You're welcome :) Appreciate the support.

The settings from the profile are applied on boot by the EXKM app as long as you toggle the "Apply on boot" thing at the top. As far documentation goes, the best way is to check out the source code. Even for an inexperienced user or if you've never used a terminal or written code in your life, it should be pretty easy to read what's going on.

https://github.com/Alcolawl/Interactive-Governor-Tweaks/tree/master/angler
[Nexus 6P General] mistermojorizin:
I see the apply on boot toggle (I didn't notice it because the rest of the app using a different looking toggle for apply on boot). What I'm not sure about, and I will checkout the code, though I have little experience, is this: will it just apply the frequency variables or will it run the whole script including the part that addresses agressive thermal throttling. any ideas?

edit: looked at the github link, but that's just your scripts. I've already looked inside your scripts (that's how I knew about the throtteling code). That doesn't tell me about weather that part of the script - the non-frequency part is applied on boot. The toggle in EXKM is at the top of the frequency page - it may just mean the frequencies will be applied on boot, but not the throtteling part.
[Nexus 6P General] Alcolawl:
Ahh, gotcha. I thought you were asking for the specific values that each profile / script had (like target_loads, min_sample_time, etc.) The settings in the script are exactly the same settings in the profiles. Even the thermal throttling. I'll push the source code for the profiles up to GitHub now.
[Nexus 6P General] evocalante:
Sorry for being noob but how can I load a profile on elementalx kernel manager?
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
You will need to disable the touch boost settings, these settings will ramp up basically as fast, if you want to can enable touch boost but it will just drain your battery.

---------- Post added at 05:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 AM ----------

put the profile in /sdcard/elementalx/gov_profiles

Goto CPU governer options and hit load at the top
[Nexus 6P General] evocalante:
Thanks! You have been really helpful. At first, I did not see the option but I updated the app and it appeared :) you are the man!
[Nexus 6P General] doki81:
Hi Silas,

i mean the cpu boost section not touch boost, as some of the profile like butterfly actually touch the cpu boost section...but for cyanlion...i dont see the profile actually touch this cpu boost.
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
Thank you for pointing that out! I have added those missing options to the profile now as well as setting the Io scheduler, and the min and max frequencies, you do still need to hit the apply on boot button beside them all though. But for clarification BOTH touch boost and CPU boost should be disabled. You can download the updated profile on AFH.
[Nexus 6P General] doki81:
Ok... I reloaded the profile again and this is what showing on my cpu boost option... Is this correct? Just have a random reboot happen when I wanted to login to xda app for this comment... Weird..
[Nexus 6P General] THATTON:
Which profile do you recommend for Kylo Kernel R37 Uber6.0? Cyan Lion? And it's only for Interactive, correct? Not IntelliActive? Thanks
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
Nope that is not it, you want all of those disabled or 0 is possible, if not 384 will have to due. Or you can flash a kernel that will let you disable it.

I can't see the reboot being related to this, are you on a custom Rom?

I've also pushes hot fixed versions cause I messed up one value on the script/profile.
[Nexus 6P General] doki81:
i am on latest chroma rom...and exkernel 1.05 with latest app...
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
Yeah I would recommend cyan lion, I'm definitely getting the best results by far! I've done a few reboots today so I can't post battery stats but it's lower drain than biothrawn but a bit snappier.

I take it your in a dirty flash? I would try reflashing kernel and wiping caches if it persists you probably need a clean install.
[Nexus 6P General] Dbj.Dhaval:
getting lot of reboots on kylo+Srewd rom on applying any profiles..can anyone tell me how to remove the settings.done clean cache plus dalvik cache
[Nexus 6P General] Sigray:
Noob question : should I set up some parameters manually or just apply the governor file to both cluster?
[Nexus 6P General] leondestiny:
mochiron (ofcourse) i know OP. nihihihi

did you make the saber profile? i know fate stay knight, i loved fate zero alot man, the animation is bombastic.

i will untick the io scheduler then !

what do you use on your 6p, your favourite profile is probably the ones that you made xD ?
[Nexus 6P General] xperator:
Yeah Saber she is so lovely and cool I liked how she screamed Excalibur in japanese! :fingers-crossed:

I said what I use in a few pages before. I switch to different profiles based on usage. Most of the time it's DragonFly because I use RR rom which is a very laggy and slow rom so DragonFly takes care of that.

