Don't be such smartass... :) I know where is that search button... ;)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] dovah:
Then you should have used it ;)

Anyway, just dropped in to say a big thank you to flar, for his amazing kernel, and app! They make my M8 a much better experience!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] metaphz:
I try to sign up but it says it's no longer available :/
[One (M8) Original Android Development] flar2:
Sign up for the app beta?

It can take several hours to become available, just keep trying.

It wasn't disabled for sure. But as far explained below, it checking once a day. I missed this point ?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Pavelol:
Hi Buddy.

I have noticed a mighty improvement in battery life since this update.

If you remember my massive battery drain in 1.03, now with this update my m8 finally sleeping tight at night :)

tomorrow i will add gsam battery monitor impressions :victory:

Good job and keep it going!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] boe323:
It does work but if I try and use a script in the init.d folder ....that's when it doesn't work, everything else in the folder executes, and the readahead script works if I manually execute, don't make sense.

---------- Post added at 11:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------

Does anyone have a readahead script other than android revolutions I could try?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] smeejaytee:
Just flashed 1.0.4 and it seems a little smoother good thanks
[One (M8) Original Android Development] moz68:
New to M8 and still learning and Please forgive me if this has been asked before but can this Kernel be used with AOKP or CM11 based ROMs? Thanks for your help!!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] old.splatterhand:
No. Sense or GPE.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] dzaster89:
This kernel is only for sense and gpe based roms. Do not try to flash on aosp rom your phone might self destruct.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] moz68:
Thanks so much. Is what I thought.

All the Best!!!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] nodiaque:
kernel doesn't do squad on battery drain. You must have had something in the cache/dalvik that caused that and flashing the kernel (which erase these) cleared the problem. No drain here with 1.03, 1.04, 1.02 or stock, it'S all the same unless you played with the voltage or OC
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Skinpipe:
yeah something in cache/dalvik nothing to do with wakelocks:eek:
[One (M8) Original Android Development] nodiaque:
and you think some bad stuff in cache/dalvik can't make wakelock? I have the exact same count of wakelock with 1.04 then 1.03. Wakelock are from apps, not the kernel itself. Apps make call on the device and when it requires kernel access, the kernel make it.

I have about 2 days of battery with 1.03.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] laill:
The battery life is pretty cool with the use of NlpUnbounce module. I can have 1% per hour with 4g/WiFi On and tasker checking for location every ten minutes.

I can hardly imagine my life with out this kernel lol.

Cheers,

[One (M8) Original Android Development] flar2:
Update!!!

Sense 4.4.3:

ElementalX-m8-1.05-Sense

Changes:

-add backlight dimmer option

-update to fauxsound 3.6
[One (M8) Original Android Development] stathis95194:
Thanks a lot [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

Just flashed and enabled backlight dimmer. Can you explain a bit more what it's all about?

Thanks again!!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] grgsiocl:
Quote from ezeekels : " Touchkey backlight dimmer turns off the softkey backlight at the specified interval. It will turn backon (temporarily) when you touch the menu buttons.*The battery savings are negligible. It is more of a user experience tweak. Some people prefer the way the phone looks with them off, particularly when watching movies. It can also be useful for bln users, who may prefer the keys to light up only when there is a notification."
[One (M8) Original Android Development] wikie:
Krass, I've installed the update then gave it to me the whole system reset.

I had to register newly.

Luckily I had a backup.

Ok has done,'ve accidentally Data with gewipt, sorry sorry.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Forsaked:
My complete Autobrightness Setting is broken after flashing 1.05.

I doesnt chose the Autodim Feature in the Installer, but my complete Screen appears darker now! :/
[One (M8) Original Android Development] smeejaytee:
My screen seems darker too but I presume that will save battery so I'm not complaining atm i can still see everything ok
[One (M8) Original Android Development] flar2:
I have the backlight dimmer setting reversed in aroma. Here is a new version that fixes it.

The backlight dimmer option makes your screen dimmer. It's for people who think the screen is too bright. It also allows you to set the minimum brightness lower (as low as possible without turning off the screen). Be careful, as this may make the phone difficult to see in bright sunshine.

It will save a bit of power. I don't know if it's enough to make a difference.

