[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] I just wanted to say that after being a long term user of your kernels on my One X and N7 I finally jumped on the .21 release when it came out. Unlike my One X and N7 which are both running slightly overclocked, I didn't think my Nexus 5 really needed anything more than the stock kernel but I decided to see how your kernel optimizations would work for the N5. I have to say that you did not disappoint! Simply amazing! 33 hrs on battery, 6.5 hrs of sot. Running stock frequencies, ElementalX L2 and bus, ElementalX cpu governor, 750 uv, s2w/dt2w disabled, gboost disabled, fsync disabled, max screen off freq enabled, gpu ondemand governor. Not using any apps to control the kernel. Battery time was with a few phone calls, txts, web browsing, a few hundred feeds in feedly, kindle app, youtube. For the most part I use auto-brightness and the paid version of Greenify with Xposed helps. No Facebook or Google+ and I haven't been using Google Now on the N5. Awesome job with the kernel at this point! I really appreciate all the time you put into your kernels and I think it is way past time I bought you a beer! 9W402673EL595163D

Happy New Year Everybody!

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] not sure if I asked already, what is the cpu voltage steps in the kernel? Ie does it go up/down in increments of 5mv or 12.5mv or 25mv
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
12.5mv
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I've added the elementalx gov and a few other things to the N7. The brightness mod has to be done in a Rom or app rather than kernel on that device. Maybe try the lux app.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] deadpedal:
Loving the kernel. This was the first kernel I used on the n5. I like trying new things so I have tried basically every kernel for the n5 and I always come back to this one. Thanks [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] for your hard work :)

Also the best results for smoothness for me is i/o set to row and read ahead to 256.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DoesntPostAThing:
Flar, is there any way I can donate to you other than PayPal? I tried just giving it my credit card but it failed to authorize it. It's a prepaid MasterCard.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] epithetic:
ElementalX is easily the best kernel out for the Nexus 5 in my opinion. While I was one of the people experiencing performance issues with earlier versions running the elementalX governor, even then it was just a question of setting it back to ondemand, and having a stable, bugfree experience that is just unmatched in terms of smoothness and battery life. I don't like fiddling with third party settings/apps and this just works.

Not to mention the dedication in providing quick updates and development. Definitely plan on sticking with it, and would recommend it to anyone.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] add12364:
Is the simple governor for GPU better for performance than on demand?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
It's more aggressive, but I'm not sure you'll see a major performance improvement unless you are using a very graphics intensive app.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] add12364:
Ok thank you! I would like to say this kernel is the best I have ever used. My nexus 5 would usually drain so much battery sleeping... But now it uses like nothing. Also the performance is ridiculously better. I know benchmarks are unreliable, but I'm getting scores on quadrant standard 2000 points higher than the stock kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bobo_15:
How can I have the InteractiveX governor?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
which tunable should I change to increase the in-call volume when I'm talking to someone? I hear the other person too quietly.

I got 2 random reboots in last couple of days.

On latest factory image+cata mod + EX6.17

Can please take a look at logs attached and suggest what's wrong ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jineshpatel30:
ahh..thanks for checking.

did you find any other thing suspicious ?

i think i need to clean flash the rom :( :sigh:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] RK3601:
Are you using the undervolt feature by any chance? In my experience the only thing that has ever caused a reboot is that. If you are using it, then reset your values to the original and check if you still get reboots
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jineshpatel30:
No no...it's fully recommended state of EX...anyway, flar2 already said it's not related to kernel so i think something is messy and needs clean flash :)

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
wait, today the new images by google should be out, always first monday of the month ( at least till now )

you can save the double work and it's not kernel related as it was stated already, same combo here without issues,

one thing worth to keep an eye on would be be governors and the schedulers while i stopped evaluating further once i got rid of RRs many months ago.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jineshpatel30:
Waiting for the same...(i came to know about Monday release by one of your posts a while ago ;) )

I think most probably issue is too much restore of TWRP "system" for testing ARISE , though i created System Backup from clean state, i think there is still chance of things get messy when you are testing something.

Personally i don't like to play with kernel (my experience on previous device wasn't good :p ) so i keep it in recommended state as far as possible.

In EX i just change cooler color & stock thermal throttle (as EX one gets too Hot with my usage )

Thanks for confirming that it's working without problem for you bcz i had little doubt that it might be due to Cata.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] SGT John Doe:
Any idea why some settings in Kernel Adiutor change back to default time to time with ElementalX?

Mostly audio and vibration strength.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
It's the issue with the Kernel adiutor app. Use kernel adiutor mod app for now. Official app will be updated shortly
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] SGT John Doe:
Do you mean

this one?

