The same.its not working.cant see icon for fb , textra viber

Etc with both apps...

:(
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jssingh:
You can give led blinker pro a shot, if you'd like. It works like a charm for me. YMMV.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jfim88:
Light Flow works good here
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] scrack26:
Using Light Manager, it's working fine, however you can check if you are using Priority Notification (That is if you are Lollipop), this will not light up if Light Manager is not set as priority.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nmlssit:
How's F2FS on Lollipop? Which kernel can i flash in order to create ramdisk as OP suggests?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jbowwow02:
Maybe code blue.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GeorgeTF:
the problem is that when i install elemental kernel i cant use nothing about lighting apps(light flow , light manager etc)

free version.

everything is working fine with stock apps like mail , hangouts etc.

anyway im looking to buy an app like light flow because i dont want to change elemental kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chubby65:
It's not the kernel mate I'm using light manager with EX and everything works just great
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GeorgeTF:
maybe chubby i dont know.

I purchased btw light flow and now is working again.

thanks for the info mate
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] toxicpaulution:
I keep seeing posts about the ex app but I don't see it on the play store? Maybe my dpi is causing it, anyone have the link? Wasn't in op
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ramjet73:
Follow the instructions here.

ramjet73
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GeorgeTF:
you think that is the best way to use ex app or external apps like trickster , franko etc ????
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ryrynz:
How's this stack up to latest Franco? Anyone compared?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ramjet73:
It's the best tool for ElementalX since it is aware of the /etc/elementalx.conf file which avoids conflicts that the other apps can create if they are used to modify the kernel settings.

ramjet73
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GeorgeTF:
paid app right??
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ramjet73:
Right.

But less than the Franco and faux apps and much nicer IMO. :good:

And you can always re-install the kernel and use Aroma to change settings or just edit the /etc/elementalx.conf file manually if you don't want to purchase the app.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GeorgeTF:
thanks again

Help!

After using ElementalX 2.03 on Nexus 5 Lollipop. My camera stopped working. Prompts, "camera not found." Is there something wrong I did? I just flashed the zipped file via recovery. Other functions of the kernel works just fine.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jaibar:
Well, if the camera is installed, you may try to clear it's cache and/or data, maybe reboot and check again? It has solved me "cannot connect to camera" countless of times on different devices... Worth trying.

And I don't think it is necessarily a kernel problem. You sure not doing additional changes other than flashing the kernel? For example, integrating updated version into system?

Maybe try grabbing logs?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mattbta:
Bought the app last night. Figured it was time to support flar2 after using his kernels over the past year.

Keep up the great work!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] luckana:
the highest antutu score i have ever gotten with my nexus 5 since i've bought it :D using this kernel
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] shevich:
do i need busybox if i install using aroma and do not fiddle with the settings of the kernel?

or for that matter when is it needed?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jayplusone:
Busybox is needed if your ROM doesn't have it. If you purchase the EX app, it will notify you that it is needed. I always download busybox anyway to avoid headaches later. [emoji4]

Tried rebooting, but it's still the same. I'll try to flash the kernel again and try to clear data/cache. I'm running stock 5.0/rooted but no Busybox installed yet. I'm sorry for bothering you guys. Just got my Nexus 5 a week ago. Still in the learning process. :)

I have 41263 with elementalx kernel

I think that is very good score
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] VisionNN:
So if I'm already in elemental and want to change some setting through aroma, do I have to flash stock, then elemental again or can I just reflash elemental?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] failly:
Just reflash elemtalX.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] the new icons are fine and the darker blue ( it is darker right? :D) is fine :)

I tried to install the kernel with application, once the phone has rebooted into recovery , the TWRP gave me an error like "error locating zip file Elementalx 2.03 " and did not installed it.... can i flash the zip again or is it better reflash the stock kernel before?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] notbrodie:
rm
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Edo 91:
:confused:

By the way i tried again to install, and give me the same error...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Why don't you flash it in recovery
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
as he mentioned twrp gives him an error message so he DOES flash it from recovery as far as i understood. point is that he asks whether he should flash stock kernel (the rom without custom kernel ) first and there probably lays the answer which is yes. the reason why nobody answered till now that way is that if he would have read the OP it would have been obvious that coming from another kernel ( which can be assumed according to the posts ) one has to flash the rom without EX first and flash EX over, just replacing one custom kernel ( i.e. francos ) with EX will end often if not always in a bootloop. additionally to that it must be said that the information provided is very sparse here which not many people would take the risk to make a fool of themselves by giving an answer due to false assumptions. we're all no fortune tellers and need appropriate input to be able to help.