Download:

ElementalX-m8-1.06-Sense

Changes:

-fix backlight dimmer setting in installer
[One (M8) Original Android Development] smeejaytee:
Hi I was wondering is there any benefit in disabling max screen off frequency won't it use more battery than having it set

Also do you know anything about the new ic2 apparently it saves quote a bit odd battery maybe you could look into it no obligations but it sounds investing
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Skinpipe:
thanks for enlightening me, you clearly have a wealth of knowledge, ill look out for "bad stuff" in cache and dalvik in the future.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] mobileman88:
How do I set/tweak the backlight dimmer setting other than installer?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] smeejaytee:
Take a look if you haven't already it really does sound interesting

[One (M8) Original Android Development] scrubsja:
Flar2, I am still having problems on trying to run this kernel on my M8.

I have tried the hacker beta 10 and faux 008u with Viper 2.4 and they work without incident. From April since you came out with this Kernel I have been trying to run it. After flashing as soon as I start interacting with the phone it reboots. The phone runs without rebooting if I leave it alone, but soon as I start typing or interacting the phone reboots. I have tried all the configurations in the Aroma installer.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] PwnCakes193:
Hey flar! Seems we don't have the latest sound driver in the GPE kernel after all, still at 35 as opposed to 36, and some settings in FauxSound don't stick. I would clone and do it myself but my internet here is abysmal. Can't wait to see dimmer on the GPE version as well!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Gold_Diesel:
1.06 Backlight Dimmer

Does the backlight dimmer in 1.06 reduce all the brightness values or does it just reduce the lowest brightness value? In other words, can you still have maximum brightness with it enabled?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] MassStash:
Way he described it sounds like makes min lower
[One (M8) Original Android Development] flar2:
The backlight dimmer reduces all values and makes the minimum lower. I might make some adjustments but first I'm going to test it myself for a few days and wait for feedback.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] dreaming1reality:
I prefer this kernel over faux.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] smeejaytee:
Sorry to post again but nobody answered the first post I'm curious whether or not it's worth disabling
[One (M8) Original Android Development] enel_:
This sounds very interesting, I hope flar can implement this in elemental kernel.

Some extra battery life is always good.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] flar2:
Not sure, try it both ways and decide for yourself.

It's been in the kernel all along, this SOC is a later revision of the one used in the Nexus 5 and has many more patches from CAF right off the bat.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] HC4Life:
Another great release!

Thx flar :)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] nodiaque:
No problem mate. It is not a situation that happen often, but when a simple dirty flash fix it, it's more likely then not.

Look for wakelock from apps, either with gsam battery monitor or better battery stats. Keep in mind that wakelock from kernel doesn't mean that kernel initiated the call. You must see the kernel as a gateway to the hardware.

Let's say you are a aircraft pilot and you want to take off. You make the request to the tower. The tower check in the system and with the staff if you can take off and where to go. the kernel is like the tower, it is there to access data the pilot cannot access because it would be a mess if it could.

In short, an app required access to hardware or kernel request, he then make the request. Because of that, the kernel does the job and the monitoring software think the kernel is the culprit.

Things to look for: apps that make notification like Facebook and Facebook messenger, these two never sleep and eat a lot of data/ power.

Also, if you game, games like Simpson, clash of clans and others where you initiate a task in the game and must wait x minutes before it's ready (or make another move) and that notify you when it's ready, or when there's a war (etc). these apps are constantly making wake up , using data and cpu time to check the status of the game.

When I had clash of clans installed, even if I never launched it all day, my battery life was almost half of what I have now, same with Simpson and many other game like that.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] mobileman88:
Thanks. I noticed that it is definitely dimmer now in the dark. Would be great to be able to tune this setting if and when required in your EX app
[One (M8) Original Android Development] nodiaque:
no need to quote the release, specially an old release (1.06 is latest)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] jcrompton:
Is 1.06 the latest for GPE?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] nodiaque:
Depend which GPE. Follow the link of any of the two you linked, they both point to the download page of all release.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] PwnCakes193:
[MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION], I know that you said we already had those patches and we do! But HTC devices do use more than one i2c channel as seen in this file

https://github.com/flar2/m8-GPE-4.4.3/blob/master/arch/arm/boot/dts/msm8974.dtsi

The freq's at 885, 901, and possibly 917 should also be changed as well. Hope this helps!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Etshooter:
If you run a Rom like viper you can adjust the screen brightness variables. I have just gone with flars option in aroma and kept that off because it would probably cause issues. My feedback flar, is that the low brightness is great. No longer strains my eyes in complete darkness. But the mid is slightly too low for my taste. I haven't yet tested the brightness out in direct sunlight.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] flar2:
I'll take a look and see if those other buses are being used. Anyway, it can't hurt even if they aren't used (there would simply be no benefit)

