[Nexus 6P General] Half Man Half Biscuit:
I'm constantly on DU/Screw'd with Elite kernel

What I noticed that I fairly often do is,that when I close/lock my phone I always clean recents every single time,it's a habbit since my early Android days.

When I go to sleep I clean recents completely and I check in the morning to see if my phone was awake,but not one single time does my phone wake up in 8-9h of sleep over night.

That's why my idle drain is less then 1% over 8-9h
[Nexus 6P General] Dipayan4u:
Hi.

Even I follow the rule of cleaning the recents before going to bed. I am on DU and ElementalX kernel. But I do find too many wakeups and my idle is always between 1-2% during night approx 8hrs [emoji53]
[Nexus 6P General] Half Man Half Biscuit:
Well 1-2% over 8hrs is good tbh.

I've seen guys loosing over 7-8% over the same time period.

If you feel it's still too much,you can always use BetterBatteryStats and see which app or apps cause the wakelocks.

I check BBS regularely and non of my apps is misbehaving.
[Nexus 6P General] Dipayan4u:
LOL the FB app and email client & some more. Can't uninstall them nor they are helping my battery life.
[Nexus 6P General] th3discodancer:
If you're getting ~2% WITH the Fb app, that's terrific
[Nexus 6P General] Dipayan4u:
Are you sure? I saw people posting screens less than 1%.
[Nexus 6P General] Half Man Half Biscuit:
Yea lol FB is a battery killer.But i've heard the new app for FB "Swipe for FB" is great,might check that out on Playstore.

I don't even have a FB account (weird right?hahaha),to much drama and at the end i'm not someone who really cares about peoples relationships,breakups,baby photos and that kinda junk.So I don't use FB like 2+ years anymore.

For mail i only use Gmail,works good and is battery friendly for me.
[Nexus 6P General] nathanchance:
Swipe is fantastic. Awesome developer, AMOLED theme, and it's lightweight. Highly recommended for people wanted to keep using Facebook but not losing 2%/hr :p
[Nexus 6P General] Dipayan4u:
Is that official app from FB?
[Nexus 6P General] nathanchance:
No, it's third party
[Nexus 6P General] Dipayan4u:
I just checked. Nice reviews. But I like sticking to officials. Just a personal preference.
[Nexus 6P General] Half Man Half Biscuit:
Man up and take the jump

Batterylife or sticking to personal preferences is the question?!

Which one to choose hahahaaaa...np bud,is a option only.
[Nexus 6P General] Dipayan4u:
Haha, I guess if the stats I shared are good enough then I can still stick to personal preference for the time being. Once I find the officials starts squeezing more battery juice, then I will start looking for alternative.
[Nexus 6P General] DespairFactor:
This SOT argument is stupid guys, your SOT will heavily rely on your signal. You can use the exact same phone in two different spots even on the same street and get different SOT. You will never have the exact same SOT as another user, it depends on way too many factors and all that can be done is adjust the device to match your specific needs, whether it means optimizing idle or screen on or even low usage with screen on(for those who like to read and watch videos).
[Nexus 6P General] Half Man Half Biscuit:
As I see the darkness has taken fully over you,you are blinded by your hatred !

Plus Kylo suks compared to the true Darth,he's just a boy who got defeated by a girl,yep.But cool avatar non the less bud,like the colors.

Yea,you're right about that.But then again it's waaaaay more fun to talk about batterylife then what vendor should be flashed or is it safe to assume if I dirty flash that my phone will be 100% without issues ;)
[Nexus 6P General] coffeehandle:
When you guys use these profiles do you experience a less fluid experience? I suppose it makes sense why you would experience such good SOT, by reducing/adjusting the CPU. But when I use the majority of these profiles I notice that some smoothness and quickness in the UI drops. It's not a huge amount, but it's noticeable from the stock values. I've had 3 N6P and it's been the case for all of them. I'm just wondering if that's what you guys are also experiencing.
[Nexus 6P General] nathanchance:
No profile has ever made my phone feel slow. I may just have low standards though, I don't expect the device to be snappy 100% of the time.
[Nexus 6P General] Half Man Half Biscuit:
No,it's fluid and responsive as always for me.
[Nexus 6P General] coffeehandle:
Fair enough. I'll keep experimenting with these profiles. Thanks for being a constant presence on here haha.
[Nexus 6P General] gqukyo:
Can't tag people in FB mobile site or any app wrappers so I'm still stuck with official app. Just have to deal with the battery drain. Sucks but oh wells. 1st world problems lol
[Nexus 6P General] dakore:
I tried so far:

1) Kylo + DarkSide (you can search for my last few posts here regarding experience, tl;dr no significant SoT gain)

2) Franco + Heimdall (somebody wrote this combo gave him 7h SoT I believe... )

1) It was stuttering when material animations occur, sliding side panel in GPlay, scrolling in Tapatalk, Instagram, G+. Overall, it feeled more stuttering than my default setup without governor scripts.

