I don't agree :) let's see

if I would share your opinion i would have added this to my post, since you added that before already and i've seen it :)

i've never changed any other than the config ( now 2 config files ) and all settings i've changed there sticked perfectly well after that.

there is always a possibility that there is a certain kind of setting that needs additional steps but i did not yet come across such settings.

so with the always remaining possibility that there is more to know than our own experience i, as per now do not see

any reason to change my opinion because up till now it was working perfectly well for me the way i posted.

perhaps flar2 reads the post and will correct me or you, depending :) _ and/or perhaps has to add something that would explain the

difference in experience we obviously made concerning this matter. let's see :)

regards ;)

You just need the stock boot.img. My installer makes sure you have the files franco renames.

I only suggest the dirty flash because it's the easiest way for most people to get the boot.img that matches their rom.

On this kernel you should not worry about min and max freqs.

There is no reason to change the minimum frequency. Leaving it at 300MHz is by far the best setting. The min frequency shows up as 1267MHz in apps, but this is not the case. It is actually using 300MHz.

For the max frequency, you should set it in aroma installer.

Again, there is no reason to change the max frequency beyond what you set in the installer. The elementalx governor rarely uses the highest frequency unless you are doing something very graphics intensive, like playing a detailed game.

If you have the kernel it came with, you can just flash elementalx directly.

I haven't checked it out yet, I've been busy with an update on the HTC One this week. I'll have a look this weekend.

Virtually every custom kernel out there uses the undervolting faux developed years ago. I think franco does undervolting differently.

My installer takes care of the system files, it's the boot.img that needs attention. The important thing coming from franco kernel is that you don't flash over his boot.img. My installer uses the existing ramdisk, so you should have the boot.img that came with your rom installed before flashing elementalx.

When the GPU is running full speed, the elementalx governor ramps up very quickly. So yes, everything will be running at highest frequency if you use the performance GPU governor. I wouldn't recommend this unless you have some specific reason to do so.

I've tuned everything assuming you'll be using ondmeand GPU gov and elementalx CPU gov.

Someday I'm going to make a new GPU gov that is a bit more aggressive than ondemand, but I haven't had the time.

/etc/init.d/99elementalx is the script that applies the settings in /etc/elemetnalx.conf

If you want the settings in /etc/elementalx.conf to take effect immediately without rebooting, you have to run /etc/init.d/99elementalx

Otherwise, they will take effect the next time you reboot. /etc/init.d/99elementalx is executed during the boot process.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
perfect answer as usual, thanks

so the way i do it i have to reboot, yeah that's what i said if i remember correctly, "reboot and done" so all is well thanks for

the clarification, always good to learn these little detail to provide better quality help and recommendations.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Thanks , ya I was just messing with it and forgot simple was gone , I can notice the difference between simple and ondemand ( performance junky) and I no simple dose not work right with all the jumping around it dose but i like it ;P . i used 26 since u released it and its been flawless no issues at all great battery great performance no heat ..... But there's something about build 23 that keeps me going back to it . thanks for the kernels/ your time :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] atishey23:
I'm on 0.24 version of elemntalX. I think that it's not working properly in Games. The other day I was playing robocop. It was smooth at first but it hangs or freezes Sometimes. I opened performance monitor side by side and I saw that only 2 cores r active. Y is this happening? Below I'm attaching a screenshot. The screen may show 1958 mhz but I have set it to 300 - 2265 mhz.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Alfonso87:
But the real question is...Why you are on .24 if the latest release for non cm users is the .26?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] atishey23:
Ok... I'll update it... And then report. And attach different screenshot with. 26

For updating I just have to flash it over previous one? Or something special is to be done?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] akarol:
Exactly. Nothing more frustrating then when people ask for assistance on previous versions of software. Update it then we can help out.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
No matter what version, the number of cores online is determined by mpdecision, which is always the same because it's a binary executable that comes with the phone. A lot of games only bring up two cores. Software with multiple threads is harder to code.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
can you explain, just trying to understand ?

