[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Co.Tibi:
For those who are looking for the link to version 7.00, just flash the latest update in kernel manager (6.22 I believe). It's actually 7.00. you'll see the right version after flashing. Also choosing a custom installation and unticking automatic reboot, in kernel manager, will save a copy of EX kernel in the EX folder on internal memory.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sam.balia1012:
- EXK manager will not let u download 7.0 if on a custom kernel (at least for me)

-reflash ROM (if on custom kernel) then go to EXK manager, download and flash 7.0 manually
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Co.Tibi:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] I can confirm that the camera isn't working with the latest update (also all apps that use the camera don't work). For some reason battery seems to hold for a lot longer. It believe it is not a placebo effect.

Will you release a similar kernel for the Nexus 7. The ROMs for N7 are just as stable. The missing double tap to wake feature makes the N7 hard to work with. Thank you
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] a g bell:
Can you confirm selinux is set to permissive and camera still doesn't work?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Co.Tibi:
Switching to permissive restores functionality to camera. So that's confirmed.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] faZevoLv:
I'm on the latest update of this kernel, Nitrogen OS 7.0 and SElinux on enforcing and camera works perfectly.

This kernel is absolutely perfect, battery life amazing compared to stock and speed is buttery smooth, good work!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Joy Bangla:
Does this mean i have to pay to get the new nougat kernel?? [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Now where is 6.22 kernel?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Co.Tibi:
Just download the latest update, whatever the version number. When flashing it you'll see that it's the 7.00 kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drive2droad:
Going to try it first thing in the morning. Thanks for the Nougat support.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Dalamar666:
Hi

I'm usign v6.22 and i'm having high ram usage issue...

Without recently apps (ony 3c toolbox), less than 800/700 mb...

Any ideas?

[IMG="3c ram usage capture"]http://dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.com/3/8/8/7/0/8/9/photo3026303132478513.jpg?key=BbVzF79yT4RQXgqKqVdivA&ts=1474914054[/IMG]
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
High RAM usage is not a problem, it should get used up
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
Try using row or deadline scheduler.

set read ahead buffer to 256.

i had some stuttering too, but this helped
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Set the throttling at googles default when installing , this should help u but games kill battery's on all phones all kernels .
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ak4d4:
Reinstall the rom?

---------- Post added at 09:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 PM ----------

You are editing that with a app? Trickster?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
I didn't have any stutters or anything with default settings but agreed deadline or row is definitely the way to go with this kernel. Personally I like deadline seems to have a Lil more "bang" to it
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
Yes i am using trickster

this can be done with any kernel app out there..

and i guess there are other ways too, which am not too confident about :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Yes. You should have completely smooth experience with this kernel, otherwise something is wrong with your system.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
For certain.

Not sure why, but i had a lot of stutters with most versions after .18 (i think)

deadline did away with 90% of it, but in apps like tapatalk or icon packs, there was a definite delay.

after using row there is absolutely no stutter or lag anywhere..

it's unbelievably fluid :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] CyberScopes:
[MENTION=4292450]Blaze420916[/MENTION] Your not the only one, Injustice kills my battery and i can only play for around 2 hours (If im lucky) before it goes out of charge.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DoesntPostAThing:
After repeatedly dirty flashing ROMs and kernels and mods/addons etc. my phone does get a bit slower, but after wiping cache and dalvik and letting it rebuild all the ART stuff it's back to normal.

You don't have to use trickster, run this command in shell:

su
echo [scheduler] > /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/scheduler

[scheduler] is the desired scheduler, so replace it with row or deadline etc. Don't include the [].

Or download the init.d script linked in my sig, and reboot. That will automatically apply my current settings, and will do so every boot.

EDIT: Here's a great guide for those of you who want to learn how to tweak kernel settings without an app, and set it on boot: http://www.reddit.com/r/nexus4/comments/1atthk/kernel_tweaking_for_free_a_dummys_guide_to_initd/

Keep in mind that some of the settings don't apply for this kernel/device as this guide was made for Nexus 4 kernels, but most of it is the same.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DoesntPostAThing:
Running a shell command once won't, but if you put that shell command into an init.d script it will apply every boot. I have my init.d script linked in my sig, and there's a guide (not mine) in my previous post that teaches you how to make an init.d script.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DoesntPostAThing:
My script should be the last one run, meaning unless you have a kernel app what it sets will not be overridden, but it will override any previous scripts including 99elementalx (script that sets aroma values). However, I do not touch any values set by elementalx.conf or the aroma installer, only values that aren't covered by that. If you want to set on boot values covered by the aroma installer then change elementalx.conf, flar made it easily understandable.

