Kernel Tunning Research: Rethinking how the SD 805 behaves.

First off thanks to the work and research done in this Note 4 Forum thread. ( Very good read)

https://xdaforums.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/guide-note-4-snapdragon-805-fine-tune-t3284153

I'll be interested to see what you guys think. My phone stays smooth, no matter what strain I put on it. Even plugged in using Bluetooth and Google Maps in a hot car couldn't slow the phone down.

I will link this to OP once I get enough feedback. I'm currently running Beltz with Magisk 16.4, CloudFlare DNS module and ElementalX 5.20

Note: for the highspeed_freq you might want to play around with different Frequency based on your need. Mine is currently set at 422

edit: so I just realized that the CPU min shows 1276, this I not the true min cpu that I have set. I have it at 300. The reason it shows this is because of CPU boost which overrides this temporarily.
[Nexus 6  General] rushier.ivan:
I'm at NOS 5.8.18 and elementalX 5.19. Is it okay if I apply these settings?
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Yes. Just be cautious if you're under volting as always.
[Nexus 6  General] rushier.ivan:
Sorry but, where do I find the first screenshot?
[Nexus 6  General] MiroALG:
anyone make exkernel to boot on nitrojenOS
[Nexus 6  General] rushier.ivan:
AOSiP Support Thread in OP was closed. Is there a new one?
[Nexus 6  General] MiroALG:
new screwd update ?✌
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Yes there have been, as stated in my description for AOSiP Camcory can took over as the best maintainer for Shamu. If click the download link under my listing of AOSiP, it will take you to the current builds.
[Nexus 6  General] mingaldrichgan:
I think [MENTION=6134480]rushier.ivan[/MENTION] was asking whether there's a new support thread for AOSiP Shamu, in which case AFAIK the answer is no. (There is a Telegram thread and a Google+ community but neither of those are Shamu-specific.)
[Nexus 6  General] rushier.ivan:
exactly the answer I was looking for. :)

well, that's sad. I hope they open a new thread here in XDA ;)
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
Thanks for this...Will give them a try.
[Nexus 6  General] rushier.ivan:
I'm currently using these settings for a few hours now. Did a speedtest (for fun). I can attest it made my shamu smoother than before. I came from the #2 settings from OP btw.

I'm not on beltz tho. I use latest NitrogenOS+magisk v16+greenify+elementalX 5.19. Will report again for long term usage.

Thanks OP for the research effort :laugh:
[Nexus 6  General] MiroALG:
there is new exkernel update 5.21
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Thanks for the heads up. I flashed it over 5.18. booted without issue. ? Beltz 4.5.18
[Nexus 6  General] MiroALG:
welcom man i will back to beltz rom I think it's most compatible with exkernel ?
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Still getting the reboot when trying to play a video feed in YouTube TV so I'm back to 5.18.
[Nexus 6  General] MiroALG:
iam not using youtube tv so iwill use it
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
[MENTION=3777325]wavedashdoc[/MENTION] Thanks for these! I started with these then saw the ones in the OP, But my CPU frequency doesn't want to go over the 1728. Also mine doesn't even show 2803...only goes to 2649?

EDIT: Installed the new 5.21 kernel and can now go to 2649 but still no option for 2803.

EDIT2: Keeps reverting back to 1958 from 2649?
[Nexus 6  General] Elektroschmock:
[MENTION=3777325]wavedashdoc[/MENTION]

Sorry to say that but the info about DRM in your first post is worth nothing, as "DRM info" is useless.

The only way to be sure is to play DRM protected content.
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Not that I want to argue, but It's not useless. The app "DRM Info" gives the user an easy way of determining, if any, what Widevine DRM level the ROM developer has baked in. Whether the implementation of Widevine is working or not is not the apps fault.

Mine reports L1 so I have 1080p playback for all DRM content. I understand that yes to verify that it actually works is to test it, but DRM info will at least give a user insight and potentially a screenshot to present to the developer for troubleshooting.
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
[MENTION=3777325]wavedashdoc[/MENTION] is there a setting in Ex to unlock overclocking? The highest I see in CPU settings is 2649 and when I select that it just goes back to 1958.
[Nexus 6  General] mingaldrichgan:
I think you have to select that while flashing the "custom" (not "express") version of ElementalX.
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
Is that in the paid version? I don't recall seeing a choice when installing. Thanks for the reply!

