If enabled, it accounts for time spent on io when calculating the system load. Leave it enabled for best performance when your device is reading or writing the disk.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nadrojcote:
Weird, maybe it was just something to do with the original install going wrong, or maybe all I needed to do was reboot. Either way its working now. I find this kernel to be a lot snappier than faux due to gpu problem he has going on. Just gonna have to see how the battery life plays out. I would imagine it will be better because the Gpu actually goes down to 200mhz now.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] FuMMoD:
Would anyone have any idea what would cause the kernel to lock at 1.2ghz and prevent the phone from sleeping?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Chochiwpg:
Mines been locking at 300Mhz as well for whatever reason. More time spent at 300Mhz than deep sleep. Almost 6 hours of my 8 hour day. Hmm
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Apps or system services. Try to find out what's using all your cpu time or creating wakelocks.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cpom1:
despite battery life, would ondemand have more performance than your elementalx gov?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
On-demand will have better performance in some situations and should give pretty good battery life. Elementalx with gboost might perform better in certain graphics intensive situations. No harm in trying them both. Both are good choices.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
Oh yes! a few folks here itself i know have reported immediate reduction in battery drains.

the site where this is noted is quite popular.. so people who know nothing would be the first to post :P

give it a try if you have this problem, if it doesn't work.. no change right ;)

For best performance with on demand governed io_is_busy I have to set 1?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cpom1:
What settings do you recommend for on demand? How do i make it more intense but still give not too draining battery. But more focused on performance than anything.

If anyone else has any settings they recommend please feel free to help. Thanks.

is this kernel have xbox 360 controller support? :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] phositadc:
Quick question about backlight dimmer. If I enable this in aroma when I install, how do I actually use it in my rom? Does enabling the kernel mod simply enable me to use the stock brightness control in Android to lower the brightness, or do I have to use some special app to get the lower brightness?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] knapz:
You use stock android brightness control. It*allows backlight brightness values to go lower/dimmer than stock.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I think so, the driver is built in, but I haven't tried.

Been lurking between this kernel and Show-p's. N24 is very smooth [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]. Using pretty much all the standard features included in aroma plus stock rom. Played a couple of games and performance was great with RR3 and A8. Will check out battery life but never really had any issues with that as long as I made sure to toggle off DT2W.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] CRIME INC.:
So I've read about some of the pros and con's of the " cooler colors", but was wondering what people here thought about them. I personally love them

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Zorrich:
Just wanted to say I love this kernel!

I'm typically someone who runs stock everything because I don't like spending time trying to fix random reboots and unknown odd behaviors. I think sometimes we try to serach for the holy grail, and in that search give up on functionality. Anyways, my Nexus 5 came with a crappy yellow tint, so i needed a custom kernel to use the faux app. Tried another kernel that I ran exclusively on my nexus S, but was having a reboot or two a day. No dice for me. Tried yours and haven't had a single issue in 3 days. Plus, using S2W has been great in the morning and evenings when I use my phone more (which I easily toggle off in the day). My nexus S power button died on me, so anything to reduce stress to that button is golden in my books :)

Keep up the great work, appreciate your vision for this kernel.

Cheers!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] weihan1102:
It is working , thanks

:good: :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] maidenboston:
what are the cons?

i've been using it for awhile now, and experienced no real issues with it...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Obviously I use my own kernel, but I've tried the others and Bricked is my second choice.

The only con is the unknown long term effects of using that setting. So far lots of people have been using it for a couple months and there are no reports of damage. I personally don't use it. Not because I'm afraid of damage,but because I prefer a warmer screen.

As an aside, I'm a semi-professional photographer, and my monitor is calibrated for colour and gamma. The standard 6500K colour temperature does have a bit of a yellowish bias. I'm used to it, and prefer that warmer look. It's a bit of a problem though, because almost every LCD monitor out there is blueish and that's what people are becoming used to. So when I post my photography online (rare these days, since I'm too busy with kernel development) people aren't quite seeing it as intended.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] FuMMoD:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drdoulittle:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
It should be alright. It was a false alarm.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drdoulittle:
I thank you. Your Kernel is great simply.

Take, however, with aroma Installer I simply better find for the users.

Have a really accumulator consumption without Doubletap2wake and Sweep2wake.

Am absolutely a fan of the Elemental X and no Kernel runs as cleanly as yours.

No FC, none self reboots, no falls and all functions on the phone goes to 100%.

