OnePlus-5

Update: ElementalX Kernel now supports Android 8.0 Oreo on official OxygenOS, HydrogenOS, Open Beta, etc. on OnePlus 3, 3T, 5, 5T. ElementalX Kernel now available for most of the Android devices. Any Android fan worth his salt will tell you the significance of a lively development community and how it can make or break a companyโ€™s reputation. With many companies failing to release their device trees and kernel sources on time or at all, OnePlus is now being called โ€˜the next Nexusโ€™ and with good reason too.

The company recently released Developer Resourcesย for its latest flagship- the OnePlus 5, and already has TWRP recovery and root available for the device. People always tend to flock to developer-friendly devices and the latest inclusion in OnePlus 5โ€™s arsenal, the ElementalX Kernel, further cements its position as a custom development oriented device.

For the Uninitiated, ElementalX is a custom kernel developed by XDA member flar2 that provides stability and optimizes your device at a core level and adds various other features to it. It must be noted that ElementalX requires its users to gain root access and install custom recovery beforehand.

Features Of ElementalX Kernel

Besides the obvious battery and speed optimizations over stock ROM, ElementalX Kernel V1.00 contains various other features that are mentioned below:

  • Easy installation and setup with Aroma installer
  • Wake Gestures support (sweep2wake & doubletap2wake)
  • Advanced color control
  • Sweep2sleep
  • Backlight dimmer
  • Underclock CPU
  • Adjust or disable vibration
  • FIOPS, CFQ, deadline, noop and SIO i/o schedulers
  • NTFS r/w support
  • Option to disable fsync
  • performance and power optimizations
  • Does not force encryption
  • Compatible with systemless root
  • Dash Charge support

While most of the features mentioned above may seem ordinary at first glance, the kernelโ€™s compatibility with system less root like SuperSU and Magisk,ย along with Dash Charge capability are a must have if you are one of those device tinkerers.
