Like I said, try different modems. I improved my battery life by finding the modem with the least idle drain for my situation.

I like a bright screen so I use stock auto brightness (actually I really like the modifiable auto brightness on Android L, but that's for the future). I get an average of 5-6 hours screen on time. But I know that's too bright for many people. Lux is a great alternative auto brightness, as recommended above. You can tune it to your liking.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] akash3656:
Its been that way since my first Android phone, the Galaxy Nexus. For some odd reason CM changes the system interfaces from features taken from the community and puts it into their ROM + kernel.

Now when you flash something from the community, the CM UI for changing these system interfaces (such as color or vibration) don't see the CM system interfaces. Therefore, changing them doesn't seem to make any difference.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Haidary.T:
Is it true that this kernel doesn't change anything related to network? On Trinity I get 4 bars on 3G almost all the time on my bed. With EX it varies between 1-3 bars. 4 bars is rare and lasts a few seconds.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] NovaSlim:
Kernel doesn't do anything to radio AFAIK, if you are getting bad signals try reflash modem/change modem.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Maybe trinity has done something for better signal ? , as far as i no this kernel is stock for that stuff .
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I don't mess with the radio and neither does trinity. Should be the same.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Haidary.T:
Guess I experience some strong placebo. Best kernel so far :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Its in poor taste and disrespectful to the devs to do ROM/kernel comparisons in other ROM/kernel threads. Its frowned upon greatly.

(Exception being talking about ROMs in kernel threads and vice versa....but comparing ROM to ROM in a ROM thread, or kernel to kernel in a kernel thread isn't cool)

So you know. ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Haidary.T:
Yeah I thought about it after I posted it but was lazy to edit xD Don't mean to disrespect other kernel devs. Used all of them and all are greatly great :D

I've not looked at morfic's git and neither do I understand any of the work kernel developers do.

But, I can say for certain morfic hasn't and wouldn't add in tweaks like that.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jockson:
Can DT2W be activated while the screen is off? I'm asking because I want to enable it with tasker in certain situations (like received notification for example), however what happens is even if I set it to write "2" into /sys/android_touch/doubletap2wake, it is only activated after I wake the phone manually. Another user has reported it's actually possible but I cannot get it to work.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Noxey:
Exceptionally interested in this. It would all but eliminate the battery drain by turning it on when you need it and disabling it when it's unnecessary.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
But with every minute its on....it will still drain more than if its not enabled at all.

Until it runs off the low voltage core, which will probably never happen....it'll always take a toll on the battery. Someone who gets lots of notifications a day, will mean its still active a lot. ;)

Great feature if you don't mind charging whenever. Terrible if you can't charge for 14 hours at a time...like me at work.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Noxey:
Hmm. I haven't even considered just charging my phone more.. =p. I'm so concerned with battery life even though I have a charger on my desk at work.. Haha.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
If I could charge anytime, I'd have dt2w on for sure!!!

Hey I checked the OP and I can't find the changelog for 1.00

Is it for 4.4.4?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tylog:
4.4.2/4.4.3/4.4.4, you can use it with all of them. 4.4.3===>4.4.4 no kernel changes.

Tapatalk Team SlimRoms
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jockson:
For my usage and the way I would set it up, DT2W would not be activated for more than an hour or so a day, at most 2 hours. Meaning the effect on battery life would be negligible compared to DT2W being turned off. I just can't get it to work although another has reported it works from him on elementalx. Perhaps someone could try it out too...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] hooliganx:
better if you create a option to, when shake device, turn on DT2W. [emoji6]

Anyone having issues with volume stuck at max regardless of adjusting the volume via volume controls or slider?

I am running latest PA release and latest ElementalX 1.02cm. When I flash franco r57 I do not get this volume issue. I reflash EX 1.02 again then I get the issue.

I could be wrong, but PA is AOSP.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] szucsgf:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] giugiu:
I had the same issue. Heavy battery draining. Phone always hot. Use of high frequencies.

I solved flashing the kernel again (the "simple" version with no aroma) , wiping dalvik and cache. Then I used trickstermod to set minimum frequency to 300. (it was set a something like 1000).

Now works like never before. After 10 hours the battery was at 75%.

Ciao

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Then u don't have this kernel installed , or your looking in wrong place it's in etc folder .

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

Your issue was trickster . that other stuff u did wasn't necessary.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sjknight413:
Your minimum frequency wasn't set at 1000, trickstermod reported it as that AT THE TIME.

The way touchboost works in this kernel is that when you touch the screen the min frequency is momentarily raised to 1.2ghz to ensure there are no lags of any sort, it then drops back down to 300 after two seconds or so. With this in mind, when you touched the screen to view the frequency page in trickster it reported the touch boosted min frequency.

I'd wager you actually messed things up by setting the minimum to 300 with an app. This kernel is well made enough that you don't need to use an app of any sort, just flash it and leave it alone.

This is actually the only kernel I have ever used where that is 100% possible!

EDIT: Also, I'm sick of having to keep saying this but stop wiping the dalvik cache and cache upon flashing a kernel. It is completely and utterly unnecessary.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dhalham:
Is anyone having recents button lag? I'm using elemental x with m8

Lol about the wiping dalvik and cache part, I got flamed here once saying its useless to wipe dalvik and cache.

