[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
OOS+gravity+box+xXx+a fe select apps do the job as well if not better than a full custom rom at the moment, try it out if you like.

as to twrp that's no issue, hence if you would like to elaborate what you mean with "won't create backup"

i have a suspicion as to what that may be but without further input can't tell.

reason why this comes as modul and not full rom is:

a) because it works and is much easier to handle and profits from the "treble" implementation on the OP6

c) GSI rom installation is a bit more demanding than just flash and forget like before and many are afraid, others

. got into trouble and again others don't have the time to troubleshoot again and again, it's still in child's shoes.

tell me about twrp because it works absolutely as always with the only exception that it has to be flashed upon each rom-update or rom-flash

try this:

- open terminal window on device

- type su to get root

- click enter to get root

- type pm remove-user 999

click enter to get rid of user 999 and backups should work without error 255 which i suspect was your issue

if not let us know, everything is manageable and backups are key here IMO
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] audiovicious:
I've seen a few mentions of errors with the parallel apps. Removing the user as you suggested through terminal emulator fixed it. I had seen that fix posted plenty of times before but honestly was never too worried about it and never bothered to fix it. Good to know it's resolved though, thanks, I was able to create a backup without getting an error.

As for the ROM stuff, now that I can backup I might try one. I was curious, because I wanted to tinker some, but I've been so pleased with stock OOS and EX I wasn't in too big a rush, was more a curiosity. Gravity Box requires xposed last I knew, and I like to keep a safety net pass, though I've heard you can pass with it. Again, so satisfied with the experience I have now, no rush to dig into it.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] spartan268:
I know right!!?? I'm so use to flashing and seeing all this Magisk stuff is great. We've came a long way. I'l probably do the same as you and go straight to EX.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] audiovicious:
Stock OOS and EX is a nice, snappy experience with plenty of zip AND battery life. That, I can confirm.

I'll probably start digging into the other options soon just because I like to tinker, but it's definitely not for a lack of speed or use from stock.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
sure, if you have the time, why not but be warned, i didn't see any non-oos based rom that has all the OOS features really working, some have workarounds but that's not the same gestures for example and a lot more of such issues. first few pages always sound great but while reading through one can clearly see that none of them LOS based roms can currently keep up with OOS based stuff including this and other MODS

wish you a lot of fun either way, glad that backups are working now ;)
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] audiovicious:
When I say ROMs I mean the things like no limits and the other "ROM" Magisk modules. I haven't messed with those yet. I've been curious about nolimits though.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
ahhh.... ok, those are MODS, all about terms LOL
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] audiovicious:
Yeah, I know they're not full ROMs, but the title of many of them, including xXX has [ROM] in the title.

Terms aside, is there one you'd recommend or any special functionality only it can provide?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
you're right, i think it should be changed but then to catch attention of users, they're mostly looking for the ROM tag else it would go mostly

unnoticed, not always easy.

a nice eventing and enjoy further
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] spartan268:
Hi Flar,

My only issue here is the users for OP6 seems to be terrible and very demanding/brat like. Asides from that this kernel is amazing and I knew your work wouldn't fail. Thank you!
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] audiovicious:
Welcome to the internet.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
+1

but you know that it's not device or software specific, only that the price tag can have some selective impact at times while i can't see why i should pay double for less (iphone LOL) or double for almost the same usability (SONY LOL)

half kidding

cheers

:highfive:

Xxx nolimits + oos 5.1.9 + elementalX.

I applied changes as reported on #2 post + changed governor in conservative.

No lags. It is still smooth and battery is awesome.

Bad luck. :eek:

I've just flashed and kept everything default. I'm getting wonderful battery backup but while playing pubg i can see few frame drops not regularly. Occasionally it happens. Before playing i put ex-manger's performance mode even though that occasional frame drops occurs. Can someone suggest anything I can adjust in cpu or gpu side.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
is true for both sides

Happening on all kernels I've tried so far not just this. Gaming seems to have some issues
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] senny22:
What was the change with the sound drivers?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] :
Can anyone share a screenshot of their EX kernel manager -> graphics -> advanced color control menu?

Mines messed up and the reset button doesn't work lol

Does this kernel support F2FS if I change my data partition over to that?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] winastotot:
This kernel is awesome
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] joakimbo:
Really good experience with the settings in #2. Just flashed he newest kernel through EXKM. Wondered why my screen on time usage was a bit worse, noticed the settings was reset. Changed back now and all is good. Thanks [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] zSyntex:
Just installed and I notice some frame drop in 3D animation like status bar pull down, multitasking and some games.

Is it normal?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] joakimbo:
The boost settings does not stick after a reboot for me. Happend after flashing latest 1.14. Any ideas?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] spartan268:
Think I found two potential bugs. Nothing serious:

1. Slider for call vibration strength doesn't update the number for %

2. I noticed when going into the color control and then exiting from the app. It will mute the colors. Almost like it's in lightly applied Night Mode. After hitting night mode, and then toggling off night mode, color goes back to normal.

Could be my phone only. Maybe others experienced it too.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] audiovicious:
I noticed one day awhile back my colors looked off. It was during the day and Night Mode had somehow been enabled. Toggling it on/off fixed the issue. I don't recall if I was in the color control screen prior though.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
my percent number change normally and reliably, just letting you know.

no problems with color management either but i don't use night mode, i use a tasker script for this, hence dunno but could be related
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] spartan268:
Again could just be me. I reflashed and reinstalled the manager and it still persists. Just throwing it out there to see if other users had the same issue. The only other variable I can think of is xXx and I'd rather not go through that trouble for something so negligible.

The color control is easy to reproduce. Just head in there and then pop out to your desktop. You'll be able to tell.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
i'm on xXx as well and if i say just letting you know i mean the information is neutrally shared for what it's worth ;)

my setup cotains:

5.1.9 + xXx + EXK +EXKM + Xposed + GravityBox _ none of those is causing the issue, check themes as a first suspect with anything graphic while i consider what shows on screen as graphic. far fetched, i know but worth a try always.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Stoowyguy:
So far this kernel I really like! If anyone can share any kernel settings for battery life I'd greatly appreciate. I'm using 1.7Ghz small quad-core and 1.2ghz big qc. Maximums. Also using sio 2048 read ahead. Tuned boost to second post suggestions. Battery life is decent. Will we ever have interactive governors?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
i post this on about every 10-20 pages, read it and then decide whether it's worth to live with the downsides that are inevitable once battery life is was improved significantly (kernel side only)

http://elementalx.org/the-truth-about-kernels-and-battery-life/

there are definitely much better means to improve battery life which BTW is very good out of the box IMO.

you know i always smile about iphone users who:

- pay a fortune for a thin device (with a small battery accordingly)

- pay another lot for a sub-par display with a great name (buzzword = retina)

- have their displays dimmed to minimum so that the battery will survive half a day and then cannot even exploit the full benefits of their sub-par display for which they paid a fortune.

hope the analogy is understood. while of course it's none of my business, even though i have a dedicated opinion about such things.

EDIT:

perhaps i have to mention that i'd never ever use another computer than a Mac for 30 years now, i can even run windows on it at the same time (2 systems boote parallely)

hence i'm definitely not against apple at all, but the i phone is a scam, you pay double and receive half, made for fanboys who need to belong and to profile themselves via renown brands.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Stoowyguy:
Well yeah I think the biggest thing is using the charger that it came with and keeping the battery's health in shape by not charging past 80% or using battery until less than 20%. Kernel-wise, I'm looking for a kernel that uses the small cores intensively first and then big-core usage. I want PRO tips for things like what clock speed max is set to or any governor tunable changes maybe someone uses cfq while someone else gets great results with simple in out io. I do agree though that 90% of drain comes from screen and apps. With that said, I get amazing battery, but its whenever i look it drops a few percentages and i just imagine there's someone out there with OG settings giving them really really prime battery life. I've tried multiple kernels and they all yield different cpu scaling behaviors. I had a crash earlier today i think it was because of my cpu settings with the low 1.2ghz big core max. it occurred while playing spotify in the car via Bluetooth.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
for your information and perhaps to help you getting rid of another fairy tail:

every Li-Ion battery is software controlled and each device of decent quality does apply a proper (sophisticated) battery management to the device.

