On N, my screen off/idle battery drain is quite high (@2.5/hour) compared to stock kernel. I never get a flat line.

Is it the same for everyone?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
No, kernel does not cause drain
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] roofrider:
Is there any way to track it kernel-wise? Disabling a particular feature that might be causing some drain? swipe2wake?

Maybe its just me, but I've always observed this. On stock kernel my screen off drain is 0.5 to 1% per hour (as per EXKM). Flash EX, and make no other change in the userspace (like apps and stuff), the drain shoots to over 2% per hour and stays well above the stock kernel drain.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
Yes, sweep2wake and dt2w cause drain on this device (and the original Nexus 5 as well)

They are disabled by default
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] nailz420:
2 cores were disabled but i didn't disable them. Will monitor to see if it happens again and provide logs.

Thanks

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] echardcore:
I am having the same issue.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
The sensor used for offlining cores is different than cpu temperature. It's the skin temperature, and can build up over time even if the CPU core temp is not too bad.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] nailz420:
I doubt this is the case as the cores remained offline on the second day after the phone had plenty of time to cool down overnight.

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] mykenyc:
The cores being offline has been a problem since day one and it is looking more likely the apps aren't reading the cores right, but they are indeed active.

Very slow charging when the screen is on with stock kernel, EX, and more...

But fast charging with jolla kernel.

What's the difference between jolla and others?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] khanjui:
Better to ask in his thread.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
Are you on Android N? If so, most apps can't read the big cluster status without root. Sometimes it works, but sometimes the selinux context changes and they can't read it without root access.

There is absolutely no difference between elementalx, stock and Jolla with charging. The charge rate is affected by many factors, I don't touch it. It is working how the manufacturer designed it.

I don't know why people become hypercritical about every little thing after they install a kernel. This isn't one of those kernels that makes a bunch of unnecessary changes and breaks stuff. People need to stop blaming every little niggle on the kernel. This kernel (as all my kernels) works exactly as it should. I would not release a kernel with a regression from stock.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Giorgos Chatziioannou:
Maybe changes the temp limits? I have done it and i get fast charge with any kernel

Oh?your cpu and battery temperature are so low.Now?my cpu and battery temperature are about 40 :crying: . Because surroundings temperature is 32? I just browse the xda. How to setup this kernel?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] dawn&dusk:
Who can tell me how to setup this kernel to reduce the battery temp and cpu temp??Especially the battery ) Now,my phone is so hot . Please look at the picture.:(
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] mykenyc:
The problem is most people don't have a clue of what a kernel does in general or what certain terminology mean. They might be on r/android and some guy tell them "flash xyz kernel i got better battery" and they end up here, I'm not knocking r/android because I'm on it a lot, but XDA is like poison to them, they have this weird pride (not all mind you) that developers have to be top notch nice guys and answer every single question that a Google search can answer. Honest, i can say at some points i had lazy moments and asked questions i could have read, not that you need to or you should, but in your first post i would say bold this/increase the font "ElementalX is like the stock kernel by default, but allows you to change almost anything you want." and maybe add a small detail saying you don't change anything critical in the kernel it is essentially stock, in your first post you're saying this essential, but some people need it spelled out sadly. I'm just saying it, because i know it can be a pain in the ass to answer the same question over and over, btw glad i came back this kernel it's smooth as hell.

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] mykenyc:
Could be a rogue app, what ROM are you using? I can see you underclocked so it's obviously something else if it is "too hot" for you.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] dawn&dusk:
Google Stock rom 6.0.1 . The picture shows daily situation .I don 't know why it is so hot . Maybe it's in summer.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] mykenyc:
Could be that, a rogue app, the fact your Wifi have an exclamation mark it could be trying to find a better signal. If you don't have a case, I'd advise getting one, so you don't notice the heat it outputs, my phone gets hot when charging also and i have yet to damage it in any kind of way.

[edit] Also that heat isn't bad here's another thread on a different phone talking about temps: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...-galaxy-s7-edge-optimal-temperature-heat.html

Already having NTFS and exFAT, how far off the track am I, asking for FAT support?

I see myself faced with a device I have to/would like to manage on the go using an OTG adaptor. The device is recognized but fails to fully mount, it seems the device accepts FAT format only. Fileformat support is in the kernel, so I figured I may ask for it here.

A word about that QuadRooter Vulnerability.

The last elementalx is patched or do we need to wait for september security update?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] lexcyn:
I ran a vulnerability check and it came back as vulnerable to 2 variants... but I'm assuming this is just based off of the DP5 kernel source.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] will merge it when he finds some time. Do you really think that "vulnerability" is the issue here considering rooted phones and unlocked bootloaders? ;)

THat is exactly what I thought was happening. But I didn't know how to tell. How were you able to tell that your data had become encrypted?

Hello, just a little question, I have installed a CM13 nightly ROM, and I have the default Kernel of CM13?

Do you think I can now flash this Kernel, or what do I need to perform a clean flash?