Have Franco tested -****

Have Linaro tested -****

Have Faux tested -****

Your Kernel has needed performance, quickness, accumulator consumption really and one to change no Trickser Mod or thus in order in the tension what.

ROW runs really and also under ART no problems.

Really work bro :good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Some guy in the gamma app thread claims he hard bricked his phone after using the cooler colors, it's unclear that was the cause (his phone was off overnight, he woke up and it was dead) and might simply have been hardware failure.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] FuMMoD:
That's complete bs. He's an idiot and that's how rumors get started with cooler colors. Next thing he'll be saying is he ran out of blinker fluid for his headlights.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Zorrich:
I personally see no correlation. I am on my 3rd replacement nexus 5. My 2nd one died exactly how this person's did. I was watching TV, checked my email and continued watching TV. Went to send my wife a text and my phone wouldn't turn on. Tried everything to "wake it up" and nothing worked. At the time it had close to 80% battery left. I did not have custom kernel at all, and was 100% stock.

I googled it a bit and found many other people were haivng the same issues. Some were able to turn in on through various charging tricks and then quickly booting to bootloader, other just had to leave it charged in for 10-15 mins and then hold down vol up/vol down and power for 10-15 secs, others just held their power button down for 30 secs and it brought it back to life. Others (like me) tried all of these tricks and none worked. Phone was just dead.

Point is, this happened to me on complete stock settings.. pretty much exactly the way it happened in this story. It was working fine, then it wasn't.

Min freq CPU?

I've just flashed 0.24 kernel andò it's so snappier!

Someone use the min freq cpu lower than 1247 MHz? I would pur it at about 900 or 1000 MHz is there anyone who tried it? ?:silly:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] CRIME INC.:
Lol. The only con's I read about are what flar posted. That they were untested for long term use, and ppl were unsure of using it. Nothing solid. Didn't mean to confuse anyone, I just wanted ppls opinions

sent from my HAMMERHEAD neXus
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Grondinm:
The min freq is 300MHz...do you mean the max freq when screen is off? If so this can be changed but you might encouter issues doing things like listening to music while the screen is off. of the freq used by touch boost? This can also be changed but then you might notice things get a little more lagy/less responsive upon first touch of screen

No issues here since November 15. I still have that ugly pink hue on roms I flash without elemental.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] XeYex:
I'm using kernel tweaker to set some parameters and it only says max and min cpu freq, without screen on or screen off or other stuff...if I set min cpu freq to 960 MHz it could go right? :confused:

Unlucky for you I tried cooler colors for a week and I still prefer stock colors, looks really blue I like the warmer tones, got a great screen, I'd be screwed if I had to RMA I imported mine
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Grondinm:
Sure that will work but it will cause more battery drain as the phone will never for lower then 960MHz when it would normally go down to 300MHz...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] XeYex:
I've set 960 mhz because the automatic min freq set (at least in kernel tweaker) is 1247 mhz or something similar. Now I would not tha the min freq is different by that wrote in that app :(

Do you know something about? I don't know a lot about nexus 5...I have it by 2 weeks about and before I had only a single core HD2 :silly: so I don't want do something stupid :-/

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] can you add the feature to control thermal ? I mean you put default/cooler/stock in aroma but it would be nice to control it like faux did with his kernel (faux app or trickster to control it)

By controling I mean : this temp disable this core .. This temp throttle that core .. You know what I mean :)

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Grondinm:
That is a false reading cause by touch boost. If you leave it all at default and use an app like CPU spy you will see that the phone does go down to 300MHz when you do not touch it. Touch boost is a feature of the nexus 5(and other devices) which boosts the min freq when you touch the screen to make it instantly more responsive

Current vs Stock Ramdisk

Not sure if this is the right place for this question but can someone please explain what it means by using stock vs current ramdisk. What kind of information is stored in a kernel ramdisk and what the implications are for using one type of ramdisk vs. the other. Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DoesntPostAThing:
Actually, it's not caused by touch boost. In my use, even with CPU spy, it wouldn't go below 1.2 even if I don't touch the phone at all. I think it's because of this: I found two cur_freq files. One is cpuinfo_cur_freq, and the other is scaling_cur_freq. On stock kernel, cpuinfo showed it to be from 1.2 to 2.26 regardless of touchboost. Most apps read off cpuinfo, and would be wrong. Scaling shows it going from 300/1.2 to 1.9, depending on touch boost. Not sure why it was maxed out at 1.9, this was all stock configuration. On ElementalX it shows the proper 1.9. The actual freq used is based on scaling_cur_freq, cpuinfo is just what it sounds like, cpu info. Perhaps flar can provide more information, but this is what I've found.

