When I flash an update I flash the su update right after, then when it boots I use titanium backup to uninstall venom root. You can get super SU from the market or search for it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] shadolis:
Try playing Asphalt 8 and please report back! I can't get any of these kernels to run well on Venom. With ACR the 2.8 works wonderfully, and Asphalt 8 plays like butter. But I get maj lag probs in Venom. All the tweaks in the world don't seem to provide any stability.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] droid fetish:
yes it is laggy, not as bad on OC2.8 but still there. I don't understand it, performance everywhere else is awesome. but like I said I don't play games. Good luck bro, Im sur it will come around. I cant believe we have come this far so quick!!!!!!!!! Congrats to these awesome Devs.

I was just running viper Rom 1.5 already then flashed this kernel. I don't see how flashing with full wipe would benefit this kernel in any way?

I use Simon's version of TWRP, the on my one available with no issues. People are even having issues with the "official" twrp recovery.

I made zero changes to the kernel. Just flashed, wipe cache and dalvik, reboot. No changes made to it. I now have Music folder missing from my external sd card. I flash back stock kernel that comes with Viper and the missing folders are now there. What could cause this to happen and don't see how a venom tweak would cause this? Only exposed modules I have are greenify and sense 6 toolbox.

I even uninstalled viper Su, flashed the SU pro from Play store as well. No change still missing some music folders on external 64gb sd card. Weird. This is my biggest issue, no access to some of my music with this kernel.

---------- Post added at 03:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:04 PM ----------

Notice the last 3 music folders show 0 bytes? Why would a Rom or tweak cause this when they are stored in the exact same place as the rest of my music?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sipherian:
I am looking to flash this kernel but am seeking advice. I am huge on stability and was wondering if you guys could help me out. I have scoured the forums for a previous post but have failed to find one. Anyway I am running CleanRom right now and was wondering if there would be any issues flashing this kernel. And which one should I flash?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] shortstuff_mt:
I'm running CleanROM with the RLS1 version of this kernel and it's been 100% stable. :good:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] schnob:
I'm also on CleanRom, I've been running RLS1 since it was released and it's been rock solid.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] krazie1:
I have the same issue, I reported it earlier in this thread. ViperOne and insertcoin both are laggy on games with this kernel.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] deeznuts:
Well did it all and zero change! I downloaded viper 1.6 full Rom, flashed full Rom with full wipe in aroma and stock settings. Let phone flash and reboot, let phone sit for a good 20min to download all play store apps, let phone sync, etc. Did a reboot for good measure. I then even installed the latest version of twrp recovery as I was running Simons version since it was released so now that is ruled out.

I then flashed the kernel, wipe dalvik and cache, reboot. Let phone again sit for a good 20min to settle. I made zero changes in settings and no exposed installer and didn't even open venom tweaks. Complete fresh viper 1.6 install with latest twrp.

Well guess what, still shave same issue! Same 3 music folders will not show the contents and acts as if the folders are empty! This is a hell of a headache to get a kernel working.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] 1ManWolfePack:
Just a thought....

Wasn't there a big issue with exFAT? That they fixed, then broke, then fixed? Elemental and scrosler.

Is it possible that it got borked again? I've got a 32gb on stock and it's buttery smooth, daddy-o.

Sent from my HTC6525LVW
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] shadolis:
Yes they are, I've tried both with pretty much all versions of this kernel, no luck. Insert Coin has the best performance with the game stock. Absolutely no lag on full settings. The benchmark drops below the G2 in Antutu though. With the 2.8 OC I can score near 38,000, but gaming sucks. Seems to be a problem with bus speed... I've experienced that before overclocking PCs.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] krazie1:
Have you tired this kernel with Skyfall, Cleanrom or Android Revolution and asphalt 8?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hgoldner:
Not to suggest that you haven't been careful, but may I suggest you check your card carefully? Can your PC/Mac see those folders. I am similarly ocd about the media (music, podcasts, photos) on my 128g sdcard and just last week had all kinds of rebpot issues after flashing the 2.5 oc rework (last version before current release) and it all turned out to be the sdcard not my ROM or this kernel. (You can see my posts on that several pages back).

