Having some Wi-Fi issues on 5.03 for Oreo. I understand this is all very new, so I'm not complaining, just reporting a bug.

Had stock 8.0 installed for a few days with no issues and then upon flashing the Oreo kernel I lost the ability to connect to any Wi-Fi networks. I've tried with my home network, a friends, and my work network. I get the message "Failed to save network" followed quickly by another toast reading "Failed to connect to network".

Have tried resetting network settings, reboots, and airplane mode toggles. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi guys,

I'm on LineageOS and I have to say, the kernel works fine, offering the power needed and saved my 5x from being binned. Just one big thing: I'm a DriveDroid user using iso files to get past carrying tons of CDs with me. Sadly it looks like there is no ISO support available - As far as I know it's a kernel issue. (USB Gadget patch?) Any way to get round this?

Cheers

Rei
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flocke000:
Hello Rei,

DriveDroid should work with ElementalX, at least I remember using it in the past.

I will check again later today when I get home.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] cb5264:
Hi Flocke,

it works using img files, but it lacks ISO support which makes it a struggle to build usb stick images from ISO files instead of just replacing the ISO...

No Idea try to restore it or reflash Android O because im on Android Oreo and i have the 5.03 and doesn't have this issue
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flocke000:
Ahhh, right ... I remember something like this. I only used it for Arch Linux images, which are hybrid images.

Hello,

Everyday day my N5x randomly reboots.

Here is last row of logcat: https://pastebin.com/7SQQ5GC2

I don't know if is kernel or rom related. I flashed lineageos 14.1

Thanks

For me it's my digital CD case holding 2 stacks of CDs.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Gh3ttoKiLL4:
Had this issue too. I figured out that if CPU is overclocked, my phone randomly reboots. Check your clock speeds (1440 for LITTLE cluster / 1824 for big cluster are stock values), maybe that's the problem. And don't forget to set at boot, I was thinking that I fixed the problem, but got another reboots as it got resetted.

I've already tried, I've tried underclock too but I have reboots.

Got it, that's fine by me. Just wanted to make sure I didn't have something causing interference. Appreciate your reply, man.

Exkm is losing custom settings after reboot.

in particular I'm trying to apply these settings http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64279960&postcount=2

thank you
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
I think the phone is resetting them, the governor settings are adjusted by the system. Android and interactive work together. I'll look into it.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Smultie:
FYI, Kernel Adiutor is able to save the settings after a reboot, so it should be possible.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] olivercervera:
Hi Flar2,

Thanks a lot for this kernel. I have been running the 1.01 on my new Nexus 5X for few days, great performance so far.

I have a question I hope it's not so stupid.

During the installer, it is still said that Double tap to wake (dt2w) does drain the battery. I thought that since Snap801 this feature was natively built into the kernel, without draining, and enabled at OEM decision.

Is this wrong? If yes, why virtually any device (except Samsung and Nexus) with Snapdragon 801 and newer have this feature without any apparent drain?

I know, there's a fingerprint scanner to wake the device, and I use it. Mine is just curiosity.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
The problem is the touch sensor receives no power unless the regulator for the LCD panel is on.

I've implemented wake gestures on many devices, and only this phone and the nexus 5 have this problem.

On some devices, a coprocessor is used to handle gestures, but that wouldn't help in this case, because the touchscreen still needs to sense touch. HTC uses that coprocessor, and it actually does use a bit of battery, more than the way I normally implement gestures.

I updated from rooted stock 6.0 to stock 6.0.1 using the modified boot image from this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64203101&postcount=265

Booted up to 6.0.1 rooted on supersu2.52 without issues.

Next, followed OP instructions, flash supersu 2.61 and then EX kernel 1.0.2, wiped cache/dalvik, now stuck in bootloop.

Went back to recovery and reflash EXK 1.0.2, unchecked enforcing, wipe cache/dalvik, still in a bootloop, where did i go wrong?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] dfryer1193:
You no longer need a modified boot image, SuperSU 2.62 takes care of patching the boot image for you. Try fastboot flashing the boot image from Google's 6.0.1 image.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
You shouldn't have flashed SuperSU 2.61 if you had already had 2.52
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] DroidFanJL:
If your stock ROM is already rooted then you may be having trouble because of flashing supersu 2.61 (I did this by mistake on a custom rom that was rooted and got into a boot loop. I did the following to fix.). To fix you can

1. reflash stock rom dirty no wipes

2. flash EX kernal

3. Check to see if you have root once it boots - first boot takes awhile
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] queerquirks:
Thanks, shall try that. So, just flash boot.img, supersu 2.62, Ex kernal, reboot?

Yep, I totally missed that. I thought 2.61 was a prerequisite for EX 1.0.2.

