Installed with no problem and running great! Love having gamma control. Many thanks ☺.

The changelog mentions overclock but I don't see any higher frequencies available in either the EX app or kernel adiuter. Am I missing something?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] sgravel:
Are the boot image modifications to allow for decrypted data included? Sorry if I missed that in the OP.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
Overclock/underclock will be selected during installation, just like EX on other devices. I'm probably going to do the installers tonight.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] nitinvaid:
Is charging slow? For me its showing 4hours untill full charge
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
I haven't touched any of that.

There are many, many things that can cause a slow charge.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
A little tweak to get rid of touchboost (in terminal, as root):

stop perfd

Use with caution, I'm not sure what else it does. It may be more beneficial to leave it running.

I just flashed this over my modified boot.img that I used to decrypt the FS after unlocking, and it still appears to be unencrypted when I go to Settings->Security->Encrypt phone
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] szucsgf:
Thank you! I also noticed that changes to hispeed_freq under the default Interactive governor do not survive a reboot using EXKM (doesn't survive reboot with Kernel Adiuter either, if that's useful to know). This setting didn't survive a reboot on stock kernel either. Don't know if anything can be done, but I thought it was odd enough to mention.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] sn0warmy:
Flashed this this morning as I was in a hurry to use display color tweaks to eliminate the "warm" factory display coloring. In my use over the past couple of hours, I haven't run into any notable issues. :highfive:

For reference, the things I've been testing as I go through my work day are:

- Phone speaker for conference calls

- Multiple incoming and outgoing calls

- Testing both Wifi and LTE

- Text messages

- Videos

- Hangouts

Battery:

With moderate/heavy usage for the past 6 hours I'm still at 81% battery which is about what I was getting with the stock kernel and similar usage.

Bluetooth:

Works flawlessly with my car, just like the stock kernel did.

The only tweaks I made with this kernel are the display color settings. I haven't tampered with anything else aside from that. But overall I'm seeing absolutely no stability issues at all.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] RedMaio:
wow I used and supported your kernel for the Nexus 5, I'm very happy to see it here. Thank you [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] !

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] hokee:
Thx flar2! Loved your work on N5 and looking forward to your awesomeness on N5X!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
Update!!!

Version 0.02 uses the AROMA installer to select options. It does not contain a boot.img. Instead it uses your existing ramdisk.

This means you need to be rooted before using this kernel! It should work with system-less root as well as Chainfire's modified boot.img.

The only kernel change is vibration control. You can adjust it with EX Kernel Manager version 2.26 (updated on Play Store today)

Download

ElementalX-N5X-0.02

Changes:

-add vibration control via sysfs

-add aroma installer
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] szucsgf:
Flashed. Wow I'm surprised the stock vibration is only 33%.

Overclock seems to work just fine. Overclocked each cluster 1 step.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Darkknight512:
Yea same about the vibration. 100% is intense on this thing.

I actually underclocked to minimums in the installer, seems to perform fine.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
100% rattles the phone, it's way too much
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] skulldreamz:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] I really can't thank you enough! You always are doing the incredible. Just got the update for .02 and the update for your ex app. Of course i installed both and so far everything is running really really smooth. Enjoy a cold one on me my dude, thanks again. Oh i am testing very intensely because i love your work and never owned a nexus device until now so I'm so excited. Thanks again my friend for everything you do...
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] largeselection:
Does adaptive display help or hurt when it comes to battery? Do the dimmer controls affect this at all?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] szucsgf:
Do you mean adaptive brightness or ambient display?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] largeselection:
Whoops I mean adaptive brightness!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] szucsgf:
1. Yes, backlight dimmer will affect adaptive brightness. The screen will be a little dimmer at low and mid levels of ambient light compared to stock.

2. Whether adaptive brightness affects battery life, it depends. If you normally manually set your brightness really then high adaptive brightness will improve your battery. If you normally manually set your brightness really low then adaptive brightness will hurt your battery.

And don't forget, with adaptive brightness on you can still move the brightness slider to make adaptive brightness bias more towards brighter or dimmer values.

But in any case the affect on battery depends on how bright your screen is on average, whether using adaptive brightness or not.

Version number in thread title shows 1.0,0 whereas we are in 1.0.1
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] xda890:
Is there a bug in the aroma script of 1.0.1? I am setting up my phone from scratch using Cataclysm but it seems that the settings I choose for wakeup gestures is not remembered.. I have tried several times now, wiping system and data before flashing cataclysm, supersu and then the kernel. But everytime the gestures have been disabled after installing.. Enabling these in the app works though...
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] linqdesires:
I was wondering it's feasible a brightness control like on the old CM where you can set brightness for each lux level.

I'd a like to have it a little less bright on complete darkness.

