I read back a couple of pages & found out that people are fighting over what to post & what not to post here. I'm not being any enforcer here but please take these fights to your PM. You say that people lose the interest to search because of spamming & yet you go with the same flow with a couple of more posts of your own adding to the "Spamming" of the thread. Flar2 has clearly stated that the problem is not with the kernel. Respect his words & always read back before posting the same question again. There's no harm trying to find the culprit of the glitches you're getting. But once you come to know that the kernel is not the culprit, stop the discussion here & let the topic go along with the kernel & related issues only. It is us all who need to preserve the hygiene & the rules here. Play your part & things go right. If you're interested in identifying the culprit, go make a thread in the general section, have a poll as to know who faces these issues, take logcats, etc & nail the issue. That's all.

Sorry for reviving an old matter but I hope this post helps to preserve the balance when similar issues arise in the future.

All are fat32 formatted USBs.

And yes one of the non working USB is card reader, and one is USB.. Other two are working fine.. I needed otg very much so switched back to mahdi stock kernel again..... Coz with that all USBs work...idk what's the problem with elementalX.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] akash3656:
There is another way to disable it, but reflashing the kernel is the easiest and safest way to disable it especially if you don't want to use it ever again.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] walpurgisnacht30:
I'm using the stock ElementalX cpu freq and the battery life is still quite good, but not as good as if you disable dt2w.

If you want to disable it, just edit the elementalx.conf file in /etc/elementalx.conf. Read the op for the detail ;)

Don't know what's wrong at your end.. I have 5 pendrives and each of them work perfectly. I've also used a micro sd card reader before and it works perfectly. May be I was lucky enough to have all of them working! :D

I'm on AICP and all I do is attach the drives and use it via ES File Explorer. Even Stickmount won't mount your flash drives?

Do the non working flash drives show up under "Settings-Storage"??

Have you tried "Stickmount"? I find mixing ROMs and kernels breaks native otg so I just forget messing around, flash what I want, and use this app from the playstore.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.stickmount
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Co.Tibi:
It's like this: All standalone usb drives work using stickmount. The problem occurs only when trying to connect a USB card reader. In my case I'm trying to connect a 16GB microsd class 10 using a microsd card (this one: http://www.unitek-products.com/en/product_detail.php?id=268 ). I have elementalx kernel on both n5 n7. On my N7 this particular card reader works flawlessly. On N5 it doesn't (the blue LED on the card reader lights up but very faint). I'm guessing maybe there's not enough power supplied to the card reader. But can [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] fix this?

I'm on stock ROM, no custom recovery, elementalx and gravity box.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] rickyx32:
I had a similar issue where the audio would stop working completely, and I was also unable to play YouTube videos for example and also no able to use Google Now for voice commands, has this happened to you besides the audio not working?

Anyway, I have a similar setup like yours, and the culprit was the stock ROM because when I used Rastakat and now Purity the problem never resurfaces, but when I go back to stock it comes right back at random when I reboot.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
These are all problems on your end. The volume hard key is a perennial problem, not just with this ROM. Clean install and you shouldn't have issues.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Your 1000000% correct in how u should diag an issue , problem is some people don't/won't do it/c it that way and probably never will, there stuck in 'well it worked before I flashed .....So must be the kernels fault ' , kernels get blamed 1st for eveything that gos wrong , its been like that since I came to XDA and all 19 devices since . so personally I try to help people even if I no its not the kernel . but totally agree with u

Hi is there possibility to change min backlight dimmer value? I can't find the answer or instruction anywhere... With other kernels there was possibility to change value in file in this location: /sys/module/lm3630_bl/parameters but now when I try to change it value resets every reboot...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] deadpedal:
Meaning you want to enable or disable the feature? Edit the /etc/elementalx.conf file then reboot or run the elemental init.d script.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] zibiksior:
No I want to change min value of backlight dimmer. Default is 5 I want for example 10
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
When the screen is on, I'm getting phenomenal battery life while doing high intensive things, decent while doing less intensive things, and somewhat poor while the screen is off. I'm running the elementalx governor and sio scheduler -- anything to do with that?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] deadpedal:
Then there isn't a setting you can alter, to my knowledge.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Zorrich:
Just wanted to say I've been running this kernel pretty much since December and couldn't ask for anything else.

Thanks for your work on this kernel. Works perfectly for me.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] szucsgf:
Most ROMs have that option. Alternatively you could use Lux app.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] szucsgf:
Probably either a wakelock or reception issue.

To test for wakelocks download bbs or wakelock detector.

If it's reception, can't do much except maybe flash alternate modems. Go to the N5 modems thread and flash different modems.

Oh, could also be s2w/dt2w. Did you turn those on?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] rickyx32:
Bro, all I do is clean installs, I've done the same flashing procedure countless times, and it's an issue that's only recently shown itself. It only happens on the stock ROM for some reason. I'm not even blaming the kernel since I've also tested older versions where it was never an issue.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] zibiksior:
Yes I know that ROMs has that option but I'm using slimkat and there is option "adjust brightness to sunrise and sunset". That's causes problem at night because than backlight is set to min brightness and it can't be changed. Personally for me its to dark but when I turn off that function backlight is to bright. So if it would be possible to change min backlight brightness in kernel settings I could adjust backlight to my preferences. I hope you understand me now. I were using Franco kernel before and there was such an option. It wasn't working for me to well that why I'm now trying ElementalX. For now its OK but we will see how its gonna work in long term usage;)

Hi all

I bought nexus 5 and i have problem with heating and battery life. Can this kernel help me? :)

My phone has screen on max 3.30h(i used viber, skype, and dolphin(he drain battery 30%)) and 10 h stand buy. When i chatting and browsing my cpu have 47-57 C. If i run antutu he appear 75C. Is this normally for nexus 5 on stock kernel?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tylog:
Flash it, Test it and you find the answer :) but i am sure the answer is yes.

Tapatalk Team SlimRoms
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Joomlar:
Yes for what? :)

Yes for problem with hardwer on my nexus or "yes" that we will solve the problems of the kernel?

I will flash it tommorow because i need charge battery and again test it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tylog:
I don't know what you are using at the moment , stock komplette ? Heat issues can be a kernel problem , but this are things you need testing yourself, this is what i mean , flash the kernel and look if the problems you have fixed :)

It's always a good way to check

~ if apps causing the heat while running in background ( check it with gsam or another app like this )

~ if not test another kernel

Tapatalk Team SlimRoms
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] szucsgf:
Honestly it sounds like your problem is your apps. That would be my guess. A browser shouldn't take 30 per cent. It might be causing a wakelock, or perhaps always running in the background. Use BBS or Wakelock detector to see.

A rogue app will be a rogue app on any kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] hbkekko:
Flashed this Kernel yesterday, left Stock CPU frequency, Undervolt 750 with dt2w enabled (disabled after 30 mins of inactivity)

First day:

4h 25m usage, always in 3G

1h 32m screen on time

9 min calling voice

14m 50s di cpu android system

58%

I've to say that my mobile date are limited to 32kb/s (carrier limitation after 2gb) but i'm always in 3G/H (could this take advantage in battery life?).

What do you think about? :)

Last question: do you think that if i remove d2tw i could pass my maximum 3h e 30m OST in 3G (everything stock)?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AndrasLOHF:
You can still adjust all of your brightness settings a bit further than that. I run SlimKat and have done the same thing to take the minimum brightness up a notch or two.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] atishey23:
No, the USB doesn't show in settings -storage.. But when I was on mahdi stock kernel all USBs use to show up there.

I didn't tried stock mount Coz I thought stick mount help is USB is showed in settings -storage. I'll flash the kernel again and report

Yep normal . stock kernel runs lil warm that's y it throttles all the time , this kernel will "fix" that for u, I haven't throttled once that I no of with it installed and what your describing is what made me run from stock in first place , stock kernel is a great kernel but it has heat issues , elementalx dose not .
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
two independent topics :)

hi,

a) stock kernel would not by itself cause a bad battery life, i've had decent battery life on pure vanilla stock config and therefore

... i agree with others who say that the problem with battery life is not a kernel issue and albeit most certainly ( that would be 1 yes )

... can be improved with this ( and other ) kernels, the main culprit might be in your other components of your overall config.

b) the temp to me does not seem out of the ordinary, i mean benchmarking and 75C is about normal since benchmarking is one of

... the tasks which would make use of your hardware to it's edge and and as far as i know, the termal throttling kicks in around that temp.

