Current ramdisk will work in most cases. The stock ramdisk option will work for roms that use the stock kernel and can be useful if you've flashed a different kernel and you want to make sure you have the stock ramdisk again.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Rashiel:
If you have idea - I'll test it of course!

I like the new gboost and the governor..

Running smooth on Purity!

But I need to use D2TW or S2W!

I'm assuming u can't really gauge battery life until 3 cycles with this kernel?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] resynx:
Yeah, it's usually best to wait after a few cycles to see the true battery life.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
With any kernel.

There are so many things that influence battery life it can be hard to judge. On this device there seem to be a lot of variation day to day, mostly because Google's services run wild.

There are a lot of kernels for this phone and too often I see people try three different ones in a day and then post about one or the other having good/bad battery life.

We shouldn't really be so obsessed with battery life anyway, as long as it gets you through the day. My main priority is smooth performance and features, but I think battery life is excellent (and I've tried a couple of the other kernels for comparison).
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] anthonyp326:
So far its been great with exp 18 no issues at all..I like the color implementation
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
Same here..

Absolutely love the colors!

I didn't choose the thermal throttling option, but I don't find the phone heating up too much.. Haven't played much maybe 15 mins..

Thanks flar2 :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] anthonyp326:
Flar what do u recommend for setting...I don't play games on my phone..but need smooth ui and battery life..?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] resynx:
Flar has recommended the installer defaults :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Yup, go with the installer defaults and report back. I expect to make more adjustments to the elementalx governor.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] duckied:
18 is probably the smoothest version so far... excellent work flar!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] is there a possibility you can implement double tap to lock as well?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
No, this needs to be implemented as an app, not in kernel. The kernel has no idea what's on your screen and can't differentiate between an empty desktop or an app, or whether you're on the lockscreen or not, etc. The context is necessary because doubletap is already used to zoom in a lot of apps. I actually added a simple doubletap2sleep briefly in the HTC One, but just on the notification bar. I didn't find it very useful and nobody complained when I removed it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bantamdraper:
Just a (probably dumb) question. I'm going through the installer for .18. Where you can select gboost it says "Enable for ultra smooth performance with elementalx governor". I'm assuming this doesn't mean that gboost is only active when using the elementalx governor?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
Flar2 the screen flashes I had when I flashed back to 0.15 seems to have now gone after flashing 0.18 :)

Well is his APP better than Franco one? Because thinking about switching :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Sigray:
Dunno. Using this kernel with own app. Why should i try with another kernel's one? I want to support the EX developer, not Franco [emoji55]
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] wojwem19:
You know. Been using Franco app for good 1 year because elementalx didn't have his own app. Got used to Franco app. That's why wondering should I or shouldn't I swap to EX app :) and talking about supporting developer I got 1 word answer : "donation" :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sherlock5545:
Pay, download and try. If you don't like it you can always get a refund, even outside the 15 minutes time frame. Google apparently refunds purchases immediately even a few days later. This app is great and it's the only one that perfectly controls this kernel, being it tailored for it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Sigray:
If i buy his app im donating too.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] wojwem19:
What I mean is that buying his app isn't the only way of helping developer ;)

True.

Hi,

Is it possible to use lastest kk version (1.13) with F2FS for data and cache and let syst in ext4 ?

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dechronic:
Yes.

If you have already formatted the /cache & /data partitons already as f2fs (doing so will wipe all data from the /data partition and internal sdcard)

1. If you are using a ROM, dirty flash it.

2. Then flash this dummy boot image with the f2fs entries in the ramdisk that ElementalX needs: http://d-h.st/vm3t

3. Flash ElementalX.

4. Reboot. ALL DONE!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kizzmaul:
Does this kernel support the latest CM12 builds?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ramjet73:
Have you donated to the ElementalX developer?

