✨MysticBlaze347's "Let's Be Friend's Mod"✨ Updated: 02/07/20 [Real Absolute Final]
This is a Mod is a Magisk Module that I have been working on for awhile and do to time and other life related endeavors, this will be my last mod. It has been a interesting ride. But I have to put my energy into other things.
The mod I bring to you is based off of LKT™ so it's universal for phones that it's own v1.8 supports so please refer to that thread for more information, but this NOW allows for most - if not all - other kernel tweakers to be compatible upon user customization choices. Allows for other features to be embedded for more battery life with no performance loss on top of your mod choices. Just be careful like usual.
I personally cannot update much further so please don't expect normal updates. I only modded original code, but I only know how to do so much as I am self teaching.
The Module self decryption after install will decribe more in detail on what it does.
If you do not like or want to use anymore, just reflash and it will uninstall.
I hope you enjoy and that this is beneficial to you as it is to me. ?
New Year with a bang
Universal: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261628131
Adds a few more tweaks. Can't guarantee GPU/CPU info in prop. Have no idea how to fully fix for universal showing. Feel free to try yourself.
V20 Enhanced: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261718754
Change Log for the V20
- Finally fixed GPU info for V20
- added SeLinux State
NEW:
- added some battery improving GPU tweaks {not controls} (still other k.t's compatible)
- added systematic read battery mAh capacity
- added boot timer (about 3 minutes after full boot)
- added low audio flinger tweak for better battery
- added doze enhancement while screen off
- slightly more cleaned up look
- other kernel tweaks may show depending on kernel such as adreno idler, gentle fair sleepers disabling, arch power, and many more.
- all located in LBFM.prop
- New added install method described below
Newest Change
- Removed accidentally re-enabled (NOT enabled anymore) Counteracting CPU/GPU controls. No longer an issue with other K.T's
- Enjoy
Test Results (at least for my cell):
The 7h 24m = 3200 mAh battery
The 10h 44m = 4200 mAh battery
The 1d 3h (27 hours) = 10000 mAh battery
These results are while on a Live wallpaper, lowlighting auto brightness, WiFi, Comfort View, no GPS, no Bluetooth, several Mods running such as - This (LBFM), Device resources monitor, Second screen Status bar, LSpeed for (scheduled boosting, OOM killer, disabled multitasking limiting flag, and forced GPU rendering stuff), AKT (Self-Customized Xana Extreme profile), various build.prop tweaks (Camera, Power, and Rendering related) 3C for notification readings of battery status's, and many others.
These readings are AT MOST SOT (screen-on time). I would have done average, but it's was lil difficult since too many factors can happen. You will just have to do that yourself ?.
INSTALL/UNINSTALL METHOD:
If you flash this over the previous version, it will uninstall that Version. After reboot, then you have to reflash your desired version again for it to correctly install. I know, reboots suck.
OR
You can go to TWRP and double flash this to install in one boot instead of two.
THIS IS AN AT MOST SOT PIC FOR MY CELL - YOURS MAY DIFFER.
Would love to see your results for this mod if you are willing .

So I can run this with AKT?
If so, I'm on one of the battery saving profiles on AKT, will this help save even more battery (perhaps more SOT)?

It is now compatible with AKT and throws in some additional battery saving features...so hopefully anyway. That's the goal.

Thank you. I only asked since you said it was based on LKT and usually LKT and AKT cannot be run together.

Usually, but that's why this is called the "Let's Be Friends Mod" . I got tired of everyone fighting so, I decided to make this. Let's one have full control to do as they wish.

I pretty much removed most of CPU, GPU, and memory control. Not all, but the counteracting parts.
Quick Info
So after testing some more, just found out that this is also compatible with FDE. I know in the modules description it says no other A.I in K.T's, but this still works. If I update module again I will update that part also.
I'm sorry, I don't fully understand what does this mod do.

It takes some mods from other kernel tweakers and mashes into one KT that stiil allows use for other KT's that you decide to use. It is compatible with most of if not all other mods unlike most other KT's.