I am in process of restoring nandroid, was doing it while waiting for replies, didnt expect the replies to be this fast. Should I just flash Ex 1.0.2 over the nandroid then, since its already rooted with supersu 2.52

Stock rom meaning just the boot.img or the other stuff too ( vendor, system, )?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] dfryer1193:
You'll only need to flash vendor, etc. if you're not successfully booting 6.0.1. You can flash them just to be safe, it shouldn't make a difference.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] parthabhatta:
In EXKM adjusting the headphone slider also changes the output from top speaker. Setting headphone gain at -30 the quality through earphones are smooth and distortion free but sound from top speaker stops. Can it be kernel related?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] dg4prez:
Looking forward to being able to use ex for those governor settings. Setting it each time will be a pita. For now in staying stock anyway since they were giving me a lot of delay with things like turning off the screen when it was on but not being interacted with, like in my car. Didn't notice any magical boost in battery life either.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Puzzlegirl:
I think you must be referring to the fact that you have modified your phone with that surround sound mod? I don't know much about it so can't help. I just know that my sound adjustments appear to work correctly.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Hopefully, these screenshots aren't blown up in your thread flar2. I'll remove them if they are. I had the day off from work and reached 6 hours screen on with stock rooted. Previously, my high on complete stock was 4.5 to 5 hours. Only kernel tweaks I made were to disable touchboost on boot, and to enable Sweep to Sleep and also brightness dimmer (with adaptive brightness on). Roughly the first hour was at the lowest brightness as I read up on systemless SuperSU late last night. The gaps you'll see are due to my flashing the systemless zip that Adaway requires and rebooting a few times to make sure it persisted. Gotta admit, you're good at this bro. Thanks for the quality work.

Edit: Btw, GPS was off, so were both scanning options. I always turn off wifi at night, forgot to last night, so that's why doze did not kick in. Might have caught 6.5 hours had I turned off wifi overnight and got my usually excellent Doze of 1-3% battery loss on this kernel.

Hmm is it only me or something? after the update the elementalx app couldn't acquire root.. It keeps on saying acquiring root until timeout.

Edit: nevermind. I uninstalled both the elementalx app and supersu, rebooted, and reinstalled both, then it works well now.

7.1.2, changing ZRAM size issues:

1. Shows the "Resizing... XXX/XXX" countdown but the size remains the same after it's finished and ZRAM becomes "disabled"

2. Stops resizing once the phone goes to sleep. Have to keep the phone awake to keep it running.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
ZRAM is really not meant to be changed on the fly. It can take quite a long time to flush out the memory. If you want to change it, best to reboot and do it soon after boot before it starts storing many MBs. If you do it on the fly, you need to wait for it to complete before exiting the app.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] nailz420:
Fine, but this is not obvious. I would expect this process to prevent the phone from going to sleep until finished, or at least warn the user that they need to keep the phone awake. What about the first point about ZRAM resize not taking effect?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
Ok, I'll put a warning dialog to wait for it to finish. It can take 5 or 10 minutes.

To change disk size or compression, the entire zram has to be flushed, then the setting can be changed. These are totally not meant to be changed after the system is up and running and using memory. They are advanced settings.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] cb5264:
What about a reboot to play on the safe side? Something like "want to reboot now to apply the new settings?"

Just my 0.02$
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
That might work better
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Wawax:
Hello is that someone would be patient enough to explain to me what is ZRAM please

Sorry for my bad english
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] buffer overflow:
Zram is swap in RAM. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zram?wprov=sfla1
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Wawax:
Ok so ZRAM is for improve the performance of the device but does he have an impact on the battery life ?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] buffer overflow:
Depending how big is zRam. By default in this kernel and stock for Nexus 5X, is 512 mb. I think is enough but I use this value (256). Battery life...!? I tested with zRam off and on but i don't see something WOW.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Wawax:
Okay thanks for your advice and help thanks you
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] batwingnz:
Ex kernel manager for me shows 509MB. Did you mean you're using 768 as a value?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] buffer overflow:
I was wrong what I wrote. 256mb is value and 20 swappiness.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] linqdesires:
I'm on Oreo and succeeded changing zram on the fly.

with the latest version of exkm released I lost the I/O scheduler. I can't choose any scheduler but "none"

mmh maybe I'm messing with "external"

The sched thing is a bug

I improved zram changing recently
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flocke000:
I just found the time to look at the DriveDroid thread, there is only one patch required for it to work. But I don't know if it still works with current kernels, the patch is 4 years old.

