Which rom & kernel? - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I just upgraded from Z3 compact to N5X. I was really satisfied with my Z3c, but I wanted a change. Now I'm trying to figure out which rom and kernel I should choose? Any recommendation? Priorities is battery life and performance (I'm not playing any games tho)
Also, should I flash the rom first and then the kernel afterwards?
Thanks a lot

I don't have my Nexus 5X yet, but when I get it I'll want to try Pure Nexus and DirtyUnicorns first. As for kernels, I'll try the ROM standard and ElementalX. So... just take a look at the dev section and find one or more that looks interesting to you.

Hi,
You can go with a optimized stock rom "xtrafactory" and optimzed kernel "franco". Good combination for battery life, stability and performance.
Additional advantage over non-stock, you can update directly new googles factory images without to do a full wipe (by fastboot flashing the correct img files).
Yes, first the rom.

Pure Nexus with ELementalX kernel is work!!!

Great, thanks.. I will try that combo as first and if I don't like it I will try purenexus & elementalx.
So when a new official update comes I can just flash that one without wiping or need of reflashing the xtrafactory rom? That would be great

I do it in this way:
When the google factory image is online i download the package and extract it.
Do first a TWRP Nandroid Backup and then you can update without wipe as follow:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-bullhead-bullhead-xx.xx.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-bullhead-bullhead-xx.xx.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
flash additional kernel, supersu and mods again.
Now you are up-to-date. When xtrafactory rom is online for the new build you can flash it and can be sure you have all correct img's. With this your battery life time will be little bit better, so no urgency.
You dont lose any data in this way.
Important instruction from the dev:
"FLASH DIRECTLY MY ROM WITHOUT ADVANCED WIPE WITH ANDROID M ARE UNNECESSARY AND WITH THE WIPE YOU BREAK THE ROM INSTALLATION"

I run PureNexus + xposed + ElementalX kernel (w/ the interactive gov tweaks) and it is incredibly stable and performs well.
The battery size isn't great on this phone to begin with, but with this rom i definitely get better battery life that I did with stock.

Thanks for info.. A lot of people are telling me that stock after March update with elementalx is as good as purenexus now. What do you think about that? Wondering if I should just go with root stock + custom kernel before I try any to see..

PureNexus and other roms all had the nearly the same performance issues as stock prior to the March update.
I would go with pure nexus since has the stock experience fully as well as a ton of customizations and features that you can enable IF YOU WANT TO.
For example, it has slim recents but it won't be active unless you enable it, has CMTE for themes but the stock theme is the default, and has custom power menu options but the default is same as stock, etc

Please Don't Quote This Post,
It's Just way too big and would make any comment look stupid,
Thanks
Just When You Thought Your Favourite Dev Is Out Of Ideas... He Comes Up With This
ok so alot are complaining how we can't flash kernel away from the pc among other things (which ill get to later ), (mostly @One-X-master)
so i looked for a way to get around this and found Kexec as the answer.
Wiki said:
In computing, kexec (kernel execution) is a mechanism of the Linux kernel that allows "live" booting of a new kernel "over" the currently running kernel. kexec skips the bootloader stage (hardware initialization phase by the firmware or BIOS) and directly loads the new kernel into memory, where it starts executing immediately. This avoids the long times associated with a full reboot,and can help systems to meet high-availability requirements by minimizing downtime.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
however, with that comes managing online hardware which is somewhat problematic,
thus that prompted few people to come up with an ingenious solution called Kexec-hardboot.
Kexec-hardboot:​This works by loading the kernel into memory and force restarting the phone with new kernel.​
All of that with some ramdisk tweak allowed me to set a kernel at boot and restart to it,
avoiding having to flash it in the 1st place
Updating the kernel is called flashing..
A Flash is also what precedes Thunder
its also refered to as Lightning, Thus I came up with the name Kernel Lighter
Lighter= To Set Things On Fire/To Ignite (The Kernel)
Thus this is a kernel igniter
I Know, i've got to much time on my hand.
If you have a smart name, please do suggest.​
Special Thanks:​ @Tasssadar: For His N7 Port, which made this port a breeze and for his help in debugging.
@Alex-V: Currently using his kernel as Base Kexec Kernel.
@Androguide.fr: For his recovery-less flash method.
@amarullz: For His AromaFM Source Code.
@LlabTooFeR: For His Stock Kernel.