Development Goals:
- stability
- energy savings due to more efficient algorithms (whether theoretical or not is unimportant)
- strictly no overclocking unless approved by the manufacturer or my source base integrates it (also, even if my source base integrates it, expect no support for it)
- no undervolting as well unless the manufacturer approves it since it's relatively pointless IMHO...
- all improvements should require MINIMAL user interaction (e.g. you don't need to do anything except flash the kernel or at the very least use SetCPU or the like to set fixed options)
- stability
Latest Kernel Here
20130625_10XX:
- updated with fix for more recent 4.1.2 Sense ROMs (should fix camera issue)
*unsure if this becomes incompatible with older 4.1.2 Sense ROMs though
20130602_07XX:
- NTFS support
- compiled using 4.8 linaro compiler
- improved workqueue queueing
- sleeper improvements
- responsiveness patches to the frequency controllers
20130531_09XX:
- fixed earpiece volume during calls
20130528_17XX:
- more optimizations (see GitHub)
20130527_18XX:
- more ARM implementations (see GitHub)
20130527_10XX:
- ARM implementations of kernel algorithms (see GitHub)
20130527_09XX:
- compiler optimization flags
20130526_22XX:
- initial version
- uses Linaro compiler

FAQ or something like that:
1.) Camera doesn't work!
- Try this fix from Golv here. This usually occurs on older ROMs.
*Latest 20130625_10XX version should solve this without flashing older camera libs.

Could you please expound on your statement that undervolting is relatively pointless?
From my experience, undervolting
1. Improves battery life because of lower wattage (Voltage * Amperage = Wattage). Even with a really bad binned CPU, it can still make a difference.
2. Cooler operation. This means longer component life - especially important as this phone is very difficult to repair. Battery is sandwiched so the cooler we can keep the device, the longer the battery will last. (Battery longevity practices could be a topic of it's own)
3. It's Fun! Haha. But seriously. I love to tinker. How low can you go??? It's fun seeing a 25% decrease in voltage and it still run stable
I really like your approach with the rest of your points though. We should have a stable kernel that doesn't have to be tuned or tweaked at all. This however, only suites the majority. The minority may want more. I'm currently in the process of making a kernel with as few restrictions as possible. Except that I will put a ceiling on the maximum voltage (1.25v for the cpu)) because I discourage overvolting beyond spec.
Anyway, thanks for the work. The One is Awesome!

Should have put a qualifier there huh? Anyways, it's pointless from a no tweaking perspective since undervolting may not work for some chips and could cause more trouble (random restarts and the like) than it's worth. It's fun for a tweaker (like when I did something like that for the N1) but not for someone who's the flash and forget type. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks
P.S you missing the ":" on the http link
Really glad to have you here iR. Missed your kernels from my nexus one days with those hybrid AVS kernels.

Camera troubles
If somebody have problems with the camera, use the camera Fix from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41712563
The bug is due to the old source code, released by HTC
If you are using a ROM based in 1.29.xxx.16 like the most of the new custom Roms flash just after the kernel.
Are the old camera libraries, that works with the Custom kernels.

Original thread for Nexus 6P is located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...t/xthermal-mod-fast-charging-cpu-gpu-t3433784
Hi Guys,
I'm back with the Xthermal Mod.
But this time it is for Nexus 5x.
Introduction:
Nexus 5x is one of the best handsets we have now. No doubts about that.
Nexus 5x has also got one of the best Fast Charging.
But why I always get around 800-1100 mA current while charging?
Max to max I get 1400-1500 mA current.
Is this the best fast charging I can get?
Then I opened my thermal engine file and started working on it.
Goal:
Xthermal_Fast_Charge: Here I tried to boost my charging current/speed while keeping rest values to their default.
Xthermal_Performance: Here I tried to boost my charging current/speed + Same basic CPU & GPU tweaks are also applied.
Also tested with roms based on "N" aka Android 7.x.
Downloads:
Links for Marshmallow and for Nougat: See the attachments.
How to apply:
1. Download the zip
2. Reboot to TWRP recovery
3. Flash the zip and reboot.
Wait let it settle a bit...
Now check the difference using Ampere app...

