Just to clear this chrome freeze once for all.

First of all don't confuse freeze with lagging. Chrome and Chrome Beta both freeze and with freeze i mean for 4 and more seconds. The only know solution to that is to pull down the notification screen, that will bring out chrome from freeze state.

Second. It is not happening in stock kernel. (stock kernel i mean kernel build from aosp).

Third: Its not related to any add-blocking app(i don't use any) neither to any new type of adds provided by google as someone supposed lately (mine did freeze under chrome://flags too)

Mine elementalX settings were default except 750 under volt.

if there is any of you that is not getting this just post the elementalX config.

PS. (perhaps its the under volt the solution to this enigma)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JonesL:
Well what I'll do later is submit this a bug report to Google, The settings I've used for this kernel have always been the same, No idea what LMT is, I don't use PIE controls.

The sites that seem worse for a freeze are XDA forums (here), Steam store/community and Ebay (UK)

I'll link later to the bug report when I get back home.

Undervolting would cause freezes in all applications as the CPU would be unstable.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sk3201:
I have exact same behaviour with Opera Browser. Currently switched to on demand governor. Just testing.....

Edit: also switched to cfq/128 to be more on stock settings. No undervolting, no ad blocker.

While freezing you can also wait, pulling down status bar will immediately stopp freeze state.

Tried already to catch it with logcat, but couldnt see anything bad. But honestly i do not have any experience in reading logcat.

Just wondering,

Hello Flar2, I have been using Elementalx for almost 5 months now with various roms such as Euphoria OS, RR, Cataclysm, etc. I have even paid for your app, which IMO is one of the best apps(except for the removal).

Recently I have tried CM 12.1 Hammerheadcaf nightly, only because of the promise of better performance and I was wondering if you were planning to come out with a CAF compatible kernel.

Thank you again for your had work,

P.S any update on the play store removal?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JonesL:
Posted this in another thread, but

Maybe this is the reason? https://plus.google.com/+ArtemRussak...ts/MtcZGJprWje

Since the dev hasn't touched the kernel which was working fine a few months ago, but no longer is, looks like Google is to blame.

Suggestion to increase battery life.

Helo. This kernel is awesome, I'be been using it for the past year now and I'm never going back.

However I want to improve the battery life of my Nexus 5, without compromising stability, and I read about undervolting and underclocking.

What parameters should I set to achieve a longer battery life, apart from stock? Thanks.

I'm on Cataclysm rom Apr-14 stable (Android 5.1).

A question on Elementalx 3.0

Hi I was just wondering if someone could tell me the differences between the build 2.XX and 3.XX. I have no kernel building experience.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
where do you see 3.XX ? _ it's all in the OP by the way:

0.XX = 4.4.2

1.XX = 4.4.3 / 4.4.4

2.10 = 5.0.1 / 5.0.2

2.11 = 5.1.0 / 5.1.1

3.XX is not out or better it was for a few hours and was pulled
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] theesotericone:
It's a branch on Flar2's github. So if someone wants to build it they can. Once they figure out what toolchain flar2 uses. Just because something get's pulled doesn't mean people won't still play with it. They just shouldn't expect any support from flar2 if things go south. :cool:

Regarding the Chrome bug: I'm on stock Android with ElX. I've tried default settings when flashing the kernel and I also did a lot of tweaking to get rid of the Chrome bug. None seem to work. Today i installed Chrome Dev and I see no stuttering or freezing of the browser. I now believe it might be Chrome what's causing the issue. Can anyone confirm?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] shr33kant:
You can just do what I did to fix the chrome bug:

Step 1: install Dolphin Browser for Android.

Step 2: install Dolphin Connect Chrome Browser extension.

Step 3: log into both of the above with your google account.

Step 4: uninstall Chrome Browser for Android.

Hey flar2, I know I'm too late to report chrome freeze bug. I did some testing and was able to reproduce it. But freeze occurs randomly. If I get a freeze on one site, it won't occur next time I visit that site.

So I was searching android police in google search and the freeze occurred, swiped down status bar and freeze was gone. Here is log which I captured moment after freeze occurred and came back to normal. Hope this helps u. And yeah, never got freeze with stock or code blue.

Use titanium backup to uninstall Chrome completely then restart the phone.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Blueblob:
Does Titanium uninstall apps in a different way than a regular uninstall ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] MrKaon:
If you are using stock rom then Chrome is a system app and with regular uninstall cannot be removed.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mixtapes08:
That doesn't make any sense... I always remove google chrome myself when flashing roms. And install it as user app. So your saying that if I uninstall my chrome which is a user app then install chrome dev, I won't be having any screen freezes..?

I am using droidkang. I flashed elementalx v18. After a couple of rebkots the twrp asked for a password and data won't mount. But my OS was completely fine.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] skulldreamz:
J.case has a article talking about this exact issue. What happens is if you unlock your bootloader and flash a recovery right after unlocking the data partition gets corrupted. Now there is a easy fix for this. After unlocking your bootloader DO NOT FLASH A RECOVERY BUT BOOT 1 TIME INTO YOUR OS SO THE BLOCK DATA CAN GET PROPERLY INITIALIZED. Then not back into fastboot and flash your recovery. I'm going to upload the article now...

