Data partition courupt again

What is happening with this data partition corruption. I got twrp encrypted earlier this week but my OS was booting. Then it got finw on its own. Now again google search was force closing so i rebooted and the OS won't boot and twrp got encrypted. I don't know what causes this but since i flashed the 0.18 then 0.19.1 build this is happening. Maybe because of the multiboot:confused: flar2 if this is a kernel problem please fix soon.:crying:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] c3v1t:
I don't restore system app with TiBu, often I use it only to restore data on user apps. It's written in too much places that could cause problems.. ;)

In this case, afterall, I didn't restore nothing, because it's my first setup of N5, mine is arrived on 23th december... :p

I haven't time to play with it too much...

Have a nice tima, folks

kernel

K been playing with 15 ,18,and 19 last couple days and I'm finding 19 to be the smoothest and fastest with default settings on cataclysm ROM I'm having no stutters no lags no stumbles no nothing that a few have mentioned here. I'm having pretty good battery its pretty much in line with what I get with kernel I came from . Heat is no issue either ( doesn't throttle unless your playing a hard core game ) . would like to c a way to shut off fsync like in build 15 tho , I have always noticed a performance boost with it off in every kernel I've tried . really happy with the kernel thank u !

Cataclysm ROM on ART with bionic patch , nova launcher .
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bantamdraper:
Having a problem here and I don't know how to go about fixing it. I just clean flashed Purity and flashed elementalx 0.19.1, and I went to have a look at the elementalx.conf file and I can't find it anywhere. I looked in /data/local/ and it's not there. Also did a search in ES File Manager and it's nowhere to be found. I reflashed the rom and kernel and still no elementalx.conf file :confused:

EDIT: Ok. looks like my data partition is corrupted. Argh! Going to flash factory image and sort this out before I try it all again
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Sayan1987:
Just fyi, bionic only affect if you running dalvik.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] agentg1001:
I just flashed over franco kernel. It's definitely a kernel issue.. I have no data corruption whatsoever with Franco
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
You shouldn't flash over Franco kernel.

The ramdisk partitions are different and that will screw things up on elemental.

Flash stock rom to get to stock kernel and flash elemental
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Syk69:
Yes that's the correct way. But also something wrong since version 0.18. Like i said previously my suspicion is that if you already have a ROM setup with stock kernel for example and you want to try elemental it will corrupt data partition on reboot to recovery. So lets say you are running cataclysm with stock kernel and flash elemental then boot into system it will be fine but then reboot to recovery it will not mount data in recovery. Or lets say you have elemental already installed , dirty flash ROM, gapps, elemental kernel, boot into system fine then reboot back to recovery and data wont mount in recovery.

At least that's what has been happening from what i noticed since version .18. Any previous version is fine.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Depends on how many threads the game uses. A lot only use two.

Not yet, but will next build to see if that's it.

This option was removed, but will come back in next build.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AndroidBR:
I'm running CM12.1 with ElementalX no other modifications other than the kernel and kernel manager app. 400 dpi was selected out of CM12.1 built in settings. Stock speeds, voltages and ElementalX governor and thermal throttling selected.

On a different subject, audio quality over headphones, why is it that if I change gain or power amp gain, the audio gets sorta distorted and fades in and out...? If I try to change the audio settings while I'm listening to music, things get even worse. Did anyone ever notice that?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] BabboDemonio:
I think flar2 has checked almost all the possible scenarios..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sjknight413:
I believe that's to do with how cm handles audio. The quiet/silent bits of a track will amp up automatically but as soon as anything with volume kicks in it will lower the volume in steps. It sounds awful.

Other than that sometimes if you raise the amp to high I think it will lower it to protect hearing/hardware.

I've seen most people say it doesn't matter but is there any advantages of using mpdecision over the custom hotplug? Tried both and don't really notice a difference.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bland.life:
Somehow I lost the ability to enter TWRP after installing 2.14 via the new app.

Advanced Reboot menu goes to Google load screen, flash once and Google load screen, then back to Android lockscreen.

Trying to enter TWRP via the bootloader option is the same result as well.

I then try going to the bootloader to do a "fastboot erase cache".

Then I successfully manage to go into TWRP, tried to do a clear dalvik and cache.

But TWRP says it cannot mount /cache.

Then I proceed to reboot system.

But it stuck at the bootanimation.

Now I can't enter TWRP or Android proper.

I can only enter the bootloader.

Anyone have any ideas?

EDIT:

Ok, I used "fastboot format cache" and managed to rebuild /cache and regain access to Android.

