ElementalX question. - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So this one is simple, does anyone else notice that the dt2w and other screen off gestures only work SOMETIMES? Is it something different on my device or is this kernel just a bit buggy sometimes? Thanks in advance guys!

Dt2w always working. But .... it seems that the tapping is time sensitive. Tapping 'slow' does not work.

If your ROM has it built in, which many do, then it is really buggy and simply setting dt2w in elementalx - it will still use ROM implementation. If you want to use Kernel DT2w, you must also set one of the sweep options too.

I'm on stock Android with ElementalX, I wonder why it only works sometimes. I have that enabled as well as sweep 2 sleep on. The double tap isn't always 100% responsive.

How are you activating dt2w?
If it is with an app may be activating google dt2w and not flar2's gestures. From what I understand, when dt2w is unreliable is if you are using the incomplete google code found in stock android. But flar2 wake gestures are much more reliable. I found double tap and sweep up to be 100% reliable as far as I noticed. I'm using the donate elementalx app to adjust the settings and elementalx kernel with cataclysm rom.

I meant one of the sweep to wake gestures.
if you're not finding elementalX gestures reliable, its a timing issue as someone else suggested.

It's through the ex kernel manager app. Maybe if I reinstall the kernel and add dt2w in the aroma installer. Thanks dude!

yeah both options just write the same thing to a text file, so it makes no difference.
The sweep to wake option only improves dt2w if you're using the "stock implementation" that wasn't actually implemented. Only if you've downloaded a stock rooted "custom" rom would you have this.
That said, i found dt2w very dodgy in my pockets when I had no screenlock on so I only use sweep now.

[MOD][KERNEL] Screen Dimmer

This tweak is no longer supported, use Touch Wake instead!
For notebook/netbook computers switching off the screen after a certain timeout is a simple yet effective way of saving battery life and such a feature is integrated into every OS. Android also has a screen timeout feature, however this suspend function also disables the touchscreen controls (and touchkey buttons) and you have to press the power button to re-enable the screen (plus, if you did not disable the lockscreen, you also have to unlock it again).
Since this is kinda annoying I tried to find an app which could disable the screen after a timeout and re-enable it on touch, however I could not find one. After some digging I found out that there is no way with the current Android API to disable the screen without simultaneously disabling the touchscreen controls.
So I took a look at the kernel source and after some trial and error it seems I have found a stable way to implement such a screen off feature.
To enable (disable) the screen dimmer pass 1 (0) to 'enabled' in /sys/class/misc/screendimmer. Pass the delay in ms (this is milliseconds; 1000ms = 1s) to 'delay'. The default state is disabled and a delay of 15000 = 15s.

BUGFIX:
I already have the first bug fix for you. The kernel was not compiling anymore without the screen dimmer activated in the .config. Besides that nothing has changed, so if you already have a compiled kernel with the screen dimmer running this will not change anything.

BUGFIX #3:
The user space access to the framebuffer is closed down before the screen is dimmed which makes sense and took care of one oddity I did notice. Also it should save some more battery.

Nice job, looks like a cool mod.
I'll release it under a experimental version of my kernel enabled by default to see how people like it.
One question, does the screen go off while I'm watching a video such as YouTube?

Yes, unfortunately the screen always gets dimmed even if the app has the FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON set. I took a look at the kernel source and it seems this flag is not passed on to the kernel and handled only by the Android OS; so the kernel does not know whether currently an app is open which has this flag set. Maybe I can think of something, but most likely this is a limitation which I cannot remove.
This will be amazing.
I have always wanted a way to wake up the phone without reaching over to the power button. I remapped my power button to the soft search key just so I didn't have to reach over to push the power button but it obviously didn't work to wake the phone. This is something I've dreamed of, to just touch the screen or the touch keys and it would wake.
Couple questions:
1) Is it possible that only touching the 4 soft keys will wake the screen (instead of the screen)?
2) How does this affect battery? Is a wake lock held? Does the phone sleep correctly to go into power saving? I'm assuming if the screen is touchable that the phone isn't sleeping and as such, this will be a battery drainer.

1) Currently the screen is re-enabled both when touching the screen and the touchkeys. I think that makes the most sense. However, one could easily modify the code to limit this to the touchkeys.
2) The phone is not put to sleep, only the screen is disabled. So compared to the normal screen lock this will drain the battery much quicker. This tweak is not intended as a replacement for the stock screen lock, but as an addition. You can set the screen lock to a value like one or two minutes, so it will properly lock the phone for example if put it in your pocket, while having the screen dimmer set to a lower timeout like 15sec, so the screen will be disabled and some battery saved if you just pause for some time for example because you wait for a download to finish or talk to somebody. So, if you use it right, you should save some amount of battery.
I found a bug after running this mod for about a couple hours. The screen would not turn on after leaving the phone for about half an hour. The touchkeys would light up and the when I clicked the volume keys I could hear the volume settings changing.

