Jumped to Mahdi for now..

Seems quite nice.. pretty smooth & fast..

lots of options as well

with elemental 0.26 but i must say the stock kernel seemed fine too

doesn't support dt2w or cooler colors, but i had some crazy battery backup for the 3 hours i had that kernel..

only 1% percent drop over the 3 hours with all the stuff you do when you clean install a new ROM

Cataclysm with ElementalX

Just for asking, are you using this Kernel with Cataclysm? Any issues with it? I want to install a Kernel and I am looking for a good one that works well with Cataclysm.

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bobokun:
Hey I use Cataclysm with this kernel and I've tried many kernels with Cataclysm ROM but this one is the best combination imo. :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
go for it :)

hi,

as you can see below i'm neither restricted to one brand nor to one kind of software etc. i'm currently trying to find the best solution

for my taste and needs. so that said you know that it will always remain a personal choice, at least to a certain degree.

so since you ask, yes this kernel works very well with cataclysm rom. i've tried franco, faux, bricked and elementalX and i owe all

apps of those other kernels. not saying that to brag but to make clear that i do not favour this or any other kernel because i

spent money on it, i bought them all :)

my personal choice was after all elementalX for the color tweak for the Nexus 5.

now as from today, franco pushed his lates app "FKU" version with color profiles included and thus i changed to

use those profiles instead of the somehow considered questionable kernel tweak, but still remain with elementalX

so this tells you that elementalX works well with faux and franco's gamma apps and as well with their kernel control apps.

again, it remains a personal choice based upon my needs, could well be that you will come to other conclusions, but if you want

i can tell you a very good reason to stay with elementalX, this thread is never making me nerveous. it's the most pleasant

thread on XDA as far the participants are concerned :) for me that's quite a point because peace is a holy cow for me :)

hope that helps to decide

You really love to write? Your posts are always so long, have you tried Slimkat? Thoughts on the different ROM's you've tried
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GSLEON3:
I am & if it means anything, which it did to me, Flar2 runs Cataclysm as well. So if the kernel dev uses it & is at least partially basing performance & battery data based on the rom they are using, well... there you have it. Cataclysm is really stock with some cherry picks & some similar CM/AOKP/PA features that have been written or enhanced specifically for Atl4ntis' Cataclysm rom. Very stable & I can say that I get great battery life on it with ElementalX.

Try it and see for yourself.

Dirty flash your ROM first to get the kernel that came with your ROM. It's not good to flash ElementalX directly over Franco.

Bro thats insane lol
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
subject to usage but :)

your observations are correct in my eyes but as to my opinion the differences are minor after all.

all the major custom kernels are great work there are a few things on the side which make the difference for me:

- elemental is more consistent long term, means that i've never had as many if any update with glitches

like with other great kernels which sometimes are released in fast successions due to necessary corrections.

this can be a problem if you install a new kernel before a longer business-trip. after all it means to me that elementalX is

the most reliable or most trusted for me personally.

- there is the quality of the thread, others have quite aggressive fanboyish participants while the people here

in general simply are looking and appreciating good work for pragmatic reason less than just for feeling special

by joining the victorious side :)

- flar is simply helpful and cool on the helpful side while others can be rude at times, not to say arrogant

that said it remains to mention that there is no best but only a preference for each individual.

enjoy further

[MENTION=5372360]magnamentis[/MENTION] Hey bro, what were your presets for when you installed Elemental? thx

Also If im on Cataclysm rom with the kernel it came with, should I still reflash the rom before installation?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Vollspacken:
should i flash the stock ramdisk or the custom ramdisk for stock-rom?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
not necessary :)

if you are on stock kernel ( the one cataclysm comes with ) you can flash elementalX kernel directly without further steps, just make a nandroid backup, this just as a standard safety measure.

what do you mean with "presets" do you mean the kernel settings upon installation ?

they are basically very individual choices, just go through the process and choose your preferences, all the choices are ok since choices which would have a negative impact are not available.

to be on the safe side you can choose to install express with default settings first and go from there later when you feel safe to

try out different settings.

i have a slight overclock under 2.5GHz and the minimum undervolt. further i was using the cooler colors until this morning but changed to francos's

color control ( with elementalX kernel ) to set my color because there were some uncertainties about the cooler color tweak and since i found a profile

in franco's app which comes 99% close to that tweak i chose to go with it for safety reasons.

however, generally don't worry, just try things out as to you preference and need, as long as you have nandroid of the latest working config there is not much that can go totally wrong.

have fun

by the way i can confirm the good battery life. i have 3% down every 10 hours with all sync and location features on plus dropsync and dfolio photo sync in idle mode. that

makes 330h theoretical standby with readiness to receive calls emails and weather widgets on etc. that's far better than my note 2's performance which was the

top notch before lg g2 and the note 3. my note 2 has about twice the batter consumption in percent on 4.2.2 than the nexus 5 but with the bigger battery which makes

the difference even bigger. further just to mention, all my devices are set up identically, same apps, same launcher, same settings and same themes, just with different means

some by built in features, others by xposed framework.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mikeacela:
Thanks, yes I ment the kernel settings. I just wanted to make sure I had the installation clear. In the past I was always an advocate for undervolting and overclocking but I feel in my case that it is no longer necessary. Im not at all worried at all about breaking the phone, I just want it buttery smooth as stock and I noticed this kernel is. :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gpvecchi:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION], did you check the voltage problem?

