Im on N5XL 5.5 using r5 update.. Can i use this kernel (elemental 2.03 )??

Thx
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
No and its rude to ask.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ramjet73:
Is there something broken that needs to be fixed or are you just getting cold sweats from flashing withdrawal?

If you're having problems we might be able to help you here with some workarounds but if you are in withdrawal it's too late and you will have to attend flashers anonymous meetings to get help.

Please look at /sys/android_touch/doubletap2wake

If there is a 0 it will not work, if there is a 1 it will work on the bottom half of the screen, if there is a 2 it will work on the entire screen.

Also make sure there is a 0 in /sys/android_touch/wake_gestures

Also look in /data/local/tmp/ for elementalx.log to see if the init.d script is running at boot.

I can assure you that doubletap2wake works, there is a problem somewhere in your config. All of the info you need is in the OP.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] LeeC:
I got the same problem when the phone booted the script in init.d was not executed. If I manually run the script everything works fine. Phone was rooted and busybox installed. Have no idea why the script was not executed. I changed back to 4.4.4 and elementalx kernel runs pretty well. May it's just a ROM thing, but I'll wait till a more customized and stable lollipop coming :)

And thanks a lot for the amazing kernel:good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ramjet73:
Which ROM were you using when you had the problem with the init.d scripts not running?

I experienced that with the FoxHound ROM and was going to document the init.d problem here, since there appears to be code in the ElementalX editramdisk.sh script to add init.d support if the ROM doesn't include it, but between the bugs in that ROM and the drama in its thread I decided not to bother.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] LeeC:
Thanks ramjet73. I was using the ROM from here:

http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/rom-android-5-0-aosp-gapps-t2932747

Still experienced issue with TomTom on lollipop so I decided to stay with 4.4.4 for a while until everything smooth out. Thanks for looking into it anyway.

Hello, which is the lowest UV parameters what are safe?:) THanks
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
does not exist

what you're seeking does not exist, there is no global lowest safe UV parameter, varies from device to device and depends amongst other things a lot on your chipset's PSV level. best you go and google for it to get a wide range of answers.

Error flashing

Guys,

I tried to flash 2.03 using twrp on the stock rooted rom, and got a message saying "error opening zip file" in TWRP. Anyone came across this before? how can i get it to flash?

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jpcdeux:
Wow. Not even an hour of straight use I can already see a difference! Charging faster too! LOVE IT
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jun_ng_1208:
Bad download perhaps? Maybe try downloading the zip again? And are you on stock Lollipop ROM?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Recl@imer:
Apparently it was a bad download, I was able to install. Thanks man. I'm using Vomer's stick rom.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] lion_2006:
The battery life is very good but the performance is weak and there is lag everywhere specially in messenger chat heads for example and sometimes the phone suddenly has a very heavy lagging !!!!

I installed the kernel as it is without changing any thing , what can I Do becuase it's irritating and i want to keep the good battery life with a high performance ???????
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nadiros:
OK then, tell us what you did to break this kernel [emoji52] .... Seriously, how bout some detail on your setup, and maybe its something really obvious we can help you with. Have you read the OP? Do you understand the basics of this kernel? It differs a little bit from the norm, but in a good way.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Obviously something went wrong, this kernel is very snappy. Did you install this over another custom kernel? Did you change some settings? Do you have kernel apps messing with settings?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DrearierJester1:

I didn't do anything , I flashed stock Factory image , then the TWRP and root using NRT then flashed the kernel without changing any option
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Well , many thousands of others have installed it and do not have lag. My kernels don't lag, or have any other problems. Completely stable and best balance of performance and battery life available.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] snorfu:
Your kernel is great, but in comparison to stock there're some little stutters. I think it's the only way to save some juice significally...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Recl@imer:
Maybe you undervolt too much?

I really like this kernel, and the app for a beta, it's really amazing.

Why are you guys so much into Undervolting?? I've tried my best to undervolt to the max without having reboots and I must say I don't see/feel any difference in whatever I'm doing. Be it gaming or doing normal usage.

If I'm missing any point as to why you guys undervolt, I would really like to know.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
Some do so for heat. But for me, although some say its negligible, I do see a benefit of battery performance. I see it much more than others report.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jayplusone:
I think I stopped trying to undervolt after my Nexus S days. Absolutely no benefit in MY usage. :confused:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vin4yak:
I guess I'm in the same category like "others" as I don't see any difference in battery when undervolted. May be because the ambient temperatures where I live are pretty high so, undervolting doesn't make a difference like it does when the ambient temperatures are pretty low?!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
Yeah. It really shouldn't make *much* difference at all for battery. I would say it shouldn't even be noticeable. Just for me it does seem to be.

Edit > well don't crappatalk.

I Didn't doubt your kernel I'm just asking what is going wrong with me .. Maybe you can help me with some adjustments for the kernel options so I can increase performance even if it will drain more battery I don't mind, I only care about performance ... So. What can I do ??
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I would wipe and do a clean install. The default settings are best and you shouldn't have any lag with them. It sounds like something is wrong with your setup, but it's impossible for me to know what it is.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] lion_2006:
I Flashed the stock rom using latest version of Nexus Root Toolkit wich supports Android L >>> maybe this is the reason and there is another way to flash stock rom ??
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jayplusone:
Reflash your rom.. let it settle for a few minutes and then reflash EX. You should have zero lags unless you are extremely undervolted or have the power saver feature on lollipop turned on. EX is.. Bulletproof :victory:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] davidbar93:
Flash the rom with fastboot.. Then go to recovery and make factory reset + wipe cache partition. Boot your device ,let it settle a few minutes(20-30). Flash TWRP recovery. Go to recovery and flash ex kernel. After you finish( you can choose stock ondemand governor instead of elementalX if you really want performance over balance) wipe cache+ dalvik and reboot the device. That's all ,Profit.

