Hi All,

Some people have previously reported slow downs and reboots etc during beta testing. The best way we can help Flar2 resolve these issues is to ensure we provide appropriate logs. In some cases if your phone is extremely unresponsive it can be difficult to open terminal emulator and run some commands. If you are near a computer when these issues occur you can use adb to gather the appropriate logs. Please refer to the following examples:

In my setup the adb path is c:\adb

Before running the below commands make sure you are in the appropriate directory. In command prompt type cd c:\adb

adb shell top -n 1 > c:\top.txt

adb shell dmesg > c:\dmesg.txt

I have attached the output of these two commands although no issues were experienced during the creation of these logs.

If you experience a non-user initiated reboot please follow the below steps to provide last_kmesg

After reboot issue is encountered boot to recovery

use the file manager to copy /proc/last_kmsg to sdcard/download/

mount usb and copy it to your computer

zip it

post it with details of your issue in this thread.

restore your nandroid and boot into your last stable config

The above is based on information Flar has previously requested when people report issues. As I gain better understanding on methods to help devs improve on future releases I will share these methods with the community. Please don't just assume your issues will be fixed on the next release as sometimes Flar will not be able to replicate your issue.

Edit: Also, make sure you include the selected install options when reporting am issue.

Thanks

Chris

Mine failed too but I went from 5.0.6 back to 5.0.4 cause I was experiencing massive battery drain. And it said failed like the others so it has to be with 5.0.6 that made it say fail. Also I looked and it said 5.0.4 in settings.

I actually did a fullwipe and everything reflashed viper 3.2.3 updated reflashed ota 3.2.3 then updated to 3.2.4 then 3.2.5 and flashed 5.1 and still the same I accidentally forgot to save the log :( but it still said the same thing failed installer 1. My bad the whole reason I did the reflash was to get the log but I'm on my second 32oz so I forgot lmao. But the stock kernel seemed fine

Re: [KERNEL] [Feb21] ElementalX-5.0 | OC | UV | ROW | ZRAM | S2W

Since installing 5.06 beta ultimate (cpu set @ 1.7 on install ) the maximum CPU goes up to 1.7 when I have it set at 1.3. No frills used to always ensure that the maximum CPU stuck at 1.3 but not now. I have tried unchecking and checking 'set on boot' on no frills and the viper cpu settings but the cpu just won't stick at the desired level. Anyone with the same problem?

If installer failed on 5.0.6 then maybe it's the new version of TWRP. I haven't tried it yet, I'll look into it.

Also, none of the betas will cause massive battery drain.

This is due to apps interefering with your setup. Using Ultra vs Vanilla, etc, will not change anything, all my kernels since back on ICS set the frequencies the same way and it works 100%. Whatever sets the maximum frequency last is where it will stay.

*************************************************************

If the installer fails, what version of TWRP are you using?

The good news is, it actually installs everything fine. The failure happens when it tries to wipe the cache, which is at the very end of the installation process.

Flar2, Thanks again for an awesome kernel! I installed 5.1 a couple of hours ago, and it is running quicker and smoother than ever. No install issues whatsoever. I chose Ultra, 1.7 mhz, lowest mins, 850 voltage, GPU oc, all other defaults, no splash. I'm running CR JL, s-off, hboot 1.09, TWRP 2.3.3.1. Life is good!

If you do stay with 2.4.3, wipe cache and Dalvik manually after install. It still installs everything fine, it just doesn't wipe cache.

Re: [KERNEL] [Feb21] ElementalX-5.0 | OC | UV | ROW | ZRAM | S2W

I set my phone down on the charger and went to go get some lunch, came back to find that it had rebooted. I'm on 5.1. Before I flash back to 5.0 here is a link to my last_kmesg http://db.tt/fdkCzJ37. I'm using the same settings I always do, OC to 2.1 GHz but set to 1.5, zram disabled, everything else default. In Venom Tweaks, I have the max screen off set to 192 MHz and I think that may have some conflict with your settings, flar.

Re: [KERNEL] [Feb21] ElementalX-5.0 | OC | UV | ROW | ZRAM | S2W

The max screen off might be your problem. My phone will reboot if I set screen off minimum that low.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
Change your max screen off to 486. Setting screen off to 192 is bad news, that's why it rebooted. 384 is not a good idea either. That's why I offer a minimum of 486 in the installer.

I can pretty much guarantee that any reboots with this kernel are due to votage and frequency settings.

It was just a matter of time. Anything below 486 is likely to randomly reboot at some point, could take weeks to happen, but it will.

Re: [KERNEL] [Feb21] ElementalX-5.0 | OC | UV | ROW | ZRAM | S2W

I have a very sensitive phone that doesn't like non-stock voltages. I have also found that I experience issues with a minimum CPU frequency less than 384. My config is below and I have used that config on the last few releases. I haven't noticed any slow downs with this configuration.

- CPU Max: 1.7ghz

- CPU Min: 384mhz

- GPU OC: None

- S2W: On

- fsync: Off

- Zram: Off

Please note that in most situations there should be no issues with lower min CPU frequency, enabling zram, or fsync. I just seem to have a pansy phone. :p

Has anyone else noticed an occasional delay after pressing the home button? Sometimes it takes a second or two for the system to "catch up" and exit the app.

