INSTALLATION

1. Install zip from recovery
2. Follow the instructions, if you don't know what to do, use the preselected options
3. Reboot

For installation, it seems a lot of people have finicky phones when it comes to flashing stuff with aroma.

If the installer gets stuck at 0% then you need to reboot to bootloader and do fastboot erase cache

If the installer reboots at 10%, you need to do a nandroid backup of /system partition and restore it. I think a dirty flash would also work.

After you install it, if you get a black screen or stuck at the HTC logo, no need to worry. Just hold down the power button untill the capacitive buttons start flashing and the phone restarts. The kernel installed correctly.

As always, with overclocking, not all phones can handle all frequencies. If it doesn't boot, or randomly reboots, or freezes, your first course of action should be to reinstall with a lower frequency.

NOTES:

ElementalX Configuration File
Your choices in the Aroma installer are used to build a configuration file. The config file is located at /etc/elementalx.conf. You can edit this file to change kernel settings. Whatever is set in this file will take effect when the device is booted (unless other scripts or apps interfere!)

The settings can be changed by editing /etc/elementalx.conf and rebooting. Advanced users can apply settings on the fly by running /etc/init.d/99elementalx as root.

There is no need to edit /etc/init.d/99elementalx. All settings are configured in /etc/elementalx.conf.

If settings are not sticking, make sure the file permissions for /etc/init.d/99elementalx are set to execute. Every time the settings are applied, a log file is created at /data/local/tmp/elementalx-kernel.log. Problems can be diagnosed by looking at the log file.

Please check to see if any /etc/init.d scripts or apps (such as Kernel Tuner or Trickstermod) are interfering with your settings.


ElementalX Log File
Every boot, a log file is created at /data/local/tmp/elementalx.log. This file shows the date and time and all settings that have been applied. Use this to verify and troubleshoot configuration options. Also shows your PVS bin.


Kernel Tuner/TricksterMod/Venom Tweaks, etc
You don't need these apps because the ElementalX installer sets everything up automatically, but if you want to check or change settings, you can use these apps. Just be aware that some of them (e.g. Kernel Tuner) are set by default to apply settings on boot, which can interfere with the settings you chose in the ElementalX installer.

Note: on the most recent versions, fauxclock interferes with GPU overclocking unless you disable pnpmgr (not recommended)


Overclocking
Overclocking (or underclocking) is optional. The installer lets you choose a maximum between 1134MHz (underclocked) and 2160MHz (overclocked). You can set the maximum frequency individually for each CPU core in the installer. Whatever frequencies you chose in the installer will be set at boot for each CPU. Not all devices can handle overclocking. The stock maximum CPU frequency is 1.7GHz. I recommend a mild overclock, like 1836MHz. Clocking higher creates heat and wastes battery for very little performance gain.


CPU voltages
The installer allows you to choose from several undervolting options. These automatically undervolt the lowest frequency (384MHz) where the CPU spends most of its time. The voltages for other frequencies are assigned based on the PVS bin of your phone. CPU voltages are fully customisable with apps such Kernel Tuner or Trickster Mod, but I recommend leaving these other voltages as-is unless you are prepared to do a lot of testing. Be careful, lowering voltages can cause instability. Generally, having reboots while the phone is asleep is a sign that your minimum voltage is too low. The minimum voltage allowed is 700mV.

Be careful with undervolting. If you have bluetooth or sound issues, try increasing the minimum voltage.


Minimum CPU frequency
The minimum CPU frequency in this kernel is 384MHz. This chip was not designed to operate below 384MHz and I am respecting Qualcomm's design decision to have the CPU idle on pll8 at 384MHz. There is a way to achieve lower frequencies using the high frequency pll, however, this is likely to cause instability and inefficient operation (battery drain, ui stuttering)


GPU frequencies
You can choose stock GPU frequency of 400MHz or overclock. If overclocked, you can choose from a range of frequencies up to 585MHz. Overclock frequencies can be changed on the fly, but you can't use the stock frequency. Conversely, if you choose stock GPU, the overclocking frequencies will not be available. To change between stock and overclocking mode, you need to reinstall. The same voltages are used no matter if the GPU is overclocked or not.


