You can replace the battery. Just buy one off ebay or amazon if they sell them and follow a tutorial to replace it on YouTube.

Disabling zram is a good idea but I don't know what Uksm is and what it does.

[Nexus 6P General] Saythis:
As far as I know ZRAM compresses the contents of your memory to increase the amount of data that can be stored. It functions like swap but resides in memory instead of being on storage. From what I've read it's mainly for devices with lower memory to increase the amount of stuff that can be cached. I'd imagine the compression would lower performance slightly when it has to decompress it. I could be wrong on that though.
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
I disable zRam but enable KSM. KSM should Jeep performance, although I've never noticed it in normal use.

BTW, the phone has only been out for a little over a year, not to years.
[Nexus 6P General] klamper:
Cortex ROM + EX kernel

Glass fish profile

I've enabled msm_thermal and set zram to 512 with swappiness 40

? if it helped you :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
Your thermal throttling isn't helping battery life. Well...I suppose if your phone is overheating from overuse, then when it throttles your phone down, it could save you a tiny bit of juice while the clocks are being throttled.

But it's odd how different all of our phones and usage patterns are. Glass fish works great for you, but not for me. How do you use your phone, or more specifically, how were you using it on that charge cycle?
[Nexus 6P General] klamper:
Was almost all the time on WiFi and on 4g-2g some times

Chrome,WhatsApp,telegram,FB lite,g+,snapchat and I don't play games

Ofcourse my usage is not heavy
[Nexus 6P General] xflowy:
hey guys! im all for a snappy and smooth phone (nexus 6p).

just a few questions:

1. should dragonfly be better performance wise than stock interactive with touchboost?

2. can i power up dragonfly with enabling touchboost or does it make no sense, or is even contraproductive?

3. how do i reset to stock interactive profile in exkm?

thanks much! :)
[Nexus 6P General] therock3181:
Disable the profile to start at boot and reboot your phone.
[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
If you really want smooth, fast performance, give Butterfly a shot with interactive governors. I can't stand lag, and happily give up a little battery life for the increased performance. I can still pull 6-7 hours of SOT over 30 hours with this setting, however, I'm a light user and not a gamer.

[Nexus 6P General] xflowy:

should they be snappier than stock profile with touchboost?
[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
I definitely think so.

[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
Nearly all of them have some form of boost. People get upset if you refer to input boost as touch post, even though they are virtually identical (difference being TB boosts when you touch the screen, and input boost boosts even you touch the screen, or give it a voice command - I guess).

They both will drain battery the same. Then there's also just regular boost (in the tuneables), but I've asked twice what that does, and no one knows. Lol

[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
It's basically stock with some more features and substratum works fine. Also this is the fastest and snappiness rom out there. As far as I know no other rom has this power.

[Nexus 6P General] mikeygeer:
I suggest flashing "Faster Kernel" - I have never used the ROM actually - I am running AOSIP + Faster Kernel 1.2 with PZ battery profile though even the stock settings work very well. It just seems to hold onto battery longer.
[Nexus 6P General] Sheetzie03:
Used to use the fast charge mod, but when I realize the damage it could possibly do to our battery, I stopped.

where is this battery profile?
[Nexus 6P General] deani77:
Some update from original PZ_Battery profile

Does this kernel have Faux sound control?
[Nexus 6P General] xflowy:
what damage?
[Nexus 6P General] kyzn:
It's a battery innit? Batteries deteriorate over time. No matter how smart they boast it to be. Subjecting a battery to temperature extremes only hasten the process of deterioration. Charging causes heat. Heat causes stress. Faster charging = more heat = greater stress.

And the battery on the N6P has gained a reputation to be finicky. Just last month we had reports of people's 6Ps shutting down at 15%, 30% to 40% power, not turning on until you plug it in.
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
I use xthermal charge mod and my phone hasn't had any problems with using it and my battery health is deteriorating the same as when I didn't use it and I know this because I did a comparison and got results from accubattery and similar apps to check battery health and speed of deterioration.

[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
I've had it about a year now and my battery health apparenty is 98%. If you go to their forum and read a bit they specifically say it won't cause battery damage or wear as they only modify certain values and parameters and don't I crease voltage which increases heat.
[Nexus 6P General] fapste:
How often do you charge your phone to 100% and how often do you deplete your battery down to less then 15%? What app did you use to check batttery health besides accubattery?
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
90% of the time my phone is between 40 and 80 percent as that is best for battery life. I let it fully discharge as that is good for battery. I've only used accubattery for testing battery health. What other apps are there?

Butterfly! I'm a smooth and speed freak. It's one of the old original profiles but works great for what I do. Dragonfly is also good if you like fast fluidity. Which I gladly sacrifice a little battery for.

Sent from me :)
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
For anyone that charges to only 80%, is there a way to reset your battery information, like screen in time? It annoys me that I can't monitor my usage anymore.