It's pretty hard to see in the bright sun. I'm just going to find some good defaults and make it adjustable.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] smeejaytee:
I'm using lowest brightness setting in viper Rom and and tweak in this kernel and I can see the screen fine with brightness up and I'm sure the battery is draining slower so it's all good here thanks
[One (M8) Original Android Development] suppliesidejesus:
I lost the ability to connect to my work hidden WIFI network with 1.06 Sense. I flashed back to 1.04 and everything is working again.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] smeejaytee:
Hi I'm having an issue playing agent dash it's very slow it's also happening with sonic dash not sure about other games as there the only ones in playing atm I've tried with and without gboost I've tried diferent schedulers and governors and read ahead speeds but it's still slow whatever I do I'm pretty sure this shouldn't happen lol Amy advise or fix would be highly appreciated thank you
[One (M8) Original Android Development] flar2:
Interesting. I made no changes to anything that should affect network stuff. Since 1.04 I made a change to max screen off code, updated fauxsound, added kexec-hardboot and added backlight dimming. The only possibility is that one of these changes (kexec-ardboot is the most likely) caused a kernel symbol to change and some part of the precompiled wifi module that is only used for your scenario becomes broken.

Could you do a clean boot with 1.06, try to connect to the network, then reboot again and send me /proc/last_kmsg? The reason I ask you to do it this way is that I need to see the complete kernel log from boot up to the time you try to connect, and this might not all be in the dmesg buffer.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] suppliesidejesus:
Yeah, I can do that. A clean boot would be from powered off, correct?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] flar2:
No need to power it down, just reboot
[One (M8) Original Android Development] suppliesidejesus:
Looks like I had a bad flash the first time around (or a corrupt download). I downloaded a new copy and reflashed, and Wifi connected to the hidden network I'm currently in range of on boot. I'll let you know if I see any weirdness. Nice app, btw.

[One (M8) Original Android Development] Kent21:
With me, kernel 1.06 save my battery life. Drain battery is slow and slow. Tks a lot flar2.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] metaphz:
Thanks for adding my suggested feature to your kernel. Is it possible to see it on GPE soon?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] flar2:
Yes, probably in the next couple days
[One (M8) Original Android Development] metaphz:
Thank you very excited to be able to completely control the brightness of my display. Even on the dimmest setting it lights up a whole dark room.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] smeejaytee:
Is anyone else experiencing difficulties with gaming or is it just me agent dash it's very slow and hard to play thus it's just one example
[One (M8) Original Android Development] vegetaleb:
It's pethaps too soon to say but I flashed 1.06 on viper 2.4.0 last night and went to sleep so I put airplaine mode all night, this morning when I woke up the battery depleted 30%!!!

I stopped every single app not from htc and applied power saver mode but the battery was still decreasing 1% every 30 sec!!

Now I am charging it but it's charging very slowly,there is something eating battery like hell,could it be pocket detection?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] nodiaque:
Nothing to do with kernel, you have a rogue app that might have slept until reboot. Check your wakelock from apps. Been running 1.06 on viper 2.4 and battery have slightly increase because of lower brightness achieveable over my custom viper brightness
[One (M8) Original Android Development] flar2:
Try the high performance mode, or use my app to set shortcut to 1 I governor options.

This kernel does not cause drain. Reboot and your problem will likely be fixed.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
I'm running almost all games including agent dash with laggs or so...so maybe try deleting cache or even reinstall the game and reboot...
[One (M8) Original Android Development] flar2:
You have lags in games? I haven't tried gaming on this device. The HTC governor has never been great for gaming, which is why I modify it and add gboost. If you enable shortcut as well, it should ramp up the cpu even more quickly.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Freak07:
Block fortress is laggy for me too, unfortunately.... Even with Enabled gboost.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] smeejaytee:
What do you mean enable shortcut sorry it's looks like I'm not the only one could you please look into gaming performance that would be great this phone really shouldn't get lags its a beast lol
[One (M8) Original Android Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Ah lol no I meant without laggs xD even on stock kernel there weren't any real laggs only on games which were really big and graphic intensive...but even then it was more of a slow down as a lag... This device is the first android device which don't need much or even no optimizing from other devs as it runs all games really great! :)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] smeejaytee:
I wouldn't call it lag really either now you say that it is more slow than laggy but it still makes some games extremely difficult to play I didn't get this at all on stock kernel games ran fine no issues that's why I've brought it up in here in the hope it can be assessed and addressed I love this kernel I don't really want to change but gaming is important for me

---------- Post added at 01:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 PM ----------

I'm curious could under voting cause the slow down in gaming I'm ocing also but I would imaging that helps gaming and not hinder it as it were
[One (M8) Original Android Development] flar2:
Yes undervolting can cause problems.

