That's unfortunate news. This is my go to kernel. I love Blackbird as well but for some reason can't pass SafetyNet with it installed, but can with this kernel.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Sek0n:
Yep, same here. I tested out Blackbird after I saw that post. Great kernel, but I checked safetynet after seeing your post. No go. :( Will stick with Flash, for now at least.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] an0n981:
Set selinux to enforcing and safety net passes
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MrBrady:
Could have swore I already tried that but it's worth another shot. Thanks for the tip.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Sek0n:
Yep, that was it. Thanks.

I seem to always forget about SELinux for some reason. Has caused me unnecessary problems in the past. lol
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
There is not really an easy way to say this since it is kind of coming out of the blue but I am no longer going to be making Flash Kernel for this device. My heart is just not in it anymore and I've been perpetually tired from working with Git and trying to find things to fix and merge. I am going to be starting school here again in a couple of weeks and I need to have all my focus going to this going forward. I may consider releasing one final build with the January update but that is to be determined. There will be no 7.1.1 update though. Thanks for everything, I'll still be around in other threads and participating in XDA, just can't devote as much time as I would like to this project.

Nathan

PS: As for another kernel to try/flash, I would highly recommend B14CKB1RD by [MENTION=5037435]REV3NT3CH[/MENTION]. This kernel would not have been possible without that one and it's better than this one imo. Definitely give that one a go.

Hi mate,

May I know the advantages of sioplus over zen for being default. I am used to Zen so choose that but I'll be happy to choose if I know some good points over zen.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] harpin14789:
Hey!! It's great to see a kernel for shamu. I only saw that you were making a kernel for 6p. It's good to see you back in the shamu forums. Going to give this a flash and experience the awesomeness.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rignfool:
[MENTION=6842057]The Flash[/MENTION]

How many of the governors/hotplug do you configure?

And which ones?

For instance...

Most people don't use the same values in blu_active and blu_plug that eng.stk does... And get crap results from the combination...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
I'm actually switching to zen as the default next release, sioplus is set as default as it used to be my favorite but I think zen does a little better.

I don't really configure anything, I leave it up to the user to tweak the values.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MrBrady:
I see this has KSM. From what I read that's beneficial on low memory devices. Is the N6 considered a low memory devices these days? What's our advantage to using or not using it?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
That's why it is disabled by default lol. It can still be helpful in certain situations, especially since on N, memory is used more intensively.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MrBrady:
Hopefully this is the right place to provide feedback on 1.1 rc1. It's running great! One thing I've noticed is when the device is awake, Core 1 stays pegged at 100?. This is after dirty flashing Pure Nexus to get the stock kernel and clearing data in KAMod.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] direwolf1:
Interesting. I tried using blu_plug with the default settings, and the results weren't great. Do you have better ones that you recommend?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rignfool:
No...

However... I do know that the default init? values are so wonky that your device is almost unusable...

I'm running Franco currently because he's got a finely tuned interactive... First time I've seen one default... So I gotta try it out... But I have 1.1 on my phone for when an itch needs scratching...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
I prefer feedback via PM but I'll take it here lol. What governor?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MrBrady:
Sorry about that! I'll PM you in the future. No changes from what it ships with - Interactive.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
I don't think I added any patches that would affect that but I'll take a look at the commits when I am off work.

[MENTION=6842057]The Flash[/MENTION] awesome kernel dev, getting almost 4hrs sot, any way or setting possible to keep all 4 cores running even at low battery? and what setting can i do to increase sot even more?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
BCL is disabled, you shouldn't be having cores go offline purely because of low battery. As for settings, you may try using a more conservative governor like barry_allen or zzmoove.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Yasharkhan:
is bcl disabled in the beta 1.1 or in 1.0 too? because ive been using 1.0 for the last few days and still getting disabled cores on low battery, as for those governors, i use kernel auditor and im not seeing any of those that you mentioned in kernel auditor
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MrBrady:
[MENTION=1751716]theflash[/MENTION], After additional testing, this doesn't seem to be related to your kernel. Sorry about that. Dirty flashed Pure Nexus and cores were not stuck until I flashed SuperSu and SuHide. Anybody else have this issue?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
It was disabled in 1.0. I've been reading that even though the driver is disabled it can still have its grasp in other places. I'll look and see what I can do!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Bundizle:
Hello good sir..first of all thank you for the wonderful kernel. I have had 2 reboots while trying to take a picture with the google camera with a flash on. It doesn't even reboot it shuts down. Here is the log.

