My 5X is broken, but I'll test again on my 6P, which is very similar
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] milouk:
I can confirm that Zram size does NOT apply on boot.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
Thanks. And I guess other users from this thread could test it as well on bullhead.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] linqdesires:
I'm having reboot issues on my N5X.

Plain stock is working ok, while the stock+twrp3.2.1+magisk+elementalx configuration is causing reboot.

I'm not able to catch any log because after reboot I have a 0KB last_kmsg file.

Now I'm on plain stock let's see what happens. I don't know what to blame :D
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
I tested this and it does apply on boot, but there needs to be a delay because the system applies its settings around the same time. Change the apply on boot delay to 45 seconds. I will add a longer delay just in case.

You also need to make sure you don't click the apply on boot toggle until zram is fully flushed out and the size is changed. You will see in EXKM if you pull down to refresh the memory screen, that while it is flushing out the zram, it will say "stopping..." and the size of zram will gradually decrease until it is zero. Then the new setting will be applied, and you can tap the apply on boot toggle to lock in the setting.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] milouk:
Well, i set the delay to 45 secs but after a reboot the zram size changed back to 508 MB instead of the 768 which i chose. Morever i do know that it needs some time to flush out the occupied zram memory and i press apply on boot after the new size has been set.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
I think it just needs a longer delay.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] milouk:
Makes sense..1 minute delay would be enough i guess
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
I will set more time delay, but I have to point out that it used to work some verions ago, maybe a month or so I can't really say and I habe never have to set so much of delay, it was always 5-10 secs or default.

Reporting back...

All but zRam size applied after boot. Set to max 45 secs.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
I've tested zram boot settings on several devices and it is trying to change it. A longer delay will probably solve the problem. There is nothing else I can do, it definitely tries to apply the setting, but if the system is also trying to set it around the same time, one or the other will fail.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] milouk:
Unfortuantely version 3.54 does not fix the set RAM Size on boot issue even with 90 seconds Delay. What is very interesting though is that Kernel Adiutor does set the RAM on boot as it should so there is a way this could be done.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
Are you sure that Kernel Adiutor is actually setting ZRAM? Last time I looked at it, it reported changes but didn't actually do anything.

I also added a further 20 second delay in the zram service.

If 3.54 doesn't work, I'm afraid I can't help you. I have 27 phones sitting here and zram/zswap settings work fine on all of the ones that use zram. I spent two hours repeatedly changing zram settings and rebooting and it worked every time without fail.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] milouk:
Yes Kernel Adiutor does indeed change Ram Size. I changed it to 1030 MB and i got 1030 MB before and after a reboot. Morever EXKM also shows the changed Ram Size after a reboot (1030 MB)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
Do you have anything that kills or prevents services? That's the only explanation I can think of. I put the zram changes in an intent service to run in background.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
I digged out the version 3.43 of the app and tested it so you could take a look and see what is different. Apply on boot works for zram size, 3 seconds delay...

With latest version even changing from the app didn't go unless reapeated set and then it started it.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] milouk:
Not at All. Also as mentioned above on EXKM v3.43 Zram Size changed on Boot as it should.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
Just to report. The latest 3.57 app, still zram set on boot not working.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] BS86:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]: The zRAM apply on boot is broken for quite some time. I used the script from post https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75171674&postcount=4922 in the script manager of your app back in January.

That was the only way to get zRAM applied on boot.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] :
Everything is applying on boot just fine for me after this latest EXKM update. (3.57) (Nexus 5X)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
The script works great. Thanks
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Sushi3110:
I did that, too. But with version 6.06 it is stuck on Logo. It worked before. I'm on latest "Android Open Source illusion Project". Don't know what changed but with the 6.05 Kernel and the previous build it worked using the AK injector.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
Note: I have installed 3.58 just for test and it does apply zram size on boot.

EDIT: Actually, it was the lite mod of app I took somewhere for test, and then I uninstalled it and installed latest 3.59 from store and it does not apply zram size. Hint is there in lite mod of the app. If you need I can send it to you mail, pm me [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Sinfamy:
If I flashed the boot.img which disables the 2 big cores, would it be a smart or dumb idea to overclock the smaller 4 cores to ~1600MHz to make up for the performance loss?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] :
A smart, there are no risks, you can also try sphinx kernel that is offering overclocking up to 1747Mhz without any risks (we are some to have tested and there are no problems at all).
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Lughnasadh:
Depends. If you have the BLOD, its probably not a good idea. Many people have reported their little cores failing so you would want to keep those as cool as you can.

If you don't have the BLOD, then its no problem.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] :
Thanks a lot for correcting me, I didn't looked a lot to blod now as I'm scared lol so I wasn't aware of this.

But by failing do you mean crash or totally dead?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Lughnasadh:
Once you get the BLOD on the big cores, its only a matter of time that it will hit your little cores as well. Once that happens then your phone becomes an expensive paperweight. That's why I suggested that if you do get it to not overclock in hopes of longevity over speed.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] :
Hum OK that's why all devs that got it stopped all development, that's sad that it's happening on a good quality device but are all our devices doomed to get it?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Lughnasadh:
Yeah, a lot of developers got it. But no, not all devices will get it. My Bullhead hasn't but my Angler has. Hit or miss thing it seems.

