I'm having the chrome bug reported recently. I'm on cataclysm 21-mar, latest elementalx (2.11?)

Latest chrome stable
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] SpasilliumNexus:
Unless you use Stickmount, any ROM that supports automounting FAT32 drives definitely does NOT work when this kernel is applied, and hasn't been working for a while. I even posted about it some time ago.

Also, it doesn't make sense at all to flash 2.10 on 5.1.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] freshlysqueezed:
Same here, have to use stickmount on Euphoria/elementalx.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] donwhall70:
I set readahead to 1024 and my Chrome issues have pretty much disappeared. Still not perfect, but then again, when is it? Maybe a small work around until it is fixed by Google.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fedor12:
I actually flashed elementalx straight after updating to 5.1 and that's when i noticed the chrome lag, i figured it might just be a 5.1 bug but reverting to stock kernel fixed it so i went back to elementalx only for the issue to reappear so i went back to stock again, I'm sure you get the picture.

The chrome update hasn't really fixed things on my end, i never noticed any freezing that lasted more than 3 seconds but in a days use it froze up maybe 10 times. I'm not dependent on chrome syncing with pc etc so i just changed browsers and everything is running great now on elementalx.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] parkson:
Same goes for me. Clean flash of latest Cata with stock kernel has fixed the 2-3 second chrome freezes
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ichigo8745:
I'm on euphoria-OS 1.1 with elementalx 2.11 and with this kernel, my phone doesn't go to deep sleep mode
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] HoochieCoo:
Not the kernel. Most likely the Play Services wake lock issue. Search for it. I fixed it by going into Privacy and disabling Wake Up and Keep Awake.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] t3al:
Send me your phone.. I'll fix it for you :)

Try to include more details to your issue. I'm sure someone will help you
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] derboedi:
It's not the kernel's fault, it's an issue caused by Google's Play Services.

1st method: Use Disable Service to re-enable SystemUpdateService (open app, change to 'System' on top, look for Google Play Services and click it, look for SystemUpdateService which should be red and re-enable it). Phone should go to deep sleep now. Bad news is you'll have to do it again after each reboot.

2nd method: in Euphoria you can somehow block that service under safety settings (sorry, I'm not sure about the exact description since my phone is in German). This setting will also stick after rebooting your device.

3rd method: maybe try updating play services to version 7.0.97 (APKmirror.com) if you don't already have it installed? Some users report their phone goes to deep sleep fine after updating.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ichigo8745:
Can you describe better this? Should I repeat this each reboot?

I'm sorry but, can you describe better 2nd method? I've already tried the 1sd method, but I don't want to repeat it each reboot
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Sviborg2241:
Hey guys, is it actually ok that when using custom hotplug both of the active cores constantly race between 300-1497 Mhz even when I do not touch the screen? If you do not touch your phone using MPD, the active core will remain on 300 Mhz and occasionally jump to 883 Mhz. The governor/hotplug settings are all default except of input_event_timeout set to 1700 ms. Because of this I am actually concerned if hotplug is more battery-friendly than MPD in this case.

p.s. to avoid angry posts, I am not talking about "why do two cores are always online hurr durr", just wondering about these frequency jumps :)

dt2w not working

juat flashed 2.11 ver on my 5.1 nexus5 usinh stock option, double tap 2 wake not working. am i missing something...?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jun_ng_1208:
DT2W isn't enabled by default, did you choose to enable it in the Aroma installer during flashing? You can reflash to enable the option of edit the .conf file using file explorer with root access :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Achilles.:
Must be related to your setup. Probably some root apps. Or just try reflashing EX using Aroma installer.

I guess you have increased the timeout to have a less aggressive stepping down but that is in itself responsible for your prolonged frequency jumps. If you wait for over 20 seconds I'm sure you will have both the cores on 300. And this timeout will reduce the battery savings offered by Custom Hotplug( It will be marginal in my opinion).

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sjeik1985:
i already choose enable dt2w, and 15minutes to disable it.