2) Same story, same stuttering, and I haven't gained any significant SoT.

My default setup is PN ROM + Franco + powersaving profile in FKU. My phone is NOT smooth 100% of time, it has some stuttering in certain apps/situations which I don't really care. It is most defintely not throtling/overheating. It just works more fluid without scripts, this is my experience. Default SoT is 5,5-6,5h, depending on my daily usage and I'm really satisfied. I expected to squezze a bit more with scripts, but no luck (or room) to do so :)
[Nexus 6P General] coffeehandle:
I feel like this was what I was trying to explain just a few posts before you. Maybe I have way to picky eye and notice the slightest stutter. I've read that for the majority of these issues is device specific. But it is REALLY hard (and would be slightly disappointing) to imagine that a different device with the same specs performs better than another. But I am no expert, far from it, and that may very well be the case. Or, again I just have a super picky eye on things.
[Nexus 6P General] Papote3:
It's not just hardware that comes into play here, you have to account for a lot of things:

outside temp, device temp, what apps are installed, what apps are running in background, cell signal strength, what app you are currently using, the way the user uses the device, etc.

A lot of thing come into play for battery life and how the device feels and runs.
[Nexus 6P General] funcrusher:
Definitely not.
[Nexus 6P General] Half Man Half Biscuit:
Your name is spot on,thnx funcrusher you ruined my day you mean person ;-;
[Nexus 6P General] shuckeru:
Its time for me to report my findings for y'all.

First, a brief user pattern: I'm on stock ROM, I game a lot. And everything is on, WiFi, Bluetooth, nfc, location etc. Adaptive Brightness and/or 50% Brightness. I also stream Apple music for about 30 mins average per day mostly over 4g, which I use a Bluetooth headset with.

I have xposed, with a ton of modules.

Most social networking apps, excluding Facebook. But I do have Facebook messenger. Mostly use WhatsApp web, so I don't get doze frequently.

So with that out of the way, my best average use is with the current setup:

Kylo r21 aosp 4.9 kernel with Heimdall v4 - 3.3hr SOT

And for pushing the limits of SoT while I was in a plane with Bluetooth on only, watching videos for 5hrs, and gaming for about 1hr and the rest was messaging before my flight.

Elementalx 1.16 kernel with eclipse r1 - 6.5hr SOT

Other comments:

Elementalx +Heimdall gave me ~2 hr SOT and refused to doze. Silly.

Elementalx + stock gave me ~2hr SOT but dozes.

Elementalx + ghost pepper gave me ~2.5hr SOT

Kylo + eclipse r3 gave me 2.5hr SOT

I'm pretty happy with the current setting I have on now (kylo +Heimdall v4) and but there is one combo I haven't tested yet - kylo + eclipse r1. But I really doubt it would do much because Heimdall handles gaming better even on elementalx.

Apologies that I can't attach screen shots (not enough posts) for these but my usage and testing stays pretty much the same over 2 days before I take my data.

Heimdall and eclipse r1 performed smoothly with the odd hiccup when I'm low on RAM, probably isn't the profiles fault.

All other eclipses were laggy for me no matter which kernel and had way worse battery life. before Heimdall came along ghost pepper was doing me good. Eclipse r1 is more responsive than Heimdall. You can notice it especially on the fingerprint reader.

Hope this helps someone.
[Nexus 6P General] Sickaxis79:
Or instead of using only scripts you could also read the first page from the original thread and learn some more about calculating minimum and maximum target_loads and how to fine tune.Some scripts are designed for extra smoothness and others for keeping your cpu speeds low ass possible while smoothness remains. And why some of you think your sot would be more/better when playing a lot of games?

