About this app

EX Kernel Manager (EXKM) is the ultimate root tool for backup and flashing kernels, tweaking color, sound, gestures and other kernel settings. EXKM gives you total control over your hardware with premium features and a simple and modern user interface.

** Your device must be ROOTED to fully use this app

** This app works with ALL devices and kernels. ElementalX is not required.

** Some advanced features such as wake gestures, color and sound control require a compatible custom kernel

Dashboard: your homepage within the app, Dashboard summarizes your current settings and shows real-time CPU and GPU frequencies, temperatures, memory usage, uptime, deep sleep, battery level and temperature, governors, and i/o settings.

Battery Monitor: the most accurate way to measure battery life. EXKM's Battery Monitor is designed to show battery statistics that you can use to optimize battery life scientifically. EXKM Battery Monitor measures % battery use per hour and gives separate statistics for screen off (idle drain) and screen on (active drain). It automatically measures only when the battery is discharging so you never have to remember to reset the stats or create markers.

Script Manager: easily create, share , edit, execute and test shell scripts (requires SuperSU or Magisk)

Flash and Backup: save and restore kernel and recovery backups, flash any boot.img, recovery zip, Magisk module or AnyKernel zip. Import custom kernel JSON configs

CPU Settings: easily create, share and load CPU governor profiles for maximum battery life. Adjust max frequency, min frequency, CPU governor, CPU boost, hotplugging, thermals and voltage (if supported by kernel/hardware)

Graphics Settings: Max frequency, min frequency, GPU governor and more.

Advanced Color Control: RGB controls, saturation, value, contrast, hue and K-Lapse. Save, load and share custom profiles. (requires kernel support)

Wake Gestures: sweep2wake, doubletap2wake, sweep2sleep, haptic feedback, camera gesture, wake timeout and more (requires kernel support).

Custom User Settings: This feature allows you to add any kernel setting you want. Kernel settings are located in the /proc and /sys directories. Navigate to the desired path and quickly and easily add the setting to the app where it can be changed on the fly or applied at boot. Plus you can easily import/export your custom settings and share with other users.

Memory Settings: adjust zRAM, KSM, lowmemorykiller, and virtual memory settings

Sound Control: adjust speaker, headphone and mic gain. Supports elementalx, fauxsound, franco sound control, and others (requires kernel support).

CPU Times: Show CPU frequency usage and deep sleep, and optionally sort by most used frequencies.

Update or Install ElementalX: Get notified and quickly download and install the ElementalX Kernel on supported devices.

Many other settings: i/o scheduler, readahead kb, fsync, zRAM, KSM, USB fastcharge, TCP congestion algorithm, last kernel log, magnetic cover control, memory settings, entropy settings, Vox Populi and much more!

Ratings and reviews

The premier application for kernel tweaking. Acts as a configurator for any kernel really. Money well spent. Looking forward to any future additions to an already expansive feature list. Donated $63.00. Love the app functionality. Hope every bit helps. I think a good idea for the app would be to list the processes controlling the frenquencies and cores and give an option to kill them. My device is a big.LITTE arch. Would it be possible to put research into to a solution to activate all cores?

I had an issue choosing my backup dir. My most recent Android update disabled my Files app and replaced it with Files by Google. My issues with file picking we're fixed after reverting this. I still feel there should be a default backups dir in the event someone cancels the dialog and chooses nothing. Google has been pulling some weird stuff with file access recently, and things like that would help user pain points. Dev response was excellent, I'll drop a 5 star for that alone.

I loved this app until last update, when the battery notification stopped to collapse. I found the battery icon on the status bar really distracting and had to block EX Kernel Manager's notification to make it go away. But now I can't see my battery stats in the notification drop-down anymore. Please add the collapsible status bar notification back, or at least not to show the battery icon while keeping the battery monitor in notification drop-down.