EDIT: Ahhh ok the aroma installer zip....The latest I could find was 5.08, Can't find the newer ones anywhere.
[Nexus 6  General] mingaldrichgan:
That does seem to be the only one freely available. Personally, I'm just using the 5.18 build that comes prebundled with AOSiP (5/9 build), as the newer versions don't seem to work on it. But EX Kernel Manager does let you choose between "express" (default/current settings) or "custom" (AROMA installer) when you download an update.
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
Awesome...I'll look for it next time I update. Thanks!
[Nexus 6  General] mingaldrichgan:
What ROM are you on? Be sure to make a backup before flashing an updated kernel, in case it doesn't boot! ?
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
On my tester phone I'm on Beltz and it still has the 5.08 kernel. Doing a backup as we speek...I've learned LOL! My everyday phone has Screw'd and can only be updated with a modded kernel for now so I will have to wait until the Lineage problems are solved.

EDIT: Not looking like it will get past the google screen...I could have sworn I saw a post that 5.21 was booting on Beltz. Oh well back to the old install LOL.
[Nexus 6  General] mingaldrichgan:
According to [MENTION=3777325]wavedashdoc[/MENTION] it works if you (dirty) flash Beltz and GApps right before flashing the updated kernel. There seems to be an issue with YouTube TV though.
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
That's where I saw it! Thanks that seems to have worked!
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Correct.
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
Thanks again for the help guys...I'm able to set 2803 now, but it keeps going back to 1958. But I was able to set and keep all of the other #2 settings from the OP.
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
You might have to disable and re-enable the custom hot plugging a couple of times. If you're running flar2's ElementalX not the prebuilt in version, this shouldn't be a problem.

Be careful overclocking if you haven't before. I'm now underclocked heavily with my newer settings post just a few days ago, still tweaking that little by little should have a newer version to try out by the weekend.
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
Yeah I'm just testing the OC on my tester phone with a cracked screen to see the difference and it is impressive. on the underclocked settings are you talking about the screenshots that you posted? I tried those on my daily phone and they work pretty good.....Is there a way in EXKM to set everything back to default? Looking forward to seeing your new settings!
[Nexus 6  General] MiroALG:
new screwd build with exkernel 5.21 selinux: permissive and everything work fine ?

---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 PM ----------

new lineage os build ?
[Nexus 6  General] vasolini:
Just wondering if anyone else is having an issue when they record video. When I record video and play it back, the audio starts about a minute before the video kicks in. You hear the audio, and it looks like a still picture until about the :53 sec mark, then the video starts moving. It stays out of sync the whole rest of the video. I have tried two or three different ROMs, so I think it may be a hardware/app issue? Has anyone else noticed this with their N6?
[Nexus 6  General] _Sparks:
I've been using AOSiP for a few days now and I gotta say I'm loving this ROM, its packed with features and has great stability! Thanks [MENTION=4450173]camcory[/MENTION] for maintaining this ROM!
[Nexus 6  General] rushier.ivan:
Great. How's the battery life? Do you use smart pixels?
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
No problem here...Video record working fine and I haven't had that happen on any ROM. If you haven't already done so I would look for something on the play store to record and see if it happens with that.
[Nexus 6  General] MiroALG:
hello anybody make exkernel 5.21 booted with aosip 09/05/18 reply to me if you have how to make it work or boot ?
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
When the ROM already has a previous ex version, than modding the boot.img is an option. Swapping the zImage.

That can easy be done with the image-kitchen of 'osm0sis.

The process is: 1. extract boot.img of the ROM. 2. Extract this boot.img with the image-kitchen. 3, Extract the zImage from EX5.21-express. 4. Swap the zImage. 5. Repack the modded boot.img with the image-kitchen.
[Nexus 6  General] MiroALG:
man idont have pc can you do it for me please
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Please take this conversation to PM. Thank you.