But still cannot get into TWRP.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
You could either use twrp manager from the play store to reflash your recovery or fastboot flash it through the bootloader or if you have an image on your device use flashify. I'd imagine though if you just reflash recovery all your problems would be solved. ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bland.life:
Thanks for replying :)

Thought I'd be left without ideas for days.

Anyway after doing "fastboot format cache" and successfully regaining access to Android proper I tried going back to TWRP once more via the Advanced Reboot menu option.

And it worked! Didn't need to reflash TWRP.

Now I'm doing a Nandroid onto an external micro SD via a reader.

I'm scared. Hope things have gone back to normal.

Wonder what happened?

(What triggered me to go to recovery is that wireless charging is stopping before done and the phone is strangely hot.

And flar2 mentioned something about "its a good time to clear the cache". Then discovered I can't enter TWRP and the story goes on at my first post.)

EDIT: Looks like things are back to normal. Cleared caches via TWRP and Android boots and its doing the optimizing.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Balino:
Please can someone point me out What f2fs kernel to use before flashing elementalx ?

As known code blue could cause problems, and it does, mpdecision is messed up when booting elementalx on top of it.

Nexus 5 f2fs kernel doesn't boot at all, cause bootloop...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
I've noticed in the past playing with different ROM's/kernels can sometimes bork TWRP for whatever reason. So ya, if you ever have problems accessing TWRP or you notice it acting goofy in the future, that'd be the first thing I do is just reflash TWRP. ;)

I know, there's been a lot of discussion about this. If you purchased the old app you can try to install the old apk manually, you can download it here http://goo.gl/5iPqv5
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Maxamillion:
What kind of standby drain are you guys getting? No matter what I do, the best I can do is around 1.5% per hour. Any tips for reducing this?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
setup dt2w correctly, there are features to deactivate it in time or by powerbutton. drain in idle is between 1-2% per hour if always on.

of course this is a guess since you, like so many did not feel like giving sufficient input to assist in a more than guessing manner :)

if this is not the reason, you have to use better battery stats or similar apps to find the culprit. only thing i can say is that i get 1-2% overnight during 7-9h in idle and therefore can easily conclude that it's userspace and not the kernel, while settings (tunables) are considered userspace for me
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jaibar:
Best you can do is consider yourself lucky... I get 1.5%/hour drain only if I put the device in airplane mode. All other times I'm at 5-8%/hour at best.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
That's crazy. This phone is capable of 0.4% per hour idle drain on wifi.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] silvertrain78:
Yeah, something in your userspace is very awry. With location/Google Now/account syncing enabled my net overnight drain is in the 0.3-0.8%/hr range. Rooted stock ROM & kernel, Wi-Fi & mobile data always on.

Sounds like you have rogue user apps
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Alex240188:
Depends how old your phone is. I've noticed over recent months that my battery has got worse and worse. (I've had since a few months after release)

A couple of weeks ago it got to the point where I was lucky if I could manage 1 hour screen on time before the phone would shut down because of low battery.

I have since replaced the battery and instantly have jumped back to 3.5 hours of screen time (with location on).

Just my 2c but bare in mind how old your phone is when diagnosing a fast draining battery. It could be approaching the end of it's life
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] LiamAtkins90:
Just wondering... Did you claim warranty? Or did you do it yourself? Where did you buy your battery. Thanks for replying.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Alex240188:
Picked it up from Amazon for £15 UK. Fitted myself, there are plenty of YouTube videos to show exactly how to do it. But of course try to rule out other possibilities first.

About freezes in Chrome. I don't use Chrome. But... Surprise!

I got freezes in Opera after installation ElementalX 2.14 to AICP Rom O_o .

I didn't have any freezes with AICP's kernel. And to be clear I used before and use AdAway now.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ACHILLES R32:
Glad that the app is back in the play store. Keep up the good work.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] aavvaallooss:
No freeze with Firefox, for example. AdAway used too
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Stryder5:
Me too. I average 5-8% throughout the day with use. Idle drain is probably at least 2%/hour.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] till22:
May I ask how you get this low; AP mode? I don't get this low unless on AP where I get down to about 0,2/0,3%
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] silvertrain78:
No airplane mode. I use Servicely, and in general try to keep the number of apps on my phone to a minimum. I disable system apps that I don't use, and probably have ~85 user apps. My experience has been that the more I restrict the functionality of the device, the less battery life it gets. It seems counterintuitive, but that's what I've seen. For example, I get better battery life with Google Now & location services enabled than I do without (avg +30 mins SOT per charge cycle).

Overnight, something I notice is that the battery level will bounce back (increase), which is what I mean when I say that the net drain is in that low range. I use GSam Pro to monitor this.

