The UX and how the system feel are different though, It's more like Windows 8/8.1 imo, It's a good system and "metro" was **** for the pc users, so they've made 10 quickly with the optimiztions but old feeling, although it's a bit reversed, They've ported the design/feelings and not the tweaks for Android, M is what Lolipop should've been.

There's a huge difference though between KK and LP, After 3~5 days of using KK, I really miss LP and all of its features and awesome design choices, Also ART.

ART is the only thing that succeeded for Google with Lolipop (Outside of Material design [Even though arguably, Considering they've updated thier guidelines and stuff for Materiel design 6 months after, MD can be considered a failure for some] and maybe the UX, Talking about Battery life and stuff, Google really failed here)
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
You can enable art in KK too, tho it's not the final versions and as I heard it can cause so glitches. Keep that in mind if you try it out.

Manually packing kernel

Apologies for being a bit off topic.

Can anyone point me toward some info on how to manually pack/repack a kernel ?

I would like to learn ..well just cause...but specifically I just flashed DH GPE from last night and want to use Captain_Throwbacks BeyondStock 4.00 ..but it has some AnyKernel scripting issue ...or something. Captain said it would have to be repacked manually into the rom.

So while this maybe noobish for some of you guys, I've just never tried it this way and Google is being a ***** today . TIA

This is how we did it on hox mate, I've never tried on M8 though.

actually it's as simple as this.

but I don't how to get proper 4k lol

adb shell wm size 3840x2160

but idk what dpi and such :(

never

do adb shell wm size 2160x3840

I am doing 800x480 in AnTuTu for lulz and it looks so pixelated, you should try it, it's funny LOL

Other than that I think the best combo to try is 640 DPI + 1440 x 2560. Note 4~ also restarting solves the messy buttons, at least on kitkat.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
What rom are you testing on,

Also have you tried cm now they've fixed the amp.

Sent from my M8
[One (M8) General] JellyKitkatLoli:
Renovate 5.0, thier latest milestone which is 4.4.4.

I am testing the note 4 settings and it's pretty amazing, very sharp and decent, it's not as amazing as the 4k setting where the youtube app looks like it's mobile, but it's actually useable :p.

Some Sense UI things are messy, very much so, it looks like crap in fact, but that's to be expected, Android things and other apps are super sharp and amazing, and I don't want to try CM since I am not sure about the interaction with CM + Gapps, It installs Verizon google play and I don't want that, and I don't know if it's CM base which does it or the Gapps.

[One (M8) General] JellyKitkatLoli:
I have no clue, I just the banks one, which is automatic, it's pissing me off, I don't know if it was like this on AOSP, but I can tell you that on CM every Rom had the verizon version.

Also I tried AnTuTu with 2560x1440p and scored 43733, 3D was really weak, the score is 11871, however the FPS never went below 20 FPS which is fairly great.

Not bad at all, If I had a better Kernel+Lolipop 1440p would've been even better.

[One (M8) General] JellyKitkatLoli:
Actually I am just using ADB :p , according to the maker of the app, it just changes it through build.prop, which is what the ADB command does :good:

I think I'll try the latest renovate, and hmmm I think 640 DPI makes 1440p looks a bit worse on the M8, it's hard to get optimal settings.

Funny thing is that I've tried trading my M8 for a Note 4 yesterday, but in the end it didn't work out lol. 1080p and 1440p should be around the same though, I don't think anyone over here can spot a huge difference it would have to be the DPI :cyclops: which makes the difference look a bit more clear.

Either way I feel like everything right now is downscaled, In the end Native wins lol, fun stuff none the less.

Also higher power consumption but that's obvious :)

pretty sharp and awesome though

Either way I just spammed some tweaks like MIUI battery and other things, and I must say, it looks pretty good, getting tired of KitKat though, Miss ART.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I didn't try that low,

S6 is 2k.

I don't understand why you've gone off LP I could never downgrade, tbh I couldn't even return to sense 6.

Sent from my M8
[One (M8) General] JellyKitkatLoli:
You really should, as I've said the native dpi is the best, literally so.

I don't know if it's a downgrade per se, I wanted to try KitKat once and for, and it serves me pretty well, it is definitely not the same experience as LP, LP's UI, speed and such win.

