That's not a heating problem and is normal. A heating problem is when you run XAP with ninja v1.9 and see 70degrees like I just did today.
[Nexus 6P General] shadowstep:
70 degrees? Woah! That's living life like the Note 7! :p Did you use the one I adapted for our devices? Also, did you enable hexacore mode?
[Nexus 6P General] shuckeru:
Yes and no, hexacore mode was laggy because of the thermal throttling
[Nexus 6P General] shadowstep:
Ah, okay. Well, I'm not surprised. The profile was originally meant for Nexus 5X, and the additional tweaks that were introduced in it, they were sort of meant for it only, i.e. 4 little and 2 big cores. Hence I suggested that hexacore mode be enabled. Wasn't sure of how the profile would be if all the eight cores are used.

My usage is light to medium, and I didn't face any lag. I'm sure with heavy usage, the story will be quite different. I anyway keep on coming back to Saber v2 or DeusEx, depending on my mood. :p They are the best ones for me!
[Nexus 6P General] xperator:
I've been on Darkspice 7.5 for longest before I started making profiles. After that I run new profiles almost every day as i would play with values all the time.

To be honest I have never run any of my profiles for a full cycle yet. Some of them were never tested. Like BlackPepper.

If you see my EXKM profile list there would be 50+ profiles lol I keep deleting them so I don't get confused.

Right now I run profile based on usage. I was on traveling a while ago so I ran Saber V2. Other times it would be DragonFly cause god it's sweet speedy and dope. If I'm watching movie/youtube I would switch to DeadPool. For gaming I go DeusEx Revolution.
[Nexus 6P General] ilal2ielli:
I've enjoyed using your profiles ever since I've gotten my Nexus 6p earlier this year. Was hoping you could reupload your last DragonX profile (v3?). I had to reinstall PureNexus my 6p after mistakenly reformatting my internal storage.

I hadn't backed up all the profiles that you've created over the last few months, so I was hoping you still had it or someone else could assist in obtaining DragonX v3.
[Nexus 6P General] weazie:
There You go.
[Nexus 6P General] xperator:
Sorry I had to cleanup some of the profiles that didn't receive quite attention. Thx [MENTION=4242902]weazie[/MENTION] he got it for you.

If you need some of missing profiles just ask, I'm sure my buddies in this thread will help you out
[Nexus 6P General] Daandofreak:
Hi,

Would you please put some light on your new profiles. There are some new profiles in list, are they for performance or battery?
[Nexus 6P General] snoprosledneck88:
Not sure. I haven't posted them because they haven't been tested yet. Working on that now
[Nexus 6P General] NBAPwns:
i disable hot plugging with dragon fly profile? im on ninja kernel. Also im on maple io 128 is that appropriate for this profile?
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
Sounds good
[Nexus 6P General] ilal2ielli:
Thank you sir!

Thanks for all your profile work!
[Nexus 6P General] TyroneLT:
Been using rezero for awhile and getting decent results with great performance. I just wanted to know if there has been any updates to it and/or if there are other profiles similar to it worth trying.
[Nexus 6P General] weazie:
I have also happily used rezero for a couple of weeks. Fluid and reliable, nearly always gives me 5 hour SOT no matter how I use the phone. [MENTION=4151089]xperator[/MENTION] : I have the proper idle stats but just been too distracted to send them. Sorry!
[Nexus 6P General] nreuge:
Hey Guys!

There are so many gov profiles available...

What interactive governor profiles would you advice me to use for each of these 3 requirements:

1. As performant (or nearly as performant) as stock but with best possible battery life (i.e. battery life better than stock)

2. Slightly less performant as stock with best possible battery life (i.e. battery life significantly better than stock)

3. Less performant as stock (but still decent!) with best possible battery life (i.e. battery life much better than stock)

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 6P General] jun_ng_1208:
Give Rezero by [MENTION=4151089]xperator[/MENTION] a try, it has been my favourite profile since it's released :)

Easily able to get 4hrs+ SOT with LTE all the time :good:
[Nexus 6P General] nreuge:
Thanks!