Edit: About 2 weeks after this post my Bullhead got the BLOD and is dead, lol.

Can I flash this over zest kernel?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
Don't.

Instead learn how to properly switch between different kernels.

1. Extract boot.img from the flashable zip of the rom that you have

2. Flash the boot.img as image file via TWRP

3. If you have been rooted, flash your root method¹

4. Flash kernel

In that way you don't need to flash your rom and gapps but you can also do like to...

1. Flash rom

2. Gapps

3. Root¹

4. Kernel

¹ In both scenarios if you not rooting you can skip this step 3

Just got this phone as my backup and I have flashed Lineage OS 15.1 with gapps and SuperSU root. I just flashed this kernel with EX Kernel Manager. Should I modify any settings? I am looking for good performance but also really want battery life maximized.

I did select elementalx for the CPU governor.

Does anybody know if it's possible to lower the thermal throttling threshold with ElementalX Kernel Manager?

I tried to search but will the wake gestures app allow you to use double tap without buying the application? Or is the wake gestures app for taking wake gestures further.

I just read an article on the creator (great read btw) on gadget hacks. Never heard of button remapper but its a pretty neat app. Any who, I wanted to test the double tap to wake since I love it on my lg phones but don't want to spend $$ when I don't plan to nor know how to do all the other tweaks and things.

*disclaimer*

I love to support the dev community so this is not about being cheap but I am intentional with how I spend my money with regard to my own value system.

I am running LOS and EX with no issues.

You are probably running into the early stages of the bootloop of death.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] rocketrazr1999:
After installing what kernel. The 4-cores mod to fix the BLOD? Or some other custom kernel? I'm not sure where you are coming from, but you can just try to wipe everything and reflash LOS 15.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] chopoLet:
I flash the latest imgs first and then freshly installed LOS 15.1 latest version, latest gapps, I let it boot up and set up a lil app there. I installed magisk afterward then EX. It did actually boot to my home screen then after many seconds my phone freezes then reboots itself repeatedly.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] rocketrazr1999:
Uh-oh. I am assuming you know about the BLOD right? Sounds possible you cooked the Big core by overheating the soldering. If by some chance you have NOT ever heard of the N5X's BLOD, then you will definitely want to familiarize yourself IMMEDIATELY. The BLOD also affects the LGG4, Nexus 6, and all other phones with the same SOC with two ARM Cortex-A57 cores (big), and four ARM Cortex-A53 cores, (LITTLE). The big cores get shorted or overheated or something noone is sure of. Temporary remedies are to freeze it or heat it up with a hairdryer, but you don't need to do that since you've already unlocked the BOOTLOADER. Here's the XDA link to the 4-Cores mod to disable the big cores, which allows the phone to boot without them. Try flashing the correct mod (depends on what Android version you got) and see if it stops the bootlooping. I honestly think you should retry flashing everything, especially the EX image. When you said you flashed EX kernel, you not saying it is the 4-Core mod are you? If you are then cancel everything I just said and wipe your boot partition and reflash that and don't flash EX again. I hope you get it sorted, but personally? I would get the LGG5 as a temporary solution until you decide a permanent one.

---------- Post added at 01:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 AM ----------

WAIT!!!!! I just read Aaron's reply to your Intial Post!!! You flashed EX Kernel (Aaron's kernel!!!!) after you flashed LOS 15.1!!! You CAN'T use a custom ROM with EX. His instructions explicitly warn that you MUST flash EX over a clean, stock kernel and you have LOS flashed already! You gotta just NOT use Elemental X!!! And that's it buddy. SMH, I feel so stupid, I violated rule #1... Read everything first! And then....read it AGAIN if you run into a problem!!! Somebody hit me.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] chopoLet:
Thanks for the info, I had fix btw. I already wiped everything and flashed another custom rom. And probably if I install LOS 15.1 again I may stick with its stock kernel and flash the images again. :)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] rocketrazr1999:
In my opinion, LOS is the best ROM, although I'm using Resurrection Remix, which is based on LOS 15.1. It's a great ROM for my LGG5, basically turned my LGG5 into a Pixel 2 with lots of customizations, like the blacked out mod, which I just can't live without, lol.

Agree. Tried "Advanced Interactive Governor Tweaks...". Probably, randomly typing values into the cpu section of EX Kernel Manager just as effective.

I was not clear. Using the tweaks made my battery life much worse than stock elementalx. 8% drain in 3 hrs doing basically nothing.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] largeselection:
I actually am using that "Advanced Interactive Governor Tweaks..." with this and I definitely noticed a significant improvement in battery life. Definitely suffers a little when it comes to playing a game or something, but apparently that's to be expected with the settings and it's not a dealbreaker. I think those tweaks will work for some and not for others depending on how you use your device, what you have installed, etc. I use mine similarly to the OP for those tweaks so I think that is why I have noticed an improvement.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] nickvp:
Are you guys referring to a post by OP that explained his settings/how he uses his phone?

Where in the settings is "Advanced Interactive Governor Tweaks" - If I go to CPU, "governor" is already set to interactive. If I go to "settings", then "advanced settings" under power and performance, then "CPU governor" is set to ondemand.
