Don't forget the notifications that are only in the middle of the screen when in landscape - less intrusive and tons better than the full line of sense 7. Don't do anything, I already flashed the ice #64 so let me be the beta tester. :laugh:
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Yeah I really like the aosp style quick settings, they are beautiful compared to the boring old style of the HTC ones
[One (M8) General] fearfighters:
Appreciate you testing Ice #64!!! Been loving jw 5.4.0 as well and I am curious on how Ice #64 compares. :D :D
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
Bump for those interested in ICE
[One (M8) General] Durrz:
Any chance you could make an improved version of Hypernova as well?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Why don't you try this one mate, it's flying it's honestly life having a flagship again, it's so fast and smooth with great memory management and battery life.
[One (M8) General] Durrz:
Yup, I can attest to that it's buttery smooth. Only gripe is battery life. Not sure if I'm doing anything wrong but I'm getting usually 2:30-3h SOT with LTE 60-70% most of the time. Is this normal or might goldendroid MT tweaks play a role in the drain also?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
TBH perfectly honest it might not help it's a bit dated and development has stopped your better off with Lspeed, I'm using it currently and it's really good you should try that, I use to use golden droid and it used to mess my phone up
[One (M8) General] Durrz:
Are you using the stable or the beta version? I used to use L speed but I can't seem to apply the settings properly. I always suffer from lags and stutters
[One (M8) General] Ap3xGam3r:
Any word on that interactive profile your friend is working on for you? Just curious :D
[One (M8) General] fearfighters:
What settings did you apply for Lspeed? Just got the app now :)
[One (M8) General] rudachmed:
Will this work on Sprint Devices
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
Which file/parameters you changed?
[One (M8) General] alex6600:
dtsi. Parameter initial-pwrlevel.
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
Thanks. But can i tweak it in phone? I mean, i can't find that file in root of my phone. Searched in system folders and nothing.
[One (M8) General] alex6600:
You not. This in in kernel sources
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
I guessed. This commit https://github.com/flar2/m8_Sense/commit/3fe7ae41c8d5a7cd887cbb57399df2681a7e0c58

[MENTION=4126040]high_voltage[/MENTION] Damn, I found out what was responsible for the fast ART optimizations on JW 5.4.0

Thats dex2oat file in /system/bin/ folder. Just use it from JW 5.4.0 and push it to new rom with 755 permissions.

Ok, i tested now with GPE 6.0 rom:

1. First boot with default dex2oat took 6:45 minutes.

2. Then i pushed dex2oat from JW 5.4.0 to GPE 6.0 in /system/bin/ folder with Solid Explorer and gave permissions to that files.

3. Then I went to recovery and wiped Dalvik cache, Cache, Data and reboot system

4. First boot with JW 5.4.0 dex2oat file took 2:55 minutes.

Massive improvement, impressive!

Credit goes to [MENTION=586648]sun_dream[/MENTION] Thanks! :)

I attached a dex2oat.zip file. It's not flashable, just extract zip and push to /system/bin with 755 permissions ;)
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Superb! Just keep in mind that normally first boot is a little bit slower vs wipe cache/dalvik boot. Atleast I got that impressions in my countless wiping without actually measure it. Pretty possible to be just that tho... it's the ART optimizator after all and maybe the main change is in it! Thanks for the share! No thanks left for me today, but tomorrow is also a day. :D
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
Yes, I know that :) I measured only first boot time (wiped all, only system left). It is 60-70% faster.

I will test with stock rom, or LeeDroid :)
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Leedroid have other issues tho... keep that in mind(like slow random write , slowdowns, etc). Would recommend for the test ice #64, but it's already included in it... new version of viper should come out soon, but it's 6.0.1 so should be included in it. Dunno on what to try it. :D
[One (M8) General] alex6600:
Are you guys sure that this optimizations are the same?