You were half a second too early.
[Nexus 6  General] BobAzzon:
Random question about the undervolt settings, I am using the settings as shown in the op. I don't overclock so would I have to adjust the voltages to a different voltage as I don't go all the way to 2880? They are running fine the way they are now but, was just wondering. My battery after 4 years is showing it's age but I just can't give up on this whale.
[Nexus 6  General] runekock:
Don't use the voltages from another person. The optimal voltages are different with each phone. They are measured by Qualcomm when they make the chip, and stored on the phone.

Now, Qualcomm adds a bit for safety, so we can usually undervolt slightly. The way to do it is to take your phone's default values and subtract a little bit, say 25 to 50 mV, from each. And then see if the phone is still stable.

When you don't overclock, just leave those voltages unchanged.
[Nexus 6  General] BobAzzon:
Thank you sir, I will revert back to stock voltages, honestly always heard mixed reviews on undervolting... Just trying to squeeze some extra juice out of this aging battery, as I'm terrified to attempt to change the battery.....(Let's just say I'm very good at breaking things)
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
Is there somewhere in EX to restore default settings? I don't see it anywhere...Also on a new ROM and install of EX the values that are showing before touching a thing, are those default settings? Thanks!
[Nexus 6  General] briandanforth1:
New poster here but longtime XDA user. I accidentally ended up with my data encrypted while trying out new ROMs the other day. I want to get rid of it. If I remember correctly, I went to the library and used their computers to use Wugs. Tried that today but their computers all have their security updated and won't allow for any program installations and such. I do have a very earlier model Chromebook but haven't had any success with it.

My question is that if I do a factory reset and then a format of my data, could I simply use a USB drive to then transfer Beltz 8.1, GApps, Elemental X 5.21, and Magisk back to my now newly formatted Nexus 6? If so, I would just simply flash from that point and should be back to being unencrypted. I really dislike the encryption as I feel that I definitely notice the slowdown.

In other news, I love the Beltz 8.1 ROM. I was hesitant to upgrade past 7.3 because I had previously found some apps and games weren't yet working for Oreo. I went ahead and tried again recently and love the ROM. I also replaced my battery that was dying at 50 and 60%...feels like a new phone outside of the encryption slowdown. It was well worth the $75 I paid for the battery and install :) Thanks to all the folks on here producing ROMs and helping others out. Best community I've seen online :)
[Nexus 6  General] mingaldrichgan:
Settings ➡️ Wipe app data, then reboot.
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
Thanks! Not sure how I overlooked that but I did LOL.
[Nexus 6  General] :
New screwd with rounded UI like Android P is up..
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
[MENTION=3777325]wavedashdoc[/MENTION] are you getting into deep sleep at all? I'm using your UV settings that you posted pics of now until you post the ones you are testing out. Doesn't seem to matter what I do I can't get my phone to enter deep sleep.
[Nexus 6  General] briandanforth1:
I'm really itching to try doing the factory reset + format after which I'll transfer Beltz, EX, GApps, and Magisk from my USB stick and then flash. I'm just a bit scared to do so because if it doesn't work out, I don't have a PC to be able to fix it.
[Nexus 6  General] mingaldrichgan:
Do you have a Mac, or do you not have a computer at all? If it's the latter, one option would be to make a backup in TWRP and upload it to Dropbox/Google Drive/etc. before doing a factory reset. That's a bit of a pain and will take a while due to the size of the backup, but then you can wipe your device with peace of mind.
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Are you using bluetooth a lot? I know that is still an issues for our phone not going to sleep properly. I often have to reboot if it doesn't after using bluetooth.

Elektroschmock is working on a fix for Lineage, hopefully we'll have a fix soon .
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Duplicate.
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
I do as I have an app on my phone that keeps up with data from my fitness tracker. Maybe that's why...Thanks!
[Nexus 6  General] beta1204:
Hi,

I am currently using latest ABC ROM (and I also tried beltz ROM).

Good ROM !! But I've got some untimely reboot (in particular with GPS) and my battery drains quickly.

Would you have another rom to advise me ? AOSiP ? Cypher OS ?

I wanted to test exkernel but I can't find version 5.21 (just v5.08). I don't know if this kernel can solve my problems.