Many users are more comfortable buying an app than making a donation because they feel like they are "getting something for their money" even when they are already enjoying the benefits of the developer's primary efforts.

ramjet73
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
not quite clear what you mean, you thank for the heads up which was exactly the idea you're asking for.

so your post could mean that you tried the 1.13 version of the kernel and still have bootloop, albeit you don't say it so directly ?

if this is the case and since you rom-kernel reads "cyanogenmod" you not only have to pay attention to the OS version's correct kernel ( 1.13 )

but as well to the "CM" version of 1.13 while there is an AOSP version around as well and that would bootloop in most cases.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] CyberScopes:
I find buying the app easier than going through the paypal process (which is simple but im lazy lol). I dont use the app but i still bought it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ramjet73:
If the ROM's are Code Aurora Forum (CAF) based then the current version of ELementalX L probably won't support them since there is no CyanogenMod specific version yet for Lollipop. Many of the current versions of "CM12" are still Android Open Source Project (AOSP) based and ElementalX L should support those.

So for a clean install, all i have to do is to replace the boot.img from my rom with the one from your zip ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Co.Tibi:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] does your app let you save the settings you make to the kernel so that I can apply them later on a fresh install (like a ROM update). I've looked around and didn't find such an option. If there isn't, can you add this option? Thank you
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vickyjusme:
Initially I thought the new version had less battery performance than the 2.04 version. But after the weekend I must say it is very much better. Getting 5+ hrs SOT easily. Charged only 2 times in 3 days. Idle drain is very much negligible too. Thanks [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] wingoku:
What is your brightness settings? GPS? Cellular Data? Idle/over night drain?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vickyjusme:
Brightness is on auto always. But as I was at home it must have been below 20% always. Data is at edge as I have smart radio on which gets it to low-power mode on WiFi. WiFi always on. Sync on. Google Now is off always. Location is off. Idle drain is 3% in about 8 hours.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dechronic:
Also keep in mind that battery capacities will vary between each device. For example I got my Nexus 5 nearly a year ago now. I don't expect to get the same SOT as someone with a new Nexus 5 with the same settings and usage.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] neopbm:
Tried that and there was many FC and wifi was not working. Not sure it's really releated but...

Went back to only data with f2fs, syst and cache ext4 and everything is ok.

Thanks for your time anyway dechronic :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dechronic:
I was troubleshooting a small problem and was checking the logcat and I got this error regarding the touch_boost. Is it a file permission issue, or something else? How do I troubleshoot it?

I am using a CM12 based ROM called Beanstalk. I reinstalled ElementalX 2.0.5 to be sure it was installed correctly.

Not sure. You normally get"connection refused" if you turn off mpdecision

It's possible to flash kk version first and after the zimage file of 2.0.5? So to have ramdisk of kitkat and latest kernel on kk Rom.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] SoftWord:
which is the tecnical reason? on galaxy nexus on some kernel u can put kk kernel on jb........ ok for ramdisk that is SO-specific, but zimage must be standard for me.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
Try it yourself. All this kernel does is modify existing RAMdisk. So you can flash lollipop kernel on kk without modifying anything. Then you can see it won't boot.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] rhamej:
Hey [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION],

I tried the latest Euphoia rom to see where they are. Over all it looks promising, but not a DD yet. Still too many bugs. One thing I noticed though was that using your app with that ROM, trying to open the Graphics section and your app forced closed. I search in the Euphoria G+ community and they are saying download Selinux mode changer app and set it to permissive. It worked, but hesitant to do that because then you lose all the security. Any specific reason why the force close?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
A few people emailed me about it. The problem is my app could not access the RGB sysfs settings. Same with the vibration setting. It's because of some needless selinux settings specific to that ROM. Another reason why most kernel devs push a complete boot.img.

That should be fixed on app version 4.42 or later. I had to redo part of my app to deal with it, and I was not too happy to change it because the pure java methods I was using before were better.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] rhamej:
Glad to hear you fixed it. Sorry you had to fix it by unnecessary means though ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
So what's the consensus on changes to the ElementalX governor in 2.05?

Keep or revert?

