[EOL] Unified Thermal Mod (UTM) [UNITY] [ALL ROMS]

[shadowstep]

never owned a op phone, do you recommend them?
im torn between the 5t vs 6.
wondering which does better when it comes to battery life..

and they cost almost the same so.. :l
though the one thing that does separates them is the 845 chip , i heard the 845 is better.

Since the cost is pretty much same, I think it's a no brainer that you should go for OP6. The newer, the better is my thumb rule. You'll also get updates to newer versions of Android for sure, if you go with the newer model, obviously. You won't be disappointed with speed or battery life when it comes to either though, I'm sure of that. Both SD 835 and SD 845 are great chipsets.

sounds good thx, i could though get a s8+ for cheaper than a op6, so yeah.
or even a s9+ for alittle bit more of the op6 price..
but not sure if i should, because i prefer stock android :l

I'll never go with Samsung, even though they're good with their hardware, but the software just makes it a no-go for me. I'll always stick to phones which have a stock/close-to-stock android (just like you) and have/will have a good development community.

Good choice! And that was the case with me too. Even though I would've loved a Pixel, the cost was too high to be justified and hence I went with OnePlus. I just hope Google either brings the Nexus line back in addition to keeping the Pixel line too (I know this isn't happening, but wishful thinking ) or provides a third mid-ranged Pixel (which might happen, but let's see). :fingers-crossed:

Any updates for Android P ?

Any updates for Android P ?

Since Android Pie won't be officially coming to the Nexus 6P, there isn't any updated thermal config file for me to re-base this mod on. However, feel free to use the zips made for Android Oreo on Android Pie ROMs and they should still work. I recommend using the Magisk modules, so that in the rare case of something not working, you can easily uninstall it from Magisk manager.

Hi all - updated the zips in the OP. Changes to the Magisk modules include update to the latest Magisk module template (version 17000) to support the latest Magisk v17.0.

Hi guys!
This night I had some strange situation. Put my 6P on a original charger (8.1 + sigma kernel + UTM, it was the first time I put 6P charging through night with UTM installed) to charge it through the night, and fall asleep. 3 hours later I woke up, took phone, and here is the strange part - 6P was 100% charged, and hot af. What was that? Once I disconnected phone from charger - the phone began to cool down.
P.S. half a year ago I replaced battery.

1. The mod increases the temperature thresholds at which the thermal driver kicks in and starts doing whatever it has to do to get the temperatures down (for example, hotplugging cores, reducing frequencies, etc.). Therefore, the phone might get warmer than usual occasionally.

2. I don't recommend charging the 6P overnight. It already has a bad history when it comes to battery problems, so it's just not worth it.

Well, the thing is, that phone was fully charged, as far as I understand the more perc phone charged -> lower current -> more time to charge it full -> less heat. Phone was hot like it was charging on a lower percentage, screen was on, and some intense stuff was going on, this is what sacred me the most, because at the time a woke up 6P has to be fully charged at least for an hour.
Maybe today I would try to charge it up again the same way, but not at night, just to get some clarification on this situation.

Sure thing! Also, from what you've described, it seems like something is keeping your phone awake and doing something in the background, which is using a lot of CPU and thus leading to heat. Could be a rogue app, could be your ROM, could be a mod, could be anything. This mod doesn't do any kind of processing in the background or during charging that would lead to the phone being hot, especially near the full charge capacity (as you rightly pointed), so its very unlikely that the issue you're facing is because of this mod.

Just use the non-overclocked version then.

@shadowstep This is what I needed omg thank you so much. No heat no lag on my end. Now it charges rapid on aosip rom. Before I was getting charging slowly on the original charger and with this mod I'm getting rapid charging. Charges faster too.

Magisk is on v18 now, will this still work?
