okay, will download it asap, but srom is really fun to play with though
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I don't doubt it mate, I just know where I stand with LeeDroid it's always been good to me lol.
[One (M8) General] pisc3s1203:
haha okay, this is what i get from the latest srom, not so good i think
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Not the worst I've seen but I'm sure it could be better.
[One (M8) General] pisc3s1203:
yes it is much better in the older version, but the new version messed up something, this battery life is after clean flash, it is worse with dirty flash
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Stock kernel or ex kernel?
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
ElementalX 6.03 interactive+flops. Phone is so smooth :)
[One (M8) General] pisc3s1203:
i tried both, it's almost the same, but ex is faster. i'm on leedroid now[emoji14]seems pretty well :D
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Personally liking lonleyx ATM lyapota has done a great job on this one.
[One (M8) General] Mastamike:
Hi, i'm on leedroid r69. I have clumsy kernel which run really well. But I want to test lyapota kernel. If I flash it, do I have to delete some clumsy kernel config files like I did with elementalx ( in /etc and in init.d) ?

[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
It's probably for the best mate, there way there won't be any conflict.

That is of course if there is an innit.d script for clumsy I've not tried it myself.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Elemental x had been updated with sense sources guys.
[One (M8) General] pisc3s1203:
ex 7 seems really badass, hopes it will rescue my battery
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
How would you compare it to lonleyx mate, as this is super slick but ex has more options I presume as lonleyx is stockish this time round
[One (M8) General] pisc3s1203:
ex is slick too, all i care is battery life now
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I'm trying it now, feels smooth and snappy will see how battery is but it's not that important to me as long as my phone makes it to bed time I'm happy.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Both lyapota and flar are a really skilled devs... my father one x is running lyapota's kernel(and believe me - it's still the best for one x sense) and I am right now [MENTION=398245]LeeDroid[/MENTION] 8.1.4(r69 - the last full sense 7) + ex 7 and runs really well. Will tell more in the following days, but so far so good.
[One (M8) General] pisc3s1203:
yes, everybody abandoned one x and only lyapota keep updating his kernel for one x, and that's why he called his kernel lonelyx[emoji14]
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Was and still is a good phone... can run everything, even a lot of the more heavy modern games. :)
[One (M8) General] pisc3s1203:
just the heat problem :(
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Actually audahadi was the last one x kernal with the next kernel but lonleyx was more stable next had some reboot issues but b had excellent voltage control.
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
You guys notice the extreme smoothness and speed with ElementalX 7.00 & LeeDroid r69? I have the animations all at 1x and the phone feels like its opening apps as if my animations are at .5x. I'm enjoying this combo.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Yes mate very slick, but why haven't you updated LeeDroid, sense 8 is awesome.
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
About to try it out, what Camera is the stablest out of the M9 Camera, A9 Camera or M10 Camera?
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
M8 camera as it's for M8... also I noticed if you take hdr photos that A9 camera doesn't have the "processing" part thus can shoot faster between the shots(maybe because it doesn't support dual sensor). The M8 camera is the best tho.
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
[MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION] hey mate any settings or adjustments on ex kernel worth while or you running stock setup?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
ATM I'm just ocing to 2.6ghz and using fiops scheduler,

Also I've set gpu to simple Ondemand and mpdecision to battery saving.

Read ahead @ 512.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
I flashed lyapota's kernel to try it out. Just now, so I will report tomorrow. Btw, for some reason ex 7 gives me a choppy performance and low random read/write compared to ex 6.0.2. Not sure if because it's a first version or because he apply part of his tweaks. (he mentioned that he must manually apply over 200 patches, but you know that - he answered to you :D)
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
What rom are you running it's smooth as silk on LeeDroid, it feels another than lonleyx but it's close, ATM I think I prefer elemental as it has More options, lyapota seems to have gone more stockish this time.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
leedroid r69:

ex 6.0.2: random read 4200iops, random write 4100iops and smooth as silk

ex 7 after two days: random read 3900-4000iops, random write 3200iops, choppy ui compared to stock or ex 6.0.2 and I run antutu and the i/o score was 10000... NEVER saw that low score on any kernel or rom.. the lowest was 15000 and on ex 6.0.2+sd 1.5.1 I had 16500 - 17500 + androbench: r4200/w4400iops and a lot smoother experience. I am about to flash back sd 1.5.1 + ex 6.0.2 for better experience, but I will miss a lot of things + I want to try the new sense 8...

