[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] is there any reason why you choose to use GCC 4.9.1 instead the of the recent 4.9.3 also by Christopher83? It has more fixes and optimisation.

I know it triggers on first startup, it did come up on Lollipop, but not on Kitkat.

Everything else is working on both, the dashboard glitch is only optical, so it's fine.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] C3C076:
Yes, every time I click on spinner. Wonder if it's something that's been fixed in 5.1 as I'm still on 5.0
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
Well, for the little ot of 4.4.4 vs. 5.0 vs. 5.1 for gaming and performance/framerates on this kernel :) I game quite a bit on my N7 with ElX as the kernel of course :) and run on 5.1.1. I have the CPU set at stock which is 1.5 GHz and everything else is pretty much stock. The N7 has a lowly snapdragon 400. I can still play the most demanding games with no issues with the GPU also set at the stock value. There's really no reason to not update to 5.1.1 IMO if you're strictly looking at gaming performance. If you stick to flar's presets, every game I've used has run just fine: Dungeon Hunter, Asphalt 8, GTA, Spectral Souls, Sonic the Hedgehog and so on and I get better battery life than ever without any glitches which means I get to play the games for longer if I have the time. If you're holding off because of xposed, 5.1.1 for me has better battery than 4.4.4 or 5.0 did with xposed. I fall in line with flar's opinion, I've updated my N5, N6, and N7's all to 5.1.1 and been glad I've done so in every case. With ElX as the kernel it really is worth the upgrade.....end of slight ot :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Hatshipuh:
The N7 has a underclocked Snapdragon S600, not a S400.

And I don't have any issues playing games on it either with Lollipop.

On the N5 however things are different for me.

Compared to Kitkat most game framerates are lower while consuming more battery and running hotter.

Tried all available kernel and ROMs, all the same. I don't blame them, rather blame the game developers. Just a pity that games like Marvel Contest of Champions from a not so small dev still run so poorly on Lollipop.

Fun fact: Contest of Champions runs on N7 Lollipop a lot better than on N5 Lollipop, probably because the game uses low quality textures on N7.

I have the stock rom and this firmware. Can I update freely to 5.1? If so, do I have to flash the kernel again after the update? Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
You have to be 100% stock to update to 5.1 unless your using the Factory IMG . Then afterwards you would have to reflash this kernel .

I don't keep up with this N5 thread much anymore ( I don't have one anymore ) so dont know if this is still a problem for some . This was posted in the G+ thread though

I cleaned house , gave some devices to my kids , other I sold. ;) I just have the M7-8, G2 , Note 4 and 2 N6's now . :P
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] walpurgisnacht30:
Oh "just" ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
:) That's a common misconception. If you go and try to look up the chip entering in the specs into the Qualcomm manufacturing website, the specs for the 600 don't match up with what the specs are for the chip in the N7 2013. The specs for the chip in the N7 DO match up with the specs for the 400. I actually pointed that out when the N7 first came out and I don't know if XDA ever changed their listing of N7 specs or not, but it is actually a 400.

Well, aside from all that, the N5 is the wife's daily driver so you might be correct that some games don't run as well on the N5 as on the N7, that I'm not really sure about. But I'd double check background services etc. as those will have as big an impact as anything else on gaming. On 5.1.1 I still use greenify and combine that with Franco's servicely and have really good game performance on both my N6 and N7 with ElX....just a couple things to try if you haven't already :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Hatshipuh:
According to Qualcomms website:

S400 is either Dualcore Krait 300 oder Quadcore A7, N7 runs Quad Krait 300.

S400 runs Adreno 306, N7 runs Adreno 320.

S600 runs Quad Krait 300 and Adreno 320.

What do you mean with misconception?

Tested game performance with clean flash, smallest Gapps possible, nothing installed except the game, so that's that ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Sviborg2241:
Oh come on, specifically added funds to my card to by the app but my freaking bank just figured out to put some kind of new damn commission on internet payments and now I'm out of a few cents to by the kernel app again. Oh well, as if my bank is not run by Satan himself.

