Hey buddy, running maddog and I must say its turned me into a believer. I've been tweaking Android for years and haven't found drastic battery tweaks that worked besides amplify and greenify... until now.

Wonder work everyone's done on these interactive tweaks.

I was curious if you had recommendations for other kernel and ROM tweak settings. Virtual ram, minfree values, etc
[Nexus 6P General] Alcolawl:
I've tried playing around with Virtual Memory settings and stuff before. I did more so on my M9. Now-a-days, tweaking Virtual Memory values doesn't really make a huge difference but there are guides you can read online if you wanna give it a shot.

I would, however, recommend L-SPEED, which is linked in my signature below. That has like 40+ different tweaks and is incredibly easy to setup and use.
[Nexus 6P General] giant22000:
There are shell script executers in the play store. Just type in the play store search ".sh" and you will find them.
[Nexus 6P General] BigiD16:
Is it bad to set it to 1954?
[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
I really don't think you need to over clock anything on this phone at all. Stock values work really well. Why open up a can of worms if you don't need to? If you do OC, just go one notch above the stock value. However, this is just my opinion. I'm sure someone with more knowledge on the matter could help you out more than me :)
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
I've been running that for months with no issues so far. Mach chicken has been achieved.

On another note with the RedHawk script and 1954 big 1932 little my phone is definitely a lot smoother, faster, and I get better battery life than butterfly with the same settings or stock settings.
[Nexus 6P General] dsmpampis:
Guys I'm a little bit skeptic about using the scripts, don't get me wrong, I know that they're not going to harm my device but right now I think my battery life is good, I'm running on PureNexus with EX kernel (stock settings) . Maybe I try the kernel without touchboost to see if I'm going to have better battery life and after that I'll try one of the scripts.
[Nexus 6P General] Jsilver73:
RedHawk v2.0 is definitely a keeper for me - I am loving the fluidity and responsiveness (I prize performance over battery life) having said that I have just hit 4.5 hours SOT with 38% left - that is with GPS on, wifi scanning always on, 60%brightness ,sync on ,phone calls ,browsing ,streaming etc (basically like [MENTION=5886947]soniCron[/MENTION]s philosophy, I like to use my device as it was designed so no cheating switching things off. Performance has been excellent throughout.
[Nexus 6P General] Jsilver73:
Edit - so I'm a very happy customer now as I've gone through the 6h SOT with everything running, excellent performance and 17% left in the bank :)

Ubermallow /KYLO /RedHawk v2.0

Thank you [MENTION=5886947]soniCron[/MENTION] and [MENTION=290527]alco[/MENTION]wal for making our anglers even more delicious :good::cool:
[Nexus 6P General] Tanged:
Is RedHawk only compatible with Kylo?
[Nexus 6P General] Jsilver73:
Well i guess it will work with any kernel that has intelliactive gov - but if you haven't tried Kylo give it a go, you will not be disappointed - and you can always go back if you are (but you won't be ;))
[Nexus 6P General] nadiros:
Correct, Redhawk was made for Intellactive governor which Kylo has and ElementalX does not.
[Nexus 6P General] y2whisper:
Where in the app do I find that? or do i just load the elemental app instead?
[Nexus 6P General] zikronix:
What version of kylo because apparently there was some drama over in the dev forum and [MENTION=5169465]DespairFactor[/MENTION] was like eff it Im out! Looking at the downloads here https://renderserver.net/browse?path=DespairFactor/angler/kernels Looks like Kylo.R33.angler.UBER5.3.zip is the right one but whats the difference between that at the 4.9 version?
[Nexus 6P General] giant22000:
From what I understand 4.9 is more battery and 5.3 is more for performance. Check out despair development on Google+. Very active over there.
[Nexus 6P General] DespairFactor:
It's all over here https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/117685307734094084120

I am using drive for all my files now.
[Nexus 6P General] abbz123:
Testing kylo and Redhawk 2.0..its snappy as F.
[Nexus 6P General] zikronix:
Obviously kylo has more options than elemental. I rand the Redhawk 2.0 script and noticed that Cluster 2 is set as interactive and not intelliactive. Is this correct?

also under the governor i noticed that the following were not enabled

two_phase_freq

sync_freq

sampling_down_factor

up_threshold_any_cpu_load

up_threshold_any_cpu_freq

Should these be enabled?
[Nexus 6P General] Jsilver73:
Yes that's right - interactive is for big and intelliactive for little - don't mess with any of the other settings, if you flashed the latest RedHawk script everything is as it is meant to be, but you may want to try sioplus scheduler ;)

honestly after trying out the different profiles and scripts on elementalx i find the elementalx govenor and the htcm9 profile to be the best on my 6p.
[Nexus 6P General] KyloRen:
What sort of results are you getting from this? Such as SOT and general performance?