Beamed from the holodeck of my Nexus 7 FHD.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] NotATreoFan:
My next suggestion would be to backup the card, format it (not in the phone), and then copy back the affected folders to see if they're still missing.

I know that it's strange, but I've seen similar issues when a filesystem isn't 100% healthy.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] heffzilla:
Works great on skyfall with rls1
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] deeznuts:
I will give this a try when I have time. What doesn't make sense though and why I think it's this kernel is the issue, why would stick kernel show all folders fine but yet this kernel does not?

Is the stock kernel more advanced where it can see bad system writes? Just seems odd that stock kernel reads all fine, this kernel does not.

What should I format my sd card to on the computer? When I bought the sd card I just popped it right into the device. No formatting or anything first.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] StarfishP:
Is there any possible way that you could make a RLS1 kernel without the 2.5 oc?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] NotATreoFan:
Use this: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/

It's the official tool from the group who designed SD cards. The quick erase option only works on flash drives, so you will need to select Overwrite. It took a few hours to run on my 64GB and left it with ExFAT system after.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] deeznuts:
Thank you. Will give it a go.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Evolutionmods:
Sorry I havnt been around all.. I've been adding code just haven't made a new kernel yet. I have been seeing issues with viper on some settings. The problem lies with in init.d probably. The scripts are counter affecting the source.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Evolutionmods:
Hey all.. I just patched kernel source all the way through Linux version 3.5. I just tested a bench on it to see if it stays consistant and the frames are a lot higher then drop to normal then go higher, this should be a great one for you gamers. I wanna test for a bit longer then I'll release it tonight as an rls2 build there is so much new code in this right now and so far it's running like a champ.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] RickROM:
I am having SD card issues with this kernel after installing it with CleanROM... 3 folders inside of my TWRP folder on the 64GB SD disappeared. I booted into recovery and they were no longer there also so I deleted the TWRP folder. When I booted back into the ROM it still shows the space as being used even though I can't see the folders anymore. Not sure what to do...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hgoldner:
You don't say what ROM you're on; you don't say whether your card is formatted exFAT or FAT32, but please read through this thread (There are at least two other users who mention the exact same thing) and especially posts 671, 672 and 676. Search for sdcard and missing.

If you deleted your TWRP directory, you've deleted your nandroid(s). So my suggestion is get another reliable sdcard and do a nandroid there before you start messing with things. I also strongly urge you to backup your sdcard either to a hard drive or a duplicate sdcard. Then you can reformat it appropriately. I do not believe these sdcard issues are kernel related. I'm not absolutely certain, but I don't believe so. I was in bootloops because every time my system went to mount my sdcard it would loop. Ultimately I had to reformat the card ---- but I had a backup of its contents.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Evolutionmods:
Hey all, My apologies if some of you are having issues, everything from here on out thats modified in this source is to be considered experimental. even though it's deemed safe and tested by me, sometimes stuff happens. Trust me when i say this. Yesterday i re-wrote some partitions on the phone and had to RUU! with that being said.... I do try to test everything in my kernels, mainly phone crashes and all around bricks. when I release these they are running good on my phone. and like I said before I have a new kernel :) check post #1 "RLS2" It has all of 3.5 code i could merge, build, fix, build, fix, build, fix i could do. so far it runs great.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hgoldner:
There's a kernel module/code, I think it was called "sysfs" which supposedly made file access faster but was also known to possibly corrupt data. Any chance you have that "feature" going in this kernel? As I recall, the builder of the kernel I used on my Rezound made it possible to turn sysfs off. (It was Snuzzo's "Funky Kernel" series. He's since moved on to the LG2 and I believe he's taken a break from development.) Might explain sdcard issues, just saying.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Evolutionmods:
Sorry , I didn't see the post bud. Lemme see what I can do.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Evolutionmods:

RLS2 is really smooth but spotify keeps crashing when I launch it. Wiped dalvik/cache even tried reinstalling it but it still crashes.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Evolutionmods:

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Evolutionmods:
For now if you use spotify stay away from rls2 . If I can fix it I'll remove the code
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] boricua95:
Ok thanks for looking into it!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] RickROM:
I said I was on CleanROM. I deleted the directory because the files aren't showing, but my file manager and Disk Usage app still shows the space being takn up by "System Data." The card is exFAT and I already have backups on the computer. Reformatting the card isn't a problem, but I don't want to keep having to do it over and over. I just tried RLS2, and I am still unable to see what is taking up 8GB of space from file manager in ROM or from in TWRP. I also can't open Spotify now either so Ill go back to stock CleanROM kernel until the issues are fixed. Thanks.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] smallba:
Dumb question but are you using a sdhc card or a regular sd card
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] deeznuts:
Finally!!! I'm not the only person here with this issue! I believe this kernel has issues with some 64gb sd cards. I have one too and also cannot view 3 folders either! It's kernel related 100% imo. Know why? Flash back to stock kernel (or if u did a nandroid backup before flashing this kernel) and magically you will see your 3 folders and it's contents are still there, they never went anywhere. For some reason this kernel will not read them.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] RickROM:

---------- Post added at 08:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 PM ----------

I wish I would have checked this thread before I tried deleting them... I would have tried flashing stock kernel to verify if they were still there to confirm the issue before deleting, but I already had backup on computer so I deleted them immediately thinking that I could just start new backups. I was surprised that the space wasn't free after deleting though.... I didn't come to this thread thinking it was the kernel, but I was reading and saw you mentioned it so I figured I'd let you know it happening for me. I wonder if maybe it is the ROM or has to do with the Kit Kat SD fix?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] deeznuts:
I believe if memory serves me right I have the same exact SD card as you too! I just got the card at the Verizon store day I got this phone and literally popped it in the device before walking out the door and threw the packaging away. Shouldn't have anything to do with kit Kat bro, it's kernel. I used this sd card on stock Verizon Rom no issues, used it on skyfall Rom no issues, using it now on viper Rom no issues. Common denominator, all roms use stock kernel but obviously stock Verizon rom stock kernel didn't have write permissions but still all my folders and files were accessible.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hgoldner:
But do those other kernel & ROM combinations support exFAT like this one does? At least for me, the reason I run this kernel is its exFAT support. That format is how the sdcard came. I had reformatted my card to FAT32 when I encountered all my issues. That's why I have been asking which format posters reporting sdcard issues are using.

I thought (and please correct me if I am wrong) that this is the only kernel for the M8 supporting exFAT.

My name's Harold and I'm a flashaholic....
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] adavit:
I'm pretty sure faux's kernel supports exfat but its been a while since I've used it.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] two_cents:
Faux kernel supported exFAT but it isn't updated for the new base... I don't have sdcard issues since this kernel was made to support.

I think the problem arises when you flash a Rom with a non exFAT supported kernel then flash this kernel to support it. I put my sdcard directly in my computer recently and it did a file scan to fix corrupt data and it's been fine ever since.

64gb ultra SanDisk class 10 30mb/s is what I have
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jskolm:
RLS2 is running good for me on BoneStock_1.3. I had to increase the buffer size in PowerAmp to stop the music from skipping, but that was the only thing I had to do. My exFAT formatted SDcard is reporting everything with no issues.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] metalspring:
I believe the ramdisk in the kernel needs a few changes to work properly with Sprint. Right now it seems to break boot animation, Sprint logos, and Sprint apps.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MassStash:
Yes yes, fully aware. Was curious if that happened to everyone else, meaning it wasn't something else I flashed that caused it haha. And if so, then we can add it to the list of things changed by flashing this vzw kernel on m8whl

It might not be needed lol, I modified the kernel ramdisk myself and pm'ed it to Evolutionmods so he might be able to use it in the future for sprint versions of the kernel.

For those of you continuing to run checkm8 , I need some beta testers to help things speed along. I'll make sure the phone doesn't explode then I'll post to testers. When all checks out good then it will be posted to public.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] hgoldner:
Switched from System Tuner to Android Tuner and got significant variation in voltages (variation by nearly 100mv). ALSO, had second sdcard meltdown, this time on exFAT after updating to one of the OC kernels. I think I will stick to v10 and stay out of trouble. My M8 doesn't appear to enjoy life in the fast lane, and has always done well on v10.
