This Kernel is giving me better performance and battrry life than beastmode. Smoking fast, rock solid, and overall good performer. Currently set to cfq, overclocked to 1.7 and intlidemand and getting consistent results like below. Running Viper XL ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Just went from the stock version to 1.7. So far looking good.:highfive:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
@ iElvis and smolck: glad it's working well for you!

Thanks to those who have been testing ElementalX-v3.0 beta, it seems to be working fine so far. But I haven't had any volunteers with hboot 1.14 yet, so I'm making the beta available here: http://goo.gl/WIuaR

I think the kernel itself is solid, it's mostly the installer I want to test. If you want to try it, download the zip and install in recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Genetic517:
i know in the script it says enabling sweep 2 sleep saves battery. if its enabled, is there any real noticeable difference in battery? is that something that could effect battery life in anyway? or is it just enabling the gesture. it only works when the screen is on, and the buttons are "activated" already, so my thinking is it shouldnt effect battery life at all.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
I haven't measured it, I leave sweep2wake on all the time and have excellent battery life. I'm just assuming that sweep2sleep would be a bit better on battery because the touch panel is completely off when the phone is asleep, whereas with sweep2wake the touchpanel has to be on to sense the sweep.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
When I had sweep2wake enabled the battery life was only slightly worse than the stock kernel. Sweep2wake also works while the screen is off, so the digitizer (touchpad) must constantly poll for activity 24/7. This uses CPU resources and will indeed have some effect on battery life. For me, it's really hard to compare since this kernel is undervolted and underclocked by default, which is something I never did previously. The battery life was good for me either way. Having said that, last week I disabled sweep2wake and I am seeing better battery life than I ever before: 4.5+ hours onscreen time even when connected to LTE 24/7. The phone just won't die.. :victory:

The main reason I disabled sweep2wake is not because of battery life, but because I feel it has flaws (not with flar2's work, but the s2w code itself). There are vibrations during phonecalls due to accidentally pressing the buttons with your cheek; and more importantly, I experience "random reboots" when it was enabled even if I'm not touching the phone (both in Beastmode and ElementalX do this). Last week I disabled s2w and I haven't had a single stability issue since. :victory:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Genetic517:
i was talking about sweep 2 sleep :silly: . but i was considering enabling sweep 2 wake to try it out, thanks for the info. :good:

Tried the v3. Got camera issues, tried the cam fix from beast thread and still no go.. Works great and fast just the camera issue, when selected it opens cam and has just a dark still picture.. Cant do video or snap images. Close ot again and it force closes untill rebooted... Going back to 2.1 for now... The aroma is sweet...

Flashez 2.1 all ok so it has to be something with ver 3.0..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
In the v3.0beta installer there is an option to install Camera libraries, that will fix it. The cam fix from beastmode definitely won't help, it puts older files on.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gentzleon:
Worked like a charm ....back on ver .3.0...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
I'm working on a bunch of stuff, version 3.0beta2 (link posted on first page) is just a small taste of things to come...stay tuned!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
What are the specs for 3.0? Or can you select the OC/options?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
3.0 has aroma installer with a few options, including oc options. more options to come,I'm still working on it . It should also flash on hboot 1.14.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gentzleon:
Beta working great so far... Great work... If you need testers for anything let me know....
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Very nice! Installed without a hitch and looking good.

Edit: Thought I was getting some camera issues, as Camera ZOOM FX crashed when I tried to run it, but after I opened the stock camera, which worked, CameraZOOM was fine. Go figure.

Hi, I'm using 2.1 with 1.7GHz on Cleanrom 5.1 for OTG mainly, so far so good. One concern though, everytime i watch a video file from a usb drive, no sound is present. How do I fix this?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] felang:
1.14 hboot flashed 3.0 beta 2 and get reboots when receiving calls with S2W enabled. Flashed again with S2W disabled and everything else seems fine, no more random reboots.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
It shouldn't make a difference whether the movie file is on usb or sdcard. It's probably something to do with your video player or the movie file itself.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
Which boot img am i supposed to fastboot...there are 6 in the zip?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
For the beta, you can just flash the zip and everything's taken care of
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
ElementalX-v3.0 is now released. It's the same as the last beta (ElementalX-v3.0beta2), so if you downloaded the beta, you don't need to reinstall. The biggest change is the aroma installer. You can now install the zip on any hboot and select options.

v3.1 is coming soon and it will have some great new features.

v3.0 Changes:

-Rebased to 2.41

-optimized boot

-thermald fix

-revert dimmed capacitive buttons

-GPU overclock option extended to all versions

-add camera libraries to installer

-xz compression

-AROMA installer

-more zram tweaks

-memory tweaks

-re-enable fsync

-default voltage option in init script
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Red5:
Pardon my asking, but I thought the general consensus was that the 2.34 build did away with the LTE bug, but 2.40/2.41 had it still?