The only values changed by my script are I/O scheduler, read ahead, and TCP control. I may add more in the future but as of right now there is no need.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] resynx:
Thanks for all the hard work you've been putting in [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] , loving it! Excellent battery life, excellent performance, excellent kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
How long dose it last with stock kernel? 2 hours seems like pretty respectable time off one charge
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Onismurai:
Same in stock, maybe slightly better. I played Modern Combat usually and got charged after over 2 hours, may be 2.5 if I'm lucky. Came from 100% full charged to play.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dmt-300:
Hi guys

First time using this kernel & until now ok but if i choose to set CPU max frequency anything above 25.... The phone will go on boot loop :what:

Thanks n advanced
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DoesntPostAThing:
Then don't set it to anything above 25xx... There are always risks with overclocking, and there's not much you can do except maybe increase the voltages. You shouldn't need to overclock anyways. This device is already so fast and clocking it any higher just results in instabilities and it getting throttled faster, which makes the phone slower.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dmt-300:
I totally agree but I thought just to let u knw that guys

I tried this kernel back on HOX time & thats y I choose it on my N5 :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cc16177:
Are you also undervolting? You may want to try a higher setting or just don't overclock as much.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dmt-300:
I don't UV when I overclock but now I'm on stock & UV 50

Edit: what is the best settings for battery savings cus I'm not much of a gamer :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
For battery life, choose all defaults but disable gboost.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Dalamar666:
So you think that the ram used without recent applications that I've indicated is "normal"? Any tweak or recommendation with the settings?

Thanks a lot for your answer

Good work with your kernel!!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I never touch the memory settings.

You must remember that linux caches all your disk accesses in memory, that way things can be re-accessed quickly . But this memory will be freed quickly if the apps you're using need it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cleps:
Lost the flashlight toggle after install elemental in Santhosh nougat Rom. When I tried to open flashlight with other app, got the information that LED is being used by other app.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] George35000vr:
After flashing the 7.00 ver im having massive battery draining and sudden shutdowns.Can anyone confirm this?(My battery is indeed faulty but this happened just right after i flashed the update :/ )

Thanks in advance :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Nougat is not supported on this device. Various devs will do the best they can, but if you want a perfectly functioning device, use official Marshmallow. To be honest, I don't even like Nougat.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Hatshipuh:
Did you actually try downloading it? That it isn't mentioned in the changelog doesn't meant it's not available to download.

Tap-a-talked from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Co.Tibi:
I had it installed 2 days ago. I mentioned I found the kernel. The subject was closed.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cmr_noob:
Flashed elementx-N5-7.00 on nitrogen os. Haven't noticed any issues with the kernel. Everything works properly
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Maszew:
I installed this kernel a few days ago. Experiences so far are very great, except that I get frequent random shutdowns, especially when using Snapchat or any other apps that use the camera. I am on stock 6.0.1, running EX v6.21.

My settings are all the ones defaulted during install using Aroma, with USB Fastcharge enabled and FIOPS as I/O scheduler, if that matters.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Rvkix:
I don't know how or why... but my wifi is working again after flashing your kernel! Stock wouldn't work... nor did blu for some reason. So thank you flar!!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Do a clean install. This kernel should work perfectly with stock marshmallow.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Maszew:
Do I just reflash the kernel zip using TWRP? Is that what you mean by clean install?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
No, I mean wipe data and caches and reflash the factory images.

Trust me, this will be easier and faster than trying to troubleshoot an unknown random problem. I at least know the kernel is completely stable and functional.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Maszew:
Okay I'll go do that. Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jineshpatel30:
Hello Aaron,

I'm also getting random shutdowns since 3-4 weeks. actually i was on August factory image + Cataclysm MOD & EX 6.20 two weeks ago and i was getting Random shut downs so i thought it might be Cataclysm related so I Clean Flashed September Factory Image With EX 6.21 (System less root & Xposed ) but random shutdowns are still there. I'm attaching Log files after Last random shutdown. please go through them and tell if you find something cranky :rolleyes:

if it helps, almost every random shutdown happens in Instagram or (any) browser Videos ( i think it's pattern similar to previous user's report )
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Mrcactuseater:
Chances are it is xposed.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jineshpatel30:
May be...but I wasn't using xposed when i was on Cataclysm and still it was the same pattern random shutdown.