Wait for the kernel devs to implement this tweak. Then follow their instructions to activate the dimmer; they probably will supply you with some init.d scripts for convenience.

[Q] Capacitive buttons

Hi mates..
Currently I own an HTC Flyer, been an HTC fan and would like to try this beast as it seems amazing, one thing though:
Is it possible to use the capacitive buttons as a notification LED? Thats the only thing why I would prefer the Galaxy Nexus over this as in every other aspect I think this beast wins easily..
Much appreciated, thanks..
Good question. If you could flash the capacitive buttons when you have a pending message that would be cool. But I don't know sorry. Just supporting this question.
I'm thinking though that those lights aren't as efficient as a normal LED? Too much battery usage?
I have a Samsung captivate, which has similar buttons. certain kernels would include this feature with an app called BLN. Had to be baked into the kernel to work though
The streak had an app called streakled which worked as long as the phone was rooted.

Just only root? cause the post above you says it has to be in the kernel..

It is possible use the NoLed app for notification on the amoled display.
yes, just root. But there may have been differences in the way the captivate and the streak handled capacitive buttons which would allow the streak to have just root access but require kernel changes for the captivate. However, I dont know enough about such things to say what.

Hi, generally, it's possible using app called BLN control. However, that app requires a kernel support which is not yet stable for Note AFAIK.
I'm currently using NoLED which I do recommend - it works very well apart from a few glitches here and there (sometimes, the power button will not activate lock screen when NoLED notification is active - it would turn NoLED notification on/off. In that case I just have to use home button instead).
I would probably prefer BLN as it's simpler and should offer some battery saving against NoLED (possibly negligible) so I hope somebody makes a stable BLN patch for kernel. OTOH NoLED displays differently coloured icons for various events which is nice.

Do you know if BLN works with CF-Root kernel?as that might be the only kernel I would flash on my Note when I have it..

As I said, one of the devs tried the BLN patches but said the kernel was then unstable so they are not included in any of the currently available kernels AFAIK.
I'm currently on Abyss 1.2 kernel and I can so far highly recommend it. Let's see in a few days.

I can't confirm that. I'm using WidgetLocker and my NoLED notifications work fine (just tested with a missed call). The only slight hiccup is that after you wake up the screen with the notification the stock lock screen is shown instead of WidgetLocker. I've got a feeling there is probably a way around this - spotted a HomeHelper in the WidgetLocker settings that should handle the Home button in certain situations (presumably like this one). Haven't been bothered enough to mess with these settings yet

[q&a] [rom][m7][sep2014] aicp - 6.0 - kk 4.4.4

Q&A for [ROM][M7][SEP2014] AICP - 6.0 - KK 4.4.4
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer. Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:
I've had this flashed for some time on my M7_UL because it functions so beautifully.
I love it so much that I've forgiven it for making my phone crash 50% of the time when trying to answer a phone call, and at other random times about once a day. Not sure if the newest 7.0 release has fixed that or not.
One feature I'd suggest is enable some sort of default CPU O/C controls and maybe smartassv2.
EDIT: Didn't mean for this to end up in Q&A

Even though the rom now supports wake gestures, the Wake Gestures xposed module doesn't seems to recognize it. It says the kernel doesn't support it or it's not enabled.

You need to flash a kernel that supports wake gestures. Elemental x for example.
Wake gestures are not support in th Stock M7 kernel.
Elemental x is for sense based roms. Not for aosp. And if this rom doesn't support wake gestures, whats this?

The problem still remains the same. I used Elemental x as an example (mainly because I don't know which kernels support wake gestures for aosp roms.)
But the fact remain weather a Rom support wake gestures or not is irrelevant if the kernel running it doesn't support wake gestures they won't work. These gestures are an after market feature for the m7. Only the m8 supports Wake gestures officially.