Hi guys, I'm experiencing an issue with this kernel when I try to use cast screen feature through chromecast. Something like the connection has ended. Does anyone have problem to use chromecast with this kernel? I'm on kitkat yet.... Thanks
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
No was working fine.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] devilasad:
Guys which Kernel do you think works better with Cataclysm Lollipop for N5 - Franco / Elementalx ?

I'm looking for better battery life, on Franco presently. Any suggestions ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] eddiehk6:
Stop believing that kernel will make a huge difference for a start ;)

It's how you use the device...

Some people will get better with franco, some with elemental, some with another, others will get exactly the same. The replies here will be useless because our usage is different to yours.

Test both with your usage, it's the best way to find out for yourself :good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] shevich:
does elementalx support audio offloading?

it sounds like a dumb question but in a dsp thread over at themes the developer mentioned it supports audio offloading with kernels that support it such as codeblue, shouldnt they all support it, even stock?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
they all support it, even stock.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Update!!

Download:

Changes:

-BFQ i/o scheduler

-remove tracing again

-Makefile adjustments

-update installer
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jbowwow02:
Flashed it just a moment ago. Everything seems to be fine.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] peecs121:

ElementalX-N5-2.04 working fine and smooth as ever on SlimLP alpha 0.6. Will report back with battery and usage statistics. Thank you for all your efforts :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] VisionNN:
How bad is the battery drain with DT2W enabled?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ramjet73:
Not bad at all, but I take the default timeout of 15 minutes, and the option to disable that feature when the power button is used to put the phone to sleep.

Hello guys can I flash Elemental X kernel via the elemental app, without TWRP? So I am on stock recovery.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gee2012:
Or boot into a custom recovery instead of flashing it. In cmd type: fastboot boot namerecovery.img and flash the zip file and keep stock recovery.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Thank You so much! Can You write it step by step? To keep stock recovery, if You have some freetime of course!:)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cyberon:
Still no DT2W here, anyone on Stock + Multirom has it working?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gee2012:
Download TWRP 2.8.1.0 and place it in the android-sdk fastboot folder (platform-tools). Copy the elemental zip to the sd card. Reboot in bootloader mode and in cmd type: fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-hammerhead.img, once in recovery flash the zip file and reboot.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Thank You, and where can I find android-sdk fastboot folder?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gee2012:
You have to download and install the android-sdk platform-tools from here http://dl.google.com/android/installer_r23.0.2-windows.exe and install it. Look on YouTube for a guide for how to set up ADB . Make sure you install it straight to the C drive, so C:/android-sdk.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Thanks I will try it!

Do I need unlock the bootloader and root before the process?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gee2012:
Make sure to add \android-sdk\platform-tools\ in /system/variable/path/ on your pc or adb will not be recognised.

do you have any kind of temperature problems with 2.04 update?

thanks

i think "thermal problems" if you can say problem is when im playing games for example :real racing 3.

its not the same with 2.03.temperature is higher.

anyway its not big deal i think and i want to make a lot of tests for hours.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nitinvaid:
I flashed this kernel a week ago and some how I learned cifs mount manager that it will mount your network drive in your device like In my case I use it mt music drive it was working fine.

Then I reflashed the Mahdi.ROM with it's stock kernel and then cuts manager was not able to mount the network drive.

So is it kernel option or what ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] galakanokis:
It is just the non express version of the kernel, basically download https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95832962473396264 and the installer will pop up while in recovery.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Sedge.One:
Have you considered reading the OP?

Hint: FAQ [emoji6]
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jayplusone:
You see the express version in OP? Download the OTHER one.. Aroma is just a UI that shows up during the flashing process. You are then able to configure the kernel to your liking on installation.

Hi.

What is "DIM BRIGHTENESS" and how do I use it ?

Thank You !
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vickyjusme:
if you use the aroma installer you can select the option while installing. or you can edit the elementalx configuration file. it just fine the brightness more than stock kernel. it's great as the stock kernel brightness is too bright.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] yanleites:
I got the ElementalX app, but what exactly I do with the dim brightness?

What is stock value of read ahead buffer size for FIOPS at 0.17?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bigup7:
using latest cataclysm and 0.17 and think the max SOT im going to get is 4 hours i think

when i used 0.15 with purity rom i got just above 5 hours SOT with my normal usage

both times the batteries have lasted 48 hours before needed charging

im going to try 0.15 with cataclysm next...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] iPsychoGeek:
Agree. For me 0.15 is much better in terms of battery life.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
With elementalx governor?

