I know you didn't ask me, but if you are looking for a ROM as stable as stock with some great customizations I would recommend Twisted AOSP. Very smooth and with EX and ghostpepper profile I get great battery as well. I don't think it has an XDA thread but its available here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=54039
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] g33kt:
That's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you :D Any additional info about it?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] autry7:
It's a lightweight customizable ROM. I would say it's something along the lines of krexus or cataclysm.

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] What's your take on the kernel changes for N preview 3? Should the 3.0.1 be the goto version?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
I haven't installed preview 3 yet and the kernel sources haven't been released
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] StonerSteve420:
I've been using xTraSmooth and it's absolutely amazing. I paid the few bucks for the EX Kernel app so I get the kernel updates without having to wait for the dev to implement it. I couldn't be any happier. I have xposed installed with greenify and it brings along really good battery life. Everything works and it's been the best ROM for me.

3.01 working fine on n preview 3. Any recommendation for a governor profile which works particularly well with n?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] linqdesires:
Is there a way to force shutdown of cluster 2?

I had a strange situation, I had the second cluster shut down, I went into EXKM and found the governor of cluster 2 set to "nothing".

This is quite interesting and should be useful in scenario where you need of a lot of battery.

When I set back one of the governor I can't unset back again.

thank you
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
In EXKM, set CPU/Thermal throttling to a low Celsius temperature and cluster 2 will immediately go offline.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
for that to work, msm_thermal and core_control have to be enabled, right? and gets cluster 1 throttled, too, or does it effect cluster 2 only?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Umm, idk actually. I left those alone so msm thermal is disabled, core control is enabled. I just changed the thermal throttling temp to 30° and cluster 2 went offline right away
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] g33kt:
EXKM shows 16 temperatures. Acording to what temperature does the cpu throttle? Changing the cpu temp in the Dashboard will affect throttling? A detailed response about those temperatures would be nice.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
I'm not sure which one is the throttling temp. It's one of the middle temps that rises and falls slowly. The ones that jump quickly are CPU core temps. The temperatures are only for show, choosing a different sensor doesn't affect throttling.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] skulldreamz:
No, either I'm not explaining this right it your bit understanding it correctly. The on boot button is irrelevant right now because the touchboost is screwing with what the frequncies show on the cpu settings tab and the min frequency gets reset on each reboot. But after you do what I've explained then look at the dashboard and you'll see that the frequencies are working just fine. Also you can tap the dashboard after you have done the fix I've explained and you'll see the frequency cpu times are 100% correct. I'm not sure what else to say about this situation

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] danthepan124:
No I completely get what you mean, don't, I come from the Nexus 4 which also had the touchboost problem, but regardless of that, on boot still worked. So its not your explaining, I just come from a different device that has the same thing but on boot was still able to work. Good day

Hi I'm running vomer's stock clean core ROM rooted with super su 2.52 beta. Should I check enforcing or uncheck it? I'm kinda confused by all the selinux enforcing stuff.

Thanks!

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
Leave it checked.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] skulldreamz:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] maybe in aroma installer you could write a little description under the SElinux enforcing option, not that you should have to and i know people should do their own homework on googling what they are doing before they flash and its not your job to hold hands but the only reason I'm saying this is it might help you and the community but most importantly your thread on decreasing the questions about "should i uncheck the enforcing option or I'm getting bootloops on custom roms", just a thought...

Does the kernel sound settings stick upon reboot on ex kernel manager? I'm tempted to buy the app because the settings do not stick on kernel adiutor.

[MENTION=4542027]skulldreamz[/MENTION] In terms of using Elemental X in combo with Cataclysm:

Would you suggest running Cataclysm on its own for a week or two and then flashing Elemental X ?

or

Just flash them at the same time ?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ViRb3:
Doesn't work here. It gets reset back to 0 upon reboot even if the "Restore on boot" button is blue.

Yes, that happens to me too, and the Lock Sound Settings always says 'Not Locked', even when the Restore on Boot button is blue.

Does lowering the vibration intensity remove the annoying sound the phone makes when typing with vibration enabled? Mine sounds like a buzzing bee even with 1ms vibration using SwiftKey...
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] szucsgf:
I just played around with this: lowering vibration intensity does make the vibration quieter. For me the sound didn't go away completely except at very low vibration intensity, at which point the vibration is probably too soft to be useful.

I don't mind the stock vibration settings myself.

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Dwayne01:
Same here
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Arun Av:
On the first few posts, it is mentioned (for the alpha builds, way ago in time) that for future releases we need to flash supersu first and then flash elementalx. So someone pls confirm, 1. Flash stock kernel > 2. Flash supersu zip, 3. Flash ElementalX zip ---is this process right as of now (1.14) ?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Yes if you're using the stock rom. If not, dirty flash your rom (this installs your rom's base kernel) then flash ElementalX. If you have not flashed a custom kernel, just flash ElementalX.

Just wondering: Which governors (if any) are based on Ondemand?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Ivixmax:
screnn dimmer on improves battery life?

whats is best on or off?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] peltus:
Only if you use it indoors mostly, or set it to the absolute minimum brightness level.