It is this one: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/46bd47757a9f34c1d95dd2620414893212fb0526

This would be up to [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] to decide if he wants to implement this.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] cb5264:
I run a quick string search on the sources. It's already implemented. Guess there's something else which doesn't work as it's expected by DriveDroid
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flocke000:
Yeah, I just checked my device and the cdrom entry in sysfs is present. So the patch seems to work ...
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:

Been running just fine on my late August update based DU build. Only bad thing is I had to reboot my phone for the first time in nearly three weeks to install this new kernel update.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] nailz420:
KSM sleep milliseconds doesn't stick, at least not past reboot
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] :
Thanks for still updating the kernel for our N5X, but any chance we'll see an updated kernel for Oreo with the September patches too?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Lossyx:
I think the orea source release already included September patches.

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] :
They released new factory images for Oreo two days ago, which patch the BlueBorne exploit and include a new kernel.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
There weren't any new kernel commits
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] CazeW:
Wonder why they haven't committed the Blueborne patch as that is obviously fixed in the latest kernel.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
Maybe it was patched on the system side.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] CazeW:
You seem to be right. Installed 5.03 to test and the Blueborne app still says that the phone is protected.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] MaxDim:
So i can use the 5.03 on the latest OTA?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] zurik:
Yes
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] gerstlauer:
Anybody know if this "frequencies and cores are controlled by system processes" is normal, and if not, what may be causing it? Stock O ROM, flashed over stock kernel. Have tried reflashing kernel, clearing app data etc. Thanks.

will this work on custom rom builds from august ? because previously i had issues with running background processes all have 0 mb so i ask :)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] :
I understand. I'll go ahead and flash 5.03 then :) I just thought it was new because the kernel version date and boot.img checksums were different between OPR6.170623.013 and OPR4.170623.006.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Vink67:
Don't ask for ETA but hope have a new Oreo soon....

:good:
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] yochananmarqos:
So you'll just be passive-aggressive instead? There already is a kernel for Oreo.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Vink67:
Passive agressive, you have time to wast or what.....

You are agressive kid.

Just ask for news, I know there already Oreo kernel...
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
5.03 is the release for Oreo
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] yochananmarqos:
The news is there weren't any new kernel commits in the September OTA as flar2 already mentioned a couple pages back.

I don't think you understand what passive-aggressive means. Stating you hope for a new kernel soon is exactly the same as asking for an ETA. It's against the forum rules, it's rude and puts unneeded pressure on the developer.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Vink67:
I'm French so I take passive agressive for agression. And I just ask for news and I know it's against rules. But i like the kernel so it's human nature for hoping news....

I'm running stock android o with 5.03 version and when i try to enable hotspot wi-fi it says "Error". It worked before flashing the kernel, could it be a bug?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] gobak:
Please, is there any way to disable charging LED on O with this kernel? I can't override it with Lightflow, it still burns my eyes out.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] yochananmarqos:
There is no charging LED on the 5X.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] gobak:
O'rly?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] yochananmarqos:
You must be using a custom ROM or mod to enable it as it's not present in the stock ROM.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] gobak:
You mean a hardware (LED) is not present in a software? Anyway thanks for replies which don't solve anything.

So again: please is there a way to disable charging LED light somehow with Elemental X? Franco kernel and I think Jolla have this setting in Aroma or in app. I tried to add an init.d script but it doesn’t work either. The rom is stock rooted Oreo.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] yochananmarqos:
Of course the hardware LED exists, but it does not come on when charging by default. However you enabled it to begin with will be the way to disable it. I've never used Jolla, but Franco kernel definitely does not have an option.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Vink67:
I don't even know is a light here !!

I'm on stock Oreo ROM with ElementalX.

What custom ROM are you using thx
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] gerstlauer:
It is present. Turn it on in notification settings.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] yochananmarqos:
The only option that is there is Pulse notification light (Marshmallow/ Nougat) / Blink light (Oreo). This has nothing to do with enabling the LED while charging.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Phalanx7621:
[MENTION=2742137]gobak[/MENTION] I can tell you I use Purenexus ROM and there is a setting within Purenexus settings to disable LED charging. It's a great ROM if you haven't tried it
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] eddi0:
Noob questions: 1) if I change from one profile to another (i.e. Darkspice to Ghostpepper) do I need to wipe cache/dalvik cache after changing the profile?

2) Governor setting seems to stay at interactive, is there a reason for this? Any benefits to the others or reasons why I shouldn't use the others?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] joetheshmo:
1) no

2) because most profiles are for the interactive governor

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] hilla_killa:
They both have performance governors on exkm.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
Set adreno post on the graphics page and maybe increase the min CPU frequency or input boost if there are lags in certain parts of the game.

Do not use performance governor, it just runs at max freq and will cause thermal throttling.