Thanks.
[Nexus 6  General] rushier.ivan:
try the latest nitrogenOS. it already has elemetalx 5.19 when you flash it. but don't update the kernel to 5.20/5.21 or it will bootloop.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Try screwd. Has every feature u can imagine, and amazing battery. With ex kernel 21 installed. No reboots. And new Android p style rounded user interface. Stable and maintained. I get about 6 hours screen time.
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Just a heads up guys, I heard back from Setiawanjimmy, he said that he has been really busy since his last release and believes that will continue for the next few weeks. So we might not see a Beltz May release.
[Nexus 6  General] MiroALG:
yes this is true it's amazing stable rom with good battrey life igot 7 h SOT using smart pixel for about 45 min
[Nexus 6  General] beta1204:
Ok thanks, I'm going to try !
[Nexus 6  General] indians810:
I just wanted to see if I'm the only one having this problem. Is something going on with ElementalX's kernel and Netflix and Youtube TV? I've flashed the latest Nitrogen, AOSIP, and Screwed which all use that kernel. All of them freeze up Netflix and cause full reboots. AOSIP has version 18, Nitrogen has 19, and Screwed has version 21. I flashed all 3 fresh and only installed latest Netflix and they all did it. Then I decided to flash a rom that doesn't use that kernel, latest DU, and latest Netflix works fine. I saw some posts about Youtube TV not working correctly on some version of that kernel but no one said Netflix. Now what's weird is the hard reboot doesn't happen every time. It seems after it's first installed it works ok, then after a regular reboot it is totally random. It will reboot much more often than not. I know I also read that ElementalX pulls commits from LineageOS kernel and they may have something they pushed that is causing it. I was really digging AOISP, but I needed Netflix to work.
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Beltz, with ElementalX 5.18 doesn't cause reboots or any issues. Past 5.18, 5.19-5.21 cause a full reboot for me while using YouTube TV. So I've stuck with 5.18. There was a commit made that is breaking DRM and causing a kernel panic with the newer versions.
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
I'm on the newest screwd, opengapps-stock and NLBeev's Ex5.21-Magisk16.4.zip and I can't verify YouTube TV but I can verify that Netflix is working on mine with no problem.
[Nexus 6  General] Blaiser47:
I was having the Netflix issues on latest AOSIP so switched back to latest belt and no problems. Same reboot problem you described.
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Its the newer kernel. AOSiP may report that its ElementalX 5.18, but camcory merged the commits of 5.19+. You can still run those builds, as long as you use ElementalX 5.18 from EX kernel Manager.

Again, anyone who uses Netflix or YouTube TV should be using 5.18 as 5.19+ have newer commits that cause a kernel panic and cause the reboot.

Edit: for clarity, some are having issues with Netflix. I'm not, but I have the YouTube TV reboot with ElementalX 5.21.
[Nexus 6  General] indians810:
Thanks for the info!! I guess the only problem is that through the EX kernel manager app I only see 5.21 as an option. The main thread only has 5.08 available. How do I get 5.18 through the kernel manager? I don't have it saved anywhere on my phone.
[Nexus 6  General] mingaldrichgan:
Netflix works for me on the latest AOSiP (5/9 build) with the built-in kernel (reported as EX 5.18).
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
Extract the boot.img of a previous version of the ROM and flash in TWRP.
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
I'm on Screwd 5/18, which has ElementalX 5.21 built in and Netflix works with that workaround to rename the file "liboemcrypto.so." from vendor/lib folder to "liboemcrypto.so.back"
[Nexus 6  General] :
how do u like the rounded UI?
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
They are very sweet
[Nexus 6  General] Elektroschmock:
I'm working on something to reduce wakelocks caused by bluetooth. My phone is entering deep sleep despite having a wear device connected.

If you're phone doesn't enter deep sleep there's something wrong with yout ROM or kernel.
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
I have turned Bluetooth off and rebooted and still no deep sleep. I have 3 Nexus 6 phones all with the latest Screwd ROM with Ex 5.21 kernel (Modded by NLBeev)...My other two phones seem to go into deep sleep at least sometimes showing up a little over an hour or so. But my everyday phone won't enter deep sleep at all...always reads 0.

I've also tried with the 5.21 kernel that comes with the ROM...same results.
[Nexus 6  General] :
I wonder if it's your device, see attached photo.