Something Went Wrong:
Let say the phone wouldnt boot during kernel update after using the app,
the best solution would be to go back to stock kernel, look at the recovery flashable zips in Extras section,
If none seem to fit, try another custom kernel
if you still had no luck booting, you should try flashing that kernel through fastboot and see if it makes any difference.​
Warning!!
Note: All the zips provided are flashable through both The App & Recovery... but I recommend recovery
BUT DON'T FLASH THE KEXEC (KL.Zeus.img) KERNEL THROUGH THE APP or Recovery,

this works on both sense 5 and 4+
i had this running for almost a week now on sense 4+
and just moved to sense 5 and thought it will be a good time to release this.
The Stock kernel comes from sense 5 ROM
I know, but back to 4.1.1 is not a solution for me (Sense 5 is the dealbreaker with AOSP ROMs )
Another Question, if i change to AOSP, it will work too? or must we flash (an not realeased) Kexec AOSP kernel? (i ask not for me, i ask for everyone on AOSP with ORD xD )

you dont have to go back to 4.1.1, this will work with sense 5 rom
if you want to use AOSP you must follow the custom kernel guide.
Ahh, (my english is bad..) i think we misunderstand each other, i asked for an Sense 5 kernel.zip to try your "Flash kernel in Recovery" Solution, it exists not so many Kernel.zip with the "Flash Kernel Script" to flash the kernel in recovery... I hope its clear what i mean
this wiil be work on maximus 21 ?
Yes

im not 100% sure, but if you're looking for the zip, its in the 2nd post
the 1st time you must flash the kernel through fastboot AND zip through recovery,
later i will make an app that will work to replace kernels.
but even that all will require 1 flash through fastboot.
NOTE:
the zip contains to kernel, one that you flash in fastboot
one that will be copied to /data/boot/
the 1st is kexec which will boot the one in /data/boot/
Not clear enough xD, this (the kernel.zip) was not a request to you, it was an request to somebody to make me a flashable kernel zip, as an example repacked Alex-V kernel for Sense 5, to test this.
Its late here, so my explanation will suffer, sorry for that.

EDIT: Now we can flash kernel without a PC, testet and it worked.
So, we can flash kernels through the rom itself by replacing boot.img in data/boot and reboot, can't we ?

[ROM][Custom][Privacy Guard][Leds][UB LB] D5503_14.4.A.0.108_final

Hi, latest Sony 14.4.A.0.108 rom for you!
Features is inside screenshoots. Rom is rooted, have superuser, su, busybox...etc, just simple install propertly and enjoy rom! Bye!
Download old stable rom (update 5 is required after installing this rom!):
- https://mega.co.nz/#!dconlALD!EmOWK0lASSlyuTEkyFQBP8jRGpD3tbKWutD4JdHoJfs
Download new stable rom - final rom (03.jul.2015) (do not install any update with this rom!!!):
- https://mega.co.nz/#!AcxllSZa!dO-qrrgWuXeDrU4p_jmpkawZwz5fI83lWiHfD-KrjWQ MD5: 6a5e5de79ad7120db63fc9eb57974450
This final rom is one which I am runing daily, I have removed some boatwares but not all, removed only some which iritating me. So if you need some apks which is missing, just download from here -> https://github.com/munjeni/D5503_14.4.A.0.108/tree/master/system and add to the zip byself! This rom have some optimisations and fixes, dual recovery, cwm munjeni and twrp, to enter cwm hold volume down when blue light start blinking, or hold volume up for twrp when blu start blinking. I recomend linheart+row and my favorite theme aka black theme munjeni which is included only in final rom aka this one. This rom contain kernel from 157 with kernel modules and firmwares from 157... etc, in short my favorite rom dumped directly from my phone using romgen tool, so its tested and definitely stable, just install it right and carefully and enjoy!
* If you have root problems or problems remounting system rw, install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61696951&postcount=531
* If your choice was "debloat rom" trought aroma installer, I have marked google contact & calendar sync in removal list as bloatware, but if you realy want to debloat your rom but kiping google contact & calendar sync you must install folowing zip package -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61894795&postcount=573
How to install:
- first of all you must have your phone updated oficialy to the bootloader, baseband... etc and it must be from 108 rom (your choice how you can do it, but thats needed!) before you gona install our rom! You no need to be rooted since rom is for booth locked and unlocked bootloader!
- wipe data factory reset
- format system partition
- install rom
- install update.1 -> (this fix portrait retouch and give you China Photo editor) NOT REQUIRED ANYMORE !
- install update.2 -> https://mega.co.nz/#!NI4UkAgD!XPGU4WhDsfRXquzaL1wmQDaees-PrtF8SBpIOZgdn_Y (this revert dialog and toast style to stock one ;; fix for timeshift video) NOT REQUIRED ANYMORE !
- install update.3 -> https://mega.co.nz/#!lAZSUISa!09ca_GvuDHh8r9-5M3aAhc3TiDOePj26n79aa7VkTds (unhiden daydream option in settings menu) NOT REQUIRED ANYMORE
- install update.4 -> https://mega.co.nz/#!4JJFTYjZ!IjQsoCdJhSFBZFs_hyQrEHudBkaCZZfiyhG4-wHm7sc (usb serial support and ftdi sio ; new task killer) NOT REQUIRED ANYMORE
- install update.5 -> https://mega.co.nz/#!1FoUkLZB!SEpBPmiV7GC6D0CeXdej-neqwOsfMelrFTxY5teKFp8 (ntfs support) INSTALL ONLY IF YOU HAVE old stable rom, do not use with final rom!!!
- do not replace default busybox which comming with this rom since you will broke root!
For best experience I have compiled Lionheart cpu governor, you can use them in combination with row iosched to get very smooth ui and very good baterery life for daily usage! I have runing rom 13 hours + 1 hour with phone usage and have almost 88 percent batery power remain
4k is not working and allso I not going to get them working!(I have removed 4k from camera widget). I sugest you to not use any external camera mod since our one is totaly stock based and I have not replaced anything related to stock camera, every camera part is carefully patched, so if you want any camera mod than do not go here to report something which probably will not work after your replace or you get battery drain fast after replace! Allso if you have installed something which not comming from our rom than allso please do not report anything! Everything is tested and everything working very good!
If somebody have problems installing rom (error 7 during installation):
- Remove first 2 lines (ASERT) from updater-script than try again
Hoorraaayy, you are back.
Thanks for the update man, will download and try ASAP,
Also I was looking for an update for multiboot, that would be amazing.
Thanks for your great work, and looking forward to seeing more of you
Probably not since my microphone is broken and probably I must get new model soon (z3 mini)...soon. In any way I am sharing the best rom to all :laugh:
Thanks for sharing this ROM, looks very promising!! Is it based on the brand new Sony firmware 14.4.A.0.108 from August, or on the one that is available since June?
With best regards, maris
Yes, D5503_14.4.A.0.108_latest one from august
Nice to have you back, keep cool