And this only decrease time of first boot and app install.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Dunno from my side, but I didn't test it. Can tell you that ice #64 for sure have the real deal, i.e. not only app optimizing is fast, but apps installs/update fast. Nice of dev side to include it. Good ROM, now I just want to test the battery life and the settled performance, but so far so good. Only bug I noticed is that for some reason after a call it locks the screen... not a biggy - swipe up to unlock or double tap will wake it in an instant to press end call, but should be noted if one talks all the time on the phone.
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
[MENTION=4126040]high_voltage[/MENTION] Do you have those 2 lines of code in ICE #64 buld.prop?

#Optimal dex2oat threads for faster app installation

ro.sys.fw.dex2oat_thread_count=4

#Use 4 thread to improve dex2oat time

dalvik.vm.dex2oat-thread_count=4
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Are they build prop lines
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
The dalvik one in my build prop says thread count 2
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
Yes, they are in buld.prop. Stock rom doesn't have those lines. I am testing.

Stock rom with 167 aps and dex2oat file took 6:20 minutes. Thats fast! :) With those build prop lines 15sec faster.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I'm trying now and phone starts up virtually instantly wow, I wonder if I can change them to 6, it might make it even faster.

I 540 I already had them but the dalvik one was set to 2 so I changed it to 4
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Any one fancy testing something for me, I have made a little script that really gives my phone a boost, I want to share it but I'd like to test it here first
[One (M8) General] alex6600:
It's not make sense to set this option to 6. And 4 too.

AFAIK this option slightly improves creating ART cache.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Well 4 feels really fast
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Will you test something for me
[One (M8) General] alex6600:
With regular usage?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
So far apps are opening instantly and boot time has improved dramatically

And scrolling is liquid
[One (M8) General] alex6600:
Post your build.prop plz.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I've made a booster MOD with some nice tweaks I've come across I will be posting soon
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
OK guys new thread up check it out please, testing is over.

[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
They should help, but tge dex2oat is the main reason. Guys... second day and already 12.5h on battery and nearly 1h SOT... battery level 86%. Not a light usage - wrote in messenger(we all know that f*cker how heavy it is) and I even had some night photoshoot session for like 6m and 12-14 pictures on the moon with different camera modes. Performance is on the jw 5.4 level and comparable, smoothness also... but the battery life is insane. Standby insane, SOT insane... the F! Btw, something to note: if you jump now - DON'T change the stock kernel! Why? He clearly states he made changes on the ramdisk, i.e. optimized that also... maybe even the kernel sources. Atleast for 10 days go with the stock kernel before testing others for comparison, but I read back few pages in his thread and every single person who flashed custom kernel suffered from far worse battery life. Go with fully stock! Performance is jw 5.4 level, but battery life is FAR better... standby TONS better(lose around 2% during the night compared to 8% with jw 5.4... and this on the second day). Looks promising, will give screenshots and better overview tomorrow or in the weekend. Really wan't to test this out as if it turns out what it looks to be - this is battery life on kitkat level times for the performance of the jw 5.4 level.

Cheers, guys! :)

This is setting that use the all 4 cores of the CPU... 6 won't help :D

from 2 to 4 should be close to double the performance of that tasks.

---------- Post added at 09:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 AM ----------

Nope, none of them, but still fast optimizations/app installs/updates.
[One (M8) General] Oel:
Sounds realy good.

Please can you give me the link to this r64 rom or is it the repacked one?
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
There you go:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424948751

The ROM looks really promising tbh. Massive thumbs up from me. Will tell more after a few more days after it's fully settled and I have better feel of the performance/battery life. Peace.
[One (M8) General] Oel:
Thank you so much!

I will install this rom on the weekend. Will see the change on my battery hungry device. But still running good and fast.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Can tell you two things: for sure the battery life is massively better than jw 5.4 + stock kernel and for sure the performance is far far better(and smoother) vs any other ROM except jw 5.4. For comparison vs jw 5.4 in that regard I need more time(only second day now), but rest assure that it's fast and the battery life great. Just don't flash anything else(xposed, other kernel, etc). Flash, update and install apps - enjoy. One tip - if you wan't the sense home tweaks to work don't update sense home from the app store.

