@ flar2

I have been using your Kernel for the N5, the N6 and the N9 since they were availabe. Loved their functionality and stability. I also used OC from the begin on --> 2,8 GHZ both on N5 and N6 and only for the N5 with a slight bump in Voltage for the highest frequencies.

Evertything was perfect until version 2.05 or 2.08 --> with stock Android 5.0.1 (LRX22C) I reached 1100 Points in Single Core and more than 3.470 Points in Multi Core in Geekbench 3.

Now with Stock 5.1.0 (LMY47I) and ElementalX 2.11 and identical settings I get nearly same scores in Single Core but only 2600 Points in Multi Core --> this is more or less the score that a default clocked N5 would reach in Multi Core. I double checked this with a complete reinstall (factory flash) and with an 2nd device - with identical images and settings.

I checked the maximum clock via your app and it shows the 2.8 GHZ as maximum clock.

For me it seems that the 2.8 GHZ are only active for Single Core tasks --> How can I revert to the "old scores" --> 2.8 GHZ for all cores

Have you changed anything in this respect?

Kindest regards

Sorry for the OT.

After dealing with another dev of another kernel in another place asking for a tip about his product, I made the conclusion that [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] should deserve a donation just for his good and always polite attitude with its users.

I just wanted to share that thought.

Hi folks.

I'm on stock 5.1, and I'm trying to taste this magnific kernel, but I can't!

Flashed it with stock parameters, and it doesn't boot.

It shows Google and the opened lock, but doesn't gets bootanimation, it simply reboots and show up Google and opened lock again, and again.

Any clue to solve this?

Best regards.

EDIT: Using TWRP 2.8.6.0

Kernel setups

When i set up sound control in elementalX app, after first calling, my speaker setup is default, how fix this problem?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] t3al:
TWRP 2.8.6.0 is faulty. Use 2.8.6.1
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
Do you mean the settings don't stick or it doesn't change how your volume settings appear when you hit the volume buttons. If it's the first it could be ROM related or could be you need to wipe app data and uninstall/reinstall the app to see if that fixes it. If it's the second then it doesn't change what you physically see on the sliders when pushing your volume buttons, it just works in the background ;)

Can anyone tell me the version of this kernel to use with Flyme OS 4.1.3 (4.4.4)?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Stock ROM, all elementalx defaults except I enable s2w with a wake timeout of 30 min and USB fastcharge. This means I use elementalx governor, mpdecision and stock frequencies and voltages.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Express installer always overwrites my changed in elementalx.conf file.

What i want to do is change max frequency to see how far i can go. I don't want to go through whole aroma wizard every time.

Can i do this somehow?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
The way it's supposed to work (maybe something got broken along the way?):

/etc/elementalx.conf is copied to /sdcard/.elementalx.backup at every boot.

During express install, it checks to see if /sdcard/.elementalx.backup exists. If so, these settings are used for the installation and it is copied to /etc/elementalx.conf.. If not found, default settings are applied and an elementalx.conf with default settings is copied to /etc/elementalx.conf.

What could be happening is that you are booting up, editing /etc/elementalx.conf with new frequencies, then rebooting and running the express install. The express install is then looking at /sdcard/.elementalx.backup and applying those previous values instead of the /etc/elementalx.conf you just edited. Since you didn't reboot the system between installations, the edited /etc/elementalx.conf was never copied to /sdcard/.elementalx.conf.

tldr: edit /sdcard/.elementalx.backup
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Yep i was editing the file in the /etc. Now i edited the one in the sdcard and it works.

Thanks [emoji2]
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] twqwctf:
question: if you just edit /etc/elementalx.conf directly then reboot normally, does this change the kernel settings? Or must you reflash the .zip? I'm fairly new to this and assumed editing /etc/elementalx.conf and reboot would affect change.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] procitysam:
v2.1.1 doesn't boot on AICP build 05/06, it gets past the Google logo, begins the boot animation, freezes before one cycle of it, goes to a black screen, comes back to the boot animation, gets through 1 and a half cycles of it, freezes, and goes back to the Google logo.

EDIT: I'm running TWRP 2.8.6.1, only changed the max freq of CPU, turned on USB fastcharge and Backlight Dimmer.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] szucsgf:
Editing then rebooting will change settings. No need to reflash.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Stryder5:
Is it aosp rom? If so, did you make sure you're using stock kernel before flashing this one?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] procitysam:
AICP is based off of CM AOSP if it's not hammerheadcaf, which I'm not using. I don't have a flashable zip for the stock hammerhead kernel so I flashed EX after flashing AICP and before booting.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Stryder5:
CM is caf, AOSP isn't. Not sure what CM AOSP is. You should probably check the rom thread for clarification. Also, if ACIP doesn't use stock kernel, then you'll need to flash that too.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] procitysam:
CM has hammerhead and hammerheadcaf. Hammerhead is based on AOSP while hammerheadcaf is based on CAF, and last I heard support was dropped for it.

AICP uses modified hammerhead kernel from CM, and I do not have a flashable stock kernel to use, and I'm not sure if that would boot.

EDIT: AICP also has hammerhead and hammerheadcaf, and I am on hammerhead.