I've tried accubattery, but didn't care for it. I think it drains sine battery, the alarm never worked, and it wouldn't give me my battery health.
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
Maybe try a battery calibration app?
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
I plan to look into some. I don't want to wipe the stats, just reset the timers like if you fully charge, and then unplug. Maybe one of them has a feature like that. Google searches come up with nothing but ways to improve battery, or wipe battery stats.
[Nexus 6P General] seabro01:
Accubattery works fine on all my phones. You can use Ex kernel managers battery monitor and select since now to reset.
[Nexus 6P General] Bobbaloo:
No. Wait a minute, I actually put up the $2.50 to go pro at the 'special price.' I don't see the benefit. The knowledge gained is available anywhere. Like [MENTION=4141782]HikingMoose[/MENTION] said, the alarm doesn't work, the stats are nice BUT I've drawn the same conclusion about the app draining battery itself and so, I KEEP it locked down most of the time when I'm not using it. It's not all the rage that people are going on and on about. If the alarm would work, it would be worth it but otherwise, I can do all it does with other resources. Sorry to be disagreeing with you
[Nexus 6P General] seabro01:
The alarm works for me. I get notification and vibration.

[Nexus 6P General] :
according to this well known guide : http://androidmodguide.blogspot.fr/p/io-schedulers.html

the best IO scheduler for battery life is : NOOP
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
I was just using flash for a few days and, when I use the same settings I use on elementalx, I get significantly less battery life. It also just didn't feel as smooth as similar settings on ex. But my settings are always evolving, so I'm not going to say I compared then scientifically. That's just a cursory observation.

I used to use cfq a lot, but switched to boop after a couple I/O tutorials claimed boop and deadline were close to the best in every category. But it's interesting that his post says that boop will big down with just one write event. Because I think I've been seeing that happen lately.

I switched to noop in January after reading a couple tutorials too. But, as I just said above, I might keep shopping.

On a different topic, is there a was to make input boost more responsive? I'm not sure what I've done to my settings, but input boost is sometimes taking 1 full second of a constant press to kick in. If I just touch the screen quickly, or scroll, it doesn't even turn on. It's not kicking in while typing this.

But touch boost in instant. I just don't want to boost to 1248000.
[Nexus 6P General] deani77:
This was my input boost setting. Get it from stock flash kernel settings

[Nexus 6P General] Balino:
What's the difference between those profiles you linking?

Anyway I just switched from Flash kernel to Elementalx kernel and holy sh*t I'm getting much better battery life with the same profile and settings. Give it a try guys even if you are used to Flash kernel. I switch to it some months ago and never looked back, but ultimately I'm been getting a not so good battery life and switched to Elementalx again, much better now!
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
Maybe try faster angler if you haven't already
[Nexus 6P General] Balino:
I did eheh
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
You're stuck locked in with touchboost though, because they haven't added anything to the kernel really. I would have given it more time if I could at least turn that off. But I ended up changing within 5 minutes lol.
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
Personally I find it faster and better battery even with touch boost locked. If an option is enabled in the future I'd highly recommend trying it again.
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
Yes, it is faster and smoother. No doubt. I wish someone would just add the ability to change the clock speed. If it was 960 or 672 I'd be all over it!
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
If you know what you're doing then make the edit in the files yourself?
[Nexus 6P General] Balino:
Touchboost is hardcoded in the userspace and we can't change its frequency. We can just disable it at kernel level ( if I remember well) and faster kernel doesn't have that switch ATM

[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
I have two questions, how does setting timer_slack -1 truly work? A lot of guys do that, myself included until I noticed my CPU getting hung high and dry at the highest clock several times.

2.). How do target loads truly work. If the CPU reads a 90% load, does it go straight to the target load for 90% - or does it scale up just one clock at a time until the load is reduced? Because I have slowed my timer rates, and minimum sample rate way, way, way down, and it still skips clocks, it even skips my go high-speed load with an above high-speeddelay of half a second.

Yeah, everyone's usage is different. I mean different profiles have better effects for some and not for others. Wingoku just doesn't work for me. I'll keep up with it though.
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
Here is what antutu said. The first one is wingoku and the second in Hawktail. As you can see wingoku got a higher score and I don't know if it judges battery but battery is also better on wingoku.
[Nexus 6P General] :
thanks but I thought you had some "battery bench" results
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
I don't. I just compared it with personal use and accubattery but it'll take a week per governor profile to show results with stuff like accubattery.
[Nexus 6P General] HTC_Phone:
There's an issue with the input boost levels with 4.1, the rest of the thread (towards the end) details what exactly should've been the correct levels. With the wrong levels, definitely, your idle/active drain will double.
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
What do you have it on? I set Cpu boost to 0 and disabled for everything.
[Nexus 6P General] djsolidsnake86:
my use is only whatsapp, messenger, fb lite and a little internet browsing
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
Is there anything that can be deciphered from looking at these on paper? I ask in terms of, can you tell which clock speeds should be favored as nominal speeds?

I'm just using these as an example:

Minimal efficient loads

480000:25

633000:32

768000:21

864000:13

960000:11

1248000:30

1344000:8

1440000:7

1536000:7

1632000:6

1728000:6

1824000:6

1958000:7

Above 960000, the numbers remain pretty low, but 1248 is still 30. Does that mean 1248 would be a good speed to target, or does it mean that 1248 should be avoided? Or can you not tell anything from that deviation? I was also looking for clock speeds that deviated significantly for the maximal loads. I'm trying to change up how I set my target_loads.

Thanks gents!