Also one thing to note: on my first restart after setting up the phone froze on startup logo screen. Hard reset(vol up/down + power button holding at the same time) fixed that and no problems after it. If happens to you don't panic, wait 5-6 mins and restart it as I did. Maybe was a hitchup only on me. Cheers! :)
[One (M8) General] Oel:
Thank you for your advice.

At the moment im on the jw 5.4 and thats the best rom for me in many ways. The performance is over the top. Only the juice consumption could be better. So lets have a look to the r64 and hopefully the dream come true.

Thank you!
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
The same reason I tried it(was the last ROM I didn't try)... didn't expect such a performance from it, but it's fast and smooth while battery life massively better than jw 5.4 + bonus it has a loooot of tweaks to make it personal and yours.

Right now I am already 1:40h SOT and over 15h on battery with 72% left... with medium-heavy usage(a lot of messenger and it's totally a heavy app + took 12-14 pictures for 6m in camera settings + autobrigtness and a lot of use in sunny environment, etc) and on second charge, i.e. still not settled ROM, will improve.
[One (M8) General] Balajumb:
I can vouch for you man

I might need to charge my phone twice a week if this is what it is and I'm completely stock as the rom came with nothing changed
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
This... I don't even know how he managed to do that and keep/make the ROM so fast and smooth.
[One (M8) General] Anonaru:
Bah. Hands Free activation doesn't work for me on a Sprint Boomsound HTC One M8. Never has :(

I wanted to try ICE so badly! Anybody know of a viable workaround or way to force the darn thing to work?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Do you mean loudspeaker
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Looking forward to it mate thank you
[One (M8) General] JellyKitkatLoli:
Can't wait :) It's the 4.25 latest base right? Also could you add Fastcharge right off the bet without messing with the init.d? :D it's a great feature and it doesn't cause any harm.

"GIMMIE PWNCAKES"
[One (M8) General] PwnCakes193:
Fastcharge can be enabled through init.d or through trickster or any other kernel modifying application, whatever settings you have after boot will apply on top of the init.d
[One (M8) General] JellyKitkatLoli:
That's exactly what I wanna avoid, I refrain from using Kernel tweaking apps or even modifying the init.d @_@ which is why I asked if you could enable it by defult.

Anyways it's not a biggie but would've been nice.
[One (M8) General] Bud Horn:
Sorry for noob again, mate...but what is this thing doing?

---------- Post added at 21:59 ---------- Previous post was at 21:56 ----------

Yeah, me too .. Qantum rocks ... Been on other kernels, but I always return to Qantum ... smooth and clean and really battery-friendly, mate

---------- Post added at 22:03 ---------- Previous post was at 21:59 ----------

THX, MATE ... I've been waiting for this ... thx, PwnCakes :)

I'll be happy to test it for you, mate....
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
It changes the fps cap mate makes things faster
[One (M8) General] PwnCakes193:
With fastcharge enabled you lose USB media capability, so I leave it out. If you don't like it you can just edit the init.d file before install and it won't mess anything up. If everything worked fine with it then I'd be glad to set it like that from the start!
[One (M8) General] JellyKitkatLoli:
Hmmm odd I was able to transfer media files with it enabled, in fact I could even feel the difference around 2~3 hours of charging? versus something 5 hours over normal usb?

Could you test it as well? I didn't know it stops using media sharing because it works fine for me, Maybe I am missing something but I doubt it, let's at least be sure :).
[One (M8) General] PwnCakes193:
I can't test it right now as there's nothing for 5.1, BUT I'll ask some of the people using the new kernel I made last night. There are 2 issues currently: no wifi, and the inability to have all the files transfer over to the folders they're needed in.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Op updated with a couple of hacks that look quite interesting.
[One (M8) General] JellyKitkatLoli:
I didn't even know that HTC has Multitasking restrictions, I wonder if it's on by defult or if it's present in the M8, I wonder if [MENTION=398245]LeeDroid[/MENTION] knows about this.