And

is it possible to make touchboost frequency editable from EXKM?

thank you :good:
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] xda890:
Hmmm... Tried one time today also and now the settings were remembered.... Only difference is that now my data partition was decrypted... (well, I think that was the only difference...:angel:)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
I will check that out.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
Pretty quiet here, how are the gestures working out?

I'm enjoying this phone a lot more since I can sweep up to wake. I just can't live without this feature.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] westernmg:
I'm enjoying this kernel in general.

Because of the comfortable fingerprint scanner i don't need wake-gestures.

But this kernel is a lot smoother than phasma, maybe because of the touchboost...

The combination of Ubermallow rom and EX-Kernel is really perfect.

Maybe undervolting and core-hotplugging could help us to squeeze out some more battery ;)

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] gleggie:
Are you able to run Ubermallow ROM with this kernel on enforcing?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] xda890:
Gestures working great.. Now I don't need to lift my phone when it's laying on the table... :)

Wake gestures are awesome! Pretty darn good especially when the phone is on my desk.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
Update!!!

I've added a new option to launch the camera by swiping down. All the same caveats about battery with wake gestures apply to this.

Also added the backlight option to the installer.

Download

ElementalX-N5X-1.02

Changes:

-add camera lauch gesture (swipe down to open camera)

-add backlight dimmer option to installer

-update installer
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] occtec:
Can someone please confirm what the default cpu governor is? Cheers
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] nathanchance:
I believe it is interactive
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] occtec:
Yeah I noticed, I just thought by default it would be Elemental X
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] nathanchance:
I am sure it will be once flar2 gets everything tuned properly.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] LoneWanderer_97:
So you recommend hawktail 1.2 or heimdall over ghost pepper?

Its easier for you and everybody else if you try Google for such things first, thanks.

I recommend Heimdall over HawkTail and GhostPepper.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] kevtrysmoddin:
I completely agree Heimdall is the best one I've tried so far
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ronakchavan:
Tried to apply Heimdall profile but my big cluster is turning off continuously. Any idea how to turn on the big cluster ?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] gialakias:
Let the temperature drop a little and it will turn on. It is probably the thermal throttling that shuts down the big cluster.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] froader:
Just curious what the noticable benefits are with Hemidal over HawkTail1.2. I ran with Hemidal since yesterday and before I make a judgement... Thx
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] LoneWanderer_97:
Me too
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ndarkside93:
I didn't see much difference in sot but it did seem to run cooler. I'm currently running a mix of heimdall's Loki and vidar, with elemental governor in both clusters and it seems to run smoother and cooler in my experience. And gives decent battery life.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ndarkside93:
This is the mix, just rename file extension to .sh then you can use your kernel manager to set them at boot.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] axiel7:
It can be used in EX kernel manager?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Eurofighter_ty:
Hi,

How can I disable the big cores via compiling the kernel from your sources? I just remove some files from the init RC file?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] tuningsea:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] can u add BFQ i/o in next release? ty
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] buffer overflow:
BFQ is here ?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] tuningsea:
oh ;d
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ndarkside93:
No, but I might try later to format it for that basically use a root explorer to run the sh script, then you can go into ex kernel manager and set everything to apply on bit. (Cpu speeds, governor, governor tunable, input boost, thermal throttle, core control)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Mesmurized:
When I plug a exFAT formatted OTG drive, a notification displays "this drive is not supported" (even though 4.0.5 supports exFAT). It works on 6.0.1. What am I doing wrong?

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:

[MENTION=298610]Flar[/MENTION] I have a problem. I have bought your app I Google play and loaded a profile and set it to apply in every boot. By this point everything is fine. The problem is I must disable touchboost every time I boot manually! Is there any way to make it automatic in every boot?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] joetheshmo:
Hit the apply on boot and wait after reboot for setting to apply.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] alirezaircn:
It's already set in "apply on boot". Profile applies on reboot flawlessly. Only Touchboost doesn't keep my choice (disabled) and every time I reboot it changes to "enabled" and I need to manually set it disabled.