GPU Governor
The default GPU govenror is ondemand. It works well and is recommended for best balance between performance and batter life. The simple governor is also available, but ramps up the GPU frequency much quicker than ondemand, so may impact battery life. The governor can be set in /etc/elementalx.conf


Thermal Control
I've added kernel based thermal control and throttling. HTC's thermald is very aggressive and throttles the CPU frequency pretty much anytime you use all four processors. This kernel based implementation allow better performance while still protecting your phone from overheating. There are three levels of thermal control, which can be chosen in the installer or changed in /etc/elementalx.conf. The default option is recommended. With the run cool option, your CPU will run about 5C cooler than default while under heavy load. With the run hot option, the CPU will run about 5C warmer than default under heavy load.


MPDecision settings
There are three mpdecision settings available: battery saving, stock and performance. I think they are self explanatory. These can be changed in /etc/elementalx.conf


Max screen off frequency
This is optional and must be selected in the installer. I recommend enabling it. This limits the max cpu frequency while the screen is off. The default max screen off frequency is 702MHz, which is a good balance between limiting the voltage/frequency and the time required to complete tasks while the screen is off. You can adjust this with applications such as Venom Tweaks.


I/O Schedulers
The default i/o scheduler is ROW. Other available schedulers are ROW, CFQ, FIOPS, SIO, NOOP and deadline.


Installing a new ROM
If you install a new ROM, it will probably replace this with the stock kernel and will definitely overwrite /etc/init.d/99elementalx and /etc/elementalx.conf so you will lose your settings and certain features. So always reinstall the kernel after installing a ROM.


Wake Gestures
This is a new feature similar to the Motion Launch Gestures on the HTC One m8. Requires one of the following Xposed modules:

Sense 6 Toolbox: Sense 6 Toolbox - Download (most options for HTC)

Wake Gestures: [APP][XPOSED] Wake Gestures v1.2 [07/09/2014… | Xposed General | XDA Forums

Set /sys/android_touch/wake_gestures to 1 to enable input events for wake gesture actions. Set to 0 to use traditional sweep2wake or doubletap2wake (wakes up the phone and turns on the screen only).

Note that if you enable wake_gestures, nothing will happen if you don't install one of the Xposed modules.


Sweep2wake

Sweep2wake allows you to turn on your phone by swiping your finger across the screen. There are four sweep actions that will work

Gesture........Value
Sweep right......1
Sweep left........2
Sweep up.........4
Sweep down....8

Add up the values for each gesture you want to enable and put the total in /sys/android_touch/sweep2wake. For example, to enable all gestures, the value is 15 (1+2+4+8). To enable sweep right, sweep left and sweep up, the value is 7 (1+2+4)

/sys/android_touch/sweep2wake


DoubleTap2Wake
DoubleTap2Wake (DT2W) allows you to wake the device by double tapping in the bottom inch or so of the screen, above the capacitive buttons. You can edit /etc/elementalx.conf to change the setting on boot.

/sys/android_touch/doubletap2wake

0=disabled
1=enable doubletap2wake (bottom of screen only)
2=enable doubletap2wake (full screen)


Logo2Wake
Logo2Wake (L2W) allows you to sleep or wake the device by long pressing the HTC logo. You have to press just slightly above the HTC logo. The screen will automatically turn on or off with a long press. You can edit /etc/elementalx.conf to change the setting on boot.

/sys/android_touch/logo2wake

0=disabled
1=enable logo2wake


Pocket Detection
Pocket detection protects against accidental wakes while S2W, DT2W or L2W are enabled and the phone is in your pocket. Pocket detection uses the proximity sensor. A few people have a problem with their proximity sensor that makes DT2W not work, so I've made an option to disable pocket detection. You can edit /etc/elementalx.conf to change the setting on boot.

/sys/android_touch/pocket_detect

0=disabled
1=enable pocket detection


Logo2Menu
Enabling Logot2Menu (L2M) allows you to use the HTC logo as a menu button. You must press just slightly above the HTC logo. You can edit /etc/elementalx.conf to change the setting on boot.