I see you're new here. FYI: People on this site generally don't like it when you don't search/read for an answer before asking for help. It might seem a little mean at first, but people do a lot of hard work here and receive little in return. It makes everyone have to work harder if a bunch of people are constantly asking how to do something when the answer is just a few pages back.

Start here and follow this if you break something.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nmlssit:
Off topic, but anyone noticed this?

Lollipop lies about RAM usage.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
Weird, you seem to have a toggle missing on your ram usage screen, which most likely accounts for your "lie"
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sherlock5545:
It's under the three-dot menu. I think your lower DPI leaves more space for the toggle to be always there.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] garynych:
(use 128)

in all stock kernels is 128... if in kernel not 128, then is bad idea... lags present in games like real racing3,asphalt 8 !

If a stock is not like,try use 2048 or 3072
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] scrack26:
why is it that Aroma Installer selected 256 instead of 128?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] garynych:
author kernel so wanted to ... ask him what is the reason

I just assume my experience ...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] scrack26:
i am using stock settings, just using the color profile other than that all stock, i guess i'll just stay stock settings because i have no lag at all.

thanks!

... lol [emoji28]

But even with that, lollipop says 350mb free ram, cat proc/meminfo says 80mb :P
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] hellsgod:
Some ram is cached stuff or reserved and not used. meminfo shows you only real free ram. If you don't have any redraws or slow downs, you shouldn't complicate your life with worrying about ram and just let android do the job ;)

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] NOTilyass:
can someone enlighten me please ? So I last night i flashed a custom lollipop rom then elementalx with 1.7ghz clock and underV of -100. When i woke up it was working fine, then the phone shut down and I had boot loops, but the phone was rebooting on its own right after the google logo. After few hours I tried booting it many times, still not working then for some reason it did reboot just fine and when i tried to pick it up, it rebooted itself again. Anyway i tried to factory reset the phone, took me forever to get the phone to stay stable just enough to flash stock rom. Then right after the first boot was fine, till I picked my phone up again, then same problem again infinite rebooting. Few hours later, I randomly try to boot it up and it was just fine, everything seems to be working just fine. So did the undervolting cause something?? and the phone just needed to stay shut down for few hours to fix itself ??
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] notbrodie:
when you undervolt, assume that any issues that happen after are due to the undervolt. it can cause very unpredictable behavior.

as an aside: -100 is a LOT of uv. try something a little more conservative like -25 or -50, and your problem will likely disappear
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] NOTilyass:
yeah but i had problems like 8hours after the undervolt ?? still possible ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] notbrodie:
yes. remember: unpredictable
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gpvecchi:
Does the 2.03 still have the TRIM @ boot function?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] notbrodie:
it's in the init.d script, but it doesn't appear in the log file, which leads me to believe it isn't currently working

@flar2

do you know if the mpd touchboost file has changed? I've got the power.msm8974.so file renamed and I've rebooted, but the mpd touchboost still remains.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DRAGON_poop:
Hi, I rooted using wugfresh toolkit and few days ago I flashed ElementalX kernel. It's working great, but I have one question. Does wugfresh toolkit install a custom kernel as well? I flashed EX over the kernel that was already present after root and I'm wondering if I should have wiped or reverted back to stock.

No.

I asked a question about the powerHAL a couple of weeks ago because I noticed I can either have mpdecision on with touch boost or no touch boost but also no hot plugging. I delete my powerHAL but still have touch boost until I turn off mpdecision.

about color control in FKU. the color tweaker shows up as an option I can tweak but when I move the 3 dials for red, green and blue, nothing happens. the color doesn't change at all like it did on franco kernel and code blue. any ideas?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jayplusone:
Assuming you dirty flashed your ROM before switching kernels my only advice is to buy the EX app.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I think it's built into the mpdecision binary. You could try grabbing the mpdecision binary from kitkat (you could find it in the kitkat version of EX) and try using it on lollipop. If it works, it might give you hotplugging without touchboost.

I think RGB works the same on all the kernels, not sure why it wouldn't work with FKU.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
I'll try it and feedback.

Edit [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] - seems to be the same.

Delete PowerHAL and swap /system/bin/mpdecision for EX1.13 (with full permissions), mpdecision enabled, hotplugging works, but ramps core 0 and 1 to 1267MHz on touch.

Edit 2 > maybe I;m wrong. Maybe it was just naturally ramping to that through load.... Gah! It's really hard to tell.

Must say really great kernel.

I had terrible battery life after coming from kitkat to lollipop.

Now i am having 3-4hr SOT.

Thank you very much dev
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] xVermicide:
that is horrible.. I was getting only 3-4hr SOT on kitkat, now I get 5-6hr SOT with stock LRX21O and code blue kernel. you should try getting a replacement if your warranty is still active and you have a receipt.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Battery life depends on many factors, I doubt anything is wrong with the phone. Could be usage patterns, could be temperature, could be mobile signal. Who knows.

As long as you have stock ROM with twrp you can flash it. I flashed it on top of rooted factory image just fine.
