There is nothing wrong with mahdirom or elementalx kernel. I use this combo and get amazing battery life and performance.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kornklown69:
been running .38 cm since release runs great
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Agreed!! + There isn't anything wrong with this kernel at all, 9.9 times outa 10 its one of the billion "Roms" out here , user error or something user has installed . I can't remember a actual issue that turned out to be kernels fault . anyways [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] 38 working great ,but I can't decide between 34 and 38 . for some reason 34 seemed to have a Lil more "snap" maybe slightly better battery but looking at changelogs it may be just me since there 99% the same kernel

Just another vote up for 0.38

no issues whatsoever.. the changes that have been rolled back seem to have worked... at least for my device
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] atomizasser:
i Have problems for installing apk in ART mode. I have madhiROM + elementalX 0.38.

In dalvik mode there are no problems, but when i switch to art i cannot install any APK, any!

Difference between 0.34 and 0.38

Hi.. I am on 0.38 currently and everything is good. Just wanted to know if there are any other differences between 0.34 and 0.38 other than F2FS support in 0.38 and Read Ahead Buffer 512 in 0.38 instead of 128 in 0.34. If I don't use F2FS and have already set RAB to 512 in 0.34, does it make sense to upgrade to 0.38? Thanks

Edit: just saw the changelog... so there are other tweaks also in 0.38... will give it a try then.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] howard bamber:
Thx for the new 38 but had the 512 etc on 34.btw this kernel beats anything, Inc stock. You are probably fed up with being told that :P

From my mobile telephony device.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
I just did a search in that Roms thread and there's post after post of ART having issues... So Looks like your ROM is broken . I may be wrong but thats how it reads to me . I'd head over there ...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] rickyx32:
I'm not having any your problems on my end with 0.38. I'm only mentioning it because my two brothers have theirs on 0.36 and my mom's and mine are 0.38 and everything has been squeaky clean. What I do notice off the bat is that having the RAB at 128 keeps the phone snappy as usua, but using the new kernel default 512 makes the animations and transitions smoother, but that's at the expense of the "snappiness" imho.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] californicated:
It's not the kernel. Some (cracked) apps can't be installed running ART :silly:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] paychex:
Why don't you turn off auto update?

---------- Post added at 05:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:39 AM ----------

And the other guy found out was his fault. I'm pretty sure there is no way ANY kernel can affect the comment section of any app. Please tell me how I'm wrong
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] CitizenLee:
The Facebook thing could be due to the kernel wiping cache and dalvik after flashing? Probably not though.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] reddvilzz:
Amazing kernel on the latest build :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] skeamznz:
Just moved to the N5 and this kernel is amazing. Extremely smooth great SOT and makes the phone sleep like a hibernating bear.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
There is not a problem with the kernel. Look at github.

The only differences between this and 0.34 are backlight dimmer, rgb colour control and updated F2FS support.

The only differences between 0.38 and 0.36 are removed hardfloat option and updated F2FS support.

Did you try wiping cache or a clean install? You need to do this before reporting problems. The kernel works without issues for me and many thousands of others.

I also want to mention that the kernel very rarely affects apps like Facebook. There is just no connection.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
As already said.....a few people having the same problem does not make it an issue when 100's don't have the problem. Many use this kernel....reports pour in IF there's actually an issue.

Its an issue caused by something other than the kernel....and those few provably have a common element causing them the same issue.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fitz420:
Just got my N5 yesterday, coming from an S3.

Do u guys know if Franco's Nexus Display Control app, which allows for custom color profiles, works with this kernel and if so does loading a custom profile conflict in any way with the defaults set with elementalx.

Thanks guys.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] szucsgf:
Franco's display control app works. I recommend the "Perfect22" colour profile. It does not conflict with this kernel in any way as long as you make sure, in the Aroma installer, to select default colours and not "slightly cooler".

Hope you enjoy your new phone.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Temperature throttling -- performance is impacted, but is battery life?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fitz420:
Thanks so much. I'm happy to have a phone with such active development. Enjoy is an understatement......
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nikeman513:
I have to say Franco is still the best kernel developer, but he's been absent recently. I haven't seen an update in weeks, and he doesn't do over clocking which is annoying, but his kernels are always the most stable, even at Beta releases. Elemental Dev is close, but I run into an issue here and there. More so on my N7 then my N5. Right now Elemental is best though.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ensifolk:
Best is objective. No dev can please everyone. I have tried all kernels on my Nexus devices, and for my own use, this is the best Kernel I have ever used. Stable, good battery life with no loss of performance! Feature rich ! Updated frequently !
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] theesotericone:
Nope. Best is subjective. Objective can be proven with facts. Subjective is opinion. Other than that though I agree with you. Your best kernel and my best kernel will possibly be different.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Is support in 0.11 to backlight dimmer for KMM broken? In 0.10 I used KMM app with no trouble, now I can't load the module for backlight dimmer
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GSLEON3:
Just plain ole' nonsense, not too mention rude. Kinda like me walking into your business & telling you, " it's okay, but really your business really sucks compared to mine”. You say one is best, then slam Franco's support, while talking of issues with Flar's work, but providing no reference. You are always free to utilize the OPEN SOURCE code & build your own "perfect" kernel. Just let me know when you commit to the git, I'd love to see your contributions. BTW, ElementalX is as solid as they come. NO other kernel gets me the combination of features, stability & battery life that Flar's kernel does. Also, rarely does any other dev support devices as long as Flar does. Always improving, which is hard to do when you start with stability & near perfection out of the box.

