I think CM did something with their "kernel". So, i don't have touch boost right now with CM11 + ElementalX 0.24.

I am a noob in kernel things, but maybe you should look into this: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/57452/ or http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/57644/
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] garu12:
They are making changes to their kernel. If you flash Elemental well.... you no longer have the cm kernel so those mean nothing. So your phone should be boosting awayyyyyyyyyyy.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] iPsychoGeek:
But i did, i flashed ElementalX over CM nightly and still i have no touchboost.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Indeed, I thought the point of custom kernels was to add more features and increase performance, not to cripple performance to get unnecessarily long screen on times. Battery life is important, so I do appreciate feedback on people's results. But personally, I rarely have more than 2 hours of screen time in a day and the current setup is usually adequate for me to go two days without a charge. I usually charge it at night anyway.

If the max screen off is disabled, the max screen off frequency will be whatever you chose as maximum frequency. No matter what, if your phone is sleeping, the CPUs will be idled. If there is activity while screen is off the max screen off freq will limit it to 1190, otherwise it will go up to 2.3 (or your custom max) if the load demands it.

I don't think you'll gain too much by limiting the GPU freqs

Try dirty flashing the ROM, then reinstalling elemental
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] filthygoat223996:
Somehow my phone seems to have all 4 cores on even at low CPU load. Using elementalx
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Dirty flash your Rom and reinstall the kernel.

When you have problems like this it's usually because another custom kernel has modified your ramdisk or removed/modified system files.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Happened to me when I installed elementalX after coming from Bricked, since mpdecision is disabled all four cores are online since there is no alternate hotplug solution, I already knew which files to edit so no problem
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] iPsychoGeek:
I did, still no touchboost.

Also, franco works well.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] WarRaven:
Does everyone have haptic feedback in recovery?

Oddly I do after last few days.

Same here Same rom...but only on worldstar so far and its on the outline of vid (right and bottom)..doesn't bother me much but will still like to fix it

Also have issue with Chrome where a website would load up but contents won't show until I rotate screen...screen stays white until I rotate
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I will take a look at these later. I've been expecting cm to break compatibility. Maybe they finally have.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] iPsychoGeek:
Also, their stock kernel doesn't have a touchboost. And default governor is "Interactive".

I think they broke something with "power.msm8974.so".

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

wondering if you have used (or are using) LMT?

could you take a look at this note from noname81 (the dev of LMT)

the issue is that am able to use pie controls, but ISAS & Gestures just don't trigger
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I see they've made big changes to the kernel. Including disabling touchboost in powerhal (which franco does already, which is why it still worked normally). I will have a look this weekend, I can probably fix the touchboost, but some of the other changes they've made may break other stuff. We'll see, but I may not have the time to follow cyanogenmod's constant tinkering. My first priority for this kernel is to work with stock/stockish/AOSP based ROMs.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Alfonso87:
I can say it works wonderfully with PA and OMNI, way better than their stock kernels LoL
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Grondinm:
Leave CM behind i say. If they want to butcher the kernel/other things then let them deal with the complaints. So many other better roms in my opinion that stay true to AOSP form
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I don't use LMT, not sure what it's looking for.

Maybe I will look into this sometime

ElementalX gov is tuned for max battery life without performance loss.

Ondemand is the stock governor, which should give excellent performance, perhaps less battery life.

I just use stock Dalvik. I really don't change much because I need to have a steady baseline to test kernel changes. I'm still using the cataclysm ROM though. It's very much like stock but has a few options and conveniences added.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
To get certain functions working in lmt, we need to set the input type depending on the screen size and input method..

This is the screen where device is chosen

If no changes are made at the kernel, the choice would obviously be 1 that's Nexus 5..

The Dev says if the order is changed in the kernel we would need to choose the appropriate number..

I tried getevent -p, it says unknown device..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] suneet mehta:
I am using lmt. You just have to set the gesture input as the third one instead of nexus 5 and you are good to go..!!;);)

Hit thanks if I helped you.;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
hey that's awesome Suneet

thanks for the tip :)

i'll try it out & see if it works!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] WarRaven:
Could it be your recovery perhaps?

Are you using Twrp or cwm, that could be the issue from what I gather.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Thanks, developing this kernel has been a very enjoyable experience so far.

Your installation options are stored in /etc/elementalx.conf. The express installer checks to see if you have this file. If you have it, your settings will be saved. If the file is not there, the installer will give you a fresh copy with all default options.

If you flash a new ROM, or do a full update (one that wipes clear the system partition) you will lose /etc/elementalx.conf and the express installer will give you defaults again. If you want to keep your settings when trying out a new ROM, just copy /etc/elementalx to your sdcard and drop it back in /etc after you install. You don't even have to do this before installing elemental. For example, you could install the new ROM, install elementalx express version, then reboot to the system and cp elementalx.conf back to /etc. Then after a reboot, you will have your old settings back.

