DeusEX is unbelievable... I was 1000% sure I wasn't leaving Ghost Pepper but decided to try some profiles out for fun anyway.

Normally I lose 30-40% battery per hour while playing MKX but on DeusEX I got over 2 hours of playing time and only lost 47% battery. At the rate I was going I was going to hit 4+ hours of screen on time (maybe even 5) all while hardcore gaming which is amazing because some people don't even get that with regular usage and no games. I charged phone to 100% and started playing MKX you'll see my screen on time matches the game! No lie!

Kudos to Xperator who created this profile it's my daily driver now. For anyone who wants to know, I'm running:

N Preview 5

Elite Kernel

Little CPU: 384/1555

Big CPU: 384/1958

Noop/1536
[Nexus 6P General] xperator:
Glad you're liking it. I think you could get more SOT not sure if you've tried all my profiles.

I might do a profile for gamers but I need you guys to list games you play and also tell me which profile give you best result while gaming.
[Nexus 6P General] kyzn:
Well then - Pokémon Go, Voez, ZType, Stacks, Ascension and NDS emulation using Drastic. Those are my mainstays.

Funny enough, I prefer BlackPepper V2.
[Nexus 6P General] shuckeru:
I play pokemon go, clash royale, colin mcrae rally, piano tiles 2, hill climb racing. More so the first 3 because they're definitely heavy on the battery, and colin mcrae rally is a 3D game.
[Nexus 6P General] Juzman:
12 hours on battery and 40%? I'm happy with "SpiceSaber" [MENTION=4151089]xperator[/MENTION]
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
Idle drain is too high
[Nexus 6P General] Juzman:
I thought so too, from 100%-80% it is 0.5-1.5%. After that it jumps. So normal for me.
[Nexus 6P General] shuckeru:
personally would want a idle drain of low 1% or less. personally right now i use Amanuensis as a baseline, which already had less than 1%. so realistically I'm looking at profiles which will do the same. currently saw dragonfly and blackpepper v1 do it for me so far. can't remember how saber did but i like dragonfly better than saber anyway.
[Nexus 6P General] xperator:
That's some good results :) (10percent per hour)
[Nexus 6P General] masri1987:
thanks for this, do i need to rename the file extensions to get exkm to pick them up ?

DERP, i see now, removed the .txt :)

You have a deusex.txt and a deusex.sh.txt

any difference?

---------- Post added at 06:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 PM ----------

where's spicesaber at?
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
One is a exkm profile and another is script to run via terminal

Both do the same thing but just tge execution is different.

Cheers
[Nexus 6P General] xperator:
Good to see you joining :) make sure to post your results if you happen to use my profiles

The difference is just as Prattham said. The one with ".sh" is for users who don't have EXKM app.

SpiceSaber is made by user Juzman, he posted the link in previous pages
[Nexus 6P General] masri1987:
will do, and i'll get spice saber too.

I'm using the DeusEx profile. will report back
[Nexus 6P General] Nekromantik:
So is XSpice meant to be a better for screen on drain over blackpepper?
[Nexus 6P General] masri1987:
found it

but going to be testing with DeusEx first..
[Nexus 6P General] xperator:
Its really subjective. To give you a rough idea, go for XSpice if you liked DarkSpice, and BlackPepper if you liked Ghostpepper

And even so, you should try all of them and see which one suits you ;)

Alright :):good:
[Nexus 6P General] HTC_Phone:
I'll post results whenever I get a chance, but if you haven't used Excalibur, you should definitely try it out. For some reason, my phone REFUSES to lose battery with the screen on. Idle drain hovers right around .7-.8% per hour, and it's incredibly snappy.

Like I said, I'll post more results when I have a little better idea (Pokemon Go usage, Youtube, etc.), but so far definitely a great profile.
[Nexus 6P General] Nekromantik:
will try all profiles :)
[Nexus 6P General] masri1987:
another question, i keep trying to delete some of the default profiles like loki or vidar and they keep coming back lol how do i do this
[Nexus 6P General] kyzn:
So despite only having 2.5 hours SOT with Black Pepper V2, I have to say it's my favorite profile by far. When it sleeps, it flatlines. I didn't even use my powerbank today. :D
[Nexus 6P General] troyolson92:
Black pepper v2 has been very good performance and battery for me.

XSpice_V2 very snappy and good battery.

I got to say, I prefer performance or battery. Nexus 6p charges fast, so as long kernel sleeps good, I would rather have a performance boost over battery. I don't play games at work, so the times i use it it's better to have it load apps fast, do my thing and then screen off. Then I get home play games while charging. Great work on both these profiles.

