I have a "low sound" problem after latest EX update.What is default sound settings _?( I don'T want sound improvement only default sound settings) mine is set to "0" for all options.Thanks

I am using ex kernel manager app btw.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] simplicio11:
If i tap on left menu and then Sound, here you are:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
If you have everything at zero and don't touch anything, your sound is at default levels.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Uninstall the app and then reinstall it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] reS28raM:
I have the same, rom is PureNexusProject, the rest is the same.

http://pastebin.com/21wW45Wx
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] slmklc:
no mate, my sound decreased I can feel it :) far lower than 6.11's default settings.there must be a conflict or something.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] reS28raM:
(clean flash)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] simplicio11:
No lucky if I reinstall the app :(
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I'll double check mine tonight.

But since you're on betas, you may need to completely uninstall and reinstall the app. I suspect you may have briefly installed version 2.49, which had a problem with the apk.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
It does not force close on my phone. Please uninstall completely, reinstall and let me know what happens.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] simplicio11:
ok, now works fine. I unistall it, reboot the phone and then I install 2.51. Thanks! :good:

Hi [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

On v6.12 and latest EX app on a N5 on the latest 6.0.1 the issue where the camera gerture didn't stick on 'enabled' even if the set on boot option was selected seems fixed. However it seems that you got to wait few mins after boot until it starts working, I guess this is normal.

Thanks a lot!

¡Keep up the great work!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
It's not lower. Every release, no matter what sound driver is used, has stock volume levels if no settings are touched.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] LewisGauss:
Hi, I am using the EX Kernal app, is anyone else facing the problem which the max frequency is stucked?

After enabling the powersaving mode, the max frequency is lowered to 1.2GHz, however, after disabling the powersaving mode, the max frequency doesn't go back to 2.3GHz, it stays at 1.2GHz until I restart my device.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] looney_tkp™:
i had this problem..its busybox

it installs into system/bin, nd the busybox that came with the kernel is in system/xbin

to return to stock, install busybox into system/xbin amd reboot...it should work
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] edwinek:
I'm slightly (ahem) behind schedule updating ElementalX. Can I safely flash 6.12 over 6.09? Or do I need to flash version by version?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
shot ahead, no problem :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] LewisGauss:
Is anyone else getting the EX kernel app crashing when opening the sound settings?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Were you using the betas? You might have to uninstall the app, reboot and reinstall the app. Maybe wiping settings will do the trick. Please let me know.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TempleBishop:
Working fine on Shamu And the latest v. of Cataclysm Marshmallow here.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] grep_i:
Nope I do not have this problem. Which rom do you have I am using stock.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
It's not related to ROM or kernel or anything.

I think this will only affect people who took beta versions of the app, one of which had an internal apk problem. It is resolved by uninstalling, rebooting, then reinstalling the app.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] LewisGauss:
Alright! I have reinstalled the app, now the sound settings are working properly. But I wasn't in any beta programme. However, my Max frequency is still getting stuck at 1.2GHz after enabling and disabling the powersaving mode. Enabling the performance mode also locks the max frequency at 1.5GHz. I have tried installing the busybox at different locations, but none did the trick. What can I do to solve it?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I don't know. I leave my cpu frequencies alone.

Maybe you are being thermal throttled?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] LewisGauss:
I am sure it isn't thermal throttling because the temperature is not high, also, the app shows 1.2GHz as the max frequency. It goes back to 2.3GHz only after I restart my phone. I checked the settings, the CPU Max is supposed to stay at 2.3GHz after enabling the performance mode, only the governor is supposed to change. However, upon enabling the performance mode, the max frequency is lowered to 1.5GHz instead of staying at 2.3GHz, the governor is correctly changed, but the CPU and the GPU are under clocked. Is anyone else facing the performance and powersaving problem?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
where do you take your information from? for a very long time now i have seen the value shown in the CPU tab as the value of used frequencies instead of the set maximum. if you want to know whether it's really not working as expected you'd have to consult the log whowing used frequencies over a certain time period and chances are hight that the max used does not correspond with the max showing in the app but will be at the value