I made it a bit more aggressive. That's the only change between 0.15 and 0.17 that should affect battery. It would only affect battery during use, idle should be the same on all versions since 0.11.

I'm hoping to release a new version tonight or tomorrow night.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bigup7:
thanks mate, yes i was using elementalx on 0.15 and 0.17, rest options are stock (no swipe to unlock stuff)

will test .15 again to see if i can get same battery usage.

on another note, flar2 can you maybe post in the OP the best way to go back from your kernel to stock kernel? what needs to be done etc - that would be great!

thanks
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
The best way to get back to stock is dirty flashing your ROM. I need to update a bunch of stuff in the OP.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
Been using 0.17 for a few days.. Upgraded directly from 0.15

using all default..

Tried with and without elemental and there is a drop in battery life for me too..

As I had posted earlier I was getting around 1.5 to 2 pcnt drain when being unused.

With the latest version I am unable to get anything below 3.5%.

With elemental governor the lowest I could achieve was 4%

this is over a 6 hour time frame with from full charge.

No other changes, no new app installs..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
If you look at the commits between 0.15 and 0.17, the only things I can see that might affect idle drain are async fsync, the brightness mod and a change to RCU config. I will change the RCU option back next build, but I don't think it will make a difference. The brightness mod should make battery a little better, if anything, since it lowers the brightness slightly at the dim end. kexec_hardboot shouldn't affect it. For drain during use, I made the elementalx gov a little more aggressive, but didn't notice any difference in battery for my use. The governor will have no affect on drain while idle, only during use.

I have had the same 0.5% per hour drain while idle since about version 0.11. That's with dt2w/s2w disabled obviously. And only on the nights where I don't have bad wakelocks from Google's services, which can push it to 1.2-1.4% per hour. I'm using stock 4.4.1 with a default settings (didn't disable Google location settings -- the main source of wakelocks).

Perhaps 4.4.2 update is worse on battery? In any case, the Google services have been making it difficult to gauge battery life on this phone and my HTC One.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Syk69:
I see the same, no extra battery drain from idle as like you said there is no difference that really should affect idle battery drain. Still getting awesome 1% to 2% drain over 9 hours. I believe that syncing to Google services if not connecting right might be the extra battery drain that happens in some nights .
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kmar22:
I haven't had any battery issues. Oc to 2.4xx , ART, all else stock values. Fast and gives me enough juice that I don't have to charge it until the next morning/afternoon . Looking forward to the future. On a side note I didn't realize so many people nit pick battery life so much. I like performance over battery life personally. If I need a charge now a days you have so many ways of charging your device that I'd much rather enjoy using my Nexus than worrying about battery . Either way great work and keep it going.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
I too felt that 4.4.2 may have something to do with the battery drain as well..

Am gonna try again with 0.15 and see if i can replicate the same battery usage
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] netinetinet:
please delete post
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] netinetinet:
For me the battery drain on 015 and 017 same-no diference...Per night (7 - 9 hours) 1 - 2%...I am on PURITY 4.4.2, ElementalX 0.17- default settings, elementalx governor, scheduler Fiops, wifi - off, data - on 2G

Edit: So....it's now running with the correct max CPU, but all CPU adjustment apps (SetCPU, ElementalX, etc) report that the max CPU is 1958, which is odd. Maybe this is just a feedback issue.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] galakanokis:
I have heard others report this on other kernels, only time I had a similar issue was trying to go from Franco to Elemental. A clean flash of the ROM solved all my issues. I have to run unrooted (work finally wised up to my mobile iron work arounds) so I just install the kernel with aroma and let it fly, can't check or adjust anyways...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
probably thermal throttling

My apologies. So I was on xtrasmooth ROM 2.3.3, I already had elementalx 2.0.3 so I just wanted to flash the express version.

I am using the latest TWRP. I simply flashed the express file along with the supersu file for root (not sure if that plays a factor). That is all I did and a bootloop happened.

I tried to reflash 2.0.3 of elemental x, no luck. Flashing stock kernel was no luck either.

Dirty flash your ROM again. That should clear up the boot loop. It's a weird one though. It shouldn't have happened and I'm kinda at a loss why it did. I've flashed updates to this kernel on top of themselves from the beginning and never had that issue.
