Anyone experiencing broken WiFi hotspot ? I get error and it glitches up my WiFi until reboot

Edit: Seems to be a rom issue
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DoesntPostAThing:
Was the option to disable backlight dimmer removed? I prefer it disabled.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Can you notice a difference with the current implementation? It allows you to dim the screen further than stock, but you don't have to.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DoesntPostAThing:
Thing is, my Nexus 5 has a bit of what I think to be light bleed. It is unnoticeable at stock lowest brightness, but once you go lower than that it becomes really annoying. I've RMA'd that one for other reasons, and the new one has the same thing as well. Barely a problem at all at stock 0 brightness, but a quarter of the display is brighter than the rest at the lower lowest brightness. Sure, I can not go that low, but when the screen dims before turning off it always goes to the lowest. Also when using auto it sometimes goes down to the noticeable levels.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] #sharath:
I have updated the app, but cant see the option to set the kernel to permissive. :confused:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I forgot about that
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jun_ng_1208:
If I'm not mistaken, that option is only available during the zip flashing process in recovery :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
You can change it in elementalx.conf as well

Or set permissive at any time by typing:

su

getenforce 0
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vickyjusme:
I think it's setenforce 0 [emoji14]
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Yes, you are right.

getenforce shows the current mode

setenforce 0 makes it permissive

setenforce 1 make it enforcing

adding config parameters

There are some config settings that I would like to apply at boot, but aren't in /etc/elementalx.config. Can I just append them to the end of that file?

Example, just add this line to set the max GPU frequency and have it take effect each boot:

Echo 200000000 >> /sys/class/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/max_gpuclk
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
That won't work. elementalx.conf is not a script, it just holds settings.

You could put that line into a file in /system/su.d and it will run at boot.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] : Good Day, I flashed the 2.10 express version on my SAOSP build (latest) and edited the elementalx.conf file (proper permissions, root explorer) but when I reboot, the settings revert to default, even though the conf file shows otherwise. I don't have any kernel app installed. flashed on a clean install and have tried various things but the settings don't stick at boot. using superSU 2.46

Any help would be appreciated (other than using the aroma installer :p)

What I have to do?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ps89:
Hello everyone. I'd like to ask some very stupid questions here.

1. Do I need to install SuperSU before installing ElementalX?

2. Do I need to install the ElementalX app after installing ElementalX using Aroma through a custom recovery?

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jaibar:
Why not use the aroma installer? At least for the first time, as is recommended in OP/faq? Then you can go changing stuff in conf file.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] _insayn_:
great update, will flash right away.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] siren215:
I noticed battery drain on 2.09 and 2.10. Around 12 to 15% over nyt drain and 5 to 6 % drain on normal usage. Reverted back to 2.05 and everything back to normal. I am still figuring out what changed in those latest updates. Same config, nothing changed no extra apps installed. Thx.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] cat explosion:
Great kernel, I love the balance of performance/juice.

It will be perfect if there is zram and ksm support!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] y0y0y:
I may have to. But I fail to understand why the conf file has no effect on boot even though it is used as a reference by the kernel (correct me if I'm wrong)

perhaps [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] can shed some light..

regards,
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ciano865:
no drain here but I've flashed 2.09 with update of new CM12 nightly so something like a "clean" install. Awesome battery profile :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gpvecchi:

awesome battery life with Cataclysm.

Hi i m having bug with yt video playing it somethimes (skips or freze) is it known bug or?

I m running kitkat
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sherlock5545:
Definitely not related to ElementalX.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] princem131:
I know battery life is incredibly subjective and dependent on many factors, but curious what if any tweaks you're using with the kernel. I agree that I'm seeing better battery life with EX and I've continually been playing with the settings to try to get more out of it. Always like to hear what others are doing for some inspiration if you don't mind sharing.