Maybe he should add it as a tweak :D
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Is not just for HTC some other phones apply it too this is pretty good I used it myself with no ill effects apps open faster ect I don't know if it would interest Lee.
[One (M8) General] JellyKitkatLoli:
The more tweaks the better ;), Although I guess it needs some teseting, I know, I am just surprised HTC has it or basically any other phone... lol imagine the ASUS 4GB of ram variant with this on, such contradiction, in fact I didn't know about its existance until now, Multitasking restrictions? WTF

Also "Its not an init.d script, its a build.prop patcher script " Could be a very simple thing to add.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
They've always done it as far as I'm aware in the old days we used to use supercharger and bullit proof the launcher to deactivate it.
[One (M8) General] francki:
Hey guys have you try the sched_tuner mod pointed at the end of the installation of the flag_tuner?

[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Is that the bit where it offers thunderbolt or supercharger tweaks if so I haven't tried them no, you can try them if you like and report back how it feels.

[MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION]

Yep I got a restart during AnTuTu with Erm Hypernova, I chose stock cooling oh well, Imma reflash (the rom) and get my SD back.

I have no issues with HyperNova it just doesn't fit my usage :p battery life is awesome though.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
You have to raise voltages to run antutu with hypanova mate for some reason.
[One (M8) General] golf12:
Do any of these kernels have issues with the software showing 5.0.2? Was just reading in the elementalx pages changing it helps?
[One (M8) General] elandroido:
Someone tested changing it and could not boot anymore...
[One (M8) General] Anonaru:
Who me? No, when I hit next after selecting Wi Fi Networks (None where I'm at, though this happens at home as well) the phone goes into "Hands Free Activation" and sits there on "Activating" indefinitely :(
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
What roms does this happen on mate
[One (M8) General] Anonaru:
ICE, one of Wolla (SD based)'s builds, and the latest Jazz ROM :( I was able to circumvent it on Jazz by bypassing the setup, though this led to a neutered experience. ICE boot looped when I tried this method
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Those roms offer sprint support don't they?
[One (M8) General] Anonaru:
Yessir, they all do :( Never could get a meaningful answer on the ROM threads. If nothing else, I have good ol' LeeDroid and Viper to fall back on :)
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Have you tried 540 mate superb rom
[One (M8) General] Anonaru:
Yep I have a nandroid of a fully set up jw540 just in case things go south :)

I'm going to find a way past this damn hands free thing :eek: if I find anything meaningful I'll share it!

[One (M8) General] fearfighters:
Do you know if there is a sense 8 transformation mod for the ICE R64? Just wondering. :p
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Most likely ROM moding will be needed for that... try to msg badnewz for a way out. Asking politely the dev for advice is doing wonders. :)

There is one sense 8 package/flashable zip a few pages back. Originally it was intended for jw 5.4, but should also work for ice #64. Also ice is sense 8 inspired out of the box... a lot of sense 8 apps to make it feel close to it. My advice is to use it stock for atlest one week. Battery life and smothness are top notch. Smoother vs any other rom except jw 5.4, but close to it... while battery life is insanely good.
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
Anyone tested ElementalX repack 7.00.3 kernel?

I think it's smoother than default 7.00 :)

And this repack kernel works on GPE.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I think it's awesome mate, I'm really impressed I personally think it's the smoothest kernel I've used on my m8
[One (M8) General] Anonaru:
And it isn't sprint-friendly :crying: Curses! If only they weren't giving me such a good deal on my plan :D

This thread has become an amazing resource for things to try though!
[One (M8) General] alex6600:
It's stock ElementalX, with some improves.

Try it and give review :)
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
It's definitely smoother than default ElementalX. I will say better.

One question... :) Why did you use one zram block? Is there any benefit? A saw on stock rom that there are 4 zram blocks.
[One (M8) General] alex6600:
Most kernels use default in-krenel zram module, wich allows to use only one thread. As our device have 4 cores- creates 4 zram devices for multithreading.

My repack uses latest patches from 3.18+ with multithreading support and lz4 compression, instead default lzo. Because I use only one zram diveice with 4 threads.
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
So it's better to use one zram device with 4 threads with your patches, then default in-kernel solution which uses only one thread?

