No, sorry, but Franco renames two files on system when his kernel is flashed, so to get back to stock, you have to rename those files back to their original names or else there can be issues.

He often talks about creating a Flashable zip and whatnot, but I can see from the confusion that this probably has not happened yet

Check post # 5700 on his thread for more information

Fat32 is supported

Whether you need stickmount depends on the ROM. I think any of them will automatically detect fat32. Other filesystems may need the help of an app like stickmount.

Should work with any configuration

You should be able to get four fours of screen time easily with defaults. If you care about battery, don't enable doubletap2wake or sweep2wake.

Your phone should be using all cores, but only when they are needed. I made mpdecison a bit more conservative than stock.

As long as you have the kernel from whatever ROM you're using, it should be fine. The installer tries to make sure the system files modified by other kernels are fixed up.

Up threshold doesn't do anything anyway. It's a remnant from ondemand , which the gov is based on. The only Tyndale's that will really make a diff are sampling rate and ui sampling rate.

would you mind giving me a quick and dirty explanation of the UI sampling rate / UI timeout?

Sent from my Xoom
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
probably

Actually I'm not sure that ui stuff in the governor works. The powerhal/mpdecision combo overrides it. But it would lower the sampling rate during touch events, and the ui timeout would be how long the boost is active after the touch event.

I also kick in the input boost mode when the GPU is ramped up, but I doubt you'll notice much difference tuning this.

Tyndale's (weird autocorrect suggestion) == Tunables (if that's even a word)

I dunno why but no one is replying to my bug which I reported earlier two pages back. So I think no one noticed it or may be its my only nexus problem. So far I liked this kernel, but whenever I scroll on any app, I see some flickering on screen. But the scrolling is smooth somewhat. So what is the actual cause of flickering. I have turned on double touch to wake also.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Seadra:
Posting here to confirm, NTFS does indeed work. But we gotta have stickmount. Without that, kernal doesn't have the inbuilt support for automounting(auto mount is ROM related feature I think). :)

If I have to make changes to kernal now, all i have to do is to edit the config file now right? or I can get a software interface like I got in the start ? or is there an app for this ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
Haven't seen that before..

Maybe you need to do a clean install of your rom?

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] " Details? I don't use multirom, but I think I might try it out"

Hi again !

I mean your kernel seems incompatible with MultiRom even if kexec-hardboot is merged in it... Your kernel with multiRom installed leads to a bootloop on Google's logo, just right before multiRom appears normally. Can't provide any log yet as I'm attending courses until 3.30PM but I'll do as soon as I can if you want. Thank you very much, and hope I'll be able to have your kernel back soon, I'm using Franco for now (multirom working) but my battery is draining much faster.

Cheers !

Hi, flar! Nice to see you here.

The 0.26 version is working properly, and the network speed is faster than I noticed on other kernels. I will run some benchmarks later.

heavy battery drain over night

first thanks to flar2 for the work and effort!!

I received my N5 4 Days ago and since then i'm running stock rom and kernel with Xposed.

The battery life isn't that good compared to the N4 so i decided to try a custom kernel. After reading the threads I decided

to try the ElementalX Kernel. I installed the Kernel yesterday evening with the default settings by a battery percentige from about 75%.

I was been using my phone after this for about 3 hours and turned on airplane mode before i went to bed (60% battery). When i woke up

around 9hours later the battery falls to 20% with no reason. I didnt change anything in the system except of the kernel.

Does anybody have any idea? Did i made sth wrong?!?

Thanks for any reply :good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] aragog53:

like two religions believing in the same god :)

hi guys, so this is something that happens quite often, that two sides discuss over several answers to a questions without recognizing that both answers are in no way contradictory and thus correct, as long as we think the other answer to the end :)

so what does that mean, it means that if you change those two file names you will be fine, that's correct, they have to be changed.

but

they do not have to be changed manually, albeit they can be changed manually. if you flash stock or any other rom which is wiping system and has the necessary file names for those two files included, they will be changed by flashing the rom.

so some guys said, you just flash the rom and you're fine, they are right because flashing the rom usually replaces those two files

and you will be fine.

others said change the files name, they are partly right because yes, the files will be named correctly after that but there is more to it

than only those two file names, some kernels change more than just those two file names.

