This \u201dkernel\u201d we are referring to is the major link that helps communication run smoothly between the hardware and the software of the mobile device. So, in order to substitute the kernel, you will need a bootloader, root and also a personalized recovery installation.<\/p>\n<p>You can either choose the preset alternative with default elements, or you can play experiment with the settings and change them by hand. The latter is a more avant-garde alterative and it is not an easy one to handle.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.battaussie.com\/hp\/hstnn-c54c-battery.htm\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1018\" src=\"https:\/\/www.battaussie.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/hp-hstnn-c54c-battery.jpg\" alt=\"hp-hstnn-c54c-battery\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.battaussie.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/hp-hstnn-c54c-battery.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.battaussie.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/hp-hstnn-c54c-battery-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nQuick tips on how to set-up Elemental X kernel :<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Go to ElementalX website\u00a0on your Nexus 5 and set-up the kernel for the version of Android you are currently operating on.<\/li>\n<li>Switch off your device and begin the reboot process to the bootloader. You have to press&amp;hold power as well as Volume Down. Hold these buttons until you notice the screen with a tiny robotic figure.<\/li>\n<li>By using the volume keys you must point up Recovery mode and then simply hold power to validate the operation.<\/li>\n<li>When you Nexus 5 is in recovery mode, you must find the kernel you just downloaded. The whole procedure will depend upon the type of custom recovery you set-up on the device. \u00a0You have the ClockworkMod recovery and the Team Win Recovery Project.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you think this is too much or too complex, please try the following gimmicks:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Set \u201csleep mode\u201d to 15 seconds<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you turn off\u00a0your screen, you will significantly improve battery life. Normally, your phone\u2019s display should shut down, but this is not working as it should. So rather then leaving the screen of the phone in\u201d on\u201d mode for a couple of minutes, make sure it stays \u201dawake\u201d for just a few seconds. You can set it to 15 seconds, thus improving you <a href=\"http:\/\/www.battaussie.com\/dell\/r795x-battery.htm\">Dell r795x battery<\/a>\u2019s life span.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Make sure your Nexus 5 is updated<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you upgrade, you automatically improve your battery. If you have the Android 5.0 Lollipop, you actually add 10% to you battery\u2019s life span. Not bad at all. So make sure you constantly search for these updates. For this you must go to Settings\u2014About phone\u2014System Updates.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Battery<\/strong><strong> Saver: on<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is a great option for all you Nexus 5 users. This solution will immediately make major improvements. But it will cost you a few features, for instance the vibration mode of your phone will no longer function, or you won\u2019t be able to synchronize your accounts. But if you come to think about it, it\u2019s a sacrifice worth making in order to have a long-lasting mobile device.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Switch off the luminosity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Of course the display of your phone is a pretty strong source of battery dissipation. So in order to fix this, go to Settings\u2014Battery. If you have the tendency to believe that you can fix this by tailoring the optimal luminosity, you\u2019re wrong. This is because the phone\u2019s light sensor hasn\u2019t got the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.battaussie.com\/toshiba\/satellite-a205-battery.htm\">Toshiba satellite a205 battery<\/a>\u00a0capacity to readjust to this kind of fix-up. So instead, choose the lowest luminosity level, one you feel comfortable using.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bluetooth&amp;Location Off<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is a pretty basic rule: Bluetooth must not be active, when it is not used. With the Location feature it can be pretty tricky though. This is because you use it for all kinds of services and even applications. But this should also be off for the sake of your smartphone battery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nexus 5 &#8211; \u00a0from a hardware standpoint is essentially the excellent LG G2: a phone we said had great hardware and crap software.
