It's me! I'm back again!! I re-flashed back to stock Nexus 6.0.1 and see the following.. (I use a lot of images to help since I am horrible at explaining things) ...

ElementalX App

Phone Version Info
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] tohtorin:
Nougat is out! Waiting for AOSP sources so we can have EX for nougat. Or wondering does DP5 kernel work.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Based on M and previous N previews, the DP5 kernel should work just fine.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] gpvecchi:
You are on stock kernel.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] RusherDude:
N DP5 kernel should work on official Nougat right? The official image is like the same than Dev. Preview 5 people said.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
Strange. Uninstall and reinstall the app.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] RusherDude:
He has stock kernel, right?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] jbarcus81:
Correct.. was completely stock.. the app says no compatible version of the ElementalX kernel was found..
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
Doesn't matter. If he has a 5X the download should show up.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] jbarcus81:
I'm trying again... I'll let you know here soon..

All is fine!! I removed the app and did a fresh flash of Supersu and such... it's fine! Flashing and rebooting the kernel now!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] RusherDude:
Forgot about that... never tried to install the kernel live with root :P, thanks!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] pakman5391:
I'm sorry if this has already been answered but there's 277 pages and I dont have time to read through them all. I am N preview 5 running elemental C and my big Cluster is stick at the 384 MHz. No matter what I do it's stuck there. I am using the EX kernel manager to modify it. Is there any fix?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] jimyiak:
i know that maybe is offtopic but yesterday i flashed pure nexus rom with this kernel..i left it overnight in charger and in the morning i noticed that my charger doesn't work :( two months old only!!i tryied other wall plugs but nothing..now i'm using an old charger with type c adapter and i ave slow charge :(
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] tohtorin:
Maybe? That IS offtopic.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Not sure about the other features (since I don't use them) , but the double-click-to-wake doesn't work for me.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] nathanchance:
I have noticed this on every single kernel I am on. Have you tried toggling it in EXKM a few times?

I fixed in my ramdisk, which is where flar2 enables it from the Aroma installer as well, but I added a bunch of permissions as I think something was getting messed up before. Unsure if that was entirely necessary but now I boot up every single time and wake gesture work flawlessly.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] AndroidDeveloperLB:
I've re-flashed the kernel, and now it works fine. Odd.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] AndroidDeveloperLB:
haha, indeed.

I do have a question though:

It is said in the first post of this thread "Does not force encryption" .

How can I choose that it will not be encrypted?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] nathanchance:
What that means is that it changes the fstab flag on /data from forceencrypt to encryptable. What that means for you is this:

If you are currently encrypted, you will stay encrypted.

If you are currently decrypted, you will stay decrypted.

If you are currently encrypted and want to decrypt, you will need to format data in TWRP (Wipe > Format Data) or fastboot (fastboot format userdata) after flashing the kernel.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] owichiu:
hi, I saw that the EX kernel for 6p has been updated for Nougat. May I know if the 5x one will be updated soon too? thanks!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
I didn't update the 6P kernel, I just found out it works and it looks like the source didn't change.

I think it will work here too, just waiting for a few people to try it and report back.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] bsinc1962:
I took the full OTA and did a full wipe. Re-rooted and flashed twrp. Flashed 3.04 and it's running great.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Is "format data" mean that only apps will be removed ? Or does it mean the whole storage will be deleted?

Is it the same as "factory reset" ?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] peltus:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] 3.04 also working fine on 7.0 here!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
The whole storage, unfortunately.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] crian:
Format Data wipes your internal storage. So back up your important data before you do this.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
same here, 3.04 runs perfectly on 7.0 final.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] yl1504:
Same for me, no issues so far with 3.04!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Eugene729:
Great kernel! stable performance, no stutters or random reboot after a week of usage on CM13. :)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] suku_patel_22:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] As per your suggestion flashed 3.04 and it's working fine .
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] crian:
Can confirm this. Running 3.04 without any issues.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] danthepan124:
For some reason, the last two cores were offline, is that a bug?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
No, the battery driver or thermal daemon can put them offline.

Everything to do with that is completely stock behaviour.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
Update!!!

