I also using a stock rom 5.1 with stock kernel settings :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fedor12:
I tried Franco's kernel (r72) and yeah I can confirm it's got the same issue, on both elementalx and Franco's kernel the freezing would pop up in the 1st 5-10 minute's of use but I tried stock again and It's going perfectly fine.

There was also some freezes (not as bad as chrome) on opera but that might just be normal so i will test it out with the stock kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vladimir_carlan:
Awfull lag here on Chrome when i use Elemental or Franco kernel. So?

---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:05 PM ----------

Dozen of people told they are experiencing lag in Chrome only when they are using two specific kernels (yours and Franco' and i can add Hellscore on the list) and absolutely no problem with stock or code_blue. But whatever. All those who posted about this issue ade just dumb. Keep chitchatting about ads. Btw...you do realize that most of those who are able to flash a kernel are able to install an ad-blocker too, right? I can bet that 99% of those who are complaining have the ads disabled.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Then perhaps you can provide logs? Because nobody had done that, only complaints.

I can't reproduce the problem. I wouldn't even know where to begin to fix it.

I find it very strange that the kernel works for months and months and then suddenly one app has a problem. It's also very difficult to fix a problem with an app in the kernel, as the two are normally not very closely related.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ben36:
I know, it's really weird. I've tried with ad blocker and without. Still the same. I've been on web pages without ads at all and have it happen. It's only ever been on 2.11 tho (android 5.1) And i personally have never had it in any other app but chrome

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vladimir_carlan:
You are correct. This kernel was working for months. Was my favourite kernel. Actually still is that's why I'm posting here. Otherwise I could just stick with the kernel I'm using nkw.

Anyway...the issues started to occur once I've flashed Android 5.1

ElementalX 2.10 had same issue on 5.1 and never had any issue with it on 5.0.1 or 5.0.2..so is not only 2.11
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Haidary.T:
Why do you continue to complain if you're not gonna provide any logs?

Edit: Did not mean to quote you directly. XDA One bug.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] WatsonDue:
Use elementalX app to enable fastcharge, or reflash the kernel enabling that option.

As far as I know, that only increasing charging speed when plugged to a USB source, like a PC. It doesn't change anything else.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vladimir_carlan:
Ok...here is the logcat. I think that most likely the issue is this:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] rbrenart:
What's the best way to make sure I can get back to stock? I'm having the chrome issue and it didn't exist previously... Don't really care if it's technically a kernel issue or not.

Do I just reflash stock ROM or is there a shorter way?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fedor12:
Didn't you make a backup of the stock kernel? If no then yeah you need the 5.1 factory image, you might be able to just pull the kernel from it but I've never done it so I'm not certain.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] MephistoCR:
Elementalx default thermal throttle overheats

It happened to me today that the CPU+battery overheat (80C and 50C) and it caused the power button to start physically failing. I've read that the power button in the Nexus 5 fails, and now I think it might be triggered by excessive temp.

Could it be that the thresholds are too aggressive? I reverted to stock thermal throttling to be on the safe side.

Today I was doing a line, hot day, under the sun, sporadically using the phone, so it was the worst case for temperature management. It would be nice to have an option for critical temperature and throttle at that.

P. S.

- The Chrome issue is real, and it started happening to me with this kernel.

- Max frequency is changed and can't be set. I don't know if this is normal as it is adjusted by the governor, but the max setting shouldn't be changed, right?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fkloznica:
^ Chrome is keeping your cpu frequency on max ,that's why you had overheating .. Install os monitor apk next time and you will see..

I had the same bug yesterday, i felt some heat in my pocket and when i took the phone out i literally burned my hand. Battery on 50c...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
The Chrome issue is extremely frustrating for me, because now when I search for ElementalX all that comes up are people talking about how it causes freezing in Chrome.

1) I cannot reproduce it. I've been going to random websites all night and have zero problems.

2) Even if I can reproduce it, what am I supposed to do to fix it? This kernel is basically stock + a few minor and well tested tweaks + extra features like s2w. I don't have a million commits and updates from CAF. And nothing that I can think of that would interact with Chrome.

I use the stock ROM and the default settings of this kernel and don't tweak anything else.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Ieatnoobs:
So, Ive looked into this Chrome issue for a few days now and these are my observations:

- I installed the factory image (all stock, oem locked and unlocked to delete everything)

Using stock kernel, there is very little Chrome stutter. Most can be traced back to ad loading.