Read before you apply.
[Nexus 6P General] gqukyo:
Could be the similar principle of why some can overclock the same cpu's better than others.
[Nexus 6P General] shuckeru:
imo when gaming full speed from 90% all the way down to 5% (12am to 3.30am then regretting not sleeping) its pretty good. fact is i don't have the patience to make my own profile, so since i've found someone's profile which suits my needs and yet post respectable SOT despite my hammering, that's good enough for me. obviously while gaming i don't expect fantastic battery life but its met my expectations.

gone are the days of 10hr SOT. RIP HTC one X. you were bawse.
[Nexus 6P General] olomarco:
Sorry guys, anyone tried also whit Franco kernel? I have this one but I can't find the folder where put the text files. I hope anyone can help me! Thanks
[Nexus 6P General] th3discodancer:
Did you try searching the thread?
[Nexus 6P General] olomarco:
Yes but I can't find the right folder in the ex kernel
[Nexus 6P General] th3discodancer:
the folder called governor profiles or the closest thing to that (gov profiles, i think).

and you're supposed to remove the ".txt" extension, btw
[Nexus 6P General] Half Man Half Biscuit:
1. Download the profile you want.

2. Remove ".txt"

3. Place the profile without the ".txt" in ex kernel folder > "gov_profiles"

4. Go into ex app and load the profile in "CPU"

5. Don't forget to tap "apply on boot"

That's it
[Nexus 6P General] olomarco:
Yes mate I understand but I don't have the folder gov_profiles in ex kernel folder
[Nexus 6P General] Dipayan4u:
Try loading one of the built in profiles from exkm app, and the folder with rest of the profiles will be created for you. Then dump as many as you want.
[Nexus 6P General] Half Man Half Biscuit:
Load a profile first from Ex app and it'll show up on your sd card.

It showed up for me right away,but some say they need to upload a profile first (Y)

Yes,as Dipayan said,didn't read just replied to quoted message
[Nexus 6P General] olomarco:
Thanks guys now all work and I have the folder :good:
[Nexus 6P General] Alcolawl:
BlueJay updated to v1.1!

​

Hey all! Finally got around to updating BlueJay for Angler. There are now two versions of BlueJay, one meant for kernels that do not support overclocking and one version that supports overclocking. I just want to make it absolutely clear which ones people should be downloading so that there is no confusion. I do not own a 6P, so I am unable to test these releases. They are heavily based off of the 5X scripts, though so I don't foresee any major problems occurring. If you are aware of any other kernels that support overclocking (or underclocking) for the 6P, please let me know.

For more information on BlueJay, please visit this post.

BlueJay Naming Scheme

BlueJay - For

Elite Kernel

and ROMs/kernels that do not support overclocking

BlueJay_OC - For

Kylo Kernel

as well as any other kernels that I may have missed that

support

overclocking.

As always, check post #900 in the Nexus 5X thread for install instructions, more information, and download links if you lose track of this post. Additionally, if you have any questions pertaining to this profile for the 6P, please either PM me or mention me in a post in this thread. I try to keep 5X related inquiries in the 5X thread and 6P inquiries in this one. Thanks everyone!
[Nexus 6P General] nathanchance:
[MENTION=4752299]Alcolawl[/MENTION] thanks for the update, time to give it a go!

Also, Elite does not allow for overclocking, it is just the stock frequencies.
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
How to setup the profile?

I mean not the method but i use kylo so what should be the min and max freq for the bluejayoc?
[Nexus 6P General] Alcolawl:
The OC profile/script set the minimum and maximum frequencies for both clusters. They are 384MHz/1632MHz for the LITTLE cluster and 633MHz/2016MHz for the Big cluster.
[Nexus 6P General] akademix:
[MENTION=4752299]Alcolawl[/MENTION]

Been using the Dirty Unicorns ROM for a while and the stock kernel (Unicorn Blood) doesn't have the Impulse Governor. Just thought since you mentioned it, you should know. However, great work!
[Nexus 6P General] Alcolawl:
Interesting that they include it in the 5X version of the ROM but not the 6P version. Luckily, IntelliActive is included, so the RedHawk profile (my personal favorite) could be used instead. :D Thanks for the info!
[Nexus 6P General] akademix:
No Problem! :good::)
[Nexus 6P General] nathanchance:
I am about to make a feature request to them for Unicornblood since the Angler one is kind of lacking in features compared to the Shamu, Hammerhead, and Bullhead ones. I'll include the Impulse governor in there (in addition to HBM, wake gestures, GPU control, and backlight dimmer).
[Nexus 6P General] akademix:
Thanks!:good:
[Nexus 6P General] matust:
[MENTION=4752299]Alcolawl[/MENTION] I'm not sure how bluejay works on the 5x but I noticed on my 6p it almost never gets to 384mhz on the little cores when at idle. Just a FYI since you said you don't have a 6p
[Nexus 6P General] chefp2010:
Is there a .sh for both scripts its much easier that way thx.
[Nexus 6P General] nathanchance:
Yeah that is the bash script link in the table. You will need to change the ending from .pdf to .sh after you download it.
[Nexus 6P General] chefp2010:
So I just ran the .sh script I'm using kylo m r21 7.0 and after script is ran I get this ...... Is this okay or is something I need to change I'm using blujay oc on n6p
[Nexus 6P General] Half Man Half Biscuit:
Seems pretty good so far tbh,can compete with Redhawk for sure.

