gboost will show up automatically in the app if it is available.

It is not present on all versions of the elementalx governor
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Fille84:
I don't really get this about thermal throttle. I have in the elemental app set the thermal throttle to 50 but still the phone starts to lag because the big cluster is limited to 633MHz when the temperature reaches only 30-31C. And this temperature is reached only after like 3-4 minutes of playing a game like Subway Surfers.

hi [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

Would it be possible, in EXKM, to make the percentage Powersave mode activates at configurable? Right now, it seems the only time it comes on is 20% or below. Say I wanted to configure it to come on at 25%, is this doable?

Thanks!!!

Has anyone increased the speaker and headphone audio on their 5x? If so, how much gain do you have for it to be stable?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
I have only increased the speaker audio in EXKM app. I set mine to +5 or +6. For me, that seems loud enough when I'm in the car with the windows up. Haven't noticed any issues effects at that level.

Changes with MTC19T (compared to MHC19Q): radio / boot / recovery / system / vendor
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
is latest EX and TWRP working with MTC19T?

---------- Post added at 07:38 ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 ----------

update: just installed latest updates, re-flashed TWRP, SU and EX and everything works fine. :)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] therealmarv:
Keep in mind that EX 1.12 is not up to date with the May Kernel security updates (but it should not harm to install it).

Seems we have a new branch dr1.6 on the Kernel sources when looking at the May security updates:

https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/msm/+log/android-msm-bullhead-3.10-marshmallow-dr1.6

I hope it is easy to integrate them into EX.

Which differences in term of performance between elx and eas?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] lagista:
Hi, sorry to bother yall, but I bricked my 5X after installing this kernel as it crashed during the installation process (crashed after selecting the 1824mhz option thing... on the third page? not too sure).

After it crashed, I am unable to get it to boot into system, recovery, or TWRP, or whatever.

Anybody can point to me any links for help?

OR AM I ****ED? :(

thanks anyway!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] mitchdickson:
Can you get into the bootloader and flash the stock kernel?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] lagista:
sorry to include that, i am also unable to get into bootloader :(
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] redsmith:
Woot, that's borderline impossible, can't you do the button combination to get into the bootloader? (Pwr + vol down)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] mawells787:
Try plugging your phone into the wall outlet see if you get the battery charging icon, then try to boot into bootloader again.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] lagista:
when i plug it into wall charger or my PC, no icons appear :(

i pressed all sorts of combination and theres no response! do you think my motherboard could've short circuited?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] mawells787:
Just leave it plugged in for a little while like 10-15min. I've been in a similar situation and it did the trick. However, it's possible that you might've just had a hardware failure, rare but possible.

Also hold the power button for more than 10seconds.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
good question ... and btw: what does eas mean or what is it exactly?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
It seems to depend on the person. I don't feel like I notice a difference in performance so I've used the EX-EAS version exclusively for a month at a time. Some others notice a performance hit. Best I can say is try it out for a few days and then post back your results.

Energy Awareness Scheduler. Here's some additional reading about EAS here and also here.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
thanks ... so EX-EAS is supposed to be more battery friendly, right? if so, does it work and is it stable? are there any cons?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Idk if it is more battery friendly. For me, I can get 4-6 hours with ease in Ex or Ex-EAS. What I can say is yes, it is fairly stable. At stock settings, Ex (and Ex-EAS) is incredibly stable for me. Often times, I'll go a few weeks without rebooting until a rom/Ex kernel update is posted. I'd say the most obvious con are the performance hits for Ex-EAS that some folks have. That's a big con if it happens to you. I'm sure folks will chiime in if Flar2 releases a new update and people update with their roms these next few days.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] enzippo:
Just to be sure. Which are the right settings for eas? Boost, min cpu, etc?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] mitchdickson:
There are no "right" settings.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Mitch is right. The only preferences are no Touchboost and both governors set to "sched." Flar2 usually suggests to leave everything else set to stock default.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] lagista:
after letting the phone rest for 4 hours, I am able to get into bootloader :)

I flashed a rom with may security update with this kernel, could that be the source of problem for my crashing issues?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Darke5tShad0w:
Not a kernel dev but I think my time on these forums has taught me that kernel crashes are alot rarer than os crashes, or atleast thats what I read from a dev once before.

Create some logcats so someone can look them over.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] lagista:
will do some logcat once I get home and figure out what it is!

right now my nexus 5X is unable to be turned on with a flashing red notification light (tried charging it for an hour, same thing) (Google doesn't help here :()
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
This seems like some kind of battery issue. Flashing a kernel can't brick your Nexus, it doesn't touch the bootloader. As long as the bootloader is intact you will be okay.

Leave your phone plugged in for several hours and then try again. I had this problem on a different device, the battery was screwed up and it wouldn't boot because it thought there was no juice. I left it plugged it In overnight and it finally started.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] lagista:
will do! thank you! :)

guess it's just bad luck, battery issue while flashing rom and kernel......
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
by saying "sched." you mean to enable use_sched_load in governors? if so, why some kernel profiles disable it on purpose?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] dfryer1193:
No. He means to use the "sched" governor available in the eas version of the kernel.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
ah ok, thanks for letting me know.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] enzippo:
update: tried eas version with all stock and sched governor etc. I don't know about battery lifepower, but, i'm 100% sure it's les smooth than original version. Tried with app like whatsup, gmail messenger etc and the phone takes his time. Also scrolling is less smooth than original kernel. Back to non-eas version...

Is there any chance to enable/use 'cooler colors' on 5X? I've used to use this feature of ElementalX on Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
You can reduce the reds a bit and bump the contrast a little with EX Kernel Manager for a similar effect.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] localh0st:
Thank you for response. I tried to create colors setup like I got on my N5, but it's still impossible to get such a good result on N5X.

I'm using 'cooler colors' + TCAT 2.2 profile on N5, colors are much different on each device. :(
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] luckana:
Yes, it's even there in stock rom. If only you checked dev options

Runs good on the purenexus may update. Patently waiting for the next x update.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] sireangelus:
I have a question and i need to report a bug.

The question is, can i have an update on the various governor profiles already in the app?

The bug is, if when installing the kernel i select a 1,9ghz frequency or higher my second cluster gets limited to 786mhz
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Andr006:
CPU can get quite hot and begin throttling (reducing the frequency) to cool down
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
That's not a bug, it's thermal throttling. I think we will be hearing a lot about this now that the weather is getting warmer
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Mesmurized:

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
I've been worried about this. Summers in DC are HOT
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] sireangelus:
Not having this bug if no overclocking is present on cluster 2. also it does not go back up if idling. I'm not talking about max frequency reported but rather the max CPU frequency you can set inside the app as an option. I think that should always be aviable.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
You can't set it higher if it is being throttled.

Please don't mess with frequencies. You will have great results if you forget about them completely.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] sireangelus:
Please don't answer a bug with "You're holding it wrong" ty
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] joakimbo:
Hi. Do you use any tweaks, or just elementalx as it is? Also.. Greenify or amplify? Thanks
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] joetheshmo:
He's saying don't mess around with over clocking if you want everything to operate well. More than anything it's a limitation of the hardware, not a bug in the kernel or app. Ty.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] sireangelus:
Please don't answer a bug with "You're holding it wrong" ty. I've been involve with overclocking and Linux since I was 14 and Android development for 6 years, that's not how a governor is supposed to work. And if you give in the installer the option to select an higher frequency than standard and the system reverts to limiting the cpu to 7xx mhz(cluster 1 works fine at 1.5ghz) without any overheating while idling is a bug in a service your software provides. I know that it's your prerogative, your time and your passion that brings you to deliver an incredible service to the community and I'm thankful for that, but you could improve your attitude if someone reports a true bug.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Andr006:
Is there any possibility to undervolt the CPU?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] nathanchance:
No and it's been talked about before why that won't be an option, feel free to search.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Andr006:
I guess I was hoping for more room for improvements... :/
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] nathanchance:
It's not an improvement, changing voltages disrupts more than it helps on this device and the 6P.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Andr006:
Yes yes I got it, it means that we are already at the lowest possible, so we can't improve it!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Mrcactuseater:
AFAIK as the kernel throttles to lower the temperature of the CPU to differnet levels, why would it let you set it back to a higher frequency again just to throttle back down or overheat? But as you have so much experience, why don't you attempt to fix this "bug" you are having and let [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] know what you get.

Tapatalk'd from my Twisted, Despaired Nexus 5x
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Turn off touchboost, reboot, then let the phone sit for a few minutes to cool off. Open EXKM and set or check the big CPU. Due to your post, I flashed ex 1.12 over Dirty Unicorns with big CPU set to 1.9 to see what you were talking about. For ten maybe fifteen minutes the speeds are not properly listed on the big CPU but that is entirely due to Qualcomm's throttling. That is normal behavior on this device. You will see this after every kernel flash.

I noticed you posted yesterday in our governor thread and said that you just got this device. You are new here. After first boot, with the snapdragon 808 on this device, it always takes some time before the big CPU clocks stick while they are running hot. This has been repeatedly covered in this thread if you had searched first.

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
The alternative answer is that those settings are for users who understand all of the things that interact with frequencies. You obviously don't understand how these settings interact with the thermal engine and perfd. Perhaps you didn't read the warnings I put on those settings.

So my friendly advice is leave them alone. This is not a bug, that's how it works.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] flar2:
Sorry, I get this same question by email, pm, on g+ and in the threads every single day.

It's not the governor, it's the cpufreq driver, which is how my app, all other apps, the battery driver, the thermal engine, perfd, and Android itself control cpu frequencies. The last four things can override anything my app tries to do. The snapdragon 808 runs very hot and shuts off the big cores and limits frequencies until it cools below a threshold. I've increased the threshold for offlining cores, but I'm not going to change it too much because I don't want users' devices to overheat. And yes, it runs hot enough that simply booting the phone is enough to make it throttle. This is why the snapdragon 808 and 810 were considered failures. Overclocking makes it worse, and I'm not surprised it throttles even while idle.

The way I allow users to select a hard limit for frequencies in the installer is the best compromise for allowing the user some control over frquencies while allowing all of the system things that influence frequencies to operate normally. I warn and recommend not to modify frequencies with apps. I could modify cpufreq to do what you want, and I have done this in the past, but it causes more problems than it's worth. The way all this operates by default is optimal and provides the best stability, safety and performance.

Hi,

I am in the market for the new Nexus 5X or Nexus 6P. I have the old Nexus 5 and it is not rooted.

I also had trouble finding a recording solution. The one way i found that I could record my calls, was to use a wired headset. It is annoying, but it works great. Speaker phone is not really an option, but that too records properly.

I have tried a couple of recording apps and all had the same results.

Has anyone tried these 2 methods on the 5X or 6P?

I would really like to know if this works, before buying, since I have to import it to where I live.

Call Recorder by skvalex. Best there is.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armyturtle:
I used call recorder on my Nexus 6 (not 6P, the older 6) and it worked amazing!

Hated the size of my Nexus 6, so I switched to a Nexus 5X. Call Recorder by skvalex DOES NOT work on the 5X. The audio is sooooo distorted it's ridiculous. Remember ANY commercial poking fun at a VERY BAD drive thru speaker and that's what it sounds like.

I am rooted. Makes no difference no matter what settings I choose. Currently trying Boldbeast recorder. At first it was crap too. But tried the settings recommended by Chaoxifier above and things started getting better.

Currently using the following and it's not perfect, but DEFINITELY MUCH BETTER. Root and then go into "Fix Recording Issues" and in there scroll to the bottom and choose "Enable Rooted Options"

- Record Mode: Alsa Mode (Root)

- Tune Audio Effect: Yes

- Tune Audio Route: Group1

- Change Audio Controls: Yes

- Change Audio Driver: No

- Start Input Stream: Yes

I also changed ASLA Channels to "2"

BTW - It should be mentioned that on skvalex's main website (for call recorder) he pretty much says on the Nexus 5X your SOL because it's how the hardware manufactures implemented the device audio. Frankly after reading much of his FAQ he comes off as a bit of a ****.

Hey guys - I have a Google-bought Nexus 6 running on AT&T. I have never had MMS issues until now. I clean-flashed 6.0 and have had no problems except with MMS...most of they time they won't send/receive.

The APN settings are currently the default, set to nxtgenphone.

I have spoken to AT&T and verified that the settings are correct. I just received a new SIM card from AT&T and it hasn't changed anything.

Anyone have any suggestions or similar experience?

Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OKAstro:
No problems here...unlocked N6 running on AT&T. You might check your MMS settings as to the file size. Maybe it's set too small. Also - make sure you have set your app to be the default sms/mms app.

I have run several message apps with no problem...currently using Next SMS (formerly Handcent)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffreii:
I don't believe there are MMS settings for size in the Messenger app...and it is set to default...not sure how that would help though.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
The size is only a factor if the mms is over 600 kb. Att has that as their max limit. As long as your apns are correct you should be good.

Well my APN is correct and I am not good :crying: lol

If the SIM card is good, the APN is correct...and now I've tried Hangouts instead of Messenger and it has the same problem...then it must either be something on my account on AT&T's side or perhaps I need to try and do a clean flash and test MMS with no modifications (not that I have many...just TWRP and root).