part of this built in battery management is not to allow deep discharge and over-charge, in fact if you battery is shown 100% loaded it in fact is NOT fully loaded but exactly at the perfect max-charge for the specific battery.

hence, if you manually try to reproduce this by not charging over 80% you will achieve the exact opposite than to charge to best level.

i can tall you that my batteries of 13 devices during the last 7 years have all lasted twice as long as the average and my devices are 90% of all times on the charger, be it at night, at work or at home.

there was only one exception that did not survive as long as the others and that was a re-furbished nexus 6 and i really dunno in what state the battery was when i purchased it i just thought that the price tag at that time was way too high and waited a while.

all other devices were new and batteries lasted 4-6 years and battery life was 0.5-0.8%/h before i had to install 6 or 7 messengers due to

my friends and business partners use case. nowadays i reach 1%/h average, depending on cell- signal and moving pattern.

so best recommendation is to keep your battery charged and produce as few cycles as possible because:

charging cycles are really counted by software and after a battery has reached the number of planned cycles it will be handled differently, more poorly for the user, hence the number of cycle counts is the only planned and predictable thing that will make your battery behave differently, all other factors depend on use case as well as temperatures and other external factors.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] kneer:
I'm not sure if this is due to this kernel in any way.

I have put my slider to vibrate. Then I use Bluetooth earphones for a while. After that I disconnected Bluetooth. Now the issue comes. Even in vibrate mode, when the call comes, it rings.only way to get off this is to reboot the phone.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
interesting observation indeed.

since i'm not using the slider but tasker to manage all things on all my phones i can't say much but recommend that you bring this up on the onplus forum as well, there you have the biggest chance to find out whether it's stock behaviour or not as well as to get attention to the topic by oneplus in case it's a bug.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] joakimbo:
Excellent battery life with the settings in post #2. Snapchat, Facebook, Instagram and Chrome most of the time.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Depressed T.Bear:
Indeed, it's simply awesome. Charging every 2 - 3 days, getting an average SOT of 6 - 8 hours with normal usage (I don't play any games on my phone)
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Djaentz:
Very impressive. Thx for sharing. Do you recognize any effects from the saving mode / changes in #2? Is the device slower in some situations or anything like that?

Regards
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Depressed T.Bear:
To be honest, I don't feel any effect of the saving mode which comes with EXKM. Besides of the Kernel, most battery is saved by Greenpower and Greenify (and the tweak on post #2).

I never experienced any slow downs, as far as I know, it occurs when gaming. But since I don't play games, I can't really tell.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] joakimbo:
I've been running pure stock since I got the phone in beginning of June. Flashed this kernel and applied the settings in post #2. One more hour of SOT compared to stock and much better standby. Don't know if nolimits xxx has something to do with it aswell.. Anyway I'm really pleased.

About the performance, it's tiny tiny bit slower than stock. I see some microstutters once in a while. Not bothering me though. And I'm a performance guy..
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] senny22:
Where does these microstutters occur? I've yet to notice any on this phone with the same setup as you.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] spartan268:
I don't have them either. The only time I did have them was when the little core minimum CPU was at 300 instead of 576. It popped up whenever I would swipe down the notification center or hit the app drawer. As soon as I bumped it up to 576 it was all gone. Smooth as an ice cube now
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] senny22:
Huh, I actually have my little cores set to 300 MHz minimum without stutters.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] RusherDude:
Because I don't own the phone yet, I'm considering and checking before getting it.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] joakimbo:
Hmm.. I'm a heavy user though. Multitasking Google maps, snapchat, Facebook etc. Got some more lag in snapchat e.g.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] filipebig:
Can anybody give the stock kernel OOS 5.1.9 to revert?