Anyway instead of suspecting let's wait till someone explains the the cause situation through logs :) ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kris Groove:
WiFi stop working after flash 7.0 version.

I can turn on bur can't find any WiFi network.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
There are no kernel errors, the reboot is being caused by a watchdog bite. This problem is definitely initiated by an app, and seems related to video, but I don't know if there's anything I can fix on my end. IIRC, I have not modified anything related to this in the kernel, nor have I ever had problems with reboots on this device.

Make sure you wipe cache and Dalvik.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jineshpatel30:
Oh, can it be related to hardware ? (may be something is failing ? I hope Not :p )

I'll clear cache & delvik once again and will see it this happens in short time again :(

PS : just for info my device don't random reboot after similar situations ...it just shutdown and i have to Boot it by pressing power button. Share If you can think of anything that might cause this.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] candra yudha tama:
Where is link for version 6.22 ????
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] grep_i:
Maybe something with your power button itself.

I had a similar problem once where my device randomly shuts down and sometimes I could not even turn it on because immediately shuts down again.

What helped for me was, fiddling with the power button till I felt it was positioned in good way in its holder.

Issue did not occur anymore after that.

Of course I don't know if this will help in your case.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] CrashOverride1995:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] Is there any chance that you consider adding ZRAM Compression, I have around 80-90 installed apps and the phone lags while multitasking so if you could add ZRAM Compression it would be less stressful on the RAM(that's what I think).
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I've been planning to add it for a while
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vince.lupe:
Hey everyone, what's the best settings for ExperimentalX? I'm running Nougat stock ROM and would love smooth performance but way better battery life. Thank you, everyone!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ScRuFFy7:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] I just want to express my thanks for making an incredible kernel! I really wish I started tinkering with ROMs and kernels on my Nexus 5 a long time ago. The difference in battery life for me has been incredible. I look forward to your future builds and updates!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] iason747:
I just installed this kernel with stock settings and my nexus 5 is now getting really hot :/ Is there anything i can do about it ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GjorgiDxc:
Choose the Extra Cool thermal throttling
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I made a bad naming choice on those. I believe stock is the "coolest" thermal settings.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] iason747:
OK i'll give it a try.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] LewisGauss:
Just a heads up, October security update is live! :D Cheers
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Maszew:
I've already done what you have said but the problem still persists. I've cleared Cache and ART/Dalvik as well. Attached is my settings in the .log file below, if that helps.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] maortrol:
Maybe the last security update for our Nexus 5, and maybe the last version of EX Kernel that flar2 will make for Marshmallow (on hammerhead)... :p
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
They already dropped support for the Nexus 7 (2013).

But even if they stop updating, I have a few improvements planned for ElementalX, so there could be a few more releases.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] maortrol:
Glad to hear that! :D Thank you for your support!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Update!!!

Download

ElementalX-N5-6.23

Changes:

-October security update
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] basti314:
Great and already installed! [emoji2]

But still vulnerable to CVE-2016-2504?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] maortrol:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] Many thanks for the Update! :D

Is that gap in version (6.21 -> 6.23) due to something special? :confused:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gjw00:
Will this work on a nougat rom?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] maortrol:
I think there's another kernel version 7.X for Nougat roms... You should install a 7.0 rom, then EX Kernel Manager app, and it will download the proper version of EX Kernel for Nougat... ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gjw00:
Well. Installed and paid the $4, kernel updated and now wifi isn't working

Ffs
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] maortrol:
I think there is a "Wifi Fix" zip file anywhere in the forums that solves the problem, but I can't find it right now... :(
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] zsocop:
http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/kernel-t2697951/post68395715

Here is the wififix
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AndroidBR:
6.22 was for Nougat only. ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] maortrol:
That explains why I didn't notice 6.22 in my MM stock rom... :D Thank you!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AndroidBR:
I'm not sure why Aaron decided to pull out some of the latest zip files from the website, like the express install or latest releases. I'm sure it has something to do with him having a (busy) life. Haha!

Or maybe it's simply a clever strategy to get people to purchase his kernel manager app. ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gjw00:
Thanks. Camera not working also?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] J3:16:
Can this be used with Marshmallow? Or is it for N?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
This is for marshmallow.