/sys/android_touch/logo2menu

0=disabled
1=enable logo2menu


Button Light Notification
With Button Light Notification (BLN), the capacitive buttons will blink on and off when you have a new notification. As soon as the screen comes on, BLN is canceled and the lights will no longer blink until you have another notification. Please note that if you have your screen set to turn on when a message arrives, you will not see the buttons blinking because once the screen comes on, the button light notification is canceled. You can edit /etc/elementalx.conf to change the setting on boot.

/sys/class/leds/button-backlight/blink_buttons

0 = disabled
1 = BLN enabled


NTFS and exFAT support
This is for anyone who wants to use OTG to connect a USB stick or portable harddrive formatted with Microsoft's NTFS and exFAT filesystems. You will need Stickmount or a similar app, HTC Sense does not automatically detect these filesystems.


Other stuff
This kernel supports many game pads and controllers, including PS3 controllers and some X-Box controllers. It has full OTG support. A refresh rate of 60Hz for HDMI output allows you to play games on the big screen without choppiness. CIFS support is built into the kernel. Faux sound and color control are also supported.

Thread Originale (link)​

 

Io al momento monto una viperone 7.0.1

Non ho capito se l'elemental è una rom (quindi sostituirebbe la viperone) o un modulo o qualcosa che estende le funzioni della rom che monto

Spiegatemela per favore

 

se hai la Viper ONE 7.0.1 hai una ROM su Base SENSE 6 con Android 4.4.3
quindi scarica questa versione del Kernel :

Sense 6 Android 4.4.3
ElementalX-m7-17.0-Sense

ElementalX è un Kernel modificato
il Kernel è solo un delle componenti (ma il più importante) che si trovano in una ROM
quindi sostituendolo si andrebbe a modificare solo una parte della ROM (e la Viper rimane)
... proprio perchè la ROM rimarrebbe sempre la stessa
è importante conoscere la versione base della ROM stessa
se la Base ROM è Sense 6 con Android 4.4.3
si può sostituire il Kernel con uno realizzato per la medesima base (Sense 6 Android 4.4.3) !

ti ho già spiegato che si installa da Recovery allo stesso modo di una ROM !!!

 

sweep2wake -> enable (passando il dito nei tasti softtouch spegne il display
DoubleTap2Wake -> Fullscreen ma non si accende lo schermo da schermo spento con il doppio tap

e i 2 file apk che mi avevi consigliato nell'altra discussione non me li installa

Mi dice esattamente "L'applicazione Installazione pacchetti si è bloccata in modo anomalo"

 

prova il doppio tap sul simbolo home o cmq sui tasti touch !
e comunque prova a riavviare il telefono

mi pare più un problema della Viper e dell'applicazione "Installazione pacchetti" altri apk riesce ad installarli ?

 

Si lo fa con tutti gli apk, appena testato

Ok cambio rom, mi sono già stufato di sti problemi,
tutte le applicazioni venom tranne quella tweks vengono bloccate in modo anomalo
l'installer di pacchetti si blocca in modo anomalo
le impostazioni dice che si blocca in modo anomalo all'avvio del telefono ma lo apre tranquillamente

Ora non so che rom installare per rimuovere definitivamente la viperone (che da tutti sti problemi)
trovando una rom che mi rifaccia avere voglia di usare in continuazione il telefono, la viper in questi giorni che l'ho avuta me l'ha fatto usare molto di più del mese in cui ho tenuto la miui (e non avevo questi problemi)

So che voglio avere a questo punto l'elementalx (adoro queste 2 funzioni) ma non so cos'altro possa fare XD

potrei fare cyano11s+elementalx? (volendo la grafica sense si può mettere?)

 

tutti i suddetti problemi non sono normali in ViperROM
direi che potresti anche riprovare con la Viper
ovviamente dopo un FULL WIPE ... poi flashi nuovamente il kernel !!!

ElementlX non è compatibile con la CM11 per i motivi che ti ho detto prima
l'interfaccia SENSE non è compatibile con altre ROM !!!

se vui provare una ROM SENSE diversa dalla Viper puoi dare un'occhiata a

[h=3][ROM] Android Revolution HD 71.1 | High Quality & Performance | Android 4.4.2 KitKat |[/h][h=3][ROM] MaximusHD | 30.0.0 | Android 4.4 KitKat | HTC Sense UI 5.5 | Fast&Stable | Custom OTA[/h]

 

info installazione elementalx 20.1

Ciao a tutti.
Ho cercato in giro ma non ho trovato risposte esaurienti. È possibile installare l'ElementalX su rom stock? Nel mio caso la 20.1 su Android 5.0.2
Se si, nel caso volessi aggiornare tramite OTA cosa succede con il kernel?
Il mio M7 è rooted e S-OFF.
Grazie

 

Dovrebbe essere possibile, prima del flash sempre un backup
Con aggiornamenti OTA hai bisogno pero' del kernel stock, e soprattutto col root non devi aver levato nessuna app di sistema preinstallata.
Quindi direi che all' arrivo di un ota, ripristini il backup(che ha il boot stock) e fai l' aggiornamento.

Vedo che il thread e' da aggiornare, provvedo, ti ho spostato qui perche' l' argomento e' elementalX

 

come già spiegato da kalel77

Sense 6/7 Android 5.0.2
ElementalX-m7-20.1-Sense

è compatibile con tutte le ROM (stock e non) su base SENSE 6/7 con Android 5.0.2
se rientri in questi parametri sei apposto ...
ovviamente, come sempre, anche io consiglio vivamente un backup prima di qualsiasi modifica

per ricevere ed installare gli aggiornamenti "OTA stock" è necessario avere una ROM "completamente Stock"
quindi nessun Kernel modificato, niente ROOT ... insomma nessuna modifica a "system" del telefono !!!!!

e comunque dopo un aggiornamento tramite OTA il nuovo kernel (se contenuto nell'OTA)
andrebbe a sovrascrivere quello dell'ElementalX e quindi quest'ultimo andrebbe reinstallato !!!

 

Scusatemi ragazzi ma ho fatto tutto di fretta da cellulare... poi mi sembra che dalla vostra App non ci sia la funzione "cerca"
Comunque, appena posso, faccio backup e installo ElementalX 20.1 e poi vi faccio sapere.
Ma è possibile reinstallare solo il kernel stock se le cose non andassero come mi piacciono? (semplice curiosità)
Grazie

 

si, basterebbe estrarre il boot.img da un OTA o una RUU, il problema che un kernel mod lascia sempre qualche "traccia" nel sistema, io opterei per essere tranquillo per un backup

 

Installato ElementalX 20.1 sulla stock, tutto perfetto. Ho impostato i valori di clock su stock per essere sicuro e abilitato il DT2W

 

Perfetto, se posso consigliarti, prova a fare un minimo di Undervolt generale, partendo da un -20mv e scendere piano piano ma senza applicare all' avvio(se dovesse essere troppo e si riavvia, all' avvio torna in default e si avvia regolarmente). Puoi usare una qualsiasi app per la gestione del kernel
Io ad esempio su m8 con elementalX sono a -50mv, dura di piu la batteria, minori temperature...

 

Grazie Kalel77, ma mi spieghi perché questa cosa di fare undervolt dell' M7? Ok per la longevità della batteria, ma le prestazioni? Posso usare una qualsiasi app per la gestione del kernel... ma quale?? LOL! Ho cercato in lungo e in largo... sono un po' niubbo su questo

 

Le prestazioni non vengono intaccate assolutamente almeno che tu non faccia un massiccio underclock del processore(diverso da undervolt)

per l' app, digitando "kernel" nel play store, la seconda in ordine e' validissima e si chiama kernel toolkit

 

Grazie per le delucidazioni, non avevo mai provato se non impostandolo direttamente da Aroma. Sto usando Kernel Adiutor e mi trovo benissimo, impostato con -50 mV, con Kernel Toolkit non trovavo le impostazioni per l'undervolt

 

erano nell' ultima scheda, ad ogni modo una vale l'altra.
prima di impostare i valori all' avvio testa bene la stabilita' del sistema

 

Se intendi l'MPU voltage, mi dice "voltage interface not available in your kernel"...

 

Con elementalX???? Parli dell' app che ti avevo consigliato? mi hai appena detto di aver fatto -50