Hi guys,
Just flashed latest nightly of lollipop.
Is the kernel included in the zip best for stability and battery time? Or is there an alternative to be recommended?
A few things I noticed :
Performance settings in ROM control leads to an empty screen that allows searching for all control panel items, is that intentional? I expected kernel tweaker?
Can the x pixel battery bar line be added?
Under settings, and screen, I have an advanced settings headline, but nothing below it? http://i.imgur.com/KYJWJP7.png
What is the status of lollipop in terms of mods that are ported? A lot from 4.4.4 is not ported yet, and xposed can't help due to art runtime. I am aware that lollipop is VERY different from kitkat, and I am not nagging about 'when will x and y be here', just a status from HQ about the transition from KK to LP
Does anyone know about customizing the soft keys and enabling logo key? And does the standard kernel support it?
Any way to customize toggles on kitkat?
I got the wrong apn settings from my carrier, but I guess that's their problem (or mine for running an unsupported Android version they probably do not detect correctly)..
Any way to remove carrier text and camera /call shortcuts from lock screen? So far I have found a guy who will mod system ui apk......
All in all lollipop is awesome, and running superb!! :good:
Thanks to all devs for their time and effort :good::good:

Battery line at the top of the display. On AICP KK edition it can be 1 to 4 px thick.

I miss the Xposed framework, and the rom options for customization, but I will be patient, lollipop is very different from kitkat, and the work being put into this by devs is truly amazing!
I have had a few instant reboots, that's all the problems with this rom so far, and that's really very acceptable

Since there is no official ParanoidAndroid build for this device I decided to make one. If you find this ROM useful please consider donating to a worthy cause. I have been blessed with a good income so I do not need money. But there are many worthy cause out there who could benefit from a donation.
THANKS
Rob Farnham for guidance
Patrick Campanale for guidance
Andre Saddler for guidance
mycontradiction for testing the crap out of the ROM and helping me research crap. It's been a couple years since I have built a ROM.
IMPORTANT
I am not responsible if your phone blows up or ISIS blows you up after flashing this ROM.
Please read before asking any questions.
Any issues do a FACTORY RESET and CLEAN INSTALL
I will not add features so do not ask. This ROM is built straight from the latest PA sources.

Great to hear, Juan. Hit me up on Hangouts if you have any issues.
thank you mate i will try when i get home
It's great to have more variety, thanks!
Really like it thanks a lot!
Smooth and light!
However I haven't been able to find the gestures and the B/W display features. I thought they were part of the ROM's features no?
Thanks a lot!

Let me look. I pulled straight from the source. I modified nothing. I may have to enable them in the device tree. I'll check my G3 and see what it looks like.

I don't see gestures on my G3 with PA 5.1.
No gestures and the B/W display features?
As far as I can tell gestures are not part of PA. I have PA on two other devices and neither of them have gestures. I don't even know what B/W display is but I'll check it out.

Ok thanks for checking.
I just saw on the one plus one page of the same rom that it includes "off-screen" gestures hence my expectation to see similar features on this phone.
As for the B/W display I meant the "approach for display" feature included in CM or Nexus experience rom that mimic somewhat the moto display.
Thanks for checking anyway!

I am sure I can add these features.
I have all of the gestures in place. One problem is that I cannot make them work with torch yet. For example, chop chop can only launch the camera for now. I am investigating fixing torch gesture.
I will upload a new zip with some gestures. Please test.
Ambient display "Wave" does not work. The gesture is captured in logcat but I see the following error.

I don't have a lot of knowledge in this matter but I believe there is an issue around the permission cause it says "Calling a method in the system process without a qualified use" and on my logcat with this feature working fine I don't have this line and the one following just after.

Also, I couldn't see LiveDisplay correct? (adapt screen temperature based on the day)
Or is it hidden in some menu?
Will need to flash CM to see what I am missing.

As far as I know the only gestures not working are the wave and that other one in the same area. I may just leave them out until I can get them to work.
All gestures and actions works great here!

Great to hear. I am building a fresh one. Let's see if it works.

Help with lockscreen / screen off tweak

I'm looking for ideas that are not "try gravitybox"
The goal is to fix the lockscreen coming up a second or two before the screen turns off.
Currently the lockscreen comes up just before the screen turns off.
Rom doesn't have any screen or lockscreen settings to tweak this.
Using SlimLP 5.1.1

Cosmetic issue, correct? You have answered your own question. CM and Nexus do not exhibit this behavior (don't know about the others). Gravitybox and likely a few other Xposed modules can indirectly fix it. What else is there to know?

Purely cosmetic yes
I'd run Gravitybox on the Nexus rom..
Since Slim is already modded more so I just don't want to load up the big suite for 1 feature & hope nothing else conflicts

A choice you'll have to make in absence of a fix from the rom maintainer. Be aware none of the GravityBox features are 'active' until you take action. Using lockscreen tweaks leave the remaining features inert.