Thank you, I'll try out and give feedback. Are this values modifying the governor? I'm on elemental x with silver fish profile. And can you specify what should we expect from it? More battery? More performance? Sounds promising

Faster charging...
more better cpu and gpu performance in day to day tasks...
This is purely thermal engine based mod which works on tweaking the initial throttling values so that we can delay throttling a bit ...
Charges faster, thanks....
Works like a charm! Thanks for the work man! Much appreciated!
Never saw a mod like this lol, will try thanks

I have flashed all 3 zips and no matter which one is flashed the script always reads inside of TWRP "Back To Stock"?
Cool tweaks, pretty similar to the thermal throttling tweaks detailed in this thread months ago: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/guide-thermal-throttle-tweaking-t3395681
I'm not too wild about the battery temperature tweak here. Li-Ion batteries shouldn't really exceed 45 Celsius when being charged. The problem with these batteries is that the hotter they get, the worse rate they charge at. On top of this, higher temps reduce the battery's overall lifespan. Bottom Line: The temperature threshold for the battery in our phones is there for a reason.
Thanks for posting. I am currently on ElementalX with various over clocking enabled. Will this interfere with that in anyways or cause instability?
this changes whatever changes i may have already done to thermal.conf?

Read the OP
Confirming this definitely works... I'm impressed truthfully. My charging speed was always crap, 300 mah with the 2.5 charger from Google, now it's 1750~ mah
Because I'm not sure, say I have a custom kernel, will this alter or negatively affect anything I already have going on? Or does this just modify only the charging?

