Anyone using lightflow with this latest kernel and the led notification gone after the phone go sleep?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dead0:
just wondering if anyone had any luck with this addon as i'll be deleting it within the next 36 hours?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] m3ph1570:
I'm using lightflow with stock 4.4.1 and elementalx 0.14. Everything working fine.

On a sidenote, i'd like to point out how good this kernel is :) Best performance and battery life out of all the kernels i'vd tried.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] xmlnoob:
It seems to be the problem of me still using the old center clock batt % mod for 4.4, i just did a reflash to 4.4.1 stock, re-apply root, flashed the latest batt % mod, then install ElementalX again then led seems fine now.

Thank you.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
i clean installed Cataclysm and elementalx but now touch boost ups the frequency to 2496 MHz (the max i have selected ) all the way from 300 MHz :/ .. before it just used to hit 1267 MHz , Using ART if that matters .

Minimum Freq : 300 Mhz

Maximum Freq : 2496 Mhz

Max Screen off : 1190 Mhz

MP-Decision : ON

MultiCore Power saving : 1

SOC Temperature Throttle : On

any suggestions ?

Battery is also draining abit more because its at 2496 Mhz most of the time when in use
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] johan8:
This kernel run very stable in my Nexus5 !

All the features are just what I need !!

Tks for excellent kernel !

I'm still haven't got 4.4.1 OTA, is it because I have changed kernel ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] m3ph1570:
OTA won't install if you have flashed a custom kernel. Altho it should still tell you that a software update is available. Best way to go forward would be to manually flash a stock 4.4.1 rom available here on the forums.

[MENTION=298610]Flar[/MENTION] do you think it is possible to have dt2w always on automatically when plugged into charger?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] aldur999:
That's a good idea, if it's not possible or too heavy to do it by the kernel side, we could use Tasker, should be easy :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
At first it will just be an updater app, and later I will add the ability to modify settings (on the fly and set on boot).

The app will be paid (because I need to cover the cost of my devices and accessories and be able to buy new devices) but ElementalX will always be free. The Aroma installer and elementalx.conf will remain the same so people who don't want to pay will have complete functionality.

Buying the app will allow you to conveniently download and install the latest kernel with two clicks, and automatically be notified of new releases (optional, of course).
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Yes, this is possible and I will add it next update. I wouldn't mind this functionality myself.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] reiper:
I always had a bad battery life on my nexus 5, even on elementalx. 4h sot was nearly impossible. Lately when i updated from 0.38 to 1.0 and slightly decreased the cpu voltage (only 300mhz) by 50mv i already have 72% battery left with 2+ hrs sot! How is that even possible? Is it the new version or undervolting is so battery friendly?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ralpheboyo:
...... And so it should be.... I can only speak for my self.... This in no way would deter me from using any of your apps.... Probably on the contrary as there is nothing like supporting a great developer....
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] szucsgf:
Have you done ANYTHING else that could impact battery life? For example, changed modems, uninstalled apps that might have been causing wakelocks, changed your screen brightness, etc.? These things could all impact battery life more than a slight undervolt.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
I use faux sound and it works perfectly . I'm on stock rom though .Check your that your busy box is up to date . maybe revoke SU and start over ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:

exactly, seconding that 100%
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Yeah, coincidence. Under voting won't affect battery life like that. But at least it's better anyway! ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] reiper:
I started playing with greenify and i am always using the lowest possible brightness. So not many wakelocks but as i mentioned, it is screen on time that improved so much.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] szucsgf:
I don't think so. The closest I think you could do is:

1. Download lastest TWRP or CWM. Rename to "recovery.img"

2. Boot into fastboot

3. "fastboot boot recovery.img"

4. Flash ElementalX

5. Reboot.

This will allow you to temporarily boot into TWRP or CWM once without permanently flashing a custom recovery. The next time you boot into recovery you will be back on the stock recovery.

---------- Post added at 03:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 PM ----------

Perhaps you greenified an app that was causing wakelocks. I know you said it was screen on time that improved. That makes sense: less battery draining with screen off due to wakelocks leaves more battery for screen on use.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Twrp don't always like to play nice unless its full booted once . CWR would be best for this .

[MENTION=4800478]reiper[/MENTION]. I was having slightly better than average battery life even with undervolting in previous elementalx. Version 1.0 is simply amazing. Seeing great battery improvement. Maybe boosted by 4.4.4 update too. Version 1.0 is simply amazing
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] stone_ship:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] I want to thank you for maintaining detailed changelogs for your kernel. I am just playing around with building my own kernel and I've been cross referencing the changes with the commit history on your github to learn where stuff is. I was even able to add your backlight dimmer and fastcharge! THANK YOU!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] akash3656:
I can safely say it's not the UV that caused the maybe increase of battery life. Neither is updating the kernel going to increase battery life massively. Then again, that release you were on IIRC had some battery life issues.

