[Nexus 6P General] Hrithan2020:
Have you compared the battery life w.r.t. other profiles. For e.g. Darkspice, Heimdall, Ghostpepper.

Just wanted to know how much battery life would be sacrificed.
[Nexus 6P General] .hEiMDaLL.:
Sorry, I can't test RedHawk in the way it's ment to work. It uses intelliactive governor for the little core and I am running ElementalX (which doesn't have intelliactive).

On the other hand, these "tests" are just showing how the profiles perform with my usage habits. To find the right profile for yourself, the best way is to do similar tests with your device.
[Nexus 6P General] tschulieh:
I can agree on the idle. Idk how you did that [MENTION=449070]heimdal[/MENTION] but I haven't changed anything on app or rom but the deepsleep is insane. I'd say my phone is turned off lol. But as soon as you turn screen on the phone is reactive right away no delay or so. Really impressive.

Concerning the waze navigation, I remembered that I used Maddog with big cores min freq at 633. I tried that this morning with HD V3 too and it seems the the little cores are staying in the lower freqs now.

Big min at 384: little freqs are around 960,1240,1333 and 1488

Big min at 633: little freqs are around 600,672,760 and 960.

Sure sometimes they scale up to the 1240 but coming down much faster again.

Ima test this setting throughout a few days, but it seems to work good so far and big min freq 633 doesn't really affect battery much more even during light usage like browsing and texting.

Maybe you wanna try it and see yourself [emoji6]

Gonna report back

Thank you!

Thats an interesting point regarding the min freq.

I'm actually trying to tweak that with go_highspeed_load and highspeed_freq and there were some errors in the frequency tables, which I fixed in v4.

So if this doesn't work out and those settings you're actually testing play well I'm gonna revert the min freq back to 633 for v5.
[Nexus 6P General] KyloRen:
Anyone had an issue with Ex Kernel plus the ex kernel manager where by the Max CPU on cluster 2 sticks at 1824mhz and it won't change to the stock value of 1958mhz even if you select it?
[Nexus 6P General] peconaut:
Yeah I have the same problem. I did a fresh install and everything but couldn't get it to stick.

The cluster 2 might be 1958mhz by default because if I unclick apply on boot and close the app wait a few seconds an open it again the frequency it's 1958 MHz instead 1824mhz. Try it and see if you get the same result. Afterwards I apply on boot but not sure if the setting will stick
[Nexus 6P General] km00000:
How come it says Plasma kernel next to RedHawks 3.0? I can use it with Kylo right?

Been using your V3 profile now for about 2 days.

It's running fine performance and standby time really great, battery drain on screen on I feel is a bit higher than DarkSpice6 I was using before.

I only changed the I/O settings to bfq and 128 readahead, seems to perform better for me on Twisted with stock (kylo based) kernel
[Nexus 6P General] km00000:
The one that is for Nexus 6P is RedHawk 2.1 which was last updated in January.
[Nexus 6P General] appledroid:
V3 is really, really, good! Battery life is great during screen on, but my only comparison is default EX settings. Standby is wonderful as well.

(My usage is primarily Facebook, NYT, and Relay Pro.)
[Nexus 6P General] .hEiMDaLL.:
Thanks for you feedback.

Don't know how many apps you are running, but if you're not doing extrem multitasking you should try SIOplus, as BFQ has (had?) some issues with random reads/writes.

I'm using FIOPS as standard for my profiles.

---------- Post added at 03:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 PM ----------

Thanks, glad it works so well! :o
[Nexus 6P General] KyloRen:
Yeah it seems you're getting the exact same issue too, it'll say 1958 MHz sometimes then 1824 MHz most of the time. It seems that when I check my frequency times that 1958 MHz never gets used. I've reached out to flar2 the dev for the EX Kernel and the EX Kernel Manager software but he basically told me not to mess with any of the values and leave them as stock which I have done but the second cluster won't actually stay at stock value.
[Nexus 6P General] :
I have just added the post by .hEiMDaLL. to the OP.
[Nexus 6P General] mattkroeder:
Thanks to .hEiMDaLL. as well.