No stutters,super smooth and responsive.

Using Elite kernel with BluJay not the OC one since Elite doesn't overclock.
[Nexus 6P General] Alcolawl:
Yeah, it'll idle with the screen off, but with the screen off, you'll be hard pressed to see the LITTLE cluster at 384MHz. I designed the profile this way because there is no input boost. When the screen is off it'll idle at 384MHz but when the screen is on it'll tend to bounce around near 672MHz, which is not unlike any other profile where input boost will be raising the CPU to that frequency in the first place.

Please, though. Any feedback or complaints, please let me know. Just like you referred to, I can't test these. They behave great on my 5X but I don't have a 6P. That being said, yeah, BlueJay is hectic when it comes to just idling with the screen on.

Wow! It seems that the Impulse governor was updated recently and the developer did away with the "go_lowspeed_load" variable. I'll have to look into this more as this newest version hasn't yet made its way into N5X kernels. Thank you for the heads up! As for the CPUQuiet error, don't worry about that. Your kernel doesn't have CPUquiet so that error will be thrown because that file doesn't exist. The rest of your settings should've applied successfully.

RedHawk is my favorite but IntelliActive is a dying governor since it doesn't support HMP (our phones use this). BlueJay is the stand-in replacement and will get better. It's just so tough to use without Input Boost.

Thanks for the feedback, I will try to refine BlueJay in the coming days.
[Nexus 6P General] chefp2010:
What should I use for scheduler for bj oc n6p
[Nexus 6P General] nathanchance:
I use sioplus when available, bfq if not.
[Nexus 6P General] th3discodancer:
Any update on the Redhawk profile?
[Nexus 6P General] xperator:
[MENTION=4752299]Alcolawl[/MENTION] I tried BlueJay-OC on Kylo. The experience is smooth but Why does the phone gets hot ? I mean to the point it gets uncomfortable to hold in hand.

Also, Is the profile intended for light usage? Because the moment you run some not-so-battery-friendly tasks like connecting to VPN or browse using Opera, the battery drops quickly.

And the profile seem to dislike Data and overreacts compared when on Wifi.

The deepsleep is great, and I believe the profile is great for light usage. Like texting and such. They probably could get 6-7+h SOT
[Nexus 6P General] yung40oz84:
All those requests sound great! The backlight dimmer I think will be a no go as the developer for Angler took it out and saw no reason to add it back when she did the rebase. But I agree for the wake gestures, HBM, and GPU control, also I had requested the impulse governor and despair governor as well which she stated she was going to look into adding. I also requested sioplus as well. It has been awhile since my request and I think she became side tracked with some things, but a good refreshing of these features would be great :good:
[Nexus 6P General] elreydenj:
Can someone please share the settings on the cpu boost screen? Maybe screen shot it? I see Alcowal mention that no input boost is used on Blue Jay however I see that set to 40 ms and the first core set to 1344 after applying the script on my 6P with EX Kernel manager.
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
If you see the first option its says boost disabled and all other are normal

You are good :D
[Nexus 6P General] nathanchance:
Just make sure it says input boost is disabled. Nothing else matters.
[Nexus 6P General] Alcolawl:
I'll be releasing a RedHawk update for this device later today.

Haven't had that issue on my 5X. It might be that I've made the Big cluster too aggressive for this device's CPU which is a bit stronger (and therefore more power hungry) than the Snapdragon 808 in my phone. What temperatures are you reaching? And what do the CPU frequency usage tables look like after running something demanding?
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
I agree the drain when device idle very high
[Nexus 6P General] Half Man Half Biscuit:
Here is full cycle on BluJay and Elite kernel with my standard everyday usage.

I would say this one regarding batterylife is the best,plus no lag or stutters encountered at all :highfive:

Very happy with it,I love it when my phone doesn't have wake locks when i sleep,good stuff.