Nice update though, looks like you added some nice features!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
Oh, I didn't know that. If this is true, v3.1 will go back to 2.34. But I thought that was pre 2.33?

I hope to get v3.1 out fairly soon, but there are some big changes.

Links for v2.21 are still available on the main page.

EDIT: I just diffed the 2.34 and 2.41 source code and I don't see that anything related to LTE was changed. So it should be fine. I have LTE in my area so I'll keep an eye on it just in case.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Red5:
Okay cool. I didn't know either that's why I was asking. Thanks for looking at both codes and comparing them. Both version 3.0 and 3.1 sound good! :thumbup:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] badvcr:
it's anybody having camera problems ? i flashed the kernel first without installing the camera libraries and the camera wont even open... then i flashed again WITH the camera files , and this time the camera opens but doesn't work the screen is black:confused:

my ROM is stock
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pauley:
Props to you flar2 for another great kernel! Everything's working ok for me on Venom's ViperXL 2.3.1 & I have hboot 1.14. I enabled s2w & flashed your camera files via Aroma installer. Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
You know which RUU?

Maybe install an updated camera such as: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1867966

If you do, be sure to rename or delete /system/app/camera.odex and reboot.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cbasse:
Could be the stupid question of the day, but if I don't plan on overclocking/undervolting, what are the benefits of this kernel over the stock Viper kernel? Will I notice any performance enhancements, better battery life, or other perks?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] badvcr:
Thank you for the response... The RUU

Was 1.85xxxx something like that, sorry I decided to flash venomxl with this kernel and everything was perfect, until I tried to play audio over bluetooth I get this really bad static popping, with any app playing audio, only over bluetooth? Went back to stock venomxl kernel and everything is fine... Ps it happens with beastmode also get the static popping
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 954wrecker:
I've never had any static or popping with bluetooth speaker or headphones on any of the elementalx kernel versions with any of the viper rom versions
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
If you install this without touching any settings you will get better performance and battery, plus features such as sweep2wake and USB OTG, which allows you to connect usb sticks, mouse, keyboard, gamepads, etc. And of course you will have more options around scheduler, governor, cpu frequencies, voltages and memory (zram).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
Have you (or anyone else) tried bluetooth audio on v3.0? I think some bluetooth related stuff changed in the kernel source from 2.34 to 2.41. I don't have any bluetooth accessories to test though.

Because I did it twice after a factory reset and still got the static, and tried a different headset just to make sure... I love how fast this kernel felt but I listen through bluetooth all day :confused:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jrior001:
I have popping and skipping in Bluetooth audio also, using Motorola stereo headphones streaming Pandora or listening to local music as well.

A fine job with this kernel. I flashed it this morning and have had zero problems and no drop in battery life.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
For the bluetooth sound problem, try increasing the lowest cpu frequency from 192 to 384 and up the voltage for that frequency from 800 to 850. Let us know if that helps or not.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] badvcr:
Ok... The just finished flashing the kernel again on venomxl, and I increased min freq. To 384 and up the voltage to 850 rebooted, checked made sure stuck and... NO :(, the popping is still there when I play any audio over bluetooth.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
Both ViperXL and ElementalX v3.0 use the same base kernel 2.41.166.1

Do you have sweep2wake enabled?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] badvcr:
Yes, if I want to disable it so I need to run the aroma installer? Or should I just do it on the Rom section?

---------- Post added at 03:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 PM ----------

Ok, disabled sweep2wake in Rom... NO change I am going to reflash the kernel and leave it disabled.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
You don't need to reflash to disable sweep2wake, doing it through venom tweaks accomplishes the same thing. I'm not sure what's causing the crackling sound.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Sailor Jerry:
I've tried flashing this twice with sleep to wake disabled,

I also had the phone do some kind of hot reboot immediately following a phone call after flashing.

Edit: I should probably mention I'm on rooted 2.20 and 1.14 hboot.

I cannot get 3.0 to work, fast boot flash 2.1 works perfectly but 3.0 installation finishes, clear cache/dalvik and reboot then boot loop!

Camera Problems

If you're having problems with the camera, make sure you say yes to "Install camera libraries" in the installer.

