I used kernel tweaker for the first time to disable gboost and change the clock frequency of the gpu. I notified that the both maximum and minimum cpu frequencies are set to 1267 and I can in fact are this state and the 300 one the only ones being used in better battery stats. I am on 0.32. Is this intended?

Edit: using express settings apart for a light under volt.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bantamdraper:
Trying out .34 and running smooth as usual.

Anyone here that runs Antutu notice that the 3D scores are consistently lower on these last couple versions compared to .31 and earlier? Running both Mahdi and Purity I noticed my 3d scores are always at 500-600 points higher when using .31. Just wondering if there was something that was scaled back after .31 in order to extend battery life which might be affecting GPU performance? No biggie I suppose, just an observation :confused:

EDIT: Found the culprit..sorta. After some testing it turns out using the dalvik patch lowers my 3d score when running elementalx .34, but not when using .31 or earlier. Strange.

Any of you guys using this kernel with FKU ? Does it work good ? Thank You.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sxrmafia:
Flashing this on stock fpr the 1st time. Wish me Luck.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Simonna:
Good luck.Great kernel. ;)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sirovai:
I do but only to change color profiles. With this kernel you don't need to play with settings like with franco. Install with aroma and enjoy it. Stop ;)

Same here, I only use FKU for color profiles and to increase vibration intensity. This kernel is perfect and I have not had to change others parameters for better performance.

The thread title is dated March 17th, but the changelog is only dated through January. What's changed in newer versions?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DespairFactor:
The aroma installer has the changelog when you are about to install.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] PetritH:
Does disabling gboost gives you more battery ? did you guys notice any difference? Just asking :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] hutzdani:
Just flashed the latest build, works great as always.

With the new Timeout for S2W / DT2W does this time out totally after the set time ( in my case 15mins ) and not enable DT2W / S2W untill reboot ?

If not, how about a time out untill the next wake via power button.

S2W / DT2W enabled, if its not used for ( 5 /10 /15 / 30mins )switch it off untill the next time the user presses power to wake
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] jumparound246:
Didn't tried yet but is it not the way u explained how it should be...? It will get disabled after your preferred time and is enabled again after waking the device...or did i get something wrong?

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] hutzdani:
I have Yes but it was originally set to 60mins and I had other stuff to do but test it out and wait lol

But its clarified and clear now how it operates as the info given in the installer is slightly flakey.

Also when the time limit is exceeded it causes the screen to come on forms split second and then time out again ( tested with 15min time out )
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
Yep screen will flash on/off that's normal
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bantamdraper:
Nope. It's not there. After you agree to the terms the popup warning comes up about not flashing over a custom kernel.Click OK, then it goes straight to CPU settings, Max frequency etc. (.34)

I know it's in flar's posts. I'm not looking for the changelog. I was just replying to FuMMoD's post stating that the changelog was in the aroma installer. No changelog showing in the .34 installer
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
No I no that's y I wrote ' its there ' but I just checked your right there is no change log for 34 . its usually there . he must forgot ;P
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] FuMMoD:
You're right I just checked 0.34 and the aroma installer did not have it. Last time I used aroma was 0.32 and every time before that it had a changelog. After I switched to using express. You could just search for 0.34 and set the filter to flar2 and it'll bring you to his post. 0.34 added f2fs support and I think a new aroma installer setup, which could have caused the missing changelog.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] Do you know there is a ROM running your kernel? It's Elxi-R. Just making sure you knew.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bantamdraper:
Just a question for those who've clean flashed a rom and then used elementalx straight away.. I know if you're already on a different custom kernel you should dirty flash the rom again to get the stock kernel, boot into the rom first, and then go into recovery and flash elementalx.

If I'm doing a complete format and clean flash of the rom from the start (with stock kernel obviously), is it still a good idea to boot into it first before going back to recovery and flashing elementalx? I searched the thread and didn't really find a definitive answer. I've always done a clean wipe, flashed rom, gapps, elementalx, and then the first boot. Just curious what others typically do when doing a clean rom flash and using elementalx.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] numel007:
I always let my ROMs settle a day or two before trying custom kernels. Make sure you nandroid of course.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] misterviolinguy:

CM - 0.31

I tried all last version .. my rom is CM-M4 .. the best results for me with version CM-0.31 - Battery drain 0,2%/h and Antutu score more than 34000 with CM-0.31 kernel version..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] alb3rtt:
No. The truth is that the biggest influence on battery life is your own usage. That and wakelocks and the mm camera daemon bug thing.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] PunkOz:
You flashed the kernel or checked it to say its fake? I was excited and was about to post here about it :(
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
There's been a couple kernels that said they have GPU OC for months and months now , the way there claiming GPU OC is nothing new
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] PunkOz:
I've been checking xda everyday for weeks and I thought it was the first custom kernel with GPU OC, o well ... I guess we'll have to wait some more:)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] drawde40599:
I dont wanna name them off but Ya there is/was a few of them but it wasn't legit . I'd like to c it also :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] PunkOz:
By the way I found something weird, if i clean flash a ROM and before booting it i flash elemental and gapps the scrolling is a little bit laggy, the performance in games is a little bit laggy too, happened on both nexus 5 i have (one for sale BTW haha) if I flash a rom ,boot it and then reboot to flash kernel it'll improve the performance a lot, apps open faster, smoother, i don't know if i dirty flash the ROM again, boot it, and then reboot to flash kernel or if it was just a reboot to flash kernel again but it happened with both nexus 5. Weird isn't it? I think this should be put in the OP so people know how to get full performance out of this kernel.

Also, my CPU binning is 3 and if I overclock I don't get as good performance as stock 2.2 GHz.

Thanks for this amazing ROM!

Edit: I overclock to 2.7 GHz which isn't too much and it also happens to my other nexus 5, could be due to hotplug or mp decision not configured with OC frequencies?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gee2012:
Scrolling seems a little bit choppy some times, did anyone fix that by changing the settings? Running stock and undervolted -25 UV. Thanks in advance :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] PunkOz:
Check my post above yours and see if it fixes your lag :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gee2012:
Thanks mate for your swift response but i don`t need to OC, i reflashed the kernel without UV and see how it goes. Have no complaints about performance and it runs very good so far for the rest :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] PunkOz:
You got me wrong, i didn't tell you to OC, What i meant is try dirty flashing your kernel and gapps, then boot, then play with your phone for 5 minutes, then reboot into recovery and flash elemental x. That may fix your choppiness
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gee2012:
Now you got me wrong ;), i`am on stock (haven`t flashed a custom rom or Gapps). Guess the kernel needs some time to settle in, runs very well so far.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] tusa:
Sorry about I am newbie. I am using 0.32 in my first time, and now would like to switch to 0.34. Do I need to flash my stock ROM and then upgrade it? Or I just go to recovery mode and install the zip once again? Please advise~ :D

Just flash the zip in recovery and reboot, thats fine.

Whenever I try to install latest AOSP Version of this kernel to stock rom as primary rom in MultiRom, phone gets into bootloop, while other kernels doing fine, donno where i am doing wrong,

- primary rom stock

- secondary rom mahdi

- just directly flashed latest AOSP kenel .34

- result is bootloop(tried many times)

- help please

Is this Kernel multi Rom supported, and some one pls suggest me how to get it work
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] LOVE ME PLEASE:
I am a hard core XDA member, so, I've tested some of the best around. You my friend, just made the best kernel I've ever tried! How the hell did you do it??? Great job!!!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
It shouldn't make any difference, but it is defintiely a good idea to boot into your ROM at least once after you install it, before installing other things like the kernel. The first boot after you flash a rom, there will be a lot of things happening as the system configures itself, apps get reinstalled, etc. I think what you're seeing is the effects of a whole lot of background stuff going on after your first boot.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Tqpolo:
I was on Franco kernel since the beginning and hasn't try another kernel. I was having problem with Franco with screen flickering, constant crashes, and lag performance. I think it's just my case and it just doesn't run well on my phone. Ever since I tried Elemental my phone is like new. It runs so much better. I still can't believe my zippy and stable it is. Thank you.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] siravarice:
Anyone else under volt to 750? I'm wondering whether it's causing a few apps to lag a tiny little bit, but I don't know how much this improves my battery life.

Anyone tried both and seen what the difference is?

Its incredible how much people came here from Franco reporting positive feedbacks about this kernel.

I UV to 725 didn't notice any lags whatsoever... im running all stock except uv and 320 gpu.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] FuMMoD:
Undervolting is to reduce heat, not increase battery. If you want to improve battery life then underclock your CPU.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] letmedanz:
hey gee

good to see you asking some questions for a change ;)

the choppiness/lag can be fixed by changing your scheduler & read ahead buffer.

some people see exceptional results with deadline, for other is SIO, for me & few others its ROW.

and i usually set the read ahead to 256 or 512..

lag gone completely..

you'll have to try with the schedulers to see which one likes your device :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] FAdrums:
Well been a Franco user since I got my N5 (December) and always been a "fan" and also didn't want to try any other kernel. Tried Elementalx yesterday for the first time on stock from a fresh image flash. I am impressed. Still one day only but it all seems great! Good stuff!

Hello

i have a question

After restore or change a kernel/Rom when my phone boots i have big temps,like 70c

All cores are online and thermal throttling isn't fast enought to slow down the frequencies.

So maybe it's something on my hardware maybe something f@@ up with it?

Yesterday i have it in my jacket's pocket with the flashlight open for over 30 mins,after i saw it.it was really hot.

This problem i have with different kernels i tried.

So what do you think guys?

Hi [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION], just update my ElementalX kernel to the 0.34 version. Then I notice the boot time take a bit longer than usual (never take that long when I was using 0.31 or stock kernel). Is it supposed to be like that? Or maybe that's because I also patched Dalvik + Bionic optimization, but the boot time is just fine when in 0.31 :eek:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
This kernel uses the existing ramdisk. You should install the kernel that came with your Rom before you install this. Franco, and maybe others, install a ramdisk that will not start mpdecision.

A dirty flash of your Rom would do the trick .

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Grondinm:
D2TW is a nice feature but it comes with a trade off that it needs to keep part of the phone(that would normally be off when the screen is off) on in order to be able to detect the taps so increasing battery use while idle. I think flar2 said something about improvements to it's battery use but it will definitely use more then if you leave it off...

I'm using Cataclysm ROM and I jhust downloaded this kernel.

I use TWRP, and I flashed .7.2. I then rebooted, and it won't boot. It goes to the google logo, reboot. goes to the google logo reboot. again and again.

Does anyone know whats wrong? Faux kernel works fine.

I would highly recommend installing stock kernel prior to installing any custom ones. Some use existing ramdisk & some dont
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Make sure you have the boot.img that came with your ROM before you install this. If you already have ElementalX installed, you can flash over it.

If you're not sure, or had another kernel installed before, dirty flash (that is, flash without wiping) your ROM and you will have it.

The only way to ensure maximum compatibility with all ROMs is the reuse the ramdisk that came with the ROM.

Anyway, this is a minor update, with some patches that hopefully reduce the wakeups from wifi connections. Also an update to the faux sound patches. And I removed some CPU frequencies, there were a lot.

Download:

ElementalX-N5-0.8 *BETA*

Changes:

-wifi fixes

-faux123 sound fixes

-remove some CPU frequencies

Thank you sir!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] -DarkKnight-:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Are there others using Cataclysm?

Just to clarify, you don't want to install stock kernel before flashing, you want to install the kernel that came with your ROM.

It would be best to post the install logs and /proc/last_kmsg otherwise I don't know what the problem is.

If you don't want to do that, version 0.7 installs a full boot.img.

You need to give us more details. What goes into bootloop? Because running multirom means you have more than one rom. So are you saying one of them bootloop? Both of them bootloop? Are you sharing the kernel in multirom? Details man details.
