I'm experiencing a strange problem. I set the power saving mode with a CPU clock speed of 960MHz, but the CPU keeps running at higher speeds, reaching peak of 1267MHz.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Isley_:
That's normal, is touch boost I think, that only happens when you touch the screen, when you don't touch the screen it will be back. Is in the OP
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sherlock5545:
I thought so too, but it doesn't only happen while touching the screen. If I leave the phone idle and observe, the CPU goes down to 300MHz than ramps up to 1267MHz, as if were actually locked at that frequency, and not 960MHz.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] yanner2012:
V2.05 is very smooth on Euphoria.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Isley_:
AOSP version?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sherlock5545:
Euphoria is AOSP based only AFAIK, although it incorporates features from CM.

Don't be paranoid. Dirty flash is the BEST way to solve any problems that you might create inadvertently caused by your stubborn refusal to do it.

OK !

After F*****G brain to all of you, I flashed dirty rom.... and it worked !

Thank you again !

If I want to install Elementax on Stock Rom, what should I do? Root is for sure required but what about busybox? I plan to but and use elementax app.

Can anyone share experiences ? Will Elementax improve battery life on stock ? What about smoothness?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] hooliganx:
this whole thread is about it [emoji16]

busybox is needed (afayk).

battery is better. I have 2 hammerheads and 1 with ElementalX. smooth and battery friendly for sure.

it's a great kernel. no doubt.

just flash and be happy

My experience is great on stock with 2.05 kernel and elementalx app is one of the best! So don't hesitate just go for it...U don't need busybox just for installing kernel but if U want to change some default settings in kernel, u will need it.:good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kara mustafa:
So now guys, I hate installing busybox using app from google play, is there a smarter way to do that ? eg. zip film or something.

I found this.

Opinions?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ramjet73:
If you use TricksterMod it will offer to install BusyBox on Rails by the same developer if a compatible version of BusyBox is not already installed and that option is very quick. Unfortunately, some apps really want the Stericson BusyBox, so if you are using one of those you might have problems with another version.

Since BusyBox is a single binary with a bunch of symlinks for individual commands it's possible to build it into a ROM and some developers do that. But if the symlinks for some commands are missing that can cause problems too.

In my experience the safest way to handle BusyBox is to download the Stericson installer (I use the Pro version) and use it to install the latest version even if the ROM already includes a version of BusyBox.

Sorry, but there are no shortcuts that I know about.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kara mustafa:
I found that http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1929852 and there you can find a zip from Stericson :) but I will try to install bionic one.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ramjet73:
That flashable zip file was last updated in January of 2014 and the current version of the Stericson BusyBox is 1.23.0.

As I said previously, the safest method is to use the current installer, and have it update the binary and symlinks. But it doesn't have to be installed from the Play Store since you can use a backup utility like TiBu to restore it when needed.

Will there come a extra Version for Cyanogenmod (such as for Cyanogenmod 4.4)

You can download the app, install busybox then uninstall the app. Or is your issue with having to use an app at all?

Do you, or anyone, undervolt and notice a difference in SOT/total time on? My average is 4h10m SOT and 1d17h total. What is "doing it right" in this case? Should I undervolt the whole "CPU voltage" table in the kernel app? I'm kind of hoping to save me this hassle: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/general/guide-fastest-to-properly-undervolt-cpu-t2072087
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Elluel:
Undervolting is negligible towards battery life. The only real benefit is slightly less heat.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] theesotericone:
I UV by -50 across the range. I do go through stress testing my devices when I first get them. It's worth it. Last thing you want is to UV to low and set those at boot. It's easy enough to recover from but it's still a PIA. [MENTION=5666997]Lethargy[/MENTION] pretty much nails my reason for it. To keep the CPU temp lower. I doubt you'll notice much, if any, difference in SOT.:cool:

I use Euphoria Rom 20150108 and ElementalX 2.05. Sweep left or right to sleep doesn't work at all. ElementalX 2.05 was flashed twice. That didn't help.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Theshawty:
edit.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vickyjusme:
Under the display setting the rom has touch control. I do think it manages the sweep to sleep etc setting. I use the elementalx app and I did not one the touch control in the setting at all after flashing the rom. Maybe this helps.

That solved the case. Thank you!

