As I saw today somewhere it's against the rules of xda to compare kernels or other stuff in a public post. But I did for myself (I'm just keen on comparing everything)) and you may. It's a couple of topics away. Or PM. Cheers.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dakore:
True that. Here is almost the same result with "slightly" heavier usage:

Cataclysm+elementalX 0.23 Optimized Dalvik + bionic patch, uv -62.5mV, 300MHz at 700mV, uc 300-1500 mhz. fsync ON, wake options OFF, stock color, gboost OFF. Only battery saving location and only wifi network.

Great kernel so far! Coming from bricked and I didn't expect any significant gain
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] akarol:
Well that's dumb. Why can't we compare? XDA is turning into China more and more lately.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Circaflex:
regarding the bionic patch i share the same sentiments as the vanir devs https://plus.google.com/104097621805582709171/posts/JJsTYxXEgZF
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
We can compair , they will close a thread thats opened strictly for comparison not us talking in a thread .... But no one can answer your question anyways , everyone has different preferences so no point in asking for a comparison IMO

But if u still want comparisons its best asked in your rom thread not kernel

---------- Post added at 12:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 PM ----------

This has nothing to do with kernel .... But the bionic patch dose make a difference its noticed right away , dalvik ya not so much . doesn't CM include them in there ROM ? I think I'd go with CM option over who ever that is ...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nezlobnyj:
Just my 2cents - Although it's the closest to the point I think ROM thread is not a place for this either. Not in the Dev branch. There should be a thread in General somewhere about kernels and such)

I think he means it won't make a difference if you run a ROM that already has bionic and davlik optimized. But it does on a stock ROM without those optimizations to begin with. For example cataclysm which I believe doesn't optimize bionic. If I'm wrong I apologize.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kmar22:
Thanks guys! How about Vanir? Im on the bus between Vanir , CM, and Cataclysm..I want the most fluid, fast experience possible. Thanks ahead of time guys, I am just trying to save on some time.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] I have a suggestion for express kernel: insthead of setting default options, I'd go for leaving options set before.

I mean: I flash kernel for the first time, I'll use standard version.

Then I flash an update of my ROM, maybe a nightly one, maybe using Cyandelta (that automates procedure): I'd use a kernel version that leaves settings as they were on first kernel's flash. This would be useful...

Use trickster app, it does this automatically when you boot with the new kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Try with stock settings, then the other ramdisk option. If that doesn't work, please send me the install logs that it asks you to save at the end of aroma.

I tested this morning. When plugged into AC it charges the same with fastcharge on or off. When plugged into USB port, depending on your motherboard, it charges faster with fastcharge on than it does with fastcharge off. On my wife's computer, the USB port is designed properly and limits the current to 0.5A, so fastcharge does nothing. On my computer, it pulls 900mA with fastcharge on.

The fastcharge that was introduced on a couple of other kernels this week will allow you to charge even faster on USB, at the risk of frying your computer if it can't handle it (that's why I limited it to 0.9A).

I favour smaller values. Raising it will speed up working with larger files.

This is what I plan on doing. For this version, I had to install a new config file because I made changes to it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
Flar2 if during usage of the phone the dt2w option is turned off, would the battery drain revert to what it would be as if it were disabled?

If yes, could this be used as a feature so users can toggle an option in aroma where the dt2w function automatically turns off when battery reaches a certain level like say 15 percent?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GialanG:
Please remember to include all your settings in aroma (for example, CPU frequency is not in the current config file) so that everyone will easily find his way back. Anyway, in my opinion 30s extra for the aroma installer is not a big pain, so it's best if the aroma installer gets old settings in config file as default in the new installation, then if someone decides not to change anything from the previous installation, he simply taps Next and Next... and finishes only in 10s :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Yes to the first thing, if s2w and dt2w options are turned off, the battery drain is stopped. But the second thing is not something that would be implemented in kernel.

CPU frequency, L2/bus overclock and the min voltage setting from aroma can't be in the config file. They are command line options injected into the boot.img during the install process. But all the rest of the settings can be kept in the next version of the express installer. The express installer will always install with the stock frequencies.