you originally had set for max cpu ( same for the other )

in short, the value shown as maximum cpu frequency shown in the app is often not the one you have set originally but still the device will ramp up

to the frequency set. to me that means the cpu tab is not a reliable monitoring tool which is why i use "system monitor app t see realtime frequencies per core. same you can have on the dashboard but only the logs will show the history.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] LewisGauss:
I use the CPU times to monitor the frequency. So you mean the max CPU shown in the app isn't reliable?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
the frequencies show in the log are reliable and the frequencies shown in dashboard are accurate while the frequency show in the cpu tab, the place where you set it, is often shown as far lower than the one you originally set, it has been like that for me for a very long time and it has been discussed as well. so if you set 23xx max and open the cpu tab it may show 15xx instead which does not mean that the 23xx are not properly set, it's a value that is currently or has been recently used. i did never narrow this down because the log clearly shows that the max frequency used is indeed the one set. it's just a cosmetic issue which for me as well is irritating and i don't like it but from my side not worth to discuss here again and again. ( from my side means that nothing is wrong if others bring the topic up :) )

see the screenshots below one shows what it shows on first open, the other what i set it to and the other is a monitoring what shows it would ramp up to max set without issues. of course you can save a log from within the app to see the same.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] The camera gesture being automatically disabled after reboot is back after updating the ex kernel app to v2.52 on kernel version N5-6.12 :(
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I don't really know what's going on. It works fine for me. There are no changes to it in the app or the kernel and it really depends on the ROM setting being available.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] RusherDude:
I dont know but after another time enabling it and rebooting again it does work..

I have no idea either, im on stock last 6.0.1 on a n5. Lets see if it survives now.. But seems that everytime i update the app or the module, the setting is resetted to disabled for some reason (also language is resetted to default instead of my always selected english).

Thanks for your time
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
If it seems related to installing the app, it could be Google's new thing where they save your app settings. I might disable that.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

Thanks for adding Faux Sound again, can't live without it actually but do you or anyone else have an idea on which are the exact settings for the ''Quality profile''. I remember having profiles for Faux Sound, atleast on Synapse, but the settings don't stick on Synapse.

I purchased your kernel manager.

Soo anyone who knows what the exact settings are for the ''Quality profile'', it gives me the best sound with my sennheiser in-ears.

Hope someone can help me out :)

Cheers.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bmccoy11:
I turned up the power (analog) amp gain up as far as it could go and turned the normal gain down, this seems to help the audio quality a lot.

I'm still getting audio glitches/pops on the latest kernel with Viper4Android enabled though, sadly. Looks like there are still some bugs to work out...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] coffeecore:
Thanks for replying, nice cat btw.

I found a picture on Google, this is what the "Quality profile" is configured.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] BelzIgoh:
I also getting the audio glitches again with the latest kernel. Only the previous kernel 6.11 have no audio problem.

This only happens when using headphones.

I increased the minimum cpu, decreased the gains and change to ondemand also problem still exist.

My conclusion is franco sound is more stable than faux sound.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Bob V:
FWIW, flar, v 6.12 works marvelously for me., enabling use of the FauxSound app. Can't imagine why all these negative complaints. We're not dealing with a studio console, for Pete's sake; it's merely one tiny speaker on a phone. Just need to boost the gain somehat - one level for the speaker, another for headphones use - suit to taste and done. As I say, works beautifully on my Nexus 5. Wanted to say how much I appreciate your work.

Bob V
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
The audio glitching has nothing at all to do with franco or faux mods. As I have explained several times, both the franco and faux sound do the exact same thing and do not cause audio glitching. However, both had a few bugs with handling some of the controls.

The audio glitches are a separate issue related to extra processing from Viper4Android that wasn't quite enough load to cause a frequency increase, but just enough to cause the audio to have crackling and popping occasionally. I spent several days working on it and I know exactly what loads can result in audio glitches. If you are running with hotplugging disabled, try with custom hotplugging or mpdecision.