I were in aex rooted with supersu before. I've downloaded the 27/06 old blobs aex new release and the OP new kernel. Once you have done that, go to twrp and make a backup (just in case), then flash aex, flash gapps, flash this kernel, flash supersu and reboot without wiping anything.
Let it boot (it will take five mins more or less), you are done

So if I am doing a clean flash, I will need The latest ROM zip, Latest GApps, The Kernel Zip and SuperSu. Right!?
And is the performace is better with the new kernel than just the stock rom on old blobs? If possible share antutu scores.

Root is needed if you want to use the app but my root is broken somehow, I have done dirty flash since very long time with AOSP Extended (Just wiped cache and dalvik). So update your rom and flash kernel.
If you are on miui you need to change the partitions and then factory reset + flash rom + flash gapps + flash kernel

I explicitly told you which ROM, Gapps & script you need to flash. Script won't work with MIUI! Their is no costume kernel for MIUI!
ROM:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/development/rom-lineageos-14-1-t3529851
Why this one? Because it's rock stable & far less buggy than MIUI. It comes with semi costume kernel (only really needed things ware add & set as defaults) which is also much more secure than others available. Same kernel is adopted by all newer costume ROM's. It's also semi costume ROM & contains only fixes like full support for dual SIM, VOLTE status bar indicator that you won't find in official LineageOS builds, it also uses firmware property libs for hardware directory from Xiaomi MIUI builds. It doesn't contain any added apps or anything else different from official LineageOS. Reed the first post carefully before flashing!
Pico Gapps are the smallest one's & only ones that don't come with Google Asistent which alone saves 100MB of RAM.
So from TWRP as I assume you already have it if you don't find also nijel8 TWRP & install it first. You first flash the ROM, firmware, Pico Gapps (all linked in the first post for ROM), power/performance script. Let it boot in settings find & enable hotplug install your apps & games & enjoy.

Gapps are Gapps. I told pico Gapps because they are smaller and lack Google assistant for sole gaming purpose that means 100MB free RAM. I don't know about RR (I doubt it) ask the author.

What do you mean?
Also, I have updated the top post with a telegram link for chat
Flashed this last night because DespairFactor's work is awesome and I had some suspicion about the stock kernel. Stock kernel loss the previous night was 1.4%/hr and last night's result with Despair was 0.8%/hr. Doing a screen on test comparison through my workday today so I'll have more to share later but this paired with EXKM is excellent so far!
do you need to flash anything else apart from the kernel img?

For now it is just the boot.img
Also, don't make the mistake I did and forget to root the image via the app first. Flashing the boot by itself will unroot you so just use magisk to root the image before flashing. If you're already rooted this can be flashed via EXKM without issue.
Damn, it's been a while. I think I flashed Despair's ROM on the Nexus 5..?
Anyways, running rooted (Magisk 23013) Despair kernel now atop the 036 update.
Smooth and hopefully less power hungry.
Build V1.01 is out now and source has been pushed
Just pushed build V1.02 this morning with some changes from Google's Android 13 branch
working great so far
Testing this kernel as well (rooted) ... will post findings ...
1.03 and 1.04 are released, source on github
There's a lot of activity in the telegram channel for those interested including tips for Wakelock blocking and other tips for battery life improvement. Feel free to join in and report your results using the kernel!
We find that we can only do Wakelock blocking on Franco Kernel Manager. EXKM doesn't work for Wakelock blocking so just wanted to mention that as well even though it is included in the kernel.

Tested it already, working great. Thank you for updating it
Note that 037 OTA just dropped. Don't know if there's kernel changes.
BTW, can Despair be flashed over the Verizon versions of the OTAs..?