SOLVED: it not enable after flash (i already enable on aroma), so i purchase ElementalX app. n enable it. worked like charm.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Sviborg2241:
Hm, as I understand from the OP input_event_timeout basically stands for the input boost period and does not affect the stepping down aggressiveness itself. As far as I know, the input boost of MPD is 3000 ms, so setting it to 1700 ms or so will give a bit of battery juice without the hellish scrolling lag. By the way, if I set it to the default 500 ms the jumps will not disappear anyway. I suspect that there might be some background misbehaving app or something, but still MPD shows no such jumps.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] yerfenuj:
Hi xda and cataclysm. Can somebody tell me the latest version of radio and bootloader? Coz i flashed something in zip searched in this forum. Now mine says baseband something hf last 2 letters and bootloader someting .25 last 2 digits

Did you click the apply on boot button on the right side of the option, it should lit up in a power button icon blue if enable on boot :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] szucsgf:
I notice this behavior on most kernels with min cores online=2. When I change to min cores online=1 I always see less frequency jumping while idling, even on custom hotplug. I'm curious if you'd have the same experience.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] russian392:
Try ondemand governor

Speaking of on demand, [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] which is better for battery life, on demand or elementalx?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Primokorn:
I'd say ElementalX even if you should notice negligible differences in terms of battery life.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ben36:
Hi I'm back. I've been off testing code blue and hellscore kernels (mainly for chrome freeze) Elementalx is definitely smoother running throughout (for me) BUT... Within minutes of coming back to elementalx, chrome freeze (none on the other 2 kernels) . Has anyone figured out why yet with this?

I know it sounds stupidly weird, but anyone facing dark camera issue on few apps (confirmed on Whatsapp and Google Cardboard app).

In low light, the image is like super under exposed (-3 ish), but it works fine in Google Camera / other camera apps / Messenger / Instagram.

The strangeness in question, is happening only on 2.11, works like a charm in 2.10 and on Franco r73. ROM used is Stock 5.1 build in all test cases. Already tried common solutions like wiping data/cache, reflashing kernel and stuff.

EDIT: Here are few screenshots from different apps in the same scene. Any more details needed, please ask
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fedor12:
Do you know if this issues present on stock rom? Battery life on my nexus 5 has gone down dramatically over the past few days, only strange thing is the battery stats look completely normal.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Still can't reproduce and no idea why it happens.

Since you can reproduce it easily, can you try different governors? Code blue and hells use variations of interactive I think.

If that makes no diff, maybe try different i/o schedulers.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] donwhall70:
You want to see Chrome freeze.. Go to the Facebook Mobile page for a few lol
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
No dice. I've surfed the web for hours with Chrome, going to as many different sites as I can and it has not frozen at all.

There is some other factor involved here.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] donwhall70:
I got it on bone stock which is why I personally don't blame kernels or roms. And by freeze I mean the browser becomes unresponsive for up to a minute. It can be bad at times.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] OKLYMY:
In response to your reply which you quoted me of accusing the kernel, I have to say I wouldn't have said that if I did not try it out. The fact is I have tested other kernel and it did not cause any freezing in Chrome.

Now I have to agree with you that even I myself don't see how this issue is related to the kernel. So far I've only tried stock settings on ElementalX and other kernel without tweaking/changing anything.

I'm still suspecting a performance issue when the screen is touched as I noticed the freezing only happens when scrolling and it will freeze for about 5-10 seconds before it's back to normal. Also before someone mentions that perhaps the page is still loading, no it is not, I waited until the page has finished loading all contents and when I start scrolling the the freeze happens.

I am really happy with ElementalX's overall performance but the mysterious Chrome freezing is really a big hit to my daily usage, even when I lend my phone to someone else to browse the web, most of the time they will be asking why my phone is freezing in Chrome which can be embarrassing.

Please let me know what else can I try out in ElementalX to pinpoint the issue. However it is also weird that you can't reproduce it, are you also using default settings?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] OKLYMY:
I might just try this later, I think the other kernel is using FIOPS 512 readahead. Why didn't I think of this earlier? :highfive:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] donwhall70:
Hah.. Forgot I posted that.. I actually had about a 10 second lockup today at lunch.. Went 2 1/2 days without one though.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] OKLYMY:
You're using the default ROW scheduler?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] wkwkwk:
I installed 1.13 the other day on KK4.4.4 and noticed that ro.secure.adb is zero in /default.prop!!

This is a huge security issue, why was this disabled?

I decompiled the ramdisk and changed it to 1.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GorfDroid:
I just came back to elementalx from code_blue and the chrome lag is back. Will try other govs and schedulers as others have suggested. If you want to try to reproduce it go to chrome://flags as it is freezing like crazy for me.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] xsoulsaber:
I had the same problem as well after updating to elementalx kernel from stock. I found that if you run CPU-Z app and the sensors options was checked, it would cause a wake lock, which did not occur on stock kernel. I forced stopped CPU-Z, uninstalled the app and the wake lock was gone :).