so to be safe, flash the rom and if it's a rom which wipes the system which is often the case nowadays, you will be fine, to be sure you can still go and

check those two files for the correct ending.

i came from franco/cataclysm config, flashed a pre-rooted stock image, then flashed cataclysm/elementalX config and all was well and the two files were

automatically named correctly with the ending ".so" thus without ".so.bak" at the end.

i wrote this post because flashing stock rom is the safest way, while flashing the intended rom is second, while just changing two file names only works

when coming from franco and is not really sufficient, means flashing rom first will still be recommended and thus changing filenames manually is not

necessary, the rom flash does that automatically.

That depends on your usage, I'd suggest leaving frequencies alone and using the phone for a few days, then you can try dropping frequency afterwards, that way you you know how the underckock would affect your individual battery life....

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I saw you posted this in the Bricked thread too. There must be something wrong with your setup as no one else on either kernel is seeing this.

Welcome to the N5. It does heat up fast, with stock you can't really use all four cores without thermal throttling. I think we're reaching the limit of clockspeeds in small devices like this, as there is just nowhere for the heat to go. The future is more cores and better multithreading in software.

I saw you were asking about GPU oc in the bricked thread. So far there is no GPU overclocking on this device. I've tried a few things (including KControl) and the max freq is always 450MHz. Verified with Adreno Profiler.

Get Better Battery Stats so you can get more details about what is using your battery. Battery drain can be caused by a lot of stuff like background apps, mobile signal, wifi signal, etc. You probably need to turn off the network location thing if you haven't already. Google services sometimes goes crazy on KitKat. And also make certain that doubletap2wake and sweep2wake are disabled.

Many people use Trickstermod. But you don't really need to tweak anything. The default settings are good unless you really know what you're doing.

You could try 1728 and see if you notice a difference. I think the battery savings would be minimal, as the elementalx governor doesn't use the max frequency that much in regular use.

0.27 was an experiment and you should only use it on CM. And you need to stick to the Jan26th and earlier nightlies. They've finally broken compatibility, fragmenting development on another Nexus device.

I haven't decided yet whether I will continue to support CM, I don't think I have time to keep up with their constant changes. It looks like the latest changes are to the display driver. If I can merge these easily and fix it, I probably will.

Question: How many ROMs are based off CM or following all the CM changes?

thanks for reply.

I used now wakelock detector for 2h to see what service/app using my battery most. Its obviously my mail client KAITEN. It's set to check mails every 3h. But it causes wakelocks like hell!! However i've been using the same app with exactly the same settings on my N4 and it didn't drain the battery as much as it does on the N5. What should i do to get rid of it? (except of uninstall the app because for me its the best mail app on the market)

I'm still wondering what causes the huge battery drain last night (40% in 9h on airplane mode) :confused:

For the doubletap2wake and sweep2wake tip you gave me I'm pretty sure not checked them in aroma. I installed the kernel with the default settings as you recomended.

What i did to get better battery is wiping cache/dalvik in TWRP. Now i would say its back on 'normal' :o

thanks for the kernel anyway and keep up the work!!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Seadra:
I already uninstalled the app which the other guy suggested, as I really didn't know what I have to do with that app. There were some general stuff like double tap or swipe gestures but I really don't need those as I love my battery.

Another thing which I wanted to say to you was.. I came across the exact name for the feature I loved on AOKP(with it's default kernel) i.e "Native OTG mounting support kernel for nexus 5". What this kernel has is, support for extensions but we need 2 apps with it, stickmount+any explorer. But with "Native OTG mounting support kernel for nexus 5" , the flash drive or a HDD can easily just mount automatically without the need of stickmount. You just need an explorer and that's it. AOKP ROM has this support. :) But AOKP doesn't have many features for now, so I will stick with catcalysm+ElementalX+some Xposed modules(still have to install, I hope they will be compatible)

DPI sets the display size..

a larger DPI increases the overall look of everything on the screen & a smaller DPI reduces size.

some people like icons, fonts etc to appear smaller than stock, so use a smaller DPI

it's also referred to as LCD density if you are manually changing the DPI in the build.prop file

or you can use any build.prop editor available in the market