Does this tweak work alongside the Thermal Throttling Tweak by Razorless. Lost my charging brick and using an iPad one and the speeds never get to what it used to be, would love to try this out. Thanks
UPDATED FOR MARCH SECURITY PATCH! 08/03/2017
Hey folks!
Today I decided to share my actual setup for everyone to try and report back.
Mind that is still WIP, absolutely far from perfect and it's based on my personal preference, since it's built around the way I use the phone. But it can be easily adopted for many people here since it's pretty flexible.
The main goal of this setup is to provide consistency, both in battery and performance. Also, I mind security a bit, this is why I update the phone often; Because of that I want to flash the least possibile .zip files in recovery after updating to the latest security image (I'm lazy and I like things done nice once, and I never do them twice when it's not needed)
With this setup you should go between 10%/h to 15%/h SOT, consistently. I've seen some of my friends dropping to 9%/h, but no guarantees
Also, added bonus: It DOESN'T trips SafetyNet, so you can use Pay and your beloved Pokemon go!
Also note that english isn't my native language, but I try my best to write as readable that I can. Sorry about that.
This require an unlocked bootloader, but not necessary a rooted phone.
The Setup:
1) First things first: Clean your phone from junk around (I suggest a pretty hard wipe) and since this require to be on the stock system (which IMO works best) flash latest N build.
2) Convert your data and cache to F2FS. It's pretty good, and even if in your opinion it doesn't boost performance THAT much, take in mind that it requires no trimming (which EXT4 does need). Mind not converting /system, this is UNSUPPORTED on stock system. It needs a custom rom.
3) Flash "Flash Kernel" from here. You can literally use any kernel you prefer, but I found this rich enough to use it. Mind it does support F2FS, if you converted to it in step 2.
4) Flash Magisk. This way you have root out-of-the-box and safetynet isn't tripped (for you Pay users!) Also, it plays nice with the mods in the next steps. Don't forget to activate "magisk hide" in the app!
5) Flash this magisk mod (increases media volume steps to 30, in call volume steps to 15)
6) Reboot your phone and set it up.
7) Install Magisk App, WakeBlock, and your kernel manager for the kernel you chose. In this setup, I use EX Kernel Manager.
8) Now, from your favourite root file manager go to /cache and create this directory structure: magisk_mount/system/framework/oat/arm64/ then place in the last folder (arm64) this file. It's from this mod, called WakeBlock. (It basically acts like amplify, but doesn't need xposed NOR root)
9) Reboot the phone.
The setup it's done, you can now tweak it as you prefer or just follow the below steps.
The Kernel tweaking:
1) Open up EX Kernel App and go to CPU, set both governors to Interactive and tick stick on reboot
2) Go to governor options and choose your governor. I use AmanuensisOne v1.0, which gives me around 6-7h sot. Load it, stick it on reboot and back to CPU.
3) Go to CPU Boost options, and disable everything (set everything to 0/disabled) and tick stick on reboot. Then back to CPU.
4) Enable core_control and disable msm_thermal, stick them on reboot.
5) Go to Memory and Disable UKSM stick on reboot.
6) Go to Miscellaneous set I/O Scheduler to FIOPS, stick on reboot, Readahead to 1024 with stick on reboot, disable fsync, also set it to reboot.
Done!
Blocking those nasty wakelocks and save the battery! (aka R.I.P. NlpCollectorWakelock):
It's reccomanded to use the phone for a while before doing this. Wakeblock collects informations on wakelocks only when they fire the first time, so a bit of use it's needed.
1) Open wakeblock app and check if it says "service bound". If it doesn't you may have missed something on the "The setup" part, check point #8.
2) Go to wakelocks and block this wakelocks (the time is expressed in ms in the app - Don't enter spaces, of course.) if you don't have a wakelock, skip it:
- NlpWakeLock -- 600 000ms
- GCoreFlp -- 600 000ms
- RILJ -- 800 000ms
- UrlDispSvcFastWL -- 600 000ms
- CMWakeLock -- 600 000ms
- *net_scheduler* -- 3 600 000ms
- Wakeful StateMachine: GeofencerStateMachine -- 600 000ms
- LocationManagerService -- 600 000ms
- SyncLoopWakeLock -- 600 000ms
- NetworkStats -- 800 000ms
- Icing -- 3 600 000 ms
- ULR_BarometerReading_WakeLock -- 600 000ms
- NfcService:mRoutingWakeLock -- 3 600 000ms
- NlpCollectorWakeLock -- 600 000ms
Take in mind that this wakelocks are blocked without impacting ANY functionality of the phone. You may want to increase the time if don't use geolocation at your own risk
More tweaks (improve smoothness and perceived UI speed):
This is a highly WIP part, setting anything different might break your system or get your phone into bootloop (happend twice to me). I highly suggest to have a backup if you want to fiddle more with these settings. You are advised. If you find something useful, please share.
1) Download HEBF and L Speed. These two apps have many tweaks to improve UX and saves a little bit more juice.
2) Open up L Speed and set it this way:
- Main tweaks: Activate Kernel sleepers optimization, Improve scrolling, Liquid smooth UI
- Battery: Activate Battery improvement
- LNET Optimizer: Activate all the tweaks and set NET Buffers to small (or big, but it wastes more battery)
- Seeder: Set to Enlarger mode
- Settings: apply on boot delay set to 60 sec.
3) Open up HEBF and set it this way:
- Set user type to "Chuck Norris" and proceed.
- Battery: Activate Google play services drain fix (Master) and usage report
4) Go into Settings > Developer options and scale all animations to 0.5x
Done, if you done all of this correctly you should see a dramatic improvement on battery life and performance.
I still reccomend to use Naptime, or better, Greenify to save some extra juice.
Have a good day, and enjoy your phone!
Please comment with your battery stats or suggestions if you wish to improve this topic.