Trying others now will report back.
[Nexus 6P General] xperator:
Glad to hear that.

Btw what profile were you using as daily driver prior to Excalibur?

I do the same actually but If you update/reinstall the app they will be recreated.

:highfive:

Okie dokie ;):good:
[Nexus 6P General] resynx:
I was just being a lurker :D By the way, DragonFly is so damn smooth. I haven't noticed any decrease in performance, and if there's any, it's ever so slight, from stock EX settings!
[Nexus 6P General] xperator:
A new profile for Kylo kernel users but its experimental. Try and see if it's any good.
[Nexus 6P General] Juzman:
Just have to find the sweet spot for lower idle drain now and it should be perfectm
[Nexus 6P General] Juzman:
Updated my "SpiceSaber" to V2.1 (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxNg1CsHZMjFSWNVeGJ0UDB5a2c) hopefully improve idle drain. Currently charging the phone and will test. :)

It is a mixture of XSpice and Saber by [MENTION=4151089]xperator[/MENTION] and doesn't use Input Boost. Hopefully works well.
[Nexus 6P General] HTC_Phone:
I used a variety of different profiles, but I typically used Ghostpepper and RedHawk alternating. But Ghostpepper I didn't find suited my usage, and RedHawk was laggy in places with higher idle drain. But Excalibur has been wonderful!

Great work :good:
[Nexus 6P General] OmegaBlaze:
Giving it a go right now. I can tell that it's snappier as soon as I loaded it?
[Nexus 6P General] Juzman:
Awesome. I'm still testing it, let me know how it goes. :)
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
Day 2 with deus

While i was in college that is from 8 am to 2 pm my Brightness was max

Nice i think :)
[Nexus 6P General] weazie:
I'm currently in the same boat with BlackPepper, but my DeusEx testing is/was a little unbalanced to the previous test. So not so serious :)
[Nexus 6P General] xxBrun0xx:
I tried your saber profile and runs great! The CPU frequencies drop back to idle very quickly and don't jump around as much as other profiles. Battery has been about what I get with ghostpepper, didn't take screenshots yesterday but was under 2%/hr with screen off and about 13%/hr with screen on. Going to try Excalibur now. Nice job on these!

Also, why do you recommend keeping min frequency at 600 MHz for big cores?
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
I'm working on the ex/any kernel version right now and it's pretty good so far! no quite as smooth as biothrawn though. Might post later today or tomorrow if all goes well.
[Nexus 6P General] Tehpdub:
im tring to do that and get this error/ "'Permissions change was not successful. Please note that some file systems(e.g SD Card) do not allow permission change" I even try changing permissions still getting errors and fails. im on uber rom and kylo. I cant figure it out.

i deleted it and wont let me move the new one, its on r/w
[Nexus 6P General] Jsilver73:
Permissions are 755

Try xplore from play store and be sure to go into /settings /configuration and set 'root access' to superuser +mount writable

---------- Post added at 08:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 PM ----------

Are you on systemless root?
[Nexus 6P General] Tehpdub:
Yes, I am. Maybe the problem?
[Nexus 6P General] elreydenj:
Great job on the scripts. Is there any simple way to get the thermal controls that are turned off by the scripts to apply during subsequent reboots? They dont seem to survive reboots. Thank you for your time and a bit of an education of this in advance.
[Nexus 6P General] Jsilver73:
You can use kernel adiutor to set the temperature throttle on boot
[Nexus 6P General] elreydenj:
I apologize as I probably wasnt that clear. I like that thermal throttling is turned off by the scripts however this disabling of the thermal throttling does not survive a reboot. Is there any way to get the changes made to sys/module/msm-thermal in the script to remain and apply on a reboot. They are changed to 0 and Y with the script and revert back to 1 and N after a reboot.
[Nexus 6P General] NuLLV01D:
Maybe its because the OP2 is prone to excessive overheating?
[Nexus 6P General] Jsilver73:
I think it's the same thing, I didn't look until you pointed it out but mine are still at to 0 and Y so I'm guessing that is set on boot for me through kernel adiutor. I'm backuping atm but I will do a reboot and check.

Edit - so I just rebooted and checked - and y had turned into n but then when I checked adiutor temperature throttle was toggled off (even though I had it to restore on boot) as soon as I toggled it the value changed back to y again - I will see if we may be able to use init.d to do this and possibly all settings on boot, this will take time as I am learning. As we know, adiutor has many bugs and is being rewritten atm, I guess this is just one more.

