After using for several days only CM13 of 06/20 with this update in normal use I had no problems except some reboot to make calls. But playing heavy games like Real Racing 3 for a long time, the phone heating up a lot, and restarted. With the stock kernel everything is working great.

Qualcomm just released their new GPU binaries on developer site
https://developer.qualcomm.com/download/adrenosdk/user-mode-driver-binaries-adreno.zip

This release contains a developer preview of the user-mode driver binaries for Qualcomm Adreno 3xx/4xx GPU on Nexus 5, Nexus 6, and Nexus 7 devices running Google Android Marshmallow. It has been tested with Soak Test 4. This release is intended only for developers, and does not meet our customer release quality. Please refer to the included readme file for installation.

Install zip nexus 6 via TWRP will work perfectly in any Marshmallow ROM !!

The openGL ES has been updated to version 3.2!!!

I post this on my kernel Thread please OP read and change the OP, maybe do your on zip the right zip for Maxx and do not share things before know how they work.

Like I post on the quote... I'm not trying to be impolite...

As I said in a previous post, I decided not to use the kernel for now.
The newly released driver, despite the early stage of development, brings me more personal advantages and has been absolutely stable with the stock kernel.
I have no problem to wait for the graphics driver version that will be interesting to consider for the development of this kernel. My intention was to alert about the incompatibility and know the position of the developer.
This is it. Everything is ok.
In the future, this kernel is likely to be compatible with new marshmallow qualcomm adreno gpu drivers?

You profile is new on XDA don't get this wrong, I'm not trying to be impolite...

Have you check the zip before flash it?

That is a Nexus 6 zip you are sharing, we don't have a Nexus 6, Moto doesn't build Maxx ROM like Google.

So resuming, on Maxx (Custom or stock ROM) the firmware folder is not on vendor folder it is at, etc/firmware, if you flash that you have two adreno firmware, and probably the one that is running is the Maxx using Nexus libs so maybe that alone is the problem not my Kernel.

Have you enable open GL 3.2?

Probably not, if that update enable 3.2 how about enable it on the device to see the effect and improves...

How?

Change build.prop line:

ro.opengles.vrersion=196608 or 196609 to

ro.opengles.vrersion=196610

Open GL version:
196608 3.0
196609 3.1
196610 3.2

After the changes and a reboot + long use, then start report any thing related to the kernel if you have prof that the kernel is the problem in a way I can understand and reproduce, I don't really like user with minimum knowledge of what they are doing report bugs like that, this may not be your case you may know what you are doing but it doesn't seems to me, so if you know sorry.

Again I'm not trying to be impolite...

I'm new at XDA but I have years of experience with roms, mods etc. (from my Galaxy Y which was purchased in 2012 to be precise kkk), this ZIP only shared after testing here on my Moto Maxx and I make sure that everything was working until I obtained a gain nk AnTuTu benchmark in the 3D test jumped from 24k to almost 28k, I tested this driver in stock rom 6.0.1 (soak 4) with your kernel that cha BHB. Thank you for the clarification, do not worry, don't hurt me.... Don't go... kkk

I don't think you understand my post as you are still sharing a zip that will flash files on the wrong place, again we have a MAXX not Nexus 6 please read this part that I wrote before:

Do you understand what you are doing when flash that Nexus 6 zip?

I copied the new driver files to the right folder on the MAXX and adjusted access rights.
Anyway, even before doing so, always using the kernel of stock SOAK4, everything worked well. No reboots.
Still now working well, even after the old drivers are overwritten by new ones - without erasing the original wrong folder.
Using smoothly from the beginning.

Fully understood, thank you again for clarification and apologize for having shared this zip, just wanted to make clear that only shared because it caused no problem here in my Maxx, but since it does not work already made sure ;)

For those who are doing tests with this early version of the driver - for desenvoledores only - there is an update in June, the "m" version.
Do not forget to copy the drivers to the right folder on the MAXX and verify the files system permissions.
I have already installed, and everything is normal.
I will use for a few days to evaluate effects.