Does this work on CM12? and wich i have to use for cm12? thanks in advance :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sherlock5545:
It may work, but may stop working very soon. Try flashing it. If it boots up and all seems fine, you are lucky. If it doesn't boot, dirty flash the ROM again.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ianigm:
Works well on 11th nightly.:good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I had a look at this. It's not supposed to flash on and off when you echo 1 or 2. This is only for 0, so that dt2w can be silently disabled to save power. Echoing 1 or 2 will enable dt2w the next time the screen goes off.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Elluel:
Hm. Makes it a little more annoying when trying to both enable and disable with specific actions while the screen is off, I guess. Oh well.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I'll see if I can do it without complicating things.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Elluel:
Does wake timeout immediately set it back to 1 or 2 after flashing the panel on and off?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
The wake timeout doesn't change the dt2w or s2w setting, it just turns off the touchscreen so it can't detect touches.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION], when I flash the Aroma zip, doesn't it replace all the previous settings? I recently used it to set some default settings and then used the app to modify some of them. Yesterday, after a custom ROM update, I flashed the express version and realised all my settings from weeks ago, including an overclock, are still there. If possible, I'd like to start from scratch again, what do I need to delete? Dirty flashing the ROM doesn't seem to work as when I flash the express zip, it picks up the settings from a few weeks ago, not the most recent Aroma install.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gverma1:
ElementalX 2.03 currently best for me

Hi. If you guys recall, I had downgraded to 2.04 as that was giving me better battery life than 2.05. Now I have downgraded further to 2.03 as there is a peculiar problem I am facing in 2.04 - the camera refuses to load up at times and would work only after a reboot.

My setup = Stock Google LRX22C 5.0.1, Rooted latest SuperSU, Stericsson Busybox, Twrp 2.8.3.0 and ElementalX 2.03 (installed with default settings in Aroma). As I said, this could be only with me.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] till22:
Did you have that problem in 2.05 too? If you did, you should probably provide some logs. If not, try dirty flashing your ROM again and flash the kernel. I suppose this is something only you suffer, though. I never had any issues at all.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
the approximate impact of the kernel on battery life is around 15% at max ( except in case of real bugs ) and since almost no kernel is on one of the edges out of the box the real-life impact might be between 5-10% at max and almost never to the bad side with custom kernels because battery life is one of the main reasons why they are used and thus most kernels are optimized for a good balance between battery life and peformance.

your problem, and i'm doing this rarely so unforgiving, is a userspace problem and not a kernel problem, while certain user space problems might become better visible with one kernel setup than with another, which after all makes it a combo thing but with it's roots in your setup most probably.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Holer Togni:
Express pulls the config from "/sdcard/.elementalx.backup" iirc, so you need to delete that, too.

Can someone kind enough give me default stock settings of elementalx governor...

Screenshot would do as well...want all the values of the parameters by default :)

Thanx a lot
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
perhaps i don't get it but if you untick "set on boot" and reboot you will be on stock settings in most cases. i would be surprised if governor, other than selecting one, was tweakable in aroma?

however, just in case that i got you wrong and for your convenience i added screenshots of governor options as per your request :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vampire36:
Thanx a ton...actually I have a n4...just trying to tweak the elementalx gov for N4...so wanted the default settings :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] morfei1:
Just type "nexus 5 elementalx" in Google, then select the 6-th result - "nexus5.wonderhowto" . It's a very useful how-to install elementalX for Nexus 5, I personaly used it to install the elementalx kernel to my phone. ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
I have an N5, N6, and N7 all with ElX kernel. I just go to the op for all three, hit the download link to get the zip, reboot to recovery, flash and select my options ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gverma1:
Like I said, maybe its my setup coz I have never faced ANY problem whatsoever with ElX since Kitkat days. FYI, I had done a mint-fresh install of official stock Lollipop with all the wipes. I normally use stock settings of ElX kernel and am happy for it. Its just in 2.05 I noticed lesser battery compared to previous versions of ElX. I downgraded to 2.04 but I faced camera-not-opening issues which I had faced earlier also on 2.04. This camera problem is not there in 2.03 and 2.05 though. Anyway, will try a dirty flash of system.img this weekend when I have time. Till then, am on 2.03 with noticeably better battery than 2.05 and no camera issues.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
Have you tried the Google camera app from the play store? I highly doubt it's anything to do with kernel and more than likely it was your wiping in between switching kernel versions that fixed it. If everything works OK with the Goog camera app, I would try backing up the AOSP camera app with TiBu, clear data from it, fc it, then uninstall and then restore from tibu and make it a system app. I'd be really surprised if that didn't work [emoji106]

Any news on the WP surviving screen off/on as mentioned by [MENTION=4259467]fireproofrev[/MENTION] on post #1271?

I find the colors great with WP 24 too but there is no way to get it stick to 24 with the slightly cooler color option.

Anyway, kernel is awesome. :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Snuffalofagus:
If you guys need an app to control settings like dt2w, s2w, etc; use Kernel Tweaker. In the Play store, pretty new, and its free.

Sorry if this is considered OT.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] farru503:
I just downloaded the app let's see what happens
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] epithetic:
Giving the elementalX governor a try with .18; have been hesitant to try it before because performance/smoothness are my main concern and battery was already good with ondemand.

