[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
3 hours? I routinely get about 5 to 6 hours SOT. I don't game on my N5, but when I did i got about 3. There's a few things you can do to get your average from 5 to 6 hours (assuming your battery itself is still good) :) The first big drainer is screen brightness. if you have a rom that has a manual brightness slider use it and then keep your screen only bright enough so that it is comfortable enough to read in whatever environment you're in. Next is background services. Set as many as you can to manual. I don't need weather and emails syncing in the background if i 'm not even looking at my phone, so that's pointless. set as many as you can to manual refresh or to refresh no more than once every couple of hours. Another goodie is to greenify all non-essential system apps. greenify everything you possibly can. Even with the xposed portion still not working on lolli, that app does wonders. Another is if you have apps you don't use, delete them. They're probably drawing some sort of power in the background and you may not realize it. Once every few months I go through and delete apps I don't use. The last thing i do is once every couple of weeks i go into gsam and look at the top 5 most battery draining things still on my phone and i do whatever i can to minimize their battery use. If there's apps i don't use I delete them. If I do use them i greenify. if they're still taking a ton of battery I find alternatives that do the same thing. Facebook is almost always the worst. I've found two alternatives: facebook lite (which you need to get the apk and sideload) or tinfoil for facebook also seems to be decent, though faebook lite seems to be the better for not taking battery. But I do the same for the other top 5 offenders I see in gsam and like I said I do that once every couple of weeks. Lastly for kernel settings, all i simply do is max my cpu at 1.7 ghz and pretty much leave everything else alone with ElX. Flar really does a pretty good job here and i haven't found a need to stray from the default settings. Sooo, basically: manual screen brightness, limit background services, greenify, try to take care of 5 top battery drainers and limit max cpu. That's all i ever do and I would say I'm right around 5 1/2 hours SOT on any given day. Hope that helps :)

You forgot to mention Google Now and Google Location reporting, these things like to suck battery like vampire blood.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] monkeybuttons:
Normal usage: ~3 hours sot

Reading a book on phone: ~6-7 hours sot

The biggest thing is how you use your phone. Apps that do stuff such as access Internet or games kill your battery. Apps that don't, don't.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Flyview:
Sorry I meant, in the CatLog app on the phone. It looks like it only retains 10000 lines at a time so it doesn't get OOM exception. The other thing I could do would be to actually continuously record to file, but that has obvious battery implications.

I would like to compile the kernel to myself for add some modules for usb serial as FTDI and changes some static module to loadable module, so I can reduce the size of kernel.

I see in the zip's files there are also mpdecision, thermal-engine-hh and power.msm8974.so, which changes have you done on these files?

Thank you

I'm just curious. What's your guys preferred io scheduled and why?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jazle:
I usually leave it as is, just underclock to 1700 and undervolt between 700-750 for my daily basis (no gaming) balancing between responsiveness and battery life. Just a suggestion, don't do this on first flash, but after everything configured and initialized.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] Thank you for such an amazing kernel.. I am using it on the latest cm nightly and my battery isn't dying which it would generally with other ROM and kernel combinations ..

I am down on 40% at the end of the day

My settings are as follows :

Freq : default (no over clocking nothing, just the default freq)

Undervolted to 725

Sweeptosleep enabled

wake options disabled

Other settings - only USB fast charge and backlight dimmer enabled, all other options unchecked.

I might have missed something..

CyanogenMod+elementalx = best combo (for me)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] CRMarius:
Hello guys and maybe girls :D

I flashed the 1.13 express version for nexus 5 under Liquid Smooth 3.1 rom successfully but I have no access on any settings whatsoever. It's because I used this express version ? I assume the ROM is going with this kernel's default settings...kind of like a noob version with no access of the settings :p.Please someone enlighten me :eek:

Apprently XDA knows that I am a noob since it's doesnt let me post a SS :) :D.I need a min 10 posts to post images.You'll just have to believe me that under Kernel Version it states: 3.4.0-ElementalX-N5-1.13aaron@bella #1 :)

used Multirom with TWRP
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] IMadeYouReadThis:

Use the custom version of the kernel if you are going to tweak the kernel related settings such as freq, undervolting and all..

Hello guys.

I actually have a Nexus 5 with CyanogenMod 12 and Code Blue Kernel and I want to install this kernel to test.

So, what i've to do delete my kernel Code Blue and put this? Because the Kernel says that can't overwrite in another Kernel. Flash Stock Kernel maybe works?

And I downloaded the CyanogenMod ElementalX version in this topic, but when I try to boot, simple don't boot.

Thank you :D

double tap not always working?

hello there. I noticed when the screen of my nexus 5 automatically locks because of the timeout, double tap or gestures to wake don't work most of the times. Am I the only one who experienced this? should I flash the kernel once again maybe? Thanks
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] EncryptedCurse:
DT2W, by default, turns off after 15 minutes of inactivity.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] samu91gn:
Thank you for your answer but I actually setted it to never be deactivated. Anyway I flashed it once again and it's working fine by now.

I also noticed a pretty high ram usage by "system" since I'm using this kernel. It reaches 1GB and forces the launcher to stop then if I restart the phone it goes back to normal. I'm using stock 5.0.1
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
i don't think so, it has to be activated and to be set on boot to do that, the default setting for wake function timeout is "disabled"

Dirty flash your ROM (your data should remain intact) and boot it up once, then flash ElementalX.

5.1 coming by the end of the week to nexus devices. Info from Artem Russakovskii
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] esprout:
Script to control Nexus 5 charge between 35%-55%

So BLX doesn't work with N5. However there's system interface /sys/devices/virtual/power_supply/touch/subsystem/ac/charging_enabled for ElementalX kernel which does work. I've created a script that leverages this system interface to control charge levels. You can customize when to start charging with STARTLIMIT (defaults to 35%) and when to stop charging with STOPLIMIT (defaults to 55%). You can also put these values in a file /data/local/etc/battery/STARTLIMIT and /data/local/etc/battery/STOPLIMIT, which are dynamically read in, and overrides the values within the script. A log file is kept in /data/local/tmp/charge_control.log. You will need root to use this. I've tested it with:

Kernel: ElementalX

ROM: candy5 1.0.1

It may work with other ROMs and kernels, but untested. Hope you find it useful!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] OKLYMY:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] t3al:
IMHO by redesigning the icon you would have to rebrand the whole app (Designer's POV)

Good job on the new designs, though you also need a bigger version saying 'ElementalX' since this is your product, not EX.

I'd like to see the original logo (which I like the most) following Material Design guidelines :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kaemo:
What differs my implementation compared to the original?

I could make the argument that the current logo reads "Navigation Drawer X".

Also, what do you mean with product icon guidelines? I did everything by the books.

(I'm not defending my work, btw. I'm genuinely asking. )
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] t3al:
See attachment. I meant to say that the original and yours differ a bit, not that you didn't follow the guidelines..

Maybe that's why it looks more like a Hamburger than an 'E'.
