glad to know i can use both, i have spectrum set to balance.

i only have wingoku , where is that wingoku battery saving profile ?

is it this one https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/kernel-profile-interactive-governor-t3550620/amp/

decided to give the latest s.i.x rom a whirl and I'm loving it.

feels alot like purenexus.

needs the latest vendor to be flashed, i flashed the latest flash kernel along with it, fantastic performance so far.
[Nexus 6P General] Mikey:
I agree
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
Have you tried carbon? I tried it a week or so ago and love it so far.
[Nexus 6P General] Mikey:
I was torn between 6 and carbon....I can't decide lol

What's your setup?

I'm on 6 with electron kernel with balance setting in spectrum
[Nexus 6P General] phantom146:
There's big difference between wingoku and gc that you have to figure out for yourself. But if you look at the parameters carefully you will notice right away that wingoku is focused on battery life.. Meaning battery>smoothness.. Gc on the other hand provides smoother overall experience such as battery=smoothness which what most people prefer.

To people whom are flashaholics, I have been one before especially on my HH days but there will always be that rom that sticks above the rest, for me that was Krexus, and though the last update was on March, I am still visiting the g+ everyday just to check george and the development out.

If people are looking for minimial pure aosp experience:

*krexus

*saosp

*DU

If people are looking for what google has relied for on getting new commits (google as it improves gets commits from other roms which makes that rom high-end in google's eyes and thus in my own perception):

*LineageOS (recommend flash's)

*AOSPA

If you care about bloating your phone with tons of features that you will most likely never use:

*RR

There is nothing wrong being a flashahokic because as a tinker, you have to experience everything in life but one day you have to marry something and stick on it.

I'm using carbon with Electron and spectrum balanced and glasscannon. Going very well so far. If you haven't tried it I'd recommend it as you can always backup and restore.:)

Okay thanks for explaining that. I'm not very knowledgeable on these parameters but so far I am enjoying your profile. However, ever since using your profile I do seem to have a higher than normal idle drain unfortunately but nothing I can't live with.:svetius:

---------- Post added at 11:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 PM ----------

Also, wakeblock is built into carbon just like six rom incase you didn't know.
[Nexus 6P General] phantom146:
I never had any unnecessary battery drains unless you have something that's been sipping cpu frequency on your background. Syncs and constant alarms coming from different apps should fire the cpu haywire.
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
Okay thanks. Any info on how I can check that as I don't know how to check what could cause it or how to tell from reading logs. Cheers:svetius:
[Nexus 6P General] Bobbaloo:
YOU have saved me a ton of battery life, thanks again! AFAIK glass cannon emphasizes the big cluster more - I try to avoid that. I use wingoku 2.something, with flash lately. His latest is on the money, it seems. Got interactive on little cluster which is overclocked and chill on the big which is underclocked. I like to have my apps open quickly. THATs what I aim for along with decent battery life. I don't want to trade battery life for waiting 4, 5, 6 or more seconds for an app to open. That's my peeve lol. And yes, I'm thinking of trying Carbon soon too. Maybe this weekend
[Nexus 6P General] phantom146:
Try BetterBatteryStats and look at 3 things every long idle period (1+ hours) kernel wakelock, partial wakelock and alarms. Kernel wakelock is vital if you use any bluetooth wears such as watches or fitness bands. You will find it constantly providing wakelocks which is actually OK because it is designed to keep bluetooth mdi awake every here and there but if its really quite high, then you can check your alarms coming from apps that are linked via bluetooth (mi fit, etc.) and start to disable some receivers and restrict background processes etc. (very advanced). Partial wakelocks are wakelocks that keeps your device awake while screen off, usually caused by apps so check it out. Lastly, alarms should drain no battery whatsoever but some actually fires off partial wakelocks such as some gplay services alarms so learn how to deal with that by disabling some stuffs. Also, too much alarms would still cost your cpu frequency to go up quite often so beware.

I don't use wakeblock or anything that blocks wakelocks. I limit alarms and completely disable wakelocks by disabling some internal receivers and using appops/advanced privacy guard. More efficient, much wow.

Everyone has their own preferences :) but no, glasscannon actually tries its best to limit big cluster unless there are inputs coming from other apps and surfacefling which should result in faster UI experience. As for apps loading you should configure vfs_cache_pressure and try not to drop caches or close them on recents.
[Nexus 6P General] Bobbaloo:
I recently got into the recents. I know, sounds funny! How to configure the vfs_cache thing....? I will look
[Nexus 6P General] phantom146:
You can check the thread I created for that as well as some sysctl and vm fine tuning:

Information-Collection-Kernel

Read through those things (I know they are a lot) but they are really useful. Some articles suggests this, and that and some are conflicting with suggestions but tinker and test. I won't give any values for this as some of this comes with a catch (e.g. faster performance without affecting battery but higher ram intake etc.)

