What do you mean?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GorfDroid:
You can use trickster mod, synapse or kernel auditor to change the input boost frequency or input timeout so it stays at a higher frequency longer reducing lag.

min_brightness

first of all, thanks for your great kernle, flar2!

I do like very low brightness levels, therefore I use the backlight dimmer.

But I'd like to set the minimal brightness to 1 instead of the default 5 automatically.

I can do so using your config app, but the changes won't stick after a reboot.

I've tried to

echo "1" > sys/module/lm3630_bl/parameters/min_brightness

the value gets updated, but the minimal brightness doesn't change

what am I missing?

thanks
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] matesc:
You need to update in the same directory /backlight_dimmer to Y.

Maybe you need to get su permissions by typing su and password as well, before you change the above values. If you haven't forgotten to that before.

Be sure to turn off and on the screen afterwards.

Did you click the little icon on the right to apply the setting on boot?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] zooole:
Just some questions.

Bit new to this, this is my first custom kernel. I installed it because of the insane throttling and because I tried out Vainglory beta.

Underclocked it with 50mV, (CPU bin is 1) and it sticks to 2.3 GHz, which is nice, but also scary. CPU temp can go above 80 Celsius and averages at 78 when playing a game. Does it throttle at all?

Also, the big problem is the GPU throttling. It's the same I guess, effectively 200Mhz after a few minutes. Is there any way to change that?

If this is safe, I might not bother at all because the difference is huge. But a GPU boost would affect the framerate a lot more than +0.2 Ghz for example.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
You can try changing some values in /etc/thermal-engine.conf

Small changes are probably safe
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Woody:
So I have been testing and testing and testing for various apks, ROMs and kernels over the last few weeks. Some on this device and some on my others. For a baseline, I needed a reliable kernel app that I knew was solid, had all my preferences included and I could configure on the fly. For that reason and that one only, I had to use the previous ElX app as a baseline control. Because of that and all the debugging that goes along with it, I haven't had a chance to settle back in with ElX as my daily kernel, until now. I've flashed it here and there depending on what I was testing (recall the Viper mess I was in last week-which was actually a test I was running). Now I am back for a duration and was able to purchase the new app this morning.

I am more than pleased with the implementation of all the pre-existing features you had on the other apk, but also with the new add-ons that really makes this one set itself apart from the last version. I dig the design (which iirc was already in the mix prior) and especially the Tools section. The ability to pull a last_ksmg log straight from the app *should* help debugging since many don't even know where that file is actually located. Well worth the upgrade and I am sorry that it took so long.

Not to detract from the above, but I do have a feature request. When I was using Franco this time last year, he had a Per-App Profile kernel setting implemented where you could run dual-cores/4, set the freqs, GPU, boost, ... This worked really well for things like gaming, Tapatalk, Music playback (I had profiles for Podcasts, GMusic and MLB At-Bat). Is this something that you might think about for the future of the apk? Some things would work great on the N5/6, but I found that PAPs were very useful on my N7(13) since I play games, read and browse primarily on that. Just a thought and thanks for the consideration. Or you could tell me to go pound sand.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] zooole:
What am I looking for there? I don't know too much about it. :(

What I see is that CPU shutdown is connected to a value (115000). I can't really figure out the other stuff.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] 2k4ever:
lol, i completely missed those buttons xD

I'm used to set my kernel up once without any app just by modifying init.d and sys, but that wouldn't stick

thanks also to matesc and cptscruffy for your suggestions!

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] epithetic:
I searched the thread and didn't see anything conclusive in the way of people pointing this out, so I'll add my data point to the mix:

As one of the people affected by the Chrome freeze/hang issue, I can confirm between the 4.0 rebase and the Chrome updates this no longer occurs on my device. I couldn't say which of the two was the deciding factor (given that the previous line of Chrome releases had significant issues in html5 canvas rendering as well, so who knows) but whatever it was, I'm happy to say it is fixed on my end.

Props to flar in either case :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] RusherDude:
Ye, but which one inside there? I don't know what you mean with boosting that :(. Flashed v2.14 and I don't have this problem at all, and everything (from recovery, to multirom boot menu, to the own system) is way more smoother and cooler better on v1.14 o_O.