hi there,

you are not alone but i was never able to understand why some people who encounter problems with an older version

of a rom, kernel or any piece of software try to find a solution before updating to the latest version. usually newer version

are to make things even better and very often problems simply disappear just by updating.

further just to be on the safe side i recommend to clear app cache and data of the app which misbehaves in the app settings,

that also helps in many cases, albeit it's not always obvious why :)

perhaps you have a good reason to to things this way, then i'm interested to learn your motives, perhaps they are valid for more users.

regards

But the game lags Sometimes with 2 cores active.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Alfonso87:
Yep, but as flar can't do anything if software house don't like to code for multicore xD
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
If the game only has two threads, onlining another core won't help.

Try setting your GPU to performance and see if that helps.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] atishey23:
Ok.. I understand that part

Let Me know one thing, if I install .26 over .24 with express version... Will my current settings will remain?

---------- Post added at 12:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 AM ----------

And with what app can I accomplish this?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
express will keep your current settings. Except max freq, uv level and thermal option (you'll get defaults for these, which are best anyway).

That reminds me, you could be experiencing thermal throttling too. If you are gaming, you probably want the default thermal setting, which throttles more gradually.

To set GPU gov to performance, I think you can use Trickstermod.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] atishey23:
So I shall use version other than express... To use default thermal throttling?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
No, express gives you the default thermal throttling.

bootloop trying after flashing on .28 on CM..what am i doing wrong?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
probably nothing

for the last 4 or 5 months is see only posts about bootloops and color bugs etc in kernel threads in connection with CM.

i'm just asking myself why anyone would still use that c..p in the first place? there are so many good roms

around which miss nothing which if it would xposed cannot do as well or even better.

it's most probably not your fault, it's just that they go their own way at CM, somehow on a head through the wall manner

without caring about their users and as i understood it's for the mammon :)

however to cut this here, this is just my impression and my slightly annoyed opinion, i recommend to go with one of the

as good or better running aosp roms, try cataclysm, you will be jumping from satisfaction, only thing you have to

do, do yourself a favour and try it. of course there are other great roms like omni, slimkat etc. but as per now

not one of them comes with the stability and sophisticated fine tuning of cataclysm.

I admit that this is subject to my personal taste and priorities but i know which many share with me.

enjoy

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] , you totally have to make ondemand GPU gov less agressive, because when i put 320- Performance gov, i've no lag in the ui, but when it's 200- Ondemand , sometimes i can see stutter when openning a app..

so it will be great to make it much easier to ramp up to 320 with ondemand gov .. or make your gboost more efficient ..

i say much easier to ramp up to 320 with ondemand gov because of like that we can still put 450 max(for gaming..) and there'll be no lag ! and battery still good ! if we put performance 320 it's still no lag but in some games 320 is not enough.. And 450 with performance will drain battery much faster ..

Try by yourself, open an app like Tapatalk sometimes it stutter with ondemand, but with performance 320 no stutter at all.. That's why for UI smoothness it will be great to let it ramp to 320 much easier, then for 389 and 450 much harder (only for gaming)

Sorry i try to explain myself, but it's a bit difficult as my english is not good enough :)

I've had no issues with CM so far except newer nightlies break compatibility with most custom kernels..other than that, my experiences with it has been great..Having said that, it's clearly stated here .27 and .28 is for cm users..tried both and was stuck in bootloop..Are there any CM users using this kernel that can maybe tell me what i am doing wrong..?

No

Use the current ramdisk. Undervolting is specific to each individual device.

You can set the min GPU frequncy to 320MHz like this:

echo 4 > /sys/class/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/min_pwrlevel

It will still scale up to 450 but it won't go down to 200. I think this is the behaviour you're looking for.

calculate :)

he said: 1% extra per hour means all together 1% + what ever his consumption usually was, let's assume

0.7% are 1.7% per hour times 10 hours night are 17% which is more or less what everyone gets. at least in my

case it was 18% per night
