[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
Some ROMs have a built in bootloader check. So, it's not a kernel issue. What you'll want to do is ask [MENTION=5373714]freak_97[/MENTION] if he has a bootloader checker and if he does if he can update it. Actually if you look in the slim builder collective thread and look at a builder Ezio's posts, 4 or 5 days ago he explained how to go into the ROM zip on your phone and disable the check. You won't get any kind of ROM problems from doing that it will just allow to get around the check. ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Some ROMs also require permissive mode. IN which case, flash the permissive zip in the OP.

Latest ElementalX kernel is working fine :)

No strange behaviour here and no signs of any memory leaks spotted ;)

Finally the n5 feels like a snappy device again after the lp update... Everyone who is still on kk i think it's safe to say that now you can switch over
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
Oopse, forgot that one :) Yep if it's bootloader checker it'll fail to flash in TWRP. If it's selinux it'll flash but you'll get a system ui fc. ;)

Also, the EX kernel manager had some problem, because now it says its up to date, before it said something about not being able to check.. but
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Flyview:
Nice, thanks for the new version! Is there any way to have the backlight dimmer only set low values when manually setting the backlight? The dimming of the screen after the time out is also very dim now. During the day this dimming looks like it's off!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
You can set the minimum brightness level with EX Kernel Manager
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Flyview:
Can you set it for dimming specifically? I like the low birghtness level at night, but I don't want it to affect the dimming brightness. I guess the dim brightness just sets the lowest brightness level allowed by the kernel?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Senolis:
Hey guys.

Sorry for another question. When I update the Kernel, should I do a factory reset? And actually, when is the option "Factory Reset" is needed most? After flashing rom, kernel or what else?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
It sets the lowest level allowed when dimmer is enabled.

I never factory reset, no need. That will get rid of all your photos and stuff.

If you want a clean install, just wipe data in recovery. It will wipe data but not your sdcard.

After some hours, v4.00 is just excellent.

However, the EX kernel manager app has a newer version bug (it's telling me that there's a newer version (v2.14) and to install it.. I know that 4.00 isn't still on the app but why is it recognizing 2.14 as a new version?).

Also when it says "UPDATE AVAILABLE! CLICK TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL" it doesn't tell you what version it is going to install :(, only the notification that appears sometimes tells the version.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] BabboDemonio:
With version 4.00 the lag problem in Chrome is gone, at least for me. Good work
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] silvertrain78:
Hate to be the Debbie-downer, but Chrome freezes are still there on my N5 (rooted stock ROM w/Adaway, EX 4.0). First thing I did after installing was wipe dalvik & cache, reboot, then went to NY Times mobile on Chrome. That's where the freezes were always most prevalent before, and within 3 mins a freeze occurred.

Anyone know if Bluetooth headset works in the last version? because in previous version it doesn't

Tried my Bluetooth headset this afternoon with 4.00 and it seemed to work just fine. What problem were you having?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AndresOrue:
The headset show me connected to Bluetooth but the sound is listening from the speaker and not from the the headset
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mattbta:
flar2 ... Just flashed and do not observe a single freeze/lag. Not sure if you changed anything, but with stock ramdisk and your kernel, I'm back to flying. Feels like a different device. So smooth. Glad I bought both apps. Cheers mate.

He say, this is test version and he doesn't pusshed for EX Kernel manager so this is why app notice 2.14 is latest

Problem with MpDecision, and Thermal Gov

Quick question.

So I updated to v4.00, and now it says mpdecision is disabled, and everytime i click mpdecision for the hotplug, the setting remains on disabled. I have not changed any setting during installer. the setting also messes up on the thermal control. I cannot click on ElementalX, it just stays on stock. ﻿

---------- Post added at 11:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 PM ----------

Edit #1 - I have tried another kernel, and Trickster mod. Appears to be doing the same thing, and automatically shutting off mpdecision, which i find odd. Tomorrow im going to make a backup, and factory reset to see if it solves the problem.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

With 4.0, The Max CPU is stick at 2.2Ghz all the time, no problem with it this time. I got the smoothness in home (Nova) and other light apps..

But when using the internet (Dolphin, Opera, chome), lag appears (lag in scroll and lag when pulling down the notification bar..) especially when surfing the "heavy" website like tinhte.vn. And of course it's lag in game.

Previous versions of EX Kernel got problem with CPU max but no lag when browsing web.

Went back to...2.08 again. After dirty flashing Dolphin is now smooth...

But I notice that the Max CPU is automatically set to 1.5Ghz @_@ even though I choose 2.2 in the innitial setup in recovery

And I cannot choose any higher level of Max CPU with Ex kernel manager unless I change the thermal option.

But when I jump to the game, the Max CPU is automatically set to 1.5 and even 1.1

Really confused!

:(
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dox81:
I had this behaviour also.. if you have more than one app to control the kernel, uninstall them. I had kernel adiutor & 3c toolbox. I freezed kernel adiutor and all is ok now. Settings don't automatically change anymore.

Cataclysm LMY48B and Ex v4.00:

Performance&battery wise feels to me quite the same as v2.11 and 2.14, which is a good thing.

It is just my subjective feeling, of course,as I refrain from benchmarking stuff so I can't back my feeling with "fact numbers".

Haven't experienced any chrome FOD (Freeze Of Death ?).

Chrome Dev does behave strange, though. It tends to aw-snap every few minutes. Just like the regular chrome used to FOD. If I look at memory usage, it looks like before Chrome Dev goes aw-snapping the system's memory usage increases to ~1GB, and immediately after the aw-snapping it drops to normal levels (for me it is in the 200-400MB range).