Currently, the express installer accounts for about 10% of downloads.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DoesntPostAThing:
Download Tasker and have it run a shell command when battery is below x%. The command is:

echo 0 > /sys/android_touch/doubletap2wake

Have it execute as root. If you don't have Tasker I'll see if I can export it as an app later so you can install that and it should work.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Maxyman:
Hey Flar,

Quick question if you don't mind. I'm not sure if you're aware of Viper4Android audio enhancement but a bit of chat was happening with people installing this mod and kernel compatibility. Some have reported that it doesn't work on some kernel as it has another type of audio kernel or something to that effect-pardon me I'm not too knowledgeable about this area. I love using your Kernel so I was wondering if you could help me out on understanding whether there might be anything in your kernel that would make V4A not work properly?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ashwin988:
Hi [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

I did a search on your thread and I noticed that fauxsound was put in to your kernel? Could you please add that in, because the sound quality is really good compared to stock. I would really appreciate it. I came from faux and his kernel is great, but your kernel is smoother then stock :)

Thank you
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Faux sound is already included in ElementalX so if you've bought the FauxSound app just flash the kernel and put your usual settings and you're good
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tetrakinitis:

Question, how do we turn it back on after we've turned it off?

I tried echo 1 > /sys/android_touch/doubletap2wake but it only turns it back on for the lower half screen :/

what's the command to turn on dt2w for full screen?

thanks,

Kendall

EDIT: nevermind I found it! It's just echo 2 instead of 1!

so to turn it back on for fullscreen:

echo 2 > /sys/android_touch/doubletap2wake

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

Have you been able to use fauxsound using scripts I've been trying for awhile and it doesn't work, messaged faux123 but he's never replied, here's the script

#!/system/bin/sh

#sound
echo "3" > /sys/kernel/sound_control_3/gpl_cam_mic_gain
echo "1 1" > /sys/kernel/sound_control_3/gpl_headphone_gain
echo "34 34" > /sys/kernel/sound_control_3/gpl_headphone_pa_gain
echo "3" > /sys/kernel/sound_control_3/gpl_mic_gain
echo "7" > /sys/kernel/sound_control_3/gpl_speaker_gain

I've tried different combinations with '3' or just the number and it never works, only thing that works is changing the gpl_sound_control_locked and the value displays otherwise nothing

guys, what is your battery drain for night with dt2w on?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
Please do take a little time to read through the thread..

You'll find the answers you need plus a lot of helpful info that'll help make your phone experience better.

With dt2w enabled you can exist an additional 2-3% drain.

Using the power button to toggle dt2w off when device not in use will increase the battery life

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
You need system mounted read/write

Using ES File Explorer? Go to menu, Tools and turn on Root Explorer. Then long press Root Explorer and click Mount R/W. Then make sure /system has RW selected and press OK.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Look at the commit for sound control, you'll see there is some bit shifting going on for those sysfs entries. I assume this is an attempt to get people to buy the app by making it difficult to use the controls through sysfs. I don't know if I feel comfortable revealing the extra digits to make it work, as this might be considered cracking paid software. But the source code is open and if one knows how to read C, one could easily figure it out. Hint: there is another code after the value.

It's pretty hard to tell, they're all similar. I would suggest using ROW for a few days, then use deadline for a couple days and see if you can tell the difference. There's no instant difference.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
If you can show me the extra value via PM it would be much appreciated, I personally feel that's really low to force people to buy an app (via bit shifting), people should support a Dev out of appreciation. This Dev forgets if he acts fishy users will just get a cracked app, I'm using sound mod (mixer_paths.XML hack) in themes and apps section at the moment. Does Franco's sound implementation have similar restrictions?

This is the commit right?

There seems to be a value + checksum but have no idea
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Alfonso87:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] I changed some values for my use of the phone, to make the cpu less responsive to inputs. I would like to change the input freq too but with tickster mod and some other app this don't seems possible, the value always go back to 1.2 mHz..Should i modify the elementalx config file? In this case..where can i find it? :o Thanks :D

Ps. Deadline scheduler seems great with battery saving settings :eek:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] baySF:
Coming from Franco's Kernel, Which should I choose? Current ramdisk, or Stock ramdisk? I'm at that part of choosing, so a quick reply would be grateful. Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GoldElocks:
Flash the stock android kernel, reboot into system. Reboot recovery and flash elemental with stock ramdisk. Enjoy
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] baySF:
I forgot to mention that I am updating Purity ROM the newest version. Every time I do so, I only wipe Dalvik. Also, It flashes whatever kernel comes with that ROM over whatever custom Kernel I have. Should I still do what you said?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gpvecchi:
I'm testing some kernels around (all the 5 CM compatible) and benchmarking them: it seems that this one is the only with slow bootanimation...