If you don't use V4A, you would never have audio glitching except in rare circumstances where background activities on the phone caused a bottleneck somewhere. And if you did use V4A and had glitches, increasing the minimum frequency to 422 was enough to completely solve the problem. I adjusted the ElementalX governor to cover this situation. It is 100% fixed unless you disable hotplugging completely (meaning all four cores online all the time) and even then glitches would be very rare.

I am writing in great detail here because there is a lot of incorrect information floating around here and I really don't want to hear about audio problems any more. As far as the kernel is concerned they are fixed. Period. End of story.

I strongly suspect it is your headphone connector or wires, or it was caused by some temporary background activities on your phone and was an isolated incident.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Bytecode:
Hello, I've overclocked my CPU to 2496MHz in elemental.conf, yet my max frequency still is 2265. What do I do?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Wait. You're CPU is being throttled by the thermal daemon.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Bytecode:
But the temperatures are low as usual, why would it need to throttle if the temps haven't gotten up yet? Or is it "pre-throttling"?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Seppel007:
With 6.12 my balance of the headphone output is broken. I have like 10% left and 90% right. With every headphone I could find here.

I now flashed 6.10 again and it's back to 50/50.

Dunno why, just want to inform you.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Wipe the app data, uninstall fauxsound if you have it.

It's simply impossible for this to be caused by v6.12.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Then I don't know. It doesn't take take much to throttle this phone.

All I know is that it works.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tarcis:
Can i Third that? (Wake with Volume button)

My power button is driving me crazy.

Please Flar2!

Thank youuuuu
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Bytecode:
It still does not work even after I switched to stock thermal throttling, could it be a bug? I really can't find any way to OC.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
This is not a kernel feature, it's a ROM thing, and I'm pretty sure there are ROMs that have this feature.

Stock thermal throttling is even more restrictive. You chose overclocking frequency in AROMA? It should work, I haven't changed anything about that in ages and I'm pretty sure there are others who successfully overclock (although I don't advise it)..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tarcis:
Hmmm.

Thanks for the quick reply, and forgive me if Im wrong but if swipe to wake and tap to wake is a kernel thing, how can volume to wake not be?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I *could* do it, but it's not the best way to do it. Key press events are best handled by the system, and many ROMs have had this feature for years.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tarcis:
I get it thanks.

I dont want to sound insistent or imperative, sorry if im bothering, but obviously I might not speak for everyone, but elementalx with stock rom rules.

I tried a few apps but they are draining the battery, do you think a kernel patch for this would too? Maybe not that much though.

Anyways, maybe if we can get enough interested people, we could all pitch in $$$ and help you help us. =D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Bytecode:
Actually no, but I have edited elementalx.conf, that ought to do it, but nothing.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] slmklc:
How can I find old versions of EXKernel ? wanna flash 6.10
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tingljjdehua:
Searched a couple of previous posts and a similar problem happens on my phone as well. The headphone volume on both sides doesn't match. I'm using Chroma and EX 6.12. Some people suspect it's the incompatibility of V4A and Faux. Since I'm not that geeky I'll just leave it here. I haven't found any solutions yet.

PS: Right side works just fine but left side is like dead. I tried my headphone on my laptop and both sides work just fine.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I don't understand how this would be possible, but I will investigate.

Are you using the EX app or some other app?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tingljjdehua:
EXKM is the only app I use to control the kernel. I found a temporary solution though, I set all the audio settings in EXKM back to default and it's fine now. I guess that's not the long term solution though
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] RusherDude:
Not sure now, after a reboot it was disabled again.. and then I updated the Ex App, and after a reboot it is enabled again.

The funny part is that the enabled/disabled is the only thing that changes (other than language sometimes), but it's "set on boot" indicator on its right remains always set up like it should, it's never reseted or anything.