Could someone please tell me how to upload stuff to xda using mobile or do I have to be using my PC?

It's weird that my phone just show eraseing in bootloader screen.Never go into recovery.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Syk69:
Yes that happens when you unlock and don't boot into system. But what we were talking about was different. I unlocked a long time ago and booted into system the correct way back when i first got my phone. What i explained was flashing elemental on a cm based ROM at least the 2 that i mentioned data partition gets corrupted from some incompatibility with them. Flashing on purity its fine, on cataclysm its fine as well and slimrom too.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] suneet mehta:
My bootloader was unlocked the day I bought my phone that is 4th dec. Why would the data partition get corrupt now. I've been running droidkang ever since i unlocked and rooted.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] skulldreamz:
To fix that after you boot into system do a factory reset. Not a factory reset in custom recovery but actually in the os. Make sure you are %100 stock when you do the factory reset. Flashing a custom recovery formats the recovery partition and when you do a factory rest in the os, your phones partition is confused by the emmc
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Syk69:
It has nothing to do with what you are experiencing. What he is talking about is different. That's when you first unlock your boot loader and some people don't boot into system and immediately flash custom recovery.

There is definetly something incompatible with some cm based ROMs. As long as the ROM is aosp based you should be fine.

---------- Post added at 10:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 AM ----------

Yes that was done. I did the correct steps when i first got my phone back long time ago. Like i said if i flash aosp based ROM everything is fine.

That's because franco has the same problem. And it has to be kernel related as it doesn't happen on stock or code blue or i don't think hells kernel has had the problem either. But like flar said, why it happens is a mystery as it seems app specific

What's the difference between elementalx governor and conservative governor?

Which one has the best battery life?

Thank you
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] LiamAtkins90:
Elemental X governor is most like the on demand governor as it only ramps the CPU up when in use.. But Elemental X governor does this more aggressively and is better then on demand in my opinion. :)

I've not had a freeze on my N5, N6, or N7 all with ElX and all with Chrome. From a clean install and using the Aroma ElX option on both my N5 and N6 I set CPU at 1.9 GHz, use FIOPS with 512 readahead, disable all the gesture stuffs and pretty much leave everything else alone. That's been my setup for both for quite awhile now though and never had a freeze, whether using adaway or not...if that helps anybody :)

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Migamix:
maybe its been covered, maybe not, but....

I had to figure out why my phone battery was fading so fast when idle.

turns out it was the gboost option. I've had it off for a couple of weeks to be sure.. and yes. there is big time battery drain with it on...

this is all been during the latest version, and since it has been a while since its had a change it I can be sure this was at least my issue... I'm going to plug it into my netbook and see if I can get a logcat of the part causing problems.

in short. if your battery has been crap for a while.. turn off gboost. reply if it helps you too.

edit : bogrime to big time ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
trying to be extra-smart and asking for ETSs that way is not smart at all but very transparent. further this is a kernel and not a rom. to produce updates for the sake of updates and for the sake that the bored have something to flash has never been the philosophy behind this kernel. it works thus no update needed and when the dev decides to provide one it's based on his sole decision to do so and when and why. if you want something to do you can read the linked xda-thread in my signature LOL
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sjknight413:

Said it before and I'll say it again. Charge whatever you want for it too. You put up with a lot from google and here in the threads about it. Most importantly it sounds like you've been doing alot of work to make it something really special....I'll pay for two more licenses...my opinion :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
This is a spurious correlation. Gboost has no effect at all while idle. It could impact battery while the screen is on, but definitely not while it's off.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jaibar:
Well, I'm facing heavy battery drain while screen is *on* - not playing games or using some gps app- just texting, whatsapp and emailing.

It puzzled me a lot, as the phone sleeping habit is great and while screen was off battery drain is negligible.

Next, if I'm turning battery saving mode then I get normal drain like I used to have (while screen on, of course)- or even better.

So, I kinda figured something is causing heavy drain while I'm just having the screen on, but couldn't figure or what. Thought maybe I'm on an a area with low reception or something like that.

Tried lowering max freq, which helps a lot, but also lags with several apps.

Now I'll try the solution suggested above (which makes sense to me, just as you suggested it affects only screen on) and see if it reduced screen on drain.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] MrKaon:
What exactly is gboost?

The reason I'm asking is disabling it gives me even more battery life.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JonesL:
Graphics Boost, I think
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Migamix:
and this is why I asked others to try it and why o want to get a log of it. it should not matter, but with identical usage of my phone, the massive drain while idle stop d when I tured it off.. I hate to say there may be a bug in the that part.. but losing 1% every 10 min idle was annoying.. now I can go a whole day without plugging in if my usage is moderate and still have 75% battery like I had last night
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] till22:
Going to try this too, send me a PM tomorrow and I'll tell you if I noted anything.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
There is no bug. I always leave gboost enabled and have a very consistent 0.4% per hour idle drain (with s2w on 30 minute timeout). It really has no effect on idle drain.

Theere is really nothing that the kernel does to cause idle drain (Except s2w on this device). Idle drain is caused by processes keeping the phone from deep sleep.
