I posted this to someone else but you also seem to be involved with f2fs. I followed the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59868441&postcount=17215 . Yes im trying to run cataclysm. Everytime i follow these steps both cache/ and data/ revert to ext4 and then if i go back in and reformat them to f2fs i get stuck in a bootloop i love to get this f2fs working as this is my daily driver and it seems to make huge improvements in speed.

Downgrade to 2.8.5.2. TWRP is the problem...

F2fs

I did. sorry bonehead move its booting now and the partitions were still f2fs before booting system so ill reply when it gets done to confirm that cataclysm didnt reformat the partitions. .. it did... i got a black screen so forced shutdown rebooted into recovery now both are reformatted as ext 4 again...wth

ok so apparently the system boots but theres no gui yet it understands to display the object for power off when the power buttons hit as thats the only thing that will come up on screen

F2fs

Heres a logcat i understand theres alot of fatals here but i dont know enough to understand whats causing it except something with ART and java. Attached is a .7z file containing the logcat in .txt due to the upload limit.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] FloGatt:
Seriously, downgrade your TWRP to version 2.8.5.0 and then your problems are gone.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] HoochieCoo:
I had the same problem except just with the cache partition. I was on TWRP 2.8.5.2 at the time. I upgraded to 2.8.6.1 and still cache would reformat to EXT4.

I had about given up. But one day I was playing with different roms and when I was done and restored from backup it stuck. Cache has so far remained F2FS.

No earthly clue why.

Hey Huge Problem here !!

I have been hopelessly trying to install Elemental 2.11 on Cataclysm March 4 beta. But i cant seem to get it to boot. Doing the same thing with Code Blue kernel, boots up just fine. Now the funny thing is, I had been using Elemental 2.10 without any issues on Cataclysm 5.0.1. But after the update, I haven't been able to get it to work even once. I really like Elemental and the fact that I can't install it is killing me. "The system boots... Installing apps... Reboot" . Doesn't even go to the welcome screen. I implore you guys to help me find a solution. BTW I am on TWRP 2.8.5.2. Any help from you kind strangers would be really appreciated.:crying::crying::crying:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cajunzman:
F2fs

I downgraded to 2.8.5.2 ill try 2.8.5.0

---------- Post added at 08:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

When I installed it i just used 2.8.6.1 install the rom then the kernel and you should be done. But to be on the safe side you might not have the radios or something installed so install stock 5.1 using the batch file in the stock google image. Replace recovery with TWRP 2.8.6.1 before running the batch file by renaming it recovery.img and pulling it into the folder. Boot stock once then boot back into recovery flash your custom rom then your kernel and it should work.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Draconius007:
Uhhh... Dude What ??? I know the process and everything. It's just that , flashing works fine. But the installing apps dialog that comes on when you install a new custom rom and boot it for the first time, that finishes and instead of the finishing boot, starting apps dialog..... the phone reboots. How do i solve this ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cajunzman:
i would manually redo everything like steps 10 through 12 here: http://androidforums.com/threads/guide-how-to-flash-a-nexus-factory-image-manually.706533/ as the new cataclysm requires the updated 5.1 radio and boot.img from the stock AOSP.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Soulfly3:
firstly, I hope you mean April 4 beta.

secondly, you need to install the FULL march 31 Beta release FIRST... then once you have that installed, you install the April 4 beta on top.

these are for Android 5.1

once you have these installed you can install elemental.

By the sounds of it, you did not read any of Atlantis's instructions or release notes. If I am misinterpreting your post, and you are doing this, I apologize.... but it sounds to me like youre not doing those VITAL steps.

once u install a kernel in recovery you should NEVER get "installing apps" screen on boot, it should just boot instantly

Install Mar 31 Beta. Boot.

Install April 4 Beta Update. Boot.

Then install Elemental.

see if that works
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dechronic:
I have seen a similar situation to you that when you first install a ROM is formats the /cache & /data to ext4 on the first boot.

What I did to get around that was to:

Install the ROM with it's default kernel, etc.