But I think it's because you rebooted your device and some random app or the radio stopped draining battery madly.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] alb3rtt:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] If you don't mind me asking, why is it that you haven't updated the Linux version? (Updating from 3.4.0 - 3.4.97)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Viper LABs:
CM Vibration and Color calibration options

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION], there are settings in CM11 for vibration strength and color calibration, respectively:

Settings > Sound > Vibrator intesity

and

Setting > Display & lights > Colour calibration

Although the settings are present, seems that they do nothing while changing sliders. This is looks like a little bit unaccomplished behaviour. Is it possible, that ElementalX kernel handle this settings as CM does? I mean that they will act like they should - tune vibrator intensity and color calibration. If it is hard/unwanted to implement for some reasons, is it possible from the kernel side to hide this menus from the CM settings?

BTW, your monetization model for the future app is excellent! Great example for other devs.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Most of that is updates of drivers that will never be used on this phone. In my opinion, the very small benefit (if any) does not outweigh the very real risk of introducing instability.

We shall see. I'm practically the only kernel dev without an app at the moment, because the whole idea with the aroma installer and elementalx.conf was so that you didn't need to buy an app, and it's important to me to keep it that way. But if people are to purchase an app, I want it to add some real value, which is a bit more convenience.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Viper LABs:
And that's what makes this model amazing. You are not about to cut the half or, in fact, any functionality and we are good to go without app. That's nice! And while I can easily stay with Aroma and elementalx.conf, I will definitely purchase the app just to support your great work!

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dhalham:
Does HDR mode work on this kernel? I have CM11 M8 running 1.02 elemental, but HDR doesn't appear
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Brushstroke:
I don't think HDR mode not working has anything to do with the kernel. That's probably an issue with CM11. I'm using this kernel (the AOSP 1.00 version) on stock 4.4.4 and HDR mode works for me.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] danarama:
AOSP camera doesn't have HDR. Whether or not CM compile it so if you install the google camera from play, HDR works - I don't know.

I know slim gapps are compiled with a fix tallow hdr after the update.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Its a cm issue they haven't fixed yet nothing to do with kernel . here's the fix http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/d...-4/10260-slim-google-camera-compatibility-fix says slim just ignore that ,works perfect on CM
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dhalham:
I did install this, but there was no effect.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
I assumed u were using google camera . u can't have HDR on cyanogen camera, googles hdr is closed source if I'm correct . HDR dose not work on play store google camera without that hack on CM
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Enkiduz:
On THIS 3D, download (and flash ofc) the "Standard Gapps 4.4.4" and you will have HDR+ on CM11 with the Google Camera. Kernel has nothing to do with that!

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bobby_sucker:
Well, i gotta say this is really a smoothest kernel available. I'm periodically testing other custom kernels that are there, with testing different governors, etc. But ElementalX (and therefore, the kernel) governor is really unbeatable. It's not only a best balance between performance / battery consumption, but it's also the best kernel in the sense of : "shoot-n-forget", i mean install and use))

Thx flar2 for this great work, mate!

Cheers
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] NovaSlim:
Yeah, I agree this kernel is truly top notch in every facet, I really love it on both my N5 & N7. The icing on the cake is the express version of the kernel which for a flash-addict like me is a real blessing when I regularly have to re-flash this kernel after dirty flashing nightly/weekly updates of my ROM.

Thanks again to flar2 for this kernel!

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Hardcore69er:
this may be a bad question but.. how come the kernel supports f2fs yet does not have the proper ramdisks?

I am just curious.. and to clarify I just have to install any F2FS kernel then dirty flash element?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] t0mas_:
because it doesn't have its own ramdisk. it modifies existing one. I suppose f2fs requires kernel support also
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
I'm guessing its because he wants this kernel as "stock " as possible and working for all 1600 Roms available . ( less issues )

Yep . right from op

F2FS support

F2FS support is built into the kernel, however, you will need to have an F2FS compatible kernel installed before you install ElementalX to get all the proper ramdisk stuff.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] thelegendofzeth:
ParanoidAndroid uses AOSP or CM's one? Coming from Moto G where there are kernels for custom roms separately and that confused me.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] walpurgisnacht30:
AOSP
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] thelegendofzeth:
Thanks, pal.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dechronic:
I use ElementalX-1.02cm using F2FS-ALL. Read the post below which has a link for the CM based kernel (for the ramdisk) and a modified elementalx-1.02cm (to mount the F2FS formatted system properly)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53949967&postcount=7

If you use the AOSP kernel I can provide links for it and modify the AOSP kernel installer, if necessary and you can test it.