Thanks
[Nexus 6P General] chefp2010:
What ROM you using
[Nexus 6P General] Half Man Half Biscuit:
PureNexus currently,normally switch between DU,screw'd and Pure
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
How did you get that :crying:
[Nexus 6P General] Half Man Half Biscuit:
About 30min youtube,40min music and rest was normal usage like xda labs,google+ and some whatsapp...

My wakelocks are non existent as you can see,over 8-9h sleep i don't lose a percent battery.

Wifi is always on,i do have some wifi drops but nothing huge.

That's about it bud :fingers-crossed:

Nothing magical tbh
[Nexus 6P General] ONeVmaniac:
I agree on high temperature jumps with oc version. Testing normal one now. The weird thing is that my cpu is still overclocked after using non oc script. Any thoughts what might be the cause?
[Nexus 6P General] Dbj.Dhaval:
I think that more u use ur phone the more sot u will get.. If the phone is used occasionally the less sot is achievable.
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
I have been saying that since day 1:highfive:
[Nexus 6P General] Dipayan4u:
Latest usage details

Using latest DU rom with EK latest.

Governor is ElementalX.

2 hours of Movie

30 minutes Music

20 minutes Youtube

30mins browsing

Brightness at 5%

Daily usage of WhatsApp, FB (fb lite app), emails, xda ......

Is it good?
[Nexus 6P General] Half Man Half Biscuit:
Looks great tbh

2h movies and still over 5h sot is damn good...

People struggle without using youtube,movies to get over 5h.

Which profile are you using?
[Nexus 6P General] Dipayan4u:
Its called Htcm9 in exkm app. Changed the governor to elementalx. I am trying to give shots at all profiles with bit tweaking.
[Nexus 6P General] jiv101:
Did you change both governors to elementalx
[Nexus 6P General] Dipayan4u:
Yeah I did.
[Nexus 6P General] th3discodancer:
That makes the governor profile pointless; implying that you were just on the stock elementalx governor. Good result nonetheless
[Nexus 6P General] niebloomj:
So when we apply a profile, the governors should not be set to elementalx?
[Nexus 6P General] th3discodancer:
Thats right.

Unless your profile is based on the elementalx governor, ofcourse.

Simply put,

You're to use the governors which your profile is made for. If you change the profile, those values in the profile don't have the governor to stick to (which it is made for)
[Nexus 6P General] elreydenj:
Thank you. Being that elemental x does not have impulse governor , should we not use Blue Jay while on EX Kernel?
[Nexus 6P General] Dipayan4u:
We should tweak as per our need isn't it? Those profiles are generic and doesn't consider the way all the mobile users use their phones. I set the profiles as my base and tweak it as per my usage. Everyone don't use their phone like rest of the users.[emoji4]
[Nexus 6P General] th3discodancer:
No one said anything about not tweaking the profiles. I'm merely pointing out that if you load a profile and thereafter change the governor (both custersr) , you basically scrapped the profile and will, from that point onward, be on the stock settings of the newly applied governor. :)
[Nexus 6P General] Dbj.Dhaval:
Is this the latest version for 6p
[Nexus 6P General] THATTON:
Yes. There a few different version too. 4.9, 5.3 and 6.0.
[Nexus 6P General] Dbj.Dhaval:
Then which should I flash. Sorry for asking this in this thread as the kernel thread is close. Also I am currently on screwd rom with elemental X kernel.. So the method should be unsu zip then kernel and then su2.66
[Nexus 6P General] THATTON:
That I can't explain. You'll need to read the Google+ post in the mentioned link to understand the differences... Sorry buddy
[Nexus 6P General] Tehpdub:
Installed the new uber rom and it won't apply the scripts.
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
That would depend on your Kernel, it probably doesn't let you OC.

How are you trying to apply them?

Edit: the script is all done I'm just ironing it out! I might release it tomorrow.
[Nexus 6P General] dastinger:
[MENTION=5323968]xSilas43[/MENTION]

I'm on Kylo R35 6.0. Shouldn't it let me OC? I'm using Kernel Adiutor btw.
[Nexus 6P General] Jsilver73:
Yes, you should be able to go up to 2054 on the big and 1708 on the little.
[Nexus 6P General] Dbj.Dhaval:
Getting error on sidious. Unsupported flags dt flags

Getting same error on every settings. I am on kylo.. Didn't use to get error on EX kernel
[Nexus 6P General] Jsilver73:
Hmm, what ROM are you on, I flashed srewd earlier and also got those same errors, but all the tweaks were applied as far as I can see.

I will look into this to work out what is going on.

Thanks for your feedback ?