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

I've also added a backlight dimmer option. The screen brightness was really bothering me. This makes it slightly less bright at all levels, especially in the middle of the range. It also makes the transition from bright to dark a lot smoother. And it makes the minimum brightness level darker. The path is /sys/module/mdss_fb/parameters/backlight_dimmer. I just pushed an update to EX Kernel Manager that adds the setting. I will add it to the installer later, I didn't have time tonight. Too busy creating this equation: v * v * 255 / 4095 + v * (255 - v) / 32 (which is the brightness curve I wanted)

Download

ElementalX-N5X-0.08

Changes:

-build with o2 gcc optimization

-Add backlight dimmer option
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] danthepan124:
Oh boy, I just flashed .07 lol, guess I gotta keep up o_o
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] hover99:
I know you people dont like benchmarks too much.

But I did run Antutu on stock 5x and get ~45000 points and now rerun on 0.8 (default settings) and get ~41000 points.

No background tasks, disabled wifi and mobile internet and on the charger both times.

Do you know what could cause that?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] vampire36:
If I understand right backlight dimmer lowers the adaptive brightness a bit more than stock behaviour right !

Correct ?

So this can be used with adaptive brightness correct ?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] neinfricatu:
This update is great. Now, i dont have a very bright screen even if i have the brightness slider set at 10% on manual. Thank you!

---------- Post added at 01:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 PM ----------

As i can see on my 5x, the adaptive brightness behaviour is more balanced. Also, you don't have a very bright screen on manual if you set the brightness at 10-20%. This was my default behaviour, which is quite weird.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] SlyUK:
Is it possible to update to the latest version of ElementalX each time from within the EX Kernel Manager app or should one manually flash over previous build from within TWRP ?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Yes, in the navigation drawer, select ElementalX and you will be able to download the update either as a express or Aroma version. You can also get notified of new updates if you don't want to check the threads in the Settings pane (very bottom section I believe).
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] SlyUK:
Thats cool, i'm glad I asked :) Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what would be the defining factor in choosing Express over Aroma install ?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
Single benchmark scores are pointless. I sincerely hope people are not evaluating kernels this way.

There are about six million factors that can cause variations in the scores. Background tasks and thermals are the big ones.

You should do at least three runs, with cool down periods between.

I also don't optimize for benchmarks.

Choose express if you don't want to change any settings on the installers.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] till22:
Express just flashes the new kernel version keeping all your settings, aroma would guide you through the installation and lets you change settings before flashing the kernel.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Express chooses either the default settings for EX or the ones you have currently, Aroma takes you back through the custom installer and let's you choose again.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] SlyUK:
Maybe best to choose Express then :)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] stackz07:
Any recommendations for settings to squeeze some extra battery outta the device
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] imadiu:
Can anyone clarify with me what's cluster 2 under the CPU tab of the EX kernel manager app? And only cluster 2 cores can reach 1.8? Not the main cores I supposed?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] joetheshmo:
Big little cpu architecture. 4 cores are little and 2 cores (cluster 2) are big
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] szucsgf:
4 low power battery efficient cores up to 1.4GHz for most tasks, plus 2 high power cores up to 1.8GHz for demanding tasks when needed.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] parthabhatta:
I am reducing the gain of phone speaker by -15% through sound settings menu of the kernel magnet to balance it with top speaker since I use surround sound mod. I am also locking the sound settings, putting the power icon to ON (closing blue), but everyone I reboot the settings are lost. Doing something wrong or it is meant to be reset on every reboot.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
I will check it out tonight. Make sure you wait a minute after boot before checking to give it a chance to apply the setting.

I'm not familiar with this surround sound mod, I didn't know there was a top speaker. Whatever changes that could be resetting the speaker gain. The sound settings are difficult to stick on this device, it always tries to reset them to defaults, just like on the old nexus 5.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] bradhoschar:
notif. light?

Does this kernel enable notification lights? If so, how would one go about turning that on?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Which rom are you on? If you're on a custom rom with features, there's usually an included setting to adjust this. To name a few: DU, Pure Nexus, and Chroma each have included settings to tweak the LED. If you're on stock Marshmallow, then you use apps like Light Flow or Light Manager to adjust the colors on a per app basis.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] bradhoschar:
I'm on stock Nougaty goodness. Found it in system UI tuner. Thanks!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] nokiagye:
Hi the kernel won't support gamma control?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] AndroidDeveloperLB:
What would happen when I flash Google's official roms (their stock, from here, for example) ?

