Trust me, it's more work to fiddle with the OTA. Just do the steps I mentioned and you will have a perfectly installed system. It takes me only a few minutes. Check the forums and you will find how to setup fastboot and adb. It's worth it because this needs to be done every month to get the latest security patches.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] creeve4:
I use the exact same method that flar2 outlined, expect I flash EX right after SuperSU without booting to system in-between. I've never had an issue upgrading this way.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gverma1:
I go a bit farther. After flashing the four stock ROM files using fastboot, I do go into twrp recovery as flar2 suggested. There i flash SuperSU, ElementalX and Xposed one by one all together. Clear cache and dalvik-cache and reboot. All turns out kosher each time. :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tarcis:
Here's what I did:

-Downloaded the latest OTA image https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/ota

-Download latest SuperSU http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu-stable

-Download latest ElementalX http://elementalx.org/devices/nexus-5/

-reboot to TWRP

-Installed OTA, then SuperSU, then ElementalX

-reboot

-first boot will take a while as it optimizes apps, let it do this

I like this approach... that fundamentally is not so different from others but do not require any PC... but only the N5...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
You made the effort, that's good enough. It's the thought that counts :good:

Is there any final word on what features/changes may have caused the TWRP password issues some users experienced earlier?

what are your experiences with undervolting? my N5 isnt even booting with 700 , but 725 seems to be stable
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] 54cerkez54:
Hi folks!

I got two questions.

First: how long does your battery take to be full charged from 1% to 100%? My device needs over five hours. Is that normal?

Second: I can watch only HQ quality on YouTube and not in HD. Why I can't turn the quality on in HD

Thx for your help

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tom540:
1) I'm not sure exactly how long, but its quite a bit longer wirelessly than plugged in

2) Try watching on WiFi and that the video actually supports HD, as many videos are only HQ - this should have nothing to do with the kernel though :)

I thought that the issue with TWRP asking for a password was gone, but I just booted into it three times and got the "enter password" screen each time. I hit cancel each time and booted to system, but lost some data (such as Trickster settings) each time. Any guidance on problem determination steps to take?

(I'm on latest slim ROM.)

From my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I don't think it's related to the kernel in your case, as there are nearly 3000 downloads of .21 and .22 and nobody has reported it except you.

In answer to the earlier question, I don't know what caused it in the first place, as I was unable to reproduce it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] suneet mehta:
Does using backlight dimmer reduce the effect of cooler colours or its just the brightness? I can't figure it out!:confused:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
mine won't boot from 675 if I choose it as a option from installer 700 is fine , but if I change it to 675 after I'm up and running it works and it will reboot just fine , I just leave it at 700 tho now

Wireless - 2-3 hours

Ac - 1-1.5 hours probably less

USB - dunno guess of 2 -3 hours (in truck )

Usb fast charge 1.5 +ish

Nothing scientific here just me thinking back from my day to day use . try a different charger if your using the charger that came with it that's probably the issue, there junk ! ( I have 5 of them 4 r broken) lg makes a really nice charger that came with my G2 that's 200% better quality , they got cheap for us .

Dunno about YouTube mine works fine , not all videos have those options only thing i think of, but if something is wrong its ROM related or app
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Syk69:
Are you using multirom? If so update to latest. That issue no longer exists with the newer elemental releases .21, .22
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Sayan1987:
Exactly the same, so i install with 700 and then apply with trickster 675 after boot.

Same here. The last kernel I enjoyed this much was AK kernel on my Galaxy Nexus.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] grep_i:
Supersu and ElementalX kernel can be flashed in one go without rebooting.

In my case I do also flash Xposed in the same go.

So flash monthly update with changing the in my case "flash-all.sh" remove the "-w" in second last line.

After that reboot to recovery I do this without flashing or installing recovery and do flash then.

Supersu, no reboot

Elementalx kernel, no reboot if you want Xposed too otherwise reboot now.

Optional Xposed, reboot after this one.

