Evolution, are you building this off stock Verizon kernel base or international base?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] NotATreoFan:
To be clear, my phone sat for most of the time shown. But this is perfectly acceptable battery drain given that I've got 10+ accounts on push and another 4 or 5 checking in on a regular basis.

Flashed RLS1, cleared cache/dalvik, and did some messaging.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Evolutionmods:
its verizon but with pronto drivers, i dont know it that make a difference with the mac addr.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] JasonJoel:
I'm on rls too. Running great, but it did wipe out my mac address again. Not a huge problem, but not good.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] deeznuts:
Using latest rls kernal with latest viper Rom. Couple things I've noticed:

1. Every now and then I get a pop up message saying unfortunately "X" app has stopped working and have to hit ok. I check but does not seem app FC. One was applock which I use on a few apps. After I hit ok I clicked on a app that's locked and it asked for passcode so applock must have been running?

2. Seems issue sending mms while connected to WiFi. I received a group mms message just fine, when replying though it showed the sending icon for at least 5min straight. I then disconnected WiFi and maybe 10sec later my group mms response shows sent.

I flashed kernel with twrp but did not think to wipe cache and dalvik after flash. Could this have been an issue? Thanks

I too am having some force closing issues. I do not have applock though. I can't speak to the MMS issue. Just posting to say it ain't just you lol

So not sure where this falls but...

Set Up:

ACR 2.4-2.6

.10-RLS1

Issue:

Everytime i download a different app to set the cpu speed or voltage the settings do not stay. The worst/consistent has been that instead of 300 MHz as min it sets it at 1786 Mhz. Talk about battery drain. I have tried trickster,Kkernel,Antutu, No frills, etc...

Any suggestions?

Setcpu seems to work fine for me. Just be sure to tap on the box for apply at boot.

My bigger problem now is that not everything on my external 64gb storage card is not there anymore! I know it's there, if I flash stock kernel all is vissbike, music, files, etc. With this kernel maybe only 80% of my music files are "visible". Is there a secret to make everything visible on my sd card just like it is on stock kernel?

I'll try less undervokt but if I can't even have access to all my files on external card, kind of a deal breaker here.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] deeznuts:
I just flashed the kernel again and wipe dalvik and cache and a couple reboots for good measure. Haven't gotten any FC yet now with stock voltages so hopefully that's gone.

Problem though is still i cannot view/access some things on my external sd card. Missing a lot of music files that are on there. If i flash stock kernel back, all these files are visible again as before. Flash this kernel, files are not visible as if they're not there. WTF?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] GohanBurner:
Is this kernel not compatible with ViperROM? I'm going to download this release version and see if I can get past the second boot animation. Hopefully I can, drying to try this kernel.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] deeznuts:
It works for me, you just won't be able to access or see some files on your external sd card for whatever reason? I'm using a 64gb storage card if it makes a difference? Don't see the issue though as stock kernel works just fine showing all my sd card files but this kernel does not as if they're not there at all.

MAC addresses should be unique to each device (I think.) it looks like everybody running this kernel has the same MAC address. It'll only be a problem, though, if you have two devices running this kernel on the same network.

I'm running ViperOne and have no issues. Been unplugged for almost 8 hours and I'm only down 22%. I'll test the missing files once I copy music to it later.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] deeznuts:
Yeah, very weird and can't see why those 3 albums won't show with this kernal? I've downloaded newer albums since and they show fine on this kernel, all stored in the same place in Music folder on my external card so...

Can't use a kernal that likes to choose on it's own what i can utilize and not from my external sd card for no rhyme or reason? Tried searching this thread but 90% of the talk here is undervolting so no help there.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] x70xchallengerx:
FWIW I'm on ViperOne with RLS1 of this kernel since yesterday afternoon and I've had zero FC s or hiccups so far. Though I made sure to freeze viper tweaks, install sense 6 toolbox and trickster mod.

I'm at pretty stock settings besides changing read-ahead to 1024 and undervolting by -25.

Also something odd is when I charged it to 100%, strangely it sat at 100% for like an hour with about 25-30mins screen on time before it dropped to 99%.. is that normal? Lol
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] x70xchallengerx:
Actually now I'm having a weird issue. When I play music I'll get a skip every maybe 45 seconds or so. I changed the read-ahead to 1024 and I'm using a class 10 64gb sd card.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] deeznuts:
I also had this issue playing music via bluetooth connection in my car. Only tested this kernel though on the way to work with this so wasn't sure if it was just a bad BT connection as that does happen sometimes (on this device though very rare!) so didn't really hold it against the kernel. But obviously it probably is an issue here.