Other than that incident, its still considered a good community :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
I agree it's useless if flashing a kernel.

I generally don't wipe dalvik when dirty flashing a ROM either, unless i have a weird bug.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] RedMaio:
then if I'm flashing this kernel for the first time (I actually am), do I have to wipe anything? (just to be sure, since different users state different opinions)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] panooos:
As long as you don't have a custom kernel on, you don't have to wipe anything. If u have a custom kernel on, just dirty flash your rom before flashing elementalx.

Right.

---------- Post added at 06:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:22 AM ----------

When flashing a new kernel:

1. Clear data of any kernel app you may be using.

2a. If coming from your ROM's default kernel, flash new kernel without wiping anything.

2b. If coming from a previous version of the same kernel (I.e. Just updating kernel), same procedure as 2a.

2c. If coming from different custom kernel, dirty flash your ROM without wiping anything then flash new kernel.

but... if you wanna wipe cache and dalvik... go on. don't hurt your N5. [emoji6]

you only clean data and everything about another kernel, if you use one.

If your phone went swimming, most likely there is more damage than the battery - but his is off topic.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Leviatano:
No
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] szucsgf:
1. Are you charging?

Using your phone while charging creates lots of heat.

2. Did you recently boot your phone?

3. Did you just flash a ROM, particularly a clean flash?

4. Is some app inappropriately keeping your CPU at high frequencies?

These things can result in CPU doing lots of work for a period of time, which creates lots of heat.

5. Is it really warm where you live right now?

Sometimes people overlook obvious explanations.

Have you yet tried simply rebooting your phone and then letting it sit for some time to see if it cools down and stays cool?

Oh and needless to say none of these are kernel problems. This kernel on default settings idles very nicely, keeping CPU at low to medium frequencies or Deep Sleep the vast majority of the time.

I'm also using 4.42 before 4.5 alpha 1 and 4.43 released today. Had some high temps, but that's because everyday is summer in my country. You might want to check if there's any background sync, or maybe that's just your hand. Or, you can reduce the thermal throttle in aroma installer to cooler setting.

Has anyone used franco kernel and elemental x kernel? What do you feel?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sjknight413:
I've always had a terrible experience with Franco kernel, and I don't understand peoples devotion to it.

Elementalx is an excellent kernel, and one that does not need any apps to change settings or any further effort once it's been flashed. You can literally flash and forget about it. It is smooth and battery life is excellent!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ralpheboyo:
Have not used Franco in ages.... At the time the kernel gave very good battery results .... Ex is basically the ultimate balance between battery and performance... It's sooooooo smooth and the battery performance is very good... Perhaps not as good as Franco but then again Franco has not got the smoothness of ex..... It really depends what your requirements are... And how you use your phone....

Install Franco use it for a couple of days... Then install ex... And you will see what I exactly mean and why sooooo many people use and rave about ex.....
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gotzaDroid:
I have, but not with the same ROM. I was using Franco with the stock nexus 5 4.4.4 ROM and did not see any battery gains persay, but it was smooth as glass. Phone didn't run as hot either.

Now I'm on CM11 nightly 15 with elementalX 1.02 and my SOT time has gone from 2.5 hours with stock ROM and Franco to 4 hours. Again, this is apples to oranges here, but the Ex kernel is awesomely smooth too.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] SynnyG:
With my new config (mahdi rom, lot of freezed apps in Titanium Backup, lot of Greenifyed apps), maybe 45 min of heavy game (Simpsons Tapped out), default settings with franco r57, I'm able to hit the 3h SoT (wich is awesome with the gaming session) for 30h of usage. So franco is good to the battery side, and very smooth

I've to test EX with this config but in the past, EX on mahdi rom and less battery friendly settings (ROM and apps setings I mean), I was able to hit the 2h30 of SoT for about 24h of usage, so I'm sure that with my actual config, ElementalX will be very good on the battery side (best than franco !) ! Ah and I've forgotten: EX is smooth like... like... I don't know, there is no comparaison ! Much more than franco ! I will come back at the end of the week to tell my point of vue ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sjknight413:
I'd say 3h screen on on is actually pretty terrible, the Simpsons is not a heavy game by any stretch of the imagination! I'm getting four and a half hours screen on with Elemental with an hours gaming session on deus ex the fall.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] SynnyG:
Yes, I know it's not the most heavy game but everytime I play 15 min to it, it suck 5-8% of battery, not so good for me !

Hum, interresting ! Do you activate D2w with timer and power toogle ? I would like to use this feature but if you've not use this and getting this battery life, I would re think the setings ...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fajarlazuarding:
Nope. I'm not using xposed. I changed the value in elementalX.conf file, maybe should reflash the kernel and setup directly from aroma, anyway thanks ?

I used to use franco back there on nexus4. Been my fav one. But now it seems on nexus5 fk got a little 'screw'. I don't know if it is placebo or not. EX is my first kernel on nexus5 and still be the best. This is the real flash and forget kernel though lol. Thanks [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]!