dunno about lyapota's kernel, just flashed it. There is a option that the problem is the rom itself, but I hope not as I like the tweaks. btw... random write iops @ the last s.rom a9 port was 6200iops... :)
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Try the latest stable I can't understand why you have issues maybe the r69 but again I had no problems then either, I'm not sure what to suggest as you already know what your doing, you taught me most of what I know about kernel tweaking.
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
6200iops with what kernel on S.Rom?
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Ex 6.0.3 in the aroma included and sense 7_g interface + jw version.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Must admit the a9 port had some crazy Antutu scores from what I saw on the srom thread.
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
And SkyDragon ROM with SkyDragon kernel :)
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
It's strange as I found SD kernel really laggy when I was on SD rom, I had to change to elemental and delete the su.d script for the rom to run smooth.
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Thanks for the help mate got this running as my setup now and it feels very snappy and smooth :good:
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
No problem mate, I'm here to help.
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
I am talking about score :) 75K

If you want to try. Specially tweaked SD kernel by [MENTION=4846158]Imotep95[/MENTION], 2.7GHz

[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Thanks I might give it a try, BTW someone had 80k on the a9 port that's what I meant by crazy scores lol
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
How is battery life with this mate.
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
Better than EleX and Lonelyx on 2.7GHz.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Have you got some Screens please, I'd like to see them tia.
[One (M8) General] Zile995:

Where does this go as an image file mate? Id like to give it a shot :good:
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
Flash in TWRP mate ;)
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Ah right sweet mate didnt know kernels could be flashed as images :P
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Certainly looks impressive mate I've downloaded might flash it tomorrow.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
He's talking about this mate.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
They started doing it with m7 mate, I do much easier.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Deleting only the scripts makes the kernel a lot faster.

---------- Post added at 09:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 AM ----------

Yeah, can go high + sense 7_g is less ram hungry = more ram for the apps. The last A9 port is not bad at all + no bugs + EX 6.0.3 in the aroma as an option.

---------- Post added at 10:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 AM ----------

btw, lonelyX gives 3300 geekbench score - the highest I had vs any kernel @ 2.46GHz. Also it's very snappy, but the i/o performance on leedroid r69 is bad... especially write. That explains why apps install slower, apps optimizing takes longer if dalvik cache is wiped and can explain more stutter in apps like facebook where it download/write cache all the time.
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
What scripts mate?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Don't worry mate that was about SD 1.5.1 rom, it's not related to LeeDroid.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Atleast on sd 1.5.1 there was optimization scripts in the init.d folder that applied tweaks that where more for a other phone than M8 and thus when deleted the kernel worked better.
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
Does this "Readahead" can speed up phone? :)

It's 512KB by default.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
LeeDroid sense 8 is much faster than sense 7 mate, I wonder what you'd get with r76 or the latest stable release a it's optimised, also it has AOT ahead of time runtime, apps load almost instant and not time is really fast. Plus with boost+ I think you'll get a much better result.

