Original thread for Nexus 6P is located here:

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/orig-development/xthermal-mod-fast-charging-cpu-gpu-t3433784

Hi Guys,

I'm back with the Xthermal Mod.

But this time it is for Nexus 5x.

Introduction:

Nexus 5x is one of the best handsets we have now. No doubts about that.

Nexus 5x has also got one of the best Fast Charging.

But why I always get around 800-1100 mA current while charging?

Max to max I get 1400-1500 mA current.

Is this the best fast charging I can get?

Then I opened my thermal engine file and started working on it.

Goal:

Xthermal_Fast_Charge: Here I tried to boost my charging current/speed while keeping rest values to their default.

Xthermal_Performance: Here I tried to boost my charging current/speed + Same basic CPU & GPU tweaks are also applied.

Also tested with roms based on "N" aka Android 7.x.

Downloads:

Links for Marshmallow and for Nougat: See the attachments.

How to apply:

1. Download the zip

2. Reboot to TWRP recovery

3. Flash the zip and reboot.

Wait let it settle a bit...

Now check the difference using Ampere app...

Thank you, I'll try out and give feedback. Are this values modifying the governor? I'm on elemental x with silver fish profile. And can you specify what should we expect from it? More battery? More performance? Sounds promising
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] ravinder0003:
Faster charging...

more better cpu and gpu performance in day to day tasks...

This is purely thermal engine based mod which works on tweaking the initial throttling values so that we can delay throttling a bit ...
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] zevik99:
Charges faster, thanks....
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] TW1ST3D1NS4N3:
Works like a charm! Thanks for the work man! Much appreciated!
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Javi22:
Never saw a mod like this lol, will try thanks
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] TW1ST3D1NS4N3:
I have flashed all 3 zips and no matter which one is flashed the script always reads inside of TWRP "Back To Stock"?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Alcolawl:
Cool tweaks, pretty similar to the thermal throttling tweaks detailed in this thread months ago: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/general/guide-thermal-throttle-tweaking-t3395681

I'm not too wild about the battery temperature tweak here. Li-Ion batteries shouldn't really exceed 45 Celsius when being charged. The problem with these batteries is that the hotter they get, the worse rate they charge at. On top of this, higher temps reduce the battery's overall lifespan. Bottom Line: The temperature threshold for the battery in our phones is there for a reason.
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] jerethi:
Thanks for posting. I am currently on ElementalX with various over clocking enabled. Will this interfere with that in anyways or cause instability?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Smacksmack206:
this changes whatever changes i may have already done to thermal.conf?

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------

another question when i flashed the 5x xthermal performance fast charge is it supposed to say back to stock ?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] ravinder0003:
No issues at all as files inside the zips are correct...

Might be copy paste issue ... will check the same...

Thx for reporting...

Edit: just checked...

Forgot to modify updater script lol...

Will edit it in evening... rtnw at office
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Nyoir:
How? I get 3000 without doing anything
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] axiel7:
Can this affect to battery life?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] TW1ST3D1NS4N3:
I haven't noticed anything...Been using for a couple days now
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Without Rules:
Wich one makes the phone charging faster (I want the fastest)
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] TW1ST3D1NS4N3:
Read the OP
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] TheLastSidekick:
Confirming this definitely works... I'm impressed truthfully. My charging speed was always crap, 300 mah with the 2.5 charger from Google, now it's 1750~ mah
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] Dread This Day:
Because I'm not sure, say I have a custom kernel, will this alter or negatively affect anything I already have going on? Or does this just modify only the charging?
[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] ochen85:
Does this tweak work alongside the Thermal Throttling Tweak by Razorless. Lost my charging brick and using an iPad one and the speeds never get to what it used to be, would love to try this out. Thanks
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] undeadadd:
Hey guys. I have an LG G5 currently and am getting the HTC 10 delivered tomorrow as the LG G5 GPS issue is driving me mad. What I'm wondering is, is the HTC 10 a better phone? Naturally most of you are going to be a bit bias due to owning the 10, but try and be as unbiased a possible. As I said my main issue with the G5 is that my gps is very hit and miss (miss 70% of the time) although at first it worked flawlessly for a couple of months.

I'm liking the sounds of the built in DAC and I love the build quality of the HTC 10 too. I hear the camera has been improved since launch thanks to software update? I've also heard about a pink tint to the screen, is this with all HTC 10 handsets or just the odd one?

I haven't owned a HTC since I had the M7 on release and I usually keep a phone from anywhere between 2 months to 6 months so it was easily a few years back I think? but I need a keeper for 2 full years this time around. The G5 I've had for maybe 3 months and was supposed to be my 2 year keeper lol.

Also how easy is rooting and flashing on the HTC 10? The reason I switched from the M7 was because for some reason after flashing some kernels and ROMs for months my signal had broke and WiFi had broke too with both dropping in and out every 30 seconds. I did eventually fix this but that was a couple months after getting a new phone and then I sold the M7

Thanks guys
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Jonathan-H:
Hi

I've just moved to the HTC 10 from the LG G5, a few days actually, and I find myself missing the G5.

The speaker on the G5 is the biggest thing I miss, it really blows the H10 away. I will be using a BT speaker for gaming and chilling when i'm away from headphones though now I've got the H10. (EDIT: this one might be up for discussion or you can judge for yourself when you get your 10, maybe even advise me if my 10 is faulty, as my 10 speaker is 50% quieter than the LG and has no bass)

The wide angle lens is the other, and the G5 camera's in general. The manual mode on the 10 is awful and in my opinion useless, but Auto produces decent shots. I will be picking up one of the lenses with Macro, Wide and Fish eye lenses from ebay see if I can get around that. The G5 is slightly smoother and quicker and I miss the G5 keyboard lol.

Aside from that the HTC 10 is a great phone, it's almost as fast as the G5 although it gets a tad hot, music through headphones is insanely loud and great quality, GPS I haven't tried yet.

Oddly enough the GPS, wifi and 4G performance on the LG G5 was the best of any phone I've used, so I don't understand the GPS issues people used to get.

Given a chance, and now after rooting and installing Viper again, I think i'll get over my missing the G5 but for now, I think the G5 is a better phone. (I am contemplating buying another to use as my work phone)

As you're getting the 10 delivered, you will work all this out anyway and probably be more than happy with the 10.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
I went from a G5 to a HTC 10. The only thing I missed was the wide angle camera but thats obvious lol. The build on the 10 is just so godly. Especially coming from the G5. Its just refreshing and makes you happy when you hold it over the G5. Its pretty damn awesome lol. Other than that everything else is on par really. Well the speakers and dac are better on the 10. The screens about even probly. The battery life is better on the 10. The skins better on the 10. Over all the 10 is better in every way except it doesnt have the wide angle cam, so if you never used it youll be fine :)
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Jonathan-H:
Do you think it's possible my speakers are faulty? I only ask because they're about 50% as loud as my old G5 and aside from clarity they have zero bass. I'm wondering if I should replace within 14 days? (Sorry for sidetracking the thread)
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
idk hard to tell. I mean the g5 had a really loud speaker on the bottom. But having dual speakers on the 10 was my favorite.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] undeadadd:
Well if possible I want to leave the delivery sealed and send the HTC 10 back if people think the G5 is a better phone. Like I said my only issue with the G5 is its poor GPS (constantly searching) so I can't navigate! Which I do quite a lot Lol. I also only get around 3-4hrs screen on time. I've seen people on the HTC 10 getting 7-8hrs SoT
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] aknotts415:
unless you want the wide angle camera the HTC 10 is better in every way imo. LG also has bad quality control lately with the G4 bootlooping, the V10 bootlooping and some issues on the G5. DEF go the HTC 10 over G5. Also the HTC 10 is likely to be the first phone to upgrade to nougat that isnt a nexus device. Since you know there making the pixels ;)
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] boraxman:
Can not say I ever had a G5 but did have the G2 and G4, both garbage, neither lasted a year without major issue.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] undeadadd:
Thanks I might keep the HTC 10 when it arrives tomorrow then. But anymore input from other people before then would be good too
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] chetly968:
I currently have both phones but I prefer the HTC 10. The Bui!d quality is better on the HTC, the G5 seems to scratch a lot easier. I have a couple little scratches on it even though I really take care of my phones. The HTC looks brand new. I like the dual speakers (sorta dual I guess) as they sound better when watching movies. The G5 definitely gets louder tho. The sound from the headphone jack is also better on the 10, but if you have the hifi DAC for the G5 they sound pretty much the same (awesome that is). The wide angle camera (really just the camera function in general) on the G5 is probably the one thing it has over the HTC.

Everything else between these to phones comes down to preference. The HTC is closer to stock Android, but LG's layering on top of the OS introduces some neat functionality. Speed, screen, processing, storage are all pretty similar. HTC does adoptive storage out if the gate though.

Rooting I believe us also better someone the HTC u less you have the LG H850.

My nod goes to the 10 if i had to choose one.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] undeadadd:
I'm keeping the HTC 10 and selling the LG g5. I really love the feel Of The HTC 10 and it's a really nice experience overall. 2nd day of use and I'm getting 5hrs SoT which is about an hour or slightly more than my G5. I will probably miss the G5 camera but I'm sure I'll get over it eventually lol.

Thanks guys.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Ariac Konrel:
I came from the LG G5 to the HTC 10, completely worth it imo.

I miss the G5's camera and fingerprint placement, but nothing else really.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Jonathan-H:
After installing a custom ROM to remove some of the annoying issues, and V4a to improve the sound quality and speaker bass and volume, and taking some brilliant shots and video footage of a gig last night, I have changed my mind, Rooted and properly modded, the 10 is better than the G5 lol.

Stock, the G5 still has it for me and is a better out of the box experience than the 10. But Rooted and modded the 10 comes out of it's shell and really shines.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] mwake4goten:
TL:DR go for G5 for swappable batteries.

I'm writing this on a HTC m8. I've had a great ride with this phone but really been bummed out with the non removable battery. 18 months into ownership the m8 battery started behaving weird. It drained a lot faster. Now 2+ years later it is very frustrating battey wise, when the phone gets to 30-20% it shuts down without warning. Obviously my non removable battery has reached "end of life".

I know phones with non removable batteries can be replaced but HTC one series phones have a notorious record of being one of the hardest phones to replace battery wise...not only that some have reported that other components sometimes get damaged in the attempt to replace the battery.

Don't get me wrong I love HTC, the build quality is great and I've never really had a problem with lag or any thing like that. But I wish HTC would release a phone with a removable battery then it would be perfect... Unlike others I'm not obsessed with how thin a phone should look.

I know this is about the HTC 10 vs G5 (and not HTC m8) but i would say you need to factor in how long you will have the phone for....if you're like me and like to keep a phone for 18+ months then maybe G5 is the way to go.

I'm actually waiting for the LG V20 to be released as I'll never go back to the frustration of non removable batteries no matter how good the phone is.

I'm pretty sure that in another year this HTC 10 forum will be awash with battery issue posts just like the HTC One M8 is now.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] :
HTC 10 all the way. Only other phone was the M8 I really enjoyed over every phone I ever had which was damn near every manufacturer lol
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] samisax:
I'll echo your concerns. I tried to change my M8's battery myself. Ruined something and had to send it in for repairs. It was fixed quite cheaply and got a fresh battery installed by a professional.

Though a removable battery feels like a good option to have, let's face it, you'll only need it about once or twice in the phone's lifetime, and for those times, you can pay a little and get a professional to do it.

Of course, if you like to have spare batteries and switch them out on demand, then that's a different story.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] DVS_Sokar:
I propose we take this time to put some pressure on Samsung Mobile and Samsung Mobile US to Free the Bootloader for the Note 7. As faith in Samsung's products are waning do to multiple products having safety issues and new and old are losing perceptive value it may be time to put the social media pressure on them to unlock the Bootloader. I have started tweeting Samsung Mobile US with the attached.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Let's make this device we don't want anyone using more enticing by unlocking the bootloader. Won't happen.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] kbtoy:
Ya, u might have more luck asking for the next device to have unlocked bootloader as they have written this one off. Still a long shot but better than doing nothing.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
THIS is what everyone should be doing. Petition for the bootloaders BEFORE the phone is released.