Im getting pretty decent battery life.. But its still not enough to get me through the whole day.. I have 10 hours of college, so I'm planning to underclock the device upto 2ghz, how much will it effect the performance?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] akash3656:
Probably unnoticeable performance hit.

If you want to extend your battery life, just put on flight mode in areas with ****ty signal. Also don't use your phone during lectures and tutorials :)

In some colleges, their WiFi seems to drain more battery than using just data. So you could just give full 3G/4G a try, it may last longer.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] SynnyG:
When you have only vibrations after doing a gesture, it means that the gesture is activated (kernel part) but no action is assigned to it.

Also (correct me if I'm wrong, I can't check actually because I'm on Franco) if the gesture variable is equal to 15, it means that all the direction has been enabled for the gesture

Don't use your phone during school ! No I'm laughing, I was the first man to use his phone during my university cycle :D

I think you'll have no loose in term of perf, I mean outside of bench app (in these you'll see a difference in the score but very little...). I think you can even underclock to 1.9GHz, like on the S600 of the SGS4. Our phone is so powerful that it doesn't have to be overclocked to be awesome, so you can certainly UC ;)

I haven't tested it myself, but if you can tell to us after test the result, it would be nice !
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] towelboy:
I underclocked to 1.5ghz, I don't notice any lags at all. Plus I got about half an hour more onscreen time that I usually would! I don't play games on my phone so I don't know if there'll be lags in-game

and are stock settings from this kernel enought for balace between battery life and performance?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] szucsgf:
Default settings are a great balance of battery and performance. It's recommended to use no kernel app. Read the FAQ in the OP. Enjoy.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] der_sascha:
but i want to make my headphones louder and want to use colour profiles.... so i think i need an app for kernel settings

ok thank you one question left... i ready that spiw2wake etc will drain a lot of battery life. is it same withe external app like TouchControll on this kernel?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] szucsgf:
OK. All kernel apps work. The issue you have to watch out for is addressed in the OP FAQ question 2. Sometimes when you set on boot your min frequency will be confused. If you understand that and know how to work around it then you should be OK using whatever app you're comfortable with.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nadiros:
S2W/S2S adds an extra 2-3% drain per hour, however this kernel has excellent ways to manage this, making it minimal for you're own usage patterns. Power button to toggle and timeouts are simple yet effective ways to deal with our hardware limits with the LCD touch panel.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gravedigger76:
That's the problem

Gestures are activated no errors on xposed log or the module log. Kennel log shows all features applied...screenshots below

But no luck with getting the screen turned on and launching any intents.. Just vibration like its doing it but not
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] szucsgf:
The biggest factors in battery life are:

1. Signal strength (which you might be able to partly manage by changing modems)

2. Wakelocks (which can managed with wakelock detector from Google Play)

3. Screen brightness (managed in the obvious way)

UC has very little impact on battery life. You might gain a few % longer screen on time. Or nothing.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] SynnyG:
Ok, that's strange now ^^ may be you can dirty flash your ROM, reboot in it, clear wake gesture app data, reboot to recovery, reflash EX with the same settings, and re configure the wake intents. If this doesn't work, there is a strange issue !

I've a very bad signal at home with my operator (very bad choice to switch of operator just for the price...), this can explain partialy my "bad" battery life !

Ok, I thought that the UC could have more impact in term of battery life !

Generally, auto-brightness is a good choice ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gravedigger76:
So this gave me an idea that i haven't tried before:

I cleared wake gesture app data and cache and just rebooted and re-setup my intents, and it's working now...

Thanks for the idea mate

:good: [MENTION=5008415]C3C076[/MENTION]

Any ideas why that would be?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] simonarturo:
As far as I'm concerned, no. Auto-brightness is too aggressive for my taste

I use an app called "Lux" which manages light sensitivity and brightness levels. You can even "teach" it how bright you want the screen to be at determined lighting settings. Worked for me, might want to try it out.

I do know that a lot of ppl use auto and are perfectly happy with it. Those are not the ones with the best battery results, though.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] SynnyG:
Nice ! :good: may be the app has didn't applyed the setup you've done, for what reason ? I don't know ^^

Hum ok I will try, thanks for the tips !
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] C3C076:
No clue. Especially when you said there were no errors in the xposed log.

Might be file that stores preferences had incorrect ownership/permissions so it was not readable by xposed preferences helper.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Do all the stuff in post number 2....and you'll get good battery times. How good tho depends what you do with your phone when you use it. A gamer or heavy social app user will never get as much life as someone that doesn't do those things. ;)

Or a bad signal on data....that's battery doom.