---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 PM ----------

Which version of darkspice are you using?
[Nexus 6P General] mattkroeder:
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here? Trying to execute the darkspice script in terminal emulator with root privileges. Still getting permission denied.

Thanks
[Nexus 6P General] :
Where can I find the darkspice settings/script? Not using ex btw.

[MENTION=4279176]mattkroeder[/MENTION] this is not a shellscript. It's for ex kernel only.
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
Awesome results man! I dont know if anyone has been close to 10 hour SOT! Here is a basic cycle of my phone with medium usage and some gaming and comic reading, the bbs cycle did start around 75% not 100 as I did a reboot.
[Nexus 6P General] dukat0s:
I must thank you

Your scripts works perfectly here .same results today
[Nexus 6P General] mattkroeder:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=48034

There is a shell script version though which is what I was trying.

May I ask how you are running the scripts? Thanks
[Nexus 6P General] dukat0s:
[MENTION=4279176]mattkroeder[/MENTION] simple load it through Exkernel Manager APK
[Nexus 6P General] KyloRen:
Are you using darkspice beta?
[Nexus 6P General] dukat0s:
this days yes. i love ghostpeper too .give them a shot.:angel:
[Nexus 6P General] :
Anyone else have the issue of androidfilehost always showing "not found"?
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
delete the ;amp from the URL its an XDA labs glitch.
[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
Kylo r43 6.0 stock settings with touchboost + Screw'd rom ain't bad either. Without WiFi I might add :)
[Nexus 6P General] azsl1326:
Is this error expected on DarkSpice? Running ElementalX.
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
Likely not something you can tweak or set to zero on that kernel, ignore it.
[Nexus 6P General] Tanged:
For loading scripts in ExKM, which settings do we need to set to load on boot?
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
all the governer options, as well as CPU\input and touchboost
[Nexus 6P General] RASanchez007:
[MENTION=5058936]dukat0s[/MENTION] did you install Power Nap as that guide you posted said to?
[Nexus 6P General] gauravahluwalia:
Non-xposed alternatives to amplify

Hey guys,

Probably a dumb question, but as I have seen quite a few say that running xposed screws the SoT I have been thinking of removing it. But that means losing amplify as well. So how would I go about controlling my wakelock?

Running ghost pepper n getting around 4:30-5 SoT over a period of 24 hours. Will be trying darkspice beta soon. On elementalX 1.04 n stock rom
[Nexus 6P General] jamespat93:
I changed the darkspice beta file you linked to from .pdf to .sh but it still won't load through Exkernel Manager like other profiles.

Have I done something wrong?
[Nexus 6P General] dastinger:
Yes, to load it on the EXKM you need the txt version.
[Nexus 6P General] jamespat93:
Thanks, got it working now.
[Nexus 6P General] dukat0s:
yes
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
It definitely doesn't screw it but it does increase drain , I can get up to 8 sot an I run xposed without greenify or amplify . Simply uninstall those bad apps that drain battery and find better ones, no need for amplify or greenify anymore.
[Nexus 6P General] mickouneyy:
You really think that xposed as a negative effect on battery ?

I tought app like Amplify, AppOpsXposed and Greenify allow us to extend battery life.

What would cause xposed framework to be a battery drainer ?
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
Not a lot of drain but a little bit because it has to run an external framework and additional services on top of it, also increased memory and CPU usage, ever so slightly so like I said it won't make a huge difference, the biggest one is the apps you have and use.
[Nexus 6P General] Suicidal Chicken:
I do agree with you, that these apps aren't really needed anymore.

However, saying that - my two top apps that are hounding my wakelock triggers are Facebook messenger, and WhatsApp. Both of these are vital to use, but I can't find a suitable replacement.