Boost + is a surprisingly great memory management app it just runs in the background and it definitely keeps the phone snappy.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Yes and no, depends on the given task. Default is 128KB and that's not bad for row scheduler(less latency), but 512KB is more balanced and I prefer it over 128KB.
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
Thanks. Latest release is really fast(stock kernel). So it can be faster with custom kernel?
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Can you download and run "androbench 4.1"? It's 1MB size and test runs about 40 seconds. Post a screen with the result. :)

---------- Post added at 11:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 AM ----------

Depends as the stock kernel is actually on the fast side. It's downside is less customization and more battery drain, but that is to be expected with the performance it gives.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Here go
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
A9 & ex 6.0.3

As you can see the random write is 3 times lower... normal iops for write(stock kernel@MM 6.0 as A9 runs 6.0.1) is 4000iops, around 40% more. All the other stats are also lower... not sure why, maybe deodexing or smth.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
There is quite a difference but as I've said in the past I never do get very high benchmarks.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Dunno, but the thing is the same with antutu on r69(8.1.4), tried ex 7 and lonelyx: i/o score of about 10000 while normal score is 16-17k, 60-70% more.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
What settings are you using I'll duplicate and test the difference
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Improved a bit
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Until lollipop I always reodexed my roms but the script was never updated shame really,

I used to find it helped with battery and performance.

I'll say this though if there is a performance decrease you certainly can't feel it, I it's so smooth and no lag anywhere, like I said apps are loading almost instantly and it's boots in seconds.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
yep, deodexing the rom is only needed if you want to tweak it and in most cases lead to performance decrease. One of the reasons I like 1.5.1 is that it's not deodexed. 1.6 is the first version that is. My settings on all where row/512KB. You won't feel it in most cases as read performance is close + smooth in other areas, but for example aspps install/update slower.

[One (M8) General] krazie1:
I'm in SD 1.5.1 and it is indeed fast, left the stock SD Kernel in the rom still but hit 70,000 on Antutu. I prefer Odexed myself too, I first noticed a difference in speed 2 years ago messing with DeOdexed & Odexed Roms. I tried S.Team Sense 8 Port and it is nice but not too smooth, Antutu was around 38,000 if I remember & installing/updating apps was slow. This was with the stock kernel, didn't try any custom kernels.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
The problem with s.team sense 8 is that the max cpu frequency is locked to just 1GHz... you must manually use kernel tweak app to change it to the max value(2.26/2.46GHz). Then it will run smoother... if you are on sd 1.5.1 you should try to go in settings -> developer options->advanced-> turn OFF the force gpu to draw 2d. For some reason the kernel likes it more and run smoother that way. Cheers! :)

P.S. Just flashed 1.5.1 and it's indeed smoother with force gpu for 2d drawing turned off. Also [MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION] random write even without the rom settled(on every rom it always goes higher after the caching is done in 2-3 days): 5200iops =20+MB/s... all the other things are also high. Just to let you know, I gived btw thumbs up to Lee and I am sure he will have a look + anyway, I will wait a little longer for sense 8 roms to polish and will try a few to pick. Most likely it will be leedroid as it's always nice to have tweaks and a great dev behind it.
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
Definitely noticed S.Team Sense 8 was sluggish, read up in the thead & seen the kernel was locked at 1Ghz so upped it. Felt smoother after but Benchmark scores were quite low. Thanks for the advice on SD 1.5.1.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
For me for now and for sense 7, SD 1.5.1 is the best rom as it's the only one that is more closer to stock, not deodexed, debloated, tweaked lightly and just lightweight stock variant. Others are heavy changed, stock bloated or deodexed. SD 1.6 is also not deodexed, but they added more variant/phones support and I remember a lot of people complaining so 1.5.1 is the best from them all.
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
You seem to know a lot mate which is awesome :p I've took your advice and Im trying SD v1.5.1 again as it was my favourite rom and probably still is if its as you say. Apart from what you adviced above if there anything else you can think of wether its rom related or kernel tweaking? :good:
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Right now I am using it stock, the only change is that I turned of the forced 2d drawing on gpu that's on by default on that rom. I wan't it to settle down for a few days to gain full speed before tweaking more as now I can't judge objectively the changes I do as it's still caching, etc. :)