I recommend using the Faux kernel app if you want to see scaling_cur_freq, it's the only one I've used so far and I know for sure that shows it. Trickster might show it as well, but I forgot.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
You basically shouldn't worry about cpu frequencies on this kernel. They operate properly out of the box.

Good question. The ramdisk (acutally initial ram disk, or initrd) is a root file system that's loaded into memory so the system can get up and running. It's barebones and just has whatever is necessary to get the kernel booting. It also contains some settings. Once the real filesystem is mounted, the initial ramdisk is no longer needed. The compiled kernel and initrd image are contained in the boot.img that you flash whenever you install a kernel.

The stock ramdisk option is just what it says it is: the ramdisk that comes with the stock kernel. It will work with any ROM that uses the stock kernel (or stockish kernel). I've only modified a few things: init.d support is added, a mountpoint is created so shares mounted by apps can be read by other apps (eg: CIFS), tweak mpdecision options and a few small tweaks to ondemand governor (in case you use it instead of elementalx gov)

The current ramdisk option injects my kernel and the simple changes noted above into the existing boot.img. Some ROMs deviate from stock and need their own custom ramdisk. This option allows the elementalx kernel to work with these ROMs. This also allows you to keep any tweaks added to the boot.img by ROM developers.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I don't plan to change it right now. The current solution works well
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] xator91:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] akarol:
Flar,

Anyway you can implement the gamma calibration setup that Neo added to Chaos 9.0? I've been using Google the n5 Gamma Calibration app with your kernel fine. But it would be nice to consolidate it all into one app like Trickster.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
24

I'm noticing on 24 I'm getting some lag here and there that I didn't have with 23 , reboot didn't help , and its not throttling but even when 23 throttled it didn't lag , No one else seems to be reporting this so its strange , i went back to 23 And its perfect agn . don't think logs or anything going to help but wanted mention anyways .
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jlevy73:
I'm pretty hyper sensitive with lags but thus far 24 has been really nice. Are you using ROW or a different scheduler? Are you using dalvik or ART? Based on your post history pretty sure you have thought most of this through. Which Rom are you using btw?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Using cataclysm, with deadline &art , no patches , I like the bang of deadline didn't even try row on 24 . ya I no what u mean as bout hyper sensitive to lags I'm same way . but ya I think I'm only one to mention a lag on 24 so must be my phone . I'm really happy with 23 I'll probably just wait on 25 . just wanted to mention just in case there was anyone else
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jlevy73:
Hmm, only difference between your setup and mine is I'm using row, and I'm using the bionic patch with art. Unfortunately the nexus is like a snow flake, no two are alike :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Sayan1987:
Fyi bionic patch is just for dalvik, art is not affected.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jlevy73:
Bionic is runtime independent. It improves arithmetic operations and memory access. Nothing to do with runtime. You can flash it on both ART and Dalvik.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DoesntPostAThing:
Don't want to get everyone suspicious, but I just noticed a bit of lagging in the Play Store. Now, this could be due to the kernel, Play Store updating (unlikely, as it wasn't an issue on my N5), or just the odd stutter. But let's observe some more before jumping to conclusions :)

FYI, I'm on default settings with deadline. Installed 0.23 aroma and 0.24 express in the same flash. Not sure if that was such a good idea.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] paradoxiumwind:
"use current ramdisk"

or

"use stock ramdisk"

over a clean install of Cataclysm?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Hi,

Bionic optimization is used if you're running ART runtime... It's not only for Dalvik runtime (like jlevy73 said).

It's the Dalvik optimizations which are not used if you're running ART runtime...

You should take a look HERE ;)

Sorry for the OT :angel:

:)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Cataclysm (or PA or stock ROM) uses stock kernel so choose stock ramdisk

ROMS like Slimkat, CM, Droidkang you use current ramdisk
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nic025:
Deleted
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] stumpy352:
OK, so let's say I was running a ROM with the stock kernel & I chose 'use current ramdisk' wouldn't I end up with the same result as if I chose the stock ramdisk option? By my way of thinking doesn't that make the stock ramdisk option redundant since the installer does the same thing to your 'current' ramdisk even if that ramdisk is the 'stock' one.