Not sure why you have no touch in the aroma installer. What recovery are you using? I have TWRP and it works well. I think there is a new version of aroma out, which I will include in the next release. That might help.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
whow, that's it, quick and easy, thanks a lot :) :good:

i was sure there was a way so i have to install express when elementalX with tweaks was installed before, the rest i got clear.

as to touch, i'm using CWM and i'm already sure that there lies the reason, no problem, up to now each major recovery has it's

point to pay attention to, so now that i know it, and now that i know how to keep my settings, this is no further issue.

this is fun indeed, sometimes out of curiousity i would like to know the average age in forums, i suspect that this average is a bit higher

in this thread than in others, albeit not quite in my range of 66 years of age currently :) :highfive:

now i can stay with this without consideration.

then i have another question, is there a way to have to cooler colors active and tweaking the colors with an app going from there, so that the

black would stay black, the yellowish would be still gone but i could perhaps take a whiff of blue out of it.

yeahh... this is quite a bit detailistic but as a designer for many years i have that itching me to make things look perfect for my eyes :)

best regards

Quick question, flar2:

What's the chances to see GPU being OC'd? Does 450 is chip limit or that requires major coding? I mean - that would be really nice to get even more fps for things like rr3 and such. If that possible of course :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nikosrs4:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] can you see this post? Is there anyway related to the kernel? I don't know, that's why I'm asking. Others don't have that problem with the same ROM.

I had this problem on an earlier device (HTC Incredible S), where i would press install in playstore & the phone would become completely unresponsive till the download completed.

is this what you facing?

i always thought it was an issue with the memory being full (or maybe the storage as well)

since others don't have this issue, it may not be kernel related, but maybe something eating too much of your CPU or memory.

use CPU spy or system monitor to see how much of your resources are being utilized while you in playstore or downloading..

if your issue is different, sorry for the unnecessary post :P

You could do this, but there is an conf file that you can edit to make it 100%. This is one thing I love about this kernel, you can edit so much without the need for an app!

Not to mention, the installer is just awesome. You flash, setup as you go along, then you enjoy using your phone. Follows the KISS principle nicely and I'm a fan :)

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tasssadar:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]: I think your kernel installer corrupts cmdline - if "use current initrd" mode is used, you use mkbootimg to build the new boot.img, and you supply cmdline.cfg to it's --command-line argument, but cmdline.cfg is whole config file for abootimg. This means several config options are prepended to the command line, resulting into something like this:

root@hammerhead:/ # cat /proc/cmdline
pagesize = 0x800 kerneladdr = 0x8000 ramdiskaddr = 0x2900000 secondaddr = 0xf00000 tagsaddr = 0x2700000 name = cmdline = console=ttyHSL0,115200,n8 androidboot.hardware=hammerhead user_debug=31 msm_watchdog_v2.enable=1 l2_opt=1 vdd_uv=1 max_oc0=2265600 max_oc1=2265600 max_oc2=2265600 max_oc3=2265600 uart_console=enable lcd_maker_id=primary lge.hreset=off lge.reset=unknown gpt=enable lge.kcal=0|0|0|x lge.rev=rev_11 androidboot.laf androidboot.emmc=true androidboot.serialno=02b6ec61215fc56a androidboot.bootloader=HHZ11k androidboot.baseband=msm bootreason=reboot androidboot.hardware.sku=D821 androidboot.hardware.ddr=hynix androidboot.hardware.display=orise

Just took a few low light photos on the slopes, turned out fine. I didn't use flash though, as this sensor lets in enough light and flash doesn't really help with anything far.

Just started using this kernel; love the idea of lower brightness levels, but I find on this kernel that the lowest setting is too dark, and the next step up is considerably brighter. Is it not possible to allow for steps in between? It would be useful for reading at night, but I find the lowest setting again just too dark on my device. Thanks for your work :)

Hello.

Every kernel you will try or OC your phone,tapatalk will still be laggy.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nealkoy:
Why would you want it disabled? Touchboost makes all the differences in smoothness for elementalx kernel especially with ART.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ks2332:
BC even without touch boost mpdecison still hotplugs efficiently enough to not have noticeable lag
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Syk69:
Hmmm strange, I don't notice lag or jitter. Flar just added performance boosting tweaks from .23 to .24. So don't understand how you get better performance on previous version. Maybe because of the deadline tweaks are made for low latency improvement. Before it was set more for throughput. Which it would affect during high i/o activity times mostly. Like multitasking of background downloading, installing apps while you scroll in another app.

You could try deadline tweaks of fifo_batch at 4 or 8 , read expire 250, write expire 2500. To help under those kind of situations.

Also ROW tweaks of

Hp_read_quantum 100

Hp_swrite_quantum 5

Lp_read_quantum 3

Lp_swrite_quantum 2

Rd_idle_data 5

Rd_idle_data_freq 20

Rp_read_quantum 75

Rp_swrite_quantum 4

Rp_write_quantum 4

I use those settings and notice no jitter or lag, just silky smooth scrolling. :)

I agree. I prefer smoothness/performance over little battery life gain. Battery life is already excellent on this kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I've been taking a short break, but also testing a few things out, nothing big. One of the things I tried was disabling touchboost and using an alternative. It was not as smooth and I didn't find it made a huge difference on battery. There is a possibility of doing this at some point, but for now I'm sticking with what's working.

The next release will come maybe tomorrow or Tuesday. Just fixing things here and there (like installer fixes, getting rid of the green line on the edge of videos in portrait mode, compatibility with various ROMs, etc.)

Thanks for your effort.

I got a question here.. I'm seeing some idle drain in my case (20% in 8 hours). I don't have dt2w or s2w enabled and I'm using elementalx governor with gboost enabled.. With simple Gpu governer. I'm knowledged enough to use battery apps and get the partial wake locks and find the culprit app.. But in this case I'm seeing the issues from kernel itself. The gsam battery says kernel and Android os is taking 30% of the whole battery.. Where in betterbattery stats.. A lot of weird kernel wake locks are there.. They are name like this "event1-915 event0-915 event2-915" in addition to wlan_rd/rx/wd_wake (i know these are wifi wakes).. Do you have any idea regarding this?