That is with in built ex 5.21

Try not using beevs mod and see if same results..
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
I can try that but not sure if it's that or just some settings that aren't right in Ex...Or some app that's keeping it awake. Are you using any special settings in Ex or just leaving it untouched? Also I set my Max CPU to 1958 and it keeps going back up to 2649...Not sure why that is happening.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Yeah that's it, I wouldn't change anything.screwd is built optimized before I even mess with it and they cut out other things that slow the performance and battery life down. I only use interactive governor and leave everything else default. I get deep sleep and about 5-7 hours sot. In the screenshot I had ElementalX governor on, but I was just experimenting and as u can see still had deep sleep. I also enable fast charging and double tap to wake or sleep. ElementalX governor has worse battery life than interactive.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
Something is keeping the N6 alive.

Maybe WiFi?

Try a build.prop tweak

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=300

I am using:400
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
That's about all I use is interactive and some UV settings + the others you mentioned. Here are the setting I use except that Min. CPU is at 300. https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76498914&postcount=569 and for some reason the Max CPU keep going back to 2649.

I'll try that....I just find and edit the value in build.prop right?
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
Probably it's not in build.prop.

Add the whole line.
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
Roger that I saw that and added the whole thing. How does this affect my wifi just keeps it from scanning for other connections as often?
[Nexus 6  General] pinkfloyd3:
Hmm ur BT on all the time?

Cuz I try ur build and I very like it but deep sleep problem(BT on(smart watch)) make me go back to neo RR :rolleyes:

Sorry for my bad English
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
I tried with BT off all day yesterday and today...still no deep sleep. :confused:
[Nexus 6  General] BigDig:
It's a kernel issue. EX 5.19 works best with proper deep sleep
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
I've had this problem since I started using EX 5.08...I've never been able to get into deep sleep except for at best 20 minutes.
[Nexus 6  General] BigDig:
Check this out. I'm using BT daily
[Nexus 6  General] MiroALG:
i am on aosip 09/05/18 with elementa x 5.21 its working good no rendoom reboot - netflix work fine - deep sleep work
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
[MENTION=4240132]BigDig[/MENTION] Trying this out thanks! How are you getting 3 days on a charge like that???

Hmmm...So that's proof that 5.21 works for deep sleep and that having BT on shouldn't affect it. So it has to be a wakelock problem I'm thinking...LOL, I have no idea about wakelocks. I'll have to see if I can find 5.19 somewhere and try it out to see if I get the same results.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
Yes, the default is 10 (remember).
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
Roger that...Just delete the whole line if I want to go back or best to edit it =10?
[Nexus 6  General] Elektroschmock:
Its 15 and it's an overlay now. Not shure if the prop is even picked up.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
You can edit the value or delete the whole line. But I suggested this because you posted deep sleep issues.
[Nexus 6  General] ajaynsurana:
I was having deep sleep issue too but that was because of modded launcher (Ruthless) I had installed from magisk so not sure if you are using any of those. That was my observation.
[Nexus 6  General] briandanforth1:
Thanks for the feedback. I just now successfully got rid of the encryption. For anyone out there who might be in the same boat or whatever, I will be as clear as can be. I ended up with my data encrypted and did not want that. I already had TWRP installed. I transferred everything over to a USB stick and used the format option under Wipe. By everything, in my case that was Beltz 8.1, pico Gapps, Elemental X 5.18, and Magisk 16. I hooked up the USB via an OTG cable. I've got two of them and both are incredibly touchy. I went to wipe and format data. I then went to install and found the files on the USB stick. While installing, my touchy OTG cable lost connection. I simply did a wipe and proceeded to go thru the install again. Everything is working great thus far. Encryption is gone and my data cleaned up as well :)
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
Gotcha...I'm trying it out to see if there is a difference or not. Thanks bud!

EDIT: No change...Still no deep sleep.

Nothing like that....I use Nova Launcher. The only mods I have are the sound mods and a sound module from magisk...But those aren't installed on this build yet.

EDIT: I have flashed onto my test phone only the 5/18 screwd, gapps, Ex 5.19, magisk 16.0 and minimal root apps and wifi & BT off to try and figure the no deep sleep issue out. Phone is on the charger now and I will let it go for awhile once I pull it off and see what happens. I'll post pics of EXKM and BBS when I check it. Thanks all for trying to help with this issue!
