Probably not.

I would really, really recommend anyone having problems to do a clean install, as in wiping caches and data. The problems that have been discussed on the last few pages are not kernel related.

You will NOT have issues with this kernel on a nice, clean install.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Badgerkiller:
Flar do you know why logfile is written twice on OmniROM ?

If I flash stock kernel before the issue disappear :eek:

Thanks !

Don't help u none but youtube works fine here on stock ROM Gbox installed . if u have other mods or hacks installed try removing them , if your not running stock ROM check your Roms thread for your issue .

Amazing kernel!! Totally satisfied with the battery life!! Just love it..!! Thanks a lot!!

Never had such good battery life till now!!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
init.d is being run twice. This happens with some ROMs, there shouldn't be any bad effects from it, but I'll try to remember to fix it in the next version. The installer for the cm version has this fix already.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] IRX120:
I flashed 0.38, and ever since have noticed graphic glitches, the screen flashes black, with glitchy lines for a half second or so, kinda weird this only started the day after updating tho? I guess others are having this issue as well? I'll go back to 0.36
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JmPTaz09:
Just flashed perfect KitKat which has this kernel packaged with it and it is super responsive, smooth, fast, all those adjectives! The ROM is 90% stock so that helps, as stockish Roms tend to be fast.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
What Rom? Any particular app this occurs with?

Did you wipe wipe and do a clean install?

I cannot think of ANY reason the kernel would cause this. It only happens for a few people. Have aany of you tried wiping the cache?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] peecs121:
Best release to date. Did a test last night and in 7 hours I lost only 7% that is amazing. Keep up the great work!!!

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] howard bamber:
Why on earth are you messing about with the settings???

The whole idea of the kernel is to set it and leave the f#### alone. No trickster mod etc. Just let it do its stuff. If that's not you imo move on to something else with 45 govoners etc and twiddle away. Just saying

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] olivierg13:
The whole idea for me of a custom kernel is exactly to play with settings.

By the way, I was not blaming the developers who are doing an amazing job, but just sharing my experience if someone encounters the same problem.

In brief, I am fully aware of the danger for the phone to play with it. Just saying

if everyone complaining about these glitches used one of those apps then I may have found the issue and they can stop blaming the kernel or devs can work together to fix it . I don't no what u mean by your comment but if its what I think u mean it dosent help anyone . thanks .
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] CRIME INC.:
The only time i get the graphical glitches, is in my messaging app

And its only for like a split second. I did however use softkeyz. Maybe that's the culprit

Noob question:

Does changing the kernel read ahead size affects the battery life ? I am getting better scrolling in aps whit 1024 instead off 512
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] leafs44:
This happened to me on franco 47. I flashed this kernel because of it, and it stopped the electronic noise - stutter. I don't really know what's causing this.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Yep , I uninstalled it dirty flashed and glitches stopped, I wonder how many other people have used that app that have those glitches
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] r0cky0790:
Well actually I accidentally deleted my post but I'll reexplain myself. I 1st off said I personally had no problem with your post. Everyone got overly defensive because the guy was explaining basic forum rules in a sense. Yeah he came off wrong but its true. People clog up the thread with silly issues which isn't flars problem. Which is why people hate searching through threads when they need to find something. They guy specifically said he posted a issue just in case some experienced what he did. In reality no one has the same device especially when people tinker to their liking. Which means he even you really wasn't helping the thread. Anyone who uses anything besides the regular settings should be weary of what they post because the problem again may not be Flars. In a sense you caused it. So why do people have to respond to nonsense and read ignorance. No I'm not mad I'm just explaining my comment. Now that you found out your issue, don't you NOW think it was appropriate to post that in a thread with the subject of the app in question? Of course you do! For the last couple of days certain members, even Flar has to keep explaining, this is not a kernel issue and frankly its getting kinda old.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] yankees45us:
Thinking of using this kernel on my stock rooted kernel. Currently running uber, can I just flash or any suggestions? Don't want to mess with any rom flashing as I'm still running stock. Thanks
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
the glitch issue is mentioned over and over and over we all no its not the kernel but for some reason it happens after flashing this kernel and of course the kernel gets blamed , so maybe not useful or helpfull to u it may be useful to all the dozens of people that have the issue and we can finally get rid of the mention of this over and over, so was my post helpful ? Ur damn right it was . anyways u have a great day .
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] r0cky0790:
That was the biggest contradiction in XDA history. "For some reason it happens after flashing this kernel" but YOU know its not the kernel. Yeah bruh, big help.......on clogging the thread.....