Normally i go for 6-7h pretty consistently, i touched 8h, but it was a day were i kept my screen on pretty much all the time with really quick screen offs.
The average sot may vary, but with my friends we've tested around 6h
As you can see from the screen i've installed accubattery few hours ago, but is already almost accurate in battery reading.
I can provide more accurate averages in a week or two

Using a custom rom has for sure some advantages, but:
- It may (and possibly will) be unstable or certain features bugged out
- Doesn't provide much more than stock rom already does (and if it does, are just secondary things like looks and customization that you can live without)
- No wakeblock for it, which saves a TON of battery (i might compile it, but hell, takes a lot of time)
- You can switch Android versions easily (and mostly without wiping /data)
- Much more support (even the official one)
- The feel and look of a clean android version
- I often don't like crap integrated with other roms based on stock
- Odexed it's faster and saves a little little juice (i don't do app modding, so...)
That's pretty much why.
Take in mind that this is my thought, and doesn't universally qualify as truth.

Okay thanks, I appreciate your opinion. I mainly prefer custom roms not for customisability and features but roms (mainly Chad's uber) is faster and snappier than any rom out there and is on Clang 4.0 unlike any other roms I think. Also custom roms typically have less bloat and all and has more support for themes and stuff. Can you use substratum and what wakelocks do you block? If you do ever look at getting wakeblock on custom roms could you please look into Chad's uber. I contacted him but he hasn't responded. I'd be happy to help and do it myself but I don't know how to unfortunately.

- I often don't like crap integrated with other roms based on stock
- Odexed it's faster and saves a little little juice (i don't do app modding, so...)
That's pretty much why.
Take in mind that this is my thought, and doesn't universally qualify as truth.

I was also wondering, are there any great custom roms that currently work with wakeblock? So odexed custom roms

The average sot may vary, but with my friends we've tested around 6h
As you can see from the screen i've installed accubattery few hours ago, but is already almost accurate in battery reading.
I can provide more accurate averages in a week or two

Okay thanks, I appreciate your opinion. I mainly prefer custom roms not for customisability and features but roms (mainly Chad's uber) is faster and snappier than any rom out there and is on Clang 4.0 unlike any other roms I think. Also custom roms typically have less bloat and all and has more support for themes and stuff. Can you use substratum and what wakelocks do you block? If you do ever look at getting wakeblock on custom roms could you please look into Chad's uber. I contacted him but he hasn't responded. I'd be happy to help and do it myself but I don't know how to unfortunately.

Yeah, I understand custom rom may be compiled with different toolchains to be faster, but the speed gain is between negligible and placebo, to me. The stock with these settings is buttery smooth and fast. Also, to have a faster look, go to developer settings and set all the animations to 0.5x. I know it doesn't affect performance, but the percieved smoothness is increased.
I tried many custom roms. It's mostly a fight than a good experience for me, so I gave up on it (I used to have cyanogemod on all my phones, for years and I was a big fan of it)
For WakeBlock, I don't plan to compile it for other roms, I'm just currently working on a LineageOS version, but that's it. It's up to your rom dev to integrate it.
BTW Yes, I can use substratum themes, but only in legacy mode. Keep in mind that this will OFC trigger SafetyNet. (like all substratum themes)

96%, right now.
Solid guide, similar to what i'm already doing but i use Uber as my ROM. Flash kernel is great, although for some reason i universally have a problem on my 6P where my android system usage is as high if not higher than my screen usage? Has anyone else had this issue regardless of their ROM etc? Tried multiples of combos, including stock/dark rom/Stock+ w/ different kernels. Any help would be appreciated!! Good guide none the less!

I had a similar problem and I found out that it was my WiFi signal too low.
I used "Battery Historian" to see that.
iI's a gui that helps you find what is draining your battery giving you a graph and very detailed stats.
You can also see the wakelocks that wake your device and how much you doze in screen off.
It's located in bathist.ef.lc and it needs a bugreport from your device(to get it you need to run "bugreport > /sdcard/bugreport.txt or you can use the dedicated function into "Developer options")

It could be even ART JIT, since in 7.x apps aren't optimized at installation time, but at runtime. It may take a week to have everything ok.
Anyway thanks, the only difference I made here is the fact that I'm using wakeblock, a mod that I co-developed in the absence of xposed (and amplify)

Would you recommend using ForceDoze in place of Greenify/L Speed/NapTime?
I know ForceDoze works better with 6.0 since with stock Doze, it only works when the device is at a still position for at least 30 mins and ForceDoze has the ability to alleviate that, letting the device set into Doze mode regardless how much the device moves around, but with 7.0/7.1+, its like an improved Doze v2. So...