Having some Camera problems, didn't get the install camera libraries option or any option as a matter of fact.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
For those who have camera problems:

If you're not sure, say yes to "install camera libraries" in the installer.

I was going to make it automatically install the camera files, but I don't like overwriting stuff in people's ROMs

I just installed this kernel, was just wondering whether my voltages are correct...

On BM, at 192 mhz, my phone on 4.4 could only handle 900mV... When I checked the voltages after installing this, 192mhz is running at 800mV.

Does this seem right? So far it is stable no problems at all, but if I did that on BM it would reboot for sure...

Update: It was too low... put it back to 887mV

What, you mean the governor keeps changing back to userspace? There must be something installed on your phone that's trying to change it.

Perhaps try No Frills with the setting "Prevent changes from other apps"

anyone experiencing lockscreen freezes with this rom with s2w? I'm currently on beastmode kernel and if there isn't the issue on this kernel I'll switch right away.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pauley:
Switch! This kernel is awesome. Be sure to choose yes to flash the camera libraries though, as it defaults to no. I've been running 3.0 since it was released & haven't seen a reboot or any other issue. I choose 1.7 speed, no GPU overclock, s2w enabled, & yes to flash the camera files. It took several minutes for mine with hboot 1.14 to flash, but worked great. I'm using the stock sense productivity lockscreen & have no issues.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] style2burn:
I'd love to but I'm trying to figure out of its an s2w issue in general with the freezing, as there have been a couple people with the issue in the beastmode thread, or if its a strictly beastmode issue and s2w itself isn't an issue. if its a beastmode issue then I'll switch for sure.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pauley:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kshwetabh:
Yes. My screen is usually unresponsive unless I restart after deep sleep (happens every morning). I have experienced unresponsiveness a few times even after unlocking the screen, but it's sporadic.

This deep sleep is really killing me. Running ClearRom with s2w on, intelliDemand governor, 1.7 OC, flashed camera libs. I always wipe caches after flashing. Not sure what i am doing wrong :(

The deep sleep issue can be noticed in the battery stats below. Thinking to revert back to stock CR Rom kernel if this issue persists.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] style2burn:
thats amazing to hear!! i'll def try it then!! and please keep me update if you do get the freezing issue. I'm really trying to figure out if its 1) my phone just can't handle s2w on any kernel or 2) if its just my phone and beastmode kernel + s2w on.

Anyone else getting lockscreen freezing issues with s2w?

Should I still not use kernel tuner, and if so what app should I use for voltage control with this kernel?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Genetic517:
Flar, would it be possible to add voltage options in aroma?

I've fixed my issues btw. I can make calls without it freezing. Only problem now is cpu0 getting stuck at max frequency (was using intellidemand and sio) I'd love to run 3.0 (and 3.1 when it's released)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Read the OP. But for what it's worth, I haven't needed either.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
You can use kernel tuner as long as you don't hit the "CPU Tweaks" button or the "CPU1 on/off" button. These buttons do things that aren't supposed to be done, and CPU1 won't work as intended afterwords. I think it was an attempt to fix CPU1 max freq not sticking by forcing it on all the time.

For controlling CPU frequencies I recommend No Frills.

For voltage changes, try System Tuner.

A page or two back someone reported a possible bug with voltage changing.

I will probably add that option to aroma since there are few people whose phones can't handle undervolt. As you know, but others may not, I only undervolt the lowest frequencies, the rest are stock.

How did you fix your call freeze issue?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Rad ryan:
Thanks, I did read the OP but did not see anything about voltage settings in it. The only thing it refers to is setting the frequencies with no-frills CPU, which is what I am currently doing to under clock the kernel, but I also want to undervolt more because my particular phone can handle it. So my question was should I not use kernel tuner to do this because I know earlier there were issues with this kernel and kernel tuner and if it is still that way what other app works well with this kernel that give me the option of voltage control, such as Rom Toolbox Pro?

---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ----------

Thanks a lot , I'll do that.I always wanted to try system tuner but never had a kernel that was compatible. Also I noticed some of the voltage control apps at things that say only support SVS and HAVS ( or something like that ) supported kernels, what does that mean and which one, if either, is this kernel?

---------- Post added at 03:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 PM ----------

Sorry, not system tuner, I was thinking of Systune for root users. I have always wanted to use that but it says for voltage changes it only supports SVS and a HAVS supported kernels. Is it possible to use Systune for Root users on this kernel?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Genetic517:
thatd be great :good: . i did another complete wipe, installed 2.1 and set all voltages to stock. all is well and working. ill give 3.1 a try when its out and see if i still get the frequency problem.