For any that is interested, I have found that increasing input boost to 1344 MHz for the little actually doesn't really impact battery life but does increase snappiness - this is my results with Sidious v2.0 (moderate usage everything running apart from bt which was on for streaming audio for about 40mins - all syncs, wifi always scanning, Google now etc all running always - location high accuracy) power save on for last 5%of my cycle as per my setup)
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
I'm getting such insane results with BioThrawn I'm making this the new standard for a while!Significantly the snappiest I've used thanks to the minimal touch boost and the battery life due to conservative governer base is just insane! this is not even close to a full cycle just some early screenshots with medium usage. Download link is in the Op give it a try and let me know what you think! I'll be working on the any kernel version when I have some more free time :o

ignore any readings above 1958 and 1555 as those are before the script was applied on boot.
[Nexus 6P General] dastinger:
BioThrawn is the next one on the list.

Been running Sideous 1.2 and today 2.0 and been getting ok results. 1.2 actually gave me 4:20h SOT with a medium usage (no games). 2.0 not so much. Usage has been even less than yesterday and I'm on 2h SOT with only 28% remaining. I'm going for BioThrawn next and, depending on the results, I'll get back to Sideous just to make sure it wasn't any rogue app (I'm looking at Uber and Facebook Messenger as the possible culprits).

Thanks to every user who have made profiles :)
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
Facebook messenger definitely eats battery, download metal instead.
[Nexus 6P General] dastinger:
[MENTION=5323968]xSilas43[/MENTION]

I already have Metal installed for normal Facebook usage but I didn't noticed that it worked with messaging as well. Are the chat notifications instant?
[Nexus 6P General] Tehpdub:
facebook lite is nice
[Nexus 6P General] dastinger:
[MENTION=5581466]Tehpdub[/MENTION]

I'm gonna try it. Any idea if it gives instant notifications for chat?
[Nexus 6P General] Tehpdub:
It works as far as I know... its not as pretty but, it does just as much.
[Nexus 6P General] dastinger:
Thanks! Will definitely give it a shot.
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
I'm not sure if metal will deliver instant alerts for messages but you can choose how frequently It looks for them, or fb lite seems like a good alternative.
[Nexus 6P General] NuLLV01D:
Metal is just a fancy materialized renderer for Facebook's mobile site, but seeing just how crappy, laggy and FCing piece of sh*t Facebook's app is, I'm finding Metal much more awesome, though it doesn't instantly update the feed and messages.
[Nexus 6P General] doki81:
wow..this is very cool...cant wait for the script to compatible with ex-k :D
[Nexus 6P General] kristiangmez:
SoniCron has just released a new profile, it seems to b amazing ! Hopefully soon we ll have it in our 6p :)
[Nexus 6P General] Ofthecats:
He may have a 6p version in a few days.
[Nexus 6P General] masri1987:
Day 1 on Deus Ex and i used 2 hrs of bluetooth streaming, a good 40 minutes of phone calls, and before i went to bet it was at 2hrs sot @ 70% , woke up with alarm ringing at 67% battery time.

I'm using ninja kernel, i updated the kernel this morning and will be retesting..

---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 PM ----------

What's the name of this new profile?
[Nexus 6P General] xperator:
Because in real world usage the CPU needs at least that amount of power to warm up and handle user tasks. When you set it to 384 it will eventually ramp up to 633 so it's pointless to use that clock.

But that said, this was my take on it maybe you could have very tiny battery saving by setting it to 384 but that would as if the phone is in idle mode.

I've already used that profile and tested it. Its not really very likeable. Its laggy and not very battery friendly. Ofcourse we have to wait for an official port but judging from the values and behavior of the profile, I can say its like a mixture of Eclipse, Heimdall and Amaneunsis. Which doesn't make any sense.

I don't think we 6P owners would really enjoy it, like many profiles out there that are made for 5X.
[Nexus 6P General] OmegaBlaze:
Spicesaber 2.1- Highly Underrated ?

The only thing I would like to see is better battery life while playing music (if possible) and a tad bit better scrolling. It gets jittery/choppy sometimes.
[Nexus 6P General] weazie:
Did You try changing Input Interval up for the scrolling? You can try to hitch it up from the default by one ten at a time all the way up to, say, 300ms (quoted from here). Usually smth like 70 works already for me, but I did try 250ms on some configuration recently. Shouldn't be stressful for battery, but somebody knowledgeable correct me if I'm wrong :)
[Nexus 6P General] OmegaBlaze:
I'll try that now. Thanks alot.

