20% in 8 hours is way too much, that's about how much I get with dt2w enabled. Normally I would lose maybe 4% in 8 hours.

You should definitely stop using the simple GPU governor. It's completely broken, the frequency jumps all over the place constantly. I've already removed it for the next version.

No big loss, because I've tuned gboost to work with ondemand GPU governor anyway. I may make a slightly more aggressive GPU governor, but I have no time for that at the moment. It's not a matter of tweaking the current governor (which is sort of what simple does), I'll have to implement something different and separate it from trustzone (which is used by the ondemand GPU gov). If you mess with the trustzone stuff at all, the GPU goes crazy. Trustzone is a "secret" part of the SOC. Ondemand makes a couple calls to this "black box".

Incidentally, I suspect this secret part of the chip probably holds the key to overclocking the GPU as well.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ganeshp:
OK I'll stick with ondemand GPU governed then ..the reason I went with simple GPU governer is that it is providing smooth experience with less stutters over on demand GPU governer when I'm using the list view animation present in xui mod- xposed module ( its a wave effect ..pretty cool I would say).

And yeah I know about trustzone ..I messed a lot in firmware level on my previous device (HTC sensation )

Anyways I'll observe it more ..try to find the culprit behind this. If I was unable to find it ..I'll shoot you with questions :) ( normally I will lurk around your git repo to find it myself though)

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]: Found an issue with an App I use. It won't run then your Kernel is installed - try to start app results in a black screen and an FC after a few seconds.

With other Kernels problem doesn't exist. Maybe you can look at this issue.

Totally agreed that mpdecision is the best way to have smoothness and still good battery life ! Leave it on ! Other kernel that use an other hot plug don't get the smoothness that we have and battery life isn't better than our :)

By the way flar2 did you read the post about enabling C states like Franco and faux did ? May we enable it now via a app or command ?

Hi,

Use Trickster Mod for these settings: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bigeyes0x0.trickstermod&hl=fr it will be more convenient.

It will be in the "General" tab then i/o Scheduler and i/o scheduler settings.

I don't know... I love this kernel but every time I'm using elementalx governor it skips a lot in the xda app while browsing.

Might switch to on demand and check battery performance.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Alfonso87:
Try the scheduler tweaks posted before
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kurnis:
I tried that but xda app is still jittery a little bit. I mean, I love the governor for everything else and I don't notice this anywhere else, but I do use the xda app a lot. So... I'm not sure what I'm gonna do yet.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
Use elementalx governer

Use ROW as your scheduler

do not undervolt (in aroma you get stock option, though i think 750 is default selection) choose stock

set read ahead buffer 256

turn f-sync off

everything else stock settings

do note, XDA app & Tapatalk are known to be 'bad apps' that usually show these lags, jitters, etc on almost any phone/kernel

so not advisable to use that as a benchmark to gauge performance of kernel

i had similar issues, the above settings solved almost everything
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] WarRaven:
Interesting, only issue I see with tapatalk is load times, that's not kernel as it's there stock or not.

Other wise, not a single stutter here for me.

I really appreciate all the support guys. :) great community for this awesome kernel!

Undoing my undervolt made it a little smoother. It's passable now for sure and I'll keep it as is for now.

Haven't tried Tapatalk but maybe I'll give it a go.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jgw1985:
How come I only see 2 cores active with this kernel. Is it a setting a skipped on installation? Tried changing turning others on, but nothing sticks.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] monkboy24:
The other CPU cores are only active depending on what the workload is. This is the way to control battery consumption. N
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jgw1985:
So when I run a benchmark it activates the 2 cores and gives me the correct score?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] pikachukaki:

Just wanted to say thanks [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] for this awesome kernel!

Slimkat 2.3 weekly + ElementalX 2.4

EDIT: XDA app only uploaded 1 of the 3 screen shots. Here are the other 2.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dead0:
rather than disabling touchboost, how about lowering the cpu speed down to say 1036mhz or or even 960mhz from the default 1267mhz? if u would like to test a version of the latest slimkat (v2.4 weekly) with a lower touchboost (at 1036mhz) and elementalx 0.24 with a few tweaks, drop me a pm and i'll send u a link. its more of a hack job but runs very smooth.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] harrisonp:
kernoob questions!

