[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kamild_:
I know there were no plans for more CAF releases, it just confused me when I saw it in the app :) Thx for the info though.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
The app doesn't know if the rom is caf or not.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tarcis:
Are bug reports not welcome here or did I do something horrible and forgot about it?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I hit the thanks button and I'm looking into it, it just takes time.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tarcis:
Didn´t mean to rush, sorry. Since no one commented on it, I just wanted to make sure this was the right place before posting a few more bugs I discovered.

6- Energy saving disables double tap to wake but doesn´t enable it back

It happened when my battery reach 5%, both android and ex kernel manager turn on power saving, so I plugged the charger and disabled them, but double tap to wake did not return. I then re-enabled dt2w and toggled ex kernel power saving just to check, but this time dt2w stayed on. So Im not sure if it was the combination of the 2 that disabled it in the first time.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Kustaa:
The default setting for this kernel regarding Sweep2sleep is 2: from right to left. This can be seen in the aroma installer or in the /etc/elementalx.conf file, although it doesn't work, even editting the config file to another value and rebooting. The only way I can activate it is by installing a kernel manager app like Kernel Adiutor. Is this supposed to be like this? I'd like to avoid installing the app, that's why this kernel includes the .config file in the first place isn't it?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tuncan:
My Nexus 5 with ElementalX (now 6.16) don't want to use "fast charge". It worked some months ago, but now it doesn't.

Any idea, what can I do? I checked if there is anything similar in "elementalx.conf", but I didn't find anything. But probably it should be there something?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] grep_i:
Can you describe in what way it doesn't work ?

Is it not charging at all or isn't it charging fast?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tuncan:
Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. It is charging, but always "Charging slowly" :crying:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] maortrol:
Not sure, but I think that is a "standard message", regardless the electric current, when you are charging by USB.

Did you use any app like Ampere to check the electric current while charging by USB? Try it with "Fast charging" option enabled and disabled, and compare the results.

;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tuncan:
Interesting - when I have Fast Charge enabled in EXKernel app, then Ampere shows 160-260 mA. If I disable Fast charge in EXKernel app, then it shows 350 mA. :confused:

It looks like it is reversed.

But the string "Charging slowly" is still there. I remember that it was different before (some months ago). But ok, I can live with "standard message", if charging is faster. :good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] looney_tkp™:
me too...when charging on AC it still shows charging slowly on lockscreen and charging on usb in the battery section..

i have to disconnect & connect a few times before it charges on AC

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] grep_i:
Strange...

When I charge with fast charge on I get 500 mA.

Without fast charge 260 mA.

It shows slow charge on lockscreen.

When on AC it never shows slow charge.

Also no problem with showing in battery section wrong charge source on AC it shows AC. On USB it shows USB all instantly without reconnecting multiple times.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] WNSTNSNRS:
Pros and cons of Fast Charge?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] martialaw:
I read somewhere that it charges with 1500mA on stock.

Can it do that with this kernel? Cuz, I only get 800mA tops on CM13...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Of course you can.

1. Charge rate can be throttled by the thermal driver

2. You aren't going to see 1500 if you're watching mA on the phone, because the phone is using some of that electricity to run.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] martialaw:
Thanks for the reply.

I watch the current with an offscreen monitoring widget and a amperemeter USB adaptor.

Gonna try another set of wallwart and higher quality cable. The original USB cable seems really thin and weak.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] acultr:
I have blue sleep wakelock.

it's a kernel or rom problem?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] martialaw:
Indeed the original cable that came with the phone only lets 500mA through. What a dumb thing to do from LG.

Now I'm getting 1A over a high grade nylon cable from Amazon.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] leonman44:
Hello guys , what rom do you use with this kernel? :) i am having a problem flashing this kernel after CandiSix device wont boot. I read this : Do NOT flash this over other custom kernels!

You should only flash ElementalX over the kernel that came with your ROM!!! But didnt fully understand it...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
CandySiX-hammerhead is coming with custom kernel (yank555), that's why you have issue.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] leonman44:
You got right , so will it work on a stock rom with stock kernel or is there some kind of roms without kernel? :confused:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] grep_i:
Did you bought that phone with CandiSix rom if not you have custom ROM and in your case with a custom kernel included.

This is Nexus 5 thread are you aware of that ?

You know that Nexus devices come with stock Android ?

I'm still on stock Android I don't fancy a custom ROM.