Pure Nexus w/ Elementalx. I've finally been able to break 4 hours SOT with 20% still remaining with the script. That may not sound like much but I've never really been able to do better than around 3.5 hours SOT since getting my 6P. This was achieved while I was out on LTE most of the day and used GPS for a bit too.
[Nexus 6P General] peconaut:
I just install it a few hours ago and I can definitely say its snappier but no as good in battery life as DarkSpice R6. I gotta test it out more but just first impressions

His answer is not really helpful because we need to change the CPU frequency for the profiles to properly work or am I mistaken
[Nexus 6P General] flar2:
This is the stock behaviour. I've addressed this several times on the forums.

If you look at cpu times, you will see that despite reading 1824, it is in fact ramping up to the max frequency when it needs to. Please do not worry about it. There is a service called perfd that controls this and you will get best results if it is left alone.

You do NOT need to modify CPU frequencies at all to get the benefits of these tweaks.
[Nexus 6P General] .hEiMDaLL.:
Thanks @Corndude :o:good:

Thanks to you guys who help and motivate us with your feedback and suggestions ;):good:

Most profiles out here should set max freq properly. Is the max freq displayed correct when you check the frequency usage in EXKM or BBS?

... and @flar2 said somewhere before that this is normal behaviour for EXKM and the freqs work as they should.

EDIT: well I need to write faster... flar2 answered already...

I'm working on R8 of darkspice to try and iron out these lag issues people are experiencing, I personally haven't really had them but I'm trying to make the governer respond faster.
[Nexus 6P General] steviemch:
I've been running R7.5 since yesterday and experienced no lag either, in fact it was noticeably smoother than previous versions. It's strange how subjective the experience can be.
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
Yeah apps will play a big factor, I believe I run a fairly minimal setup so so!e people who run !ore apps and services may in theory get lag, this new version should just identify the load a bit better and respond according, I'm experimenting with a new go high-speed load value.

Edit: Wasn't having much success so I'm reworking almost all the values, may release under a new codename as the changes vary so much in style.
[Nexus 6P General] Suicidal Chicken:
I can attest, that it DOES use 1958Mhz when required to. I too first thought this was a problem, but there's many variables that are controlling the clock speeds. Don't worry about it, Flar knows what he's doing!
[Nexus 6P General] Half Man Half Biscuit:
Ok i just tested HeimDall V3 for 2 days completely

It's very fast and snappy,no stutters or lags (well just a tiny bit in Playstore but nothing extreme),on the other hand it's a bit more intense on the battery then DarkSpice or RedHawk.

On the other hand though,with HeimDall V3 i did get 8h+ (near 9h) screen on time with probably 1:45min of heavy Youtube use,2h of music,reddit about 1h and searching for new apps on the Playstore for about 1:30h.

So honestly i can't complain,it's a great script heimdall

good job
[Nexus 6P General] troymz1:
Anyone have pics of exkm of what my settings should look like with Redhawk v3.0?
[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
Little cluster.....
[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
Big cluster :)
[Nexus 6P General] troymz1:
Mine didn't load all that.. Set things manually? R50 6.0..

And I just download the text file and remove the .txt and put in exkm folder?

Edit: sorry little cluster is a match.. Big cluster missed boostpulse duration
[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
Are you on the intelliactive governor? Mine loaded fine with the profile in EXKM.
[Nexus 6P General] Pilz:
I've been running the ghost script for a few days now and I haven't noticed any improvements over my usual on demand gov. My battery life is about the same/worse depending on what in doing, so I'll just stock with what I normally use for now.
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
If you browse fb through browser check out metal from the play store, it's a lightweight client that let's you view the browser version with a few added features like night mode! And it doesn't run all the time and kill your battery or have crazy permissions.
[Nexus 6P General] abbz123:
Redhawk 2.0 plus PN and kylo yielded 4 hours SOT over 20 hours with 36 percent remaining.
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
I think you might have some rogue apps. For my in a 24 hour period I usually have around 3-4 hours of SOT and am typically around 75% - 65% depending how much I play music etc.
[Nexus 6P General] abbz123:
Please tell me you made an error here?

You're telling me you can achieve 8-10 screen on time over a period of 48 hours?
[Nexus 6P General] THATTON:
Do you know where to save them as a profile in FKM or EKM?
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
Correct, considering I'm a fairly light user and don't have many apps that drain battery, it will vary a bit on usage. If I'm more heavy on it maybe not the full 48. I'll do a full cycle for the screenshots soon.