Let it boot the first time, make sure the gapps and whatever else you need to start off with is installed.

Reboot into TWRP recovery and make a Nandroid backup of the /data partition.

Copy the nandroid backup and everything on your internal SDcard to a computer.

Format the /cache and /data as F2FS.

Copy back the files (including the nandroid backup) to the internal SDcard

Restore the nandroid backup to the /data partition.

You should get a warning along the lines that the backup was from an EXT4 partition. You can safely ignore it and continue the restoration.

Install the dummy kernel file I have attached to this post (based on the stock LMY47I with the ramdisk modified with f2fs entries for the /data & /cache paritions)

Install ElementalX 2.11

Optional: Install latest SuperSU from http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu

Reboot the phone to "SYSTEM"

It should now be booting into Cataclysm with the partitions as f2fs and should remain as f2fs now.

If you have any problems I will try and help when I can.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nmlssit:
Is it possible to set custom performance for a single app? Like App Ops but about CPU freq and ram usage.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Draconius007:
Yes i mean April 4 beta my bad . And well you did kinda misunderstand my post. Do you know that screen on any rom you get after cleaning cache? The small white box which says starting apps right before you boot into the System. I am talking about that. I install 31 March updated sources build. Then i install the 4 April 26mb update. Then I flash elemental. But then after the android logo, the white box appears. And then i wait for 10 minutes and it reboots. So basically an elongated bootloop. I am confused as to why this is happening.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cptscruffy:
You can set cpu settings for specific apps with tasker.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ollidiemaus:
In the past I used setCPU for setting app specific freq.

But Tasker might work too

Hello [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

Could you look into Factory Reset Protection ?

Someone succesfully implemented this feature for our Nexus 5. It's from kernel side afaik

Here is the quote
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
You could do this now by flashing that patched kernel and then flashing elementalx. The changes would be picked up, since I use the existing ramdisk.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Marsou77:
Ok cool thanks :)

But do you plan to update your kernel with this feature in the future ? And if not, after each ROM update will I have to reflash the modified kernel, then yours ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bitdomo:
It is also from android side. You have to edit the build.prop too.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] conquesoextra:
CM12 + Elemental here.

Everything works perfect, i just flashed elemental in twrp and did a wipe caché & davlik.

:)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Sviborg2241:
I have a dumb question, but how do you actually copy all the files back to your phone after formatting the device? Just sideload everything or what?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gaosphappy:
You can do it in twrp recovery. I believe its in advanced/mount you can move files to and from freely.

Good luck

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] wrick17:
If u are dissatisfied, please flash any other kernel. No need to shout how bad you found it to be. There are too many people on this thread who find it otherwise..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cromatn5:
F2FS

Just an information:

Sometime when we flash a F2FS kernel for Ramdisk + ElementalX, at reboot the CPU stays with 4 cores activated. If someone as this problem, just reflash the 2 kernel and it's good.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] MrKaon:
Something is wrong in your phone, otherwise this kernel gives you highest SOT, trust me.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
main problem beside the attitude is that it has nothing to do with the kernel but since you provide neither information about your configuration nor did you read enough about kernels and their max impact on battery life i/we could not help you even if your post were motivating.

EDIT: kernels are not uninstalled, the're flashed over, basic knowledge BTW so if you want to get the most out of your device i strongly recommend you educate yourself before you

throw the most stable and balanced kernel for this device over board.

Hi guys,

I want to run this kernel in combination with euphoria-os and f2fs, i did everything i know and i found on this forum but no success, somethimes i got bootloop and somethimes it boots but i cant use my phone (system ui fc) ...

Its working fine using code blue. Anyone got it working using same rom ?

settings not sticking

I'm running ex2.11 on cataclysm 5.1, my color profiles revert to previous on each restart. I have set it to load on boot.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
With EX app?