And should i uninstall the "real" Kernel Adiutor?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
Yes. I would if I were you but KA mod installs in a different place to avoid conflict with original app
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Globespy:
Security vulnerabilities in Qualcomm

Sorry if this has been answered in this huge thread.

Is the "security patch" verbiage in the kernel notes referring to Google's monthly security patch to address these vulnerabilities? Or do I need to keep updating the ROM?

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Or you could use EX Kernel Manager and have everything work

Both ROM and kernel need to be updated. Actually, the ROM is probably more important. Linux is pretty secure, most of the vulnerabilities are in Android.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chazall1:
I just sold my HTC 10 and back to mu N 5. Great work on the 10 flar2. The button mapper was a great idea. I will be going back to the New Nexus device when it comes out. Not allot of development and HTC has very different approach to updates and flashing etc. Thanks for your support here as well.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tmihai20:
[MENTION=2649074]chazall1[/MENTION]: what made you do that? I mean, Nexus 5 is a good device, but HTC 10 cannot be that bad to make you downgrade like that. You never had an HTC before?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
HTC 10 is a killer device, but if you like modding your phone, Nexus is the only way to go.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chazall1:
This is what I ment to say. The HTC 10 has been the best phone that I have ever owned. I really like the RUU to get back to stock. Phone development and the HTC Sence developers are outstanding. I have gotten use to Nexus devices and asop Roms.

I did not want to give negative impression of the HTC 10 or any of the HTC dev community.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fabio000:
I'm having some trouble with the app

the CPU temperature is always stuck at 37C on the app, but TWRP shows the correct temperature

I thought the cause could be because I overclocked, but I flashed the kernel again with stock settings and still had the problem

-edit-

just confirmed that it's an app problem

I installed CPUZ and it shows the correct temperature
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
monday was independence day, that's one possible reason why it didn't happen, the other is that they're concentrating on "Nougat" and won't provide security updates as regularly as before at the end of the API life cycle or not at all, let's see :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Go to CPU->CPU Temperature and hit the reset icon in the upper right corner. Then you can select whichever frequency you want to show on the Dashboard.

There are a lot of sensors to pick from, the "correct" sensor is a bit subjective. Some show the core temperature (rises and falls quickly) and others show various internal temperatures of the device.

Hi.

I've enabled fast usb charging mode but it's not working, in the lock screen i've slow charging and with Ampere app on Play Store i can see that the value is aroun 500 mA.

Only me have this problem?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
It could be limited due to thermals
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GiGiSSiMo:
Thanks for fast reply! I've got msm_thermal disabled, core_control enabled and cpu limited by ElementalX.

Are you talking about this settings?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
No, the thermal-engine is a service that runs all the time and can limit your cpu, gpu and battery (and even screen brightness)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GiGiSSiMo:
How can I determine if is my case?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I don't know, maybe something shows up in logs.

But it would be temporary if it is thermal.

Another possibility is the usb port you are using is limited to 500.

Check to make sure fastcharge is actually enabled.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GiGiSSiMo:
Yesterday I flash your kernel for first time. Before I used hellsgod: with this and kernel adiutor I was able to fast charge with the same wall charger and USB cable.

Now with your kernel also if USB charge is activated I've no more than 500mA.

If you desire I can make a log for you, if you give me some information about I've to do... Thanks again for your patience.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
hellsgod allows a higher current limit than me (I like to be safe on battery stuff).

Try disabling fastcharge and watch your current with Ampere (You must unplug/replug after enabling or disabling fastcharge)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GiGiSSiMo:
W/O fastcharge 260 mA Max, with fastcharge 660 mA Max. Before, in the same scenario but with the other kernel, i was able to charge till 1,3 A, and in fact i've never seen before slow charge on lock screen.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
So it is working as intended (remember some of those amps are being used to power the device and screen) It's not safe to charge with high current through USB ports.

Don't worry about what it says on your lockscreen. The way I do fastcharge makes Android think it's a normal USB data connection. It has no bearing on the speed of charging.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chazall1:
Fast charge is functioning on my end.

Are there any kernel-related changes for the Nexus 5 in July's update (MOB30P)?

If yes, I shall wait for ElementalX to be updated before flashing MOB30P.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Yes, update will be out later tonight
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Update!!!

July security update.

Do not install on earlier builds!