I personally use greenify and l speed for some additional tweaks.
Take in mind that you can use whatever you feel it's right, depending on your needs (greenify for example is selective, while the others aren't)
Anyway all of these will provide only a little bit of reduction of screen off drain, so the difference (for me, at least) it's pretty negligible.
The real deal in screen off performance is limiting the wakelocks, this way you can doze a lot more.
Introduction
Hello everyone! Some of you might recognize me from the Xthermal Fast Charge thread, where I had earlier created and posted unified zips for modifying the stock thermal config file on the Nexus 6P, combining the work of two different mods, namely CTTMod and Xthermal Fast Charge Mod.
Since I was earlier maintaining my unified zips in the Xthermal Fast Charge Mod thread, I have now decided to create a separate thread for them since there is still interest and I don't want to unnecessarily clutter somebody else's thread. Let's get straight to it then!
Detailed Information
CTTMod - Thread Link
When CTTMod was initially released, it changed certain values in Nexus 6P's stock thermal file to raise the temperatures at which the phone would start to use thermal throttling. This change led to an increased overall performance and the phone could be used for a longer period of time without any crippling of performance due to thermal throttling, at the cost of heat. Therefore, after using this mod, the phone would feel slightly warmer as compared to how it would've felt if this mod had not been used, but with higher sustained performance.
Xthermal Fast Charge Mod - Thread Link
When Xthermal Fast Charge Mod was initially released, it also changed certain values in Nexus 6P's stock thermal file to raise the temperatures which prevented the charging current to exceed a certain value (usually ~1500 mAh to 1700 mAh) even though the stock OEM charger was capable of delivering a current upto 3000 mAh. This change led to an increased average current drawn (~2600 mAh to 2800 mAh), thereby leading to a decrease in the time taken by the phone to charge, again, at the cost of heat. Thus, a faster fast charge.
Unified Thermal Mod
Since both the base mods target the same stock thermal file, they can't be used together and using one would override the changes done by the other. In other words, one can only use CTTMod or the Xthermal Fast Charge Mod, exclusively. My unified thermal mod provides a workaround for this by taking the best from both of the above mentioned mods and combining their changes into one file, packaged into a Magisk module/TWRP flashable zip, so that one can take the advantage of both, increased performance due to an increase in thermal throttling temperature limits as well as a faster fast charge.

Important Read-Me Points
Installation/Uninstallation
In case you wish to install the modified libraries directly in the system partition and not as a Magisk module, then add "sysover" (without the quotes) to the zip name and flash it via TWRP.
The zip will abort the installation if you try to flash it on any other device except the Nexus 6P and if you aren't running Android Marshmallow, Nougat, Oreo, Pie or Q.
The zip auto-detects your Android version and installs the correct modified thermal configuration file automatically.
To uninstall the mod, just reflash the zip via TWRP and it will undo any changes it did (whether installed as a Magisk module or directly in the system partition).
General
The mod only works with the stock OEM charger. If you're using a third party charger (irrespective of the fact whether it supports Qualcomm QuickCharge or any other fast charge capability) this mod won't work.
The lower your battery percentage is, the faster your phone will charge, i.e. as the battery charge percentage increases, the current drawn by the phone will decrease. This is stock behaviour.
The mod doesn't change the USB charge current. That is controlled by the kernel.
Regarding the thermal driver, it is preferred that you enable msm_thermal and disable core_control for effective results. However, if doing that causes issues for you (for example, cores don't come online automatically after going offline while using msm_thermal), then disable msm_thermal and enable core_control via a kernel tuning app, like EX Kernel Manager.
If possible, avoid playing games/use performance heavy apps while the phone is charging. Doing so won't cause any issues, but it is preferred not to do so while the phone is on charge.
Disclaimers
I am not the original developer of the base mods used, i.e. CTTMod and Xthermal Fast Charge Mod. I merely combined the two since they couldn't be used together. I take no credit for the original work. Please direct all your thanks and/or donations towards @Robshr and @ravinder0003, the original developers of the mods.
You are doing this at your own risk. I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you are unsure of how to go about something.

