Yes, the jw 5.4 is just the best ROM atm + sense 7_g interface + stock kernel(fastest of all). I tried the latest r31 leedroid and it's awesome, but... it's slower(keep in mind - same kernel, the stock one), the random read/write is still there most of the time(you can get the previous pages posted results, but it's not consistent), apps install few times slower... example: fresh jw 5.4 install and full setup - 40m for all and only around 10-15% battery drained, leedroid? 2H+ and 50+ battery drained and a lot more heat(apps install awfully slow). Talking about heat - same usage pattern(chrome, fb, messenger apps) on leedroid heat the phone to 39-40 degrees while jw 5.4 goes only 36 degrees. HUGE difference as 40 is unconfy to hold the phone for everyday tasks... this is huge deal for me and both ran the same kernel. I am picky btw, I mean - both are awesome ROMS and if you badly want some of the lee's features - it's totally good to go. The heat is too much for me tho, but maybe with diff kernel it will be better. Stock is no go.. 40 degrees for messenger, fb, chrome? Not to mention youtube 1080px60fps that goes 42 degrees in no time, on jw it goes 38 and a lot slower. Didn't notice before as it was a lot colder... not in the summer is a huge deal.

For me, stock gpe + Skydragon kernel is super smooth. :) But JW 5.4.0 is also great.

[MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION] you still using S.Rom JW 5.4.0 with the Sense 8 Mod? Can you post what lines you changed in build.prop to get the full HTC 10 system?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I just changed the m8 Libra in build prop to 10 and the playstore updates the 10 apps, if that what you mean.

I'm not 100% sure it updates all apps though.

If you get it fixed with the percentage etc give me a shout mate :)
[One (M8) General] alizuhal:
I was wondering if anyone could share stock kernel for sense MM. I searched everywhere without success.
[One (M8) General] MakinG2xLovin:
Ehh you need flash mm latest firmware
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Sadly, no one did it as separate zip... you should reflash the whole ROM to get it back + the mods you have... but the stock kernel is the smoothest. I am now with jw5.4 + ex 6.0.3 and tbh while the battery is a little better, the smoothness is not the same. From super smooth and like nowdays device it's okish. Not sure if it's not modded in jw/s-rom btw... or just luck that it combines that good with the A9 ROM. Standby is around 0.8%/h true(with ex 6.0.3 is more like 0.5%/h), but SOT is a little lower if using the device and smoothness is omfg. :)))

Last observation and kinda /off. Your question is sadly no, as I searched few months ago with no vein. Cheers!
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
6.0.3 is smooth as silk for me and has more customisation so I've stuck with that to be honest, I have also been using a modified ex 7 that is also very nice and has better memory management made by [MENTION=949860]alex6600[/MENTION] he may be willing to share if he notices my mention, I really like it myself.
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
Better memory management? Hmm, LMK tweaks?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
No using a newer method and it's faster, hopefully [MENTION=949860]alex6600[/MENTION] will see my posts and he can let you know what's incorporated.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
It is, indeed, smooth and fast. The difference is small so nothing wrong to go with it.
[One (M8) General] alex6600:
My repack of Flar's ElementalX make for myself. Most of changes- zram related, as M8 use zram even in stock. Some optimized memory related tweaks and disable tons of unnecessary logs.

But I think that Flar (which is really guru) will upset if this repack gone to public.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
No problem it's a shame though I really like your port, although I'm not sure this thread would class as public and there are loads of ports of his work available publicly, and his work is open source so I believe that with credits given it is allowed, maybe you could pm him and ask permission to share on my thread to the local community, it seems a shame as your version is really really good IMHO and many other m8 users I feel would love it. Thanks for the reply whatever your decision mate.
[One (M8) General] alex6600:
Ok. I PM him.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Thank you I really feel your port deserves to be shared, that is if it's your choice.
[One (M8) General] Anonaru:
I'm with him-- as long as Flar knows and is ok with it, we all can benefit from more choices kernel wise :)
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
Wait, thats great to hear.

But, how it does work? We can tweak other kernels?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
It's just a tweaked up version of elemental mate, I don't think he's done any other kernels, elemental is currently the most feature rich kernel available on m8 and probably imo opinion best performance and battery, with alex6600 his has better memory management and increased battery life due to less logs, and the new zram is great although a small edit to a system file is needed after installation.
[One (M8) General] alex6600:
I absolutely do not mind to share my repack. If Flar2 give permission- I'll post it here.

PS. I pm'med him.

