Personally, I also don't have lag with encryption enabled.

I had lag before, I'm using Chroma + ElementalX-eas kernel. I noticed the lag really often while using application, games, scrolling, or browsing in Chrome for instance. Then I realized this kernel enables ZRam by default, with a disk size of 500MB. Then I totally disabled ZRam (using kernel adiutor to set the ZRam disk size to 0MB), and lag has totally disappeared.

Maybe if you use a kernel that enables ZRam, maybe try to disable it, I’m pretty sure it’s counter-productive in terms of smoothness and battery life on the Nexus 5X with 2GB RAM.

I don’t know, but I don’t see exactly why encryption could lead to lag. I mean, encryption could reduce performance for loading apps, and may add a bit of delay as soon as read / write operations are needed for a given app on /data, but once an app is launched and you’re using it, encryption should not decrease performance notably.

On my previous phone, a Nexus 4, I compared with and without encryption, and I didn’t notice such a difference in performance during in-app use.

It's a place that normally does not get wiped when I do a clean flash...

it's not inside data I think, it is in the /00 FLASH of the memory of the N5x when I browse it from my laptop

In other words, where should I store the files to flash in order to prevent them from being erase by format data (in order to remove encryption)?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] tassos_chry:
On your PC. Better to be safe, than sorry!

I need files to flash on the phone, because I use TWRP to clean flash after decrypting the phone (format /data)
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Jonathan_m84:
Move your files to the PC, decrypt your phone, copy the files back to the phone, flash the files. Done..

Any Project Fi users here?

I haven't got my USB-C cable yet so the device is pure stock right now. There is a problem with roaming on it that has been reported by others as well.

So......are there any Project Fi users here using Pure Nexus that are able/unable to roam?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] phaleg:
Can I copy the files back booting into system?

I mean, when I format /data I guess there is no android system left to boot...

I mean, the all thing for me, is to know wheter fomatting /data will erase also zip files that I need to flash back that are stored in

/sdcard/00 Flash (I know 5x does not have a real ext SD but that is the path shown in X-Plore)

All other files like photos, videos and so on are not a big deal
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Jonathan_m84:
The android system is on /system, not on /data. So you can just wipe /data and then reboot tge system into android. Then copy back the files you need to flash..

Battery draining

While sleeping the battery is draining, pls fix it
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Pollie81:
Why are you so sure the problem is in the rom and not on your side? How much does it drain at night? Have you investigated the battery stats to see what caused the drain? Etc.. etc..
[Nexus 5X Android Development] bec3:
Yes nothing clear, i can see android system 23% and exchange service 15%

At 4am the battery was 100%, at 8 am thr battery was 35%
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Domin_PL:
I really like this rom! Battery is quite ok (im on elementarx kernel, may i change to franco), but I expected a little bit better stats, performance is awesome (average 1,3 gb memory used, about 400mb less than stock)

And can anyone give me fresh link to vendor? This from thread doesn't work to me

[Nexus 5X Android Development] Domin_PL:
I don't have it, but I had likely you after restoring /data backup.

But now can you unlock your device?

Just switched to a 5x. Heard this ROM + falco kernel are the best combo apparently. Anyone care to confirm that?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] khanjui:
There is no "best" ROM and/or kernel. Totally personal preference. You can't know before try different ROMs and kernels.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Psychofrantics:
Just don't try a rom with a lots of features baked.

Performance on all roms especially which are closer to stock is very good.

Just my 2 cents though.

Afaik, you cannot go wrong with either elementalxor franco

Don't forget to delete audio_effects.conf in /vendor/etc if you use V4A (and reinstall V4A driver) and re-apply any Layer themes as flashing vendor will wipe your vendor.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] herrieberry:
Still the best rom for me!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Javi22:
How is this possible?

I used pure nexus rom with some layer theme applied. I made a factory reset and format data. All gone, so I can do clean flash of this rom (past version)

And I find that the Rom is installed with the theme I had bedird. Wtf?? Don't even have the layers app. And I did the format data :0
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Psychofrantics:
Always uninstall overlays before flashing any new roms. You can still uninstall your installed layers from layers manager. However, if i were you i would clean flash again after uninstalling all overlays
[Nexus 5X Android Development] zephiK:
On the 5X/6P, layer themes are stored on the vendor partition. Regardless if you wipe, your layers will stick from one ROM to another ROM.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Javi22:
Ohh I see, ok thank you too much both!

Anyway why do you recommend make a clean flash now? If I like the theme I can keep it. Or it just may generate stability problems or something? (so far it's ok)
[Nexus 5X Android Development] zephiK:
Hm? I never recommended a clean flash. I was just saying that even if you did a clean flash, the layers will stick on a clean flash since all of the layers are stored on the vendor partition.

For phones without a vendor partition (non-5X/6P) then the layers are stored in /system/ instead of /vendor/.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] iamterence:
Having Layers stick from one ROM to another won't cause any stability problems.

[Nexus 5X Android Development] tassos_chry:
It's the new Exchange Services update, that asks for Gmail update. Doesn't have anything to do with dirty flash. You can disable notifications for Exchange Services to get rid of the message

If not, I will keep the layers in every clean flash I do... Hahha
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Psychofrantics:
I have just stated that if my phone would be in state, i would do that. No logical reason. Just I would like to start clean lol. If you have no problem, dont clean flash it

[MENTION=1978554]zephiK[/MENTION] Many thanks for your speed on releasing new builds, as usual.

Small suggestion, in the optic of a fast, light weight, AOSP ROM as Chroma, why don't you think of adding a CAF Chromium browser build?

I tried some, and they are indeed faster than any other....
[Nexus 5X Android Development] tassos_chry:
Can you name a couple of CAF Roms for Bullhead?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] gpvecchi:
CyanogenMod and derivates; but CAF Chromium is not related to CAF roms; ParanoidAndroid has it and its AOSP, and you can find CAF Chromium browser build even on Play store.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] misscz:
For some reason after flashing the latest Chroma (Clean install/Latest Gapps), I'm unable to hit "Allow" when a program asks for permission to access something.

For example, Solid Explorer upon first boot asks to access photos/media/files on the device. I can click Deny, but I can't click Allow for some reason. I have to manually go in and enable permissions for the app itself through Settings. Any reason why this is?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] fire7777777:

there are toolkits indeed so you can try one of those or you can use fastboot to flash a factory image. It's not that hard..

there was something that prevents the computer from flashing the zip files to the phone

[Nexus 5X Android Development] Pollie81:
you can connect your phone to your computer when your in recovery to transfer files so you can flash a rom. if that doesn't work i guess the only thing you can do is flash a factory image thru fastboot and start from scratch.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] phaleg:
how can I do it from recovery?

[Nexus 5X Android Development] Pollie81:
just connect your device to your computer when you are in recovery.

2. Disable Exchange app
[Nexus 5X Android Development] souleman:
You should select the vendor partition.

And yes, you can just reboot the phone while it is installing the old apps. Reboot to recover, then when you go back to system, it should pick up where it left off. I've done it a few times.