Would it get back to be encrypted? Would it stay decrypted? Would it fail to run?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Argeddion:
It would encrypt your data. That is basically what Force encrypt means :D
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
There is no back, it would be fresh install, everything erased (if you choose like that). After that you can do some steps to remain encrypted or decrypted.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
It supports Red, Green, Blue, Saturation, Value, Contrast and Hue adjustment
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] AG22:
I was full stock on MM. I flashed the Nougat's factory image, TWRP 3.0.4 and then root (SuperSU 2.76). For install the Ex Kernell, is it necessary to wipe something or just flash through TWRP and then i'm good? Maybe wipe Dalvik/Cache

Another question..

After flashing the Ex Kernel, can I delete the zip file?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Midomad:
Factory image for the 5x are Up!

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
just wipe Dalvik/Cache after flashing EX in TWRP. after that you can delete the zip file.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] AG22:
Thanks, i did it.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
FYI, the nougat kernel source was uploaded and is identical to preview 5. No updates necessary, use EX 3.04.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] myawan:
Yes, the kernel version that came with final release NRD90M is dated 28th June. So no changes.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Can't I prevent it? Maybe flash the vanilla, together with this kernel?

---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 PM ----------

What steps?

I want it to stay decrypted forever.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Psychofrantics:
Just flash factory images. After flashing, flash twrp, reboot bootloader. After that, reboot to twrp, before rebooting system. Than flash elementalx. You can also root after that if you want. Assuming you are decrypted atm.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] nitinvaid:
The site

http://elementalx.org/devices/nexus-5x/

is not working for me right now can some one post link for the Android N
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] MaLiXs:
Yeah the web site doesn't seem to work right now

And anyone could write me the path corect path for the gov profile because when I flash the kernel yesterday night it didn't create the folder structure

Here's flar2's AFH page, which is what his website would ultimately point us to. I'm sure flar2 will get his website on track soon.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=42810
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Nexedy:
Hello, should I flash SuperSU or ElementalX first on a device running Nougat?

EDIT: By the way, the website seems to work again.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
first TWRP, after that supersu and last but not least EX.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
The website was always up and always fast for the last two years, now in the past couple weeks it keeps becoming unresponsive. Not sure what's going on.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Nexedy:
Thank you! :good::good:

Maybe your host server is in troubles..
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Funky Friday gremlins or not, I'm just glad that you give such great support all the way around man. Sites working well now though!

I'm looking forward to trying your DP5 kernel over 7.0 when I find time tonight or tomorrow before work to set everything up.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] miksontije:
i flashed it,so far works nice with stock n. i notice only lower benchmark results with default settings than stock n(44k/52k)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
Never compare single benchmarks, there are so many things that can affect it. If you do it multiple times under ideal conditions, they will average out the same.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] enzo_cz:
Never understood why people been paying so much attention to benchmarks. The result wont be ever the same and bearing in mind there might be a lot of background processes influencing this...
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
It's mostly thermal throttling. If I do benchmarks, I usually put the phone in the frreezer to take it out of the equation.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Blueblob:
But mostly part of a device need a basic temp. And we haven't military component ? (it's just a joke)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] nokiagye:
Thanks you know why won't have this?

And if will added?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] :
hello, i think there is a problem on Android N, whenever the system boots and governor profile's apply on boot is enabled in EXKM, the big cluster settings wont be changed since it is in 'offline' state. you need to wait until the big cluster gets in 'online' state and reapply the governor profile. is there a way to fix this? :(
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
EXKM will apply the big cluster governor settings after it comes back online
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] :
i dont know but i tested it with 2 reboots, little cluster settings were applied but big cluster settings were not. im using GlassFish 1.2 profile and EXKM 2.82 if that helps. :confused:
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
I'll check again. There is a time limit after which EXKM stops checking to see if the big cluster has come back online, I think it's about 10 minutes after booting.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] :
thanks, flar2. you da best! :o ill try to look at it again! ;)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] enzo_cz:
Guys, would need some advice, please. Currerly being on HawkTail 1.2 with noop I/0 cheduler. I didn't touch anything else and just browsing. Being on N final. I have got a feeling battety goes down a bit faster than on DP5 and trying to figure out what I am doing wrong. 53℅ left and SOT 2:30. Having no Facebook, Instagram etc. Just usual stuff such as stock things WhatsApp, Hangouts etc. Sync on. On DP5 with the very same setup I could make around 3hrs SOT. Is this being just a subjective false feeling or I should tweak something else? Browsing time with Chrome 40 mins. On screen battery drain 14.78℅ whilst idle is 1.52℅.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
You know how it used to get really hot and take 10 minutes to optimize apps when installing upfates? Now Android does that in the background. Give it a few days before you draw conclusions.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] enzo_cz:
Thanks mate. Not trying to make some gimmicky conclusions nor I doubt your hard work if you felt that way. Just wanned to understand :) And thanks
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Seems to work. Thank you !