Never had a problem doing it this way.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] siren215:
I used to use this kernel when i was on Cataclysm rom. Now i am on Xtrasmooth rom, which is stock based rom. I use the default kernel which came with it and have installed xposed. It works without any issues. Will it cause problems for me if i flash this kernel alongwith xposed? I use xposed for GravityBox but need the kernel for the battery life it gives.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] KorokHidup:
Tried to overclock the 4 cores to max but apps starting to crash randomly.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gverma1:
No issue with xposed. Am using stock ROM + EX + xposed with no problems.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] siren215:
Ah thx. Will flash it then.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Obviously your phone can't handle over clocking.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] siren215:
You are brave enough to try it. Try overclocking in step by step increments.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TeddySika:
I just flash this kernel and set to undervoltage to 750 min. With the lowest brightness, my screen is flashing. Is it tells instability to undervoltage my device?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
It's probably not due to undervolting, it's the panel hardware. If you have ex kernel manager you can change the minimum brightness to something higher and prevent that.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AndroidBR:
I just noticed that when I open the kernel app and try to select and open the CPU settings, absolutely nothing happens. But, if I select a different option, for instance, GPU and then select CPU, it will finally get to CPU settings. That's... Very strange... Anyone else experienced this?

Edit: Wiped app settings and it's working now.

I found flashing 6.20 on MOB30Y makes fast charging not work. Is anyone having the same problem or just my bad luck?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] grep_i:
Check your cable or might be a bad one I guess if that's not the case you are the only one with that problem.

Fast charging is working here and I haven't heard complaints from others about it not working.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
It works. Sometimes the charge rate is throttled due to temperature or other battery indicators.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] KorokHidup:
Actually I've done it before when using a lollipop rom months ago and everything is just fine. :laugh:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] username8611:
6.20, Wifi doesn't work with latest Chroma (July security patch). Anyone else using this combo?

edit: updating to latest bootloader and radio doesn't fix it.

edit: fixed it. Apparently I was still on a very old TWRP; 2.8.7.1. I then reflashed everything and made sure to flash the kernel before the first boot back into Android.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Your chip is older now, and it's probably hotter outside. It probably wasn't stable then either.

Update your system or use an older version of the kernel.

It doesn't matter what the rom says, if there is no Wi-Fi, it isn't updated.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jazzh:
I'm running 6.20, now i want halfscreen dt2w enabled and power button. Should I flash kernel again and choose such a config? Kernel audiotor is buggy...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fajarlazuarding:
No need to reflash kernel, and you should use ElementalX kernel editor for flawless configuration ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] occtec:
I found having backlight dimmer enabled can cause this on certain custom kernels, disabling this option usually fixes the problem. I had the same issue a while back using this option enabled but with Franco Kernel. Hope this helps..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TeddySika:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
You can still use the dimmer, just increase the minimum level by one or two.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] grep_i:
Nope in the changelog / manual it is explicitly stated to not flash this over other custom kernels.

You have to return to stock kernel first by flashing the default boot.img for your device.

Why is it that nobody read the changelog / manual a lot of question would not even had been asked here.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] khanhlinh:
I use the latest TWRP version and still encounter this problem (latest CHROMA build with July patch)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tom0769:
Obviously latest chroma does't include the security patch. Use older version of elementalx 6.17
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mnsiw:
Thanks grep_i :) you are right, usually I read, but sometime.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] username8611:
I was incorrect in thinking that I have fixed it and forget to update my post again. What happened is I forgot to add the kernel to my flash list and it booted with the stock kernel still installed. I've since moved back to 6.17.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] hjjiang:

Thanks for replying to a noob?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gverma1:
A bit OT, but my N5 has developed a problem. It randomly stops detecting SIM card and mentions 'No SIM. Emergency Calls only'. This happens typically after I reboot the phone. At this time, everything works except phone services (calls and messages) which means I cannot use the phone. Opening up the phone and tapping here and there normally resolves the issue. It seems something maybe loose. Then again, if I reboot the phone which is perfectly working, it again fails to detect the SIM card - so reboot is also causing this issue to crop up. Have checked with multiple SIM cards and used my regular SIM card in another phone and it works fine. Would be very grateful if anybody could guide me how to go about resolving this issue. Have already downgraded to Lollipop, upgraded, relocked bootloader, unrooted, everything. Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
It's probably a hardware issue. Maybe a shim to put the card in tighter, or clean the sim card, or try to get in and clean the sim card contacts. I doubt you will fix this through software.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Arstoien:
Any chance you've changed your battery recently? I had the same problems after putting in a new battery (apparently defective one). On top of that sometimes the phone would just switch off all of a sudden, without animation or anything. Put back the old battery and everything was fine.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gverma1:
I guess my phone would be okay. Have a spare sim in it to test. The sim tray should not be pressed in all the way. I think a couple of dings on the phone caused the sim assembly to be slightly misaligned. Have put some tape at the end of the sim tray so that it doesn't go all the way in. Phone has been working fine so far. Will test it for a few days before i make it my daily driver again. Thanks for all your suggestions.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] SGT John Doe:
Why does not ElementalX Kernel include the CPU governor Interactive? ElementalX are chewing my battery like food and in best case i survive like 8 hours. With Interactive on other Kernels i survive like 24 hours, or atleast 20 hours if i'm gaming much.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] grep_i:
Are you serious, why don't you stay on those other kernels is there something special ElementalX is offering you while other kernels would last 3x as long while gaming much.