On stock rom it is easy to return to stock kernel just flash boot.img

For your custom rom you have to look for the instructions as it is quite possible they differ from procedure when on stock rom.

Maybe you can find a thread about your rom or a community and ask your question there
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] leonman44:
Nope , i owned this Nexus for years now , i had a Sony Z3 previously and had easily flashed another kernel on stock rom but it had an accident so i am using again my Nexus 5... Yeap thats why i asked here , because you guys know more than i do! So it's better to reflash stock rom and use this kernel? The reason i want to change kernel is to Oc my device , i need more power and less throttling , this kernel seems really promising!!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] grep_i:
Yes I would advise you to flash stock rom and than this kernel it's awesome
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] leonman44:
Awsome , i tried it , managed to get a nice 2.9ghz oc , 3ghz at this voltage crashed for me but anyway its a really high oc!! Kernel seems stable enough without problems , the only 2 things that i found missing is the thermal throttle management by software (set max temp at faux123 and other programms) and a Gpu Oc should be added as this gpu's can get a 533mhz easily and might a 650!! :p
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] a g bell:
Oc of gpu from 450 is pointless as faux proved?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] onesolo:
@flar2 is there a place where we can see the changelog of Ex Kernel Manager for all versions?!

also, do you think that we can use this kernel manager app with other kernels other than Ex Kernel ?!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Isley_:
It is in the 3rd post.

And yes you can, I've tried ElementalX app with other Kernels.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] onesolo:
About the changelog, I was talking about the manager!!! Not the kernel itself
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I don't have it anywhere myself. It would be really long.

And yes, you can use it for other kernels. I've added settings for all the popular kernels and also for many other devices.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ps89:
The security update for June is out. Any changes on the kernel? :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] grep_i:
I flashed the new update for June and had no problems at all
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Update!!!

June security update.

Download

ElementalX-N5-6.17

Changes:

-June security update
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] WNSTNSNRS:
A little bit confused about securith updates. Can I flash v6.17 on 6.0.1 MOB30D build?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Don't. It is for June 2016 Security Update Build
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nathanchance:
You should be okay to flash 6.17 on a previous security patch, most of the patches are backwards compatible
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] a g bell:
So no updates to kernel other than security??
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mattbta:
Haven't been able to reach elementalx.org all day. Will try tomorrow. Thanks for your work!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sshriss:
Hi, are the ElementalX security updates are the android security patch updates embedded in the kernel? Does it mean that If I update the ElementalX kernel to 6.17 I don't need to flash the latest security patch (MOB30M)?

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nathanchance:
No, you still need to flash the latest security patch to get all of the security updates as not all updates happen in the kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] PhilipTD:
Congratulations to [MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION] on becoming a moderator. Your participation in this community is greatly appreciated.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] marcocsh:
flashed latest 6.17 but run into boot loop. system completely boot up but no response from the touch screen, and then reboot automatically.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] MABBS:
Flashed the latest xTraFactory 30M everything works great in combination with E.X ,except for the camera HDR+ , when i try to use , the phone restart by itself ,i used this combination of rom-kernel before,everything was fine without any bugs , does anyone else have this problem too?

EDIT It seems that i have this problem @ 2.726 Mhz only , i tried to lower the frequency now it's working .. strange because , as i said before , i used this combination of kernel-rom before and i did not had any major bugs or issues with them working together ..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] alexandreminem:
Hi there, I think I made a big mistake.

I have Android 4.4.2 stock with Elemental X kernel (with root and fastboot unlocked).

I made an update to Elemental X kernel for Android 6.0, thinking that it was a Rom not a kernel.

Now, Android is working but storage is missing (Dropbox/Camera is not working, Settings>Storage makes a force close, SDCard is not found when going with ES Explorer...)

Also, I don't have any network and my phone is not detected when connecting to my laptop (so I can't use adb).

It is not detected when going on recovery and fastboot.

I'm bad right now. I don't know what to do to restore it.

Do you guys have ideas? Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gverma1:
Flashing a marshmallow kernel on KitKat should not mess up your phone this bad. Can you get into recovery and do you have any KitKat kernel zip in your phone? If yes, try flashing that kernel. I would have said to flash KitKat boot.img and system.img using fastboot, but you said even fastboot is not working! I guess you need to try different approaches and see what works. Hope you have a backup on your laptop.

In addition - can you install Flashify from play store? You could flash an already downloaded KitKat kernel zip using this app while your phone is on (without going into recovery).
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] alexandreminem:
Hi there! Thanks for your help :fingers-crossed:

Yes I can get to recovery BUT I don't have any kitkat kernel on my phone.