---------- Post added at 11:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 PM ----------

Unfortunately I do not as I use kernel adiuter, that is free however and should work with both kernels.
[Nexus 6P General] Jsilver73:
In ekm it's /tools/user settings (then press the plus button to either save or restore)
[Nexus 6P General] THATTON:
So are people saying that you have to load the profile after each reboot though? Mine seem to stick.

---------- Post added at 04:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 PM ----------

When I load the script for Butterfly, it's sets the highspeed_freq to 1440 but there isn't actually a 1440 slot on the little core, correct? I see 1478...
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
Are you sure you're using nexus 6p script? Cause it was working fine for me.
[Nexus 6P General] THATTON:
Yeah. I downloaded the zip that had all of them.

I just downloaded the zip again to make sure. It definitely sets the freq to 1440 on the little cluster and I believe 1824 on the big cluster.

[Nexus 6P General] pokedroid:
[MENTION=4752299]Alcolawl[/MENTION] quick question, I noticed with the Skyhawk 2.0 script, every time I execute it it defaults to interactive governor in kernel audiutor. I am under the impression that the the benefits of Redhawk appear when using kylokernel and intelliactive governor. Does the script default to interactive as a safety measure (since most kernels don't have intelliactive, or maybe there's been word of instability and I somehow missed it in the thread conversation) or is this possibly a mistake with the script? I mainly ask because if using intelliactive has somehow proven to not be a good governor option, I will obv. Stop manually adjusting to it.

Thx, the scripts are very handy. Your work is very appreciated.
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
If it's staying interactive it may not be executing, how are you doing so? I would recommend trying the terminal route and just using the sh command. Then just save it as a profile in your kernel tweaking app for apply on boot. Script is working fine for me on r33.1
[Nexus 6P General] AleCicc:
[MENTION=5886947]soniCron[/MENTION] I'm using 5X Butterfly on my 6P with no change. Do you think I could have problems? Nothing strange so far and the phone is really smooth!
[Nexus 6P General] rndll:
Same thing happened to me on R33.2. It doesn't change the governor to Intelliactive and the minimum CPU 2 freq to 633. Everything else is good. I used the terminal method. I just manually changed the settings in EKM.

---------- Post added at 09:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 PM ----------

It looks like this is normal behavior that I just didn't notice until now. When the CPU reaches 45C+ the CPU2 cores will start to go offline. I guess this is the SD810 issue a lot of people have been talking about. I switched to Ubermallow and Kylo 33.2 with the Redhawk V2 script that disables the aggressive thermal control which has lessened the issue but I still see atleast 1 core going offline when I get past 45C+.
[Nexus 6P General] ming86:
I don't care it throttle down CPU/cores , but I do care it does not really charging when I'm using the phone... charging speed drop to 5%-30% per hour (< 1A) is not acceptable. it is only light usage (browsing web/chatting/gps navigation) :(
[Nexus 6P General] rndll:
That's weird. I usually get +/-2.8amps when I'm below 50% charge even when I'm using the phone according to Ampere.
[Nexus 6P General] ming86:
Might be something wrong with my unit..

Mind to tell what is your living place temperature?
[Nexus 6P General] rndll:
It's 27C right now but the CPU is averaging around just 38C so that might be reason I'm still getting the normal charging rates?
[Nexus 6P General] troymz1:
Intelliactive on both?
[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
Nope. Just on the little cluster :)
[Nexus 6P General] troymz1:
So why would the profile not load everything?
[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
Can't really answer that. I apply the profile 2-3 times just to make sure it all loads. I just know it works. If it doesn't, then I change the file extension to .sh and run it with my scripter app :)
[Nexus 6P General] troymz1:
What app is that? And do you have a pic of the CPU boost options? And touchboost is disabled?
[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
It's an app that runs within my old Rom Toolbox app. Had that thing for 5+ years and it still works!! Yes, touchboost is disabled, and here ya go :)
[Nexus 6P General] troymz1:
Thanks for all your help. One last question. What app could I use to run the sh script?
[Nexus 6P General] x.Orville.x:

[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
If you use root explorer, you can long press the script until the menu pops up....."open with" then select linux script handler. It'll ask you if you want to execute the script, and there ya go :)

Thanks so much!

Latest 3 days I tested RedHawk_v3 and Heimdall_v3.

I had the best idle experience with Heimdall (still awesome with RedHawk) but I've noticed that the apps are "considerably" slower when opening respect RedHawk (more snappier imho).