---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 PM ----------

Are you referring to the input boost?
[Nexus 6P General] weazie:
I'm using Kernel Adiutor, and there's settings under "CPU Boost" for "Interval" and "Input Interval". I mean the latter. Not the same as "Input Boost". The terms are confusing, somebody can tell what this is called in Ex Kernel Manager 'cause I don't have it?
[Nexus 6P General] weazie:
It's the "Input boost milliseconds" :)
[Nexus 6P General] OmegaBlaze:
Gotcha, sadly; I seen no improvement in scrolling smoothness by changing that. Changing the I/o scheduler to ROW or Deadline gives a slight improvement though.

New! HawkTail Governor Profile

Hey there, 6P cousins!

I've put together a new profile that is REALLY friendly to your battery and is SUPER fast and responsive, as well as EXTREMELY stable.

Please check it out here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=68223776&postcount=4203

Click the "ALPHA TESTING Nexus 6P" link to download.

It's the first 6P profile I've crafted (others you may find are derivative works and weren't done by me), so I'm interested to see what you guys think.

Give it a download and lemme know how it fares!
[Nexus 6P General] darkdreamz:
I see that you mentioned that you didn't have a 6p to test on yourself. Any idea how this fares? Have you checked feedback from a 6p user?

Also, welcome back!
[Nexus 6P General] yung40oz84:
Do you enable force GPU rendering in developer options? Also what is the min and max for big and little cluster for this profile?
[Nexus 6P General] soniCron:
A couple 6P users have given the thumbs up after a couple hours testing, so it's at least decent. Only a full day will reveal the battery impact, however.

Since these values were derived mathematically, it SHOULD theoretically translate well to the 6P. Give it a run and lemme know how it fares!

No GPU forcing, but if you have better experience with that on, it won't affect this profile, so go for it!

Stock min (which I understand are 384/633Mhz) and also stock max PLUS will work on OC'd kernels.

Theoretically.
[Nexus 6P General] resynx:
Thank you so much for sharing your work over here. Looking forward to how this profile evolves out of alpha testing. Downloading now :)
[Nexus 6P General] kyzn:
So excited for this. Testing now.
[Nexus 6P General] kristiangmez:
Thanks for porting it to the 6p ! Gonna try :D
[Nexus 6P General] stalls:
would this happen to work with kylo kernel? Or is there something I need to change?
[Nexus 6P General] Juzman:
I have input boost disabled on SpiceSaber. I will see about creating one with input boost that (should) help the lag. I will update when I do it. :)

Just saw HawkTail by SoniChron. Maybe this will be the "best" for battery. Will give it a run.

SpiceSaber_V2.2 with Input Boost and a few changes: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxNg1CsHZMjFa05IVzlxWGdfRm8

Currently charging phone and will test.
[Nexus 6P General] soniCron:
You can grab command line scripts and init.d scripts from here for other kernels or if you don't want to use EXKM:

[Nexus 6P General] Ofthecats:
So far so good ☺

Spoiler content hidden.
[Nexus 6P General] soniCron:
How's performance? How does it feel?
[Nexus 6P General] Ofthecats:
Perfectly fine so far. Haven't run any benchmarks or tried any games.

I used bluejay heavily in the past. This may be faster. Perhaps similar to stable v2 (not that bluejay was slow).
[Nexus 6P General] nathanchance:
[MENTION=5886947]soniCron[/MENTION] will the profile fail to perform as expected if big and little are dropped down to 302MHz (or 384MHz if not that)? Not really too concerned with performance as even on profiles designed for battery saving I have never felt the phone be super laggy.
[Nexus 6P General] kyle_el:
I would also say that things have been very smooth. Only a few jitters every so often when scrolling and multitasking.

