Installation

1. Flash in recovery

For maximum compatibility with all ROMs, ElementalX uses your existing ramdisk.
Do NOT flash this over other custom kernels!
You should only flash ElementalX over the kernel that came with your ROM!!!

Notes

Sweep2wake:
disable = 0
sweep right = 1
sweep left = 2
sweep up = 4
sweep down = 8

Add them together. For example, to enable sweep2wake in every direction:
echo 15 > /sys/android_touch/sweep2wake


Sweep2sleep:
disable = 0
sweep right = 1
sweep left = 2
sweep left or right = 3

eg: enable sweep2sleep left
echo 2 > /sys/android_touch/sweep2sleep


Doubletap2wake:
enable = 1
disable = 0

eg: enable doubletap2wake:
echo 1 > /sys/android_touch/doubletap2wake

Glad to see more kernels come onto the N6 scene.

Is encryption disabled by default on this kernel?

Edit: Encryption is enabled. Beware for those who are decrypted.

 

[jdenman03]

My favorite kernel from the n5 is here! Thank you! Can't wait to see more features like fast charge!

 

[simms22]

thank you @flar2 ill give it a try

 

[kornklown69]

FINALLY! @flar2 can't wait until you implement aroma like the rest of your kernels.

 

[bigant262]

Thanks for this! Didn't see this in the OP but does this encrypt?

Yes it will encrypt your data.

 

[godsafk]

I have been using your kernel for the N7 (2013) forever, Thanks for bringing your talents to the N6 community!

 

[flar2]

I will remove forceencrypt on the next version.

It's up to each user to choose, but I actually think encrypting personal data is a nice feature.

Why u need fast charge when this phone already got booster charge?

 

[Pilz]

Flashing now, I really liked your work on the Nexus 9

It is a nice feature but it causes problems with people who are decrypted because if they plan on decrypting again theyll have to wipe their internal storage which can be troublesome for users.

Definitely not going to get a faster charge than what is already built in. I'm pretty sure the nexus 5 had the same feature but it was not available on stock ROM or kernel

 

[Alex240188]

Fast charge means USB fast charge.
For instance most car charges are only detected as USB charge and will only draw 500mv even though the charger is rated higher. Fast charge allows you to override the default USB 500mv limit and allow a higher current to be pulled.

Solution: charge it at home

Edit: is it just me or what, I'm not getting deep sleep. Went back to stock and deep sleep. Nothing else changed. Anyone else? I know its alpha. Just asking.

 

[mhsbrian]

Bug Report : I flashed this on a AOSP rom and home and recents buttons disappeared, a reboot and davlik cache wipe didn't fix.

Mine deeps sleeps just fine. This is basically the stock kernel. The main difference is I built it with the linaro toolchain.

Absolutely not kernel related in any way shape or form.

Yea I figured it was my end. Just asking. I will try again. No biggie.