Seems pretty good to me, but I'm mostly using the Nexus 6 lately.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Sigray:
Keep it! Your kernel is the best at this moment.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] rhamej:
Performance wise I don't notice much a difference. With the screen on though it does see to drain the battery a little faster.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Mikulec:
I would keep it.

Flashing directly L version don't work. Before you must flash kk version and after zimage by your hands using fastboot

I felt some lag on 2.05 when scrolling, which I don't notice on 2.04. Tested on fresh install of KangDroid.

I usually scroll over and over for testing the smoothness, and 2.04 may well be the kernel offering smoothest UX for nexus 5 (for me).
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sherlock5545:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Jax Teller:

Yes
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
Drop the zimage from 2.x zip in 1.x zip

It still won't work. Kk and L are worlds apart. You seem to be on a pointless quest for "latest". Even if you got it to boot, it would be worse than latest kk kernel. Its a pointless quest

Hi. New user here.

Just curious is this kernel build from scratch? How come it can tweak with mpdecision turn on, when it's actually closed sources?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
All kernels are built from scratch.

You can then mpdecision on or off via app. You cannot tweak mpdecision. You can tweak governor settings as with every other device.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ChelseaFan257:
First off, I wanted to say thanks for your work, [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]. I have been using your kernel almost exclusively, on a variety of ROMs, and more recently your app as well. Recently, after learning about the F2FS file system, I've managed to successfully convert the /data and /cache partitions to that file system (leaving /system for another day). I am using MultiROM v30 and the December 24th build of Cataclysm ROM for the Hammerhead, as an fyi.

Now for my issue: I tried both the F2FS-EXT4-Lollipop-Kernel-Cl3Kener-Kexec-Permissive.zip and F2FS-EXT4-Lollipop-Kernel-Cl3Kener-Kexec-Enforcing.zip dummy kernels for the necessary ramdisk modifications, then flashed ElementalX 2.05 via the Aroma installer. The CPU and voltage settings I specified were applied without trouble. However:

- other settings (namely DT2W, USB fastcharge, the backlight dimmer, cooler colors, and fsync disabling) refuse to stick.

- If I modify the .conf file as described in your OP, when I reboot the device (haven't yet got to running init.d scripts) the settings revert to default even though the .conf file shows the modified parameters.

- Enabling the necessary tweaks via your app gets everything working immediately, but as soon as I reboot the phone (which I do a lot of as I tinker with it, 'course), the changes are undone.

To reiterate, the CPU frequency and voltage settings work as desired.

Has anyone else run into this problem, and/or are there any possible solutions?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Mikulec:
I think you can tweak the frequency of mpdecision, if I am not mistaken.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
No. You can tweak gboost frequency and input event frequency but not mpdecision

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Elluel:
Thanks for this :D Found it searching the thread.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jacknicholson:
Probably not the response you want, but you could easily accomplish this with Tasker. Just have it run the appropriate shell command (eg. echo 2 > /sys/android_touch/doubletap2wake) upon a 'notification received' event condition, followed by 'echo 0 > /sys/android_touch/doubletap2wake' after a 10 second wait, to disable.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] yanleites:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION], it's a great idea....

Can you do it?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Elluel:
He has addressed similar requests before.

Use Tasker. The kernel shouldn't be touching notifications at all.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] yanleites:
Some one gave this idea, not Flar, and I want him to answer, not you. I don't want to use Tasker.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Elluel:
He'll tell you the very same, as will just about any real developer.

The kernel should not be touching userspace, especially when there is a way to do it in userspace itself (Tasker).

I'd keep it. I've had the best result ever. The battery life on 2.05 is crazy long and performance is great.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Led doesnt glow while charging on this kernel. What are you saying? On Stock ROM it doesnt. you must be using some app for led control.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sherlock5545:
I agree that accomplishing this with tasker is possible, and that's the route I would take. However, he doesn't necessarily have to modify the kernel. Elemental X App could do this with appropriate modifications I think.

Anyway, I see no point in this, given that Tasker would suffice.