But in what category would you assign it (1, 2 or 3) ?
[Nexus 6P General] jun_ng_1208:
I would put it in a 3 for my usage cos I don't experience any lags OR whatsoever in my usage :)

I normally use my phone for texting, Facebook, and occasionally gaming (Clash of Clans & Sky Force Reloaded)
[Nexus 6P General] ilyassnexus:
Hello everyone ! What is the smoothest profile out there ?! I don't care about battery life, I just want silky buttery iphone 7 smoothness.
[Nexus 6P General] danmaman:
Then go and buy an iPhone:p:D ..... Just kidding

Try dragonfly.v1 or Excalibur v2

They are smooth

Cheers
[Nexus 6P General] ilyassnexus:
Sorry for the noob question but all I have to do is load the governor profile and voila ?!
[Nexus 6P General] nreuge:
Category 1: Dragonfly

Category 2: HawkTail

Category 3: Rezero

Are you agree ?
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
It should be dragonfly

Excaliburv2 or rezero

And the saberv2

:)
[Nexus 6P General] danmaman:
Yes...

Remove the .txt from profile... Load the profile and set it on boot .... That's it
[Nexus 6P General] nreuge:
Thanks !!

But in which of the 3 categories that I've defined do you assign each of these 4 interactive gov profiles ?
[Nexus 6P General] xperator:
Speed: Dragonfly

Balanced: Excalibur V2, ReZero

Battery: DeusEx, Deadpool, Saber V2

Gaming: Deus Ex Revolution
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
I haven't tried them all myself, but I'm working on a silky smooth profile. It might not be an interactive profile though, because inherently the profile will introduce lag as it drops from full power down to idle in a nano second. You always get lag when it does this. Try conservative and tweak the tuneables. Or I can share my settings.
[Nexus 6P General] danmaman:
ok mate

then share your settings

but if you mean conservative governor ......i don't have it in EX kernel:p;)

thanks
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
Yeah conservative governor. If you try a more full featured kernel, let me know!
[Nexus 6P General] yung40oz84:
Which conservative governor? The actual conservative or chill, or despair are based on conservative? Would you mind sharing your settings, if you have EX u can save profile and share, or however u like, would much appreciate, thanks man!
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
Well I've been working on learning and developing a smooth interactive profile. But I'm a slow learner and the tuneables don't always seem to make the adjustments you're intending.

I just tried to remember what my conservative settings were and was tweaking and modifying all of the conservative tuneables all morning. It was fairly smooth, but we draining my battery fairly fast. So I'm back trying to tweak interactive. I can certainly share what I had if you like, but just know it's geared towards higher clocks for stutter free scrolling, but if you're texting or touching the screen often, it will suck your battery dry!

If you guys can be patient, I will keep working on an interactive profile and a conservative profile. Or I can pm you what I have.

---------- Post added at 01:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 PM ----------

I haven't tried chill out despair. The only conservative based governors I knew about was Lionheart and Lionheart X. I'll check out chill and despair.
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
Just wondering can a smooth profile be made without the use of input boost :confused:
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
I'm trying like heck!

But ultimately, probably not. Because you'd need to make it sensitive enough to ramp up when you're scrolling. If you have no input boost, but make it so that it's sensitive enough to ramp up just from touching it, then it's always going to be ramping up, even at idle.

I'm considering ditching EXKM, for setCPU, so I can have a screen off profile with a low idle frequency, and a screen on profile that doesn't go below 6000mhz, and see if that's smooth but still battery efficient.

I'm frustrated be honest that a phone with this much RAM and processing power, is no smoother than phones I had 4 years ago. Still has all the same stutters, jitters and lag. Maybe it's am Android thing, and I'm expecting too much?
[Nexus 6P General] therock3181:
Weird i have no problem on mine. It's super fast and no lag. You probably have a defective phone or a rogue app using resources.
[Nexus 6P General] cocchiararo:
Is it possible to load profiles from recovery? I am not rooted right now.