---------- Post added at 05:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 PM ----------

Also, if anybody using ElementalX kernel- I recommend also use EX Kernel Manager. Flar2 developing APP, and posting updates frequently. And this is the one of the best kernel tweaker app, IMHO.
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
When you say better memory management, you mean that phone can cache more apps in memory, right? Small system usage?

ElementalX for GPE is slow. On Sense that kernel is better.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Agree well worth the money.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Yeah that's the one mate lol, I get around 600mb free with [MENTION=949860]alex6600[/MENTION] ex port.
[One (M8) General] alex6600:
Not exactly. Try tune LMK for this.

My changes- patches for memory/math function improvements, LZ4 algo for zram compression, multithreading for zram. Disabled some logging. And changed compiler to optimized Linaro 4.9 for Cortex_A15 from Christopher83.

This can give overall better memory usage. And improve zram swap speed, as lz4 faster than default lzo. If you have many apps running- swap used a lot and often.

PS. I have 500-700 MB memory free with my typical phone usage.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Where is the HTC 10 settings app mate, it's not showing, I still have the old sense 7 settings
[One (M8) General] alex6600:
ElementalX repack

This repack of Flar2 ElementalX 7.00 kernel.

Changes:

Add LZ4 compression/decompression

LZ4 compression for zram (faster than default LZO)

Multithreading compression for zram

Memory/Math related function optimization

Disabled some logging

Changed compiler to Linaro 4.9.4 for Cortex A15 from Christopher83

Warning

Installer make some changes in /etc/fstab.swap file!

New file should looks like this*:

# Android fstab file for enabling zRAM on 2GB device

# zramsize is mandatory and indicates how much uncompressed memory you want the zram area to hold.
# Compression ratios in the 30-50% range are usually observed.

#<src> <mnt_point> <type> <mnt_flags> <fs_mgr_flags>
/dev/block/zram0 none swap defaults zramsize=858993460,swapprio=1000

* By default, m8 uses 800 MB swap.

Downloads:

ElementalX-m8-7.00.2-Sense_alex6600

For tuning tons of kernel parameters- I recommend to use EX Kernel Manager from flar2.
[One (M8) General] sonderling:
How this kernel works with Wolla v6.2?
[One (M8) General] alex6600:
Should.

I use this kernel for Maximus/SD. Works great.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Thank you my friend much appreciated.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Is it possible to make a script that edits fstab during install, that would be really good.

If not I may get able to get something for you.

You still on JW 5.4 [MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION] mate and trying this kernel?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Yes mate and this kernel runs great imo.
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
This is how it looks for me, did you choose the Sense 7 UI in s.team settings? I'm using on Vzw HTC One m8, clean flashed s.rom 5.4.0 with the sense 8 MOD 2.0 right on top then rebooted.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
It's OK it was something my end, I moved the zip to external storage but when I flashed it it messed some things up, I redownloaded and it's fine now thanks again for the update.

Cool, glad you got it figured ou [emoji106]
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:

[One (M8) General] sonderling:
I must do a wipe before i flash this kernel? I'm on SkyDragon rom
[One (M8) General] alex6600:
No.
[One (M8) General] Durrz:
So I came from Hypernova Kernel, and whenever I flash this zip it always results to a corrupted SD card. But whenever I reflash hypernova, the problem goes away. Any insight on this?
[One (M8) General] Bobbi lim:
You need to reflash stock kernel by dirty flashing your ROM before flashing the kernel.

Different custom kernels should not be flashed over one another. This tend to results in unwanted issues.
[One (M8) General] Durrz:
Thanks for the added knowledge! It works now :)
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Dirty flash your rom with stock kernel and let it boot then go back to recovery and flash this kernel, it should cause no issues then.
[One (M8) General] natgear2510:
My Verizon phone on S.Rom JW-5.4.0 does not like the ElementalX Repack Kernel. Goes straight to bootloader on reboot. I flashed from Stock Kernel. Has anyone else on VZW tried it?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Elemental x is GSM only,unless you use flarport.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
You must use the Ex 6.0.3 that comes with the jw 5.4 - it's compatible.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
He was asking about the repack not working on Verizon, the repack is GSM only the same as the official ex, the one included in the rom is for any m8 variant.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Yep, thus he can go for the 6.0.3 in the jw 5.4.. it's more than good and works on any carrier variant.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Have you installed the repack to try it mate.
[One (M8) General] alex6600:
I've changed installer in this post, for fstab.swap placed automatically.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Nope, I am on the stock kernel again. For me it works the best with the A9 port. Not far behind is the ex 6.0.3 tho. Just a tad less smoother for more battery life.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
This is smooth as silk and memory management is great, you should give it a run I'd like to hear your opinion.
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
See for this file and code you said to amend is this the way the new file should look exactly with the other lines deleted from it?