Sorry this is my first time with a kernel.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
If you use the kernel that came with your CM13-ROM, just flash EX right away on top.

Thank you, I really thought it would have been harder.????

Hi, i'm currently in dp5 with ex kernel. I know that if want to change your kernel you have to reflash the room, but i cant do that since dp5 is system image. Can i change the kernel w/o clean start?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] jay661972:
You can flash all factory img except userdata.img

Thats what im been doing to bounce back from EX to Stock kernel, also running DP5
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] reyfista11:
All of my apps and sdcard will intact right?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] jay661972:
Yup been doing all the time. Skip userdata.img

As long you stay to DP5 but if you plan to go back to MM then you need to MM img's and start clean.

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] reyfista11:
Ok thanks

Btw is it normal that my cpu temp in exkm show above 45 C always? Or often pas 50 C.

What can i do to lower the temp? I tried ghost pepper with touchboost disabled it's still hot.

And when i played pokemon go for about 5 mnt, my phone throttling very hard that max little core cpu is 960 MHz
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
It's normal. The app shows CPU core temperature, which can reach 100
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] schaggo:
Seems it doesn't want to mount the device. Don't know how or why. It recognizes an attached storage device, but offers me to format instead of to mount and show it's contents. According to the developer it's no wizardry they're doing, it's plain old FAT16.

Would you be willing to help me to debug this issue? If yes, what logs should I provide and what should I do while capturing the logs?

Others report a success in accessing the device, this pal for example in July using a Galaxy S5: https://www.operator-1.com/index.php?p=/discussion/comment/31848/#Comment_31848

Security is very important, but just be sensible and don't install cracked/pirated apks and other strange files.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] schaggo:
Did the trick. Thanks.

Figured it should get mounted anyway, as it was mounted by android itself after I chose to format it (but which made the device crash).

You have performance and power save widgets. Tune them according to your needs and that's it;)

No, he certainly means the ability to swtich between profiles like ghostpepper, butterfly, darkspice, etc. without opening the app, which is actually a really good idea.

Wake gesture consistency

Hello all,

I am using this kernel for the wake gestures which generally works fine on my nexus 5x running Pure Nexus with Xposed.

My question is about the double tap to wake. Sometimes a light double tap will wake the screen but if I leave it 5 or 10 minutes it takes two or three attempts or a much harder tap is needed.

Is this a settings issue or a screen timeout issue? I have the kernel settings at their default.

Thanks
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
Sometimes the first tap is not registered. Sweep2wake up is a much better gesture. That's what I use.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Tech_Savvy:
do you get higher than normal battery drain when enable wake gestures? my old g2 had dttw and i hardly noticed extra standby drain but with 5x i find a significant difference... does swipe help or or is still the same portion of the digitizer used?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
This device has drain. Doesn't matter what portion of the screen, it's either on or off. The panel has to recieve power or the touch is not registered.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] jsauder2:
You could do this with Tasker. Just set up a task that sets all the variables for a specific profile and then create a shortcut for that task.

All the profiles are in the ElementalX folder on your sdcard. I think you'd just have to make each line an echo command. Don't edit those actual files, just copy them somewhere else and edit the copies.

I won't have time today, but may be able to set this up sometime over the next week and share the Tasker tasks. Obviously not as good as an integrated widget, but it would do the job.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] manpildo:
Thanks, but I lack knowledge and am too lazy to do it, so I'll just stick to one profile and try not to think about (GhostPepper's behaviour drives me nuts with its constant juggling between frequencies when idling, it can't be good for battery, but whatever).
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
try DarkSpice5XR7.5 that comes with the EXKM app, its very good for battery life and stable low-frequencies.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] manpildo:
Nope, every other governor profile makes earphone audio crackle when listening to music coupled with Viper and Atmos. The fact that ghostpepper is tuned towards performance is keeping me afloat, but such limitation in N5X caught me by unpleasant surprise because never have I had problems with the same setup on my old N4 and Galaxy S4 (the latter with superior audio quality also).. go figure.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] RinoFxx:

Is the "usb fast charge" feature incompatible with type c? Just to clarify I'm referring to being able to charge faster when plugged into the computer.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
You will receive "rapid charging" if the charging rate is 2.4A or higher (3A max). Proper USB A to C cables that pull the proper current should charge the phone at a max of 2.4A. That's according to Benson Leung from Google's Nexus team. You will likely obtain far less than that rate out of a computer USB port. The charging rate depends on the device providing power, the cable (some A to C cables draw higher power than they should), and also the phone's charge level. Type C to C should be charging at 3A for this phone. This kernel does not enable USB rapid charging, it's left as default by El Goog.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] revamper:
I'm well aware of what rapid charing is. That's not what I asked about...

USB fastcharge is a kernel feature which all of my previous phones had available.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2705613

You can see here it's available on other devices. ("optional USB fastcharge" in the feature list) I am just curious why it hasn't made it to the nexus 5x. If anyone has any insight please let me know.
