[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Swveral ROMs change the behaviour of the CPU and makes EX not work properly. I try to fix it with the installer but it hasn't worked for several months now and there's not much I can do.

It's a bad situation because people install EX and then go around saying say it's laggy and not smooth.

You will have to use the custom hotplugging option. That not my preferred way, but it's the only way it will work.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cop1976:
Actually I always used custom hotplugging, since you implemented this, but on marshmallow I have only two cores online with second core at 2265 all the time.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cgibbons51:
I'm using chroma that im facing this problem so same rom as you

I've been using this kernel for a bit now and would never blame the fault to kernel it self.

Its a great kernel
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I tested chroma back in the summer and it was completely wonky with this kernel. There's nothing I can do if the dev chooses to do things differently.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jbowwow02:

yes

Just wanna check in and say 21 is working like a champ. No issues at all. Solid battery and great performance. Oh and Happy New years guys!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] WarRaven:
Just waiting for my N5 to arrive,

This is first thing going on after unlocking and rooting.

Flars kernels have always been top drawer for me.

One would be on my N4 if he made it too, like my OneX an N7/13.

Can't wait to rock it.

I saw this issue on .19 & .20 - always booted directly into TWRP instead of using the manager app. It's fixed in .21 which is smoking! HAPPY NEW YEAR to all.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] Any way you could default the vibration intensity to 100/max? Or make it an option in aroma?

The hardware for that is so weak, maxing it out to 100 is the only way to feel it.

Thanks in advance and thanks for continuing to make by far MY favorite kernel!!!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I've been considering this, will probably do it.

You don't have to wipe dalvik or cache, but if you have any issues this is one of the first things you should do.

This depends on your PVS bin.

I lose about 3% per hour with the wake functions enabled.

There is a fastcharge but it doesn't force AC charge mode. That would be very unsafe on this device because it would pull too much power (notice how fast the N5 charges with the wall charger?). My fastcharge increases the limit to 900mV from the default 500mV.

I never saw this myself, and it no longer happens on version 0.21 or later, but my understanding is you just cancel and reboot. There was never any actual data corruption.

Happy New Year!

205 pages and only one person complaining about the aroma installer. I vote keep it because it's awesome and easy to set up. How tedious is 6 seconds of your life, like really?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] CyberScopes:
Noooo, dont remove aroma, thats the main reason i use this kernel more than others and its one of the reasons this kernel is so unique

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bantamdraper:
Unless I missed a post (and I'm sure it will be pointed out if that's the case;) ), I don't see anywhere where anyone that prefers a non-Aroma option has suggested getting rid of the Aroma installer altogether and replacing it with a non-Aroma version.

Me personally, I'd prefer using a non-Aroma version of the kernel, but keeping the Aroma version around as well for those who prefer that.:good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Exactly!!!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] NovaSlim:
Concur, Aroma is one of my favorite part of this Kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] CRIME INC.:
Keep aroma installer!!!

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] FuMMoD:
I agree it is one of my favorite things about this kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gamerman123x:
I believe what flar said is that he is considering on making a non aroma version as well as keeping the aroma for those who like it I don't know correct me if I'm wrong. Personally I prefer a non aroma installer because whee you flash the zip it's there and then if you want to customize the settings just get a simple app from the play store like trickster and set it there instead of using init.d script stuff. Well that's just my opinion.

Happy New Year To All!! :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bantamdraper:
Agreed.

Has anyone that is getting all worked up over the thought of losing the Aroma installer actually read what was posted? :confused: Re-read the last few pages. No one has suggested ditching Aroma in favor of non-Aroma. That said, I'd still take an Aroma version of elementalx over any other kernel any day :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
I don't see a reason why flar2 should make two versions, just keep it as is, seems like wasted effort to fix something that ain't broken, it's your kernel stick to what you prefer I'm glad to follow along for the ride

U do no u can change it in the Elementalx.conf file to whatever u want . directions r in OP
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I wouldn't get rid of the aroma installer, I was just thinking of an express version.

I haven't thought it through completely yet, but I'm thinking you would install the full aroma version the first time, then after that you could flash the express version (unless you wanted to choose different options). Some people may simply flash the express version and get defaults. There are a few things I have to figure out first though.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] SacredDeviL666:

I have a bootloop with 6.05. I am on xtrasmooth rom, a stock based rom, which has elementalx has its own kernel. I installed aroma version of 6.05 with default choices and it bootloops. I re-installed 6.04 (aroma again) and everything was fine. Tested twice with same results.

