Thank you all who helped me! I got the kernel working now. Just wondering if I can somehow change my CPU throttling degree and overclock my GPU? Thanks already. Not sure if this post belongs here :/

As I said sooner, I tested the drain with global voltages -50mV leaving the device idle for ~9 hours

I didn't expected any differences but I admit I'm surprised

with global -50mV the iddle drain was 0.51% per hour, with normal voltages this drain is 0.75% per hour, reducing the voltages made the device spend only 2/3 of the normal idle drain
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] sirxdroid:
Is the potential instability created by reducing the voltage worth 0.24%/hr? Not to me.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chugger93:
man I cant find a change log for the diff between ElementalX-N5-4.04 and ElementalX-N5-4.02 which is on my Xtrasmooth Rom that I just installed. (came bunded with 4.02)

Should I be upgrading to 4.04?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] fabio000:
I never had any instability caused by undervolting even with -100mV, this varies a lot from each device, the only way to know the "limits" of your is testing, normally I use -50 or -75, but I used default yesterday because of the tests

4.04 is equal the 4.03 beta, the difference from 4.02 is that 4.04/4.03 is built with linaro 4.9.4 toolchain
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chugger93:
hmm, ok, sounds like its really just personal preference at that point.,
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] andredn8:
Why in my elementalx kernel app it shows screen on time differently by the system? its not minute but hour :/

can anybody explain it?

could it be causes of I use ambient display mode?

I'm on stock 5.1.1

Thanks, please if it is, i will turn off the ambient display since it haha
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
My app measures battery differently than other apps. Look at the amount of battery used under screen on, its over 100%. It measures the total screen on time while on battery since you booted. If you don't reboot for a week, the screen time could grow to twenty hours or more.

My battwry monitor is basically interested in active/idle drain % per hour.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Scartozzi:
does anyone tried the kernel with the yesterday's build?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] SpasilliumNexus:
It's only a stagefreight fixed build along with other minor stuff.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] aavvaallooss:
Yes, no problem
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Primokorn:
After reading this great article :good: I wanted to check my idle drain overnight.

My device was fully charged yesterday evening. I quickly browsed on Internet so I was at 96% before going to bed. When I awoke, my battery was at 93% despite my 0% idle drain. My phone was in airplane mode without Internet connection. I know it's normal to have a little battery drain after several hours of deep sleep but why I'm getting 0% of idle drain in Ex Kernel Manager?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bartolinio:
[MENTION=4958579]Primokorn[/MENTION] at night I lost 16% of battery and I'm getting 0% of idle drain in Ex Kernel Manager :)

is some bug
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I haven't pinned down the reason for that bug yet. It happens most often on n5, I've not seen it on n6.

Hy i use xposed for a while now on 5.1.1 and so far hadnt had any issues... What kind of problems did you have? Just want to know in case i am missing something
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
there are apps which don't work with it, one of them is sygic which is an app i use every day and tried all others and found it so much better that i will not trade it in. then there were things happening which were a bit weird which i did not encounter before and after using xposed and since i have 7 devices in total, 2 of them with xposed installed, i get quite a good picture as to the difference in daily usage. so my 2 daily main drivers, nexus 5 and OPO, are without xposed at the moment for the above reasons, while my galaxy notes and others are running with xposed.

then there is the point that i had 3 main apps running with xposed, greenify, amplify and app settings for per app dpi. greenify xposed version caused connection drops and other issues for me while greenify without xposed works flawlessly. amplify worked perfectly at all times, no problem, while per apps settings works with some roms on some devices but not with and on others. unfortunately my favourite roms don't work with app settings at the moment so that due to the fact that i got my battery under control without amplify (1% more now than with amplify in 10h idle ) it's simply not work the downsides for my usage, while depending on someone elses use pattern that may differ :)

EDIT: oh... perhaps, to be fair, i should add that after sygic was not running under xposed on any device at all, it suddenly started to work on the OPO but still does not on the nexus 5. this is a similar experience like with app settings, a bit random and hard to predict. this is something i cannot accept. i want to know what does what to my device and decide whether i can or want to take it or not. random and intermittent issues are in my case a "death sentence" for any technology, no matter if it's a car, a plane, a boat, a computer or a phone etc. LOL
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] JonesL:
Hey, flar2 would you ever consider adding more I/O schedulers to your awesome kernel? Like Zen for example.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] alvintimothyjr:
Yes...consult the OP. There is a CAF version available.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I don't know of that works anymore, and it's not a good idea anyway.

Set a frequency in aroma and forget about it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] scrack26:
I think he said CM12.1, unless the one in the OP is for the latest CM? Correct me if I'm wrong. Cheers!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ajeesh vijayan:
what i did was

selected diffrent freequency option in aroma..selected 2.2Ghz..when i changes max speed in EX app the second core was still [MENTION=3058039]2.2[/MENTION]ghz consistently always..

you will be right.. because you are the developer.. but it will be handy if we can set slightly higher frequency for 2 cores and low frequency for rest..

just my thought..

thank you for this awesome kernel..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
We can't do this anymore, because of some changes I made, and some changes Google made. Too many things are trying to manipulate frequencies these days.

MAX CPU problem

Dear [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]: sorry for continiously troubling you with this issue, but it still occurs to me :(

It still smooth in general using, but when playing game (I came from format data, clean install and only install one game for testing - Marvel contest of Champ) is too lag for me (max freq of all CPUs are 1.1 all of the time)

I'm really confused. I've been suffering this anoying <bug?> since 2 months.

First I thought it's the kernel or kernel manager problem (since some version doesn't have this issue and even when the 4.02 version came out, you've mentioned that it has fixed the max CPU problem @_@) but it still occurs with 4.02 after a while and even with stock kernel come with the rom like BlissPop, Catalysm... (after formating data and clean install)

Some member suggested to wait a bit after reboot, some time it's worked, the max CPU went up to 2.2 (only once or twice) and 1.5 but most of the time it still stucks to 1.1

Wonder what's going on and any way to fix this completly?

EDIT: found this thread, maybe MPDecision is really the cause?

but acctually I still got the problem with the custome hotplug

The bright side is that after flasing ElementalX, I can set the max CPU to 2.2 in Ex kernel Manager or Kernel Auditor (not like with the stock kernel comes with the custom Rom - I cann't even set it) but it just sticks for a while.. :silly: :crying:

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I'm 99% sure it's due to thermal throttling.

Uninstall Kernel adiutor and any other kernel apps.

If you want to check frequencies and temperatures, use DevCheck.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] MrPenez:
What does the gboost do?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Gboost makes the CPU governor more aggressive while playing 3d games. This allows the governor to be less aggressive during general use but with no lag during gaming.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Woody:
Hey man, hope all is well with you and you are enjoying your summer. With regards to the above, I wonder what "implications" adjusting the gboost has on Cardboard apps. I just got one last week and have been playing with it, but one factor is that it eats battery like a hippie eating Doritos. Any thoughts about this? I know that Cardboard isn't really 3d but rather just slightly altering images from one eye scope to the other, do you think that messing with gboost might help or hinder?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Summer is great, but I'm working hard on development and at my job. :cool:

gboost kicks in when the gpu frequency increase. So if Cardboard cause the GPU frequency to increase for sustained periods, then gboost will kick in. You could try without gboost and see if makes a difference.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] yeoldeusrename:
I've done some searching and can't seem to find an answer, so I apologize if it's out there:

Where are the color profile / gamma settings (which are in use) stored in system? I'd like to set up some tasker tasks to change the color profile with daylight.

It would be nice if franco's app had tasker intents for this, but I don't think it does. So I'm going to have to write a script for tasker to manually change the values in the system file.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] NovaSlim:
Those are stored in the ElementalX folder on your sdcard.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] yeoldeusrename:
Thanks, but I meant the one currently in use. It would be in a system file in /sys or /system I would think. My script would pull the desired profile from the folder you indicate and write it to the system file which the gamma algorithms reference.

OT: Can someone recommend a good screen recorder? Something easy to use that doesn't have restrictions, or add extra watermarks/logos to the picture?

I need to do a video on the new feature in DevCheck, which I think is best demonstrated by a short video.

probably not what you want but if you find nothing else, install blisspop rom it has screen recorder without restricitons built in, works absolutely great for me. with a nandroid and without installing apps or anything it's almost no work LOL

Not working with the latest CyanogenMod nightly

I've been using ElementalX with CyanogenMod 12.1 on my Nexus 5 for months now - love the kernel :) However, I've just installed the latest (13th Aug) nightly and ElementalX won't install - either from the recovery or from the EX Kernel Manager (the app says the kernel isn't compatible). Is a kernel update required due to some change in CyanogenMod? I've tried a factory reset and full reinstall with no joy. Using CyanogenMod 13 Aug nightly (along with the CyanogenMod 13 Aug recovery) and Banks GApps 12 Aug pack. Tried the 4.04 Kernel.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]. First of all, my congrats for the excelent work you made so far. I Was a Fan of code Blue kernel, until the dev stoped the development of this kernel, than, i switched to your kernel... And i have to be honest, your kernel is Just great. But, if i can make you a sugestion, probaly its better to you and for your work to turn your kernel manager free! You See, when more People gets your kernel and can tweake it, then, more and more will spead your work... With all the respect, let me say to you, donations is better than paid apps... Its only my opinion! My 2 cents ?. Great job

SCR http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2422061

The original app has been removed from Play Store due to SELinux stuff, but the dev put it back here included with the Pro version for free.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
I did not have an app for the longest time, and my free kernel was approaching one million downloads. Out of many tens of thousands of users, I did not receive enough donations to cover the cost of my devices, let alone the minimum 30 hours a week i spend on development, answering emails, support, maintenance, etc. I'm not complaining, as this is entirely voluntary, juat saying it's not sustainable without some money coming in. ElementalX is a one-man operation, and I have a family and career outside Android.

The truth is, the majority of people won't pay if they don't have to. Look at Kernel Adiutor. It's a fine app, with 100,000+ downloads, but the donate version only has 500 downloads, and the author only receives 70% of the approximately $1US price. Which means he is probably working for pennies on the hour.

So that's why my app is paid, and I think the price is reasonable for a premium product, and I think it's been a success. And the Kernel is a great success too. I'm very thankful to all my users, whether they've contributed or not.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nsg86:
Hi flar2, can I safely use this kernel in lmy48i? Thanks a lot :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
Yes, no Kernel changes
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DroidIt!:
Agree on all counts. I've been running your kernel(s) :) and app across a range of devices for about a year and a half and never had a single kernel issue that I can recall. You've had an occasional rare hiccup with your app here or there, but again I've never had an issue. So personally, I think you do deserve everything you've gained from either donations or app buys and hope you keep gaining more users and have continued success and you're able to do whatever is you plan to do with your hard earned money their flar. ;)

A lot of schedulers are not relevant to the kernels in Lollipop. Don't think Zen is but don't quote ote me. Its a set and forget kernel, so never say never but don't hold your breath. Its great as it is, in fact the best it has been, IMHO.

I just looked. Its got a ton anyway. More than enough.

Screen Recorder. No limits. No watermarks. Made for Lollipop. Only one that does what it claims. Will record upto 1080. But i dont due to space. Uses the phone mike for sounds which is a plus or minus..

What should i do in this file to raise the temp limit of thermal throttling? My device freq goes down to 1.5 Mhz when i start browsing and gaming. I think the default temp limit is 65°C and i need to raise it to 75-80. I dont worry about my device l's battery. Please help. ? ✌

?neXus 5-->EuphoriaOS?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Chirag7:
In Electroactive kernel, you can set the throttle limits for multiple phases using the thermal driver itself, but I'm not sure ElementalX has that option in the thermal driver (maybe in a file?)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] BlazeForth:
Yea i know. But in elementalx its not possible with an app. I read somewhere that its should be edited in thermal.conf..?☺

?neXus 5-->EuphoriaOS?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] flar2:
You can change the thermal limits during installation or with the ex kernel manager.

There are three thermal profiles in the installer zip.

Yeah it's quite a lot, about 2% per hour. If you like it, set a screen time-out for it, for example 5 minutes. You can do that with the app or changing the text with a file manager.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] crfrank2010@gmail.com:
OK, the problem is the CyanogenMod Recovery - it won't let you install the ElementalX kernel .zips. Went back to TWRP Recovery and the kernel installed fine.

---------- Post added at 11:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 AM ----------

Oh, one last thing - the EX Kernel Manager still says it can't find a compatible version when CyanogenMod/CAF is selected? Tells me I have the latest version installed if I select Stock/AOSP instead? This is with CyanogenMod nightlies installed, 4.04 ElementalX kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
there is no cm/caf version for LP, while a caf version for some custom roms like bliss exists but is not supported by this kernel, cm let caf be for good and based their LP kernel on aosp from day one, which i find a good move BTW.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] crfrank2010@gmail.com:
OK, this is what confused me - CyanogenMod had (as I understood it) some cherrypicked CAF features so was no longer considered Stock/AOSP. That's why I was selecting CyanogenMod/CAF in the app. Still doesn't explain why the CyanogenMod Recovery refused to install the kernel .zip when TWRP did fine (unless cm recovery simply doesn't like non-cm kernels being installed).

Thanks for the info :)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] magnamentis:
there is not so much to understand as to the cm recovery, it's a simple fact that that recovery cannot be compared with what we have know for a long time as a custom recovery, because it's NOT a real custom recovery but a hyprid between stock cm and stock OEM. cm do not see themselves as a mere provider of custom roms, but as a coming major player in the OS scene which yet has to be seen.
