Why STweaks is better than faux sound? i have never tried it..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] boykomac:
It's not faux sound, there's also faux app for kernel control management

I paid for Trickster Mod Pro but STweaks has more toggles.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GSLEON3:
I think he is essentially asking for no mpd. You can do that buddy, but you may have to deal with wake & SOD issues. I don't know about you, but I have never had any wake/sleep of death issues since the refining of mpd. At least not with stock or Flar's work on any Nexus devices.

BTW, the apps that report current freq's are not really dynamic. They are reading a report fro proc, so they only show what the freq was at the exact time the report was dumped to the specific proc it is querying. The minimum you set is "sticking", believe me, you are just seeing an event that required the max screen off freq, which could have been any number of events. You can always disable mpd, but again, be prepared for wake issues.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] Hi, some questions:

- do you think any other governor would be better than ondemand (i'm thinkin about interactive and conservative)?

- what to do with MPDecision? on or off (trickster)?

- do you consider an option to set different settings for each core? what could be the best settings to improve the battery life?

Thx

I usually leave every thing stock except read ahead (2048) and voltages (-50) across the board. I'm on Franco right now for the color tweak and testing but elementalx is the smoothest kernel I've used on the N5. When s2w and color profiles are added, there will be no compelling reason to use other kernals. (No offense to other devs)

What happened to the 0.5 kernel release [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]? I saw you post in here several days ago saying "I'll probably release it tonight, maybe tomorrow", but that was like 3-4 days ago now... Is it just taking longer then expected, or are you shooting straight for 1.0 now?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I have been doing a lot of testing of sweep2wake with show-p1984, so haven't been working on much else. I've thrown in a few goodies though.

There is one color preset, if you enable it, your screen will be a bit cooler. This is the same as the screen setting from franco's kernel. Otherwise it's same as stock, which is a bit warmer.

There is a backlight dimmer option. If you enable it you will be able to reduce the brightneess on your screen much more than on stock. This is based on the module by [MENTION=5064727]arararagi[/MENTION]. I will look at reducing the overall brightness levels a bit next time.

I've also increased the screen off max frequency to 1190MHz.

Doubletap2wake is working, but we're going to wait and integrate it with showp's new framework. Sweep2wake just got to a usable state this afternoon, so this is a testing release. He is very professional and the code will be much improved.

Download:

ElementalX-N5-0.5 *BETA*

Changes:

-add color presets

-add sweep2wake (thanks [MENTION=4195844]show-p1984[/MENTION])

-dimmer backlight option

-increase default screen off frequency to 1190MHz
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] derukun:
What exactly is screen off max frequency and what does it do? It was giving me lag on a rom when I woke my phone up and unlocked it, so I disabled it on the install..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Lancez:
If you watched video he posted, you probably noticed that he's a married man. So he's got family to take care of. Besides, he said he needs to test it before he put up a download link. So It'll be here when it's here. I for one who's eager to get 0.5 with s2w too, but it's totally up to him.

Wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flash rom, flash gapps. Reboot. It's back on stock kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
You don't need to wipe cache and dalvik, but you can if you want. Reflashing the ROM will restore the stock kernel and undo any changes made by installing this kernel.

That is correct, but there are situations where you might want to do restore the stock ramdisk. For example, if you've installed another custom kernel you can select stock ramdisk to get rid of that kernel's changes.

I recommend using existing ramdisk, and if it doesn't work for some reason using the stock ramdisk option.

[MENTION=842211]Grondinm[/MENTION]

For the usb write problem, did you try other apps? It seems to be a security/permissions issue. Kitkat has really clamped down on writing to anything but the sdcard. Also, for NTFS, NTFS-3g + fuse is much better than the in-kernel one I enabled. I'm sure someone has compiled it for Android.

Thanks for the reply flar, but I still think this is too confusing for the noobs. If I was using cm11 & bricked kernel, neither of these options are going to work. Unless you're using a ROM with the 'stock' kernel you need to reflash your ROM to get YOUR ROMS RAMDISK not the stock one.

You changed this values for better battery or something else?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] v4nt0m:
I've just flashed 24, can you guys share what settings you're using? And is 24 and improvement over 23 battery wise?

With similar battery time and screen time to you guys (on 23) I am looking at around 45% battery rather than 70%, nexus 5 is still only a few days old so not sure if I need some run in time.

Thanks.