The only message you will ever get from Samsung on this device is power down and return.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] thegameksk:
Samsung should make it so we have no desire to root our phones or need custom roms. By this point they need to work on the audio. There should be no reason why an app like viper cant be made. Instead they give us constantly crappy audio and laggy phones.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Thing is there will always be a reason to root and a lot of those reasons aren't a function of how samsung does business but rather a function of how android is designed, one example being adblocking. Even with those ones that route through a VPN that don't require root, they pale in comparison to Ad away.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tiger62651:
Not going to happen. Phone is officially a write off so your chances of them pushing update to disable phone more likely than lobbying against unlocking broader on a recalled device. Furthermore to have one unlocked will hurt their bottom line, they only listen to the green backs. They always complain for security reasons for what they do but funny part is that custom roms (CM etc) don't have those security (stagefright) issues cause they are identified and patched before the masses sees it. They just want more from everyone and will always label us as pirates and hackers to keep the sheeple in line.

Hi,

I would like to buy this phone and get it shipped to the UK. I know about the lack of some UK bands and I am happy with it in my area. I have seen it on ali express and geekbuying but have no experience as to buying a phone from there and what import taxes they hit. Where would you recommend I get one?

I have sene it in a couple places:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Xia..._6&btsid=47921e20-e42d-4dc6-a153-d53e0513952a

http://www.geekbuying.com/item/Xiaomi-Mi-5S-4GB-128GB-Smartphone---Gray-372738.html

I am assuming this phone is out yet? or are these just suppliers saying it wil eb a long delivery as they havnt got it yet?

Chris
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] ermacwins:
Check out oppomart. They ship from EU so there shouldn't be import charges. $20 for shipping. They seem to have the best prices
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] wardy277:
Thanks, that does look like decent prices. Shame the grey isn't available yet. Have you used them before?
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] ermacwins:
No haven't used them
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] StoneTrapper:
I used oppomart to preorder the Redmi Pro.

It hadn't shipped 4 weeks after the shipping date published on the site (which also hadn't been updated) and I'd heard nothing from them. This was 6 weeks after I placed the preorder.

They were quick to refund and cancel the order on request though.

I would note that the seller you linked claims "Tariff Free" which may be customs related or may simply mean that it's a handset only (rather than carrier tied).

Top One will cover any EU (UK included) import fees (see here)

AliExpress claims it comes with a 1 year UK warranty, plus they're listed on a few UK cashback sites such as Quidco (7.5% off)
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] blustere:
Try eglobalcentral.co.uk. I ordered my note 7 (yes i still refused to give up on it) from there and it arrived safely, very quick and with no custom taxes (their policy also states that they cover the cost of the custom taxes). But just have in mind that they are sending the phones from Hong Kong so if you need to return it or is faulty you have to pay for the posting cost. I also advice you to include mail insurance during checkout just to be sure.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] SamPlayzz:
I got my Mi 5 on the way to UK in the Mi Store (in shanghai) :P. But I have got Mi phones from Banggood and Aliexpress before so they are both good (this was when I was in NZ so idk import charges).

i was quick to order from oppomart today, because the price is right! but after googling about their reputation, i'm now a bit weary i just threw money in the toilet :(

You ordered a note 7? I think people is stupid. Better do what samsumg said: turn off your phone for your safety.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] blustere:
No one is selling the note 7 now apparently so i wouldn't be able to order it from somewhere as they stopped the production. So when i said 'ordered" it man i meant pre-ordered and arrived on 2nd of September , the day of its release before anyone knew about the faulty batrery. But you are right about it not being safe and because they also restrict it on flights i decided to rerurn it back.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] wardy277:
Has anyone been able to find a black/grey varient? All I keep finding is a pre order. Is the black version released yet?

[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] StoneTrapper:
There's a new UK site offering Xiaomi phones and shipping from within the UK, considering they're shipped domestically (i.e include VAT) Shipping is £5.

TheSolutionShop.co.uk

Just heard about them here on Reddit.

They're only offering what they have in stock (since some kind of preorder issue they had in the past) and since it's a UK business usual Consumer Rights Act applies.

Definitely seems worth a look at from me, if only because if anything was to go wrong then you've got real options in terms of resolving any issue.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] ermacwins:
You can already unlock your bootloader now?