The auto and minimum brightness setting on this phone is quite bright so I think most people use the dimmer to temper the screen brightness. It allows you to set a much less bright minimum level than on stock.

I think the effective battery saving for most people isn't that impressive but it really depends on how and where you use your phone.

If you're outside a lot you probably won't see much difference in battery usage. Indoors or in a dark environment you can set a much less brightness level and expect the most savings.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] aamadorj:
This page has lots of information about governors: http://androidmodguide.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html

Also that same site has plenty information about I/O schedulers, TCP algoritms and more. A very useful resource, in my opinion.

I'm curious on what you people have for swappiness value and how that's working for you.

And what's value recommended for various options such as thermal throttling, core control on/off and thermal throttling values
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] EnginEAR:
Weird

Hi,

Is anyone else experiencing bad behavior from the kernel/app?

My big cluster is non-existent, the values I put down for apply on boot don't work, everything is malfunctioning...
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Zackptg5:
If it says n/a, I'm pretty sure it means they're turned off so the phone doesn't overheat. That happens to me in every kernel app I've tried on my 5x
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
The app works perfectly fine. All values apply on boot unless something is interfering (eg: Greenify)

If the big cluster shows NA it because it's offline due to thermal driver. When the cores come back online, the settings will be available again. Please don't mess with things trying to "fix" this. It is the intended behaviour and your phone will work best if you just let it work as intended.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] EnginEAR:
No offence

Hi,

I don't have Greenify installed or anything else of that kind.

I am also not attempting to "fix" anything. As for settings applied on boot - even my speaker volume gain in Sound is resetting (and I'm pretty sure that isn't due to thermal driver).

In any case - I wasn't complaining. I was asking.

I dirty flash CM13 nightlies every day (well... every day they come out...). I do not expect everything to always work.

I just wanted to know if anyone else was experiencing the same.

Thanks for your hard work! It is appreciated.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] mitchdickson:
Are you allowing a few minutes after boot for the settings to apply before opening the app?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] darkshino:
I disable ZRam totally by setting swapiness to 0 and most efficiently disksize to 0Mb. I get much better smoothness for my overall utilisation.

I think on a device with 2GB ZRam is not so useful, even with a quite big game running it doesn't get killed if I multitask a bit.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] EnginEAR:
Yes. Also, probably my fault for not being clear on this, this isn't just a boot issue. There was no nightly build for the 31st (yesterday) so I was on the 30th build for well over 24 hours... This kind of stuff usually happens when my device is on (without rebooting) for more than a day...
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] russjr08:
Is EX by chance messing with Play Store installations for anyone?

I noticed when trying to go download apps, it'll download, and then just halt for about five minutes and then install the app (a reboot also triggers the install). I highly doubt it could be EX, but was running the CM13 Nightlies, it was fine... Then installed EX... Play Store started having issues. Thinking it was CM, I wiped and moved to PN... No problems... Then installed EX annnnnd....

I'll try restoring PN's default kernel later today, I've done enough flashing for one night :P

Edit: Of course, after I post about it, the problem stops. -_-

Hi...is it better to use msm-thermak or core control?

I read about them around... But i am not really sure about advantages of one over the other...

Thanks
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Razorless:
Do not use msm_thermal. Enable core control and set the thermal limit to 44°C. This gives the highest sustained performance.

See here for more details:

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/general/thermal-throttling-temp-performance-test-t3388559

edit: 44°C
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Synvani:
First of all thanks for all the time you put into those tests! I have just a question though - so the default setting is set to 46°C by default, that two degree change makes such a difference?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Razorless:
It does, because while using the phone, the temps rise fast but fall slowly. In other words, once your phone hits the critical temperature it will no longer be able to use the faster cores, unless it can cool down. Since the cores remain online longer and therefore increase temps and/or slow down the rate at which the phone cools down.

At 44°C the cores are almost immediatly shut off after being downclocked and set to idle mode. This actually makes more difference while using the phone at a moderate load than at a high load. Because even a short burst of performance (like loading loads of pictures at once) can cause the phone to reach the critical temp. If the big ones are offline your phone can cool down properly, so you can use the burst performance again. Even at 0.63GHz and 0% load the big cluster generates a significant amount of heat.

OMNIROM

Hello, I installed OMNIROM on my Nexus 5X and kernel version is 3.10.73-g17e7bf7 Jenkinsatdevbox2.monirom.org #1. Can I flash ElementalX on my phone?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
AFAIK, elementalx is compatible with everything
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] bntch:
Thanks for your answer!

This is the last line that I do not understand

For maximum compatibility with all ROMs, ElementalX uses your existing ramdisk.

Do NOT flash this over other custom kernels!

You should only flash ElementalX over the kernel that came with your ROM!!!

EDIT : I flashed and no problem! Thanks you very much!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] dfryer1193:
I think the point that [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] is communicating there is that as long as you haven't flashed another kernel on top of the kernel included with your ROM, you should be okay to flash ElementalX
