Initial feedback on Oudini "4GB RAM" motherboard for Nexus 5X Hello everyone. Couple of weeks back my nexus 5X died. It did not come as a shock to me as I was kinda expecting it tbh. It showed signs over last 6 months, like freezing once / twice a week and in later days 3 times a DAY ...

Try a custom kernel. ElementalX for example. Also check out the Interactive governor profiles thread to find a profile that suits your type of usage. Also i recommend Greenify app to auto hibernate stubborn apps. If nothing works take the phone to service centre and ask them to take a look at...

Install ElementalX kernel manager app. In cpu options you can choose number of cores. Disable cpu5 and cpu4. Or you can also set the max big cores online to 0.

Hello everyone. Some battery stats from 1st session of Android Oreo. ElementalX kernel, stock oreo system, big Cluster disabled. Using the A53 cores @ 1.5ghz. Gpu @ 490mhz. Greenify for automatic screen off hibernation. Usage includes web browsing and watching videos. Not intensive use. But...

I remember coming to a conclusion about a year ago when i thought about replacing my s4 mini. I realized at that time, I cannot replace my s4 mini. So bought a Nexus 5X and have been using it alongside my S4 Mini. Any apps that I dont use on my main phone (5X) are installed on s4 mini. It was...

Hey guys. Back after a long time. This time I tested the battery drain after using Greenify app. Before that I had a habit of freezing Play Store and Play services in Titanium backup. Just to make sure they dont misbehave. However I stopped doing that recently. Instead went with Greenify app and...

Hello everyone. Installed the latest build of this rom. Clean flash. But I have a problem. Root Explorer app does not work. It opens up and request SU permission. I grant that and android's storage permission too. But I freezes and later it force closes. Never opens. Anyone facing this issue ...

I read a LOT of eBooks. When you use the display and do static things like reading stuff etc, without using mobile data/ wifi you do not burn a lot of battery. I observed this. Even web browsing when you read long webpages and articles where you load it once and just keep reading you do not...

Hello guys. I am back with more stats. This time I did not remove gapps. Neither did I freeze them. I just let them be. They are all updated to latest versions. PureNexus N rom, elementalX kernel, picogapps. Over 2 days of use, mostly web browsing, messaging and a bit of casual gaming. More...

Hey bro. Nice to see u here. Have not seen u in a while. YES INDEED. arco68 is phenomenal. We must be glad that none of the phone makers are putting up compact devices with good specs. :p That is one of the reasons I feel arco uses s4 mini. Same with me. I have a nexus 5x but i am still not...

I usually come up with stats of my setup without AND with gapps. Check my other posts in this thread. I do use gapps. And usually I get 70-80% of the results I got without gapps. My next set of stats will be with gapps installed. :good:

Stock+ NBD90W rom with ElementalX kernel. Removed gapps. 33 hours usage, 90% drop. Mostly web browsing , Ebook reading and messaging. About 20 minutes of light gaming. Over 5hr SOT. Cell signal was sporadic while in my university. Maybe that contributed to more drain while using LTE in first...

Yes. I unfreeze them in Titanium backup whenever I have to use playstore or when any app asks for play services. It is easy. Works effectively. Screen brightness was between 20% and 50% with average being closer to 20 than 50. Mostly indoor usage. CPU, GPU, Mobile Radio and Screen are biggest...

Brightness was mostly between 20% and 50%. I always freeze play services and play store apps using titanium backup. That makes sure that do not remain in background using my data and battery. Also i do lot of web browsing and ebook reading... which is why i get higher SOT compared to most users...

Hey guys. Back with some stats. Probably the last time I will be putting marshmallow stats. Coz I plan to install N. Anyway..... 36 hours of use, Mostly ebook reading, Web browsing and Messaging. 6 hours of SOT. 85% battery loss. Rom was Pure nexus 21/8 build and ElementalX kernel. I used the...

We actually have a mod that enables 60fps 1080p video. I tested it and works. However there is a considerable bug. Using this mod, we cannot record slow motion video. Neither 120fps nor 240 fps. This is thread -...

Hey guys. Back with another set of stats. 2nd cycle with nougat. Using the debloated N rom by tupac4u , with ElementalX 3.04 kernel. Usage includes web browsing, GPS navigation, Messaging and a bit of camera. Screen brightness around 40% average. 35 hours total, 4hr 30 min SOT. Really good...

Hello guys. This morning I flashed tupac4u 's debloated 'N' rom. Used it for 13 hours in total. Battery dropped from 87% to 38%. 3G was used for 1st 8 hours, then Wifi enabled when I came home. Google account setup and I disabled background data on play services app. Got 3hr 21 min SOT with...

Flashed the N rom this morning. First flashed twrp 3.0.2.1 , then flashed the bootloader+radio zip, then wiped device and flashed rom. No errors. Used for about 13 hours. Very smooth and mostly stable. However I experienced a couple of FC, maybe because apps were not updated to work with N...

Hey guys. Back with some results. Chroma rom + ElementalX latest. Using micro Gms.. Standard use.. web browsing, messaging, emails and bit of camera..

Hello all. I tested this mod after my previous report. It still works. But google camera and the other modded Camera X app crash when i choose slow-motion mode. Is this expected ? I can provide logs, If needed. Thanks.

Hello everyone. I tried this mod , following all instructions to the letter. And it works. I recorded a couple of videos but they were too big. Around 1 min in length and 500mb in size. So I converted one of them to slightly lower bitrate mp4 file without audio. In the recordings audio...

Hello everyone. I need some help. I used the modified pit file and failed to flash roms despite wiping the partitions. I wanted to go back to stock. I flashed the un modified pit file, it gets stuck at "Set partition" message in Odin.. i used 3.10 and 1.85 versions of Odin.. same result... any...

Absolutely right. I tested this on my phone over last one week. 4 usage cycles in total. Two of them are more presentable in terms of screenshots.. I attached pics of latest usage (Today). 100% to 38% in 12 hours. Using LTE all along. 4:21 SOT. The Zip file has previous usage cycle (yesterday)...

N Preview 5. I AM IMPRESSED. Used for 1.5 days... 5 hr 27 min SOT. Most of internet usage was LTE. Was connected to wifi while I was at home, but i was not using wifi. Mostly web browsing, messaging, camera. Better than marshmallow, but not a great improvement. It is an improvement nonetheless.

It all depends on big brother arco68 Considering that this is a midrange phone from 2013, it has had a remarkable run in terms of custom rom support. Many did not expect this phone to get cm13. But arco got it working. So it is all down to arco. We are lucky to have a developer like him...

You need supersu and busybox installed first. Then download the flashable zip or hosts file. Flash it in recovery and use adaway app. It will copy successfully. It worked for me.

Are there any alternate links for download ? Because i reached max bandwidth on mega.nz. Can someone please reupload it to google drive or AFH ? Thanks. Interested in this slimrom. Have it running on my Moto E 2015 and Nexus 5X. :o EDIT :: Nevermind. I created a free account on Mega and was...

Yes. I confirm it. It works on slim6 rom. I was searching this thread, but missed your post. Thanks. BTW, I just downloaded latest version of this kernel. Will flash and report. Cheers.

Thanks. I will try and report soon. I will edit this post when i report.

I have Moto E2 XT1521. Surnia. I am running the SlimROM 6.0.1. Can I flash this kernel on that rom ? Because slim roms are based on cm13.... And this kernel works on cm13 and cm13 based roms.

ashirviskas Search before posting or starting new thread. There is one thread in Android Development section. This is the one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/development/rom-debloated-busybox-fast-stable-t3398617 Before flashing the rom zip, you must flash corresponding bootloader...

Actually since that day, I have been using gapps. Right now I am back on PureNexus after using Chroma for 2 weeks. ElementalX kernel was common. Battery life is almost the same with both roms. One thing that I did out of paranoia was to use Titaniumbackup to freeze play store and play services...

Do you use your screen at 50% brightness all the time ? I use the phone indoors mostly.. at 15-30% brightness. I get about 4-5 hr SOT depending on usage. I still think google apps are culprits. Thats why after downloading the apps I need, I freeze play store and play services apps. This makes...

This thread helps you. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/development/rom-debloated-busybox-fast-stable-t3398617 You need to flash N preview bootloader, radio and Vendor image. Then immediately boot into recovery. Flash the N preview zip. Simple as that. All files you need are in that...

Can you tell me the path where the usb disk is mounted ? like /storage/usbdisk or something...

First of all, hats off. The amount of work and your observations deserve a lot of respect. Great work mate. Hi everyone. I use 5X with chroma rom and elementalX kernel. There is something I observed that I want to share. I am sure a lot of you guys know this already. My setup is I run CPUs at...

I do not use any apps to force sleep. I have a suggestion. If google apps are misbehaving, open titanium backup and freeze play store and play services. Also I do not use any email app that continuously syncs in the background. I use k9-mail. I manually sync regularly as I do not receive a lot...

Hello everyone. I am using this recovery on my Nexus 5X. It works great, no issues. However as you guys know, 5X does not have sd card slot, using an usb disk is sometimes the way to go. I have a type-C otg cable that works when 5X is booted into android system. I get a pop-up saying...

Hello everyone. I am back after a long time. Have new stats. This is the best I ever got. 60 Hours of total use. Mostly web browsing and phone calls. Played subway surfers for 40 min. Got 6hr SOT. Incredible. Chroma ROM + ElementalX kernel. Ghostpepper profile.

I have similar doubts. Hello everyone. Just downloaded N DP3. My Nexus 5x is decrypted. I want it to remain that way. Correct me if I am wrong. Flash bootloader, radio, boot, system, vendor and twrp. Then immediately boot into recovery and flash this kernel. Then I will boot into system...

SwiftDark. ---------- Post added at 10:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 AM ---------- Brightness is usually around 20%. Because I am indoors most of the time. When outside, i increase it to 50-60%.

Hey guys. I am back with some more stats. 3 days off the charger. 4hr30min SOT. PureNexus , ElementalX, ghostpepper. Mostly wifi used.

It is some random chromium browser. Maybe CAF chromium.

None as yet. However we have custom kernels that can be used after fastboot flashing the Preview. 2 Kernels are available.

The best I got on 6.0.1 ROMs is 6Hr SOT over 1.5 days. However looking at the results you got with N DP2, I am excited to try it. Who knows maybe we will hit 8hr SOT consistently with a custom rom+ kernel when android N is out. Can't wait. :cowboy: No. Unless I open maps (yandex) or Cab...

Pure Nexus MTC19T, ElementalX v1.14, GhostPepper profile. 41 hours use, 5hr SOT. With my standard use of web browsing and messaging. Great results. ;) :good:

Anyone facing force close issue with titanium backup app ? I am on latest mtc19t build of this rom. I flashed supersu 2.71 beta.. and tested it. With or without that supersu, titanium backup force closes... Any clue ?

First thing is to unlock bootloader, if you want to flash roms. As that process wipes internal storage, do that first. Follow this great tutorial by Heisenberg to the letter. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/tutorial-flash-factory-images-unroot-t3231627 As he suggests in that...

No. Location services were switched off. I only turn them on when I need them. Like maps or cab booking etc.