Haha, come on now, I'm not far from the Philippines (I'm in India) and I gave it a shot. Jokes apart, I know what you mean man. For us, in summers especially, this might not be the best mod to use on a daily basis, more so if the usage is heavy. In winters, however, it's a different story entirely, and I found this mod really helpful.

Also, you might want to consider a battery replacement if you plan on keeping your 6P for some time. I got it done from the Huawei Service Centre in my area, and the original one didn't cost a bomb at all. After the change, my SOT started averaging 4.5-5 hours (up from 2.5-3 hours).

Yeah i've really considerd replacing it and I've heard its quite cheap. Though last april or so I've heard somebody talking about battery replacement on PH and huawei said that they're running out of "stock" with angler. So I guess I better check it out. I might not be buying anyreplacement sooner or later but I have plans next yr to buy the OP6 or Pixel 2.

Yep, like I said before, it's not expensive, so if you manage to get your hands on one, definitely go for a replacement. Hopefully, some are still available and not out of stock. Also, I'm not too keen on Pixels anymore, seeing how comparatively difficult it is for developers to get stuff working on it + they cost a bomb! That's why I went for OnePlus 5. Had Google stuck with the Nexus line-up, I would've never bought anything else to be honest, but well..

Me too! :highfive: Coming to Nokia, they're definitely upping their game, but I'm not sure about the developer backing it will get vis-à-vis OnePlus; the latter has the best developer backing after Google. Android one is relatively new, so let's see where does it go. The new Mi A1 could be start of something great.

If while flashing the kernel, you selected the overclocked frequencies for your cores, then use the overclocked oreo variant of the mod. If you didn't make any changes in the frequency screen/aren't sure if you're overclocked or not, just use the normal oreo variant and you should be good.
I notice higher temperatures as expected.
Actually my N6P reached 44.5C, are we fine?
I am talking about battery temperature
Actually I just answered my question, flashing Oreo stock throttling .zip
Thanks for the mod, no offence.
Have fun, George.

Yes, that is expected, because the mod increases performance at the cost of heat, so temperatures will be slightly higher as compared to stock. It's been mentioned in the OP as well.
Also, no offence taken, at all. Feel free to use/not use the mod, whatever you feel comfortable with. Thanks for stopping by!

You can use a kernel manager app like EXKM or Kernel Adiutor to check that. If the maximum CPU frequencies for the little and big cluster are 1708 MHz and 2054 MHz, respectively, then you're running an overclocked kernel. However, if they are 1555 MHz and 1958 MHz, respectively, then you're running a non-overclocked/stock frequency kernel.
I know asking for ETA isn't allowed but could you do a fast charge only version for Oreo? I really dislike the thermal mod but would love to have the fast charge one

Even with battery option performance is great
On my coustem config I had 0.3% per H, over night and ~1% per H idle draw on the day.
I first installed the magic Modul, but noticed the version is super old. I removed the magic Modul and install just the APK https://github.com/Paget96/LSpeed .
As far as I can see, it doesn't need magic Modul.
The app is easy to use. But it doesn't save your configs, even when use backup and restoring, so after an reboot need to config it again.

So... my 2cents after a few days of usage...
I have the Balance profile enabled, no other tweaks. Same usage between 2 days... one with, one without the app. With the app saved me 5% battery life.
In fairness, not really enough of a savings to make it worth keeping for me... I'll be testing Battery over the next few days and will report back on that.

I don't think so, but all this does it apply "universal" random tweaks that has not been needed on a smartphone since 2012.
Using this one a phone with the latest flagship precessor is completely unnecessary and in worst case scenario, harm your phone.