---------- Post added at 06:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:16 PM ----------

Also, the device runs VERY cool while in idle.
[Nexus 6P General] soniCron:
No, it should play nicely with both over clocked and under clocked settings.
[Nexus 6P General] nathanchance:
Thank you sir, going to test now :good:
[Nexus 6P General] Juzman:
IIIRC from what I read, 384/633 for the big cluster uses the same amount of power. So having the big as 633 = faster processing with same amount of power.
[Nexus 6P General] nathanchance:
That just doesn't seem to make sense from a physics standpoint as a lower clock speed inherently requires less power. It may be negligible I guess but still. May have to try it with 633 though.
[Nexus 6P General] OmegaBlaze:
Scrolling is hella smoother. Battery life seems steady as well. Version 2.1 got me 5+ hrs:
[Nexus 6P General] Juzman:
AWESOME! Good to know! :) I think I have accomplished something. Haha.
[Nexus 6P General] OmegaBlaze:
Indeed?
[Nexus 6P General] Juzman:
Are you using Naptime or anything? Also added link to profile in signature ^_^
[Nexus 6P General] OmegaBlaze:
Nope, nor greenify, servicely, power nap etc. I stopped using those battery/task killer apps a while back. They eat up more battery from running/wakelocking in the background all the time.
[Nexus 6P General] Juzman:
Cool cool. I will read a bit more and try change some things like input_boost_ms etc to squeeze a little more juice eventually. :)
[Nexus 6P General] OmegaBlaze:
I'll be there first to check it out?
[Nexus 6P General] Juzman:
SpiceSaber_V2.3 - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxNg1CsHZMjFZTNXcjQzLTNYRTg

It *may* stutter slightly more than V2.2.
[Nexus 6P General] Mikulec:
I suppose these are for the 5X, do you have scripts also for the 6P (at least the new one)? Thx.
[Nexus 6P General] Juzman:
I still don't know how you guys are getting under 1% idle drain! I'm averaging 1.8-2.5%
[Nexus 6P General] nathanchance:
Yeah I was getting that but I had location on, ten Telegram chats notifying me, and a few Hangouts. Decided to turn that off and drain has been around 0.8% now.
[Nexus 6P General] Juzman:
All I use is SMS, Facebook, Instagram, Chrome, YouTube, Gmail.
[Nexus 6P General] kyzn:
[MENTION=5886947]soniCron[/MENTION] HawkTail does not seem to be totally V4A friendly. A bit of audio stutter and lag when underclocked to 302Mhz. Easily fixed by putting the min clocks to the default values.
[Nexus 6P General] shuckeru:
i've just gone back to Amanuensis to ensure that i'm not getting any skewed results, and i'm sure that my phone's gone back to normal now ready to continue testing. phone's been idle on 4g for quite a while with good results.
[Nexus 6P General] Stephenparrigin:
Me either mine sits around 2.2%-4.3% . I also don't see how you guys are getting 5+ hrs SOT:p I'm over here struggling to get 3 and all I do is listen to music and browser XDA and G+. Nothing really intensive. I've tried just about every Rom/kernel/gov profile under the sun and still can't get over 3!
[Nexus 6P General] Ofthecats:
[MENTION=5886947]soniCron[/MENTION] are you expecting hawktail to be a major improvement over stable?

What were the changes you made and the ideas behind them?

I'm still testing lol. I had just flashed a new ROM right before you released hawktail, and also started using servicely. I don't use greenify or exposed in general. I can give you more details if needed.

In my experience, it seems the only battery app that's made a difference is servicely, and it's probably because it basically kills apps.

I've tried maybe 5 Roms for the 6p, and SOT with typical usage is 5-6 hrs. Last night I got 3 hrs SOT by 50%. It may be the profile, the ROM, servicely, or altogether.

If you want an answer now, I'd say its stable, and on par to better than other well rounded profiles.
[Nexus 6P General] Caltinpla:
I had my phone fully charged last night then played a little game, checked email, FB... left it idle over night about 9.5hr, and this is what I got this morning. The performance is very good, my phone is responsive and snappier, no lagging playing Subway Surfers game.
[Nexus 6P General] Radit26:
Hey everyone, I'm using Elementalx kernel on the purenexus rom, I want to use the darkspice profile, just wanna make sure all the settings are correct or do I need to change anything?
[Nexus 6P General] soniCron:
You've got to ask the author of those scripts, [MENTION=4752299]Alcolawl[/MENTION]

---------- Post added at 09:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 AM ----------

For the 6P, I really haven't got any expectations. It's derived from ButterFly with several settings changed to be more sane, idle extremely low, and be more responsive when in use.

On the 5X, it's more battery friendly than any of my others, higher performance than any of my others, and more friendly to the CPU by not switching as quickly.

I wish I had a 6P to test, but I've got no idea how well it'll translate. Theoretically, it should match similarly because the values are mathematically derived, though I have no idea if it really is in practice...
[Nexus 6P General] Ofthecats:
So far, its the same as you described for the 5x. Thanks for sharing your good work ?