Please note I am not posting the express version anymore. I have many devices and it takes me all night to upload. You can always get the express version in EX Kernel Manager

ElementalX-N5-6.18

Changes:

-July security update
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] marcusva79:
Clean installed 6.18 and wifi wasnt working? Rolled back over to 6.17 and wifi went back to working. Is it because of the July security patches?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Yes, happens on Angler too. Make sure you are on the July security patch fully before updating. Offender is this commit: https://github.com/flar2/ElementalX-N5/commit/43b83ffb8df519c3f6153f826119ff84e994b68e
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] marcusva79:
okay. was using the dirty unicorns test build which states July patches must not be a fully done yet
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] juggalodrew:
no wifi

i just flashed this and now it broke my wifi
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nathanchance:
1. Don't quote the OP.

2. The answer is in the update post:

Your ROM doesn't have the entire July security patch merged. Revert to a previous build until that is true.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] juggalodrew:
so once i have the full july security patch then flash it ( ElementalX-N5-6.18) and my wifi will work
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] I.m.Tuga:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] YassGo:
We can flash back 6.17 on latest july android ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Note to all users:

Normally, security updates are forward and backward compatible. Not so with the July update.

If your WiFi is broken, please go back to the previous version of the kernel.

Your system must be fully updated with July security patches to use the latest version of the kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
One of the security commits patched files related to voice in phone calls. But this change does should not affect the volume. No other audio code was changed in the kernel, so any difference is likely due to a system-level change.

In other words, most likely not kernel related.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] YassGo:
Really strange. I reverted back to 6.17 and my speaker and phone sounds are okay now.

It seems all audio is impacted...

---------- Post added at 04:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------

I reverted back and all is fine again bro. I don't know where it comes from but my speaker and phone volume seem definitly too low :-/
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Okay, then the security patches to audio must cause this. However, I am not going to change them back because these changes were made by Google to prevent malicious exploits.

You can use EX Kernel Manager or one of the audio mods to increase volumes.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] LewisGauss:
I can increase the volume of the speaker just fine, but what about the earpiece?

---------- Post added at 11:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 PM ----------

Also, you can notice the change in volume while playing music, at the beginning, the volume is normal for a split of a second, then it becomes really soft. Using the sound gain control in EX Manager doesn't solve it too, it just makes the beginning louder, and the subsequent volume to be not as soft.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
do you all read at least 10 posts back or even better the changlog of the update. every second post says the same, then it was answered by mod, devs and myself and you still keep asking (no, not asking, just stating) this? :rolleyes::eek:

start reading ( via searching ) and all is good, next challenge would be for you that patience is a virtue ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jineshpatel30:
Call Sound is fractiously low in latest version compared to previous , i mean it seem it's just 50% of what we were able to hear till last month. i know you said it's mostly due to Security patch by google but sound mod (ARISE) didn't help in anyway to overcome this :(
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] LewisGauss:
I think it could be a problem with the latest factory image.

I had just done a full clean wipe and flashed the new factory image.

No root, but the sound is still really soft.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Yes, it's nothing I've done. The only changes in the latest kernel are from Google.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Globespy:
Latest kernel breaks WiFi

Not sure of anyone else is having these issues. My WiFi is completely broken in the new update. It can't find any WiFi channels. Flashed old kernel and works immediately.

I'm using Pure white ROM.

PS - pure white is based on latest stock Google ROM with latest security patches. WiFi still broken.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] marcusva79:
There is certain patches that have not been updated on certain ROM's. Kernal souce just got released so another update should be brought out soon on the ROM's. Here is what has been missing:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nathanchance:
It's being looked at, apparently Google pushed the vendor blob needed for the fix way later than we thought.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] occtec:
Read above my friend, all your answers are there ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chdloc:
FYI, I'm willing to bet that the problems with voice call volume are correlated with this commit. This in combination with the new audio calibration data (vendor blob) probably cause the volume to not get updated when the user hits the volume keys. A similar commit may cause problems with media volume.

To check, look at the kernel messages while changing the in-call volume during a call

cat /proc/kmsg | grep _CAL

In not sure what happened after v 13 but the battery drain is significant.

I'm using the same ROM, same small set of apps, yet any kernel version after v13 just slaughters my battery.

I've attached an image from system panel that clearly demonstrates what happens when I went from the new kernel back to the old v13.

Unless v13 has security issues then I see no point in changing as the battery life is amazing.

New kernel old rom

Would there be a problem with running a new kernel with an old cataclysm ROM? I'm running 5.0 cataclysm. I feel like the phone is much faster on the older ROM.

The reason I want to try another kernel is so I can undervolt to reduce heat. Thermal throttling is preventing me from using waze and Spotify at the same time while charging and that's not acceptable for my commute.

I suppose it's also worth trying a lower power charger which may keep temps lower.
