flar, what are the recommended settings for MP-Decision and Multicore Power Saving? Noticed that they're both disabled by default.

Also, is the default GPU Max Frequency supposed to be 400? Selected no for GPU overclocking (I believe that the stock max is 266?)

p.s. Was fsync supposed to be disabled by default? Using Trickster MOD

You should be able to flash it without wiping everything. I'll report back here in a couple minutes after I do it.

I was the same way, and then I got so used to DT2W that when we lost it on 4.2.2 I found myself missing it immensely. The S2W in Beastmode was so finicky that I actually went back to just using the power button. Soooo happy to be back on ElementalX. I've had one unexplainable reboot thus far, and a weird issue with my data shutting off when Sleep Mode wasn't activated, but so far (knock on wood) things have returned to normal.

Looks like the data drop issues that many have reported have returned by using this kernel (at least for me). Twice now I've been using my phone when all of a sudden I lost connectivity. Sleep Mode is not activated so that's not the problem. Looks like I'll be updating my firmware to 2.15 tonight as I do NOT want to go back to Beastmode to fix this. Oh well.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rogcaw82:
You should not need to do the firmware update again. You did it in RUU, right? Not just flashing the H-boot. I don't know if that would even work but I am just checking.

That's unfortunate for you guys. I am not and have not had any issues with signal drops on the stock kernel, beastmode or with elemental.

I hope someone can help you guys out. I would start from the beginning of Turges stock sense 5 Rom. Backing up first and doing factory resets, wiping everything. I wouldn't restore from TB. I let google restore my account and it's worked perfect for me.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skeeterdrums:
I second this. Without doing a full reset (including not using TB ), I had these kinds of issues even on stock kernel.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skeeterdrums:
Gave this a look myself--one thing to note: this seems to work if you turn it on through something like Venom Tweaks. I checked the elementalx.conf file, and it does show BLN=1. However, it would not work until I set it up in Venom Tweaks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Pdj7969:
Well I came home and installed the firmware 2.15. I don't know why I always get nervous doing these things when I know it's gonna turn out alright in the end. Make it worse than it really is.

If not, I'll suffer through it because I really don't want to go back to Beastmode and switching Airplane Mode off and on is not THAT BIG of a deal for me.

So, this works for some people, not for others?

I was hoping the source released by HTC would provide a nice solid and fully functional base for me to add features to.

I'm not sure I can fix everything for everyone if I have to start mixing and matching into some kind of frankenstein kernel. Without the device it's extremely time consuming and I simply don't have the time.

What's the status of the ROMs and firmware on this device? Is there some kind of incompatibility?

I notice that Viper is based on 5.08, the kernel source released by HTC is 5.06. Does the kernel work well on 5.06 based ROMs?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ringnutz:
Honestly it worked excellent except for my complete loss of cellular network that required a reboot to come back. I could try to get a logcat but it seems to happen at random
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rogcaw82:
I'm on viper with updated firmware 5.08. I have no issues. I'd be willing to test for you and I am sure there are others as well that would too. If someone does not beat me to it I will flash the 5.06 Rom and kernel and see what happens.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] traesnaidensdad:
The 5.08 is T-Mobile Germany. Initial 4.2.2 release, so most of our builds are that. However Telstra just recently released the 5.06 build and we have one stock Rom of that build. Sorry I can't help with anymore info. Haven't used it. Thank you though. I'm not having any of the issues described.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
I searched around the forum a bit and see that there are lots of reports of instability and data drops on 4.2.2. So I'm thinking there is some incompatibility with radio or firmware?

Can those with the issues try some different network settings? Perhaps there is something in build.prop that needs to be changed? Fast dormancy?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] LQQKS:

So what are everyone's settings for MP Decision and Multi Core Power Saving?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] XNine:
Kinda odd, first attempt at installing 8.1 Alpha hung at 0.00%. Hard rebooted, Then installed with Ultra settings and tweaked the settings down to stock or under stock, no S2W or dt2w, then BICKITY BAM! Install went fine.

Looks like I've got full reception, wifi works, FastCharge is enabled.... Nice work as usual, flar! :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jeraldang:
For those having cellular issues, have you tried increasing your voltage? I installed the kernel with 900mv on the normal elementalx optimizations and had that issue. But I upped my voltage to around +50mv more to a min of 950mv and the issue has gone away. You guys will have to test out with your phone's favourable voltages I guess
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] JeremyNSL:
Just installed the alpha with no problems on Viper 4.1. Cel signal is fine now, but I'll have to try it for awhile I guess...

So was 192mhz removed for good? That seemed like a great way to improve battery life on previous versions of ElementalX.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Pdj7969:
Well, after flashing 2.15 firmware I am happy to report no random reboots or cellular drops thus far. Looking at GSam, everything is looking solid. Just need the kernel to settle and I'm sure the battery will be much improved as well.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Syk69:
No issues here. Thanks a lot for the great kernel!!

I think people need to make sure to have the latest firmware and things like fast dormancy off, right apn settings, turn data sleep mode off as well. So that no data issues happen. And clean install, don't undervolt too much for the random reboots.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Th3ArchAngel:
I think you might be on to something. Looking at the current build.props of the availabile 4.2.2 there are several inconsistencies in the rules. Fast dormancy is one of them. Also includes radios which some dont match att stock build.props rules. I only took a quick peek at them but there seems to be something asque all around. I'm basing this off the j.b 4.1.1 build.props which use the same rules as every other one xl att build.