Enviado desde mi Nexus 6P mediante Tapatalk
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
Yeah, it's weird how the same phones can be smooth for some, and so choppy for some. I haven't found a rogue app yet. Maybe I'll try a new launcher. But I don't think that's it. My phone has very few apps running and plenty of free RAM. I've always wondered if my brain processes faster, so I see the stutters that everyone else says is buttery smooth. Lol

---------- Post added at 02:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:44 PM ----------

Not that I've ever heard. I think you need to be rooted and have a custom kernel, but I could be mistaken. I've never tried applying them to a stock kernel.
[Nexus 6P General] cocchiararo:
I had no problem applying them to the stock kernel with EX manager, and I will try flash kernel first, then I wanted to try governor profiles.

I am just avoiding root, since it might not be a possibility when I get my next phone

Enviado desde mi Nexus 6P mediante Tapatalk
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
Cool, good to know. I guess I have noticed that you can still adjust stock kernels to a limited degree. I wasn't thinking, I guess I shouldn't have answered. My bad.

is Saber still best for battery savings on N?
[Nexus 6P General] nreuge:
Actually, Excalibur is the legendary sword of King Arthur, the "sword in the stone"... :)

This gov profile works super fine on my Xperia Z5, good performance and battery life.
[Nexus 6P General] xperator:
Yeah the reference is the same. King Arthur who's a woman in that anime ( called Saber ) uses a sword called Excalibur. It's also her ultimate ability. The video I linked shows a part she uses her sword to destroy the enemy
[Nexus 6P General] SixFourSix:
I know what you mean. Lag is such subjective thing thou, some might find anything "below" Dragonfly as laggy, and some might think that a very conservative profile is smooth as butter.

I think, that to a certain degree, lag depends on what you consider as lag. Someone might be happy with constant scroll stutters and delayed app opening times, and someone can't stand even the slightest micro-stutter when scrolling.

So the person who said his experience is super fast and lag free, probably doesn't consider these little stutters as THE LAG.

I think I'm with you there when you say the phone has some performance issues. These conservative profile and settings are not for me, as I find even the slightest lag to be super annoying. But luckily there's settings for performance also, because not everyone has the obsession over battery battery battery.

So yeah, it's your brain. It's screwed. ; D
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
Lol, well at least I'm not the only one. People that don't notice it, or don't consider the stutters annoying, just say I must have a bad phone. But I've only had bad phones my whole life then, because Android has always had it, in every device I've owned. The Note 3 was the smoothest phone one ever owned, but it still had it.

I'm currently trying to build a performance based profile that still produces tolerable battery. Not having much luck. I downloaded an old app I used years ago called SetCPU because it easily allow you to set up screen on settings and different screen off settings. I can't find a way to do that in EXKM. Is that something EXKM can do?
[Nexus 6P General] SixFourSix:
I'm not sure if EXKM can do this, probably not. Or at least it is well hidden if it's possible. Would be cool thou!
[Nexus 6P General] flar2:
I stopped using different settings for screen on and screen off a long time ago. It usually makes things worse.
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
So far it's smoother and has improved the battery quite a bit. It's certainly not ideal, but at least the stutters are more tolerable.

I hate having two kernel control apps running. But maybe I update to nougat, I'll try the stock kernel again and see how that goes.
[Nexus 6P General] SixFourSix:
Okay so it sounds better in theory than it practically is. Thanks for clearing things up man!
[Nexus 6P General] Lord. Tech:
Anybody here playing league of wars? I'm getting a lott of lag and stutter in battle loadings, but not much while playing, i wonder if its the game or is it just me.. I used deus ex revolution to test... it's a strategy, 90MB game if anybody wants to try n see if its working for them.

