Flash stock system and then elemental x, the important thing is to flash stock system not stock kernel before the custom one
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] adityameena26:
What command is used to flash system.img only in fastboot?

Sorry for being noob..my device is in fastboot mode..so thought to ask here directly as this is less time consuming than reading whole thread..:)

Just downloaded the zip file you gave me the link..there isnt any file named 'system.img'

there are four files when I opened zip file"

1)system (folder)

2)Meta INF (folder)

3)radio.img

4)boot.img

what to do now?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Techimplant:
Don't unzip it.. Just copy it to your phone's storage and flash it via recovery.. Do wipe cache and dalvik in recovery before flashing ..

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] adityameena26:
that wont remove apps and data?

and please tell me..what to wipe and what not?

I want to flash it because I want to flash elementalX after this without loosing anything..thanks a lot in advance :)

How did u install Franco?

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] adityameena26:
I was totally stock that time..unlocked bootloader..flashed recovery and installed franco zip from sdcard..but before installing elementalX..I am told to return to stock and then flash elementalX..but I think flashing stock rom will erase everything..so I am asking any way to install stock rom without wiping anything..correct me if I am wrong anywhere :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mnhs1010:
One thing want to know!

Is the wake gestures consume same battery like standard s2w dt2w?

Even consume the battery? If am not using any action from wake gestures?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Techimplant:
That's what u have to do now..

"Install stock Rom zip from SD card" and u have already Downloaded it..

Before that:

Wipe Dalvik

Wipe cache

Both of these in the recovery itself.

Then proceed with flashing your zip

N NO it won't erase anything..

Is this after flashing this kernel???
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I've released 13 kernel versionversions on several devices this week. I simply haven't had time.

That's not a kernel problem and you need to give it longer. Without s2w/dt2w and wake gestures enabled, you will get better battery life on EX.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] peecs121:
I'm running the newest version on the latest AICP Rom 4.4.3 and have had not 1 reboot or 1 issue. I'm undervolted and also I use the read ahead at 2048 for the passed month with every ElementalX release and never have any issues. It's the perfect kernel with amazing battery life

38 is not good for me, very bad battery so I went back to 36

I didn't know there is .42 (since .37 isn't available for CM). Thanks

Is anyone else experiencing problems with wake gestures? I can't get it to work no matter what I do.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
no it's an xposed module, i hinted to him at that but he thinks it's the kernel which it isn't, this instead of taking the hint and

disabling modules to find the culprit, just because it's not exactly that module which was the culprit in my case. however there

are many other modules which perform the same and/or similar tasks and it started after the new cm theme engine was merged.

could be one of the gravity box mods or anything interfering with the theme engine, symptoms were identical in my case, mostly

happened when installing apps, freezing or unfreezing apps as well as while doing anything with rom toolbox app manager.

i say 100% it's a module and the earlier you start looking into that direction the earlier you get rid of that problem, thus it's not necessary

to fill 2 threads with that problem where the solution ( direction ) has been mentioned.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Holer Togni:
To be exact, almost all custom ROMs delivered as a zip contain the /system partition as a directory with individual files AND the kernel as a partition image.

So in order to "dirty" flash the factory image as you would do with a custom ROM you'd need to flash both system.img and boot.img with fastboot.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
No errors from kernel
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] pikachukaki:
Then from what? Rom?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
ROM, app, xposed module, bad settings. Could be lots of things.

Why not wipe and reinstall? That will solve it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bobby janow:
Regarding battery life I was having some issues. I put location on device only which stopped my nplwakelocks which was major. But I was getting ridiculous drain with something called AudioIn googlequicksearchbox. I found an article about turning off hotword detection in google now and it completely stopped although I still get some of the partial wakelocks for the quicksearchbox and Check in Service for Google play. So I'm on a mission to squash these partial wakelocks without rendering the device useless. When I use maps or location recording I have to change the location settings but that's not a daily thing and it's worth the few seconds it takes to go into settings. If anyone knows how to kill the check in service, other than turning off Google sync, please let me know. I'm on a search now.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] pikachukaki:
ok thanks....btw now that i found you.....do you know how much "battery save location setting" drains the battery???
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bobby janow:
Well I have found the moniker battery saving a misnomer. Check partial wakelocks, which to me are the only thing that matters much, and you'll see nplwakelock eating your battery like a hungry wolf. Turn on device only and it's gone. But there are other services that might need network location and such so you'll have to weigh that too. I turn all location and history off so I really don't need high accuracy or network.

After updating to 4.4.3 and getting phone back to how I want it and testing stock and this kernel it did take more than a few days to get pre 4.4.3 battery life FOR ME . so anyone that's having issues with battery and can't find anything wrong give it a few more cycles ;)

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
There is a pretty big performance increase with this kernel , use stock kernel few days then this one and u will notice instantly , but biggest thing I like is that this kernel doesn't throttle because it never gets hot enough to do so ,so there's no throttling messing up your experience , just install and forget ;) I do run it OC 1 step( 2342) and only UV first and last step by -50.