... 47-57C using the browser is as well not totally out of the ordinary, while it really matters what exactly you're browsing.

... will probably not get that hot while watching a simple html page and can go bunkers if a lot of java and whatever scripting is

... involved and/or flash or other kinds of videos, often launching automatically in the background. dunno of course the details

... but just get used to the fact that this devide has about 35% more computing power than whatever you probably had before

... and cpu power comes with more heat after all ( beside other nicer effects of course like SPEED ) :) :)

Current Devices:

I9100, PAC-ROM 4.3.1 ( Formerly Omni, PA, Dorimanx, etc. )

N7000, 4.1.2 TouchWizz All Stock ( very motivating to continue flashing custom roms further haha.... )

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
40 or 50C is nothing to worry about, that's normal.Higher clocks generate heat very quickly, so 75 during a benchmark is also nothing to worry about. The phone will automatically shut down if temps become dangerously high.

I remember getting all worked up overclocking my Pentium from 200Mhz to 233MHz, or finally hitting the 1GHz barrier with my Athlon, thinking my computer was going to melt. Now we have a tiny phone running four cores at 2265MHz with barely a heatsink!!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Venomous Viper 119:
The awesomeness is back!! I'm getting almost the same battery life as I used to get on 0.34! Awesome flar! Thank you!

3% battery remaining, 31 hours since last charge, 3:30 hours screen on time. Stock ROM, twrp, elementalx 0.38, greenify, gravitybox, dt2w with 1min timeout and power button enabled..... Loving it!!!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] hbkekko:
How is it possible that with dt2w i can do the same on screen time of the stock one, even if the total time is 3h and half less of the stock kernel? Is because the knock on drain while the screen is off? sorry for n00b question :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bigknowz:
Better Battery

New to Elemental, started with 0.36. There is a definite improvement with 0.38, thanks [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]. 43% after 2 days is awesome, 0.36 got me a bit past 2 days before i had to plug in, 0.38 should get to 3 full days.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] szucsgf:
That's correct, dt2w causes additional battery drain while screen is off.

dt2w keeps your digitizer (touchscreen) on while the screen is off, which drains more battery than if the digitizer were off (like stock kernel). It's a tradeoff: additional idle drain for additional convenience.

Friend of mine just installed 0.38 and now his SMS is broken. Apparently the app either crashed or it timeouts and doesn't send. Any possibility that the kernel flashing causes this? Anyone know a solution?

I would say no, why would kernel break sms app..

This is what I thought, but the last thing he did was send a text and after reinstalling the first thing he did was TRY to send a text. He can receive them but can't send any.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Brushstroke:
Very nice, smooth kernel. I decided to install this with all of the stock settings except for a slight overclock to 2.5Ghz and a slight undervolt to 750, and USB fastcharge enabled. Thank you! :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] granduke:
Does the option to have only the bottom of the screen trigger dt2w save on the battery or is that more to reduce inadvertent screen ons?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jlevy73:
Reduce inadvertent screen ons.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
The phone still has to be awake all the time to detect if you're touching it. Which part of the screen is being used is immaterial.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] siravarice:
I have found that battery life is still very good even with DT2W on. I only use half the screen as I never tap the top half.

Anyone done a direct comparison of the two?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] momomok:
notice that the bootup time seems longer than franco

I have already flashed system.img and boot.img using factory image before installing ElementalX .38

is this normal or is there settings that i can mess with to shorten the bootup time?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Joomlar:
Thank you all.

I flashed elementalx standard version kernel and battery life is much better but heat up is the same as on stock kernel.

Your wakelocks are fine, and temperature looks OK too considering you were installing apps. I wouldn't be worried.

I've been using this kernel for a long time now and it gives me the best battery life. Here's a example of my use yesterday

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] lolcopter:
Why does this matter at all
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Not sure why that would be. It's not something I've noticed because the only time I reboot it is when I test a new kernel version.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bobby janow:
Re: bootup times..

I think it a valid question. There was no complaint merely a question if it was normal. And the answer as I see it is yes it's normal for elementalx. Recently I flashed stock kernel for some testing and the boot times were very noticeably shorter. I'm so used to these boot times that I was taken aback by how quickly the phone booted on stock. But there are none of the enhancements and the longer times are fine for me. But if you were waiting for an important phone call and you needed a reboot then I presume that could matter some.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
I'm not convinced. Stock is obviously going to be faster -- you haven't polluted your entire system and data folder with ROMs and kernels, and it's not trying as hard to do what it has to do, since it's the default kernel and it should accordingly work more responsively with the phone. The reason we flash is not for stability; it's for performance and exceptional battery life.