Facebook messenger absolutely destroys my battery, and I've tried Disa but for the life of me, I can't get a long with it. Do you know a good replacement?
[Nexus 6P General] dastinger:
Why didn't you like Disa? It works perfectly for me.
[Nexus 6P General] Maxamillion:
Nvm
[Nexus 6P General] duminduweera:
DarkSpiceBeta works well for me, but I still have some micro lags in the UI, would [MENTION=5058936]dukat0s[/MENTION] have anything in mind to tune darkspicebeta to be a bit more performance oriented?

will increasing the the hispeed_freq to 768MHZ in the a53 cluster do that, or does anything else come to your mind?
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
decrease above_highspeed_delay in increments of 10000
[Nexus 6P General] chefp2010:
Is touchboost supposed to be disabled and just out of curiosity when I installed the profile in exkm when I go to input boost it say 1344 for first core and "0"s for the rest do I leave that way or change to 0 and set it to boot that way? Thx great so far!
[Nexus 6P General] molepole:
Hey guys with disabling touch boost, it's a bit confusing. Do you turn it to disable and then turn it on via power button or do you just leave the power button off?
[Nexus 6P General] rndll:
The power icon just means "apply on boot"
[Nexus 6P General] senthilrameshjv:
Doesnt it make Google now inactive?

---------- Post added at 02:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:03 PM ----------

That's an interesting thought. I run with greenify, amplify and power nap. When I had the phone as stock for the first day, I could only get a max of 3.5 sot over 12 hr usage.

Now with similar usage I could go longer at least 6 more hours and half an hour more sot..

It could also be due to the fact of PN + ex and also the scripts.

I'll run a day in Lte without these apps.. May be tomorrow..

Edit: the main reason I want to cut wakelocks and hibernate is due to the fact I gave location sensing apps like Google now and fit used regularly. Also during my kitkat times I've made some tests and determine with and without Google now, the battery is pretty much the same.
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
set it to disabled and in input boost just type 0 and hit enter and it will set them all to 0.
[Nexus 6P General] mickouneyy:
I will do a test and run only Kylo Kernel and DarkSpice beta and see if greenify and amplify are still usefull or not. You're intriguing me ;)

BTW, DarkSpice is the best profile I've used, great work :)
[Nexus 6P General] Dbj.Dhaval:
How to do that there are many values over there like 50000 672000:60000 864000:20000
[Nexus 6P General] Suicidal Chicken:
Don't get me wrong, it works - but in my honest opinion it's ugly, and quite clunky. This is just MY opinion, and others will have theirs.
[Nexus 6P General] dastinger:
Of course, your opinion. Was just wondering why you didn't like it since I think it's fine.
[Nexus 6P General] KyloRen:
Finally got around to factory resetting my phone. Popped EX Kernel on it, re rooted it, put xposed back on with literally two modules and now running darkspice. Never had such good results before this. Must be getting about an hour of SOT from around 15% of battery but this is from light use such as browsing, texting and a bit of calling. I am yet to try it out on heavy usage such as media.

Performance in some apps has taken a slight hit but its only noticeable in apps such as reddit is fun when the menu pops out at the side.
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
sorry forgot to mention just change the first value .
[Nexus 6P General] The Destroyer:
I've been having sub-par results with the scripts ever since switching to Kylo Kernel. I know its one of the best you can get, but I got much better SOT with ElementalX. I might try going back to ElementalX and see if I can get the same results I used to get when I used the 5x based scripts. I've been getting 4.5-5 hrs SOT with Kylo and the latest 6p scripts, but I was previously getting 5-6 hrs SOT with ElementalX with the same habits daily. I also used to get at least 15 mins SOT before dropping from 100 to 99%. Now it happens in 3-4 mins.
[Nexus 6P General] KyloRen:
What 5X based scripts were you using to get that sort of SOT?
[Nexus 6P General] Slartibartfast_:
Didn't get a response in the other thread so thought I'd ask here and see if any fellow 6P owner had the same experience:

Forgot to mention I'm using stock ROM (with xposed) and ElementalX Kernel.
[Nexus 6P General] The Destroyer:
Stable 2.0, GhostPepper and Butterfly.
[Nexus 6P General] KyloRen:
I was using the 5X Butterfly settings for quite a while with the big CPU at around 1728mhz (I think) and the little CPU at 1428mhz (I think), not exactly sure of the CPU values at the top of my head. However, those settings were pretty amazing for me but when you look at it you're technically underclocking your device so you're bound to get some good results there.
[Nexus 6P General] elreydenj:
I have the same question....