The only option you change manually is Touchboost which should be turned off for any profiles. The main and other values are changed when you load a profile in EXKM.

Also you only load once you dont have to load it for both clusters. EXKM is a bit confused in that matter.

Last thing is to make sure you click set on boot so they stick whenever you reboot your phone.
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
I just cleaned flashed to RR from du because i was having problems with it

I'll have to keep an eye out for that lol

What profile do you recommend for watching YouTube? I mean for 30mins+

Cheers :highfive:
[Nexus 6P General] xperator:
You can use Saber V2 or DeadPool they use lowest resources for most tasks
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
But i get about 15% drain with those profiles

Or is that the minimum? Considering i am indoors and my Brightness is only about 5%
[Nexus 6P General] xperator:
I really don't know I feel like it's the ROM we using I could never get 6+ hours SOT on RR.

I'm waiting for a new release of PureNexus N with hopefully customizations added otherwise I will hold back. But if you can go ahead and flash N see if your high active drain issue will be solved
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
Yup i can see myself not using rr for too long its too resource heavy

But i can't upgrade to n because i need xposed lol

I guess I'd have to ditch cmte and go to PN

Due you know any good rom based on aosp with cmte? Du was perfect for me but it gives me rebooting to issues maybe due to xposed idk

Cheers :highfive:
[Nexus 6P General] xperator:
I am thinking of switching to aosp based roms like PN once and for all. It's not really worth having these extra features CMTE has while losing new android version features plus having a crappy battery life.

It's awkward to have a Nexus phone and holding back on updates. On the other hand RR forces me to use DragonFly cause the UI and everything is damn slow and laggy. I really had enough of this
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
You and me are in the same boat lol
[Nexus 6P General] BIGWORM:
I remember flashing CM-based ROMs back in the Galaxy S3 days. Was a nice change, but man, they ran through battery like Nougat on crack lol!
[Nexus 6P General] NBAPwns:
Saber v2 + hot plug + DU Rom 6.0.1

Still amazing results
[Nexus 6P General] marbertshere:
I've read some posts which recommend lowering the min CPU frequency on both cores to their absolute minimum, and I've read some posts that recommend setting the min freq for the big cluster at 633.

So my question is, is there any consensus on this? Do you guys lower the minimum when setting a profile?
[Nexus 6P General] nathanchance:
I used to believe setting the minimum frequency to its lowest possible value would save so much power but in real world usage, it made next to no difference. However, performance was a little better with the stock minimums because the CPU doesn't have to ramp up much to get the same amount of work done.
[Nexus 6P General] marbertshere:
Thanks, that makes sense. I flashed your kernel recently with PN and so far so good! :)
[Nexus 6P General] lu4414:
What do you guys thinking, I see here some amazing SoT, but mine are on this ): I'm on GP and with Touch boost disabled! The brightness are around 30-50%

As far as I see I don't have any crazy background process

Anyone have tips? Also thermals are not so good

Thanks
[Nexus 6P General] kyzn:
Do not compare your SOT with anyone else. They are references but you have no assurance of getting the same result. Variables that affect SOT are your usage, your apps, your signal and location, etc.

Especially with Nougat, it will take some time to settle down. Expect lousy battery life for at least a week.
[Nexus 6P General] lu4414:
I see, what do you mean by settle down?

Thanks man
[Nexus 6P General] Daandofreak:
Nexus 5x

Hi,.

Is it possible to use your profiles like Saber v2 on nexus 5x?
[Nexus 6P General] kyzn:
Google has been, for the past weeks, crazy with the wakelocks. I've had the issue on MM and continued when I flashed PN7. After a week of using Nougat, the optimization has stopped and has calmed down. I'm back to great idle drain.

If it doesn't stop, it's most probably an app you have installed.
[Nexus 6P General] xperator:
I don't know I don't have a 5X to test them out. I don't think Saber would work on that. Maybe other profiles like DragonFly or DeadPool would.