Bro, you don't need KMM. Flat has built a backlight into the kernel package. Just install, select the backlight mod check box in aroma & voilà, backlight mod that survives reboots. Same for USB fastcharge.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] any chance of a backlight module for the Nexus 7 2013? I know this is for Mako: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/lge-...ch/arm/mach-msm/lge/mako/board-mako-display.c but something similar is surely possible?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nikeman513:
Lol I was about to say the same thing. Anyone who's been in college stat class (if you haven't and you went to college your degree is probably is a worthless $40k piece of paper). You learn to make decisions based on objective data.

Other than that, I said this is a great Dev, just I think Franco is a little better, but what good is that when Dev barely updates (and still collects $ on his app, that I regret buying now).
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] shinesthru:
Get out of here with that trash.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nikeman513:
It's not rude at all. I said they are both great. I acknowledged Elemental Dev updates his work and his kernels are great. You just take things way too serious and read too much into things, because no one else got my comment as an insult. I praised elemental for his updates and said currently his is the best out. It's more like me going to into an apple store and saying you make great products, but I like how Android devices are cheaper and open source, although, your updates tend to be more complete than androids at first, but since apple released Nexus 5 at $350 and KitKat is almost perfect, I like androids more right now...

---------- Post added at 03:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 AM ----------

What trash again? I praised Elements as the best out... Do you really want me to lie and say he's the best ever? That would just be ignorant. This negativity in these forums is the exact reason why so many devs are leaving. PSX makes the best ROMs out, and they are leaving for that exact reason.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] shinesthru:
This isn't the place to criticize another kernel developer, period. That being said, your ignorance is showing: that kernel has been updated a few times this week alone. You just haven't been paying attention. Even so, if you have a problem with how often that developer updates his FREE software, take it up over private message.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jeanmauri90:
Why cant i get this kernel to work with droid kang v9 although other ppl have :( any suggestions ? I have done clean installs and still no luck and left everything in aroma as it comes default and still no luck droidkang is cm based
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nikeman513:
Really? R14 from 3 weeks ago to r15 is multiple updates a week? You and I have different definition of multiple updates weekly. I have fku beta, and paid version and his Google plus page, I've been paying plenty attention. I praised both... Go to the doc and get some xanax, you clearly need it....
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] shinesthru:
This is the last I'll say about it: if you did any reading in the thread, you would know that r15 had been updated to its fifth or sixth iteration, with the most recent just pushed within the last hour. This isn't about me or my need to take "some xanax". You may have not meant to be a jerk, but like I said before, this thread is not the appropriate place to criticize another developers work.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Chochiwpg:
Really enjoying this kernel so far. Great balance of performance and stability. I was just curious about the UV. I just stuck with the option that is given in aroma by default 700 mv I believe? Is this recommended. I just wanted to know what others recommended with regards to bring stable. I am usually not keen on UV so wanted to ask the experts. Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] theesotericone:
Hopefully you chose 750mv which is the default in the installer. Stock is 775mv. So default is pretty conservative at only -25mv. UVing is different for each chipset. Some can go way down. Others not so much. My advice to anyone UVing is start at -12.5 and step it down from there once you find the phone to be stable. Never check "set on boot" in any kernel management app until you are absolutely sure that the voltage is stable. Failure to do so will result in a boot loop. Also I'm pretty sure the this kernel only drops the voltage on the lowest frequency and not on any others. So you should be fine.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Chochiwpg:
Yes it was 750. Thanks for your prompt reply.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] NoobieExtraordinare:
Why would you be a douche, come over to this thread and make a statement like another dev is better. It's like you inviting me over for dinner and I tell you that my neighbor is still the better cook. Seriously Wtf?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Lancez:
in aroma installer, there's an option let u chose use stock ramdisk and use current ramdisk, pick the current ramdisk, it works on cm roms.