I'm mentioning the above in case it is somewhat remotely related to the infamous chrome freeze and can help shed light on it? Like a memory leak in chrome app itself?

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] would flashing the stock 5.1.1 boot.img (on stock 5.1.1 obviously) over a custom kernel, revert any changes made by such a kernel? Is there anything that sticks?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
In really confused too, because there is nothing substantially different in version 2.08
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
You need to flash /system too.

You absolutely need to do this if you had code blue installed, not sure about others.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
answer: it depends

from the answer you can easily see that the question has to be reworked on if you want valuable input.

generally the impact of the kernel is overvalued and then all depends on setup and usage. try it out

and you'll know. battery stuff is so individual that we have to do some trial and error to find the best

fit for our needs. i only care for idle drain while others mostly care for SOT which you cannot

compare without identical use patterns which would make it a kind of laboratory event.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sjknight413:
My god just a simple yes or no will do.

Yes, theoretically going by the simple mechanics of the custom hotplug battery life will be better.

Yes.

I never touch Bluetooth, it's 100% stock. Any issues are due to user configuration
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
whatever UR motivation is, it's not true, the old app works flawlessly & albeit it's a good move to support [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] this by no means justifies to tell people who ask that one has to! not serious IMO :eek:

So I finally got myself a new sexy red Nexus 5 and will surely need to try Elemental X kernel. It was awesome on my M7!

However, I want to stay locked and unrooted. Can I still flash it via fastboot?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
There is no boot.img, so you will have to unlock, flash TWRP recovery, flash the kernel, flash stock recovery, relock.

That should do it. I don't think you need root.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JonesL:
The old one works perfectly fine, there's no need to buy two copies of the same software IMO.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
True the old one works fine, but I want to make clear that the new app is not the same software. It has quite a few improvements and new features and a lot more to come.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Ah that what I was afraid of, its a bit of a mission... just remember seeing that another N5 kernel was flashable with just a boot img in fastboot.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
You could do this in less than 5 minutes.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Yeah I think I am gonna do it, just so I can flash custom kernels.

Thanks man.

So if I leave it unlocked and with a custom recovery I wont receive the 5.1.1 OTA, is that right?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JonasVFC:
what new app? i bought the "old" one a week ago =/
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] walpurgisnacht30:
Actually you'll still get ota notification either you're using custom kernel, recovery, or unlocked bootloader. But the install process will fail, unlocking bootloader won't affect anything tho.

Anyway welcome to the Nexus family, Google will release the factory images of Android M developer preview today for Nexus 5, 6, and 9 so I guess unlocking bootloader would be a good thing for you actually only if you care about it ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
No, but why wait for an OTA? You are far better off flashing system.img from the factory image zip. Get 5.1.1 right away, get the proper 5.1.1 boot.img right away, and proper radio and bootloader. That's the beauty of a Nexus device, you can do whatever you want. There are no restrictions or complications and you don't even have to lose the contents of your internal sdcard.

1. Download 5.1.1 factory image and unlock your bootloader

2. extract it and get a fresh clean uptodate setup

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img

3. reboot and set up your phone

4. Download latest TWRP and install in fastboot (optionally install SuperSU here)

5. install elementalx

6. relock the bootloader if you want the added security.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
No, you didn't. There was a previous app that was removed from the Play STore back in early April.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Stryder5:
To my knowledge, unlocking bootloader wipes everything on the phone, including your internal storage so back up any pictures/files you may want to keep.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Woody:
Sometimes you'll also get the "package" downloaded and then it'll just sit there on your phone and won't be able to get flashed bc of a modified something. Here is a post I made in the N7 section about why this happens. You can deny the OTA by deleting the OTAcerts.zip in /root/etc/security/OTAcerts.zip I have a flashable zip that will do it for you, but I prefer the more hands-on approach and just do it myself (when I am in that situation).

Yes it does wipe everything. But there is an app somewhere that is a one-click unlock that doesn't wipe, but he'll have to find that on his own (mainly bc I don't know where it is or what it is called atm).

Edit(s):

On-Topic: I am getting some serious popping when listening to music/podcasts in 4.00. Still playing with some things to see where it comes from, but for now I have tried upping the voltage, changing the gov/schedulers and screen off min freq. I flashed the preview zip yesterday before it went live and it had the Aroma. I've always flashed the express after the first time, so I am pretty sure I messed something up by not waiting on the express like a dolt.

Off-Topic: I hate it when I accidentally schedule a meeting right in the middle of I/O. Saw everything up to "Now on Tap" and then came back from the meeting to see Sundar waving goodbye. Guess I'll be watching the recap before I start deleting all the redundant threads that will inevitably be popping up over the next 24 hours. Anyone have the over/under on how many M-preview threads will be started? :silly:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Senolis:
Hey.

I already have ElementalX kernel. But I need to update my device from 5.0.0 to 5.1. When I flash OTA, should I reinstall the kernel? And how about the wipe/factory reset after both of those?

Thanks mate, I've followed your steps and everything seems to have completed successfully.

At first, with the kernel comes with the rom, the CPU max speed is stick at 1.1 after using for a while (hasn't installed any app besides the gapp), weird @_@ (since it's never happened before with Cata stock kernel)

I was really panic :crying:

but thankfully, flashing EX 4.0 fixes it all. After installing full apps, using phone for a day, it looks like the CPU max speed issue has really gone :victory:
