Thanks for all your hard work!

Do we still need a modified boot.img when using this kernel? And does it matter if we flash it over stock or ChainFire boot image?

As of alpha 0.01, this is a complete boot.img that includes Chainfire's modifications.

For future releases, I will reuse the existing ramdisk, which means you might need to flash Chainfire's boot.img first.

Flashed and successfully booted! I already sense the improvement! As a Nexus 4 owner I am so happy to finally be able to experience ElementalX for myself (even in a super-mega-alpha state). Thank you for your work!

 

[skulldreamz]

@flar2 thank you so much! Wow elementalX with a nexus device, I'm speechless ?

 

[lysm bre]

Thanks a lot!! Flashed flawlessly. Just wondering, while it was flashing, it said "E:Find_File: Error opening '/sys/class/backlight.' Is that anything to worry about?

How did you get permissive mode? Me and @shawnanastasio have been puzzling over that from day 1

If we're using his systemless root, will your future releases work with that?

Thanks flar2! Really glad to see you here!

Flashed the kernel, everything went smoothly. I'm gonna try to tweak some settings and see how things go. Great work thus far!

Flashed and running flawless! Any one color calibrate their screen yet to get the piss off of it?

I just used it to calibrate my screen that is a tad warm compared to my mother's Quartz 5X and my old LG G2, both of which have cooler displays. Whites definitely look whiter now, though tbh I might go a little warmer since it's easier on my eyes. I'll do a before/after comparison to my old G2 later today and post pics.

Note: my settings right now are Red 245, Green 253, Blue 256 to get my display down to a coolness level that seems close to my G2, which I do not have on hand at work right now.

What will you use to calibrate?