They stick for me. Check there aren't others thing trying to change it. Also, wait for a couple minutes after booting, then turn the screen off and on.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tylog:
Never had problems with non color stick and ex app. Most time when i read from isuses i read cataclysm rom, i think most time the problem is there, this doesn't mean the rom is bad, it mean the rom sometimes not 100% compatible with some kernels / features, but solong it's closed source hard to help.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tibby87:
Can someone please provide a link for the latest BETA? The one that flar2 shared isn't working. Thanks!

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cptscruffy:
If it doesn't hold up, convert ex app to system app.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ekowwillis:
It didn't work. Could you show me how to covert the ex app into a system app. Thanks
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cptscruffy:
A few methods here.

Personally I use the app, root uninstaller; i click app in user app list, and it provides some options, one which asks if you want to convert the app to a system app.

Yes and reboot.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Starsream88:
No one ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] MrKaon:
I have otg cable with USB power cable Y splitter, everything working fine except charging part, I can't change the phone while its connected to usb stick.

Is it something related to kernel? (Changing fast charge option doesn't make a difference)

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] janres155:
As far as I remember, one of the problem is multirom compatibility.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] paradoxiumwind:
Possibly a dumb question, but I use franco.kernel / updater, and in the FKU app, when using franco kernel, it allows me to increase the microphone gain so people can actually hear me speak on the phone - I think my case dampens the sound a bit (let's face it the speaker holes in the bottom of the N5 aren't the greatest anyway).

When I use eleX kernel, a few options in FKU are available to tweak, but not the mic gain, would it be possible to have that implemented in a future build? I prefer eleX because the battery life with it rocks compared to franco, but I can't live without being able to boost the mic gain by +10 DB

Thanks,

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] crian:
You should buy the EX app in play store.

You can set up your sound settings with this.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gabrielelucci:
Hi, I've been using this kernel for a while, I think it's awesome and it allowed me to reach 6 SOT over 14h of usage with flawless performance. Although I think there's a problem (or maybe it's normal) with the input_event_* flags in governor option: they don't work at all, the input frequency is always 1267MHz, over 3 full seconds, no matter what values you put.

I think that's way too much, and I'm wondering if there's a way to tweak these values. I'm using EX app atm, elementalx 2.11, cataclysm 5.1. Any ideas? Thank you in advance.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Darkmasterhk:
ex app

Anyone else having problems finding the elementalX app on play store?

On my phone I can't find it, using Google/chrome or the link on the website

I only get the massage: "We're sorry, the requested URL was not found on this server."

"EX" doesn't give very good results, can you link me to it or tell me the longer name?

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cptscruffy:
Googling "elementalx" should yield a google play link to the app.

By the way, I just tried that out and the play store link brings me to item not found in the play store.

It's not showing up in my play store's installed list either atm.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Google removed the app from the play store.

It was because of the selinux setting. I removed the setting, but they killed the app anyway.

Sorry guys, I tried.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] walpurgisnacht30:

What about the guys who have already paid for the app? I have cleaned flashed another rom and found no ElementalX kernel in the Playstore? Are you planing to share the apk file to the people who have bought the app? or reupload the app in PS??
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AA1973:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

Sorry to hear that it got removed. Did you get a warning notice prior to the removal or simply a mail that it got removed?

BTW [MENTION=3575078]mikereidis[/MENTION] was in a similar situation like you. I am not sure, if his app got removed or not, but he had included the SELinux change too. He removed the SELinux change to reverse the ban.

Here is the link to the app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fm.a2d.s2 and here is the xda link

Maybe you could have a chat how to get your app back, if it is possible?

Best regards and best luck

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] SpasilliumNexus:
Wow... they didn't just remove it from the store front, they've completely removed it from the purchase history. SELinux Mode Changer is gone too. So lame.

How about putting it up on Amazon? Or making a limited version with a donate to unlock more options? A PayPal transaction ID to use as the key, like how GravityBox does it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cajunzman:
Elemental

Be sure that DT2W isn't your issue as it significantly reduces battery life. Other than that try underclocking the last two cores and slightly overclock the first two that's how I've gotten the best performance.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] trancinguy:
Sorry bro, still the best kernel app combo.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] crian:
FU Google!

