No changes specifically to Bluetooth, but small possibility that something else is affecting it. Try rebooting and see if it helps

My phone, lol. But yeah, she's not very patient with electronics, so maybe something was going on in the background.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Manya3084:
Its only while the phone is put in standby. If I keep actively using it no issues. I'll reboot and give it a few more hours.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Johnny424:
hey flar, is there anyway to tweak elementalx governor through trickster settings to make it even more aggressive? I tried adjusting up-threshold lower but it defaults back to 90. I seen a small side note that says some tunables may be read only, is up-threshold one of them?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nealkoy:
Relax dude. It was an honest mistake. I wasn't reading when i made the reply lol. It should be on then as you said wifi scanning off.

Cheers! :beer:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Up threshold won't do anything. You could adjust the sampling rate (lower) and mess with the sync freq and optimal freq (increase)

Or use ondemand. Elementalx gov is trying to balance battery and performance. Ondemand has excellent performance all around.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

Ondemand is stock or its tweaked by you? I get insane battery life and lose 1-2% overnight, even if I play games (non intensive). Here's some screens of mostly browsing + Tapatalk + Pool Billiards Pro

Damn good job with this kernel (.23)! First one I've flashed since coming to the N5 from S4 a few days ago. Just finished my first full run with this and came 10 mins short of 5 hrs screen-on time with 1% left! Only thing I did outside of default in Aroma was -25 uv. Keep up the great work OP!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I tweak it a bit in the ramdisk. Ondemand is a very good governor, which is why it's the stock kernel default and why I give the option in installer to use it.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AhmedFaiz:
.24 everything running fine as usual here. Thanks

Feedback in few days.

I do feel device little more warmer than .23, is it because of the elemantalx tweak! Not a issue just thought of mentioning.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Manya3084:
K, so far about 2 hours, no issue. I'll blame Sony for this one. Kernel working fine.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tlf55:
In the changelog you say there are boost in touchboost, and a boost in elementalx gov, but in the description you say that the batterylife should be the same, maybe even slightly better.

How should it be better if you boost somethings ? This means that by upgrading boost and using more cpu we have a better battery life ?

I need help please! Does anybody know what causes this alarm_rtc wakelock?

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cc16177:
Something I remember Franco saying is that when you run at a higher speed the phone is able to complete the task faster so even though its at a higher freq the battery life is better because tasks are completed faster..

Just a guess.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] pa.pn2:
Alarm_rtc: Handles the alarm (when an application or process checks periodically on something).
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
alarm_rtc.

Is Real-time clock alarm. It isn’t the alarm to wake you up, tho it could be used by that. It’s more like a scheduler on your phone, to make sure it is not sleeping when an application needs it. “AlarmManager is a universal process that MANY apps use to update time, push you notifications, etc. In most cases, it is a necessity; in other cases, you should really check it out and disable/uninstall things that have invoked it too much.”

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tlf55:
His kernel is totally different than ElementalX kernel, here we use MPdecision which use higher speed only in a touch and for 1 second .. Franco's kernel use a touchboost different for like 0.2 second that need to be helped by higher freq to have smoother animation.

So in his case i'm ok to say that he need higher freq to get task completed faster .. but i don't think that we need that because of our MPdecision..

Maybe Flar2 could answer why he says that boosting gov and touchboost help his kernel to have better batterylife, or at least the same .. when i though with boost it will decrease battery life :)

BTW : here's my little contribution to your magnificent kernel ! :) ( 2AD27112W5352382W )
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
I'm sure even flar2 won't be able to estimate how battery life is for YOU, just use 0.24 for few days and you'll have an idea, I'm still on 0.23 I'm in no rush to update
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ghismo83:
with this kernel i lost the root on cm11 nightly last build :(

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tlf55:
I'm not telling this for myself, but to a overall estimate.. If he says that batterylife might have been improved this is because he improved his kernel, i just wanted to know why by improving boosttouch and boost in gov might improve batterylife for its kernel.

Take it easy, i'm just wondering why, that's all :) no bad thought about this ! I love this kernel and i'm using it everyday ! :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AquilaDroid:
Speaking of battery life, I installed 0.24 just before going to bed last night, took the phone off the charger and turned off the screen. Eight hours later it was still at 100%! I'm not a gamer but it feels very smooth when scrolling and opening apps. Love this kernel (with latest Slim 2.1 weekly)!