Imma test more and tell you, but this is rare.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] zooole:
I am more than happy to support it regardless, but this is not helping much.

My best guess for a solution is the minimum freq for the GPU.

I'm trying to install ElementalX for the first time and I'd appreciate some help.

I've got a rooted Nexus 5 running 5.1.1 with stock kernel, unlocked bootloader and twrp recovery.

Every time I flash either ElementalX 4 with Aroma or Express, the phone wakes up - gets to the Google Logo and then reboots.

I can then get into recovery to flash stock kernel and the phone boots up again.

Am I missing something? Can anyone suggest a fix so that my phone can boot with ElementalX. Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] psylos:
Clear dalvik cache after instalation of the kernel. You need the aroma installer if installing first time ElementalX kernel. Express is for updating only.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dj_aj:
Thanks for the quick reply. I tried clearing cache and it still freezes at the Google logo.

I want to start fresh however don't want to lose all my data. Got any other ideas?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] psylos:
If you have kept a back up of your previous rom/kernel load it again. Check that your phone boots normally. Then try re-downloading ElementalX and flash it. After flashing clear cache and dalvik cache and then reboot. Your phone should boot normally.

At least these steps I followed when I flashed ElementalX once.

One last thing. Check that you don't have 2.8.6.0 version of twrp. It's buggy.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dj_aj:
It worked. I believe it was because I was using TWRP 2.8.6.0. Updated to 2.8.6.1, re-downloaded the kernel just to be safe and flashed away. The phone booted up perfectly.

Appreciate the quick help, thanks.

GPU throttle

So, I bought the app. It's great. I can set the min GPU freq.

It does work as a way to override the throttle, but I don't think it's a practical solution. The graphics performance skyrocketed with +1-2 celsius on average, under heavy load. The GPU throttle really holds everything pack :(

I would like some feedback though, I don't know if it's safe at all right now.

ElementalX CPU govenor, -50 uv, GPU min freq 450 (but 200 does not make much of a difference in temperature)

Vainglory matches: Average CPU temp is 71 celsius, battery is 45(!). The battery is what worries me. Is that okay?

But the amazing thing, it can do 60FPS, like an iPhone 6 with Metal. That's crazy IMO, considering with stock it can't even push a stable 30 at all.

Are you planning any GPU tweaks considering the throttle? I am clearly not a pro, but I think it's an obvious bottleneck and changing the min. freq. really hurts the battery life on normal usage.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
ok, i'm careful but i believe that both is not true:

express works without aroma and dalvik/art cache as well as cache has nothing to do with kernel, no effect at all. FYI as well [MENTION=390903]dj_aj[/MENTION]
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jbowwow02:
Um 71 and 45 are really high. My average battery temp is around 35°C and CPU is around 50°C.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] MrKaon:
You don't game that is why, 3D gaming pushes CPU temperature to 70°C easy.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] zooole:
This is gaming, normal usage is the same as yours. Almost exactly. Maybe 53 when chroming

But still, is this kind of gaming could hurt the phone?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] dj_aj:
Duly noted, thanks!

I realized that express is essentially to flash the kernel without aroma & thus without modifying any settings but wasn't aware if cache had any effect on the install.

At the end it came down to a buggy twrp I suppose.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
correctly observed, 2.8.6.0 is buggy and depending on availability should be updated to 2.8.6.1 or downgraded to 2.8.5.x but as i see you found out yourself so what remains is to wish you a lot of joy with this great piece of software :)

Oh. When you said average I thought you meant browsing the web and stuff. I'm not sure what games you run but it should be fine. When I play Asphalt 8 or Riptide 2 it takes around 30 minutes to reach those temperatures and it's usually fine.

Plz help me I have a problem with this karnel when to slow charging i also on fast charge
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] infatality:
Highly doubt is the kernel.. I had no issue with charging.. Either is your charger or cable.. If you are using usb port to charge it's limited too 500mah unless it's a usb 3.0 port.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] hunting_:
I have my original charger nexus 5 when i charge my cell charging going back to 22 21 20 :(
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
original is not a synonym for working great, working at all and/or not broken. thus no valid point there really. i made excessive tests with chargers and cables with a looped ampere/volt meter and beside the fact that stock is not always best ( rarely basically ) the culprit of bad charging was in 90%+ of all cases the cable, including cables that were good before, after all you move and bend them permanently, don't we :)

fast charge has nothing to do with wall charging, only applies to computer usb port charging if the port provides more than 450/500 mAh thus

the post after yours was absolutely spot on. do the homework and only if nothing worked come back to complain and even then it will not be the kernel, thus wrong thread anyways.