This is minor so don't lose your head about this either, but I find it so WEIRD lol.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Google backs up your app data to the cloud once every 24 hours and restores it when you install the app.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] creeve4:
For those experiencing different sound levels for the left and right channel, read this: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7567/smartphone-audio-quality-testing/5

The higher you set the gain (voltage), the more disparity there will be between the left and right channel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] RusherDude:
I have google backup deactivated totally, so I doubt its that :(
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] HiM@L:
Hi...

i am starting to get crackling sounds with viper4Android again with 6.12 viper4android pack i am using got updated today....can u suggest me what settings can i change so that i can experiment with these cracklings?

thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Use mpdecision
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I checked the code and tested with headphones.

I'm 100% sure this is not kernel related, its literally impossible based on the code. Wipe app settings too, although I've never had separate left and right in the app.

There is some other cause not related to what I do.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] rubaboo:
I see. Then, what is the procedure to update SuperSU when the next version comes along? Do we repeat flash system and boot from stock -> root -> EX?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Flash the latest boot.img, flash SuperSU then flash EX.

Battery

Sorry if this has been answered before, I couldn't find it. Is the battery life on this significantly better than stock kernel on marshmallow? Im wondering is it worth installing because I get about 4hrs screen on time anyway. Thanks
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] grep_i:
The kernel does not make your battery life significantly better.

Therefore you must install drainage monitor and look at the apps that are draining the most and try to replace them for other apps that drain less.

Changing kernel alone wouldn't do that for you.

No, what you're seeing is the wake gestures being disabled by the wake timeout.

Disable the wake-timeout if you want, but it's harmless.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
If it's not that, then it's not kernel related.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nathanchance:
What ROM are you on? It sounds like an ambient display implementation, check the Settings > Display section to see if you see that option (usually where it is toggleable).

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] grep_i:
OK if you say so you are the developer so i guess you know better, from my experience it is not significant but I really like the extra functions and the flexibility of the kernel and the beautiful installer.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] coffeecore:
You will notice it a bit.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vidumec:
is there a way to edit thermal throttling parameters? My nexus 5 starts throttling at 70C down to 1900mhz, id like to raise the temperature limit or cpu frequency limit a bit, or maybe split throttling into multiple steps, like 70C - 2300mhz, 80C - 1900mhz, 85C - 1200mhz. I saw RACER kernel has such options but its full of bugs, half things outright don't work. I also found the elementalx thermal engine conf file but i cant understand its contents.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] autry7:
For those of you experiencing the sound crackling when using Viper I believe I have found a fix. The issue I believe is the elementalx governor being a bit too conservative. I switched to ondemand and the issue went away. Comparing the CPU frequencies in the elementalx app and playing music the elementalx governor would constantly try to scale down to 652 MHz on a single core, stutter, ramp up for a bit, then back down and stutter. Ondemand uses a single core at 2265MHz. I'm sure there are battery life implications to using ondemand but it stopped the stuttering. Of course YMMV
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
In my testing, 652 was sufficient to handle V4A, though maybe not if you have many effects enabled.

Make sure you leave mpdecision enabled. I had no issue ever with V4A when mpdecision was enabled. The problem was more apparent with custom hotplugging and even worse with not hotplugging (four online).
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] autry7:
Yeah the issue didn't appear until I started using more effects. When using the effects in the beginners UI in viper I had no problems but using the advanced one and then turning on those started it. And that is with mpdecision active.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Dvdxploitr:
I watched that video and overclocked is only getting 6000 on quadrant? that's kinda disappointing....it's got a Snapdragon 800...it should be getting around 9000...i have an Amazon Fire Phone that is stock clock speed and getting 9600 on quadrant.....I thought this phone was supposed to be on par or a little faster....
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Benchmarks are a terrible way to measure phone performance as there is a ton of factors that go into them that are not consistent (phone temperature, battery level, background processes etc). Real world performance is what matters and I have not seen many if any that complain about that with this kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
This is still one of the fastest phones you can get.

Benchmarks are very inconsistent due to thermal throttling.

I also did not optimize the governor for benchmarks.

And quadrant is antique software.

Thanks for this kernel, the battery and performance is so good!