I heard LZ4 is much faster. :)
[One (M8) General] alex6600:
I think- better.

LZ4 also faster then lzo.

Unfortunately it won't
[One (M8) General] mrrocketdog:
any ElementalX AOSP build , anyone?

"err on the side of kindness"
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Guys, the battery life of ice #64 is insane... seriously, I had over a day in sunny light + half of it on 4g/3g(and using it actively!) And 6h SOT! While on jw 5.4 I would had 4.5 at most. Insane + apps install/update faaast and smoothness/performance is of jw 5.4 caliber. You all should try it. Trust me, won't lie to you. Just don't mod anything for atleast 10 days... as the rom settles a little slower than jw 5.4 and become insanely smooth after around 5 days, but boy oh boy after it's there the phone is like new. Battery life is almost as when I firstly fired up the phone 2y ago and the phone is smooth and fast as hell.
[One (M8) General] Ap3xGam3r:
Are you using any custom kernels like the repack that was posted here?
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
It's with stock kernel i think :)
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Yes and no... I use the kernel that comes with ice #64 and it's based on the stock kernel, but badnewz(the developer of the rom) made changes to it so you can count it as custom kernel that's close to stock.

Keep in mind that everyone who changed the kernel reported worse battery life. I don't see reason to change the kernel... it's FAST and smooth as hell while giving battery life like nothing else. I tried every kernel and ROM. This one gives the performance/smoothness around the previous winner jw 5.4 while giving 2-3 times better standby(screen off) and a lot better screen on.

My only advice is atleast 10 days on purely stock ice #64 without xposed/custom kernels/mods... to see what I am talking about.

Yes. :)
[One (M8) General] Ap3xGam3r:
Alright, thanks for being the ice r64 tester :D will be trying out this rom today!
[One (M8) General] Oel:
Yeah.

I installed the rom last night. what i can see is, the batterie level holts longer on his numbers. the rom is realy fast fast. i love it. will see after some days how the rom will settle in my phone.

jw 5.4 was a damn good rom, but i have the feeling i am better with this rocking r 64.

Thanks again!
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Will be a lot smoother, little bit faster, battery life noticeable better in screen on and a lot better in screen off. I can literally charge in two days now... or go to bed wtih lets say 39 percent and wake up on 37. It's just so good. :)
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
There you go... 24h on battery from them 22 on 4g and over an one hour using the phone on 4g. 2h SOT(all of them in medium/bright screen) after 24h on 4g and still 69% battery is something to tell about. I can actually really charge in two days and the phone is fast/smooth+apps install/update fast. Never saw something like that past kitkat times... and this on 2y old battery. I am sure if I use the phone at home with wifi that I will get 8-9h SOT and whole day np. Also the usage in those 2h was facebook, messenger, viber, clips on facebook, chrome + clips there and 40m listening to music. As you can see not the easiest on the battery usage. :)
[One (M8) General] Ap3xGam3r:
Did you do anything in addition to flashing this ROM to get these amazing results (like limiting background processes maybe?) I have never with my time with this phone gotten past 4 hours of SOT....
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Nope... I use it stock and without any things like greenify/exposed modules/amplify. I just turn off apps anon usage statistics + turn off google voice activation and google security settings.
[One (M8) General] Ap3xGam3r:
And where do you turn those off from?
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Settings-google-security-off on all the 4 of them. The voice activation is also google-search-voice. :)
[One (M8) General] Ap3xGam3r:
Alright, thanks a lot! How about that usage statistics? Where do I go to turn that off?
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
App dependent... for example in viber it is in privacy settings. For gsam battery in options and so on. Check them all. Also I have adaway for blocking ads.
[One (M8) General] CikiPiki:
Do you go with that Full AOT in instalation aroma?
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
No, I prefer the default android AOT. Full AOT won't slowdown only the initial app optimization, but every app/install + in some cases can lead to slowdowns. My opinion, can be wrong so your choice. :)
[One (M8) General] Ap3xGam3r:
If I want to undo my choice of full aot, can I just dirty flash the ROM to change the setting or do I have to wipe first again?
