Minor update. I installed cyanogenmod and found I needed to change some lines for the C2 and C3 states. This meant updating the installer process, so as with 0.25, this is still in the testing phase.

Download:

ElementalX-N5-0.26

ElementalX-N5-0.26-express

Changes:

-improve compatibility with various ROMs
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dvdivx:
This is why it's not labelled, the dev spends his time pumping out new releases.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
version 0.26 is on page 304

Once I know that everything is working on 0.26 I will add it to the OP.

I don't like to put stuff in there until it's well tested. It's best that people who follow the thread closely install it first and report any problems.

Hi guys!!! If i don't know, what me set in AROMA Installer in standart version, i must install express version, or what? What version better? Thanks for helping!

P.S Sorry for my Bad English!!!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] atishey23:
Does this kernel only uses 2 cores? I downloaded an app it shows either 1 or 2 cores online? I mean I was not playing any game at that time... But want to know that does this kernel uses all 4 cores??
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Aroma version lets you pick options

Express version uses previous options, or if you haven't installed previously, default options.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Of course it uses all four. If its not, there is something wrong with your system. In which case dirty flash your ROM and reinstall the kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] arbi97:
Thanks for answering!!!! Install Express! I don't understand in the settings in Aroma:silly:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] WarRaven:
I can't quantify it, but 26 feels smoother then 24. I know, I just installed it but, it feels quicker.

Thank you sir Flar2.

Right now I'm playing asphalt 8. I minimized it and go to that app, and it shows only 2 online cores. Is there something wrong. But game is ultra smooth. So what conclusion I can make with this??
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
If you don't know, go with defaults.

Asphalt 8 only uses two cores. Since it's playing smooth, you have nothing to worry about.

Just flash in recovery. You will get all the defaults though if you dont have an elemental.conference file from a previous install of this kernel.

.26 is working great as always.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] akarol:
I know we can change some settings via apps such as Trickster Mod. But when using express, how can we change the thermal presets and ramdisk options? Not all the options from Aroma are present in third party apps.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Not kernel related.

You can't change those with the express version yet
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] deadpedal:
Most settings can be edited with the elemental.conf file and init.d scripts or apps but if you need to change the ramdisk options then why not just use the aroma version? It is super easy and takes no time at all.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] akarol:
I don't really have to. The only settings that I would like to have more control outside of Aroma is the thermal throttling. I've been running express on 25 and 26 fine so far.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] italia0101:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
elemental x.conf is not a script, it's a configuration file. It is read by /etc/init.d/99elementalx.conf at boot. There is no need to do anything if you use the installer, it happens automatically at boot.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drdoulittle:
flar2 you are very fast in Update :laugh:

Kernel 26 run...smooth.

Could not everything on the fast try but now with 26 runs just great.

Let's see what the next 2 days the battery says so. But I am optimistic ... as always when you make a super kernel and harmonizes perfectly with my Rom. I take ever the Aroma Installer.

Is fine and for me perfekt.

:good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] italia0101:
I thought it was runnable so you didn't have to reboot? Or did I dream that lol
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
You run /etc/init.d/99elementalx to apply settings without rebooting.

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gpvecchi:
Hallo flar2! Back again to your kernel...

Suggestion: aroma installer to choose CPU speed but boot @ stock speed to prevent hangs.

Speed may be adjusted later or editing config, or by Trickster app.

I.E.: I set 2.26 Ghz in aroma, I can't overclock later; I choose 2.5, my phone doesn't boot; with my way you can set to 2.5, then try raising it up safely...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] maidenboston:
.26 working good with CM rom for me.

i've been having an a battery drain issue with the latest nightlies of CM (and .24 kernel)

.25 didnt fix it, but .26 did....

also seems smoother for some reason...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I will ptobably make some adjustments

I can't mess with the freqs too much with mpdecision.

Besides, if it won't boot at a certain frequency, it's not stable.

For .26, I installed cm and made sure everything was working.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gpvecchi:
Thanks, just a question:I set the overclock BUS/LN2 with aroma, but I noticed that this is not in the file setting: if I reflash the express version during a rom update, how that value will be set?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] paradoxiumwind:
Installed .26, here's the installer log if that helps any: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=1xBiy1te

So far, no issues.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
If you have elementalx installed when you run the installer, it will use your previous choice. If you have a different kernel installed, it will give you the default, which is overclocked. Same goes for the max frequencies and undervolt.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
Wow.. i downloaded 0.25 & by the time i flashed it, used it for a bit & came back to report...there's 0.26!

if the only changes to 0.26 are CM related, then i think everything else should be similar.

0.25 running great.. it feels a lot snappier thank 0.24

i had moved back to 0.23 but i think this version is definitely an improvement on both

thanks again Flar2

Hi! Flashing Express version on ROM update resets config files and overclock and all other settings.

And I noticed that bootanimation is laggy only if I choose the "overclock BUS" option.

Question: does the kernel support TRIM?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Alfonso87:
Long press on the settings u wanna save, and then confirm tapping on the heart.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Any lag you guys are seeing is caused by something else, not kernel. For example, lag in Play Store is likely caused by loading content. Other cases are probably background stuff going on. Perhaps a wipe and reinstall would help in some cases, or wiping cache and Dalvik. The kernel is identical in .25 and .26, and .24 is barely any different. My changes have been mostly to the installer.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Not configurable (yet)

Updating ROM overwrites the config file and kernel.

I've never seen a problem with the boot animation, maybe you shouldn't oc the bus.