Could it be because of the boot CPU frequency?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] polobreaka:
purity uses stock kernel, so you should be fine flashing elemental after updating purity. thats how i usually do it. during installation of elemental, i leave everything default and everything works fine.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Gpvecchi, i'm not seeing that

Naturally you will have to reinstall elementalx each time you update the Rom. No special steps are required.

The only thing you need to avoid is reusing Franco's ramdisk. That's not an issue if you update your Rom with its stock kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
Just some results on an experiment I did..

With dt2w enabled, I always get close to a day's backup..

With dt2w disabled, I've had 40% battery remaining at the end of the day..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] baySF:
Thanks you two. I love this Kernel, so I switched back to it. Keep up the great work!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ashwin988:
I tried this out with Purity rom and am using elementalx stock settings without gboost and on cfq and I must say.. Battery life looks phenomenal :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I recommend gboost enabled. You don't want to cripple performance. You'll still get great battery life with gboost enabled. At least the same as another popular kernel, except you'll still be able to play games without lag.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DoesntPostAThing:
Can confirm, gboost enabled and got 4h ost today. I was theming and stuff, on auto brightness.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] deadpedal:
Can also confirm. Got 6 hours sot with gboost enabled and moderate use and some modding time in there also.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I also found that it's safe to install over franco if you choose stock ramdisk. My installer takes care of the system files so you don't need to dirty flash your rom. Obviously this will only work on ROMs that use the stock ramdisk. You'll still have to do a dirty flash to get a proper ramdisk on ROMs where "use existing ramdisk" is necessary.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] miesa:
I tested running without gboost for a few days. The battery life improvement isn't worth it in my case as it's not significant enough to warrant losing the smoothness of gboost + eleX

Wait, are you asking for screenshots for a kernel?

You know, a kernel doesn't really change the appearance of a ROM... At most, it is the colors that might be different - but really, you can't take screenshots of how the display shows that colors...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] worldboss:
Are there any known problems with "cooler colors"? Is the battery draining quicker or is the temperature higher?

Because i really like it but don't know if its dangerous for my device
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Splux:
I can only answer one of those questions, and that's about the battery; I've not noticed any difference an m in my battery life since I started to use the cooler colors option.

If it's dangerous or not I'll let someone else answer.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
No one knows if its "dangerous" or if will cause issues , but I use it, battery is the same with it on or off for ME , I notice 0 issues with it in last few months , used it when Franco had it also for a while . if u plan on having this phone for next few years after the warranty is gone then maybe u shouldn't experiment, but if your like me and already wanting to go buy the "next best thing " go for it ;P its how it should have came IMO
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
You can change it on the fly with a cpu app like TricksterMod. Go to the governor settings and look for gboost.

You can also change it like this:

echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/elementalx/gboost

(going from memory here, it's something like that)

I still recommend leaving it enabled, it won't have much effect on battery life for normal activities.

Nobody knows if there are any long term effects of the cooler colors option. Many people have been running it for the past couple months without issue.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Chochiwpg:
I still have issues making changes in elementalx.conf file using ES File Explorer. I give it read/write permissions and root and it still won't let me save the changes I make. Grrr. I prefer making the changes in the file as well and not having to run a separate app. Suggestions?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I was stumped too, until I found out there was another step.

With ES File Explorer, open the menu, click tools, then turn on Root Explorer. Long press Root Explorer to bring up another menu, click Mount R/W and set /system to RW. Then you should be able to edit the file.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
Hmm.. Slower is relative..

Yes it is slower than what I remember seeing on stock when I first got the phone.

But that could also be due to the fact that there are a lot more things loaded up now.

I say relative cos I think earlier the boot animation stayed for say ten secs, but now it's around 18-20 secs..

Are you seeing something different?

---------- Post added at 03:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 PM ----------

Could you advice how to get this going ? Through trickster is it?

Would it interfere if you had any settings through a third party app like light flow?