I don't remember this happening before I installed ElementalX, and I'm wondering if it could be governor-related?

I was just in the Venom forum and posted. Noted that a lot of people are finding Elemental just not working well, me included. Here is what I listed FYI. Not sure if you can do anything.

"Got to say I have the same problem. I have tried every variation of Elemental and it is either stuttery, slow laggy or just uses battery at such a speed as to be useless. I would Luke S2W but not at the cost of usabilty.

I have just tried 5.1 vanilla and it seems to run ok. Stock everything but Tweaks shows that it has set almost all levels at 1150ma which is too high (i think) I have used no frills cpu to check but can't check ma set up and Kernel Tuner just crashes my phone.

Looks like I will stick to the stock Kernel from Turge. At least it works and gives me smooth useability and good batt life."

I don't want to hear another word about lag until somebody shows me logs, a video, or something. I have never had a single lag or slowdown and I've been using viper Rom and this kernel exclusively for the past couple weeks.

HTC Frequency Analysis

I had some time to kill so I decided to analyze CPU frequency with relations to voltage and efficiency. Might help out anyone that is undecided as to which frequency to use. Or someone that wants to maximize battery life. Note, there are various factors that should be included in choosing the best CPU frequency and I've only focused on marginal gains.

I found 1458MHz to be the most efficient general clock speed and 1647MHz as the most efficient overclock speed.

Re: [KERNEL] [Feb21] ElementalX-5.0 | OC | UV | ROW | ZRAM | S2W

I think the "lag" people are having is just the phone getting overloaded and slowing down. Some people don't realize that this WILL HAPPEN IT'S A PHONE NOT A F***ING SUPER COMPUTER. In my experience, Sense tends to do this more than AOSP, although YMMV. That said, I rarely experience any "lag", and when I do, it is because I have too many things running and upon closing them, my phone resumes it's normal smooth state. Been using this kernel since the 0.1 beta. You have done a great job with this kernel, Flar. We all appreciate it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Luisit0:
Well, being fully honest, I have no lag running any JB stock (or stock-ish) Rom. On ViperXL, though, I get a tad tiny little bit when pulling down the statusbar, but I already acknowledged its because of the quick settings, and I got over it cause their useful and matter more than a bit of lag, plus it's only because I use the phone heavily, so most of the ram is in use pretty much always... So, honestly, I got nothing to complaint about with this kernel, its pretty much perfect!! Phone's running great, multi-touch issued I had are gone, quadrant's doing well, all in all my phone is awesome thanks to ViperXL with ElementalX :)

Did you see my post back at number 1879? I posted a couple of log files from the ADB commands that anarcychris provided... I think I did them correctly???

Gennerally this kernel and viper rom have been running perfectly, and I am more than happy with them... But just today it slowed down quite a bit, and all that happened was a few SMS messages came through.

I have updated to 5.1 now, and it seems to be running perfectly again, but I'd be curious to know what you find in the log files. I was wondering if you could identlify an app that might have been causing it, or something else.

I stand corrected! A single person did provide logs, thank you. I didn't see that earlier.

From top, I can see that nothing was eating at your cpu (only a few % cpu usage)

From the dmesg, I see all kinds of stuff from oom, which gives some insight into the problem.

Now, the question is, what is causing this situation? Can you describe your how your system is set up (eg: desensed, a different launcher, zram enabled, etc), what you were doing with your phone and what apps you were running around the time this happened.

Re: [KERNEL] [Feb21] ElementalX-5.0 | OC | UV | ROW | ZRAM | S2W

I can shine some information for you flar. I too have experienced such lag in the ui when I was on venom 2.3.3

Desensed

Oc to 1700mhz

GPU oc

Fsync was on

Zram was on and was running 5.0.4-6

I used the default launcher yet once I started theming things up I started to see slow performance behavior from your kernel. Even when I played games I seen it. Though I moved to hataka ROM and everything is fast and zoom.zoom..ZOOM! If I had to take a guess towards whats causing this slow down then it may be either zram, turges latest tweaks, or just simply because the user just doesn't know how to use task manager and close down apps running in the background.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] raymondn:
It was set up at the time (I think) with ElementalX 5.06 Ultra. No ZRAM, 17xx max, 192 min, default 850 voltage, and running standard viper 3.25 with Sense installed. Let me know what else I need to tell you...

I was doing very little with my phone at the time, as it was in my pocket locked with the screen turned off for about an hour while I was coaching my sons soccer team. I took it out, turned it on and unlocked it, and noticed I had about 4 or 5 SMS messages come through during the game. I was just trying to read them and the phone was almost locked up completely. It even gave me a error saying something like "do you want to wait or stop the messaging app".

I got the phone home about 20-30 minutes after that and connected to the PC to run the log files. By this time the phone was running slightly better again though.

Hope this helps... Any more questions, just let me know. :good:

Unfortunately, after 20 or 30 minutes, dmesg won't have output from the time the slowdown was happening. I can't be sure if a problem with oom is behind this, though I've suspected all along that this has something to do with memory.

A stutter with notification probably has nothing to do with the kernel. There's just no connection between the two.