# Android fstab file for enabling zRAM on 2GB device

# zramsize is mandatory and indicates how much uncompressed memory you want the zram area to hold.

# Compression ratios in the 30-50% range are usually observed.

/dev/block/zram0 none swap defaults zramsize=858993460,swapprio=1000
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
If you download the kernel again it now does this editing automatically, his post has been updated.
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Ok I will do that then make it easier. I did the file as shown above but then didnt know if he meant change all the zram lines to look like that or delete the others
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
It was delete these others but not needed now lol.
[One (M8) General] natgear2510:
It should be compatible for idiots like me! Lol! I feel left out!

Been meaning to post this for some time, but just wanted to thank you for all your hard work in navigating the ROMs, sound mods, kernels etc!

You've done an excellent job in being unbiased and producing reproducible instructions for us end users!

More recently, I've installed ARISE via AROMA and this ElementalX Kernel with [MENTION=949860]alex6600[/MENTION] mods and so happy that you pushed it forward into the public. I just installed this morning and been extremely happy with the performance, quickness, and memory utilization mods on top of an already solid kernel.

To all devs that read this, I've probably tried your stuff on the m8 and d2att/d2lte at some point! Many thanks for putting in the time and effort for your hard work and enthusiasm! I don't think you all hear it enough, how much your work is appreciated!

----

Today's Flavor:

*Leedroid 8.2.4 Stable

*ARISE Exodus Final dirty flashed over 0.9.9.8.5 AROMA with JBL (via HK Switcher 5.0.3); new Dolby, no AT3d, smeejaytee presets, no JBL presets, at the moment trying out Audiophile 6.0; I feel like I am missing something here! :P

*Systemless Root SuperSU 2.76 Stable with Android Pay working

*ElementalX 7.00.2-Sense_alex6600 - all defaults, Disabled S2S and Magnetic Cover, enabled FAST USB Charge in AROMA.

*TWRP 3.0.2.0

*AT&T 6.20.502.5 from HTCdev RUU, then installed LeeDroid, AT&T VoLTE_OPT_OUT not needed (so far working without issue; one thing to note, when on the RUU, I disabled Enhanced LTE from the settings on the phone, not sure if that change is an account change or local only)

Will your changes impact the battery life or thermal throttling?

I'm on latest leedroid and I think Htc power manager is enabled by default. Should I disabled it ? Or leave it enabled ?

It's essentially the same mate battery life is slightly better if anything
[One (M8) General] alex6600:
Thermal throttling option choosing in installer. I did not change this.

Changes that I have made optimize some functions and make more faster swap subsystem. This has a positive impact on battery life.
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
I have tried ViperM8 v6.0... This ROM is not so smooth, JW 5.4.0 and debloated Stock rom have better scroll in apps. I don't know why + venom hub is laggy app.

And i like what Venom devs did, it is still great rom. But i want more performance. Back on JW 5.4.0 + ElementalX 7.0 ;)

[One (M8) General] Zile995:
Thanks mate.

Stock JW kernel has sensitive GPU settings. GPU freq is changing, from 200MHz to 330MHz, with normal usage. Anyone noticed? That's why it's fast. But yeah, battery is better with ElementalX 7.0(@alex6600 build) or official elementalx.

Stock kernel on stock HTC rom doesn't change gpu freq quickly. Interesting :)

[One (M8) General] Balajumb:
Hey guys is there any way to change the quick settings drop down from aosp to sense in the 7_g version?
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
I did and mentioned it long time ago(like few months :D). Yes, it idle at 330MHz and under low load like scrolling it drops to 200MHz. This I believe is made for smooth scrolling and snappier feel and does that job really well. The only other kernel I saw that do that is lonelyx kernel, but that kernel doesn't work with jw 5.4. Also to note that the stock kernel in jw is the htc stock kernel thus that behavior is totally engineered by them. Btw, there is a new SD kernel, but didn't tested it yet:

http://skydragon.info/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=14

Yes, there is an option for sense 7 in JW settings in the... settings. :D

The problem is that the sense 7 interface of the jw 5.4 ROM is ported from M9 and got two bugs - the quick settings for brightness is skipping auto when toggled around and recent menu windows/tiles are with wrong aspect ratio.
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
On stock rom with stock kernel, gpu is always on 200MHz idle, i tested. JW is different.