You can configure it by going to your kernel app and under memory or miscellaneous. You need a custom kernel that has those values such as Flash Kernel
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
Okay thanks. I'm not sure if 31% us normal or not but I haven't seen anything else but I haven't tried leaving my phone for a few hours to check yet.

Running flash now w/ex manager. Thanks for this!!!
[Nexus 6P General] Mikey:
You're using Exkm right? To change the profile.
[Nexus 6P General] phantom146:
You dont have any problems with your kernel wakelock.. The top kernel wakelock you have is actually the total overall wakelock collection (kernel + partial) so no worries in there.. What you need to checj then are alarms and partial wakelocks
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
It all said 0% for me

Yes, spectrum balanced and glasscannon governor profile in exkm.
[Nexus 6P General] phantom146:
Yep itll be 0% but do mind the /hr ratio of alarms.. Especially gplay services
[Nexus 6P General] Bobbaloo:
I lowered vfs_cache from 100 to 50. Apps seem to be opening faster! Placebo? Also, looked at your thread, lots of interesting stuff. Thanks!

[Nexus 6P General] leondestiny:
will switch from S.i.X someday soon, the gallery gets stuck for me.

i was out today and it was a hassle to keep getting it freeze on me.

so here's what happened , i go to Gallery and open the picture i needed to, it was some medic shampoo i needed to look for in the pharmacies.

and whenever i turned off the screen after going from pharmacy to the next one , it would freeze on me and i had to clear gallery from recents to have it work again.

to have this issue triggered, you'll only need to open gallery then open a picture and then turn off the screen and wait for a bit then turn it back on to see if it freezes for you.

if it does not, then turn it off again and wait a couple more seconds then turn it back on to see if it freezes.

this happens on S.i.X for me, but could probably also be on some other roms , have yet to try.
[Nexus 6P General] Kindatired:
Been using Lineage for a week now. Tried a lot of ROMs, but this one seems the best for me.

[MENTION=7494055]DEVILOPS 007[/MENTION] hey mate question!

i think it was you that sent me link to the youtube with adblock.

the one where you flash a zip and it works wonderfully, have not seen ads since and i do not get any fc's with its youtube app.

i'd like to ask whether it is possible to have V4Arise take effect on the sound of the youtube app, and also whether it is possible to take effect when playing a video on Chrome.

that'd be so nice, because the volume is kind of low when i watch some anime on Chrome, i have the volume go all the way up and it still does not sound so nice and clear.

i use a specific profile which sounds so damn good on the 6p speakers, i will gladly share it here.

i have named it myself, as i have no idea where i got the profile from, but what i can tell you is that i have always been using this very same profile with every of my phones.

s5/nexus6/now 6p.

loving it.

i have it attached.

unrar it and put it in profile folder = profit.
[Nexus 6P General] Bobbaloo:
Have you tried crDroid? I've been running it for a while. lineageOS based ROM. Stock kernel is fairly decent also.
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
Viper always seems to have problems with processing in apps like YouTube and Spotify etc. I'd recommend trying this mod out. It modifies the libs and stuff and does it so it is universal and shouldn't have issues you get with viper. Also, there are add-ons like with viper such as arkamys, Dolby, and many others. Also, there is an add-on called jamesdsp which is basically very similar to viper but without the issues and all. I was recommended to try it and heard it was the next generation of audio and I have to say that the sound quality imo is better than viper and arise. To fix your issues and get better sound quality, I'd recommend trying this out and uninstalling viper. There's also a version of viper that can be used in the thread somewhere. https://xdaforums.com/android/software/soundmod-ainur-audio-t3450516

Decided to give the new paranoid Android a try, not disappointed at all, very very nice!
[Nexus 6P General] Bobbaloo:
Yeah, I got my eyes on it. Can u tell me please if it has these 3 things? sRGB display, arrows on keyboard, slim recents. Thanks for your patience with my question
[Nexus 6P General] mickyw1980:
It has sRGB within developer options but I'm not sure what it is. And no it has not got keyboard arrows or slim recents, well, I've not found them yet if it has. Everything about it just feels right. Nice and smooth and I know it's too early to say, but I think it will have decent battery life (I've only been using it since today). The only thing is it will encrypt your phone, if you are decrypted. I didn't flash SuperSU or magisk before booting ?
[Nexus 6P General] leondestiny:
don't tell me you use sRGB?

it makes my phone look so pale /greenish white..