Hi there, thank you for providing a custom kernel for the Nexus 5. I just got mine today from Best Buy thanks to their price-matching of Amazon Mobile. It cost me $35, best deal ever.

Anyways, my question is: will installing this kernel force me to wipe my data / apps I have installed presently? I used to do this with my Galaxy 1 when I was living in Korea, but it's been a couple years and I don't really know how kernel swapping works these days.

Thanks,

Harrison
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
You got the N5 for $35?? :)

Anyways, if you are on stock ROM & kernel, just go ahead and flash the zip

follow instructions in Aroma

Don't make any changes if you dunno what it does..

the default settings are perfect for all uses
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] harrisonp:
Yeah, Amazon Wireless has it for $35 with a new 2 year / upgrade 2 year contract in the U.S.A.! Best Buy then price matched so I didn't even have to pay shipping. Best deal ever.

Okay, great! So flashing this zip will not delete my apps / user data?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
Nope.. nothing will happen to anything
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Frausbite77:
Pretty cool, so how did you set up the kernel? Best I can ever get is maybe 3 hours onscreen time and 28 hours....
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] rootuser11:
i love you
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] arararagi:
There's a new version with a different formula (to add more steps in between minimum and stock minimum) on the github you might like to look at.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Syk69:
The slightly cooler preset is nice! Not too blue and less yellow from stock. Liking it a lot!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
There is now an option to use the same color preset as on franco.

You can switch between stock and the preset by putting a 1 or 0 in:

/sys/module/mdss_dsi/parameters/color_preset

1 = slightly cooler

2 = stock

You have to turn the screen off and on to see the change.

I haven't figured that out yet. GPU is totally different than what we're used to on this device.

-Leave mpdecision on

-ondemand is the best governor

-I haven't experimented with setting different frequencies on each core. Some people on my other kernels set the first cpu a bit lower, since it's on all the time. The others will kick in at a higher frequency when there is a load. I haven't experimented with this, so I don't know how it would perform on this device.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bluegizmo83:
Oh yeah for sure, I understand that people have families and stuff. I wasn't trying to sound ungrateful or impatient or anything. I was just curious if he ran into some issues with 0.5 or something.

Any possibility of adding FauxSound or any other similar implementation to ElementalX?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] derukun:
How exactly do we change the colour preset? I'm trying from a file manager on my N5 but it won't let me save any changes.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] boykomac:
The sound patches are included with elementalx, you only need to get the app to adjust presets etc.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Alfonso87:
To change the colour preset you must give root access to your file manager. For example, with ES File Explorer, touch the upper left icon and then TOOLS -> root explorer ON . Then look for your file, open it with the notepad of that file explorer and change the value from 1 to 2 and viceversa to see the differences.

Great work with S2W *_* the color preset is a nice feature too, same for the backlight dimmer. I really appreciate your promise to recalibrate the overall brightness levels, would be great :D

I would ask you, what changes will we see with the implementation of showp's framework (a part for the d2w feature :D)?

Thank you
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kashix:
Just flashed this omg, it's damn smooth, pairing it with stock rom! did as told, flashed back stock kernel then flash beta 0.5! the aroma installer is a nice feature, got a shocked though, wasn't expecting anything, thought I bricked my phone haha :D enabled cooler color now I have the best of both worlds with franco color setting and s2wake! just to check, part of the process in the installer, it says UV700 or smth, the kernel by default is undervolted?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ballaz:
enable R/W or enable it when flashing the kernel in aroma.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kashix:
simply navigate to /etc/elementalx.conf and edit it with text editor, I use ES File Explorer with root permission and you can change it to the have the cooler color that you want, just reboot for it to take effect! Hope that helps!

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Frausbite77:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
I think Franco raised touchboost in his kernels because it had no effect on battery. This kernel is great on battery best I've used on N5 , IMO don't really see point of lowering "stuff" to get extra 2% battery when it would effect performance. Just my opinion no need to " battle " :)

---------- Post added at 06:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 PM ----------

I was getting simular usage as u . but U can get that 4 hours without using that app , and without disabling anything with this kernel. I get 3.5-4 now with everything Google syncing in background , screen at 55 all day everyday . all I did was change location mode to battery saving and it upped my battery 45min -1hour more and that new Google services update helped a lot also . give that a try before using apps like that
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nealkoy:
Agreed. There is no need to degrade performance for the sake of extra battery. The developer did a very good job in balancing both with elementalx governor while maintaining it's smoothness. I really love this kernel as it has the smoothness of stock but twice the battery life.