Anyway, thanks for the app, great to see it back on rails and hope you won't have any troubles with it later :good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] WatsonDue:
Just bought the new app!:good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
:) Well, to end the off topic, didn't know anybody would care this much or care to debate, look at the 400 pro ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I have a phone running 5.0.2, and it works okay. It's just a standard spinner, not sure why it would have a problem. Very strange.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Hatshipuh:
How is this even a debate:eek: I just wanted a clarification of what you said, but so far it gets just muddier, e.g. 400 Pro, what 400 Pro? There is the S4 Pro, which is the underclocked S600 in the case of the N7, but no 400 Pro.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mrro82:
Love the new app flar. Looks really good. Thanks man!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] C3C076:
Seems to be some low level stuff related to graphics rendering, I suppose.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] effraie:
I don't know if this is the correct place to file a feature request for the app (just bought it, cause I tried elementalx for the first time 2 days ago, and I'm very enthusiastic about it), but I guess if it's not, some of you will be kind enough to point me to the right place.

What will be really great IMHO would be a way to save the config file of the kernel (from the app, even if we still can do it manually), AND an option in the aroma installer for import it when you make a clean install, change ROM, or whatever reason you need to fully reinstall the kernel.

EDIT : Or even better, a hook in the express zip to automagicaly load the config file if it's present in some place on sdcard. But I've no idea if it's doable
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] till22:
I can't seem to add a Paypal account to my Playstore, so I can't buy the app atm. I cannot find the option anymore.. Could anyone help with this? I don't have access to my credit card atm.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
In a little bit of a hurry earlier :) Busy Sunday. Yep the S4 Pro which isn't an underclocked s6. Those are two completely serperate CPU's. You can underclock a device on your own that has an S6, but qualcom does not manufacture an underclocked S6.

Well, my whole point was, is that every game I've tried no my N7 2013 with the S4 pro at stock cpu speed and gpu speeds runs every game I've tried on ElX and a good AOSP rom. If you're having any game stutters at all on any device on 5.1.1 I would suggest keeping the ElX stock settings, run a good stable AOSP rom like slim, chroma, or something similar and check background services with a battery app in combination with greenify and servicely. If you do that combo you really shouldn't see any game lags with the ElX kernel. I'd just make a nand of your kk rom, update your bootloader and try one of the 5.1.1 ROMS I suggested above. :good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Hatshipuh:
Still in a hurry? Indeed Qualcomm doesn't make the S6, Samsung does ;)

Anyways S600's processors have the part numbers 8064x, the same as S4 Pro processors. It's just their way to sell their defective goods :p GPU is still the same as the S600's. Actually you could even say the S600 is just a overclocked S4 Pro variant, all the same Krait 300 cores, as mentioned.

And as I already said before:

Good for you, not good for the games I play, my choices are unfortunately not Lollipop-friendly :silly:

In hindsight, we should really take this to PMs :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] graffix31:
Why can't I find the app? Link please ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] epithetic:
Love the new design & material responsiveness of the app.

One feature suggestion might be an automatic toggle for performance mode - if we can enable powersave mode based on battery, it might be useful to be able to do a similar thing with performance mode (say when plugged in/charging, or when connected to a particular wifi network, where a charger is nearby).
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Hatshipuh:
Even with link you won't see anything until you signed up for beta testing.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
No...and agreed :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] graffix31:
Thanks. I'm in. Bought the app again. Thanks for your work flar. You will always have my support.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Doesn't it basically do that already? Your existing installation settings will be re-installed if you use the express version, it does save your config file and read them during the install.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] effraie:
Either I misunderstood something, or I was not clear enough (which is clearly possible, English being not my native language).

As far as I understood it, the config is saved only if I don't wipe /etc/*

So it's really great as is, but would be even better if there was a automated way to keep my config even if I change my rom completely.

If it's still what happens, well... GREAT and sorry for my useless request. (maybe it's not clearly explained, or maybe I didn't payed enough attention). If it's not, that was my feature request ?

In both cases, thank you for that great piece of software
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Hatshipuh:
It's already doing that by placing a config backup in /sdcard

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
Yes for Chroma and not sure about Euphoria, but I wouldn't see why not ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dkodr:
Something's not right here :) Does anyone know what may be causing these peculiar reports? I've tried resetting the statistics and wiping dalvik/cache.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
There is some scenario that causes that but I'm not quite sure what it is. It might be due to rebooting while the charger is plugged in and there is a race somewhere.