I am on the latest beta
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Root Wizard:
Try flashing [MENTION=6320543]RatchetPanda[/MENTION] 's throttle script. That should help.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
Unfortunately my N6 seems allergic lately to custom kernels, flashed this on PN 7 and got stuck on the boot animation for over 30 minutes. Booted back to recovery, wiped both caches and restarted, this time it booted up quickly but then it was force close after force close then hard reboots and again boots quickly, a couple of force closes again and hard reboot again... Had to flash the boot.img from the PN zip to go back to stock PN kernel and everything went normal again. I'll try tonight again at home since I'm working all day today and see if my current theme is causing something or if it's phhs su or finally with a clean flash of everything. Really looking forward to using this!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Do you have anything in /sys/fs/pstore?

8.7% overclock, terrible java performance regressions

Phone was running an unencrypted , dmverity-disabled modified stock 7.0 posted on XDA.

Somehow the post was removed.

After patching with your kernel, CF-Bench reports phone overclocked by 8.7% **** and Java scores went down by about 50%. ****

Java is used a lot inside android - *** this is really bad. ***

Java is not part of the kernel.... can you explain why this is happening?

TIA for your comments.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
I have absolutely no idea what those benchmarks are. I tend not to focus on such things. The tweaks I have added should not be performance killers by any means. Others are free to jump in and give their feedback as well.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] kamilmirza:
i don't believe in benchmarks either

majority of people rely on such stupidity; no offense
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
Benchmarking?????
[Nexus 6 Android Development] G0rg0ne:
Same problem with Google Camera, it give me a software restart when I use it. Google Camera is v.4.1.006.126161292. In the sys/fs/pstore I have two files, one is "console-ramoops" and the second is "pmsg-ramoops-0". Oh, I'm on PN Nougat with PN dinamic GApps.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] kamilmirza:
Google Camera is working perfectly here with the same version as in PN7 GApps
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MrBrady:
Google Camera working fine but Snap Camera caused an immediate **** down and wouldn't boot past the boot logo. Had to restore the ROM.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] G0rg0ne:
Nice for you. Now I reflash the original kernel of PN. Same Google camera work fine now.

try fresh install PN7 with FLASH kernel and report back with Google Camera status
[Nexus 6 Android Development] G0rg0ne:
First it was a clean instal of PN. I don't use other kernel before. I don't see any reason to repeat the clean flash again. Sry.

It doesn't matter now.

All my respect for developer work with this kernel and for everything. For now I will stay on default PN kernel. Thx again.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
I test on PN as well, I installed the same camera version and have had no issues. Please upload the console file for me.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wrongway213:
I got the highest benchmark I've ever gotten on this kernel in Antutu - 84.5k. I know that might not mean anything to most of you, but guys who know who I am on here should be aware that I was a major part of Elite, Hydra, Lean, B14CKB1RD testing and stuff for the life of this phone... I have seen just about everything a Nexus 6 kernel is and is not capable of and in terms of pure speed/benchmarks, well, numbers don't lie. This one benches higher than any other kernel yet...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tmo71:
Re: overclock and java regressions

I tried to find a proper kernel benchmark that combined file I/O + IPC through IP sockets between lots of spawning theads. Sadly, most bench apps are number-crunchers.

Still, CF-Bench MALLOC test jumped from 24k to 34k with your kernel *** Amazing ***. AFAIK the kernel is the one allocating memory.

I tried Antutu, but it wont break down the results by test type. I believe CF-Bench Malloc score (way better than 8.7% overclock) proves that your work is great and not just an OC, battery drain wonder.

The Java regressions could be a security, 32/64 bit optimization/libraries/settings, or just a fluke (your focus is on 64bit nexus 6p, Nexus 6 is 32bit).Overall the phone seems zippy, but the placebo effect is big here. I'll try to find a better benchmark but ignoring or condemning benchmarks is not best practice.

I really appreciate your work and specially your documentation - Quality stuff -Thank you :)

To all who may not have ever attempted to make a kernel, please read this. Making a kernel is not an easy task. Even if you have [MENTION=6842057]The Flash[/MENTION] guiding you through every single step, providing all the resources, and answering all your questions, it is a complicated task to make a kernel with all these features, battery life, and stability. I am dedicating this post to [MENTION=6842057]The Flash[/MENTION] as a one on one, Thank You. Thank You for all you have done to help me (you know how you've helped me), and the Nexus 6 community (and 6p :P). This kernel is straight out amazing, even in v1.0/1.1. This is from the standpoint from one who has seen the process of making one, and I appreciate what you have made for us here in the N6 community. Because of you, I have learned what an amazing kernel looks like, and how to make one.