Only thing I noticed is that my settings don't stick
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I haven't changed anything, and all your cores should be running at top speed unless thermal throttling kicks in. It's likely something has changed in the later Android version that affects the multitask score. I don't know what criteria are used to determine the multitask score. It could even be a difference in the benchmarking software between Android version. Overall, I wouldn't put much stock in benchmark scores. They do have their place if you know exactly what you trying to measure and take a scientific approach, controlling for all the conditions that may affect the score. The OS is definitely one of those factors.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
The aroma settings work flawlessly when ElementalX is the last thing you install. If you are having problems, something is interfering, or soemthing has gotten screwed up along the way (like missing busybox or elementalx.conf was deleted or something). These things can happen easily when you start switching ROMs, kernels, making and restoring backups and installing different kernel apps.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] thasarkastic1:
Would it be an issue if I made the app an system app?

Just a heads up...

I installed a different kernel (code blue) to test something out for my app, and found that a dirty flash of system is absolutely necessary to come back to elementalx.

Even though I restored my boot.img from back up and then ran the elementalx installer, touch boost was not working. And not only that, battery was draining terribly (like 2% per hour idle drain, where my normal drain is consistently 0.4%).

My installer replaces /system/lib/hw/power.msm8974.so and gives it the proper permissions, but apparently that's not enough. I'm not sure what else changed, or what is necessary to get things working right. But a dirty flash did the trick.

For you guys that flash a lot of stuff, I just wanted to highlight the absolute importance of a nice clean system before installing elementalx.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jbowwow02:
I usually back up system and boot partitions using FlashFire before flashing anything serious. And anyways, who would stop using this kernel?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] shawnaye:
Hey, is there no way to adjust color profiles on elemental?

My screen looks very bad compared to say, uber.

Somehow changing the values doesn't change the screen at all.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] swat4samp:
You can either use Franco display control or kernel adiutor to change gamma profiles. You can even select cool color profile in aroma installer.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
And of course the elementalx app will allow you to change all the color parameters as well as save and load your own profiles. If you have it. And if you don't have it, you'll be able to get it this weekend.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bruc0:
So what is the correct procedure to flash ElementalX with f2fs (on /data and /cache)?

P.S. I did this:

Full wipe, Flash ROM (Cataclysm), Flash f2fs kernel (code_blue), Flash ElementalX and finaly boot.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] luckana:
Tried to flash the kernel, booted up with Systemui crash, can't even enter the system. Why is that, i did everything in order
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] szucsgf:
Make sure you "stock" colors and not "cooler" colors in Aroma. Cooler colors conflicts with gamma profiles.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Sviborg2241:
Now I'm just curious, can there be any possible conflicts with Chroma ROM? It comes with Franco pre-installed, but so far I had no kernel-related issues after swithcing it to ElementalX.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] russian392:
Will elemental x work on cm12.1 nightlies? [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

I'm not sure. Franco used to remove system files, but I think he tries to avoid that now.

I think so
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] infatality:
Is it fine to use the express version instead of aroma version for 1st time flashing this kernel? [emoji5]
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Moh Kohn:
It has something to do with sepolicies, there is a file to flash after you install a different kernel.

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-t809QDuG_bMWxWUjZSbENiUFk/edit?usp=docslist_api
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] shawnaye:
I didn't press any extras during installation.

So yeah, quite strange my gamma profiles aren't changing.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] swat4samp:
So other than selinux policies, are there any other conflicts? I dirty flash elemental on chroma everytime and as far as i can tell, everything works fine.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
I've seen comments in the Chroma thread a bit back, if you want the particulars you can search their thread, but ElX is one of the few kernels you don't need to flash the zip with. I've used the last few versions of Chroma + ElX without flashing the extra kernel zip and ran just fine. In my experience and according to zephiK you shouldn't have any problems running ElX on Chroma. ;)

Oh :) and the kernel zip is only for the N6 anyways, you don't need the zip at all on the N5.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] marco2012:
Yes, I think the express version should work ad well for first time, as it sets the default parameters, but it's recommended to use the aroma installer for first time installation.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DeepSleep85:
Also on f2fs here. Is the above the correct procedure to flash?

bootloop on stock and cataclysm (latest stable)

Hi all,

Previously to the update to android 5.1, I was on stock+ElementalX and had superb battery life! 1-1,5 days was never a problem.

However, after the update (by flashing factory images) I wasn't able to install ElementalX 2.11 due to a boot loop...

After some weeks with stock kernel and less than 8h with a full charge, I wondered if switching to a custom rom like cataclysm would enable me to install ElementalX 2.11 again to have my sweet battery life back again.

However, I am also not able to install ElementalX 2.11 with the latest stable Cataclysm ROM installed...

In AROMA I always use default settings, except for fast charge.

Anybody experiencing the same or can help? Please?

Is this the same problem as the old app? The sound settings were always a bit out of control. Are you using franco or EX kernel?

The old app will still notify you of new kernel releases. Luckily that part is mostly handled on the server side.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sjknight413:
I'm using EX :)

The sound settings stuck for me on the old app regardless of whether I opened the app back up or not, they always locked and stayed locked.

The new app just unlocks and reverts the sound settings whenever you open the sound page. Definitely didn't happen on the old app but i appreciate it's probably a hard issue to pin down.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] not sure if this is a bug or what but it was happening with the old apk...

Max screen frequency sticks at 1.2 MHz after reboot, despite putting it 1036 & 960 and clicking the set on boot icon..

Is this related to me having the Max screen frequency enabled during the aroma? If I disable it upon installation will this fix the issue? Or just ramp the CPU up to the max frequency more often (which is what I thought)