Or are those kernels not stable or something I'm very curious why you want ElementalX to change to your needs while you say you can get better already ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] SGT John Doe:
Well yes i am sir. Earlier i had some issue with the Rom i use and ElementalX was the the one that worked the best, so i got stucked with it.

I have to clarify. If i use ElementalX kernel but switch to Ondemand, i get atleast 20+ hours with my overall gaming, but i missing Interactive.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chdloc:
Take a look at this post that I recently wrote on this very topic.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
It will be fully patched in the next release, beginning of September. I believe there is only one patch needed on the kernel side.

But in the meantime, as long as you aren't opening weird files or installing cracked APKs, you have nothing to worry about. It was blown way out of proportion by companies trying to make a buck off Android security.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] pianistaPL:
I really don't know how people can be so scared about Android security. These monthly security bulletins are pointless IMO, it's nothing but marketing. OK, maybe it makes sense for totally idiots who download thousands of risky .apks, but when someone download only safe .apks and doesn't get fooled by fake antivirus scanning websites, then it's 100% safe even with Android 2.3 :P Also, the popularity of antiviruses on the Play Store makes me laugh. That's not Windows lol.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Yup, the apps showed me that these two patches were needed:

Not that I trust the app that much. But patches aren't a fix for common sense.

We should take security seriously, with all that valuable personal info on our phones. But yes, antivirus companies miss the old days where they made millions off Windows vulnerabilities.

I'm just going to post this question and hope I'm not going to be trashed. What are the chances of you releasing elementalX for the N5 on nougat. Some of us are probably running it already and since it seems to be quite stable for an alpha build I'm sure people are curious to know if you'll ever consider. elementalX turned out to be quite addictive for me.

[/COLOR [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] I know it is too early to ask but will there be a elementalx kernel for Nexus 5 on nougat?

(This question has no intention to abase you or your hard work in any manner)

Your kernel is the best kernel in terms of performance, battery life and the display functionality.

These are few of the amazing works that have resurrected Nexus 5 with android nougat

1)blu_sp★rk r101 have also released a kernel here(http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/kernel-t2697951)

2)There is also an android rom for hammerhead by Santosh M(very stable except battery drainage) here(http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/wip-aosp-nougat-nexus-5-t3446875)

3)And there is also another android N rom by bokbokan here(http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/development/rom-cm12-unofficial-hammerhead-gapps-t2969820)

4)And there is one more rom for hammerhead here(https://plus.google.com/u/0/+ChirayuDesai/posts/5bg9ncGeo2s)

I hope these links with prove fruitful.

For hammerhead?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Shiestie:
You can probably set it with the 'user settings' portion of the EX Kernel Manager, I've never tried to disable logging but I do use it to set SELinux to Permissive. But you change pretty much anything is those settings.

I thought he had one for hammerhead on github just not complied yet, but I could be wrong
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] metahex12:
in app, there is no disable logging option or i couldn't find it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Shiestie:
No under the Tools tab, User Settings... You can change pretty much anything in the kernel.. I cant tell you where logging would be located but its most likely in there.. You just gotta look, like SElinux flag is under sys/fs/SElinux/enforce.. There isn't a toggle for it, using the user settings portion is pretty much editing the kernel files, so if there's a logging flag for on or off, you'll most likely change it from 1 [on] to 0 [off]