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] can you please add the option to choose CPU governor in the kernel setup? I remember in older versions I could choose between ondemand and elementalx
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Omg , Wow . I don't no how long u have been trolling here on XDA but if it's more than a day then u no every issue gets blamed on the kernel , I'm speaking for those people that balme the kernl .... hopefully u understand this time because I can't speak any slower for u . I'm done with this crap and blocking u so I won't get to see your dumb reply . agn have a great day .

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
I Used zipthemer and softkeys app back to back so I wasnt sure which one caused it , after the other guys post I thinking its softkeysz not zipthemer
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Syk69:
I think your post was helpful. Helpful to all those users reporting the graphical glitches. I don't see anything wrong with trying to find out what the issue is. That's the whole point of a development thread :)

Rocky seems to be just tired about reading anything to do with it lol. But anyways hopefully you found the culprit. I myself never experienced this issue. So definitely not a bug in the kernel. Maybe just the way the app accesses the GPU drivers is incompatible with the kernel. Or maybe has something to do with using the cooler color screen option? I know I never use that.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] FuMMoD:
Awesome job on figuring out it was softkeyz causing problems guys. I was actually going to start using that app but held off when I read there might be issues with it. You guys have just confirmed and I'll be holding off on it. Only time I had graphic artifacts was on an older beanstalk build and 0.36 CM version. I haven't had a since issue on the latest beanstalk and elemental combo.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
Could be softkeys in general or perhaps that particular softkey..

i don't use the nav bar at all, so it could be that..

perhaps if you remember which softkey it was, maybe it can be confirmed?

Also, if all those who are seeing this problem could confirm that they are using softkey mods?

perhaps that would help in resolving this issue as well
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] r0cky0790:
I don't want to come off as a troll, if you guys were able to see the post that I accidentally deleted you guys would of understood were I was coming from. Its very evident that people post comments about the kernel when in reality its not the kernel. Who am I to stop them, nobody. I was just defending the guy who was suggestion to use regular settings, reflash without app tweaks, etc before posting your issue's. I'm pretty sure i'm not the only one who feels this way....
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
It's cool mate...

this has always been a friendly & helpful thread so let's keep it that way..

it really doesn't help pointing fingers or dismissing anyone, as it just stokes the ego

you remember, we had a similar 'discussion' too earlier in this thread about me saying that i was suffering lags on one of the versions & you were sure it was only placebo? ;)

each device behaves differently so it would be nice if we can help fix as many of these minor issues as possible...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] paychex:
I use Softkeyz not seeing anything like that.

---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------

read ahead buffer? probably insignificant additional battery drain to maintain the buffer
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Syk69:
Yeah I agree. That's what I do and should be done. I never kneejerk react and immediately come on here to post about an issue without first trying to troubleshoot it myself by seeing if the issue happens even with stock kernel settings and clean flash. Just to make sure its not anything else. Also understanding what the kernel does helps eliminate blaming the kernel in the first place. Knowing some issues have nothing to do with the kernel.

But drawde was being helpful to find the culprit and avoid future blaming of the kernel by users and "polluting" the thread with said issue.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] paychex:
45 C is not hot for this phone. I've seen 70+ C. But you already stated your problem. You should be able to find the solution on your own
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Syk69:
Do you use cooler color screen option? Just wondering if it might be combo of softkeyz with that configuration. Trying to see what might be causing incompatibility.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] szucsgf:
To be safe I recommend reflashing stock kernel first. Flash stock kernel, boot into system, then flash ElementalX. You could do this either by dirty flashing a stock rom build or the stock kernel. Both can be found in the N5 forum.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Bladeage:
After a huge error in my ext4 partition (I think because oft the 0.38 Version)

I rescued my phone and changed back to 0.36.

Btw: DroidKang Rom is back alive :)

Go and check it out!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] yankees45us:
I just did that exactly. I flashed my backed up stock kernel and flashed elementalx with aroma. So far so good. Can't wait to see how it does tomorrow. I've been on uber kernel with stock rom and running art. We will see. Thanks

Why USB otg doesn't work on this kernel (some USBs work and many doesn't work)?? I haven't undervolted or any thing.(have selected exfat system if that's a problem). I'm on mahdi ROM,, the stock kernel of mahdi is ideal for USB otg atleast for me,, but it has battery problem for me. But this elementalX has great battery,, PLZ dev fix this if it's a bug or let me know what I'm doing wrong in flashing the kernel. Is there any thing I can do in aroma installer to make otg work?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] paychex:
Otg works
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] thereal_bigjake:
Works on all 32gb drives but not my 128gb drive.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
I did some testing after my earlier problem -- I reflashed my ROM before flashing the express version of 0.38. It works flawlessly with a third party kernel tweaker. Bit of excessive battery drain, but I think that came with flashing. Will report again tomorrow.