P.S. Will report back in a few days, just wanna try sd v6 kernel for more than a day. Otherwise I know for a fact that EX 6.0.2@2.45GHz and settled on that rom makes wonders about performance. Lyapota's latest kernel also look really fast and I know for a fact he is a great dev... ex 7 looks good, but didn't try it on 1.5.1 so won't talk about it while I know 6.0.2 is blazing fast on 1.5.1 + on that combination I got 18h on battery and 8h SOT heavy usage(1h youtube, 1h twitch and so on).
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Ok thanks mate, if you start tweaking or making changes worth while and its not to much hastle I would really appreciate a little pm my way ;) or a comment here :p :good:
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I always disable force gpu I read and feel that on our m8 it's doesn't help performance but hinder it, I noticed this also with benchmarks in Antutu when I turned out of my scores were higher.
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
Lol its even better with Stock rom+stock kernel :D

View attachment 3726318
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Agree with that. Force 2d on gpu is not good in our case. As for the i/o performance Lee is on it so I am sure soon it will be the perfect sense 8 rom. :)
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Is anyone using hypanova, I keep reading really good stuff about it this time round, and for some reason after tweaking is getting some of the highest benchmarks I've seen on m8, this is a first for hypanova it was always lower on benchmarks but felt blazing fast, I'm thinking about trying it for something different, I just wanted to get opinions.
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
What version is out mate? I used to love it but as you say the only thing against it was benchmark score
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
People are using the gpe version on sense and apparently it's blazing fast, I've seen some screens of benchmarks of 80k plus on Antutu, it's making me want to try it out but getting back to mpdecision after using hypanova is a bit of a pain so I wanted some feedback before trying it personally lol.
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Could you recommend settings on it and I'll test it out mate
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Sometimes did post some settings in the hypa thread mate, it's on the last couple of pages I believe.
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Something still not right mate just tested and got the usual 50k score :confused:
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Did you find the interactive settings in the Hypa thread?
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Yes mate I changed it to them and oc it. Just tested elementalx to see got 68k
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
What kernel tweaking app are you using ? Is mpdecision working after switching to elemental?
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Kernel adiutor atm and yea it's enabled mate
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Well that's a good thing that finally been fixed hypa used to break mpdecision. Thanks for testing anyway mate, I appreciate that.
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
No problem mate got curious about it myself lol what kernel are you using atm anyways?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Elemental ATM I might go back to lonleyx though.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
LonelyX kernel is fast, but the best kernel from the bunch I tested for now is hands down EX 6.0.2/6.0.3(they are nearly the same tho I prefer to flash 6.0.2). It's gpe based, but perform better than v7 for now. Performance is on lonelyx margins, but battery life is better... both are faster than ex 7, but 6.0.2/3 got best battery life. Btw, right now I am using the last s.rom A9 port that comes with 6.0.3 in aroma... I must say performance and battery life is insane. Will report tomorrow more, but looks a lot better than anything + sense 7_g is more lightweight than sense7, htc optimized A9 rom a lot better and as this is full port... yep. :)

A9 is close to M8 in specs... same screen resolution, size, qualcom chipset + 2GB RAM variant(the 16GB internal memory one) and that result in two things - good porting and optimizations on htc side as 2GB memory variant is present... that can't be said about the htc 10 port as that phone comes with 4GB of RAM and same optimizations is not only not necessary, but can make 4GB useless to some degree. Sad that the A9 port is discontinued. :)
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Thanks mate nice info as usual.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
[YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE]

Btw, tested EX 6.0.2 on bunch of roms and it perform really good on them all... better than any other kernel. Something to note.
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Thanks mate your a big help when it comes to kernels :) Do you use it stock setup or have you tweaked it?
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
I prefer to clock it @2.45GHz, stock voltage, stock wake gestures, stock gpu, elementalX thermal profile, Gboost turned off, magnetic turned off, stock vibration. To name the more important settings. :)

