What scheduler and governor do most of you use? On my phone, I use ondemand, but that seems to introduce some lag on the N9 (stock marshmallow 6.0.1 ROM).

The battery life is unbelievable with this kernel and stock ROM. According to the EX app, I'm using 0.24% per hour when the screen is off (which includes both doze and non-doze usage) over 48 hours. That's even better than my 6P (I guess due to LTE services being on). Still, that's amazing and far better than I could have hoped.

Excellent job on this kernel.

I'm getting occasional static through headphones when using Google Play Music. I tried raising the min CPU speed, but that didn't help. My 6P with your EX kernel doesn't exhibit this behavior. Any suggestions?

Hello community, would anyone be so kind to please advise of suggested kernel settings when flashing in Aroma for ElementalX? I am presently running MoRoM 2.2 on my Nexus 9 Android 6.0.1 and just went through the Aroma install for the kernel and simply kept everything at default (other than enable USB Fast Charge). Any input and/or suggestions for each Aroma install screen selection would be most appreciative. Thanks again XDA community!

That is my recommendation

What if you build them into the kernel instead of as modules?

Check my nexus 7 git, way back. I vaguely remember having to make a fix for some compiler error when I added WiFi modules.
forgot to mention, that one didn't fix my issue, fixed it with this.
and changing exportfs.c
please add if possible.

I took a look at the link you posted. What exactly does that fix allow? It appears to be charging and or power related which interests me a LOT. Would a fix of that nature allow you to charge the device via OTG while other devices like flash drives are plugged in?

kernel failed to build with native module support enabled without this changes. there was problem with exportfs also, don't remeber where i've got that one, but now it builds and boots.

Logcat + Backlight Dimmer

@flar2
Hello, building elementalx_defconfig, everything works fine, but logcat on device.
While using pure CM13 everything is fine, as soon as I flash elementalx_defconfiged kernel or ElementalX 4.06 - logcat gone from logging apps and no /dev/log/main.
Any way to have it back manually/with your update?

P. S. Please tell is it possible to get Backlight Dimmer function on this device? Too bright to use at night. Thanks!

@flar2 can you add vibration control to the kernel, please?
I think I tried this early on and kept getting crashes when I tried to change the vibration strength. Maybe I'll try again when I have some time.

This must be specific to cyanogenmod? Perhaps permissions or selinux issue?

FireIce kernel has logcat with same setup here, and it definitely being disabled upon flashing EX(even after factory reset), maybe some incompatibility with CM13.