I just got 5hrs SOT entirely on 1-2 bars of LTE. not sure if it's due to elex or 4.4.3, but color me very happy
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] leafs44:
Battery saving used to be fine on the battery, then a google search update caused all these wakelocks... Sucks
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Definitely not because of 4.4.3 , the battery on that kernel is really bad, still have one of my N5's on stock for comparisons and its pretty ugly for me .
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] notbrodie:
I feel like the updated radio really improved mobile data drain, but increased wifi drain. it seems like I get better results on LTE now with the .50 radio
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
The error is vague: hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1

I'm not sure what the problem is. I made a lot of upstream updates to the usb subsystem, one of them must have made it incompatible with your specific cardreader.

I don't want to undo all those commits and risk screwing something else up, since the kernel is running so well, and you're the only one reporting this specific problem

I think the easiest solution might be to get a different card reader. I bought one at the dollar store today, for literally $1, and it works fine, as does my other cardreader, and numerous usb sticks.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
I havent tested like that so not sure , my usage is basically the same from day to day I kinda just judge that way :) but I'm getting about the same now as a whole but took a few days .

.50 radio ? 2.0.50.1.13 right ? I no my signal is much better now I actually have green bars in battery stats now :D

whatever the 4.4.3 radio is. I thought it was .50

Dunno , I'm OC and no matter what I do it barley gets warm and battery gos forever 4+ sot ( for my use that's a lot ) , stock kernel starts heat throttling few min after using it ( on two nexus 5's I have ) and battery might get 2.5 sot , .

but once u get it running correctly ull see how much better battery is .

Thanks for looking into it and sorry if I've been an annoyance. To anyone else, does anyone use elementalX with the Menova mini card reader? I'd like to know because I want to buy one and it has to work. I already bought a couple that don't work with elementalX. Thanks

Is anyone else having problems with fast charging?

Some context: I know my laptop supports fast charging because I have been able to enable it once on Franco kernel. After updating it, though, I lost the ability. On ElementalX, I've tried to enable it, too, in the Aroma installer, Kernel Tweaker, and the Performance tab under CarbonROM, and no dice. It still connects as a media device.

Is this a known issue and is anyone else having problems with it, or am I the only one who's experiencing this?

When FastCharge is enabled on a (my) Nexus 5... It still connects as media device _but_ you have the higher current from usb cable. You can test it with a current app in the store.

Can't imagine why your phone is getting that warm. I'm running latest version without hotplugging and it's fine...

Have you tried to tick the cooler or coolest option in the aroma installer'?

Always remember if you have franco kernel running to flash your rom dirty before installing elementalx.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Gorgtech:
You don´t really have to flash a complete ROM, depending on the changes made by other custom kernel, you can simply flash a stock kernel to obtain a clean Ramdisk :good:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jumparound246:
I don't know how many times it was said by now...:

Franco's kernel does also change some files that will NOT be overwritten if you only flash stock kernel on top. You can read in francos op which files you have to rename to get back to stock after flashing stock kernel only. Also elementalx is NOT completely gone if you only flash stock kernel on top.

It's always better to do a dirty flash of your rom. Problems like heat problems mentioned by [MENTION=826301]Blue1k[/MENTION] can easily be caused by flashing ONLY on top of another custom kernel.

My heat problem wasn't because of another kernel leftover. I came from stock. And I never dirty flash. I installed vomers stock 4.4.3 ROM with full wipe. I only use elemental or stock. Not sure why

Edit. I only seem to notice this running art. Dalvik is perfectly fine
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Lancez:
which explains why you are having head problem, ART on N5 is just an experiment. not saying it IS the cause, but the phone heat up really fast when you enable ART the first time.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Blue1k:
Ah thanks. Ya aware it's still a beta run time. Just never heard of anyone else having this issue with art. Stock with art is fine.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
That's normal. Fastcharge doesn't force AC mode, I just increased the current limit. That way it still works normally when you plug it into a USB port. It just charges faster (assuming your USB port can deliver more than 0.5A)

It was added on 0.39 I think. Nothing the end user will notice.

There is no pocket detection by default. This needs to be implemented in usersapce. Apparently some add ons have the same effect as pocket detection, buy I haven't used any so can't make a recommendation.

There are a million things other than the kernel that could cause that. The basic point I'm trying to make is you can't judge battery life without using the kernel for a few days.

When it comes to battery life, the kernel is only one of many factors, including background processes, rogue apps, signal strength, whether you are on mobile or wifi, what apps you use, ambient temperature, and even the battery gauge itself. That's why you have to test over at least two or three cycles, to even out these other influences. Every kernel dev hates it when people install a kernel, use it for a few hours and then make proclamations about battery life.

The main thing on a kernel that affects battery life is the CPU governor. CPU governor has by far the most effect during usage, and usage is where the vast majority of battery is consumed, and thus the most effect on screen time. That's why franco endlessly tweaks interactive, faux has intellidemand and I have the elementalx governor. You have to balance performance vs power consumption.

Idle drain will be similar on all decent kernels (including stock). You can update subsystems and add all kinds of scheduling patches and other tweaks, these will only save a few percent per day in terms of idle drain. I get 0.2-0.3% per hour on EX and 0.3-0.4% per hour on stock 4.4.3, tested over 24 hours+ not using the phone (I have that luxury since I have three excellent phones for daily use)