I clean flash factory images manually, and root manually, and generally try to keep tweaks to a minimum (no Xposed, etc). Before the Chrome freezing I used EX kernel, but now I use stock.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I don't do anything, just run stock. I don't have a ton of mods and apps keeping it awake.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] procitysam:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] when I edit things when installing this on AICP, such as max CPU frequency (any option that isn't stock), and I change it so backlight dimmer and USB fast charge are enabled before flashing, the kernel will not boot. I can change the last 2 options with Kernel Adiutor and it seems to work fine, but I cannot change the frequency away from stock with Kernel Adiutor. I feel like something is wrong here because I should be able to edit the frequencies above stock with Adiutor.

Sorry for my ignorance, i just need a few clarification.

The beta version is 2.14, while the stable version is 2.11 as mentioned.

The download URL

http://elementalx.org/devices/nexus-5/

does not have the link for the stable 2.11.

Is it right to assume that everyone just goes along with the latest 2.14 even if beta version? Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Stryder5:
Not sure where you're getting that, but whatever is in this thread's title is the latest stable. In this case, 2.14 is the current stable.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jaibar:
I don't think I have any rogue apps- since I use this phone for work, I actually try to use only apps that I need. Most of them are Google's (docs, keep and the such)- but of course they could well be the problem, even the mighty Google can produce crap sometimes. I do use Google now launcher and like most of us- Google services, which I think have a bundle of things included inside and in my opinion is part of the problem.

Anyway, I got angry of having heavy drain (BBS wouldn't give any helpful info, other than stating powermanagersomething as the main reason for drain- looks like kernel related?), and the last thing I wanted is to clean-reflash again the ROM (Cataclysm).

So I just went into recovery and wiped Dalvik cache (I guess the name is anachronistic nowadays with ART?), booted and let all the apps recompile. Seems to help, although I don't think I understand why. However, it usually takes at least a couple of days to really know where the wind blows (or the battery drains :) ), so I'll wait and see.

One question: I assume the update notifications stuff will only notify me about new ElemX versions for my current android version, right? On 5.1 and 2.11, it's telling me "Could not find compatible version", does that means that there is no new compatible version or that it doesn't recognize my device for versions?

Hey. Guys please tell me, the bad quality of transparencies and shadows (I mean banding) is related to any of the performance improving kernel option? I am using Euphoria OS with ElementalX 2.14, and for example shadows on any of launcher home screen are horribly banding. I remember there was such option lowering transparency quality in old CM11 in performance settings, so I'm asking ;P

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Gorgtech:
Safety first ;) Though the 2.14 Kernel seems to work on 5.1.1 Stock, I´d rather wait for a new update since something feels different. The Stock kernel is more efficient in Vellamo :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
But everything is working fine as usual.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Gorgtech:
The device feels different though. I get higher scores in Vellamo when it comes to measuring the browser performance with the Stock Kernel while ElementalX-2.14 with overclocked CPU is way lower.

Maybe it´s placebo but who knows what Google might have changed with Android 5.1.1 for the Nexus 5 ? Overall, the device feels a lot faster.

Hey guys, anyone here using EX with the latest SlimLP builds? It seems like I'm having some strange issues with hotplugging. Stock mpdecision seems to be missing the stock touchboost (1.2 GHz on four cores for three seconds) and custom hotplug works with a single core being always online instead of two. Just want to verify if I am not the only one with this bug, it might be a ROM-related issue.

F2FS support in fstab

Thanks for all the good work, [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]. I have a quick question/suggestion about F2FS support; is there any technical reason not to edit fstab.hammerhead while customizing the ramdisk to fully support F2FS? All the pieces are in place, except the two extra lines to attempt F2FS mounting on /data and /cache (while preserving ext4 support). To make the process quasi-automatic, I've been adding a few lines to your boot/editramdisk.sh (just before re-packing the ramdisk).

#F2FS on /data
if ! grep -q '/data.*f2fs' /tmp/ramdisk/fstab.hammerhead; then
sed -i 's@.*by-name/userdata.*@/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata /data f2fs rw,noatime,nosuid,nodev,discard,nodiratime,inline_xattr,inline_data,active_logs=4 wait,check,encryptable=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/metadata\n&@' /tmp/ramdisk/fstab.hammerhead
fi

#F2FS on /cache
if ! grep -q '/cache.*f2fs' /tmp/ramdisk/fstab.hammerhead; then
sed -i 's@.*by-name/cache.*@/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/cache /cache f2fs rw,noatime,nosuid,nodev,discard,nodiratime,inline_xattr,inline_data,active_logs=4 wait,check\n&@' /tmp/ramdisk/fstab.hammerhead
fi

I've just used this to customize ElementalX-N5-2.14-express.zip, and now encrypted F2FS /data & /cache with latest Cataclysm doesn't require additional steps.