I mainly under clock between 1497-1728 screen on and have been playing with 652 or so with screen off lately and have played with undervolting a bit but I'm very cautious here since I'm not the most proficient with uv yet. Been using battery saver mode at work the last few days and honestly even clocked that low performance isn't too bad for my needs during an average work day.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nathanjp:
For some reason after flashing ElementalX. I've noticed animations breaking when going into multitasking when using an app. This did not happen on stock kernel. I always around 1.2 gb free ram and I have not undervolted or underclocked my processor. Just wanted to know whether this is a kernel issue or a lollipop issue
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] _insayn_:
I have flashed 2.10 everything with recommended settings, only undervolting cpu a bit and without swipe 2 sleep. It works well with CataclysmROM. Am using "Disa beta" for SMS/WhatsApp/Facebook as combined messenger, minimizing wakelocks/processes a bit. I never use battery sceduler and get minimum 1.5 days of use, always connected to internet (wifi/hsdpa+).
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ps89:
Is root or SuperSU compulsory in order for the ElementalX kernel to function?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] leafs44:
no. for the app and editing elementalx.conf you need root, but you don't need root to install/use the kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ps89:
Thanks for the information. :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] till22:
I like to listen music during work, but also have to pick up the phone sometimes (work phone, not cellphone reproducing the music). I want to pause the music to be able to continue where I left when finishing the call.

Is there a possibility to turn on dt2w only when playing music (I suppose this is possible with Tasker, in my case something like "Launch VLC > turn on dt2w")? I remember seeing some Tasker stuff passing by a couple of weeks ago and if I remember correctly these were for dt2w, but I can't seem to find them anymore. Would someone be so kind as to advise?

EDIT: I was searching for "d2tw" and not "dt2w".. Hehe. Found this, going to have to try and play with that a little, unfortunately I'm just a Tasker beginner.

huge battery drain

Hey guys,

just wanted to report that I had huge battery drain since 2.10 ( not 100% sure if it wasn't the in 2.09 cause i had it only installed on night).

I left it uncharged over night and lost about 40% in 8 hours, which is pretty horrible. First i wasn't sure if the kernel was the problem, but after I installed the latest stable version, 2.05, it's wayyyyyy better.

Another thing is that with v2.10 the battery usage reporting was broken. I had just 20% battery left but all the "battery consumers", like display, android system... , combined just made 14% instead of 80%.

best regards

5.01 Stock + Xposed
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tylerdurden83:
It must be xposed, everyone else has perfect battery with this kernel
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] till22:
Just so I don't have to be testing this too much and because someone most likely knows this: Is there a difference in battery drain when using full screen of only bottom half of the screen for dt2w? The logical thing would be that using half screen lowers consumption, but I'm not quite sure.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] princem131:
Thanks I'll have to check that app out. I'm always so cautious with uv, one because it's hard to gauge it's contribution to battery savings and two, because every thread I've read over the years seems to have mixed feelings about uv actual benefits. Especially benefit risk ratio. I'm going to read up some more on uv so I can test more objectively. I get the basic premise, but not proficient enough yet to do much more than trial and error based on suggestions I've seen across the forum. Appreciate the feedback!

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] _insayn_:
I can only recommend the app, good community, free, good devs, and lot's of advanced/personalization options.

About UV: I have only undervolted to 750 (1 step) for already 1 month now. Haven't really tested it without but also didn't have any issues whatsoever with stability or bootloops or anything. I also was cautious and didn't wanna push it too hard.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] theesotericone:
I little clarification for you. Stock voltage at 300MHz is 800mV. Most apps use 12.5mV as a "step". However, [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] ElementalX app has refined that to -5mV. So technically if using his app you've UVd by ten steps. I'm sure he did a lot of research to assure that 750mV was stable on all cpu binnings for the Nexus 5. Which it is or people who use his kernel or app to UV would be getting reboots way more often.

Also UVing really doesn't have much of an effect on battery. The real reason people like me UV is to keep the CPU cooler. My device runs totally stable at 725mV and has since the day I got it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AndroidBR:
My battery stats seem to be working properly, but the "time since last charged" timer thingy is not counting how long my phone has been running on battery power.

Anyone experiencing this?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] AndroidBR:
Sorry for the amount of screenshots. Been running on battery since last night to test my new 2.0Ghz underclock and max cool governor.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] _insayn_:
Thanks for explaining me how it works and the effects. I really didn't quite know.

By "1 Step" i actually meant in the list of selectable voltages in AROMA-Installer one 'level' lower (which is 750mV).

As far as you have had such stability on 725mV, I might try it also, maybe combined with some lower CPU freq. I don't wanna lower all that too much, but I will experiment a bit.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Balino:
Here is mine, totally stable since a week or so no random reboots.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:

Guys after flashing the custom kernel. My animations break when going into multitasking. I haven't underclocked or undervolted. This did not happen on stock kernel. Any help would be appreciated
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
It seems like a good idea, but it would cause all kinds of problems. Things would be a lot easier for me if I could wipe the settings when I push updates. You have no idea how many people message me with problems, and a lot times the answer is settings->wipe app data.