Been running the last two builds smoothest rom hands down. Not many features yet will get more when official gets released. Very similar to aospextended in terms of performance
[Nexus 6P General] Bobbaloo:
Not green. Realistic!! It tones down the pumped up Android colors. It's actually a color profile from Adobe

---------- Post added at 10:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 PM ----------

sRGB is a color profile that dampens the Android colors a bit and you should be able to flash su or magisk anytime, I think.
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
Aren't you worried about the development suddenly stopping again meaning you'll need to switch rom?
[Nexus 6P General] bkayy:
Not at all I enjoy the rom while it's available there is something which sets it apart. This time i think they will continue development if not I move on to next best rom at the time
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
I'd say I prefer carbon Rom tbh but haven't tried pa in a while. There are a couple of things that making me hesitate like I doubt it is and smoother than carbon because of all the under the hood optimisations and I'm sure it doesn't come with wakeblock. I've tried building wakeblock for it in the past but never been successful. Have you tried carbon Rom btw?
[Nexus 6P General] phantom146:
The only thing that keeps me from flashing PA are the bugs.. pick up to wake can't be turned off if ambient display is on AND some reboots which the developers have confirmed.
[Nexus 6P General] nontheoretical:
My current daily driver setup is...

ROM:

- AOSPA 7.2.0

Sorry for the odd format, I'm on my phone and can't be bothered.
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
How do you have your lock clean setup and how is pa compared to ROMs such as carbon and others? Like phantom said, the Devs know about random reboot sand there are bugs but is the performance and battery life worth the bugs? I'm thinking about trying it in the future but would like a review from you if possible. Thanks

What rom are you on then?
[Nexus 6P General] phantom146:
Unofficial CM from [MENTION=6842057]The Flash[/MENTION]
[Nexus 6P General] nontheoretical:
I experiment and tweak and modify things on my phone almost every day. I've experienced very few bugs and they've all been my fault, really. That being said, here's a review:

I picked this ROM because I randomly saw it on XDA, remembered loving it in the past, I saw I was officially supported, and I downloaded it after being on some other ROM I'd only tried for a week.

Paranoid Android 7.3.0 installs pretty much like a stock ROM. There is a clear close attention to detail in the system color scheme, animation velocity curve, and font choices in the aesthetics of the ROM. I restored my apps with Titanium Backup, reconfigured my theme in Nova Launcher and settled in.

The PA Gallery and Browser are pretty cool. The gallery is simple and just works. I swapped back to Google photos shortly. The browser is cool. It looks like a reskin of Google Chrome but with WAY more security features built in. I have switched and really enjoy the extra features in place to help me stay safer in browser.

I didn't like the lack of features like power menu customization, built in system screed recording, center/left clock (I prefer left btw), etc. Exploring the extent of the settings menu, past developer options and system UI tuner, I stumbled upon the "immersive mode" tile and was intrigued, as this was distinct from expanded desktop when I had tried it on my Galaxy S III.

Immersive mode is cool, and I really like it. No status bar, and no navigation bar. PIE controls with a swipe up was odd at first but I got the hang of it. Now, I use my phone more deliberately because notifications, time, and battery aren't glaring me in the face. *I also want to point out that with better battery performance you don't need to check it so often* If I want to check these before, my phone is usually in my pocket, so the lockscreen suffices. This is the really reason I love Paranoid Android. This is possible on other ROMs with apps and expanded desktop, BUT it's dang near impossible to get the ease of use you experience with aospa.

If you think that's interesting and this VERY specific way of using your phone appeals to you, try it. If you're like me and you love it, it'll be really hard to switch back to something else. Of you don't like it, or if you don't think this will appeal to you, go grab another ROM with more features and less bugs.
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
Okay, I really do appreciate the in depth review and it does sound very interesting. However, how is it doing in terms of performance and battery life compared to other roms you've tried? I'm not too bothered about features but mostly care about battery and performance and would love to hear your review on that. Do you think you could send some screenshots from the battery option in settings and maybe accubattery? I don't really have time to just keep flashing new roms so when I do flash a new rom I want to be commited and sure I'll stay on it. Thanks.
[Nexus 6P General] bkayy:
I have been running it past few weeks happy with it I find it had excellent battery life especially with nap time main reason I prefer aospa is smoothness and immersive modes great browser
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
What other ROMs have you tried in comparison then? Have you tried carbon as that is my favorite current rom.
[Nexus 6P General] bkayy:
Tried aospextended which I like tried carbon weekly rom there are all great but I prefer aospa its all subjective guess
[Nexus 6P General] leondestiny:
can abit of water cause the speakers to mute ?

my top speaker is now muted, sound only comes from the bottom speaker.

my nephew sprinkled some water on it.

or could it be have been caused by the many modifications i added with deuteronomy V4arise aroma?

edit: got it solved, it was the frikkin ****ty audioFX app that caused this issue, i simply turned it off , will delete it now for good!

now my speakers sound beastly again.

