loads for a more quantized distribution, etc.). However, I must admit that these literal adaptations might not be perfect, and I personally consider myself an amateur to further optimize these adaptations.

However, that being said, I've been running DrunkSauce ever since I adapted it for the Nexus 6P, but I'm on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, and it's been running perfectly fine. Yes, it's not the coldest under load, but that's true for most of the profiles out there. My phone doesn't get warm with light usage running this profile, and I consider myself a light-medium user at best. SOT has been 4.5 hours, on an average, for me. I also use thermal throttling tweaks so that throttling doesn't kick in early. If you also read the past few pages, several people have used the profile and are happy with the results.

Nonetheless, your feedback is always appreciated, as always! :)
[Nexus 6P General] shuckeru:
completely understand that you made the adaptation, and he made the 5x, but because of nougat i've noticed higher temps, i thought he should know too. in terms of performance its ok, but i tend to look at temperatures and want to keep them lower. (somewhere around 65C max ideally) so i've been looking at different ways to keep temps down, even starting to modify the CPU frequency curves, and trying out hotplugging, and even attempting to use different cores while hotplugging. just some of the things. i'm not particularly happy about heat in nougat but feature wise its so much easier to use so it is what it is right now unfortunately.

here's to hoping for improvements in the 7.1.1 update