Thanks
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
it's in the stock rom which is downloadable from many sites, incl. oneplus site, the kernel is in "boot.img" which you can flash from TWRP by switching from zip to img installation mode or via fastboot flash boot boot.img

of course the standalone kernel (boot.img) is also availble from many threads here on xda, perhaps get used to use the search feature

and/or to sift through the appropriate device forum by clicking the oneplus 6 link in the top right of this very page, right to the house (home) symbol.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] filipebig:
Thank you,friend for explanation

You Help me a lot

Best regards
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] netgar:
I think this is a newbie question. I really like default display colors. If I won't change anything in ex kernel manager will my color display stay default per my Op6 standard settings?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
that's how it is, leave it as it is and you get what you like and are used to. flar builds his kernels very conservatively based on stock with his goodies (features).
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] netgar:
It is going to be my first time to flash a kernel. I've never done it before so I am a little nervous. Just don't wanna screw up. I think I will flash it through ex kernel manager. That probably would be the easiest way. I already backed up my stock kernel.

I've never done it though twrp. So just forgive me that I am a little concerned :)
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
a bit of respect from new territory can't harm while be assured that you can't do anything wrong, the kernel uses "any kernel" and is injected into the existing boot image, I prefer to flash via TWRP but if you feel more safe to flash via EXKM then try that first while i never did flash this kernel via EXKM while on another or on stock kernel, can't even tell whether it's recommended or not.

flashing via TWRP works always and flawlessly about this i'm sure. just flash root after the kernel not before in case you're not already rooted.

if you're already rooted that would not be necessary at all, some times i do it to be sure that nothing is missing only because if one is flashing so many roms and stuff over years and due to the fact that things change from time to time, sometimes i feel like flashing magisk anyways, even though there is no need when rooted ;) personal stuff, no harm done anayways.

on the other hand you have to make sure that no other kernel tweaking app is trying to apply something contradictory on boot. kernel adjutor, rom toolbox and a few others can do such things.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] senny22:
Well that's probably it then. I tend to stick to 1 app at a time.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] yfrancoi:
Hello thank you for the nice work

regarding low memory killer

I don't really understand how to set it up

I was used to kernel adiutor where there were presets for lmk... Do you have presets for use in the one plus 6 with ex kernel manager?

Or can you give an example of the values to save memory and get the best score on antutu?

Thanks
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] netgar:
Is anyone could tell me how to flash zip kernel using twrp? Just go to twrp and flash it under "install"?

I'm rooted already with Magisk.

Thx
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] HighOnLinux:
Yeah it's like you're flashing any normal file through TWRP. Just find the file in your storage and swipe away
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] netgar:
Thank you my friend.

So if you have zip kernel, all you do is just install, but if you have img kernel you you have to hit install image and flash it in boot partition, right?

Sorry for those newbie questions.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] HighOnLinux:
I actually never seen a img file of a kernel before, unless you might of unzipped the zip file and pulled it from there. But if you have the flashable zip for the kernel, all you do in TWRP is press install, find the zip, press on it, and swipe to install and you'll have the custom kernel installed on your device
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] netgar:
If you backup your kernel in twrp, is it zip or img?

Thank you again
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] magnamentis:
only touch it if you really have an issue with your usecase, it's perfectly balanced as it is by default, no need to set anything up except you have specific need but then name it to get specific help while i assume that's not the case because it very rarely is ;)
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] HighOnLinux:
Since its already boarded on the system i believe it's a .img file at that point.

Is there any way to change speaker gain volume steps in increments of 1db instead of 3db?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] maigre:
EX Kernel Manager, for example, backs up kernels as .img files. In some ways, it doesn't matter in that the app you back it up with will also restore it without the need to do it via TWRP. Recovery is easy enough, but it's not required if you back up with an app. There are different ways to do this that are quite simple. It's a good idea to back up the stock kernel before installing custom ones, though you can generally find the stock one online if you need it. But it's nice to have it right there on your phone from the start, just in case.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] iFalco:
I need a little help; I've flashed elemetalx, I can actually see it in "Kernel version" , but I don't know how to access/interact it. I've already done a factory reset (to see if maybe I did something wrong the first time I've installed twrp, magisk) and reinstalled, in this order: twrp, elementalX (checked if I could interact with it, but still didn't find the way) and then magisk. I think there is something really trivial that because I've just started to learn how to root etc. I don't know what to look for; any help please?