Is there any benefit to deleting mpdecision from system/bin, or will this affect performance or battery life?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Moose0704:
WOW, I so just answered this question for you HERE ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bobby janow:
Funny you mention that. I did an extensive search and rescue last night on init.d. I found the post about busybox and had no idea I even needed it, until, of course, I read the OP. So now I know what BB is I'll probably install it although I don't know which one. (I think there are 2 of them) I went back to stock kernel last night and deleted all the elementalx files figuring a clean install would do the trick. So now I'll do BB first and install v38. The awful thing is that my timeout was probably never working and I never realized it. I do use the power button 99% of the time but it's nice to double tap to bring the screen back on quickly if you're reading something. Thanks for the confirmation, I'll edit when I get it reinstalled.

edit: wake_timeout still set at 0. Everything else under android_touch is working fine. Wow this is frustrating.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nadiros:
In what context? There are three levels of throttling control within the installer, with the default choice being the least aggressive. This means cores will throttle at a higher temperature allowing for higher clock speed for longer and more heat of course. Battery consumption, and our opinions about it are so subjective and based on personal use and experience that I could not recommend one setting over the other. Are you a casual user? Do you game a lot? Are they graphically intensive? Are benchmark scores important to you? These are just a few points to consider when choosing a throttling level. Or, just leave it default as flar2 has this baby set to an optimum balance of performance and battery life.[emoji41]

---------- Post added at 07:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 AM ----------

No worrys man, as the ElementalX installer takes care of Busybox for you if you dont have it installed already.[emoji6] Or someone CMIIW?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
i think you may need to install busybox after installing elemental..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bobby janow:
My Jrummy busybox says it's at the current version. I've rebooted the phone about 2 dozen times over the last 2 days trying to figure out why the value wake_timeout won't pull from init.d. Everything else does. There is some value on my device that is conflicting and for something like this I'm not about to wipe my phone. It would be easier to just put my timeout in after a reboot which usually doesn't happen that often. But I'm still willing to try stuff to make it work.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
You're sure the script is executing at boot? What value are you trying to set for wake timeout?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bobby janow:
According to the elementalx.log yes it's being executed. However, the value S2W/DT2W Timeout: is null even though in elementalx.conf it's set to 15. Every other option in the log is correct, i.e. Doubletap2wake fullscreen enabled and USB Fastcharge enabled things like that. It's just this one value that comes back null and therefore puts a 0 in the wake_timeout under android_touch.

edit: sorry I meant since the wake_timeout is 0 then the log reflects no value. Can it be the init.d script that is faulty on my device?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
.38 made a huge difference for me in regards to battery. It's definitely not placebo.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cc16177:
Meaning it was better battery life or worse?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gverma1:
Try 'Busybox on Rails'. Its very simple to install, lightweight and just works. I use 1 minute timeout in the conf file. That works best for me.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bobby janow:
Just a little update. I went into elementalx.conf and changed a value for S2W from 0 to 2 and rebooted. That now works. So it does seem that the script is running just not with the wake_timeout. I have manually added it to the android_touch folder under wake_timeout and now it works. A reboot changes it back to zero. No biggie, it's easy enough to do. Just reporting in case anyone else has the problem (which it doesn't seem like it does) and the easy fix.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nadiros:
Eh maybe I have no business posting this as it's not evidence based, but I'm back to 0.34. I dunno....something just feels right about it. [emoji89] Before it was 0.26 that was the sweet spot.

Love this kernel!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
If this matters, the other user updated to Stericsons busybox

(v1.22.1-Stericson)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
0.38 is a godsend. 86% after seven hours, had 97% at lunch (about three and a half hours after unplugging). Will do some tests with standby mode, but this is considerably better than 0.36.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bobby janow:
That worked. Thanks so much.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] r0cky0790:
People keep talking bout .34, but the changes Flar made to .38 is Identical to that version besides the rab and F2FS. You guys must constantly tweak your devices which in return gives negative results. To each his own....
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
This is true! Also made slight adjustment to the backlight dimmer, but that doesn't affect anything. Otherwise the code is the same.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
Awesome!

Glad you got it worked out :good:

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION], perhaps you can add this to the OP (pretty sure most people don't read the OP anyhow :P )

If anyone has issues with timeout, they would need to re-install (or install as the case maybe) busybox.. preferably Stericsons.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] waallen:
I am not sure what caused it for me. Flashed Vanir+0.38 (default settings other than disabling gboost), got graphical flashes. Flashed 0.34 (express), they disappeared. Flashed 0.38 (express) again over 0.34, I am getting no more screen flashes. I am not sure what to make of it but now everything's good.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] d1n0x:
I have moved to the Nexus 5 from my One X and decided to try this Kernel, since it has been recommended and has a lot of positive reviews. Decided to stay on stock with GravityBox and your Kernel and it is phenomenal! Used the aroma version, UV 725, max freq 1,5 GHz, everything else stock, only fast charge enabled. No lags, no hiccups, no reboots or glitches. Smooth and perfectly stable. This is awesome! Nice work :thumbup:

I'll give it a shot after testing a different kernel :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] olivierg13:
I got these flashes too on 0.34, only a reboot solved the problem and I do not experienced them anymore...

I had just the GPU downclocked to 389 Mhz when it happened, I reverted it back to the stock clock (450 Mhz). I do not know if this could be a coincidence...

Flashes seems weird, like an old Unix system running out of memory and the screen was twisted...