Hey guys. So i am having a hard time accessing a flash drive using USB otg. I have tried formating it with ext2,ext4 and NTFS but same results. On ext2 it would not even mount. ext4/ntfs mounted and i could see the lost&found(with ext4) folder but was unable to create new files/folders. I use root explorer as my file manager and slimkat as my rom. I also tried mounting is using stickmount but same thing could not creat anything on it. I am not sure if this is rom/kernel/app issue but i know i had this working before. I am using version 0.24 of kernel will try with 0.23 and report back if things are different. Is anyone able to mount anything with USB OTG and create files/folders on it?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Vortex1969:
Flashed 24 last night and has been running great with rastakat. This is the smoothest and fastest scrolling kernel out there hands down. Especially when using tapatalk. I don't OC anymore and at stock clock the performance if this kernel is as good if not better than others.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] acordill:
No problem here with 0.24 root explorer and stickmount
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Grondinm:
rom? and what fs?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] acordill:
Cataclysm and fat
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Grondinm:
thank you so this would seem to be a rom issue. I will test with Cataclysm just to be sure i'm somehow not messing something up when i format the stick.

EDIT: alright so it's not a rom issue it's a kernel issue or more specifically write support for anything other than fat. If i format the dirve with fat32 then all works...i would rather not use fat32 but looks like i don't have a choice right now.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] Until recently I had been using the elementalx governor without gboost enabled trying to squeeze every last bit of life out of the battery and decided to see what effect if any gboost would have on my N5. I don't save very many of my screenshots but it looks to me like battery life on v23 w/gboost enabled is the best I've seen yet. I going to call this last battery cycle moderate use with web browsing using Dolphin, txt w/Google Voice, Gmail, 200+ rss feeds w/Press, read a book this weekend using the Kindle app, couple YouTube videos, no gaming and no social apps. Stock 4.4.2 and stock freq. Thank you sir, well done!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Alfonso87:
Someone have the same trouble you got with that bootanimation, but with different kernel. So it shouldn't be related to kernel.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] Have you changed something that could affect the Deep Sleep state? I can't find any source to know if this state is the same between stock kernel and a custom one, and nobody ever talk about it :o
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] air2k57:
Not sure if ROM or kernel related. When I choose cooler colors option and boot to ROM, colors remain stock until I hit the power key to turn display off and then wake device back up, it immediately switches profiles. Happens every reboot too.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
That's how it works
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] air2k57:
Really? It always boots with stock colors and then changes them when screen is cycled?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Yes
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] air2k57:
Any idea why it dies that? I always thought it was done on boot and never noticed it before.

Accelerometer sensor

Because dt2w/s2w cause too much battery drainage, I tried Awesome on off (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=grandmaster.awesomeonoffultimate). But the app kept my phone awake, I guess because N5's accelerometer sensor is off during deep sleep, then AOO has too keep it awake for the sensor to work. So [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] is there any way to make an option to keep the accelerometer sensor on during deep sleep?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cjrivera04:
Can any one help me out with something? Running purity ROM followed op instructions but I keep getting bad battery drain. Charge it up all the way leave it alone and in 10 minutes I'm down to 94%. Nothing out of the ordinary to report. I use all the default settings during the installer and use the cooler colors. I can't pin point the problem. Just wondering if any one else has had a similar issue. Had this problem on .23 and .24.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] garu12:
Just checking in. 24 running great all stock settings except cool colors and stock voltage. I don't know if it's just me but in app scrolling (chrome, tapa etc) seems a tad smoother. As for battery I don't have a clue as its only been like 12 hours. Annnnywayyys cheers flar awesome as usual.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Maybe nothing is wrong , when's the last time u let your phone die ? Let it die , charge to full while off , turn on let charge some more then see if it helped.

( there's 1000 people going to say don't let your phone die , there all wrong ! I let my phones die all the time , if anything its made them better
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] phositadc:
Got an n5 on the way and planning to run this kernel specifically because of the cooler colors setting. Just out of curiosity, anybody know why it was removed from Franco? Did he just dislike it or does it cause issues for some people?

GPU OC

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] There may have been others involved and I no its totally unnecessary but looks like shoWp1984 ( bricked kernel) has GPU OC working on N5. Dunno if that's something u could add for us speed heads :P .
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gut4:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] In your kernel for HTC One was an option "pocket detection" - use proximity sensor to protect against accidental wakes. Do you plan to add this option in nexus5 kernel?

And is it possible to use this option for toggle S2W/DT2W enable/disable like power key toggle?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] arvinchugh:
I'm on stock rom, tried aroma installer but it doesn't install at all, I tried with both current ramdisk and stock, still doesn't install. Shall I go ahead and install express kernel? or is there a fix for this?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Try give more detail of what's happening . no don't install express , look for flar2's post on what express is , its few pages back .

What he suggests is more than the power key toggle - toggle based on proximity, and that's really a good idea

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] I love the express version and it's working great!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Scallywag1:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jlevy73:
Where do you see that? I'm using his latest kernel and it doesn't have that feature included. There's no mention of it in his latest beta either.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
It's available via KControl app, it has to insert a module for the option to work
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jlevy73:
Time to update Kcontrol. Sorry for the OT.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jarjar124:
Very impressed with .24.