I hope there could be a fix for this app.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] wrick17:
Maybe a stupid thing to ask, but for once i want to run my phones on all 4 cores, say temporarily. How do i switch them on.. Coz even with mpdececion off max 2 cores come online.

I dont have ElementalX installed on my N5 due to testing another ROM, but this is something I noticed few days go:

System Monitor was reporting that GPU was droping to 27mhz then back to 200mhz (which was the minimum). Other roms Ive used in the past do not go down to 27mhz, but rather respect the 200mhz mark. Could this be a issue that is affecting Chrome?

I didnt see any performance penalty from what I remember.

Tried just for curiosity on N5 running stock 5.0.1 + EX 2.10 + Xposed framework + GravityBox.

Here's a screen record: http://youtu.be/8DrQi0P7SMs

I'm using hotplug with gboost disabled, ElementalX governor, row scheduler, 256 readahead, ElementalX thermal throttling.

All other settings are basically EX default.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] OKLYMY:
I have also come back to ElementalX from Code_Blue. This time I tried FIOPS with readahead of 512 (which should be the same as the other kernel) and so far have not gotten any freezing, just slight stutters which should be Chrome's issue. Will need to use for a few more days to confirm this.

To the rest who have freezing issues in Chrome, maybe you can try the same method as me to confirm as well?

CC: [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

If this works, what is FIOPS doing differently compared to ROW?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ninjablackwing:
It only forces closes for me when I have the colour dashboard option enabled in the settings. You could clear the apps data and then set it up again without selecting colour dashboard option.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sherlock5545:
The only way to produce freezes is to go on sites with Google AdSense ads, like Android Police. And that happens on any kernel, even stock. Otherwise everything is working smoothly. I don't know what's wrong with some of you guys' settings.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] OKLYMY:
That is a very brief freeze, more like stutter instead which that is bearable. Mine and some others are experiencing freezing for about 5-10 seconds before Chrome becomes responsive again.

I am aware of the brief freeze on sites like Android Police where the scrolling pauses a while if it sees an AdSense ad, that is still tolerable in my opinion but not the long 5-10 seconds freeze I'm having.

Ok I have just experienced that freeze even with a different scheduler. What else to look at? :confused:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gverma1:
Chrome

For what its worth, you guys who are facing the Chrome freeze issue helped me confirm that I am not facing this issue. Reading so many posts about Chrome freeze, I thought maybe I am also a victim. Then, as some of you posted, I tried chrome://flags and the scrolling on that page was as smooth as butter. Next I tried androidpolice.com and the scrolling was not as smooth as chrome://flags, but was smooth enough with maybe a slight stutter (which was there on stock kernel also).

Edit: I clicked on an article in androidpolice.com and that page had quite a few ads. While the ads were loading, there was stutter while scrolling and some micro freezing (a second maybe).... but once the ads were loaded, scrolling was smooth.

Hope this helps.

My setup: TWRP 2.8.5.3, Stock 5.1, ElementalX 2.11 (all defaults with fastcharge, cooler colours, backlight dimmer), SuperSu 2.46, Stericsson's busybox

NM. Cleared data and its working.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
just a little general reminder, the more efficient sophisticated or optimized one component is set, the more sensitive it is against flaws of other components.

one example would be to throw a stone into a ships-diesel or a dust corn into a formula 1 engine.

what i'm saying ist that chrome, like so many updates coming from big G, is flawed and a perfect (efficient) set up like this kernel would react more sensitive upon.

EDIT:

BTW i'm on FIOPS and NOOP, mostly NOOP and 2048 or 2688 readahead depending on kernel and device for years now and most of the complaints about lags and stutters of various kind, be it music or whathaveyou, i never encountered like others do. while the total freeze happened to me twice as well yesterday. the long freeze seems to be a different matter than tha stutter though, albeit possibly related.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] giorgis91:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
don't understand exactly what you're heading at, sorry :) my post was related to the fact that some people mention the chrome bug repeatedly as somehow related to this kernel and i wanted to explain that it the kernel is optimal ( good ) it can react more easily towards apps that are flawed ( bad ).

however, should you refer to scheduler and read-ahead, i never made any relation to battery with that. i don't think that this is something worth to follow-up. if there is an impact it's certainly minor. on the other hand it's certainly not bad for battery life because i get 2% in idle on N5/EX combo and 1% overnight with 1+1/boeffla combo, both set to fiops currently and 2048/2688 read/ahead respectively. hope that was what you meant.

should you look for perfect battery life ( manageable ) check for "amplify" in combo with tasker, profiles and greenify experimental. it's the combo of all those which give me the 1-3% overnight as combared to 4-6%