You could try raising your min GPU freq to 320. A couple versions ago I set the default freq from 320 to 200. Let me know if that helps, I might change it back.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] smeejaytee:
I'm not using any kernel app atm and in venom cpu and kernel there is only max gpu which is set to 520 how can I change min gpu frequency please
[One (M8) Original Android Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Just install a kernel app shouldn't be a problem...yea the min gpu freq or undervolting could be an issue... I just would try different things/ setup to see what causes and what fixes that
[One (M8) Original Android Development] flar2:
For some reason I thought you had the elementalx app, which will allow you to change it. Not sure about others.

This is how you do it manually:

echo 3 > /sys/class/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/min_pwrlevel
[One (M8) Original Android Development] smeejaytee:
Should I just type that in terminal will it stock at boot thanks I will be buying the app this week I will be getting some Google credit I want your app so that I can fly use this kernel thanks
[One (M8) Original Android Development] trackloading:
Hi,

Pocket detection has never worked well on my phone, buy now I think I have found a pattern when it works and when it doesn't.

If I double tab when the pocket detection is active, I can only wake the device with the power button afterwards. Otherwise other scenarios works for me...

Hope this can help solve the problem?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] flar2:
No, it won't stick at boot. You would have to put it in an init.d script.

For now, just see if it helps your problem
[One (M8) Original Android Development] flar2:
I have to revisit pocket detection. On my phone, since I updated the firmware, it gets stuck if the there is a phone call while the phone is lying face down and I don't answer it. Befoer the firmware update it was fine but others had this problem.

The solution is to use the stock gestures.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] smeejaytee:
Ok so that seems to help somewhat but it's still a little slow although better I will reflash the kernel without uv and see if that helps but would you please be kind enough to knock me up an innitd script for the command to stick at boot please that would be really helpful thank you for your help
[One (M8) Original Android Development] andreasyeah:
The command you've just tried. That's the command you have to put.

#!/system/bin/sh
echo 3 > /sys/class/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/min_pwrlevel

Just create a file in init.d folder, paste the code and set the permission to 755 rwxr-xr-x

Hey Alex nice to see you here too :)

Really the best kernel for one m8 ...battery Life with 1.06 is just outstanding :)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] smeejaytee:
Running allot smoother now I've disabled uv and switched to deadline but it's still there slightly is there a command I could set in innitd to force ms4aa at boot please as that also seems to help I'm getting there now thank you
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Alex-V:
yeah...seems stable and fast :)

good to see you ;)

one thing i noticed is that i can s2w from the middle left to right and it wakes...only s2w from right on..gestures off...
[One (M8) Original Android Development] beup:
I flashed the v1.06 and i noticed that my sound is really low with headphone even at max, i flashed back to 1.04 and the sound is back to normal, i usually set the volume to the mid level.

Anyone have the same behavior ? (I'm using Harman/Kardon mod too).
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Alex-V:
anyone..?

I just saw in trickster mod is a section for ton/audio changes...mybe try..
[One (M8) Original Android Development] flar2:
If you are using Viper, there are a lot of possibilities for conflicting settings between /etc/elementalx.conf and Venom Tweaks. Check the OP for the sysfs paths for s2w and see what yours are set to.

There was an update to fauxsound in 1.05, but I don't think that should cause an issue.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] MassStash:
Haven't noticed personally but have you checked the audio tweak settings in flar's awesome app? May help as well. Did you have boost set on when flashing venom rom? I'd turn off if so and try again
[One (M8) Original Android Development] beup:
I also had the FauxSound app installed, i just uninstalled, reboot and the sound is back to normal again, maybe there was some conflict there with the update to fauxsound.

btw now that everything is back to normal, the sound is even better than 1.04 but for sure not worst, thanks for the release.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Alex-V:
right i have venom installed...but i checked with root explorer..wake_gestures is 0 and sweep2wake is 1...correct for me...will test a bit...

...but thx for fast answer :)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] miodzicho:
Did you reinstalled? I have same issue.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] beup:
No i didn't since sound is already great, but i think it is related since i also had the same issue with new faux kernel.

Regarding the pocket detection... It worked fine when I had the WWE firmware installed. But I had some radio issues, so I went to the Developer Edition firmware (I'm from the states) and the issues are back. Definitely firmware related. Sorry if you already knew that, just thought I'd offer my two cents.