I then installed EX kernel and left everything as default. Saw some Chrome stutter.

I re-flashed factory image and installed EX, but only with settings that were as close to stock kernel (such as no l2 and bus change) as possible. Little to no Chrome stutter.

I think some of the kernel settings be me having an adverse effect in Chrome. Or Chrome is just stupid sensitive.

Best kernel by far though.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Not sure what is going on. I would suggest opening the app and going to Settings->Wipe app data and start fresh.

I just tested, set CPU max to 1958 and set on boot, set thermal to stock, set readahead to 512 and set on boot and set selinux permissive and set on boot.

Reboot

CPU is at 1958, thermal is at stock, readahead is at 512, selinux is permissive. All set on boot indicators remain on.

The way it works is you change a setting to some value, and then when you click the set on boot icon it saves the setting at that moment. If you click on the setting again, it automatically clears the set on boot indicator. If the set on boot indicator has an equivalent in /etc/elementalx.conf, when you press it, it changes the setting there too.

The app *always* takes precedence over /etc/elementalx.conf because it runs later in the boot process. BUT, if you apply a setting and it's changed in /etc/elementalx.conf, but the apply on boot setting is not enabled in the app, the setting in /etc/elementalx.conf will apply.

Thermal does not have a set on boot indicator because it replaces the thermal conf file. When you change it, the file is changed until you specifically change it again.

Anybody else having a sensor_ind wakelock?

Cataclysm 5.1, EX 2.11
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
No, and that wakelock is from a userspace lib, not the kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chr0:
Thanks. Any help on how to isolate what might be causing it? I don't know what other forum to post this on. So, apologies for the offtopic.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION], I'm having a great experience with your kernel. Android 5.1 + ElementalX 2.11 gives the best battery life my Nexus 5 had ever had. Thank you!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chr0:
I went through all Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 threads on Reddit and elsewhere. Adaptive Brightness is always turned on on my N5, and some people are suggesting Hangouts as a culprit. Guess, I'll have to look elsewhere.

Thanks anyway, for taking the time.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fedor12:
I used the aroma installer before and kept everything on default but only added backlight dimmer, this time round i just flashed the express version but again 5 minutes after using it chrome froze.

It's hard to reproduce because it can happen quite randomly, if it helps I've witnessed the stuttering on xda web version, Google+ web version, Wikipedia, Amazon and even just scrolling down/up on a google search page. Stock runs perfectly (odd stutter here and there when thing's are loading) but with elementalx and franco (haven't tried any other kernels yet) it freezes on a fully loaded page with no ads for up to 10 seconds sometimes.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
It was a huge bug on the Nexus 6, but was fixed with Android 5.1. If it's a problem here, I think it's best to be fixed on the ROM side. If it can't, I can disable it in kernel, but I'd prefer not to add hacks like that if it can be fixed properly at the source.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chr0:
Roger that, sir. I'll take it to the Cataclysm thread. Although some people on that thread pull out machetes on the mere mention of the word wakelock.

Thanks again, for the guidance.

Just to update I'm having the same issue with Opera browser so it seems it's not just isolated to chrome but other browsers that use the blink engine?

I've downloaded CM browser and so far haven't run in to the issue yet. I might just start using it as my default browser if it's not affected by the freezing, i just wish it had force zoom.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] SeemannBootlegs:
Yes buddy!!! ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fkloznica:
I had it whit ex and cata. After changing to stock cata kernel chrome is flying again.. Just my 2 cents
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vladimir_carlan:
Usually the stutter occir occur when you scroll fast. Even on XDA. But as someone. Said must be a problem with some settings of kernel + Android 5.1 Why I say thag? I was using veesion 2.10 with no issues on 5.0.1 or 5.0.2 When I flashed 5.1 for the first time firsr tihing to do was to flash your kernel (again, is my favourite) and had that stutter on Chrome. I said its ok, 2.10 was ment for 5.0.1/5.0.2 so is normal to have issues. So I went back on stock. On stock stutters occur too. But not so often and when occur is for 1-2seconds instead 10seconds as it is on ElementalX. Franco is even worse. Meanwhile I tried Code_Blue once was updated for 5.1. In over one week of usage never had any stutter. Last night I flashed again 2.11 just in order to get some logs. In 5 minutes of usage my phone was freezinf 3 times.