All stock on express. Had sync on, but location disabled. Great job.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Those boosts might use a little more battery, but some of the other commits might reduce it. So it probably balances out.

Let me check this out. I just have to find a usb stick I can reformat.

I haven't tried and cm or derivatives roms, but I think eventually they won't work at all. They keep deviating further and further from stock. I usually stick pretty close to stock and it's derivatives. I like everything to be 100% stable and fully functional.

The sensors on this device seem to be controlled by userspace rather than the kernel.

I'll check it out. I tried setting the GPU higher, and in name it was higher, but the benchmarks were the same so I didn't pursue it. Time to fire up adreno profiler and take a look into this.

Can't find any code in the kernel that controls the proximity sensor. If I could see how to control the proximity sensor from the kernel, the pocket detection feature should be pretty easy.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GialanG:
According to the author, I think it's in the kernel space, that's why AOO only works on some devices

"Unfortunately in some devices, the accelerometer sensor cannot be used when the screen is OFF. Awesome On will not work on these devices.

Please do not give a low rating if this is unfortunately the case.

Link to list of devices:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I tried GPU overclocking again, and although it says 533 or 650, I checked with Adreno Profiler and it is still actually running at 450. I also tried with Bricked and KControl, same result. There is no GPU overclock.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I didn't look specifically in the kernel for the accelerometer, but I'm pretty sure it's like the proximity and ambient light sensor, controlled by libraries installed on the system. On my other devices I can easily find the kernel source for these things, but not on the N5.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jlevy73:
You are correct, on bricked and OC'ing the GPU, it's still actually running at 450. Also looked at GFXbench and a few other GPU benchmarks and they were the same no matter what I set the GPU at.

That being said, I also have a Z1 and [MENTION=2784807]DooMLoRD[/MENTION] has a kernel that OC's the GPU. The Z1 uses the same processor as the N5. Maybe you can have a look at his github to see what he did.

Here's his git: https://github.com/DooMLoRD/android_kernel_sony_msm8974

And the command line to OC the GPU: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=45776703#post45776703
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
That's the first method I tried, you can write anything in there and it still runs at 450.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Damn ,appreciate u looking into it so fast
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jlevy73:
Interesting, wonder why it works on the Z1. When I increase GPU to 533mhz, T-Rex increases to 26-27 FPS up from 23 FPS when running at 450mhz. When I do this with N5, get 23 FPS in both cases.

I like the kernel so far, I'm on 4.4.2 stock rooted, I tried installing kernal via aroma installer on twrp but it never went past 0% and i allowed it to install for like 15 mins but was still on 0%, any suggest how to use aroma installer on stock rom? also I installed express version to try, thought would be able to change settings in trickster , many settings were there but no setting on changing color to cooler color scheme, how can I change color in express version of this kernel? Thanks for help in advance :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Did you try downloading the aroma version again maybe it was corrupted, it worked fine for me, you can look in system/etc/elementalx.conf and change the values with root explorer and reboot if you want to do manually
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
Not Kernel related, but those who have had issues with location services taking too much battery, a new google services apk has been upped.

you can get it here-

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...w-google-drive-api-preview-and-more/#download

lots of users already reporting a reduced battery drain due to location services
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DelBoy:
That is*Qualcomms USB controller.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Can you guys provide some details, perhaps installation logs? I'd like to stay compatible with all the major ROMs, but this may become increasingly difficult as they implement more and more CAF stuff. Not sure if that's the case for PA. It could be just something different they do with their boot.img that I'm not accounting for.

You can edit /etc/elementalx.conf and set the cooler colours that way. If using ES File Explorer, make sure you turn on Root Explorer, and long press it to get the option of mounting /system as RW.

The installer gets stuck a lot for people on the HTC One, ususally it can be fixed by wiping the cache, booting back into the system and then back to recovery to install the kernel.

I just decided to switch from faux kernel, so this is my first time using ElementalX kernel. I reverted back to stock before installing the default settings version of this kernel.

Has anyone seen this issue before?

I get hit with this error all of the time. I recently opted out of Snapchat beta and the error has been occuring a bit less now.. But I've even had this error back on the N4 before Snapchat, so it's definitely not a kernel problem. Although I believe Snapchat (and definitely the beta version) amplifies this problem.

I don't have an N4. I couldn't possibly compete with the excellent kernels that are already there if I were developing blind. Plus, I'm already developing for three devices and somewhat supporting three others.

Definitely nothing to do with the kernel. I don't change anything about the camera.