---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 PM ----------

Thank you. Do you think knocking it down to 40000 would have an impact on battery? A noticeable one?
[Nexus 6P General] The Destroyer:
That does make a lot of sense. The phone definitely didn't feel as fast but I did really appreciate the added battery life. I might just go back to them and see if I can get similar results using Kylo Kernel.

Which script are you currently running?
[Nexus 6P General] KyloRen:
I am currently running darkspice beta. Pretty much blown away by it, I'm a light user in terms of browsing here, reddit, texting, WhatsApp and a bit of calling and I am getting around half an hour SOT from 5% of battery but this is slightly inconsistent and can vary at times.
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
Glad your liking it , its basically the 6P version so should play nicely, and similarly to the other profiles .
[Nexus 6P General] chefp2010:
Just so I'm correct do I just put your profile darkspice in elemental/gov_profiles or do I put in same exact location as above and then go into user setting and add a path and if so how do I enter this path?
[Nexus 6P General] GatorsUF:
Since trying this mod I've had a real delay in the finger print sensor. I also have had a few times where the while phone lagged to the point I had to restart the phone.
[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
Put it in the governor profile section. And remove the file extension :)
[Nexus 6P General] chefp2010:
Thx great ....if you don't mind me asking is that crazy alpha 2 a ghost pepper profile and how do you like it and may I ask if you could share that w me please? And would it be safe to say its a 6p profile?
[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
Crazy alpha 2 is on old script that Sonicron came up with a while back when he first started doing scripts for us all. I believe it's a stock script in the EXKM app. So it should be there already :)
[Nexus 6P General] chefp2010:
If you don't mind me asking which profile do you use and why do you like it and what kind of daily things do you do w phone as in like a lot of use or average use?
[Nexus 6P General] d08speed3:
What's the description for DarkSpice Beta?
[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
I use a script from time to time called Sidious 2.0 which is for the Kylo kernel. I'm a moderate user with generally an hours worth of phone calls a day, lots of texts, web browsing, and XDA time. However,.after using most all of the scripts, I've decided to just use either the Kylo or Ex kernels with stock settings and I generally pull these type of stats all the time :)
[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
Sorry. Forgot this :)
[Nexus 6P General] azsl1326:
Just curious, what type of cell signal do you generally get? Beginning to believe that my lack luster battery performance is directly correlated to my poor cell signal. I almost never get green - always in yellow or orange.
[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
Oh dude, cell signal is probably the #1 battery killer there is. I'm generally about 80% in the yellow, and the other 20 varies between red/green.
[Nexus 6P General] gianton:
10h with WiFi off... what awake screen off do you get with WiFi always enabled?
[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
It's a little better, not as much as you might think though.
[Nexus 6P General] senthilrameshjv:
What are the two modules? Amplify and Greenify? :P
[Nexus 6P General] KyloRen:
Greenify and Gravity box!
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
your getting 9.5 hours of screen on time on stock settings? :confused:

It is basically the 6P version of ghostpepper.
[Nexus 6P General] d08speed3:
But there is a 6P version of ghostpepper?
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
But it uses the bullhead target loads which IMHO kind of defeats the purpose of using the of the tweaks . I spent hours calculating the nominal AND efficient loads for the angler device (previously not done) and used that for base for my target loads, and a few other minor tweaks.
[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
Not 9.5. Just 7-7.5. But yes, stock settings.
[Nexus 6P General] KyloRen:
Could you provide us with a screenshot of your EX Kernel Manager app with the settings for this?

Do you turn on the apply on boot for the CPU frequencies or just leave them alone as you're just using stock frequencies anyway?
[Nexus 6P General] d08speed3:
Just loaded it up. What Gov does it use? I was using RedHawk for kylo kernel and its still on intellective.
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
Interactive for both, disable touch boost and input/CPU boost.
[Nexus 6P General] babtron:
Removed
[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
Big cluster....
[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
Little cluster. The last 4 values are the same. And yea, I just let it boot up as is :)

[MENTION=5323968]xSilas43[/MENTION] Darkspice is awesome, very very smooth and great battery life. Thanks for ur work, very appreciated !
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
I'm glad it working well for you! :victory:
[Nexus 6P General] sjknight413:
How do we disable CPU boost? In ex kernel manager there's an option to disable touch boost and options for CPU boost but no option to specifically disable CPU boost.