I also noted the blue "power on/off" option in front of "touchboost" doesn't change the status disable/enable sometimes.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] joetheshmo:
The blue power toggle is the apply on boot switch. Keep it blue on settings you want to have applied on a reboot

It might be helpful to go to settings and show the tutorial again ?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] alirezaircn:
Noted and learnt! :D

Thank you! :)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] kurtisherzog88:
Hey all, posted on here a few times and I apologize if I need to simply be referred to earlier posts but mine is, as with so many, about battery life. Here's what I have: PN Rom, with Elemental kernel. Have had no less than 1.85% idle battery drain and have tried most of the profiles recommended in the gov as well as doing a full wipe and then a dalvik/cache wipe. Simple question: what does it mean that I have tried different profiles including manually inputting some and it has had no real affect on improving battery life?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] joetheshmo:
It means your apps are different than everyone else and are probably causing battery drain
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
With idle drain, it really depends on your cell signal. I work in a big office tower with lots of signal interference, so on work days my idle drain is usually over 1%/hr. When I'm at home on wifi, my idle drain is usually less than 0.5%/hr
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Atok_fr:
I saw that Linux 4.10 was out and was supporting Snapdragon 808 SoC... does it mean someone can build a kernel for Nexus 5X based on Linux 4.10, instead of 3.10 ?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] kurtisherzog88:
Yeah, was kinda figuring that. Any app or way you find to figure out which app (or apps) it might be? Thanks!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
Theoretically, yes, someone could probably get it to boot. Realistically, there is practically zero chance someone could port it and have all the various drivers (wifi, camera, etc.) in a working state.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Franco says the same as Flar2 over in his 6P thread.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] kurtisherzog88:
Crazy, I didn't know about that. Not much I can do, I guess. The only thing is, and I'm not refuting the possibility but I had really good battery life with Marshmallow but now it is significantly worse. I have read others say the same thing until they use the different profiles with Elemental. In the end, I know this phone has never had great battery life and I'm very new to all this as I've usually just stayed stock with my Nexus phones. I LOVE finally doing all this tinkering and am trying to educate myself as much as I can to see if there's a way to get better battery life. As I've stated a few times in previous replies, thanks so much, flar2, for offering any and all help!!

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Sonoo:
Hi all. I have got an issue. My big cluster is locked at Max cpu frequency of 633 mhz. The cell is cool. Temp is 35 degrees Celsius. Changing frequency via ex kernel manager doesn't stick for the big cluster. Plz help
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
clear cache and app data and try again.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Sonoo:
Already did that countless times. With and without reboots. No change. I am going out of my mind here.

Edit: Updated to latest 3.04 beta version of ex kernel manager. the option now works OK. Not sure if app update fixed that bug!!!!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] buffer overflow:
Definitely yes ! ?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] crazyates:
I've been using the stock ROM with this kernel for quite a while, and I love it! Works great with the EXKM app, and after reading a few suggestions from here, I switched from Ghostpepper to Heimdall, and it's working even better!

I have one quick question tho: Does this kernel support F2FS? I'd love to switch my Data/Cache to F2FS, but I can't find any info about if it's supported or not. I know ElementalX explicitly states it for the 5, but doesn't say anything about the 5x.

Thanks!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] khanjui:
It does not support F2FS and it will not support in future. Search the thread.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Sonoo:
New update: I think that whenever i apply any profile and set the apply on boot flag and then reboot, it locks the core frequency to lowest (633 MHz). It reverts to normal behavior when that flag is removed and phone is rebooted. Also the stock profile in ex kernel app does not affect the behavior in any way!!

Any insight will be highly appreciated. Thx
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] joetheshmo:
It's not necessary to reboot after applying a profile btw, but that's strange behavior for sure
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Sonoo:
I know it's not necessary. I meant that if you reboot then this thing happens. Agreed with you on strange behavior! Can anyone help me to replicate this? It might help in diagnosing this bug and its removal.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] buffer overflow:
Try to clean data and cache from app (not recovery), and set your profile manually (apply on boot) then reboot hard or soft.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Sonoo:
Ok. I will report back when I have done so.

Strip down version of the app

I installed elemental x kernel manager after installing elemental x kernel on Nexus5X. For some reason when I swipe to the left the app only shows me 3 options. CPU timer, battery monitor, and Elemental x( a way to update the kernel). I don't have all the options to change cpu frequency or the governor or any of that stuff. Can someone help me to regain all the functionality again?

Nevermind what I said. It's all good now
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
you didn't grant root permissions, right?

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ImQseft:
Try putting your phone in airplane mode before you sleep and take note of your battery level. When you wake up, check your battery level again. If the battery only decreased by 0-1% in total, your issue might have been caused by weak reception (either little to no signal or you set it to LTE preferred but you only get 3G/2G/etc) or weak wifi signal. If it has more, then it might have been caused by a rouge app messing with wakelocks.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] kurtisherzog88:
Thanks so much! I did that and it was as you said, only lost 2% total overnight. Also, installed Better Battery Stats and will post to that thread to see if anything else is going on. Thanks again!

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] , what would be the benefit of disabling perfd, if any?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
Disabling it will stop the system from messing with your frequencies. But I would not disable it because I don't know everything it does. It's just there for experimentation. EXKM is a tool that allows power users an easy way to do things, just because a setting exists doesn't mean it should be used.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
That's probably it. The thermal settings are complicated