You are saying that you tried for whole day to reproduce the issue and no success. That leads to the conclusion that maybe a setting or a combination of settings is the culprit. Mahbe a temporary fix could be to get rid of aroma installer for now and release onky a version with your working settings?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dechronic:
I am using Google Chrome with on Stock Android 5.1,, EX 2.11, f2fs on /data & /cache and I am getting MICRO stutters in Google Chrome, which I would expect for my setup as I have my phone underclocked to lowest setting and I have my phone undervolted as well.

There was a Google Chrome update just on Wednesday.

For those having the problem, I would recommend to provide the following information for troubleshooting/replication purposes to get to the root of the problem.

ROM: (including version)

Kernel: (version only)

Logcat: (attached)

Dmesg: (attached)

To get the logs follow the steps below.

Normal Logcat:
adb logcat -v time -d > logcat.log

Kernel Log:
adb shell su -c dmesg > dmesg.log

Normal Logcat:

I have had Chrome lock up during scrolling on multiple occasions. Had it while running fully stock, Stock with ex kernel, and on Cata with ex kernel. It is definitely not an EX issue.

Faux sound support, is that the mod Franco uses in his kernel to allow you to boost the volume? I use viper4android and would like to couple it with this kernel but I need to boost the volume. Any suggestions?

Another member has stated the same issue is present in the beta version as well. Did you have the freezing in stable chrome? I'm happy with CM browser for now and haven't noticed any freezes as of yet but i just installed chrome beta to check for any freezes.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fedor12:
Chrome beta froze on me after only 5 minutes of use, to rule out a fluke i carried on using it and it froze again a short while after, basically exactly the same as stable chrome.

It's the cheetah mobile/clean master browser on play store, been running smooth so far so it doesn't seem to be affected. I think it's isolated to browsers that use the blink engine which explains why opera froze as well.

not only is it impolite and rude to post like that in this thread but it's also non-sense. i know both kernels and by no means does code blue with comparable setup and usage have 1 hour more SOT. further chrome has just updated a few hours ago ( after 1-2 days since the last update ) with main reason of heavy bug-fixing. it's was meanwhile clear that it's a chrome bug and not a kernel or rom bug.

so recommend to restrain yourself from such posts which are not contributing anything useful and help to spoil the reputation of one of the most stable and seriously maintained kernels on xda together with [MENTION=947981]Lord Boeffla[/MENTION] his kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GBP85:
So I use Chrome Stable and have never had problems. For the people reporting problems are you all using Chrome Beta? If so, them there's your answer BETA. I switched to this kernel from Faux and I love this kernel. It's been the best I've ever used. This kernel has no problems. All of the people reporting problems should really delete your posts.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dechronic:
The more I see people post that they are having problems with Chrome the more it seems more like a smear campaign than anything else as I have not seen one person post a dmesg log. No one has had a kernel issue for which flar2 did not fix quickly. This issue was never a kernel issue and I know some people may have jumped on the bandwagon and legitimately mentioned they had the problem too not knowing it was a Chrome issue. There has been an update for Chrome that was released since the 18th of March. If your version is not 41.0.2272.96 (at the time of writing), update your Chrome browser via the play store so that we can move forward with tweaking, development or just providing help with new users of the kernel.

I experienced chrome lag but it was just mildly irritating for me as I found scrolling slowly helps avoid the issue. Since it only occurred in chrome I assumed it was an application issue. By the way, I always use stock for a few days before changing my kernel and this issue was present in stock 5.1 too. Funny logging in to xda today and seeing all the complaints here.

Well, it's fixed with the latest chrome update so there shouldn't be any more complaints on this.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] rbrenart:
There are two chrome stutter bugs people are seeing. Not differentiating is only confusing the issue.

The first is a micro stutter, no real time, but something just feels wrong. This is indeed present on stock. If anything, this is actually better on this kernel for me than on stock.

The second is a more solid stutter where the UI becomes unresponsive for a good two or three seconds. Personally, I haven't seen this on stock but can reproduce at will on the two kernels mentioned. I'm sure it's am application bug, but something in the kernels is exasperating the issue.

If you want to see it find a somewhat lengthy page, like a nytimes magazine article and actually read it. Scrolling through the whole thing at once won't do it, but scroll read scroll read repeat and it will almost certainly happen.

All of the above applies to my phone, apologies that my word choice sounds more definitive than that (I'm feeling too lazy to edit) and I hope the information helps somebody.