As for this specific kernel, my shamu has never been faster, smoother, and had better battery life than with this kernel. The development of MagiKernel is dedicated to you.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Isley_:
I have a little issue, when my battery is at 18% or less my device shuts down. The only thing I have changed is the color profile. BCL is disabled. Does anyone knows what could be causing this?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] montoya.brandon:
Was just wondering [MENTION=6842057]The Flash[/MENTION] what would be the best app to configure the sound control feature?????
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rignfool:
This is the exact reason BCL is included in the kernel...

Qualcomm made the SOC bigger than the battery... And as the battery starts to quit... Doing intensive tasks at low battery... Causes extreme voltage drop...

BCL mitigates this by capping voltage draw by lowering CPU speed and online cores...

If current voltage drops below a certain level... Your phone panics and goes into an immediate shutdown to keep from harming the battery and/or SOC...

I never understood why turning off BCL was the solution... As opposed to making it not trigger so readily... Or run for so goddamn long

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Ygor Cortes:
This is simply the best kernel I've ever tested on my Nexus 6. It's seriously the perfect kernel for me, I'm SO happy I finally found the solution for the extremely horrible performance on low battery. The only things I'm missing is the battery led and the ability to increase the headphone volume, but everything else is much much more than worth it. Thank you SO MUCH!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Those should already be in the kernel.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Arju:
A bit OT question but as you're not too opposed to OT, I might as well ask. What is your daily driver rom? (Or does it vary?)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
I use a Nexus 6P as my daily driver but I use Pure Nexus (and that's what I use on this device to test). Stable as stock and has a solid assortment of options.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Stroky:
I'm also on Franco right now.

Can you compare these two kernels?

Gesendet von meinem SGP511 mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rignfool:
I have switched to this kernel since that post...

I am trying to combat early shutdown from battery voltage... So I am in search of active hotplugging... I hate what BCL does to usability...

However... I cannot give you an accurate comparison due to the limited usage on this one... Only 2 charge cycles in...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Ygor Cortes:
How to enable the led charging light? I saw a post here showing how to enable it but it didn't work for me.

And under the Sound section in Kernel Adiutor there's only a "Volume Gain" slider. Is this slider for headphones or for the speakers?

Thank you already!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Ah KA. I use EXKM. That should be for the headphones if I am not mistaken belief I am not near my Nexus 6 right now to check.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Root Wizard:
This is better feature wise, and probably in most other aspects.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Franco and I have a lot of the same patches. He tends to keep everything pretty close to stock and optimize the default settings for people. My goal is to provide people with as many options as possible (provided that each feature can be disabled by default unless it is beneficial to everyone) while keeping everything stable. I optimize a little bit but I leave it mostly up to the user to optimize how they want.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gharrrrrr:
And that is why I love this kernel. The options. The base. Really a well done kernel. I am following you and look forward to what else you can provide for us. So far been very happy. Thanks for your work. Cheers dude.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Root Wizard:
Bruh you have a pixel. Go to 7.1 already XD
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MrBrady:
So that leaves me curious, do you make any personal tweaks to the kernel settings at all on your N6? Or just leave it "as shipped"?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
I would personally overclock, change the governor to either nightmare or darkness, enable wake gestures, maple at 1024, and boost headphone sound a little bit.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MrBrady:
Right on! Thanks for the suggestions. I'll give that a try. Running a similar setup currently.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gharrrrrr:
Lol. No I don't. Tapatalk just says that because I modded my build.prop to get assistant working. I love the n6. My fav device. I may get a pixel. I have the n4 n5 and n6 and that is my main one. But I may go to pixel. Skipped the 6p. Sorry for the OT.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
It's possible it's just not seeing the sys path but I have all the commits I need in the kernel lol.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Update!

Just my standard update (I try to have a new release every week if they are substantial enough). Added F2FS commits from upstream and added the proper line to the fstab so it should be good to go. Added the smartmax governor by demand. Also fixed some stuff and set some default values in the ramdisk (stock frequencies, zen at 128, and disabled UKSM by default). Let me know if there are any issues via the process in the OP.

Download FLASH 1.1 for N: Main | Mirror

Changelog: (also on Github)

Add smartmax governor

Add full F2FS support

Add Motorola quick wakeup driver

Fix simple_ondemand GPU governor

Add UKSM (disabled by default)

Set default I/O scheduler to zen and readahead to 128kb

Start kernel at stock frequencies
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Root Wizard:
Did you mean 1280kb or 128kb? If 128kb, why so low?

UPDATE: F2FS not working(at least on /cache). I also unpacked fstab from zip and it appeared stock with no f2fs mounts. Just a heads up.