Best way is to check and control running apps and services for increased battery life.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
New versions for testing. Most of the changes are to the installation and ramdisk rather than the kernel itself.

Don't rush to install, let a few people install and see how it goes. I always get nervous when I make a lot of changes to the installer.

Touchboost should be working with latest Cyanogenmod. I didn't install it to test, could someone let me know?

I enabled C2 and C3 states. I'm not seeing much difference, but only time will tell.

The green line at the edge of videos played in portrait position is gone.

The colour/gamma interface has been updated. It will now work with the latest version of N5 gamma, but won't work with older versions. I don't know about franco's app. If it doesn't work now, it will soon.

Simple governor has been removed, if you watch it, it was jumping all over the place. I may add another GPU gov in the future.

Installer makes proper cmdline when choosing existing ramdisk option (thanks [MENTION=3418703]Tasssadar[/MENTION] for the head's up)

Updated the Aroma installer to latest 2.70RC2 (was using Beta 6)

Express installer now keeps your previous maximum frequency, l2 and undervolt options.

Download:

ElementalX-N5-0.25

ElementalX-N5-0.25-express

Changes:

-remove simple GPU gov

-update gamma sysfs interface (credit: myfluxi)

-enable C2 and C3 states

-maintain touchboost in all ROMs

-update Aroma Installer to 2.70RC2

-fix installer cmdline creation

-fix green line on videos

-express installer keeps previous max freq, l2 and uv options

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] paradoxiumwind:
I lost the post, can someone remind me where the file is that shows what settings you used when installing the kernel?

Also, what settings is everyone else using? I (hence the question), forgot what I chose, but I'm getting pretty nice battery life with this and Cataclysm ROM. I love this kernel.

I don't think I modified any of the default underclock/undervolting options, has anyone done that without experiencing instability and better battery gains? Well, obviously you'd get better battery gains, right? But I was afraid to mess with the defaults there incase it was unstable, didn't have time to test when I first installed it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GialanG:
How much SoT do you have with that config? I only have at most ~5 hrs SoT with UV -75, UC to 1.7GHz (system is stable)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] paradoxiumwind:
I haven't really done any testing like that. One day this week I'll probably do some testing. By SoT I assume you mean screen on time? So on thursday probably when I won't be needing to use it I'll keep the screen on for as long as possible to test how long the battery lasts.

Also, does anyone know if "Wi-Fi Optimisation" option actually saves battery, or consumes more?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
No no no :P . Leave settings at defult for kernel then Just use your phone like u normally would in your day to day life dont baby it or anything just use the phone normal ,when it gets to 1% check your SoT ( screen on time ) in the Battery usage settings , do that 2-3 times ( i like to do it over 3 days ) from full charge, then take an average , then go mess with whatever settings in kernel and run that few days , ..... IMO this is best way to get a real life SoT that means something besides a screen shot .
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GialanG:
It's not proper way :P . When your phone is idle, even with screen on, CPU works at a lower speed, so does the GPU. If you just leave your phone screen on and don't touch it, it can last much more. So use your phone as usual, then check your SoT like people do here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2509132 (you can check with BBS or the in-built Battery feature)

I have a general question that I believe isn't kernel related but is bugging the crap out of me. Does anyone have a problem with Google now? I'm having no problem when I swipe from the home screen on stock GEL getting there. But when I flick the Google now button from the home button it takes me to Google now but then freezes and won't go away. Also the watch TV card forces close on me all the time as well. I had a fresh install just last night. Wiped everything. Not sure if its bc of the newest update to Google now or what but wanted to get the opinions of people here to see if its kernel (which I don't believe to be the case).

Was working on stock as soon as I got up and running but not sure when the app (Search) updated in accordance.

Installs and the Aroma Installer is better now because you can cancel the flash.

The installation went smoothly, aroma is running clean, fast and all choices are accepted.

In addition, the Aroma is no longer as restless.

25 kernel runs on Cataclysm and so far no problems.

Battery kernel 24 on Cataclysm was great.

Now you have to see how the 25 reflected.