Dirac just causes problems for me. Apparently it doesn't even work on v13. What did you do to get it to work? Also, nice setup.:)
[Nexus 6P General] leondestiny:
nice setup buddy, i would like to know how to get that Ainur sauron mod to work , because when i flashed the zip i got it kept me in a bootloop , and this was after clean wipe and flashing rom then gapps then kernel and after kernel i tried flashing this audio mod that some of you say is even better than V4A which makes me curious, so could you please tell me where to get the correct zip from perhaps, and how are we supposed to be flashing it, and how to flash the dirac addon along with it.

thanks in advance!

(never tried screwd android before i think.. and I'm on RR right now, it's good but so bloaty , i only have like around 600-800 free ram most of the time with all apps cleared from recent.)

with PN etc. i usually always get around 1300 free ram.
[Nexus 6P General] KLit75:
DU weekly updates taking a bit longer than Id like and Im tempted to flash PA. I tried an early release and it ran great + good battery. It was just missing some very minor things that I sort of depend on. Wish I could remember them all but the only one that comes to mind is tapping on status bar to open my clock and calendar. I use it daily. Can anyone confirm this was added?
[Nexus 6P General] seabro01:
I had issues with Dirac when I was using James DSP. Noticed a difference in clarity and soundstage after clean flashing.

---------- Post added at 04:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

I got the latest Ainur zip from post #2 in this thread.

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3450516

The add-ons are in post #4.

I clean flashed ROM, latest beans gapps, kernel and magisk. Then I flashed the Ainur and Dirac zips. Should notice a major difference in clarity, bass, soundstage, etc. without having to tweak anything. I don't even use Viper or Dolby Atmos anymore sine I switched to Ainur. Works with all the music and video apps I've tried.

I usually have 1+ GB free RAM but don't worry about RAM management as long as everything runs smoothly. With Screwd I get all my favorite features like pulse, fling, slim recents, FPS call gesture, status bar brightness contril and volume steps with no performance issues and good battery life.
[Nexus 6P General] leondestiny:
nice man !

i decided to give saosp a go, it is as its name says simple!

it reminds me of PN , Saosp is another great debloated Rom , i flashed kenvatore kernel ontop of it and it's all good for now i love it.

i will try out scewdandroid once my flashaholic blood decides to switch hahaha.

but like seriously for now i have already clean flashed saosp.

please tell me how i can not get into a bootloop by flashing "SAURON MK I.IV.II" <<< this.

as that was the one that kept getting me into bootloops.

but i had only flashed that and not the dirac zips, perhaps that led to the bootloop?
[Nexus 6P General] seabro01:
I was trying to not be a flashaholic for a while. Even stayed on DU for a few months but there are usually a few interesting ROMs that I like to try for at least a few days. Keeping nandroids makes it less tedious.

Never had the bootloop after clean flashing ROM (Screwd, AquariOS, DU), beans gapps, Kernel (Electron, Flash, Franco), latest Magisk and Ainur Sauron with or without Dirac Add-on. It did take longer than usual to boot. Are you sure it was a bootloop?
[Nexus 6P General] leondestiny:
well i waited over 5 minutes and it was still trying to boot.

i will try to flash that mod now and hope it will boot up fine.
[Nexus 6P General] seabro01:
Took about 10 minutes to boot.
[Nexus 6P General] leondestiny:
wow, hm okay.

but now i have a different weird problem, i just now only flashed arters youtube adaway which always usually works for me.

but now i am stuck on the orange triangle "your device software cant be checked for corruption"

this never happened with this youtube adaway zip before :l

*sigh*
[Nexus 6P General] seabro01:
Have you tried to reboot to recovery?
[Nexus 6P General] leondestiny:
yeah that now fixed the problem haha.

will flash the sound mod, curious how it compares to v4a.

flashed the ainur mod plus the dirac addon but i did not notice any difference in sound at all.

am i supposed to see some app installed after installing the mod and addon ?

because i do not see anything even in the apps/system in settings.

and also do we have to delete musicfx for the mod to take effect perhaps?
[Nexus 6P General] seabro01:
You should notice a difference with clearer/ more detailed audio and wider soundstage. Shouldn't need to delete musicFX. Still works with Ainur for me. I noticed a big improvement in YouTube and Spotify. I'm hearing stuff in certain songs I wasn't hearing with v4a. There's no app unless you use James DSP (has issues with Dirac) or compatible version of Viper but I personally don't see the need if using good headphones (maybe to boost BT volume).
[Nexus 6P General] SGE_DEW:
