[KERNEL] [January 29] ElementalX-N9 5.17 (Nougat) 7.03 (Oreo)
- Thread starter flar2
- Start date
So Installed this last night. In the app, do I have to turn these features on using the blue power buttons?? Or are these features I selected during setup automatically on? Also swipe to sleep, how the hell does that work?
The settings take effect immediately.
The blue circular button is apply on boot.
Sweep2sleep is activated by sweeping alng the edge of the screen, where the nav buutons are.
So there is no need for me to activate the blue buttons then, correct? Thanks for the swipe to sleep information!
You activate the blue buttons if you change the setting and need it to stick whenever the phone boots up.
If I am already on the stock ROM running v4.0.3 (flashed TWRP, then v4.0.3, then SuperSU v2.5.2 to get root) is it fine to flash 4.0.4 over 4.0.3, or should i re-flash to stock factory image and then flash TWRP the kernel and re-root?
Just dirty flash the new kernel version and you should be ok, no need to do anything else, what you have is exactly the same as what I have, just pay attention when the installer gets to SElinux part, in my case I chose permissive in order to install V4A. No need to re-root either, SuperSU survives.
Hope it helps.

It's okay to flash 4.04 over 4.03
You don't need to reflash /system
The only concern is if you are using the latest stock (MRA58N) and you flashed Chainfire's boot.img, then you should flash the factory boot.img. Chainfire's boot.img uses MRA58K. Not a big deal, but might as well have everything up to date.
@flar2 and you all 
Which set of param would you advise to render your kernel more battery friendly beside lowering maximum freqs ? (Not gaming)
... such as a set of param for your governor ?
Should we see an effect by changing to interactive ?
What about interactive using Fire-Ice kernel values (if applicable) ?
Any comments are welcome !

Flashed 4.04 today, made my nexus 9 laggy. Reverted back to 4.03 and its back to normal.
There were no changes to the kernel that would have done that.
I didn't see any difference going from 4.03 to 4.04, business as usual, all snap and zero lag.

So nobody to comment ? Not I even the dev of this nice kernel !?
Well OK I did not bought your app .... but, I would have think more people would be curious to know!
To report back after a full 24h of use : everything works nicely. Well, not as smooth as with default settings, but I have had absolutely no notable lags, just few shutter.
The best part is that I have 4h of SOT (browsing, email, video, kiosque, ...) and still have 43% left of battery. For the same SOT with default settings and a similar usage I had 10% left yesterday!
This is a freaking 33% difference!

My recommendation is always the default settings, I ship what I think is the best balance.
Ok thanks!
But not all users are the same

Works great 4.04 on stock cf 2.42 su
Super legit kernel flar I see many others use lots of your commits which says a lot! I bought the n9 after getting my 6p on sale from htc. Since my nexus10 isn't getting any legit mm I figured wth right? Kernel development isn't trivial exactly so I appreciate the time you must put in. The n9 definably needs all the help out can get with this soc. I'd think it would be different than qc socs in many ways... Esp the graphics cores... How different is it really? I mean is it like night and day or just a little different as far as kernels go? I'm only asking because it's interesting and you seem to have done a bunch of them. :victory:
Nice installer and se policy works great.

Managed slightly more than 6h sot with 10% left! @flar2: your kernel is pretty stable. Thanks!
Now trying with elementalX for
gboot_min freq = 1020Mhz
Input_min_freq = 612Mhz
@flar2 is there a place where elementalX governor parameters are explained ? Wasn't t able to find!
Thanks