To recreate the issue: I flashed full kernel, choosing suggested undervolt (750mV min), rebooted, that was the voltage; flashed again kernel choosing stock voltages (my phone doesn't like undervolting, I had reboots): voltage was still [MENTION=1360192]750[/MENTION]mV min.

Reflashed ROM, flashed kernel wirth default values, I got 775mV as minimum.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fkloznica:
Can i activate cooler colors after the installation of this kernel via aroma installer ? Or i must go again from the start whit aroma installer ? Tnx
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
you can

you can do that by changing the value from 0 to 1 in the elemental config file which you'll find in the "etc" directory if you have rooted device with a root explorer installed. i'm using "romtoolbox"

by the way you can tweak a lot with that app, kernel, build.prop files, boot animation and countless other things, just for you info since we're already at it :)

good luck

EDIT: you can use as well franco's FKU app which has a built in color control with color profiles, i found one that is 99% like the cooler color tweak but safer because there aren't any unknowns :)

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Sayan1987:
I was using trickster, i tried Franco app and it's much much cooler.

Only thing I'm missing is undervolt menù, elementalx is not supported or am i blind?

And out of curiosity, which color profile are you using? Which you find similar to cooler colors by elementalx?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GoldElocks:
Don't disable mp decision. Frequencies are actually sticking but the app is reading the touchboost frequency that mp decision uses (1267Ghz). You can use trickster or another app to see which frequencies are actually being used and you will see that the min is actually 300Ghz.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
several ways

i'm using up to 5 apps to set up my kernel, every app has it's advantages and weaknesses.

you can undervolt in faux's app, KControl and probably others while for some reason franco's app does not show

the undervolt menu, at least not with this kernel at the moment. i did not follow franco's thread for a while so cannot say more about why.

i'm using the following color profile in franco's color control which is now built into the FKU app: Vomer_AMOLED, it's way down in the list

which you have to import first if you didn't do that already.

that profile comes so close to the cooler color tweak that i gave up on it for safety reasons. there are some unknown factors about it

which did and don't really bother me but if i can have the same result the safe way why take any, even if far fetched risk.

regards

EDIT: Last but not least you can undervolt by making changes to the elementalX config file in the etc directory if you have a root browser installed and are rooted

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Sayan1987:
Really thanks.

Don't wanna go ot so you can pm me, i've just another question, i just find in init folder an 99elemental file and i don't understand how to set voltages from there, i mean i don't have any 700 and stuff to edit, what am i missing?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] wantabe:
As far as I know you can only undervolt the lowest frequency (300) in the aroma installer, I don't see anything in the init.d script to change the voltages. I'm thinking that you have to use a separate app to undervolt or use a separate init.d script. Personally... I think it's more of a pain in the ass to try undervolting all the frequency steps and I've never seen much gain when trying it. That said, I do undervolt the lowest frequency in the aroma installer. I have an init.d script to undervolt but didn't use it for long, seemed to be more consistent performance wise with stock voltages, except for undervolting 300 MHz. Right now I just use an additional init.d scrip to change "read ahead" and "tcp congestion control" and did away with changing the voltages.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
My phone with just the lowest frequency UV is so warm its uncomfortable even while idling, UV via init.d scripts for all frequencies is a necessity for me to get a cool phone during use and I don't have performance drops or random reboots cause my voltages are stable

If I remember flar2 said Simple was inefficient cause it scales unneccessarily so ondemand is better and that he would consider making his own GPU governor but if I remember correctly there is only one GPU governor at the moment (was previously Simple and Ondemand) so when you put Performance governor its for CPU not GPU
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
here is the information you were asking for, ONLY APPLICABLE TO VERSIONS 0.27 AND HIGHER !

so you have to install version 0.27 or 0.28 first. albeit the kernel changes are meant for CM roms only that does not mean that they

do not work perfectly well with stock and/or aosp roms, it's just that there are no kernel changes in those versions for aosp BUT!!!

threre are indeed changes as to how to make certain settings stick when flashing a rom update and thus reflashing the kernel with express version.

these changes are from version 0.27 up and not implemented into version 0.26, that's why you should flash 0.27 or later first if you wanne make

undervolting stick without using aroma and/or an app.

so if you have installed version 0.27 or 0.28, in case of version 0.27 i can guarantee for it since i use that myself with close to stock cataclysm rom,

you can open the following files and change the following settings.

a) etc/elementalx.conf ( scroll down to reinstall options ) ( go to undervolt settings ) choose a value between 1 and 7 according to the undervolting

.....you want to set, save the changes.

b) do the very same with the file with the same name on the sdcard, it's not in a folder it's on the sdcard main directory.

c) reboot, done

of course while installing version 0.27 or 0.28 you can set the first value directly, the above procedure is to make changes without using an

app and without going through aroma procedure again. however, honestly speaking, use an app, it's so much easier and they serve well for

other settings as well :) to be sure you can set voltage in an app, set on boot, reboot and check if they stick. if they don't you can still use

this procedure

Unless something has changed, I believe you also need to execute the 99elementalx script in init.d as well for the changes to stick. For the guy above, you do not modify the init.d script. You modify the config file & then execute the script via terminal, utility or app like Root Explorer that can handle linux executable scripts.