I have to put it on it, BUT it seems I can't access to sd card and fastboot is not working. :crying:

When on, my phone is charging but not recognized by computer at all.

When on recovery, same thing!

And I can't access to Settings>Storage so I switch to MTP.

I may have miss something, but I don't know what.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gverma1:
Connect your phone to laptop while in recovery - can you see your phone on the laptop? If yes, you can transfer files to and fro.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] alexandreminem:
That is a problem, phone is not recognized even in recovery.

(USB drivers are installed)

I displayed Windows Device Manager and it doesn't find anything too :/

Dammmn I broke my phone.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gverma1:
Don't fret. It's very hard to break a Nexus. I'm sure there will be better suggestions coming your way from more learned friends. While your phone is on, can you access wifi? Can you try upgrading your Android via ota (stock ROM)? Maybe that will sort things out. Do let me know.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] alexandreminem:
Thanks for your encouragments!

Yes I have WiFi.

When I want to update Android, it doesn't download as "SDcard" doesn't work :/

Also I tried to connect my phone throw fastboot.

Adb devices provides nothing..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gverma1:
That should be 'fastboot devices'
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] alexandreminem:
Doesn't do nothing :/

I'm surprised that the phone is not recognized in recovery and fastboot!

Even if settings are Charge only, this should not affect these 2, right?

I tried so many things : wipe data/cache/Dalvik, format sdcard, mount/unmount all.

---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 PM ----------

Weird, from recovery I can format SD Card and make backup in it.

So in recovery, it seems that sdcard exists! But why can't I connect my computer to my phone!? Weird!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gverma1:
Try downloading a custom ROM zip to your phone using wifi (if possible). Then try to flash it in recovery.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] alexandreminem:
That's what I wanted but phone doesn't allow me to download anything even in Google Play store, because SD Card doesn't exist.

BUUUUUT I found a huge problem : Usb cable is damaged, i changed it and phone is recognized in recovery.

I'll get to you soon if I can solve my problem! THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gverma1:
Good to hear. I was sure the phone couldn't have died like this. Do post the good news once you have it running again.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] till22:
Great, you can probably also use adb now and push the ROM to the phone resulting in not even losing your data. That's not a promise though. Good luck!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Now flash the latest M factory image.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] alexandreminem:
Hi all, and especially [MENTION=4482228]gverma1[/MENTION].

So yesterday, USB Cable was damaged I replaced it, then computer recognized the phone, but no way to access to the storage.

I installed all drivers (normal/debugging/recovery/fastboot) with the Nexus root toolkit.

Then I pushed Catalysm Rom (Android 6.0) throw recovery (that was really hard, I had to try many times and switch USB ports), then flashed the rom.

All works now.

Thanks again for your help [MENTION=4482228]gverma1[/MENTION]
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gverma1:
Good to know your phone is fine. This forum has lots of friendly folks and somebody was bound to jump in to help. Am glad it was me this time though I guess I couldn't be of much help. [emoji4]
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] alexandreminem:
Well you were right [MENTION=4482228]gverma1[/MENTION], this phone is hard to brick. And it is.

You gave me hope, and I repaired it :)

Thanks all, keep going XDA!

Random reboots

Hey guys. Updated kernel and.ROM, and now.I'm getting.random reboots. Can some.one.help me.figure out why? I've got my last_ksmg attached here. Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] grep_i:
In three years I did not manage to brick this phone whatever I did to it I know from experience Samsung Galaxy S2 is very easy brickable, but Nexus devices are almost impossible to brick.

For me they are the best devices ever very clean and basic user interface and very good to mod.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Stitchusa:
Hello everybody.

I just install Cyano13 on my Nexus 5. D'you think I can flash elementalX on it? I can't find if it's using already a custom Kernel :/ Thx !
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] vleesevlons:
Does installing an OTA update from Google overwrite the kernel with the stockkernel?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TonyUkukk:
Guys, Im still on 4.4.4 (do not punch, i donna like lollilop and marshm) and wanna to flash again EXKernel (i lost my lovely N5 about year ago and found it at last...seriosly) but i lost the file EXKernel image for Kitkat and now i see in the site no any archives - any suggestions? Or I can flash last stable version (that is saying in description that for Marshm 6.0.1., so it can break my Kitkated N5, no?) Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] pandza88:
You cant use marshmallow kernel on kitkat.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] TonyUkukk:
Yes sure, as it showed in description (Android 6.0.1.). But, there was a period when i can go to EXKernel site and find versions for Kitkat,but now can not find... To day from the google+ page of ElementalX guys shared with me the link where archived all versions,just dont remember which versions for which Android version :p I think, probably, for Kitkat the last version must be ElementalX-N5-2.01, is it right?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] maortrol:
Here you are the download links:

- EX Kernel - Marshmallow: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=33616

- EX Kernel - Previous versions (v0 & v1): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=9360

I don't know wich version of EX Kernel is needed in KitKat, sorry. Maybe [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] could tell you.

I hope it helps. Bye! ;)

Is it just me or is the non-mpdecision governor less stable than the mpdecision one?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
I can feel OC a Lil with steps under " 2500" anything over seems to do the opposite ,I over clock there on 2 cores and its hurt the battery very very Lil so I go with it , I don't do benchmarks so I have no actual proof besides the phone feels Lil snappier , but ya its not much but it is sum ... I no if head over to the benchmark threads there numbers do show and increase when OC ,but nothing like the Gnex or N4 did when u OC them .
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tlf55:
When flashing the kernel it set me ondemand gov for cpu, but i didn't checked it on aroma installer, i checked elementalx gov with gboost feature .. I changed the gov in trickster manualy ..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I think with CPU frequencies, we are at the point of diminishing returns. It's fast enough. When you overclock, it uses higher voltages and generates more heat, which leads to earlier thermal throttling and therefore lower performance if you are at higher frequencies for an extended time (eg, playing a game). It's hard to dissipate the heat in these tiny phone enclosures.

The future is cooler lower power chips, faster ram and bus, better multithreading in software and the big one for performance, faster ssd.

If you reboot, does it always go to ondemand?

Do you have a cpu control app setting the ondemand governor at boot?

Is the /etc/init.d/99elementalx script running at boot? You can check the log file at /data/local/tmp/elementalx.log.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Good to hear, and thanks for sticking with it. I seem to have lost a few users during the .18 to .20 releases. There are lots of kernels to choose from on this device so I never had that many downloads to begin with compared to my other kernels. But I like developing for this one.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tlf55:
Yeah, i have trickster mod, but i disable set on boot settings, the ondemand governor is in every boot and in the log it's says ElementalX CPU gov , Ondemand GPU gov.

I have the script in init.d, well it's not a problem as i can put it to elementalx governor after with Trickster :)

Another feedback, .22 seems less fluid than .21, maybe a placebo effect because of .21 was very fluid for me ! :o

Still thinking that GPU should be less agressive but i'll stick with your choice because your kernel is Amazing ! :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
Nothing to really worry about most of them will come back at some point to see if the issues they had were fixed at one point or the other, and new users will definitely enjoy the current kernels
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DoesntPostAThing:
Yea, lots of users float between kernels. Few will "stick" to another kernel, but most will always float back to see how things are. It was the way with Faux, there were a few bugs, so I tried different kernels, ended up settling on ElementalX.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] :
I was originally a Franco user but since r23 the performance has gone really down, moved to Bricked and loved it but was being throttled on Beach Buggy Blitz, Trinity has four cores on at all times and is smooth but generates too much heat and always caused my phone to reboot after some time, Faux was excellent but the idling at 320MHz for GPU seemed strange (bug?) to me, n3oHammer is good but gets blazing hot, eventually settled here with Elemental with ondemand governor for CPU/GPU best experience I've had on my phone
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
Not sure if schedulers are dependent on devices, but row is the first scheduler that has shown 0 stuttering and absolute fluid response in any app - even Tapatalk, browsers, icon packs, anything I try.

But a number of users seem to be seeing similar performance in deadline as well..

Read ahead set to 256 as well
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GSLEON3:
This. They are just impatient. The only issues I have ever experienced have been rectified within a day or two. Nothing is as smooth & effortless, working better than most, right out of the box with default settings. I use DT2W, with power & magnet off, a bit of underclocking & most everything else is perfecto using recommended settings. Plus, if I want to change something specific, I just open RE, make a few changes to the conf file & then use RE again to execute the 99x script.

Now, Flar, can you look at adding a few of these functions to you Nexus 7 kernel? Pretty PLEASE? With sugar on top! lol.... I would love to see the backlight mod & maybe your govenors & gfx mods on my N7.