Keep this between us but I started a post on 5X interactive thread long time ago and I ported a few of my profiles for them but it had zero feedbacks, literally. So I removed my post. That thread/community has kinda a different vibe from ours they are not so welcoming. They only worship sonicron and alcolawl lol

They will never get a taste of DragonFly's speed. They still think Butterfly is better for battery and performance. They will never get the battery life of Saber V2 and other battery oriented profiles we have here. Technically they would get better battery life results if they ever tried our profiles because there is 2 less cores on 5X CPU. But nevermind let them live with their own profiles lol

I'm glad we have such friendly community with great 6P users. Specially on this thread and Flash's thread.
[Nexus 6P General] lu4414:
Got it, I will look for that...and take a.look on apps

Best regards
[Nexus 6P General] Prey521:
This is a great guide. The only thing that I can't do is uninstall the official FB app. I've tried every single FB alternative app out there and none of them offer the Sharing options from the OS and other apps that the offical FB app does. Until I can find an app that will offer that type of integration, I'll suffer with the reduced batt life of the official FB app lol
[Nexus 6P General] kyzn:
FB actually has gotten better. Hardly makes a peep in wakelocks anymore.
[Nexus 6P General] Lord. Tech:
u and me both man :( im on du and everything was perfect and all i did was dirty flash rom a week ago, to flash latest arise after, and then flashed back xposed, and for a while it all seemed perfect, then suddenly everythings laggyyyy and active drain is 25%+/hour, i tried 3 kernels and 10+ profiles :p and even my favorite profiles simply couldnt do anything, i feel xposed compromised my system somehow.... and im thinking to switch to aosp finally, still deciding between trying N or keeping xposed n stay on MM but on PN... but God damn am i gonna miss fling navbar, its beyond me why it isnt mandatory in every rom already.. LOL :laugh:
[Nexus 6P General] Daandofreak:
I am a bit confused regarding Blackpepper and dead pool. What is the difference and is dead pool the new Blackpepper? Saberv2 is best so far but need bit more performance with same battery like saberv2, which one do you recommend? DeusEx, deadpool or Blackpepper?

Have a great day.
[Nexus 6P General] flunk03:
You'll have to test both those profiles(black pepper & deadpool) to see which one works better for you but yes they are battery oriented profiles. As to your query which one works better in terms of performance I would say deus ex and black pepper should give you more performance compared to saber since they use input boost.
[Nexus 6P General] xperator:
Just as flunk03 said.

Yes DeadPool is the next version of BlackPepper V2 but it's a bit different so that's why the name is changed and still have BlackPepperV2 up

Saber V2 is designed to utilize lowest resources it's different and more conservative compared to DeadPool and DeusEx I am not sure if switching to different profile would give you same battery life. So if you want more performance you have to sacrifice battery life.

Either way, just try profiles and see which one can do the job for you, start with DeadPool maybe
[Nexus 6P General] discodestroyer10:
Should I enable Touchboost option when using Deusex profile? It's disabled by default on Ex kernel, as I can see.
[Nexus 6P General] NBAPwns:
Out of the blue but can i use these profiles with stock 7.1 kernel?
[Nexus 6P General] Balino:
No, you can't disable touchboost on stock kernel
[Nexus 6P General] flunk03:
No you don't need to enable touch boost. Most interactive profiles including deus ex uses input boost which is enabled when you enable the profiles. Only a few profiles such as saber are designed to work without input boost which again is disabled when you enable the profile.
[Nexus 6P General] hh11bbaacchh11:
Noob question and a lazy one. I've tinkered alot and I want to reset the setting on my kernel. Is there an option to do that on EXKM?
[Nexus 6P General] nathanchance:
No, there isn't. Clear the apply on boot toggles (or the EXKM app data) and reboot.
[Nexus 6P General] hh11bbaacchh11:
Thanks!
[Nexus 6P General] Lord. Tech:
This happened overnight, phone was not on charging, i charged till 100 n left it... is my battery gauge off? Could be the new rom i installed last night but how :/
[Nexus 6P General] Mrcactuseater:
Hey man I know the thread is kinda "rude" on the 5x, so maybe you could post them solely in Flash's thread if he doesn't mind? Idk about the majority, but I'm positive there are some people, including myself, who would love to help and assist you in any way possible to spread your work to the 5X ????
[Nexus 6P General] flar2:
I'm putting together a massive update for exkm. I can add updated and new profiles if someone can put them all together and tag me in the post.
[Nexus 6P General] kyzn:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] comes with all [MENTION=4151089]xperator[/MENTION] profiles plus HawkTail and GlasFish.
[Nexus 6P General] BlackL0dge:
A really simple app to search, download, and install profiles would be amazing. This isn't a request. Just an idea. :)
[Nexus 6P General] kherboucha:
Hi man, BTW what theme are you using ??