And yeah... New skydragon works great on GPE and Sense. On GPE it is smoothest kernel.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=67349618 :)

Sense or GPE based, i don't know :D
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Strange as it was like that on the developer edition stock ROM when I flashed it back in December? Hmmmm :)

Well... I will do it for you guys - flashing the new SD kernel on the jw 5.4 to see if it will boot and how it will behave. Someone gonna do it and why not me? HF to me and GL to all of us! :D

Edit: The new SD kernel will not boot on the jw 5.4 :D

Will pass as I just flashed again jw5.4

After the bootloop I decided to flash the latest leedroid - a really nice ROM, without bugs, a lot of tweaks, modern feel... but 3h setup + 70% battery to do that. Apps install slow and update slow. I really like jw 5.4 fast app install/update... flashed it today and guess what? 15% to finish the whole setup and only around 45mins with all app install, etc. It's lightweight, debloated, working without any bugs, apps install like on modern phone(fast), smooth and the fastest ROM currently for M8.

Will try viper after few more versions of them... maybe, as I look at galaxy s7 edge for next buy(the exynos version and that is FAR more superior to their sd 820 version - night and day difference. Most of the complains in the forum is from the sd820 version that is just plain bad). My m8 will go in my mom hands tho so it will be in the family. Just my contract ends and I will pay a lot less monthly fee if I renew it, and sadly if I don't buy a new phone now I would need to stick with the M8 another two years or pay the full price for my next phone while right now I got almost half the price of s7e/s7 or htc 10. S7e exynos has a poor sound from the speakers - true, but in my hands will easily have 10h SOT, the screen is gorgeous, heat minimal(gaming for hours and 35 degrees while htc 10 reach 42 in 5 mins and throttles like crazy dropping the perf to M8 level :/), performance great and gaming too. Htc 10 - more I read, more it's luck based of what unit you will end up - bad QA and a lots of problems(overheating, bad gaming performance, slow loading of apps, speakers sound is so low that it actually sound worse than the s7e, screen problems, coating problems, wifi killing the battery life, slowdowns under hot environment and so on, read a lot, sadly). Still not a bad device, but not that much better than the M8 with jw5.4 while the s7e is actually quite appealing - lol, that comes from a pro samsung hater till s6/s6e generation where they stepped it up. :)
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Im actually going out tomorrow to look at phones because my contract is up and couldnt for the life of me decide what i want. I was thinking about waiting on the new nexus but dont know as it doesnt go on contract etc. You have me slightly more interested in the s7 edge than I was before though lol

I miss my one x still, it was a great phone.

My m8 is still awesome and TBH with current releases I'm not over bothered about upgrading, it still does everything I need and has amazing choice for sound which is unmatched in any other device.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Agree, the device is flying, camera is quite ok, sound awesome, battery life more than good(getting 7h SOT and whole day on two years old battery is quite something) and software recent. Nothing to really complain about. I will upgrade only so I can give it to my mom and because otherwise I would have to stuck for two more years with it or pay the full price when I buy a new phone. Now I will get the galaxy s7e for 563.75$ instead of 845.63$

[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
It's not bad, but the MIUI + bad support from xiomi(not sure even if they will update it once... not to talk about two years) + for sure little custom development = skip.

I wan't a phone that have life beyond it's normal life cycle and a lot of devs working on it. Phones like nexus, htc, samsung. :)
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
True but money is tight ATM and it does have aosp
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
TBH if I where you and with tight budget, I would recommend you to stay with M8 and maybe in a year - change the battery with new original one. The xiomi won't be any faster/smoother, the software will be worse, the sound will be worse, the looks will be worse(strictly personal, but still...), camera won't be massively better. Just no real reason to upgrade towards it. You already got a really nice phone that runs perfectly every program/game and doesn't look like soon it will have trouble to do so. Even oneX can still run everything with ease and M8 got all you really need from a phone + good custom software. Not to mention that I am sure the viper port will be polished in future and become something big on our M8.

For me the only phones worth upgrading from M8 is in the s7e caliber. Really, I would never change it for something else. The phone is a beast. The only reason to think the change is that I want to give it to my mom + we are talking about s7e that have something to offer and I can have it with 1/3 of the price discount. Otherwise would never consider it.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Have you flashed it? Does it have the aosp quick settings?

I'm curious about it but I really like the aosp style of 5.4.0
