So...does EX 2.04 fix all the problems that people have been having with L? The battery drain, memory leaks, etc?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] walpurgisnacht30:
I believe those issues are coming from the OS itself not the kernel.

But I'm not sure, since I'm using this kernel because I need its features.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] daihard:
I agree with [MENTION=5728419]xnormskix[/MENTION]. FWIW, I had no battery drain or memory leak issue with the stock Lollipop before switching to Cataclysm and ElementalX. The battery life was a little worse, but flashing the KitKat radio fixed it for me.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Atok_fr:
I have some memory leaks with 2.04 too.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] snappycg1996:
Does anyone truly have experience and can say this helps battery? I've heard kernel barely helps battery life. I get maybe 3 hours (usually 2hr 50min) SOT now on stock Lollipop. Airplane mode all day, WiFi only.

If I flash this will this help any at all? Or is it true kernels don't help? If it did help you, did you tweak anything? Undervolt?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jayplusone:
Try it for yourself. Kernels aren't going to help if you have everything turned on or game constantly. I get anywhere from 3.5 to 4.5 hours SOT on EX on stock settings. Your mileage will vary.

Noob Question

Can I just flash this over CF-Autoroot or do I still need to revert back to stock kernel first?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dark ryder:
I rooted my lollipop using CF-Autoroot, then I flashed CWM recovery using which I flashed this kernel. Did not face any problems till now.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fkloznica:
It is system related, a known android 5.0 bug. Google has pushed beta software. You must restart your phone every 48h in order to have multi tasking on it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] happiness4u:
Thanks [MENTION=4424739]dark ryder[/MENTION]! :) Gonna flash this now. :)

I recently installed this kernel on slimLP rom. Installation went fine, but after booting, most of the values didn't apply as per my selection. Color profiles are stock, sweep2sleep, read ahead, i/o schedulers didn't change to my values. That was a fresh install btw. Did i do something wrong?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Scartozzi:
is it possible to enable wake gestures only while on charge?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Elluel:
You can probably do that with Tasker.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sherlock5545:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION], as I recall, you once said it wasn't really possible to have dt2w activated by the charger on the Nexus 5, right? Instead, would you be able to create a shortcut or an intent in the Elemental X App that can be used to activate it through apps like Tasker? Wouldn't that work?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jacknicholson:
You can just have Tasker run a shell command, eg.

echo 2 > /sys/android_touch/doubletap2wake

to enable (echo 0 to disable). Use root.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
It should be possible now to do this with tasker, because since then, I've changed the wake functions to flash the screen on and off for proper enabling/disabling of the wake functions. No intents needed, just echo into the sysfs nodes for s2w/dt2w as described above.

I'm still reluctant to have this as a kernel option because whether the screen turns on or off on plugging the charger is a userspace option and there could be a lot of conflicts making the screen flicker on and off unpredictably depending on ROM or settings.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dakore:
I'm not 100% sure, but I think today my phone call droped when powersave mode enabled. And it was second time it happened. Unfortunately, both times I had marathon phone calls so no logs and my battery is now on 40% so I could reproduce this tomorrow. Meantime, if anybody wants to test...

my setings are: eX 1.13, SlimKat 8.18, auto powersave mode ON, max powersave cpu 960 MHz, slight UV, deadline, stock GPU, stock CPU, stock sound, no gestures.

This happened when battery reached 15% while in call and powersave mode kicked in.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] yanleites:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION], Can you make dt2w area smaller, so it will use less battery ?

It's decided by your rom, not the kernel

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] yanleites:
I think you are wrong, because on other kernels I can disable the charging led and the low battery led.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] galakanokis:
Meant to quote...

I think you're wrong. I'm in ElementalX and I can disable battery LED no problem. Controls need to be in the ROM.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] yanleites:
I use stock.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] galakanokis:
Yeah, no ROM controls in Stock. Might be away to echo some sort of command to disable the LED while charging (I personally hate the LED charge light) but I have no idea what it would be. Maybe trickster has a setting, no idea really.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] yanleites:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION], I can disable charge led in "trickster mod", can you make it in ElementalX app please ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] 850T5m:
It's a ROM option... I'm using ElementalX and can disable it in the ROM settings. Using N5X Rom

Edit: nvm you want to disable on stock rom lol
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] yanleites:
Its possible with trisker mod, and I used Hyper kernel - it was possible there too, so... it's a kernel thing !
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] crian:
Hybrid has the battery charging led enabled by default. But if you want settings it's up to your rom to do that.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] yanleites:
In "synapse" app I can change enable/disable charging led. The Rom stays stock.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jayplusone:
Just because synapse or trickster allows you to do it doesn't mean it's a kernel thing.

less battery live, hot phone

Hey Flar,

Might just be my phone, but I've gone back and forth between 2.0.4 and the previous build.

I'm running Bigixie's pure stock (only rooted and that's about it) 5.0.0 ROM with minimal apps.

I use your kernel app and have tried stock settings as well as underclocking CPU/GPU, extra cool settings and voltage undervolting. Phone is running very hot and battery life has been consistently poor. Running 2.0.3 gives me an extra 90 minutes screen time. Not sure what could be causing this but thought I'd provide user feedback.