Any suggestion?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Yes, uncheck "Enforcing" during installation.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ekowwillis:
enforcing/permissive

I'm flashing EX 6.05 on cataclysm MM, permissive is by default checked, do I leave it cheaked or I should uncheck? :confused:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
You mean "Enforcing" is checked

For Cataclysm or stock ROM, leave it checked.

For Pure Nexus, Chroma, and xtrasmooth, uncheck "Enforcing"

I don't know about others.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ekowwillis:
Thanks

I'm running Cataclysm and enforcing is checked when flashing EX 6.05.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION], Does the above apply to cataclysm ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
No, Cataclysm's kernel behaves just like the stock kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gianpaoloc:
Thanks, it worked!

May I suggest you to list how to understand/choose if checking it or not in the first post (op)? Just for the not so expert like me :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JohnSpawnVFX:
Probably reading the respective Rom's thread/webpage. They should be the ones providing that information.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
...or somehow list it right in the Aroma installer.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] just purchased your kernel manager app as a token of appreciation for your awesome work. Just a quick question, how does one load color profiles within the app? Thanks again :)

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] CptanPanic:
Did you ever get this working? On CM 12.1 I am able to this using the command line tool 'settings', I would like to do something similar on non-CM ROM with this kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] alasgalux:
I am still having audio hiccups/electronic noises on the background when playing music through PowerAmp + Viper4Android. And please, don't say the issue is on them, because with the same setups, using Franco Kernel, this doesn't happen.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Verify that EX is installed correctly, especially since you've had a different kernel, you must reflash /system. Install with default options, don't use custom hotplugging. And there are several ROMs that do not work correctly with EX.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] yeoldeusrename:
Sorry, I got sidetracked and never wrote a script to automate gamma changes. However, I did find the location where the gamma values are stored:

/sys/module/dsi_panel

If you go there, you can see files that correspond to each gamma component. A script would need to parse the color_profile file and create files to replace the files in the /sys location above.

At least in theory. I haven't gotten around to really trying yet...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ronaldo Forenucci:
Just switched over to CM 12.1 Nightly on TWO N5's (one 32G, the other 16G). Purchased the app and installed the kernels using the reboot to recovery feature. On the 16G N5, it worked perfectly. On the 32G N5, it wouldn't boot to recovery, just back into the pre-boot encryption password screen. I then manually booted into TWRP and found the kernel .zip and flashed it fine. Any idea why the app couldn't get it into recovery? Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Not sure. If it worked on one, it should work on the other. The install commands for the recovery are saved in cache, maybe they got deleted somehow.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ronaldo Forenucci:
Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah, it *tries* to get into TWRP, but then it blacks out and the Google screen comes back up, then into the crypto. If you have a chance, can you check the N7 thread, I posted about a boot loop on an encrypted N7.

BTW, nice app!

I have memory leak issue on this kernel :( After a few hours of using, system eats 700-800mb of RAM and free 600-700mb until i restart the phone. All apps are closed( On stock everything is ok, always free 800-1gb of ram and system eats 400-600mb.. EX 6.05, android 6.0 MRA58N stock..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Mine's okay, it's been running for over 5 days and has 1116MB free RAM. Besides that, everything about memory is completely stock on this kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] occtec:
For some reason ex kernel manager app is reporting incorrect free ram. Anyone else experiencing or noticed this?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] anz563:
Free RAM memory is displayed in the settings for the developer
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
i think his issue was not that he can't find the correct value but just to mention that the numbers in EX-App are not displayed correctly, nevertheless thanks for the hint, always good for many to know where else to look :) :good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] aamadorj:
I think Settings -> Memory in MM shows averages during the specify lapse (3 hours, 6 hours 12 hours or 1 day).

EX Kernel Manager can be showing free memory in real time. That can explain the difference.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
There are several different ways to interpret free memory

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ficki yahya:
First of all, i am sory if i asked a question that already solved. Because, i can not read thr whole 2thousands page in this thread. And, i thankfull for your concern for answerring my question.

My problem is random restart, this happen 1 day after i rooting my device, i used kernel elementalix versi 6.0. When i read the update, its already 6.05 so i think maybe i just need to reflash the kernel.

Few minutes later, i got my first random restart againt.

I dont know how and why this could happen, i try to lowdown the cpu max frequency to 1900 from the last random restart. Until i write this post, i havent got this issue againt. Maybe someone can help me out for this.... I realy thankfull, N5 is the only dailydriver that i have.

Thanks for your answer, best regards.