XDA App - Nexus 6P - RR 6.0.1
[Nexus 6P General] lu4414:
Domination theme very well made with one or other app themed with divinity
[Nexus 6P General] shadowstep:
You're missing AmanuensisOne. :) I've attached an updated zip file with AmanuensisOne as well as all profiles by [MENTION=4151089]xperator[/MENTION]. They are properly named with version numbers as well as formatted for consistency. ;)

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] Here you go. Appreciate your work, as always! Thank you!
[Nexus 6P General] Lucius1972:
Another (quicker one) is to go into settings and choose "wipe app data" (bottom one first screen).

This resets the whole app.

Once done, reboot.
[Nexus 6P General] Sheetzie03:
How do you read that font every day and the status bar icons?
[Nexus 6P General] Lord. Tech:
lol i really enjoy the font, its playful yet clear. and the icons, well, the star thingy is my wifi bars, as u can see 3/5 are lit, and then there's the half colored circle which is actually the phase of moon on that current day, and the other bars are just network and do not disturb :laugh:
[Nexus 6P General] E30Nova:
What's the best performing battery profile?

I've been using dragonfly for performance but the battery life is pretty bad, so I'm looking for something that's still pretty snappy but better on battery.

I just switched to Deadpool, we'll see how good the performance is on this one...
[Nexus 6P General] flunk03:
Deadpool is a battery oriented profile. I suggest you give Rezero by [MENTION=4151089]xperator[/MENTION] a try that has a good balance between performance and battery life. You can find all his profiles on his signature. I have linked his xda profile in this post.
[Nexus 6P General] E30Nova:
Surprisingly Deadpool is pretty snappy. Geekbench even gave it a higher multicore score than with dragonfly... Go figure, lol.

I managed to get 4.5 hours of SOT and was around 25% and I haven't really noticed any lag. I may switch to rezero but this "battery" profile is pretty good performance-wise...
[Nexus 6P General] Maxamillion:
If you like Deadpool I recommend you try Deus Ex. Performance is similar and battery life is better , at least with my usage (mixed)
[Nexus 6P General] kyzn:
Lol. DragonFly on PN7 + ElementalX. Low brightness. Home WiFi. Surprisingly the best SOT I've gotten since moving to Nougat. :D
[Nexus 6P General] flunk03:
Well I'm glad that it has worked out for you. My personal daily driver profile is deus ex it works for me really well. The thing is we all have our mixed usage preferences for e.g. I run a combination of Bluetooth connected to my smart watch on LTE+ location set to battery saving along with Google now and now on tap running along with duo, allo, whatsapp

,Facebook, Instagram, snap chat(official apps) running. So there is no fixed baseline and it varies from user to user. So I hope this gives you a reference point to work with. Unfortunately I can't give you active and idle drain numbers right now since I'm testing the flash profile but do give a feedback on how each profile works out for you. Cheers.
[Nexus 6P General] E30Nova:
You guys talking about Deus Ex or Deus Ex Revolution?

I wish I remembered which profile I was using a little bit ago. I got 5.5 hours of screen on time with like 20-ish percent, but on a performance profile.

Trying to get back to that...

EDIT: Ran Geekbench on dragonfly and then on Deadpool. Deadpool's multi core was about 200 higher than dragonfly, but single core was literally cut in half. Just switched to Deus Ex and the single core was less than 100 points less than dragonfly. And multi core was actually like 200 points higher.

So far it seems nice and snappy. Hopefully it saves battery. So far it's off to a good start...
[Nexus 6P General] fystrified:
which profile do u guys prefer in terms of battery life in your experience, excalibur or rezero?
[Nexus 6P General] TRgamer:
For me it's for example Saber_V2... This suits best for my usage... ? think u need to try several profiles and choose which suits you best..
[Nexus 6P General] flunk03:
Talking about deus ex. Revolution is more performance oriented. I personally don't look at benchmark numbers, I just look at real world experience, active drain and idle drain numbers. There are lot of factors to get such times but all that depends on how well Google play services behaves during that run.
[Nexus 6P General] vladniko:
I'm running Deus Ex and noticing a bit of lag. It might be because I have deadline scheduler with 2048kb readahead and fsync disabled. What do you guys that are getting 5 HR SOT run? Thanks
[Nexus 6P General] kyzn:
It's going to be dependent on your use, apps and signal. I'm running DragonFly, not a battery friendly profile but I can get 5+ hours SOT on a medium use day.