Thanks for everything.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Isley_:
Awesome!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Someone else was working on this a few months ago. I believe this should be implemented in an app. It would be very easy and more secure to make an app that interfaced with the wake gesture functionality I've already implemented.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Hey fellows,

I just installed this kernel yesterday and I am overall impressed by the signal and ui performance! Thanks for the kernel! Great work!

I just need an advise. Iam on cataclysm now since a week. I always use airplane mode during the night and on stock kernel it just takes me 1% for around 8h. With this kernel it takes me around 8%. Can anybody explain me why? Oder how I can avoid it?!? I provided some screenshots. I would appreciate any idea to solve it.

By the way i'm on the preselected settings for this kernel. No s2w or dt2w!

Thank you in advance ☺

Is this applicable to Android?

"In many situations, turning off synchronous_commit for noncritical transactions can provide much of the potential performance benefit of turning off fsync, without the attendant risks of data corruption."

from

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/runtime-config-wal.html

I know there is Disable fsync tweak in ElementalX,

I am experimenting with tweaking the kernel's Aroma settings to optimize audio and video streaming because of a weird buffering distortion some users are reporting in Lollipop.

I came across this when I looked up what fsync was doing.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] rfkw:
Does kernel mess with HDR mode in Google Camera?

I noticed that HDR mode is missing recently. Tried reinstalling Google Camera and also installing an older version from apkmirror.

IIRC, it was there before I flashed 2.04.

Any ideas?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Zahih:
Hi [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION], Just flashed v2.04, already activated DT2W & S2W, but still cannot wake when I double tap or sweep, just vibrate without wake. I'm on terminus Rom btw.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
You have wake gestures enabled, please make sure wake gestures is set to 0 in /etc/elementalx.conf (it requires an xposed module to work, which we don't have on lollipop)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
No, not tweakable in the kernel. I did have asynchronous fsync from HTC in an earlier version, I might experiment with it again.

I don't mess with the camera at all.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Co.Tibi:
I bought the app a couple of days ago and found that I can't change frequencies unless I reboot first. The same goes for the sound settings. I previously had FauxClock installed but got rid of it right after downloading your app ( [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] ). I also deleted the folders it created. Does anyone know how I can fix the issues with changing frequencies? I'm on 2.03 by the way. Never had time to update to 2.04.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
The app will only show frequencies up to the highest you select in aroma during installation. Select the highest frequency you will want to use in aroma and then change frequencies in the app if you want a lower frequency. But my advice, as always, is to leave frequencies alone.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Globespy:
I'll keep looking for that. I have system panel installed such is pretty good for showing wasteful apps and processes. System processes are absolutely higher but that's likely a fix 5.0.1 will bring.

Cheers.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Co.Tibi:
I did select 2.496GHz in aroma and I can see in the drop down list the frequency but selecting it does nothing. It remains set on default.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
If you set it to 2.496 in aroma, that should be the default. Did you try rebooting? Thermal throttling could also be at play.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Co.Tibi:
Thermal throttling is out of question and as I said, after reboot I can rise the frequency up to 2.496. After a while though when entering the app again the frequency is set back to default. The only thing I can think of that happened on each occasion is that in between setting the frequency to the desired one and returning to the app to change it again I was turning on and off the battery saver in android (I often do that when I'm at work to save battery).
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
That could be it, powersave saves the max frequency at the time you enable it and restores that same frequency when you disable it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Co.Tibi:
Is that something you can "fix"? The built in battery saver in Android is really powerful but I still want to go back to a decent frequency afterwards. Also I have a suggestion for a " pocket/battery saver" mode. Can you create an option in your app that would activate battery saver when you put the phone in the pocket based on the proximity sensor. I think it makes a lot of sense.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Elluel:
Is there much point in that since if you don't have a wakelock active, your phone would be in sleep anyways?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mvha:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] snappycg1996:
I hope I don't make anyone mad here, but I'm not too smart coming to kernels. Is there an app to tweak ElementalX settings? Without editing any files with root? When I try it shows it either saves or fails and it never saves. So is there an app I can download to allow me to tweak stuff? Or should I just reflash it to change stuff? There's an app called Kernel Tweaker and I was gonna see if maybe that would work?

No, it should be the same as without s2w and dt2w.

No. I would suggest reinstalling your ROM and wiping your caches and see if that helps.

None, I use adb shell :D

The kernel should be fully configured by the installer. But a lot of people use TricksterMod. Just be careful.

Does s2w, dt2w cause a little more idle drain?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
On this device, they cause a lot more drain. Often an extra 2 or 3% per hour.

No fix is in sight, but I added an option to temporarily disable the screen wake functions by turning off the screen with the power button.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] leoaudio13:
Yup that's what I did with proper permissions and reboot. Let see how we go
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
No, I don't think it makes much difference. Either way, the device has to do work, which uses power. You can either raise the frequency and do it quick (and enjoy a smooth ui) or use lower frequencies, take longer to do things and have lag.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Sayan1987:
I noticed that with elementalX governor also if i play heavy games, the device spend most of the time at 1.2 freq, instead max 2.2 (wich is indeed set as max).

Is it correct, you did it for saving battery life?

No lags at all, just asking..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cc16177:
I believe it sits at 1.2 unless a certain load is sustained for a certain period of time and then it goes to the max and slowly drifts back to 1.2