By the way, 1d and 9h with battery and 4h SOT with whatsapp, telegram, browsing, light gaming...

Keep it up!

Was thinking about joining the darkside and doing some testing of redhawk. What version of the kernal are you guys running? From the things that I have read the 4.9 version seems like the one for me, but it looks like a lot of people are running 6.0 not sure which one I should be giving a go!

Also thinking about going the whole hog and swapping to ubermallow or uberstock anyone here running either of those?
[Nexus 6P General] pa.pn2:
Yes im on Ubermallow and kylo 50 6.0 with red hawk 3 settings

No complaints. U won't regret it:)
[Nexus 6P General] peconaut:
You download the wrong one. Go to the first post and find the developer Download Folder. There is a folder name EX Kernel Manager Profile inside there you'll find DarkSpice7.5.txt file not .sh file. Once you download remove the .txt extension and place it in the gov_profiles folder
[Nexus 6P General] troymz1:
Has all the bells and whistles? Comparable to what ROM?
[Nexus 6P General] peconaut:
I recommend a battery focus ROM then you can add the customization with Cataclysm Mod and Xposed Framework for the ads

[Nexus 6P General] dastinger:
To everyone that has doubts whether the profiles are loading correctly or not, open up the profile you are applying with any text editor using your computer or a file manager on your phone (though it's easier to work with two screens) and compare the values set on your kernel manager app and on the file. It's pretty straight forward.
[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
Good call. A before and after screenshot works pretty good too.
[Nexus 6P General] dastinger:
Yes, that could work as well and it's easier but you would only be comparing values. Looking at the file using a text editor, you are able to make sure that all the values that are supposed to change, actually changed :)
[Nexus 6P General] azsl1326:
I believe you can just click on the file in root explorer and select 'execute'. Don't need to long press.

[Nexus 6P General] cougzzz:
Pure with elementalx.
[Nexus 6P General] .hEiMDaLL.:
Thanks :) v4 is coming and some surprise, too.

Yeah EX has no sioplus, wouldn't reommend sio, though. Thought you where on an other kernel. I use EX with fiops. You can check the link in my signature, there is a guide about governors and schedulers.

what ROM and Kernel?

great results!

Sorry, answering here took me some time.

I'm quite busy with the final tests of HEIMDALL v4.

Release is probably this weekend and it might be a double/tripple release.

Had been experimenting with elementalx and ondemand governors and the results were very surprising.

One of them definitely will be named LOKI, guess that's gonna be the version especially for the elementalx governor... I'm thinking of a name for the ondemand version, but as testing of both version is already finished, HEIMDALL v4 is my priority for now.

EDIT:

ondemand-version just got it's name: VIDAR

[Nexus 6P General] KyloRen:
DarkSpice 7.5 seems to be the best for me at the moment. Got around 2.5 hours of SoT from around 40% of battery yesterday. I will continue to use it today and see what I get out of it and come back with some screenshots.
[Nexus 6P General] .hEiMDaLL.:
HEIMDALL v4 adresses that issue with some new settings. I hope they don't affect battery much, but I'm running it for some time now and within my actual battery period of 21:15h with some benchmarking, webbrowsing and messaging I'm currently at 5:40 SOT with still 24% battery left. Brightness is set to 30% auto.

Regarding the release of LOKI and VIDAR: I might have to postpone the release a little because I'm having some issues with high frequencies and ramping up too fast. I already wrote [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] a PM and hope he is able to explain what causes this (and how to fix it)

Regarding VIDAR there is a (big) change. As [MENTION=4752299]Alcolawl[/MENTION] has released his ondemand tweaks and that governor has not many tunables to tweak there probably won't be an ondemand release from my side. I'm gonna decide that on how much his final release uses the same values as mine, but VIDAR development in his current iteration is halted and might come to you under another name.

The new VIDAR will be an elementalx exclusive tweak just as LOKI - it's gonna be somewhat like a reverse version of LOKI. Let's hope flar2 can shed some light on the issues I'm currently experiencing, so that I can release both tweaks soon.
[Nexus 6P General] Alcolawl:
I'm a little busy this weekend. I figured I'd give it a day or two to gain feedback and then make tweaks. If you wanted to combine strategies for an OnDemand governor, I'm all ears. :D
