"Kernel Adiutor" allows you to turn off individual CPUs. Just uncheck the CPU # and set it to apply on boot.

Can you elaborate? The color tunings can be saved as profiles
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
Ghostpepper works better concerning battery life and is very smooth, too. :)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] suku_patel_22:
Depends from person to person. There hasn't been much different (<15 mins) for me. To top it all I hate the micro stutters in ghost pepper. YMMV
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] roofrider:
Not quite sure what can be done to fix it, or if it is even an actual bug. I wonder if everyone else experiences this, irrespective of the ROM.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] olivercervera:
I made the final test. At work luckily I can get any device I want, and I have replicated the issue with a completely original and locked Nexus 5X.

I have replicated the issue with that device, collected the bugreport and updated the AOSP ticket that you can find here. There's a little analysis of the logs, too.

So, sorry of the OT.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] roofrider:
Excellent! Hope something fruitful comes out of it.

When I use ElemX to update to a new version, i.e 1.12 to 1.13, 1.14, my N5X gets stuck at the "dead" android with the red triangle. I have to then manually flash the update via TWRP for it to take. Any ideas?

Stock ROM MTC19T, kernel 3.10.73, running EX Kernel manager, Surround Sound mod, Tulsadiver Navbar icons mod, Camera X with EIS
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] joetheshmo:
Sounds like you have stock recovery when it tries to auto update. How do you boot into twrp?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] racelaj:
That's right I do. I use adb + fastboot on my Mac to get to TWRP. Incidentally, I just dowloaded and used Flashfire to update to 1.14 and it worked flawlessly so I can now go that route instead...
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] joetheshmo:
Oh interesting. If you fastboot flash recovery <twrp IMG> you'll be able to use the exkm updater hehe, but it sounds like you are able to achieve the same result anyways :good:

I have this issue, I don't know if it's kernel related...

If I reboot phone while it is hot, my ringtones and notifications settings are lost, both in settings and in apps.

They are replaced by a number. Sometimes, when trying to change them, I can select only the Android notifications, not the one in ringtone/notifications folders...:eek:

Could someone explain which would be the differences between the eas version and the butterfly profile in normal version? What would a user experience in action?

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] suku_patel_22:
EAS versin stands for energy aware scheduling and is supposed to be used with the new gov3erner "sched" that is part of EAS version.

Butterfly is a governer profile for interactive governor, aimed mostly at smooth performance.

Butterfly profile can be used with either version of the kernel or any kernel for that matter on the interactive governor.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] sugarinos:
Thank you for your quick reply. Is the energy saving or the smoothness on the other hand, obvious to an everyday user?

I have found that this kernel slows down the fingerprint sensor a small amount, is this a known issue? I have tried a clean wipe but still have the issue.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
No issue for me. There's no way this kernel slows it down, the fingerprint scanner is not even a kernel thing.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] OnlineBogey:
Okay, thank you for the reply.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
I think the smoothness (well, lack of smoothness) for the EAS version is pretty obvious soon. Seems like more people have experienced sluggishness with the EAS version. We just had some recent feedback earlier in the week from someone else.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] gpvecchi:
So guys, I want a smoooooooooth phone, not interested in battery. What do you suggest? Stock, eas, butterfly? Overclock, too? Thanks;)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] joetheshmo:
Butterfly
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] dickenam:
I use the EAS version exclusively and have not observed any of lack of smoothness and/or sluggishness. Quite the opposite, in fact. I find smoothness to be on par with a lot of the governor profiles floating around, battery life too. YMMV, I suppose :good:
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
See I thought I was alone in having a good experience with the EAS version! Lol I use it for multiple weeks at a time and my phone seems to fly.

elementalx kernel manager

idk if anyone else has had this issue. for some reason whenever I have the official elementalx manager App installed, whenever my phone temp gets on the hot side something like 120 or higher my phone crashes. usually I also have my 5x plugged in and charging which the charger the 5x came with it keeps freezing and it keeps rebooting. but as soon as I either force stop the App from running or uninstall the App I never have an issue. also running pure nexus.

please help!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] mitchdickson:
Why no last_kmsg and/or log?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] fireburnppl:
will that still be available if I uninstalled the manager?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
It doesn't matter because there's absolutely no connection. You can safely reinstall exkm because it would never cause your phone to crash in that manner.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] fireburnppl:
why would it be only when the App is installed? I can download files and watch a movie on YouTube at 1080p with the App not installed but when I do have the App installed and set up with touch boost disabled and stock interactive governor settings applied and have my phone freeze and reboot. I'm just trying to see if there is something I'm missing.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] kkceo:
I have try out the latest Elemental X kernel with Stock Rom (MTC19T) on my Nexus 5X. And my phone have been randomly reboot about 10 times within 24 hrs. And I find that the Antutu pressure test can always trigger a reboot.

Does anyone experience my situation? Any suggestion?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] tom0079:
i know that running Antutu pressure test will make the device get high temp ,and high temp will make the device force reboot or shutdown. the temperture depends on your setting.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
Install with defaults: no overclock, no governor profiles, etc.

If it still reboots, do a full wipe and clean install. Make sure you have the latest vendor and bootloader images.

All two clusters sched?

Are you on two clusters on sched? I have the cluster 2 on sched and the cluster 1 on interactive and I think that is o.k.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Yes. With EAS, I run both clusters set to sched. How's your phone performing with that setup?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] dickenam:
I am with Slim, always both clusters with the sched gov.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] fireburnppl:
what is the sched gov? I'm not seeing it. am I retarded?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
its in the EAS-version of the kernel only ... so you aren't retarded :)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] fireburnppl:
good to know haha. what's up with the EAS version? I didnt see anything explaining what it's about in the OP.