Do you notice any of your music files missing using this kernel? I store all my music (about 5gb total) on my external 64gb sd card and notice a handful of albums are missing! I flash stock kernal, magically the albums are there again. For some reason this kernel won't access some of my music on ext sd card, weird...

Is it recommended for us to wipe cache and dalvik between build upgrades, eg. going from build #1 to #2

I don't know if it's recommended but it's a safe route.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] thedrizzle:
ALWAYS wipe cache and dalvik when you flash a kernel. Any kernel. Ever. :cyclops:
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Evolutionmods:
You never never ever ever have to wipe anything when flashing kernels. unless you want to, but you don't need to. the only time you should is when the resources change in your device like with flashing Roms and Themes.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] x70xchallengerx:
sooo I just bought a micro-sd and it's the first that I've used with the M8 so far, it's a Patriot class 10 64gb SDXC card and I'm on ViperM8 1.2.0 and your #2 kernel. I popped the micro SD in (right out of the box) and in 'storage' the phone says "mount SD card" and "Format SD card" and everything else is grayed out. I tried both these options but it won't do anything, it won't acknowlege my card besides that it's IN the device. I can't see what's on it or access it (on my phone) but it shows up just fine on my computer, it's formatted to exFAT and when I tried to format it to NTFS and pop it back in the phone, it made me format it back to exFAT yet still doesn't let me use or access the card... Am I doing something wrong? Is this a rom or kernel issue? HALP!

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] x70xchallengerx:
No actually as far as I can tell, all my music is still there, I don't see anything missing. There's a function in trickster mod called "'re-scan SD media" which MIGHT help. I haven't done it personally so I can't say, but it sounds like something that would help lol.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] deeznuts:
Didnt think of that but tried many reboots and after a reboot the system rescans already. All those apps do is basically this process, tells the system to scan which is exactly what it does after a reboot so not sure that will help at all. Maybe others can test this BT music and see if it's an issue for all or only a few of us?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] metalspring:
Btw, I know this is the vzw thread but I heard its supposed to work on sprint as well but when I tried this on the sprint htc one m8, while it worked there were a few minor but kind of annoying issues, one somehow this breaks the boot animation on some roms (only shows the aosp android boot animation), second it breaks the ability to download sprint apps and breaks any sprint apps installed, and third it removes sprint from the status bar pull down.

[MENTION=3601255]Evolutionmods[/MENTION] do you think those issues could be fixed if I just cherry-picked all the commits you made on top of the stock sprint kernel source (m8whl) or did you start with an already modified kernel source or could it be as simple as modifying a few things in the defconfig?

(FYI I'm no stranger to compiling kernels from source)

Notification LED

Kernel runs really great. I'm running stock ROM, using Light Flow for notification. Apparently this phone has some quirks with the notification LED. With the stock kernel, the LED would come on solid on any of the homescreens while the phone was charging, and would go off when the phone went to sleep. To enable the LED flashing for notifications, one must enable the "mixer" setting on the light tab for each active notification, and then check "flash-hardware controlled" for the LED. This enables LED flashing when the phone is asleep. I tried 010, OC-25, and RLS1 versions of this kernel, and found that, when the phone was charging, the LED came on solid and stayed on, even when the phone was asleep, so the LED never flashed. I also believe that repeating notifications did not repeat. I restored back to stock kernel and the LED flashes once more. I would love to run this kernel if the LED would behave itself.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Evolutionmods:
[MENTION=4328678]metalspring[/MENTION] this issue can be fixed. and i think using sprint source will help alot. the boot animation fix is in the init.rc of the ramdisk, which still needs to be added. you can also turn CONFIG_VMWARE_MVP back on in defconfig if your using gcc 4.7. i left it off because im using gcc 4.9.1 and it will break the build. then because of the Vold hacks for exfat. the module will have to be renamed texfat, the same with wlan.ko to pronto_wlan.ko.

From what I've read, it could be a couple of things..Did you try a fresh install of the rom, wipe and all, then flash?

What are you using to flash? TWRP? Other? I've read some people had issues because they used an unofficial version of TWRP or other. As far as the music skipping, what are you venom cpu tweaks? I saw that people that had the same music skipping issue tweaked the "read ahead buffer size". they've increased or decreased it, so you can try messing around with that.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] NotATreoFan:
This only affects Sprint. Verizon builds of TWRP and CWM have touch control working. But it does look real ugly in CWM.

I've been running this on 1.5 and 1.6 beta, zero issues. That being said, Viper is designed to run with the included kernel and so it's possible that you're using a tweak that doesn't play nice. I would suggest a nandroid and full wipe to test.