Hey, this is my first time trying elemental X. I'm on CM 12.1 06/06 nightly and use banks gapps. The problem I'm facing is to run miracast. Whenever I'm on stock kernel of cm, miracast works fine but as I install elemental, it stops working.

To be sure I reinstalled the rom without the elemental kernel and the miracast worked, then I flashed the elementalx and miracast stopped working.

Any suggestion for the same would be great guys.

I've been a user of ElementalX for a while. Not too long, but just over 2 months. Releases prior to 4.00 were great. Great battery life and aside from the odd scrolling app freezing the performance was also great. But I'm having a problem with 4.00. My battery life is barely on par with stock kernel and my phone is sluggish. It takes several seconds, like 5 to 8, to go to the homescreen from apps, it takes 4 to 6 seconds for chrome to open, the keyboard takes several seconds to show up etc. Things are just running slow and aside from temporarily changing the I/O scheduler to ROW and back to Deadline, setting DT2W and Sweep2Sleep off and using custom hot plugging, I'm running the kernel with all other options set to stock. Is anyone else experiencing this kind of behavior?

My Nexus 5 is also running much warmer than usual. Not melting hot but warm enough to be uncomfortable to hold
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] NovaSlim:
No, 4.00 is running very well on my N5 and have not noticed any battery life drop/warm phone.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] californicated:
Did you check the memory usage?

Please try the kernel's stock stettings, especially without the custom hotplugging.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] a0b1c2:
Hi,

The fact your device is sluggish/warm strongly suggests a process is running nearly non-stop.

The first thing to do is to try to get EX out of the equation (I doubt it's the cause of your issue(s) :).

First, get a baseline. Restart your device. Log your observations (into a file, spreadsheet, whatever works best for you): how long before your device gets slow? Immediately, a few hours, etc. Try not to vary your usage.

I'd do the above at least two more times.

Once you get a general idea on how long it takes for the problem to crop up, uninstall EX and repeat.

One of two things will happen ... :)

The problem will re-occur thus ruling out EX, or

The problem will stop completely. Possibly pointing to EX.

The other way to tackle it is to take a nandroid backup and incrementally add your applications back. This can take a while too.

Cheers,

-pablo

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ToYeD:
Thanks for the tips. Its been like this since I updated EX to 4.00 after the rebase. I've rebooted several times a day and it always starts sluggish. There is no ramp down in performance.

Just to give you more information I am not running a custom ROM. I find with nexus devices its best to run stock factory image, root it and install a great custom kernel and leave it. So the extent of my modifications is root and kernel. None of the apps I have installed run heavy in the background. Some data gets pushed for social media apps and stuff but nothing that needs to run my CPU at max frequency all day. Like I said this didn't start happening until after I updated to 4.00. I haven't installed any new apps since updating from 3.14. I'll definitely try your suggestion about uninstalling EX to see but is there an easier way to do it than reflashing the stock image? Can I flash a stock kernel zip in TWRP?

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
then don't underclock or even better stick to default settings and see what happens and go from there. really it's known to be senseless to report any issues while underclocked and the you are allowed but definitely shouldn't underclock at all. why? search and read xda for issues and unproven benefit of underclocking. more trouble than anything when excessive and minor to zero when minor.

'Biased opinionated users' are you kidding me? The irony and hypocrisy of that statement is so blatantly obvious the only reason you wouldn't notice it yourself is because you try and write lengthy, patronising paragraphs in such broken English.

Why do you feel the need to patronise and demean people at every turn?

Back to the discussion, the chrome issue is definitely something from Googles side whether it is the kernel, chrome, webview, or not. It all originates from Google so somewhere down the line they'll sort it. Personally it's been sorted for me for a long while now and I think out of respect for flar2 the endless conversations about it should stop.