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] fireburnppl:
awesome thank you for the information [emoji102] [emoji106] . when I haven't pulled an all nighter and wake up im gonna give everything a much more in depth reading and then flash the EAS version and see how much better, or worse, battery and performance has changed.

I noticed that the butterfly profile in EX app is not the 1.1 version posted in the thread. Anyone knows why?

It is version 1.1. I just went back to the thread and compared the values of 1.1 to what loads when I choose Butterfly.

Anyone using this kernel in combination with PureNexus ROM?

I have problems with battery life, not so much in stand by time, but my usage time is not so good..

Hi..which is a safe temp to limit cpu?

In ex kernel manager i read 46 as stock limit...if i am not wrong...it seems to me like a little bit too low..which temp would be good to have less throttling now that summer is coming? I always end up having the tempo at 40 degrees at least and it already start to throttle down...if i see it on the right way through ex kernel manager...

Thank you

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] khanjui:
55 is safe.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] sireangelus:
In theory the safe limit for any kind of silicon is between 65 and 70. The main problem with overheating is not the silicon but the phone. Have you tried to hold our Nexus when the CPU si over 50°? Even the glass starts to run very very hot.

The thermal limit is there so robot make the phone overheat and give discomfort to the user.

Glad it's working for you. No black magic required, I use the scientific method to optimize my kernels. I do rigorous testing and only make a change if it has a clear benefit.

Can somebody tell me, do I have to flash this kernel (zip) everytime after updating to a new nightly of cyanogenmod? I mean, I can see that there's a boot.img file inside cyanogenmod nightly zip file. So do I have to flash stock boot.img and then flash exkernel everytime after I update to a new nightly? I mean, is this the process: 1. CM nightly update> 2. fastboot flash stock kernel > flash exkernel zip ? Or I don't have to worry at all and flash the nightly only everyday? Please note, there's a boot.img file inside every nightly cyanogenmod build. Since this kernel should be flashed over stock boot.img only, what should be the right process (no data wipe)?

Assuming stock kernel is present in the boot.img from the nightly, all you need to do is flash the nightly, then ex

This kernel is working excellent, great work dev

I found the way to use tasker for enabling dt2w but haven't found about switching governor profiles or powersave mode

Is it possible?

:)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
There are intents to enable/disable power save mode (I'm at work so don't have them on hand, Google search should find them)

Gov profiles are more complex. They are a series of values entered in sysfs. You could use the scripts to use with tasker.

Mmm thank you!

Don't play with those settings unless you feel like reading through kernel code to see what they do. I don't know what they do.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] dave2775:

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
working fine here ... how do you know that the settings are wrong? also, did you cross-check with another profile? which kernel version do you use?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] dave2775:
Yes I checked profiles. Seems to save as stock but says it is Ghost Pepper. Been going on for couple weeks not sure if there was an app update then that started it for me.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
The settings save and apply on boot, it definitely works. Something might be preventing the boot settings from being applied or overwriting them (eg, other scripts or apps, Greenify, etc.)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] dave2775:
Yeh it's weird if I set to boot when adjusting profiles it sets when rebooting. It goes to stock after charging overnight and then rebooting . I'll adjust Greenery. Thanks

quick question

I'm using xtrasmooth + franco r8...

Any suggestions to flash elementalx above it? I'm trying to avoid a clean flash

I will make a nand backup :)

1. flash rom?

2. flash vendor?

3. flash elementalx?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] gpvecchi:
I had this issue; it'ss the second time, but first time I had overclock.

Phone turned off, connected to charger overnight: when I disconnected it battery was just @ 90%. I think it's a kernel thing, as during charge just kernel is involved. Or not?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Skip step 2 and you're set. Vendor only needs to be flashed on updates and to remove Vendor tweaks.

Every day EXKM reminds me that there is a new ElementelX kernel update although I've deactivated the check for updates option in EXKM. I'm currently on a different kernel and in the EXKM app I have turned off everything except for "only WiFi" in settings > updates section. I have already cleared EXKM app data with no effect.

Any ideas?

[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]: Is this an already recognized issue? Do you need some more information from me?

DT2W enabled would consume a lot of battery?

I am thinking if enabled it or no.

Thanks
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] khanjui:
I don't see any reason for using DT2W while you got fingerprint sensor.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] nathanchance:
DT2W drains battery when enabled on this device due to the way the screen and digitizer are wired. You can enable a time out so that it stops that drain after a certain amount of time by temporarily turning off the DT2W.

When the phone is lying face up on a table, it is extremely handy.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Ivixmax:
yes,but when you recieve a notification if turn on the screen with power button and push doble tap in a notification...the phone requires the ****ing pin or patron...and this is horrible
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Pollie81:
I totally agree, finger print works awesome but the need to set a pin or pattern is really killing! It ruins all the fun..
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Use Smart Lock.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Ivixmax:
Smart lock?

For?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] aamadorj:
AFAIK even when the PIN or pattern screens are shown you can use the fingerprint sensor to unlock your device. It works at my N5X.

Never mind. I think you would like not to pick your phone up to reach the fingerprint sensor in some cases. Face unlock (part of Smart Lock) can be useful in that cases.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Smart Lock and trusted devices is designed for the scenarios you both are discussing. At least in theory, DT2W wouldn't present a pin if you're at a trusted location. I don't use it but I think it's what would work for y'all.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Pollie81:
? haha, i didn't know smartlock was so advanced these days. I did look at it when it was in its early stages and back than it was kind of useless. Now it has a lot of useful options. Thanks guys for pointing that out!