The ElementalX N build is unofficial, because I can't guarantee everything will work. We can already see that there are issues like wifi and camera that need hacks and workarounds. That's why it's not widely available for download. If you have the app, just as a little bonus for longtime supporters, you can get the N build and use it as you wish, but I'm not supporting it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ZaKaRia OuH:
that wifi fix is for blu sparks kernel.

will it work with ElementalX ?

i don't think so !
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] buffal0b1ll:
What ROM are you running? What date is the build? What month security patches?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mikebeatrice:
When you go to flash this, it says right in the description..only flash if you are on the July build of Android or newer and if you have Wi-Fi problems, then flash the older version of the kernel that supports June and prior.

I don't get why every month the same questions turn up since that disclaimer was put there to tell you exactly what to do.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
For the best experience, use the latest ElementalX 6.23 with the latest official stock ROM and firmware, which is Marshmallow.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Lughnasadh:
It works on ElementalX
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ZaKaRia OuH:
okey.thanks to all of you for the Simple clarrification.

i'm just wondering if the elementalX kernel will work with AOSP nougat 7.0 santosh Rom on nexus 5 ?

i have got two problems with the stock kernel,slow charging and massive battery drain,

i know this isn't the right thread to ask about this but i want to undervolt my nexus 5.

i did a test of PVS and actually it's PVS: 2

i don't how know much i should undervolt. :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Joy Bangla:
Loving EX 7.00 with AOSP ROM. Great Work, Thanks [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]. Can you give some info about gboost option? Like what it does? Is it related to GPU?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chazall1:
Thanks for the update. All working here. Did you get a Pixel or an XL?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I ordered both, tentatively. I am following closely how Developer friendly they will be.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] I'm actually willing to compile a kernel with the features (drivers and other pentesting) as in the Kali NetHunter and have your kernel features on top of it.

I just dont have any direction from where to start.

It would be great help if you help me in compiling that kernel with features both kernel have.

And i would like to make it open source too. And post it on XDA as an extension to your kernel.

I need advice :3
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] aslam_:
im from blu_spark and wanna try this kernel, is it ok if i just flash it?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] yyz71:
Flash your original kernel then flash this one;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] aslam_:
im using stock rom and stock kernel located in boot.img right? so i'll just adb fastboot boot.img only to my phone
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] yyz71:
Stock kernel you can flash this kernel then..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Nevermindthelabel:
Fastboot flash boot boot.img or flash in twrp>install image>boot.img
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ScRuFFy7:
Does this really matter or is it like clean vs dirty flashing?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] yyz71:
Blue spark has different ramdisk than this one. That's why it's always recommend to reflash your original kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] aslam_:
thanks both of you. really appreciated your help :good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gverma1:
The correct way to change kernels is to flash both boot.img and system.img before flashing your desired kernel. This will not erase your data. If you want to root, flash supersu before your desired kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ScRuFFy7:
Where do I find the system.img?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gverma1:
Since you are using stock rom, you can extract it from nexus factory image. If you have installed xposed, you will have to flash it also (after flashing EX kernel).
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ZaKaRia OuH:
hey all.

hope yall doing good.

i'm running Aosp Nougat 7.0 on my nexus 5 with the stock kernel(i mean the one that came with the rom).

i cleaned art/dalvik cashe and cashe then flashed the lattest version of ElementalX kernel v6.23,then wiped cashe and dakvik cashe again.

but when i clicked reboot system,my phone rebooted to TWRP tried to reboot to bootloader then click start,but redirected me to TWRP again.

i fortunately did a backup of Boot.img and restored it.

that's why i'm still alive here :D

can anyone tell me what could be the problem with my phone,is there any solution for this?

i'll try to reflash it again and see if it will work.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AtEExll:
Hello,

I'm too with this reboot to TWRP, but the problem is kernel, 6.23 isn't kernel for Android 7, you must find the kernel in app from ElementalX, then download ElementalX 7.00 ...

Sorry for my bad English, but isn't my native lenguage.

Best Regards.

AtEExll
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ZaKaRia OuH:
thank you for your friendly help.

what's the name of the app from which i should download ElementalX 7.00 ?

Why system.img never did this myself and still I could change kernels with only boot.img I'm curious as why it worked for me although I did it wrong for so long.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gverma1:
Coz I remember reading a while back in both kernel threads (EX and Bluespark) that this is the best method. Coz I guess both insert/alter some files in system (rom) partition.