But will it go back to be encrypted if I choose a vanilla rom?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
Flash any custom kernel before boot and you are safe. You can also see the op of the rom to see if it comes with no force encrypt kernel.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] AndroidDeveloperLB:
ok nice.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] :
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION], is there a way to change the charge current when the device gets 90-99%? the default maximum charge rate for those percentages is 300mah, im thinking if it can be changed to at least 1000mah? because it takes forever to make it to 100%! thank you in advance.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Giorgos Chatziioannou:
there is a reason its that slow; unless you dont mind to unplug your phone every time it gets to 100℅ then better leave it as it is
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] myawan:
By the way, 90% to 20% is the most healthy cycle for your battery's life.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] nokiagye:
Hi i am on stock nougat after I flash the kernel I have a massive Android system battery drain, how are yours battery?

Thanks
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] hilla_killa:
The kernel is not draining your battery, so look elsewhere for rogue apps or something not the kernel unless you messed with settings, values somewhere
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] marsaltito:
After update kernel or system everything must setled to work like should ! :)

N5X CM13
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] nokiagye:
I flash years phones so I didn't messed anything

The point on my problem is I have battery drain from Android operating system with other kernels too only with the stock nougats the screen on battery stats is first.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Idk what to tell you, I'm at 20% Screen, 9% Android System, and 8% Android OS after 17 hours. I've only used 7.0 since Friday night so I haven't given much thought to battery usage yet. Maybe give it more time? Also, are reinstalling the stock boot.img in between each custom kernel flash?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] nokiagye:
Yes I reinstall the stock .i was exactly the same with you with stock kernel with others the Android system go to 15% the screen 10 and the Os 7

Anyway let's give some days thanks for the help!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] |DM|:
Yes +1, with this (but not only with this) kernel there is a lot of battery drain (Android OS as first), with stock kernel it's normal... I don't know, I didn't try with the franco kernel (that I think is based on the final kernel)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] tohtorin:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

Is it just me or bug. When installing EX from zip thru AROMA and leave io to default fiops its still noop when in android. Did android N change stock scheduler?

However then changing it to fiops from EXKM and toggle stay on boot it stays as fiops.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Psychofrantics:
Can confirm that. May be installer is not updated for N. However, EX Kernel Manager rocks
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
I've already explained this. Instead of optimizing apps for 10 minutes right after you install or upgrade, Android now does it in the background while you are using the phone.

Patience people.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
I'd prefer noop anyway as it is told to be more battery friendly because it serves I/O requests with least number of cpu cycles.

https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-best-I-O-scheduler-to-use-on-an-Android
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] |DM|:
yes but for 2 full charge?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] nokiagye:
It's a little better for me now after a full charge I still have drain by the Os but the screen is first. I have try 3 kernels and latest Franco. Let's wait.��
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] marsaltito:
Can take days to settle !! ;)

N5X CM13
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] :
hi [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION], i just bought exkm, felt so bad using a pirated version :rolleyes: anyway, used pirated version for only 1 week since my 5x is just 2 weeks with me hehe also, thank you for the great kernel :o
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
Thanks. Too many people pirate my apps.

You should never use pirated APKs, especially for an app that you are going to grant root access. When they modify the app, they can put anything in there.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] jerbear294:
This.

The instant I saw that ElementalX had a kernel manager, I bought it not only as a more supported alternative to Kernel Adiutor but also to directly support development of the kernel. Plus, it's a very reasonable price.

If I didn't have the money I'd live with Kernel Adiutor instead of pirating the kernel manager.

On that note- do you have a figure on how many of the kernel manager installs are pirated?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
I don't use any tracking in my apps, so I have no idea. I just know that every release gets cracked right away and lots of users tell me they've pirated it and then later bought it.

Kernel Adiutor is basically paid now, unless you want tons of ads. It's really not sustainable to have a completely free app like this. Way too much work.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Smultie:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] , any thoughts about the noop vs fiops debate?