But overall KitKat is truly humble on the battery and it's still pretty great, Hmmm I agree with you about Sense 6, 7 Is much much better, which is why I want the 5.1 upgrade, However Sense 6 on KitKat fits much more than Sense 6 on LP, I believe that S6 doesn't fit LP at all.
[One (M8) General] elandroido:
OT but you should wipe during rom change... And wait up to 10 minutes for first boot...

No idea what happened with the kernel installation, but a fresh ROM install did the job.
[One (M8) General] JellyKitkatLoli:
Yep, that's the only comprise to get everything else look sharp as heck, remember the HTC One M9+ is the first phone from HTC with 2K, obviously this wouldn't scale well as we don't have the apps from there :p .

I wonder what's the native DPI for the M9+

Edit; Imagine the deliciousness of 5.1 GPE + 2K + 480 DPI (Everything would scale properly due to google), I feel tempted to do that, In-fact, test time, argh sigh I can't install a clean 5.1 rom, Wish there were more kernels to choose from, been a month since source and only one kernel is here :( .

Edit 2: Well most of the things scale well and it's perfectly fine, however somethings don't scale but it isn't a big deal, overall it's very nice.

I think I'll just use the defult 1080p and 480, It's more natural and less power hungry :p was fun though.

I'm using it, it's smooth it's just stock with a few tweaks, it's not every going to be a super modded kernel so it's great if your just looking for stock kernel with the essentials. I'm yet to try sound quality and battery life I will report when I've had chance.

I really like lyapota kernel its very versatile and has great sound quality and as you know I like options and lyapota has loads lol.

Sent from my M8
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
From my brief experience I can tell two things:

1) lyapota kernel is faster(+GPU freq is 270min and less steps in cpu freq table - I guess that leads to better performance as for battery life we should just test it. Sometimes faster is better+a lot of freq switching around can be not that power friendly and you end up with less perf but same battery savings)

2) I think it heats faster under medium load

3) It's closer to stock

But I will really write after few days of use to check all aspects.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Always good to read your reviews mate.

I'm running 2.6ghz and get a full days just on high internet usage and 4hrs SOT, I couldn't get toad on LeeDroid kernel.

But I do think it's good kernel its smooth and slick with good fast loading app times and got good deep sleep.

It's just a bit too stock fort my taste if I'm honest.

[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Actually today I got great day with lyapota #36... set it up like follow: autobrightness on (full slider), dimmer mod set to 1, high performance audio ON, power saver auto at 15%, 2.26GHz hardcap via aroma installer, mpdecision, row 512Kb, UV -25mV and manual set up 2.26GHz step on 990mV and GPU on 578MHz. Well, well... I got 7 hours SOT and 25 hours on battery. Actually I did quite heavy usage as I used the phone even on sun light and 3G mobile data + didn't really try to conserve power in any way. I used it mainly for Facebook and build in enabled chat in it(sum it up to around 3 hours only on that), watched twitch streaming on source quality(for about 2 hours), youtube, viber, chrome, listened to music for around 40-50 mins, no games and only 15 mins in calls. Quite surprising, but with quantum I would get around 6 hours with that usage from the past runs.

Something to keep in mind, btw: if not hardcapped the max frequency all the real time monitoring programs report the CPU going to 2.45GHz no matter the setted via kernel application max frequency on 2.26GHz. The auditor warns that mpdecision can bypass that limitation and I guess it's right, no matter that statistical apps don't show it, the real time monitoring shows the jump. My point is that part of the battery life can be that I hardcaped to 2.26GHz instead of the 2.45GHz + the phone is colder from my previous two flashes of that kernel, but back then I used 2.45GHz hardcap and 2.26GHz manual setted up in kernel app.

will use it more and report back, but I can tell one for sure - both kernels rocks up. :)

I'm beyond well aware of that, However with that being said, The Multitasking in AnTuTu has an excellent algorithm and it instigates the device well enough to give you an accurate result, Along with what you would expect in Run time tab (From ART), And last but not least the 3D graphics is also well done in AnTuTu, Other than those 3 nothing else matters.

[One (M8) General] PwnCakes193:
I will be updating it soon. There's a lot to do, update kernel in line with HTC dev, change some random things, find a real fix for s2s, and some color control things. It'll be another crazy rebase of all the code but it should be less buggy, though I have to find testers due to the fact that I hate sense!

The interactive settings with Antutu would be lower. They're made to lean more towards the battery life side, and sustained low power modes while listening to music and driving, which I do all the time.

Also, you can get rid of the screen dimming by editing the init.d and rebooting!