I've noticed that while overall the experience is identical and CPU frequencies used seem a lot more efficient, the UI is not 100% smooth sometimes, mainly when opening or closing the app drawer (zoom in/zoom out animation) or scrolling pages in the app drawer. At times it will be perfectly fine but at others it seems to start dropping some frames. It's a slight effect (and probably still smoother than some other android experiences out of the box) but noticeable compared to how fluid it normally is.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tipper554:
Big lags in the ui with this kernel. Absolutely love the colours but have to go back to franco because of the lag!.

Particularly in the app draw! Much false app selection when trying to scroll.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Syk69:
Lol wow I have no lag at all. Did you use stock ramdisk in the installer? or if you're using a cm based ROM did you dirty flash ROM first and then choose use current ramdisk?

---------- Post added at 01:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 PM ----------

You can try lowering the sampling rate to 20000 for more responsive fluid ui.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tusshar.gaba:
can u please tell me some settings which would improve the ui and the phone ..in trickster mod ??? like in governor control what settings should i use ?? sampling rate set to 20000 and i can see the results ..it became more responsive now ..but when i lock min frequency to 30000 in cpu frequency control ..it keeps on getting undone whenever i return to the app to see it ..pleaase any suggestions on this ??
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Syk69:
Well the whole point of Elemental governor is to have as smooth as possible ui while having better battery for screen on usage. I can give you some other tweaks but little by little it will start affecting battery and then ruins the whole point of the elemental governor. For ultimate smoothness you can always choose ondemand governor instead. It will give you excellent performance and smoothness but at the cost of battery while screen on usage.

But if you still want to try. You can set things like down_differential higher from stock value 3. That variable determines how long the governor will stay at the given frequency. So it will keep the CPU from scaling down as fast. Also, sampling_down_factor you can set higher from stock value of 1. This improves performance by reducing overhead of load evaluation (which is what sampling_rate does) and helping the cpu stay at max speed when the system is really busy. Instead of going up and down in speed when there is high load.

edit: Also don't turn frequency lock on in trickster, it breaks elemental governor where it keeps core0 at 300 on touch boost instead of going to 1267. Also don't worry what trickster says as min frequency, it will correctly scale down to 300 as minimum.

I'm on stock ROM and kernel right now, inorder to install this kernel i just flash the zip,right?

To go back to stock, just flashing the boot.img is enough? Or dirty flash the ROM?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
Yep just flash the zip which will take you into the aroma setup where you can select all your options. Not too sure about switching away from it, haven't done it [emoji16]

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Sigray:
Still the best kernel, i hope the developing continued
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kenkiller:
I've noticed that camera issues are rarely kernel related.

However using apps/functions that utilize the flashlight frequently causes camera not working errors. Even the stock torch function on Lollipop causes that at times.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jajell:
For some reason I can't seem to update to the newest kernel. I have everything installed, the app is updated, and the update is downloaded but it won't install.

I am on kernel 3.4.0-g88fbc66 and have tried installing 3.4.0-ElementalX-N5-2.05 a few times and it seems to do nothing. I go into stock recovery mode but nothing gets installed once everything reboots.

Any ideas?

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] #sharath:
I have bought the elementalx app today. It needs internet to check for license everytime i open the app. That's a bummer. :(
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jaibar:
Yep, indeed. I respect very much the Dev, and I understand that his app is circulated in black market- but still, sometimes there is no internet connection. For example on train, long flights, or one is traveling abroad and had limited web and wants to keep minimal usage, using firewall etc. etc. I'd assume there must be some golden path where license can be checked less frequently...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
The app does not need an internet connection every time. I can't divulge when it checks, but I can say that it barely ever checks. Tip: don't use titanium backup, always install from the play store.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] has said more than a few times that he's the set it and forget it type of guy. I understand that you want to be able to tweak the settings in the app to see what works best for your usage case, signal strength, etc. etc. I do the same. :) But I don't know about you guys, for myself when I'm going to do a serious testing of some change that I've made in the app, after I make the change I'll let it stay for a day or two anyways to see how it affects performance & battery. The most I ever go into the app is after a ROM update, in which case I make sure I have really good internet connection anyways. Sooo, guess what I'm trying to say is I'd just use common sense. If you're going to travel/be in an area with low internet connectivity for awhile, I wouldn't play with the settings too much. I travel a lot overseas, it's kind of a passion of me and my wife. Before a trip, I'd put the settings back to where I know they have worked best before I left and pick up experimenting when I got back home. I don't think it's unreasonable that flar's app asks for the licence every now and then, it IS his work and he's constantly updating it to make sure it works best for each device. Longer post but, I think it makes sense. He works to put out a great kernel tweaking app (the best out of all I've tried IMO) and we should just appreciate the work that he has done and work with the one thing that his app asks for every now and then...my opinion [emoji16]
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
If you change Roms all the time the app is going to do the license check. Once you settle, it basically never checks the license.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] #sharath:
Yeah. It would be great if there was another way. May be check only after reboot, not everytime when opening the app.
