[KERNEL] ElementalX 3/3T

[flar2]

So there is a android 9 oxygen beta. Wil we see a update for elementalx?

When source code is released

When source code is released

Okay thanks for the response and time you put in this kernel :victory:

 

[Kajzer4321]

Source code is released now

I think flar2 may be busy in building the kernel from the sources. Wait for some time, I think we may see update in the coming days. All we have to do, We have to keep patience.

Source code is released now

Pie sources are out !!

Thanks for the first pie custom kernel flar. Since no one else provided a feedback, I wanted to let users here know that the kernel is working flawlessly. It's my first time using your kernel so I've few questions if you don't mind answering.
1. I selected cfq in aroma installer yet the kernel is still using fiops when I checked. Any reasons?
2. What exactly is the function of gpu boost found in settings?
3. I also saw an option about disabling sound gate in aroma settings during kernel installation but decided not to tick it since I wasn't so sure. Can you just let me know briefly what it does and if it would bring about any benefits to wired earphone audio?

Apart from these queries, it's working fine so far and I'm looking forward to provide feedback shall any bug arise.

Set the scheduler in a kernel manager. It's difficult to apply settings from installer onodern Android.

GPU boost make the GPU frequency scale up quicker. Only need if you see frame drops or for gaming.

The sound compander setting is only needed if you want to use the speaker mod or if you need to adjust analog headphone gain. You won't see some of these setting unless you use EX Kernel Manager

Thanks. Would you take feature requests?
Can you implement user configurable zram to the kernel with default being off? I've found better performance in few games when zram is turned on. I'm currently using Franco's kernel app, I can consider buying yours too. Happy to help devs

Kernel update so fast. Bravo man.
I still did not flash stock 9.0.2 ROM because your kernel was not there. Now, I am happy.

 

[Akshat2100]

thank you @flar2

Unfortunately, it doesn't work with PixelExperience CAF 9.0 (20190509) ROM = black screen after OnePlus logo.

I have a hard time with restoring my phone in TWRP 3.3.1.0, after restoring it stops on Google animation from Pixel Experience ROM.

Solution:
- Dirty flash Pixel Experience ROM
- Flash Magisk (you can probably skip this step)
- Restore your backup in TWRP again
= WORKS

What is your AnTuTu score on OOS 9.0.2 with EX kernel 5.0 after OC?

cuz there's no available elementalx kernel for custom pie roms

Yes, but I'm still very interested to see how the performance comparison looks like between the latest OOS and other custom ROMs (in this case Pixel Experience CAF). Please share your results!

 

[abhibnl]

Why do you think Antutu score is the a good measure of performance on a device? My wife's OP6 has almost twice the score of OP3 in Antutu but I don't see 2x speed difference in app opening or other day to day tasks. Both on stock Pie OOS.
And why on earth would you OC a device who already has bad thermal management?

 

[FirstEver]

Why do you think Antutu score is the a good measure of performance on a device?

OK, I will use a thermometer (sarcasm).
Do you know what benchmarks are used for? (Do not reply)

Whatever the result,
Only one thing to say : thanks for your work, flar2 !
(OOS, 9.0.2)

Yup, I certainly do know what benchmarks are. it's mostly for fools who put their trust in "benchmark scores" over real life experience, strictly talking about mobile devices here.
Once you start focusing more on real life performance, you will notice how meaningless benchmarks are, especially Antutu, the piece of crap benchmark. I would still rely on Geekbench benchmark score for CPU Single/Multi core scores and to know how capable a processor is. But the reality is, the OEM skins and how Android is tuned by an OEM makes all the difference.
IMO, the custom CAF Pixel Experience should be significant smoother than OOS based Pie. Pie is just the first OOS "public release" build and isn't as polished as Oreo OOS is. If you don't need any OOS Pie features, I would suggest using NLOS or custom Pie ROMs instead. But don't put much faith in Antutu score, it's not the correct measure of how smooth or fluid your device will perform. Kernel optimizations, system optimizations, scheduler optimizations etc will result in much better overall system UI performance, which Antutu can't measure.

So happy and appreciative to see that you updated your kernel (super quickly) for oos pie!

I'm getting the best SoT and deep sleep out of any kernel I have tried on this device (and I've tried almost every single one) while still being super stable and with smooth performance.

I've been using your kernel ever since I got my Nexus 5 (and N7 2013). Got so much respect and appreciation for you and everything that you do. Thank you for all the years of sharing the fruit of your hard work so generously with us all. Cheers to you @flar2!

 

[hsquare]

Thanks a lot for the great work, @flar2 !

Will there be an express.zip-file of the kernel to flash after each OS update so that settings are being kept?
Thanks for your answer!

So this won't be working with LineageOS? Previous versions of ElementalX used to work with Lineage. Why not this one?