What I just can't conceive is the bootup times being NOTICEABLY longer than Franco. That doesn't make any sense to me. I'm not in a position to check right now, but if someone gets the chance, I think that an experiment could be interesting (just don't use the initial bootup as an indication).
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bobby janow:
The only problem with booting Franco is that to get back to stock you need to jump through some hoops. Perhaps someone versed in Franco can list the steps. But isn't it great that the only thing we have to talk about today is boot times? The stability of this kernel is amazing. (other than boot times..hehe)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] peecs121:
To even talk about boot time really makes no sense to me. How often do we restart our phones and how does that mean anything in regards to the performance to this excellent kernel? Your talking 20 seconds to 30 Seconds? Who cares? cause when it starts it's the best you could ask for.

Nexus 5 powered by AICP/ElementalX
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Definitely this ^^^^^

I maybe restart once a week. I could care less if it took a minute. Lol
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] notbrodie:
unlike stock or Franco, elementalx performs a TRIM operation on data and cache on every reboot. this will account for the extra few seconds of time

Your temps look fine here and stock . u could UV all steps by -50 should 'fix' it if u really don't like it , but your looking good IMO . if u use a app to try it i recommend fauxclock ,if u wanna do it by script then

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/vdd_table/vdd_levels ( that how I do it ) pm me if u want my script but u would have to modify it for your PVS . I'm kinda picky with any heat on any of my devices so I always do a Lil UV
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] momomok:
That explains why I am having a bit unusual longer bootup time. Just curious - isn't Android able to do TRIM operations in background since 4.3?

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kayl2:
I've had my phone turn off once in my pocket and crash/restart once while using it. I'll be sticking with 0.36 until 0.39 is out :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Venomous Viper 119:
This guy is exactly correct. Why worry about the boot time? If you're so eager to have a quicker boot time then go try the Franco kernel itself!! Why did you even flash this kernel? Tbh, this kernel is far better than Franco's not only in terms of battery life but also performance wise. People report stutter & lag on Tapatalk & some on YouTube. Come r47 of Franco, some ppl still report sod. Though this kernel is my daily driver, I keep track of all the development?. I myself have tried Franco & I have seen lags on Tapatalk & also lower battery life than this kernel with the same UV & same settings. I'm sorry but I mean no disrespect to Franco or his work. Simply put, what I wanted to say is, if you like this kernel then use it. If your worried about a silly boot time thing then just keep off. That's all.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
A friendly reminder that comparing ROMs and kernels in other ROM and kernel threads is kinda frowned upon on XDA.

Its all taste and personal preference anyway.

Comparisons are like "best" threads....unproductive.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] SomeGuyDude:
Comparisons might be pointless, but I'll say that this bad boy is treating my N5 VERY well.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
It is an excellent kernel. ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Venomous Viper 119:
Agreed. But blaming a kernel/ROM for a silly reason bestows a bad feeling upon the users that love it. This shouldn't be done. If you don't like it or something in it, just keep off.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Yours takes longer to boot also ? I Never noticed long boot times , I also haven't tried another kernel in months tho maybe y
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] notbrodie:
I'm not sure. I don't bother timing the bootup. since elex does an implicit trim, that would account for the longer boot time

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bobby janow:
It's noticeably longer than stock, no doubt about it. I think that was the question here, if that was normal. I don't think a dissertation on how this poor guy should leave this forum because he asked a simple question is quite what he had in mind. If boot times are important to you then they're important. If not forget it. No reason to impose your judgment on his needs or desires. As for the reason of trimming, that's very interesting. Thanks for that info.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
A legitimate point was brought up on this topic. Bootups are really not pertinent. If that's your only problem with the kernel, then it must be running augustly.

Please, let's reserve the thread for serious issues that may otherwise be inundated by these minor problems. If an efficient boot is so imperative, just use Greenify or an Xposed module.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Faxx4840:
I dont know a lot about kernel. I was looking for a gold battery life and a good SOT. What settings do I have to do ? Thanks.