Can confirm data drops on Viper 4.1 with all updated firmware using elemental settings

---------- Post added at 08:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 AM ----------

Just another bit of information. Flashed elemental with vanilla settings and battery showed 50 whereas showed 98 before flash. Flashed beast mode and again showed 98. I reflashed beast mode because a had a reboot
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] raymondn:
So I did a complete clean install of viper 4.1 last night, and wiped EVERYTHING! SD card, system, secure, full factory, everything... Once up and running, I loaded elementalx alpha 8.1, and left all the default options except setting voltage to 900 and turning off BLN.

I also have NOT restored any data from backups, except my SMS messages.

This morning I had completely lost my cell signal. Not just data, but no cell reception either. My WiFi WAS still working though... Switching airplane mode on and off numerous times did nothing, and I had to completely reboot to get cell service back.

One thing that was interesting though, was that I have a SIM pin set up, and normally when I switch airplane mode off and on, it will ask for the pin again, but this did not happen this time... So it's almost like it is having trouble initializing the SIM card or something...

---------- Post added at 10:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 AM ----------

Just a quick update... I just lost cell service again, and this time putting it in to airplane mode and back again worked! It asked for my Pin number, and then I got service back, WITHOUT having to reboot.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jimmydn90:
I'm using ViperXL 4.1 with its kernel, and my cell signal is lost about 2 3 times a day. How can this 8.1 Alpha help solving this problem? I really love ElementalX at the begining of using ViperXL....:x
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Pdj7969:
I have entered the 16th hour since I updated the firmware and still haven't had cellular drop (now that I've acknowledged it I'm sure it'll happen). Prior to the update I had lost service 14 times in 11 hours, twice while on a call. I also experienced 3 random reboots that I only knew were happening because the HTC splash screen is so bright it'd catch my attention. Hopefully I'm in the clear here. So glad to have ElementalX back. Only question....is ROW no longer and option? It's not available in the drop down list for me.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] raymondn:
I don't think it does... The only fix that I think is available at the moment is beasts kernel, but I want to stick with elementalx, so I'm hoping Falr (with our help) can fix it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] flar2:
Before I try fixing something in the kernel, I want you guys to try to figure it out with build.prop, radio and firmware.

I really don't think there is actually a problem with the kernel, because it is working fine for some people. In all the kernels I've ever developed, I've never had to mess with the modem source. It's HTC's source code as released, it should work. But it wouldn't be the first time HTC released broken source. Nevetheless, I've seen that people had problems even on the stock kernel. Which suggests to me the problem is something else.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] raymondn:
I'm with you Flar! I doubt that there is anything wrong with your firmware too, and everything else about it works great!!! What I don't understand is how flashing the beastmode kernel "seemed" to rectify it. Is there something different that his kernel uses?

I'm trying something different, to try and eliminate it... After initially upgrading the firmware to 2.15 (when I installed 4.2.2 for the first time) I then went back to the ATT 3.18 radio (as I had best results with that). This morning after my cell drops, I have reflashed the 2.15 firmware from Turges Stock thread, and it has changed my radio to version 1.31a.32.45.16_2_10.141.32.34aL . I'm guessing this is an updated radio, correct?

Maybe it would be useful to know which radio version people are having problems and success with?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] XNine:
I am on Viper 4.1, and not having any data or signal drops whatsoever. So, it's not the Kernel that's causing people's issues, it's something else entirely. Probably the fact that some didn't update the firmware, are on an old hboot, updated their Radio/RIl (which is explicitly warned not to do on JB 4.2.2 Sense ROMs) or are S-On (why the hell you'd be S-On with this device, I have no idea, since S-Off was achieved MONTHS ago.)

Flar, can you post the Alpha build to the OP so people can find it a bit easier?

Also, thank you for your time and effort. I went to sleep at midnight with 70% battery, woke up, had 60% at 7 AM, and have been using it to test photos, browsing FB and the web, and right now at 10AM I have 40% left, so your kernel IS doing it's job! <3

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ImagioX1:
It has been noted sooooooooo many times that to avoid data signal drop you must update your firmware. Honestly no one should report signal drops unless they have done this.

Some people also reported they didn't have signal drops after flashing the blackout kernel. IIRC THE blackout kernel is not based solely on the stock kernel source and thus eliminates the problem.

I installed this kernel on my AT&T one xl when it was released and it was fine till this morning when I had a complete signal loss that required a reboot. Reboot brought everything back to normal for about 2 hours then the phone rebooted twice and was fine again for several hours. I did not pay attention to signal loss or anything as I was working but it did lose signal when I checked some hours later.

I tried to make a call tonight and had no service, reboot fixed that and all was fine for a while. This has never happened before, very strange.

I was having problems with Viper 4.1 and Elementalx 8.1, with my cell signal dropping out completely. Sometimes I could cure the problem by turning airplane mode on and off, but other times I had to reboot.

Then I REFLASHED the 2.15 firmware over my existing 2.15 firmware, which also updated my radio/baseband back to the latest 1.31a.32.45.16_2_10.141.32.34aL (which is what comes with the 5.08 build), and since then I have had NO signal drops at all!

I would suggest anyone with the signal problems, should try and reflash the firmware again, to make sure everything is up to date.

That's your problem I believe... The 3.18 radio is not working correctly with the 2.15 firmware. Reflash 2.15 so that it updates the radio again and see if the problem goes away. It did for me...

I'm not sure what to suggest then... It seems that the beastmode kernel somehow cheats the old radio versions in to working OK, but with Elementalx I have only been able to fix it by using the latest 1.31a.32.45.16_2_10.141.32.34aL version that comes with the 2.15 firmware...