There is no need to read 2k pages. You can read the OP, briefly browse through the last two pages to see what's going on.

Battery

Can someone please post their kernel setup or give me direction to where I can see how to set my nexus 5 running cataclysm marshmallow w/elemental x to get maximum battery life. Itsnot very good with default settings so it dies while im at work and I am not able to charge it where im working. Thanks
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] grep_i:
Hey there I am using version 6.05, this is my kernel setup with this setup my device works for a whole day before I have to charge it.

Battery life really depends on how intensive you are using the phone and the apps you are using.

Some apps drain battery more than others.

Maybe changing the scaling governor to powersave is better in your situation.

I use kernel toolkit for that purpose.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mattcoz:
I'm not sure what has happened, but all of a sudden my phone is constantly rebooting. Not during the boot process, it'll boot up successfully but then reboot after a while. Sometimes within minutes, sometimes longer. Might not have anything to do with the kernel, as I didn't make any changes, but I thought I'd look here for help anyway. Here is my kernel log: last_kmsg
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] parkson:
Does fiddling with the power button help stop the reboots by any chance?

Flashed yesterday last version over stock kernel, but since then had a lot of reboots!!. The phone freezes, gets warm and after a while makes a soft-reboot (doesn't ask for sim pin). Too bad.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
none of this has to do with the kernle, revert to nandroid and flash again, must be a coincidende, except if you had a kernel tweaking app which interferes with default settings.

This kernel is 100% stable on the stock ROM.

With Cataclysm too,very stable.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] localh0st:
I've got stock 6.0 Marshmallow (MRA58N), with latest ElementalX kernel and Xposed Framework. I noticed massive battery drain after update from 5.0 to 6.0 (I used to use a franco kernel before).

Screen lightness is set at ~25%, LTE is enabled all day long, WIFI disabled, location disabled, screen is up for 1h30m, and phone is dead after ~14 hours. In the same conditions, my phone had around ~45% of battery by the evening, when it had been running on 5.0. Of course, kernel gestures are disabled, almost all features of kernel are set do default, except screen color tuning.

I don't see any weird battery consumption via Android's settings. Is there something I should check or take a look to find a solution?

Screenshot with basic information about settings attached.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fbf2201:
Try BetterBatteryStats to find the reason of your battery drain. It's somewhere in xda Forum.

Any app, service or xposed module could cause the drain.

Edit: here it is...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
this is not kernel related and as well not 6.0 related. the opposite is the case, if everything is correctly setup 6.0 sleeps up to 99.7% and at lest 99.2% in idle while non-idle drain cannot be seriously compared on this platform due to millions of possibilites for different usage.

your problem is caused either by an app or a module (which are apps as well ) first which comes to my mind is always facebook but there are other notorious troublemaker apps. so, instead of implying by terminology that it's the kernel's or OS's fault, i recommend to provide proper information instead, for examples module names, LOGs, use pattern (screenshots) WLD or BBS battery stats and the likes.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] grep_i:
I once had a similar problem but my phone kept on rebooting never went through the complete bootcycle before rebooting again.

In my case fiddling with the power button solved the problem.

Your case sounds more like a problem with an installed app

Hi I'm using last version of ElementalX. I installed EX Kernel Manager, i changed CPU's frequencies but when i reboot my phone they reset to default values, how can i set them to apply on boot?

Please don't mess with cpu frequencies. You can only make your phone worse.

Hey flar! Thats not totally true. My self being a user of a nexus 5 have to work around to get more juice from de lame battery that it as. That being said i normaly set my cpu freq to 1728 and alter some of the other parameters using ex kernel manager. Of course that it doesnt stay as fast as in your default settings but if i can take half an hour to one hour more juice on a daily basis use, expecially in medium to heavy use i do it and it still works great! Even on battery saving mode it still works great! Its up to the user and their knowllege of kernels setups to find a better way to mess with his device.

Last but not least just want to say that your kernel is just great. Using pure nexus rom 6.0 r2 with it and its superb! Thanks for your hard work.:D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
I would maybe try wiping the app cache. Just bring up your apps, go to EX and wipe the cache and try again.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Cheeriosse:
I will try. A quesiton: what does the circle near some settings in EX Kernel Manager stand for? I mean: what does change if I tap it and if I untap it?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Scartozzi:
it's apply on boot setting
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Cheeriosse:
As I thought but it seems to don't work on my device. Thanks all for answers

Make sure you don't have greenify or something else blocking the boot service.

Or you may have to be more patient. The settings are not applied immediately.
