I think i know where your issue is with flashing the mods, at least if you talk about flashing renovate Plus mods, either way could be issue for any mods, i had it once, if says this when you try to flash mods *Signature check fail* if that's the case you need to to *Toogle signature check * = disable it. in CWM recovery , after that you can flash whatever crosses your mind :)

Anyone having issues with XM#106 and gaming boost like this>>>>> http://db.tt/1uAWw3YF

Tried everything I know that could possibly fix it!
[HTC One X] Shan89:
That's not an issue , you should've check what renovate boost does then check Xm governor settings, anyway the reason why it wont work is because XM kernel already uses really high values, if you manage to enable gaming boost it will overwrite the values, for more info about *gaming* read the link from my signature *the gaming part*

Re: [ROM] RENOVATE Final 1.1 | JellyBean | .31 | Sense 4+ | Stock look/Themed

Nice guide, but Gaming boost still shouldn't be like it is! And that guide is your opinion right? I prefer to use a game booster app rather than changing govs + scheds
[HTC One X] Shan89:
The guide isn't only an opinion , it's proven to work, you can ask anyone who uses Xm106 kernel or check Xm106 kernel thread. After all if you do what i wrote under this you'll see for yourself.

The reason gaming boost doesn't work and when it works on XM kernel (when you can enable it) it doesn't do anything at all because as i said earlier governor settings are already high , on another side you should really use for example SetCpu app and here is why:

IF lets say gaming boost app works , alright you'll get some boosting and battery drain right , but you're forgeting that if your default governor IS smartmax you wont GAIN any performance really , that governor is DEFAULT governor for renovate rom if you did use the repack that Mwilky uploaded. On the other hand if you do use lets say SetCPU and only do 1 thing 1 thing only which is switch from whatever governor your phone is at the current time into INTERACTIVE + deadline you'll gain more gaming / speed performance then with gaming boost with LESS battery drain. Get my point now why you don't need gaming boost with this kernel ? Btw even if gaming boost did work you'll get high temperatures quickly. I strongly suggest you do what i said , setCpu + interactive + deadline , when you wanna go back to normal usage : Smartmax + noop , and that's it.

Edit - Forgot to add, no matter what gaming boost you use , either that be hamdirs or any other from the play store , non can boost your *ondemand, or any other governor* or make it run games better then Interactive + deadline on Xm kernel. Trust me on this one.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
have to agree with the kid here...virtual tennis(yes i know not the best game to make the tests) on interactive and deadline is pure lethal..and that is with not the help of game booster...i actually felt i was winning the grandslam playing it..:D

Help

Hello all!

I falshed this ROM yesterday and really liked it a lot and intend to stay.

However, I have 2 questions:

1. Is there any function to wake up the screen with the volume button?;

2. I installed the kernel ncx Vd16d (repacked), the fm radio does not work in headphone?

Can anyone help me?

Thx!

The answer to your first question is in the Tweaks on top of the status bar (when you pull down to see notifications) inside the tweaks you can find the volume keys in Users tab :)
[HTC One X] MacSeoin:
Re: [ROM] RENOVATE Final 1.1 | JellyBean | .31 | Sense 4+ | Stock look/Themed

Best to just uninstall game boost and re-flash kernel right?
[HTC One X] Goku80:
regarding your first question have a look in two places...drop the notification menu down and press tweaks and go into user and have a little play there...or flash renovate plus and check if there is a mod there that you can do it...sorry i can not remember.....

second question i am not aware of that happening...

EDIT:Looks like Zero beat me to it

@Mac if you have not had it enabled it should not do anything..i got game boost still there and not touched it and the xm kernel with settings works fine..but if you want to uninstall it go for it

you use kernel with s2w and FM Radio works perfectly?

[HTC One X] Shan89:
When you enable it , it should freeze the app for around 2 sec for it to change the values, but like i said gaming boost wont work with Xm kernel cuz theres no need for it.

And no , no need to reflash the kernel, you can uninstall the gaming boost or remove it with some root explorer. As for reseting the values all you have to do is reboot the device. ( full reboot )

anyone else have similar experience?

-also is the apex launcher based on the free version or the pro version?

it seems its off the free version, as i dont seem to have notification count on the app icons, ie how many miss calls or unread msg.

Also may i suggest the alternative themed (included on the rom) screenshots? :victory:

That's weird sounds like you don't have system r/w enabled :confused: , maybe you should simply just reflash the rom :p Thats what i do when i quit trying to fix things lol.

Noop should be better for battery life, but deadline is better if you use your phone alot and scroll thru things alot. Loads freqs faster then noop. either way you can't go wrong with either. Like goku said , best to test yourself and see :good:

---------- Post added at 09:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 AM ----------

I have first comments/questions about XM106 (after some 11 hours :silly:).

- unplugged at midnight (100% battery), and went to sleep (me, and the phone, I hope);

- this morning @8AM battery was at 96%, which is great for deep sleep (wifi, and mobile network were off);

- at the moment (9:30AM), after a dozen SMSes it's at 80%.

- I recon it's settling down, because this I consider high drain (with low to no usage). Am I right?

- I just LOVE S2W and S2S!

- when waking, the phone doesn't accept ring pull upwards to unlock. It takes two-three attempts to unlock :(;

- at the same time, pulling shortcuts towards the ring works;

- XMister says it's a S2W thing. Still, it is annoying;

- Is a fast charge on by default, and what effect does it have to battery performance and life?

Finally, I agree that this looks like the best combination ever for HOX! I am looking forward to see mwilky's tweaks in xm governors...

I've been trying custom kernels on Renovate but never got it to work. The phone would boot normally but wifi and 3g never worked. Still, I repacked the rom using Thunder's tool, flased it in fastboot, cleared cache in fastboot, switched to recovery and flashed the kernel zip. Is that the right way to do it? Except the boot image you're providing is already repacked. Right? So flash boot in fastboot, clear cache, flash zip in recovery and reboot? :silly:

correct...

go into bootloader

fastboot erase cache

fastboot flash boot boot.img(whatever the repacked name is)

go into recovery

flash zip in recovery

reboot

Those are indeed the correct steps. I had a friend that had similar problems.... You know what was it? He had s-off, so each time he flashed the zip he was overwriting the boot.img :D

Try flashing the zip first.