Oh kudos to the OP with the cool colours option, you saved me from returning my nexus 5.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] v4nt0m:
Thanks, that's pretty much what I have been using so far other than the undervolting, I left it at stock on 23 and have left it on the default (750 I think) when i installed 24. I'll see how it all goes tomorrow.

Oh there was another question I had, the fullscreen tap2wake function, does anyone know roughly how much battery this uses? I have it enabled as I really like the feature but I'm not sure how to take "significant battery drain" from the op. I had a quick look in the touch controls thread too which is an app that does basically the same thing and they seemed to think that the battery drain was very minimal.

Thanks again and sorry if it's been discussed already in the thread, but you know what big threads are like. :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ollidiemaus:
I think it will be around 3% per hour :(

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Battery result will vary a lot between phones and users. It depends on many factors.

If you want battery life, install the kernel with defaults. For some reason there's a myth going around that elementalx has great standby but drains battery quickly during use. I don't find this to be the case at all. Perhaps this is based on older versions that still used ondemand as default. The current elementalx governor is very light on battery during normal use. Just because I prioritize smoothness and performance doesn't mean it drains battery quickly. The hardware on this phone is so good that we can have our cake and eat it too.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
I've consistently been getting 5-6% battery drain per hour at the max..

i think from 0.17

this is with dt2w enabled..

don't think it'll get much better than this unless google/motorola releases the g2 dt code

am very satisfied anyhow!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] paradoxiumwind:
Suggestion: Could you make it output an elementalx.log file to the sdcard after installing, showing all the options that were selected during installation?

I've already forgotten what settings I used when installing, and it would help make installing newer versions easier to compare with older settings.

Great kernel and works like a charm with cm... I'm having 3% drain which is great consider the 8-9%/H which I had with all other kernels... I wanna ask some questions...

Just to let others know, 0.23 and 0.24 works with Franco's Nexus Display Control app, you can tweak the colors for your device with presets found here

Put the files you download (remove .bin/.txt extension optionally) in sdcard/nexus_display_control/color_profiles and select them in the app (open app once to create the folder) turn screen off and viola

How do I decrease the touch boost freq.

I tried using es file explorer and changed the scaling_min_freq to 442mhz and the permissions are also correct but the settings are not sticking.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
It shouldn't be laggy, but I don't know if it's as smooth as it used to be. Although I'm on the fence about a few commits in 0.24, I think the problem is most likely the latest update to Asphalt itself. I've been using A8 to test all along.

The touch boost frequency is built into a system file, you can't change it.

As for the minimum frequency, you definitely want to leave it at 300MHz for best battery life. There is no gain in performance by increasing it, as the governor will always increase frequency on its own when there is sufficient load on the system.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Grondinm:
Thank you for sharing this. If i may ask which profile do you use?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ninjasalad:
Interesting. What about lowering the minimum freq? Some kernels I've used drop all the way down to 96 MHz. Why's that?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Hi,

96 Mhz minimum CPU freq is very too low in my opinion (also need to see the voltage used for this CPU freq). Maybe some users on another kernel use it without issue (is it sure in all case?) but I don't think there is a real benefit (or at least nothing really noticeable?) and ,maybe, expect some strange behaviors or lags/stutters under certain conditions (I didn't say in all conditions)... And after some users will conplain about some weird things (even if it's set as an option from Flar2, much work to "debug" some issues if a user use it) :D

A CPU running under power (at what he was originally intended like for voltage with undervolt or max CPU freq with overclock for "better performance", but it's another too long debate :D) is not necessarily more efficient about battery life...

And it's not because another kernel have xx feature that this one needs to have it too, ah ah just kidding! :)

Flar2, I remember have used your kernel on my HTC One, it was great :good:

:)

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] Can you answer please
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
As far as I'm aware you have to choose between cooler colors or ability to change colors, you can't have both. You can use the profiles or make your own with that app or spreadsheets but you can't alter cooler colors further. Once enabled it will be reverted by the app since it was considered unsafe
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Sayan1987:
So to use franco app, i have to reflash elementalx and choose stock colors?

Otherwise if now i'm on cooler colors and use franco app, loading a custom preset profile, it won't work?

Hi flar,

What about this

USB host mode charging

I've added a hack to allow usb host mode charging. Since not that many people are going to be using this, it needs to be enabled manually. This will allow you to charge the tablet while a USB peripheral is hooked up to the OTG cable.

It is in your kernel for nexus 7, it would be great in nexus 5 ad well...and we can use qi charging too...