If you really want to back up your settings (not recommended), just use titanium backup or similar app.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
This type of problem has nothing to do with the kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nathanjp:
Thanks for the quick reply :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] till22:
Yes it worked fine :) Forgot to mention that I solved it.

You're "not 100% sure, though" or "100% sure"? :P
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
im on code blue, can i flash ex kernel? i dont wanna the rom coz i did many thing and i dont wanna do it again :(
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] szucsgf:
If you flash the ROM + gapps without wiping anything you will not lose any apps, settings, or data and you will be properly set up for flashing ElementalX.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] OKLYMY:
Thanks for all the recent improvements/changes, currently rocking ElementalX 2.10 with ParanoidAndroid ROM on my Nexus 5, great combination and no issues for me so far. :good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
no, i did some modding in my /system like deleting some files :( oh well, i think i have no choice but to do it again :silly:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GooGooMuck:
Tried that using both root and system as owner of file and giving it 755 permissions. I may have it set up wrong. Can you point me in right direction on how to get this done? My attempts at searching out the answer result in topics that focus on the "su" portion of su.d and don't mention how to use that folder in place of init.d.

Thanks

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] _insayn_:
I suggest you dirty flash the stock kernel first and then eX. There will be no changes in your ROM after. As far as I know.

Hello

Just a big thanks [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] and this community.

Very good kernel + app !

My nexus 5 run with Boostpop 2.8 + ElementalX 2.10, default settings

From aroma installer with global undervolt -0.75. PSV is 3.

I tested stabitity with StabitityTest 2.7, but i think it will be a gold idea

adding a stabitity test on the app.

I just discovered BLX ported to N5. It's based on the kernel mod for Nexus S: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-s/development/mod-battery-life-extender-blx-t1257497

This can be found in the UBER-L kernel by Cl3Kener: http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/development/kernel-uber-linaro-4-10-0-sabermod-4-10-t2626179 I'm using this kernel now because I find this functionality to be that critical. But I'd love to have wake_gestures too, which this kernel does not implement.

Hopefully it's super easy to include this in ElementalX, and you can get it from Cl3Kener if you need to. Looking forward to having BLX functionality in ElementalX N5! I'm already using the N7 version (which is a different kernel patch implemented via limiting charge voltage).
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] y0y0y:
It does NOT work in N5. Chet has already mentioned that..

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] _insayn_:
I am by far no expert, so I can't say for sure, but it seemed strange for me too. Maybe somebody smarter can answer this.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] y0y0y:
flashing stock boot.img should do the trick. However to be extra extra sure, you should dirty flash your rom WITHOUT wiping data. Just wipe /dalvik, /cache and /system. Flash rom+gapps+superSU. Everything will remain in tact.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I'm not sure what it changes, but I recommend flashing system too.

When I was running 2.09 version there was 2 Cores running at 1267mhz ( when touching screen) and after some seconds it was switching second core off and set core0 to run at 300 mhz. Now with 2.10 core0 stays at 1267mhz. Is it supposed to work like this? And I noticed that screen off is set to 1190mhz in 2.09, now Is set to 1267..?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
You have mpdecision running and you're seeing touchboost raise the frequency to 1267. It increases to 1267 for three seconds every time you touch the screen. This is the default and recommended configuration.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] szucsgf:
To expand: the behavior you describe for 2.09 is default and recommended. The behavior you describe for 2.10 sounds like the result of a kernel app getting confused by MPD and accidentally sticking min CPU 1267 when applying settings after boot. This happens sometimes. Reset min CPU to 300 with your kernel app, or just disable set on boot then reboot.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
You should just never mess with frequencies (especially min freq) if using mpdecsion. It only causes trouble.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Balino:
I didn't change anything. That's why I'm asking for those changed between the 2 versions
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Soulfly3:
Absolutely NO disrespect to Franco, as his kernel and his work have always been amazing... Battery life, phenomenal.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gverma1:
Directly from 2.05 to 2.10 will work fine. Use Aroma instead of express version.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] OKLYMY:
Flashing straight to 2.10 will do especially since it's still ElementalX. :cool:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tenghc:
Yup.. the only way to save battery is by dimming the brightness of your display.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] OKLYMY:
If it can get above 3 hours of SOT then I believe it is a fair amount of SOT. Always use a phone with a mindset of "you'll have to charge your device once the battery is low" and you'll enjoy your device more rather than tinkering with a lot of settings disabling stuff here and there etc. ;)