Trim is a mount option, but doesn't matter because my init script runs trim every boot.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
I don't know why I really hate when things start getting too configurable, people start getting confused and it just becomes a mess, there's an alternative in Bricked where you can configure every minor in the kernel, Franco uses 1574MHz touch boost and here you use 1267MHz and if I remember Franco was saying that certain higher frequencies benefit by getting access to higher L2 frequency and DDR RAM frequency or something of the sort, point of this rant is flar2 please keep this kernel flash and forget
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] five40:
0.24 and Cataclysm is running perfect for me. I'm afraid to mess it up.

I've been waiting for a ROM with profiles and customization options like Jelly Bean Carbon...KitKat Carbon is lacking so much.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gpvecchi:
Shouldn't be a good thing to create a backup of the config file for updating ROM?

In effects, I was wrong, boot animation lags are not BUS related... Could this be related to TRIM running during boot?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Could be fstrim, but it could be something else specific to your setup.

I could easily drop the config onto sdcard for safekeeping, but I'm scared to touch it because people were complaining of corruption when I tried that before. I never did figure out why that happened (it never happened to me)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] five40:
Flashed 0.26 now TWRP can't see my internal storage. Flashed CM nightly and I keep getting "Phone has stopped" pop up which renders my phone useless.

I need to restore my backup.

HALP!?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Syk69:
What kernel were you running before? If twrp can't see your internal storage just hit cancel on password popup and reboot into system it does eventually mount data then you can restore to a nandroid where everything works and flash or start over.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] five40:
I was running 0.24 prior.

It eventually saw my files again after countless reboots.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Syk69:
Might have been a bad flash. I know there was an issue on previous versions (.18-.20) but .21 and after never saw that data not mounting problem again.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] five40:
I've seen the "Phone has stopped" pop up before on Vanir and now CM.

Is that kernel related or ROM?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Syk69:
That sounds more like ROM issue, but can't really tell from just that. Vanir uses a lot of CM. Could have been compatibility issues with kernel and ROM. But now with the new .26 version its more compatible with CM ROMs.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
If I were you I'd do a full wipe and start fresh.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] five40:
That's exactly what I did.

I'll just stick with good ole Cataclysm and 0.24

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] notbrodie:
flash and forget is nice, and I like almost everything about this kernel, but the touchboost being 2sec is overkill. even simple web browsing brought my cpu temps into the high 50's. i'm going to blame that on it spending almost every second at 1267mhz. If I could just lower the input boost to .5 or .75, this kernel would be perfection for me.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ninjasalad:
Agreed especially on ART setting the touch boost lower doesn't impact performance at all
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
In comparison to some other kernels ( including stock ) 50° is still cooler than they run . touch boost is perfect on this kernel IMO , heat deff not an issue , even with games it runs cool . from experience reading these threads over the years I can c the second he lowers touch boost there would be 90 people saying it lags and and and .... But just my opinion . I'm not the Dev :P
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] notbrodie:
I'm not saying he should lower it, I'm requesting for it to be user-configurable. I could see an aroma setting that allows you to choose the boost length. I don't have any problem with the freq, but having control is nice

Sent from my Xoom
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gpvecchi:
That's a good thing (I was one with data corruption); but I meant something like an init.d backup script (many gapps use them); I don't know if that's appliable, as some options (overclock, voltage, etc.) are not in the config file, but somewhere else.

BTW, 0.26 is amazing: extremely snappy, great battery life, I got the highest Antutu of every other kernel (Franco, Chaos+, n3o): 35700 (and I'm on CM, Rastakat should give around 1k more). @ stock clock, ElementalX governor, with thermal limit on, SIO 512k.

I just got that results with Bricked (that gave reboots and kills my battery) and Trinity (bug of charging not working with phone off) that don't have gamma control.

Thanks for your amazing work!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] paradoxiumwind:
Off topic question sorry, but what do you like about the latest CM over, for example, Cataclysm ROM? What does it offer that Cata doesn't for example?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
They both offer many more settings than stock, there are some custom settings that catclysm has that cm doesn't and vice versa. I think the charge light is a nice addition on cm. It's more smooth and polished than I thought. I've never been a huge cm fan, but it's pretty nice. I'll use it for a while.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] paradoxiumwind:
Charge light? As in, the LED on the bottom of the phone? If that's what you mean, I recently found out about this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflow

It lets you make the LED flash for almost anything, like new emails, (different colour LED options), and, a LED for charging and when it's fully charged use a different colour, I love it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] garu12:
.26 is running perfectly. Running Omni. Just checking in :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nealkoy:
Web browsing is CPU extensive and probably your temps went high not because of touchboost

being 2 seconds but because the other 2 cores went online and stayed in high frequencies for a longer duration. Would help to select cooler thermally option in Aroma to keep temps down.

And how did you come up with this conclusion if I may ask? Have you lowered touch boost with elementalx gov? I find 1267200 best balance for performance and battery for normal tasks. Go lower then you phone begins to stutter, go higher then you get an unnecessary decrease of SOT even when using only light applications. :)

If battery is more important for you then worth a try to flash Franco or faux kernel. maybe you'll have more SOT but at the expense of losing an overall smooth android experience with your nexus device plus creepy crawly bugs to add ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ninjasalad:
I tweaked some of the touch boost settings in fku app- governor control. I've also lowered touchboost on Franco kernel (which normally lags with stock touchboost settings a tiny bit on dalvik) but IMO with art the performance is fine for me at least
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] notbrodie:
i have my touchboost set at 1ghz for .5sec. my processor temps during normal use don't go above the high 40's. you can make your argument, and I can make mine. different strokes for different folks.