Are you planning to make it downloadable on XDA?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Thanks, I just contacted Mike for advice. But I'm guessing his app didn't get suspended, as the warnings went out on March 31.

Hopefully I can get this sorted out.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
It's not actually the kernel using the battery. In order to use battery, the phone has to be doing something. The kernel doesn't really do much, it just allows the system and apps to access the hardware. If you have better battery stats, go to the partial wakelocks and it will show you what exactly is keeping it awake or using power.

Have you rebooted? It could be a one off thing and that might solve it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cc16177:
This may have been discussed already just wanted to throw it out there.

If music skips for you at all "specifically over Bluetooth" you should turn off the "screen max 1190" setting and that fixes it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DoesntPostAThing:
Or increase the screen off cap to something like 1.5.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
Flar, have you turned off the cooler colors intentionally?

Both 0.19 and 0.19.1 seem to have lost this
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Syk69:
Your data partition is corrupted. Were you using a cm based ROM? You are going to have to flash stock factory image to repair the corruption. Already happened to me, first sign was FC of apps, and any settings of apps were erased, then booting into twrp recovery would ask for password because it wasn't mounting data partition correctly.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] thereal_bigjake:
This kernel caused this problem for me. Flashing a different kernel fixed it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
The cooler colors still work
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Syk69:
You sure it was the kernel? Don't see why it would corrupt data partition, for me it happened after i had tried droidkang ROM which is cm based and other users same thing happened.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Yeah, it wasn't the kernel. I'm not sure why people blame every problem on kernels.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] thereal_bigjake:
It happens only when I flash . 18 is all I know. Flash a different kernel fixes it. Flash .18 again and it happens again so from the evidence I say . 18 caused it.

It may not have but until it happens not using this kernel there's no other evidence for me to go off of.

Everything is fine on .17
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Syk69:
Yeah that's what i thought. Running .19.1 and stable as always and fast with great battery life. Best kernel in my opinion from all custom kernels for best user experience and phone running the way it should.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I just can't think of any reason the kernel would do that. It would have to be the installation and for me to even begin to understand if there's a problem I would need some details. Like what recovery is used, installer log, what ROM, etc.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Syk69:
You havent said if you run a cm based rom, from what i can tell its when flashing cm based rom that corrupts data partition. Its random thougn. What you experience with flashing the kernel and getting the issues is coincidence i think. Once data partition is corrupted you might think its gone but its still there, i would do restore of nandroids and be fine for a little bit and as soon as i got into twrp once again will have data mounting problems. But sometime twrp would boot fine. It got very random.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dakoellis:
I left my cable at the office so I can't check until next Thursday, but when I plug it in and turn off the wifi/data I don't get any network connectivity. I was able to use an app on the play store that shows an IP address, but still no connection
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] thereal_bigjake:
Ya I mentioned it a while back and was ignored so I thought it may have been something else causing it. But like I said changing kernels fixed the problem and then flashing .18 again then it come back.

Anyways I was using the MultiRom twrp recovery and the rom was BS Harmony. I flashed the original boot image from the rom before flashing .18 each time.

I will give .19 a shot and see what happens.

---------- Post added at 06:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 PM ----------

There was nothing random about this though. Using multirom and flashing to a secondary cm based rom.

I have flashed many roms and kernels but if I flash . 18 it happens like clockwork.

It's weird I know. My main rom is the stock rom which came on the device
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
Strange.. Can see a noticeable warmth in colors when flashing 0.19 and 0.19.1

Flashing 0.18 brings it back.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
The only thing I can think of is that versions 0.16 0.17 and 0.18 had slightly lower brightness at the dim end of the range. The cooler colors tweak is otherwise the same.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] anthonyp326:
Seems like if u choose dim option cooler colors are NOT working ..but just my opinion
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
Not really.

Tried with both.. choosing the dimmer brightness options makes the lowest level of brightness a tad lower than normal.

the white balance remains the same