That way it's uber fast and really good on the battery. If you prefer to have even better battery life leave the cpu at stock that would set it to 2.25GHz and that's more than enough for everything.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
He's the best kernel tester I know, he taught me a lot and was the reason I got the tweaking bug lol.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
That's what annoys me I use those settings but ATM I'm only getting just under 4hrs and at the moment I'm only getting half a day.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Check th3 posts in battery life thread... he got the chance to have a few m8's and while they are same config+use he drop from 7+ and 8+ every time to max 5.5h SOT.. and this new vs old battery. I think qualcom bin diviation/variations plays the key role here... sadly some drains a looot more battery than others with same perf. Other I think that can play a part is the diff display manifacturer. Hmmmm
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I used to get a full day on sense 7 I use greenify and amplify and boot manager and still I it drains fast lol, I think I'm going to uninstall the battery helpers and see if it gets better, I know that sounds odd but I really think sometimes those apps make it right worse.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Remove all of them. I use none and get great results + ALWAYS rom without xposed! Read a lot it makes the phone battery a joke! Flash totally close to stock rom without any things as battery savers(yes, that inclides htc's one), amplify, exposed and so on. I bet you will get better battery life. You can also try if you want jw 5.4 the last a9 port... I run it with great result, just be sure 1) no exposed in sroma 2) ex 6.0.3 kernel 3) leave it sense_7g
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I'm curious as I've never used any of the sroms does 7g have the sense 8 blinkfeed or is it the same as 7, I think blinkfeed is so much better on sense 8, thanks for the info, I'm reluctant to dispose of xposed lol I only really use it for xtended settings I think it's easily the best customisation app available like viper without the bugs.
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Hey man is ex 6.0.3 kernel best in your opinion to use. Im using 6.02 gpe atm and its running very smooth so just wondering if its worth changing over.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Nook real difference mate out was just updated to any kernel.
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
I was using s.rom jw and its awesome only problem I had is that it doesn't have all the tweaks that comes with leedroid or ice rom etc with their own app. Although it does have a different twist on its setup than other sense based roms which is cool
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
And what about blinkfeed?
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Do it for the test. Use it a week or 10 days. No exposed + quick settings of sense 7g is the one you like more. Not sure about blinkfeed as I dont use it, but try the A9 port - it's fast, good on battery, sense 7g is lighter than sense 7, no bugs, both m8 and a9 camera apps... will keep you interested for a week to try it out. Seriously, that exposed thing kills ur battery most likely... try without it and any other battery tweaker. A9 port and android 6.0.1 gets a really decent job. Htc polished the a9 soft more than m8 one(not a surprice). Also 6.0.1 bares art optimizations... apps install notably faster on A9 port vs other roms.

No, same kernel. The only diff is fm radio module for gpe roms fix. For sense none, except anykernel that I don't like anyway.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
This is how it looks on the jw 5.4
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Totally agree with all this mate, the camera has slow mo working etc and as you said its QS is cool. I want to go back to it now lol I used to use xposed but with certain roms I had bugs or random reboots happening, now that Im running pretty stockish same as [MENTION=4126040]high_voltage[/MENTION] really its so much smoother and runs better. There was one rom a while back cant remember what it was but my battery was taking a big hit and it ended up being down to xposed or at least an xposed module so I have kept away from it and dont regret ;)
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Yeah that's sense 7 sense 8 has video I would imagine I could sideload it though.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Yeah it's a known fact xposed uses more battery but I really like xtended and flat style bars it's liked dynamic navbar only better. I'm very tempted to try it out though, if only just for qs tiles lol.
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Have you ever had any problems with xposed? My problem may have just been a module. Also for the QS with s.rom jw I think they had an app or setting that allows you to add apps and stuff to QS tiles lol If you do decide to try it one thing I will advice is dont use the htc10 ui thats there to flash from OP it has been made known that it eats the screen time up so much more than stock m8 ui.