Ps i don't play games much n my bro recommended this one so i wouldn't know if its just this game only. Maybe it has bugs etc.
[Nexus 6P General] maxesxp:
Hey [MENTION=4151089]xperator[/MENTION] I'm loving your profiles man!

I just had a quick question, are your profiles designed to work with or without touchboost? I know that saber v2 specified that it works without but the others do not.

Thanks so much for your work and thanks in advance
[Nexus 6P General] nathanchance:
Input boost is not the same thing as touchboost. All of these profiles should be run without touchboost and every profile will set their own input boost settings.
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
How exactly does input boost work differently than touchboost? Because touching the screen is input. I've noticed at least on my device, touching the screen causing boost, functions the same as input boost - where the input is your touch.

I think you mentioned a while back (maybe it was someone else), that they are different, but technically, by definition, they'd be the same. Thank you.
[Nexus 6P General] nathanchance:
It's in the way they are handled. They appear to do the same thing but it is different. Input boost is a pure kernel driver, in the cpufreq folder in the kernel. When you touch the screen, the kernel will boost the frequency up to this limit for the specified duration. Touch boost however depends on a userspace daemon called perfd, which sets the minimum frequency of the kernel to a specified value (not customizable) for 1.5 seconds. This code is in the drivers/soc/qcom folder of the kernel.

Blazer v5 Port for Nexus 6P

Hello to my fellow 6P owners! So I got too bored of using Saber v2 (I have been using it forever now because, well, it is amazing!) and because I had a lot of time on my hand, I decided to just look around in the same parallel thread of our little cousin, Nexus 5X to see if I could find something there. I saw many people had nice things to say about Blazer v5, so I decided to optimize it for our device.

I've been using it for a couple of days and have seen that the frequencies used, at least as per my usage, are usually in the lower range of the little cluster, while the frequencies of the big cluster are hardly used at all (I have a light-to-medium usage). It's a battery savings profile which does not use input boost.

I've been getting about 5 hours of SOT with this profile on an average. The active drain is average to good, but could be slightly better, and the idle drain is too much for my liking. If it can be reduced somehow, I'm sure this'll make for an excellent profile and it'll definitely lead to an increase in the SOT. ([MENTION=4151089]xperator[/MENTION], if you got some time, do have a look and see if you can somehow work around these values and improve them, might be a good base for a new profile that you can create for us. Looking forward on hearing back!)

I'm attaching the screenshots of my little and big cluster usage as well as the profile, if anyone would like to test. :) Do remember to set Advanced Options under Miscellaneous in EXKM to apply on boot as well, in addition to the other usual settings you would set on boot while using a profile.

[Nexus 6P General] jochem86:
This is on android 6.0.1 right because on nougat i get atleast 7 hours of SOT.... :angel: I was thinking about going to 6.0.1 as i have this phone just a few days but i guess i will stick with nougat if i see the bad SOT on 6.0.1
[Nexus 6P General] shadowstep:
An SOT of 7 hours is great. If I were you, and if this is without using any profile, then I won't be messing around with any of the profiles to be honest. I did get an SOT of 7 hours, but that was just once and almost a year back. God knows how hard I've tried to find the settings I was using at that time, but I haven't been able to either find those settings or get that much SOT with any other profile.
[Nexus 6P General] xperator:
Thanks for mention. I see you got hands into interactive tweaking. nice!

I had a look. There is nothing super duper cool about the way the profile is designed. It's kinda doing what AmanuensisOne did. Which is being very conservative. I see a few flaws I would say stay away from it and use another profile as a basis either way I'm here sitting and see if you could make it work or get us something new! :angel:
[Nexus 6P General] pro4ever:
is Saber still best for battery savings on N? or any other you guys recommend
[Nexus 6P General] nathanchance:
ReZero has been pretty solid for me.
[Nexus 6P General] Kappa Lamda:
After trying saber, Deus, Deus revolution, deadpool, glassfish and many other profiles, I decided to stick with ReZero. I found it the more balanced profile. At the end of the day, I am not a SOT hunter!!! I want as more SOT, I can get without much compromise in performance. I just want my phone to last the day.

do u guys enable hotplugging on rezero profile?
[Nexus 6P General] xringo:

don't see rezero on the profiles on ex manager
[Nexus 6P General] Kappa Lamda:
No I don't. I used to though. But as I said. I don't want to sacrifise so much performance for battery life. Besides I found the gain of battery no enough and not even close to the loss of performace.

