No it`s not normal. I suggest you get an app like kernel toolkit for example and check your CPU settings. The app BetterBaterryStatus will help you to discover the culprit.

You could also reflash the kernel using recovery, in this case you will be able to verify the kennel settings in aroma Installer before installation.

Thank you for your reply! I downloaded BetterBateryStats and the "Awake (Screen Off)" is at 91%. Is there any way I can find out exactly why and solve this, without flashing the device?

EDIT:
I don't have TWRP installed as I used only "UniKernel v8-0002 ODIN FLASHABLE" to flash my phone via Odin. Can this be the reason. And do I have to install TWRP to fix this?

I saw a deep sleep fix in the thread below. Do you think it may work?

I just rooted my S6 edge 925F using Unikernel (Odin) and it worked just fine.

However, I'm experiencing massive battery drainage. When I check the battery usage on the phone, I find that AndroidOS uses most of it, and the wakelock is over 10 hours per full charge, even though my wakelock setting is off in developers option.

Has anyone else experienced the same problem?

Yes.. Having the same battery drain due to Android OS

Is there any kernel out there which works on DOL5 and makes the experience smoother or at least scrolling smoother? Tired of waiting for MM on G920I.

I have tried many times to flash a custom recovery on my 925i. I can not get it to reboot into recovery mode after the initial flashing.
I tried everything I have seen posted but I cant get into recovery fast enough to stop the newly flashed recovery from being overwritten with a stock one when it boots.
Does anyone have any tips or methods I can try?

Did you flash via Odin and did it pass?
I would reboot to recovery even if stock and wipe Dalvik and cache put back into "download" mode and flash again through Odin again

Yep I flashed it with Odin. I just flashed MM and a recovery. I managed to get it working.
I'm must have done something wrong in the past because it worked fine this time

Unikernel for Marshmallow official 6.0.1

pls develop this kernel for official marshmallow 6.0.1. I used it on on my 920I 5.1.1 for an year and loved it.
I have tried spaceX for MM but it is not good enough, games start to show some lag after disabling DVFS also.
This kernel used to be flawless!!!.
I flashed it on 6.0.1 on my 920I, but it gets a bootloop. :(

    ~~~~S6 UniKernel~~~~

    For Galaxy S6 920 F / I / S / K / L / T / W8
    For Galaxy S6 925 F / I / S / K / L / T / W8

    For Lollipop 5.1.1 only!

    UniKernel Features
    - Supports F / I / S / K / L / T / W8 variants of 920 AND 925 devices
    - Supports 920FS, ID and SD Dual SIM devices
    - All edge screen special functions on Edge devices working
    - Built from official Samsung Sources
    - Full init.d scripting support
    - SE Linux set to permissive (will prevent private mode from working)
    - Stock Clocks
    - Fully working Auto-Root for all 5.1.1 roms
    - BusyBox injection if not detected in ROM
    - DriveDroid support
    - CIFS / FUSE

    Kernel Configuration
    The TWRP flashable kernel now comes with an Aroma installer, allowing you to choose a configuration you prefer. It also comes with 3 preset options - Stock, Performance, and Battery.

    The Stock preset will make the kernel behave exactly as a stock kernel - no turbo mode, CFQ scheduler, stock interactive
    If no pre-existing configuration file is found on the phone, (ie - New ROM flash) the ODIN flashable kernel will also have stock behaviour.

    Every Aroma option is clearly labelled with an accurate description of what the setting will change. You are free to reflash to change configurations or manually edit the /system/unikernel.prop file that is generated by the installer (and then reboot). If you choose either the performance or custom options and enable Turbo mode, do not post in this thread about poor battery life. Turbo mode costs battery. deal with it

    As i have said before and will say again, I release based on feedback from my trusted, knowledgeable testers, whose feedback i value much more than the bulk of respondents in my thread who post such wonderfully helpful things like "deepsleep bad rolling back" :rolleyes:

    Have you investigated the issues yourself? Do you even READ THE OP where i post a "stock" replacement kernel? Do you check with apps such as Better Battery Stats which might help you identify the causes of the issue, which in many many cases is an app you have installed? Do you take into account how many notifications you recieve while its sleeping, where you go, what the coverage is like, do you have GPS location still enabled, what WiFi coverage is like, etc etc

    Im sorry but Im developing it how i want and if my testers say its good, its good. I will gladly take on board actually useful feedback but the bulk of the last few pages is just meaningless hearsay, to be frank. If 50% think its better and 50% think its worse, then who is actually right? perhaps its THE SAME :rolleyes:

    I have 6 extremely knowledgeable testers, some of which are well respected devs themselves of various things. They know what to look for, what compromises have to be made and how to actually investigate and feedback on any issues that arise. I trust their feedback 1000% more than what I have read on the last few pages. So im sorry, if you dont like it, use another kernel. simple as.

    Well, after a long, well needed break (from xda, lol) v8 is finally released!

    Please read the OP carefully so you understand how the Aroma installer and the ODIN flashable kernel operate.:good:

    huzzah!

    Hello my friends!

    Sorry for my recent absence, i have beeen extremely busy with work recently, festival season and whatnot. But today i bring you a BETA of v7 - a somewhat radical and unique rethink on how to control a kernel :good:

    Changelog:
    - Some unification updates for LED and Motor (vibrator) differences between flat / edge models
    - AROMA Installer!

    The Aroma installer will allow you to choose your own kernel options during installation :D. It is a totally clean, app free, ROM modification free way of controlling your kernel :good: The ONLY thing that gets changed on your rom is a unique unikernel.prop file in /system which is only read by unikernel, and nothing else.

    During installation you can choose:
    -- Default IO scheduler
    -- Turbo Mode On / Off (stock) (de-lag)
    -- Interactive tweaks On / Off (Stock)
    -- VM / DHA / FHA / Stock-DHA Settings
    -- Inputboost On (Stock) / Off
    -- GApps Wakelock Fix On/ Off (stock)
    -- Audio Patch autodetected for T/W8 models or International models (allows T/W8 users to use International Roms and vice-vera)

    The Aroma installer defaults to all STOCK Kernel options, each option is thoroughly described and you are free to experiment and choose your own options :good: If you want to change configuration simply reflash and choose alternatives in the Aroma installer :good:

    Massive thankyou to Edgarf28 for getting me started on the Aroma installer and to all my testers who have tirelessly been trying this out over the past couple of weeks

    Download here >>>>> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347790555

    Enjoy :D

    EDIT: the aroma installer kernel version/date is wrong, but the build is the latest, just need to change some text in the installer which i totally forgot.. Also should add that if just the boot.img is included with ROMs without an included /system/unikernel.prop file the kernel will default to a completely stock configuration, hence no more need for UniBase