Just thought I'd point this out as an alternative to those in the past who wanted to customize more easily.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Must not happen to everyone , I duplicated it agn with my phone and that app , remove the app restore backup issue gone . dunno .. I don't use it on the regular , I just happen to try it to see what these rumored new softkeys looked like .

That's up to [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]. Some devs like that idea. Some do not.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Eliranu:
Guys I found the reason for those glitches and random lags

Its because of the CPU governor

What you have to do is to download a app which allows you to change the governor of all the 4 cores and not just one

Apps like kcontrol or kernel tuner will do the work

After changing the CPU governor to ONDEMAND for all the four cores change also the I/O scheduler to SIO

Make sure you did this steps right and check if the lag is gone

For me the phone now is ridiculously smooth with zero glitches or lags
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] atishey23:
Can u tell what have u selected in aroma installer?? Coz I have a serious otg issue which is really annoying to me:(

Otg was working fine with mahdi stock kernel so I guess it's elementalX for me which is causing problem. I'm not saying that otg is not at all working,, it is working for 2 out of 4 USB of mine.

Some MicroSd card readers also don't work with this kernel. I've posted a few times about it with a link to the actual card reader I was talking about but got no answers...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Surfinette:
Same for me on.38. No time out if set time out for 1 minute.

I was also wondering if there would be trick to set time out for dt2w/s2w to less than a minute (on my previous phone, I was using just 10 seconds!)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
let's narrow things further down

adding my observation concerning the matter:

- graphic glitches started for me about a week ago the first time with "chaos kernel" so not unique behaviour with this kernel !!! :)

- i'm not using softkeyz or any other navbar mods

- happend this morning on elementalX .38

- always happened directly after booting, both after making kernel or rom changes and today without any changes to kernel or rom

- using xblast not gbox like others so there seems to be no difference between the two

- using cooler colors

- i'm on CM M5 and before that on CM nighlies for some time

this information should serve those observing the matter to get as much info as possible and map out certain culprits

as the alone responsible, while someone mentioned a possible combination in the config that could play together that way.

my focus currently is on a combination of CAF-ROM(s), cooler colors, kernel ( kernel only in combination with other factors so don't defend )

next thing to do for me is to switch from cooler colors to a color profile provided in franco's fku app and since the event is quite rare

will have to watch that for a week probably. will gonna do that now since i want to finish the observation of that specific config upon

release of CM M6 which i will install upon release.

keep watching all together because this is relatively new ( 2 weeks max ) and before that i never came across this issue neither on

my device nor in this thread, at least not in the current concentration.

those who do not want to take part or don't encounter any graphic glitches, just keep cool and let us others narrow things down

should anyone feel the need to open a separate thread for this, it's a possibility but as long as so many mention that in this

thread with suspicion towards the kernel itself, it might make sense to stay here since it still is one possibility that some

compatibilities broke after 0.34.

after having switched to color profiles from cooler colors i will go back to .34 if the result is not satisfactory and watch things further.

final point: in my case, a reboot always solved the matter for many days to come :)

Current Devices:

I9100, PAC-ROM 4.3.1 ( Formerly Omni, PA, Dorimanx, etc. )

N7000, 4.1.2 TouchWizz All Stock ( very motivating to continue flashing custom roms further haha.... )

N7100, Cyanogenmod 11, Xposed Framework ( Formerly AOSNP, PAC, Omni, PA, Devil, Thor, AGNI up to 2.7.6, etc. )

Nexus 4, Cataclysm 4.4.2, Franco Kernel r203, Dalvik & Bionic Patched, Xposed Framework ( Formerly PAC, PA, Cataclysm, Faux, etc. )

Nexus 5, Cyanogenmod 11, ElementalX, Xposed, ( Formerly Cataclysm, Franco & FKU Color Control, Dalvik & Bionic, Faux, Bricked, Chaos etc. )

Someone had an issue with the audio? In which the phone's audio isn't working when you (for instance) increase or decrease the volume?

I had it 3 times in last with .38 but never with .34

......hey guys....sorry to be a pain in the butt....but doesn't it make sense just to run the kernel on your desired stock Romwith out any apps and move from there.....there are just so many combinations there.....as flar mentioned....clean install....no Rom tweaking apps....and move from there....seems more logical to me this way rather than speculating.....

In a nutshell I have never had any issues with this kernel.....
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] choosetobelieve:
I believe that this issue is a known issue in nexus 5. I had the same issue on franco kernel. The issue disappears several days in my case. The only work around is to open an app such as message app then you will find that the volume button starts working again. However, if you close the app, the volume button does not work.