Unplug from the charger, exit the battery screen, go back to the battery screen and reset, then exit the battery screen.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tylog:
You are right.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ben36:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] there's a bug with the new app. If you're not running elementalx kernel it still notifies you of a kernel update available even with the option turned off in the settings

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Syk69:
I left mine charging overnight and wasn't extremely hot when I unplugged it in the morning. Also so far through the day hasn't gotten hot either. I'd try turning it off then on to make sure its not some process that got stuck.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

i've tried installing the kernel multiple times with different configurations, all of them result in a black screen after exiting the aroma installer and rebooting

even set everything to stock
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Get an app like better battery stats and it will show you what was going on. There must have been something keeping it awake

Did you try holding the power button until it restarts and then see if it boots up? On the Nexus 7, sometimes this happened on the first boot after installation. If you just let restart, it would start up from then on.

If that's not the case, then at the end of the installation when it asks if you want to save a log, please save the log and send it to me.

There is also the possibility of ROM incompatibility. Are there ROMs using CAF kernels here (eg: Cyanogenmod)?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] EnzoFr83:
With the 0.4 update, i have a bootloop with the google icon...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] notbrodie:
there are roms using CAF, but I'm not using those. I did try doing a hard reboot, but as soon as it leaves the bootloader, it's a black screen. If no one else has, I'll grab a log later tonight.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
The log would be helpful, then I can see if the script that injects the kernel into the boot.img is failing.

Since two have reported it, I suspect that might be the case.

If it's not installer failing, then I would need /proc/last_kmsg on the very next successful boot (most likely into recovery)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Manya3084:
Everything is working fine with the new kernel, only thing I've noticed is that when I have the 733mhz screen off option on, sometimes when I unlock the phone, it doesn't kick the CPU frequencies back to normal and they stay stuck at 733.

Turning the screen on and off a few times eventually allows the CPU to operate as normal, although I've turned the feature off for now.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fleabeard:
What recovery are you using? I had to update to TWRP 2.6.3.2 to get Cache and Dalvik wipe to work consistently and that caused the same symptom.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] notbrodie:
here's the log i promised:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
No errors from the installer scripts, but there could be a problem with packing the boot.img.

What roms are you guys using? I would like to test myself.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] EnzoFr83:
TWRP 2.6.3.2 too.

But it work with 2803 MHz max finally !

But my N5 is very low because i can choose 300 MHz mini only...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dead0:
any possibility of reducing some of the cpu frequency steps as there seems to be quite a few?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] notbrodie:
I'm running Cataclysm. while it black screens on your kernel, as soon as i flash back to faux, franco, or the LaboDJ kernel, it boots right up

also: using TWRP, if that could be an issue

If your phone is in bootloop or seems dead, hold both volume up and down buttons then hold power button for a little, it'll go into fastboot. Tried myself couple of times.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
It will still be aroma, but it will not try to reuse your existing boot.img

The repacking of the boot.img must be getting screwed up, probably due to the device tree blob used on these newer phones, there are different ways of packing it.

I've got a slight lag.. Very slight lag on latest. More than likely unrelated issue that also popped up is the autocorrect menu using keyboard shows up under the keyboard so I can't select anything. Happens with every keyboard I use including stock after flashing this. Again probably unrelated.. Will research this further. Stock rom
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Syk69:
Oh wow that's interesting. Was only happening to me on cm based roms. I will continue to try and see if it happens to me on aosp based like purity. Maybe there is something in the installer messing up. But I think it started on 0.18 don't think it happened with 0.17 at all. Thanks for the input.

Hi to all, I'm on last Purity ROM, and I tried today this kernel v.19.1.

With it I have problems with apps like Dropbox, with FC on every start of it.

I used default settings apart cool color schemes and extFAT support ON.

One time I restored backup all apps was started correctly. The backup was made before install kernel.

Some idea about it?

Nexus 5 is a lot easier to manage then Motorola Atrix or HTC Desire, for my experience.

Purity is full compatible with this kernel for what I've red and I've no other mods applied.

I think of having found where from comes the problem with the version 0.18--->0.19.1 with slimkat rom. In Settings/TRDS when i choose "manual" I don't have problem anymore with home lag and other .
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Chochiwpg:
I am aware of the changes that are posted in the changelog with regards to v0.18 and v0.19.1. But something else must have changed as well because idle battery drain on v0.18 was great, on v0.19.1 it's amazing.

Still at 94% battery after being off the charger for 8hrs, on LTE (not wifi). That's 6% total drain in 8hrs time. Yes 99% of that time was spent idle, but that's still very impressive idle drain in my opinion. Have not experienced something like it before on Android TBH. :good:
