Hi, i installed this kernel on nougat (NDR90S) and when i turn screen on the brightness is set to maximun during 1-2 second and after to the level that i have set. It is normal? Any solution for this?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
Not normal and not kernel related
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] :
do you have forcedoze or naptime installed and running?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] axiel7:
Yeah i use naptime

Nevermind, i enter in the faq menu and its related to motion sensors, sorry but i thought that was related from the kernel and backlight dimmer
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] :
hahahaha thats what i was going to say. anyway, glad you solved it. :)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
Anywhere we can find detailed explainings for the included interactive governor presets?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
I would say it's stock settings as Google intended.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] sugarinos:
Which are the suggested settings for governors and profiles for nexus 5x, balanced between performance and battery? Maybe leaning towards performance...

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
Under cpu there are presets to load for different modes of setups for interactive governor. I was asking if there is somewhere infos about those presets. Yes, there is also stock preset.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] manpildo:
Yes, there is. Use xda or google search to find out, some of them are explained in the OP.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
Not much but what is discussed in that governor thread. Bookmark this and do what I do, as someone post a new profile, there's an explanation and decide is it for you or not.

Yea, I was hoping maybe there is all in one place and to seek thought a massive thread. I also have some presets which I dont find on that thread.

I guess it should stick somewhere as for reference.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] cachisenlamar:
Excellent kernel. I have a curiosity , I 've seen some kernels with the idle GPU runs at 27MHz , this kernel always runs at 180MHz ?, not save battery if run at 27MHz ?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
It should, i agree but couldn't find that happy place :D. Some are from last year or the beginning of this year and are considered old. Hawktail, GlassFish, kestrel (oc), Fairpark... These are the newest and you can find explanations on few last pages in that thread. :svetius:

---------- Post added at 12:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 PM ----------

Not necessarily, jumping up and down from that low frequency could actually use more battery.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] khanjui:
This kernel is stock kernel with additional features. Trying to stick with that as much as possible. And yes, 27 MHz is better than 180 MHz for battery life while idling.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
The GPU is idle most of the time, despite showing 180 frequency. This is purely a cosmetic issue.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] powerrffs:
Since version 3.05 update, I can not be used in zRAM. Did you ever intended? I'm sorry I did not speak English well. I currently use NRD90S Stock.

hi guys, I flashed the last nougat factory image, will I get better battery flashing this kernel and leaving stock parameters? I mean flar2 ones? thanks

For some profiles presets and you'll have much better battery life.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] parthabhatta:
Thanks.

Just for your info - the surround sound mod is by [MENTION=5108383]sshafranko[/MENTION] which enables the top phone speaker (intended for listening to caller) to play music too, albeit at a much lower volume, thus enabling the stereo output from 5x. Good bit of value addition:):). To balance the output I reduce the gain of the phone speaker (intended for playing music) and thats where I use EX kernel manager for reducing the gain the speaker. If you like you can click for details of the mod.

Lastly, I am enjoying the kernel and I will follow your advise to wait a bit before checking and let you know of any improvements.

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
Update!!!

This update continues with a bit more optimization. Let's see how it goes.

I've also added a touchboost option. This setting will be available in EX Kernel Manager version 2.34, which I just pushed to the Play Store about an hour ago. This will allow you to turn off the long cpu boost to 1248/864 whenever you touch the screen. The path is /sys/module/msm_performance/parameters/touchboost. Whether this makes a difference in battery life is still up for debate, now you can test it yourself.

As always, by default, everything acts just like stock.

The EXKM update also has improvements to setting the minimum CPU frequency. I still don't recommend touching it, but it seems to be reliable now, even when touchboost is enabled.

Download

ElementalX-N5X-0.09

Changes:

-build with o3 gcc optimization

-Add touchboost option

Can anyone tell me how to install this Kernel for Ubermallow ROM? Ubermallow doesn't come with the Stock ROM, so installation is tricky
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ViRb3:
Just when I thought my phone cannot get any faster... Thank you! Newest update running friction-less smooth.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Make sure that you are flashing this over the kernel that came with the ROM and just flash the zip. If it doesn't boot, reboot into TWRP and reflash with SELinux Enforcing unchecked.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] linqdesires:
I'm experiencing slower fingerprint recognize compared with stock. Are you getting the same? I don't know where to search for an issue.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
This is not related to the kernel. This kernel currently has no issues.

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
You can try it an let us know.

However, a couple users have already found current versions of EX won't boot on the Nexus 5 and Nexus 6.

We probably have to wait for source.

My camera isn't working. Just loads to a black screen with the shutter button on the bottom.

For me i cleared data/cache for the cam app then flashed stock boot.img. Booted then launched cam. Worked. Then i flashed elementalx again. Then it all worked.

---------- Post added at 01:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 AM ----------

I also had issues with play store but a clear data on the app fixed it. Think its from flashing 6.0.1 but i didn't boot up with stock kernel and flashed elementalx right away.

Yeah cam stopped working. Guess we have to wait for flar to update.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
There are no new kernel commits for the update. The camera not working is not a kernel problem

You need to wipe cache, and maybe data.

I'm doing a clean install

It looks like we will need to use SuperSU 2.61 as well
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] andresee:
Looks like they just pushed some changes. I am running 2.61 as well. Check sources again. Stock kernel works fine. Flash elemental and the cam brakes. Just letting you know.

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
Yes, indeed, source was just updated.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
Update!!!

Update for Android 6.0.1

For stock ROM:

If you want root, you must use SuperSU 2.61 found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64161125&postcount=3

Flash SuperSU 2.61 in recovery, then flash ElementalX in recovery

You only need to install SuperSU the first time. Once you are successfully rooted, you can install any future update of ElementalX without reflashing SuperSU again.

If you install other kernels after this, you must flash stock boot.img, then SuperSU 2.61, and then ElementalX.

For pre-rooted custom ROM:

Just flash ElementalX

Download

ElementalX-N5X-1.00

-update for Android 6.0.1
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Andrija231:
I don't know if this was mentioned before.. . My phone reboots each time I try to talk via Bluetooth headset. No matter if I talk over Facebook or hangouts... This happends just one time, so when the phone boots up i can talk normally. At first i taught it was the Rom. But I flashed stock NRD90S, which only in combination with elemental x, 3.05 and 3.04 behaves like described.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
I never make any changes to Bluetooth, so it's unlikely the kernel.

Bluetooth is notoriously flaky, if it happens regularly then the headset is probably not a good match for the phone.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Andrija231:
I taught so, but yet again, on stock everything works fine. No idea what else could cause such behavior.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] edoardotavecchio:
I'm on stock latest Nougat rom, I'm actually using franco kernel but I'd like to try this one. Is it safe to flash ElementalX kernel over franco's one, regardless of the advertisement in the OP (don't flash over custom kernels)? Could restore stock boot.img (I've made a nandroid backup before flashing kernel) be enough to restore properly ramdisk and safely install this kernel?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Lol I think the OP was pretty clear on the matter...

Yes, you can restore your boot image backup then flash EX.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] edoardotavecchio:
Yes it was, as you see I've understood how to do that by myself.

You don't need to touch them, but IMO the screen is undersaturated and colors looks washed out. I set 45 instead of default 32.

flash elementalx zip

reboot

Thanks for your reply, but now, it isn't booting, opens again twrp, i'm going to download factory image :/

He didn't mentioned supersu, that the step that's missing and the reason it's not booting.

No need for factory image

You could Just try to boot again, this happens to me too. Try to reboot system another time and maybe it works.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] niklus101:
Can i reflash EX and uncheck d2tw to disable it? or is there another way?

yes, this will work. or you do it nice and easy on the fly with EXKM app. its really worth it :)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Nex23:
Holy ....

I have a bootloop after trying to flash boot.img in order to return to stock kernel from ElementalX kernel.

What i did:

-Deleted SuperSU (i think that was the mistake)

-fastboot flash boot boot.img

-fastboot reboot

-> bootloop

What do i do now ? (i have backups but i dont know how to enter twrp now). It is stuck at the google logo and when i press power 8 sec is gets stuck there again ...

Edit: Ok, i got into TWRP. Should i backup or what ? I dont really know what i did wrong. This worked before to get back to stock kernel, so i am confused.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
please don't ask the same questions in different threads, your other post has been answered here. please follow up there, thanks.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] :
is it only me or the ex kernel app has bugs/glitches on setting up big cluster frequencies? :confused:
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
Could you describe these bugs? Works perfectly for me. I suspect your big cores are offline.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] :
i cannot exactly remember it wahaha but it was setting up little/big cluster's input boost, i think. it does not actually use the one you chose instead it uses the closest real frequency.

one more thing, can you please change the behavior of changing the input boost ms? its not deleting the current value so your new input would just append the current value. e.g. 40 current value, input 100 as new value, output is 10040. not a really big but definitely just my nitpicking attitude :silly: still, thanks to you :o
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Shadowops34:
Anyone else getting constant reboots and crashes after installing?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] TheLastSidekick:
Yeah, I had to flash factory image once more, boot up without root. Reboot into recovery, flash root, reboot. Then flash kernel and then crashing didn't persist. At first I thought I'd get bricked from that nasty bug, but that wasn't the case. I don't suspect this is a kernel issue at all.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
No. You may be affected by the Nougat update issues. Google is aware.

Question: When I reset settings in the EXKernel App settings the governor profile seems to be different than when I choose "stock" profile under CPU settings. I thought EX Kernel uses stock android settings on default. So which governor profile is active when I reset or new-install the Kernel App?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
The app doesn't change any values when you reset it. It just wipes any settings that you've saved.

If you wipe app settings and then reboot your phone, everything will be at stock defaults.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] daver68:
What if I'm still on MM and not N?

I'm using PureNexus, and just updated to the ElementalX 1.20 kernel. Suddenly the phone is crashing during boot, and essentially boot looping. I've tried restoring to factory stock via fastboot, I've tried flashing multiple ROMs via recovery (TWRP). Flashing always seems to work just fine, but the moment I reboot into the OS, it just freezes and then crashes on boot. Endless boot loop, so to speak.

I don't think it's the Nougat bug, but definitely looks like something wrong with the eMMC...
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Psychofrantics:
Helllo guys. I need a bit of help. As we know, the hotplug temprature of elemetalx by default is 46. However, I want to change the hotplugging temperature of big cores to 51 without root. Can anyone point me toward some solution. I will like to change it through TWRP or any other means e.g. modifying kernel zip. Any help is much much appreciated

Later Edit: New factory images are live. They are still 7.0.0 (NBD90W)

Update!!!

Nougat

ElementalX-N5X-3.06

Changes:

-October security update

-add zen io scheduler
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] i_pk_pjers_i:
I believe that I get a boot loop whenever I attempt to install 3.06, it always puts me back in TWRP after I flash 3.06. I did an upgrade from 3.05, and a clean install of N then installed 3.06. 3.05 did not have this behavior I don't think. I'll clean install 3.05 and see if it works.

edit: wiped my whole device, it still boots back into TWRP after flashing 3.05, but stock kernel does not do this. Very odd. Well, time to clean flash for the third time. Sigh.

edit2: clean install of N + SuperSU 2.78 without ElementalX results in no boot loops, works fine. Any idea why ElementalX would cause me to boot loop into recovery every time? My 6P does not do this.

edit: Now it just booted up fine after flashing 3.06 after I rebooted a couple times (before flashing 3.06) and gave up on the idea of installing ElementalX. I'm so confused. Whatever, I'll take it. I did a nandroid backup in TWRP and I'm good to go.

hallo everyone i bought the kernel manager app of yours and i tweaked with thermal_tweaking v1.2.2 since then my phone battery was awesome ...

i didnt update my stock rom to the October security patch but i updated the kernel via app manager.....since then i think i have a serious battery drain...like off screen and i loose 5-7% in 10-20 minutes which i dont think happened in the past...

do you think is the update or just me?(i am rooted with greenify etc....)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] peltus:
Try updating your ROM to the October patch.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] zurik:
If I install this kernel I will have problem to upgrade or update my phone, for example to Android 7.1 with flashfire?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] peltus:
Probably no problems if you just flash the version of ex that's based on 7.1 when it comes.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] zurik:
That means I will not have problems when I upgrade to next version of android or update a security update.