Also I'm new to the nexus 6P, longtime Nexus 5 user. What can I expect from using your darkspice beta profile?
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
You can expect a smoother experience with a longer battery life.
[Nexus 6P General] sjknight413:
Hmm strangely I don't have that option!
[Nexus 6P General] sandfreak:
I'm glad you posted the screenshot, I just compared to mine out of curiosity and realized the values were not the same. So I went into root explorer and executed the script again. No difference. So I removed the .sh and placed it in the ex gov profiles folder. Opened ex and applied profile, still no change. I then tried applying cyanlionr6 which I thought I'd been using for weeks but noticed no change there as well. Finally, I then added the .sh extension to the file and applied using fx explorer which did work.

Apparently I just can't get root explorer, or the profiles in exkm to work.
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
Your kernel probably doesn't allow it, so just set the boost frequency to 0.

I don't think the profiles can change the input boost options, so you'd have to manually do it, if you delete your gov profiles folder the app will re add the scripts as they are bundled with the app, so those should work . what kernel are you on? could you tell me some of the values in your governer options sections? or take a screenshot .
[Nexus 6P General] sandfreak:
ElementalX 1.08
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
yes the values all applied correctly so nothing to worry about, just change the input/cpu boost options manually.
[Nexus 6P General] sandfreak:
That's only when using profiles right? When using the scripts the input/CPU boost values DO change, correct? This is what mine looks like after executing the script.
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
Correct, the profiles have limitations on what settings they can change , the scripts set everything for you.
[Nexus 6P General] bobbarker2:
GP? You mean profile and GhostPepper, right?
[Nexus 6P General] chefp2010:
I can't seem for the life of me find the most updated GPr profile I'm not sure if its loaded in the manager or if I have to use the one in the guide I've been pointed in evert direction but nothing shows what the correct location is ?
[Nexus 6P General] abbz123:
Hey what radio are you gents using? 2.50? 2.15? I downgraded today and noticed a pretty significant battery boost. Using 2.15 now, give it a try!

Currently using Pure nexus cmte and EK 1.08 / spiceydarkness ;)

No xposed.
[Nexus 6P General] Dbj.Dhaval:
I am using darkspice but strangely I am not getting good battery life ie only 3 hrs of sot.. Performance wise it is great..
[Nexus 6P General] nadiros:
The most updated Ghostpepper profile is actually Darkspice ;)

[Nexus 6P General] KyloRen:
[MENTION=5323968]xSilas43[/MENTION] I'm using DarkSpiceBeta as I mentioned earlier in the thread, still blown away by it. Are you planning to advance on it any further? If not, is there any other way we could push it to get even better battery life, maybe limiting Max CPU's?
[Nexus 6P General] babtron:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=48034

Yes, fastboot.
[Nexus 6P General] Lucius1972:
Guys, I just applied darkspicebeta by loading the script for the big and little core, disabling touchboost and set input boost frequency to 0 under CPU boost. Is this the correct way?
[Nexus 6P General] chefp2010:
Yes!
[Nexus 6P General] nadiros:
Sounds about right to me. CPU boost should have these values for input boost frequency,

0:0 1:0 2:0 3:0 4:0 5:0 6:0 7:0

as well as 0 for boost milliseconds.

If using EXKM, allow these two settings to be applied at every boot.
[Nexus 6P General] babtron:
Just throwing this out there for anyone who might have missed it.

If using EXKM, download the .txt version and put it into the /ElementalX/gov_profiles folder. You can also delete the .txt if you'd like :)
[Nexus 6P General] xSilas43:
delete the governer profiles folder and re open exkm.

do you have BBS installed? likely something else is draining your battery.

You could try hexacore mode or yeah reducing the max freq the big CPU but honestly I don't think the latter will make much difference. I will be working on the profiles but I'm not sure what else to tweak on them as I've been getting great results, probably just more fine tuning.

yes this is correct.