Anyone have the settings or whay it should look for rezero? I put the profile but I managed drop to 67% battery with 45 mins on screen time :/. Any screenshots of the ex kernel manager? Does my I/o scheduler matter? I currently have Zen.
[Nexus 6P General] xperator:
No there is no extra settings to change. I/O scheduler doesn't affect battery life on 6P

45min is very low! Something is wrong there. Did you just flash Nougat maybe ? Did you check for rogue apps?

You should have 45min SOT by 85percent ( at worst case ). 67 is too bad
[Nexus 6P General] NBAPwns:
Is everyone using Nougat now? Im not sure if i should go to it but it's really tempting are you guys still getting those Android OS, System battery life issues still?

I know that people don't think of it as a battery life profile, but I always seem to come back to Excalibur_v2. Rezero just seems laggy to me.

i have flashed the ninja kernel 'flash' but i dont know where to change this "Sioplus for i/o scheduler" <

---------- Post added at 03:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 PM ----------

i tried out PN Nougat build, and holy sheep it is so damn snappy , felt like 2-4x snappier than any MM build/rom i have tried even PN/Chrome etc. included.

Nougat is an amazing os, but i am back on MM for now because i miss some features that have yet to be included in the Nougat roms.

i am waiting until roms like pn/chroma add their unique simplistic yet most important features and also Resurrection remix , if those 3 add the features they have from their MM builds then it will be so perfect.

just gotta wait it out, and the final thing i would want is xposed compatibility with nougat.
[Nexus 6P General] Prattham:
Everyone wants that :D
[Nexus 6P General] xperator:
It means beside using profiles maybe you should consider trying those for various results.

You can change I/O scheduler in EXKM app ( under miscellaneous )
[Nexus 6P General] leondestiny:
cool thanks luffy ~ !

one more thing, when using profiles, should i also tick these to set up on reboot?

Max Cpu frequency /Min cpu/ Max cpu big cluster/ Min cpu big cluster/Cpu cores/ hexacore mode < these are under cpu options.

and i believe their numbers change when i choose a profile, lastly should i leave hotplug option and thermal untouched yep? (i believe those always remain unchanged when changing profiles.)

edit: and what is the sioplus io scheduler good for? and should i set it to take effect on reboot for every profile i use yep?
[Nexus 6P General] xperator:
You know one piece too ? Nice :svetius::victory:

Yes you tick those.

You can ignore the I/O scheduler part honestly it doesn't help battery or performance on this phone.

These linker errors are perfectly okay. [MENTION=5169465]DespairFactor[/MENTION] said that they arise due to some incompatibilities from his bin-utils.
[Nexus 6P General] Alcolawl:
That's OK. CPU 5, 6, and 7 are symlinked to CPU 4, so whatever setting is applied to CPU 4 is also applied to the rest of the cluster. That error doesn't really mean anything is going wrong, they're just there to make sure the cores are awake when applying the settings. When CPU 4 is onlined it probably wakes up the rest of the cluster with it. All settings should be applying correctly.

thank you so much for all you do for the community! i'm having trouble finding documentation for the profiles. specifically, I was using your scripts in the /system/su.d folder so that things like thermal throtteling would be applied on boot. I notice the EXKM profiles include lines for thermal throtteling as well. Are they going to be automatically applied on boot if we load them in EXKM?

---------- Post added at 06:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:44 PM ----------