FIOPS with 512kb read ahead. FSync enabled. Low brightness.
[Nexus 6P General] vladniko:
Which Deus Ex are you guys using? The one that comes with exkm or the one that shadowstep had in his EXKM_Profiles_(Nexus_6P).zip Asking because the two files have different sizes
[Nexus 6P General] shadowstep:
Both are the same, use any of them. The one I had included in my zip file has a different file size/hash because I moved a few lines up and a few of them down to match the order in which the values/tunables appear in EXKM. I have done this with all my saved profiles, for consistency and personal convenience. Values are the same as the one included in EXKM, which is the same as the one [MENTION=4151089]xperator[/MENTION] has in his post.
[Nexus 6P General] fystrified:
my first full cycle usage with rezero profile on elementalx kernel
[Nexus 6P General] Shockz:
Just out of curiosity, how many people here keep Google Now enabled? Does it still hog the battery like it used to?
[Nexus 6P General] cocchiararo:
Just out of curiosity, how many here disable so much of their smartphones that they turn into bricks that make calls ? XD
[Nexus 6P General] vladniko:
Should I use the CTTMod or will that get me less SOT. The mod is a bunch of changes to the thermal_conf file
[Nexus 6P General] flunk03:
I keep it enabled based on my personal preferences and it does have a significant impact on battery life but it is something that you can live with unless you're aiming for extreme battery life by disabling key settings and services.
[Nexus 6P General] shadowstep:
In theory, the following should be true: Flash CTTMod --> Temperatures at which thermal throttling kicks in are raised --> Better performance --> Higher battery consumption since the phone will run at higher clocks for a comparatively longer time than stock --> Comparatively less SOT.

However, I've been using the mod for a really long time no and I have not seen any decrease in my SOT as compared to not using it. It's because I rarely do the performance oriented tasks and even if I do at times, it's mostly multitasking and a that too for a few minutes. That barely has an impact on SOT, if at all any.

Flash and compare for yourself since your usage may vary. Good luck!
[Nexus 6P General] arunkr:
Hi, I am confused with keeping CPU input boost parameters as 'enable on boot', because when I load a profile, CPU input boost is enabled and in the OP it says disable the CPU input boost. So after loading should we keep all values as default and check the enable on boot option or disable the CPU input boost and then check the enable on boot option??
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
In the op it says disable touch boost

Input boost and touch boost are different

Cheers :)
[Nexus 6P General] arunkr:
What if I don't have touch boost options??...just have input boost
[Nexus 6P General] Veidas:
Then you are using kernel which has touch boost disabled by default
[Nexus 6P General] shadowstep:
Just in case someone is new here and wondering what all is needed to be set on boot in EXKM, have a look at this detailed post for the same. Should help. :)
[Nexus 6P General] OmegaBlaze:
Sup guys. I've been out of the loop for a couple of months.

What's some recommended profiles(smooth scrolling)?

The last one I used was FairPark.
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
Dragonfly :cool:
[Nexus 6P General] flunk03:
Any balanced or performance profile that uses input boost would be the place to look. E.g flash, rezero
[Nexus 6P General] nathanchance:
My personal profile should be excellent for scrolling: http://nchancellor.net/Kernels/angler/Profiles/Flash1.0.1
[Nexus 6P General] leondestiny:
guys are these still a "MUST" to set the profiles correctly (considering the ekm app has updated, maybe it is not a "MUST" anymore?)

i mean this

To apply the profiles successfully you MUST

1. go back to CPU after applying the profile for the first time

2. reopen Governor-Options and load the profile again.

^ is that still needed to make the profiles work correctly?
[Nexus 6P General] marbertshere:
No. You should only have to load it once, press the apply on boot symbol so it turns blue, and you should be good. You can check just by following these steps and then exit/open the app again and see if it's still set to apply on boot.
[Nexus 6P General] leondestiny:
gotcha, thanks.
