Well, starting a thread would probably not be worthwhile because mushages already has that long standing thread.

More importantly is that I tend to have a "typophile" nature (I know what sh*tty fonts look like). As such, it would be likely that the only fonts I'd want to create would be high-end fonts (like the two above) which are license-only 90% of the time.

While most moderators wouldn't know if a font was licensed or open-source/public domain by name alone, someone would probably say something in such a thread. The mods would delete it and I'd most likely be in violation of their "warez" policy.

So I'm going to just keep it to a few here and there.

But I have been spending a lot of time in Android Studio learning Android based java (knew a little java already)... So hopefully I will be able to write something useful soon.

Well I'd like a readable elegant handwriting font if possible mate.
[One (M8) General] syntropic:
How readable? Do you want it to mimic actual handwriting top some degree? Or just a "script" font. I mean the range of script fonts is huge, everything from "Murray Hill" (which has been around for years and is a nice font (and open source I think), but it almost looks like it should be in a wedding invitation.... To your basic "script font" (that's the name), and it comes with a lot of basic Adobe font sets.

One foundry that initially made a name for itself was Sudtipos. Scroll through their page on myfonts.com (they have 172 fonts total, but not all are scripts). If you see something you like you can select it, and then on the right side it will say "See 132 [or some number] more fonts like this one", and if you click that, you will get another list of similar fonts you can look at to drill down to what you really like.

Here is the sudtipos page at myfonts.com

[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Mimic actual handwriting sounds cool.
[One (M8) General] syntropic:
I guess I should clarify so we both know what you are thinking. I think I've seen a screencap of your phone before, but not sure...

Do you want handwriting like someone wrote it or handwriting in the classic sense, like you would write 30 years ago...in cursive? Script fonts tend to have a cursive look to them, as the letters often try to link with the next letter...

In fact there are some very cool open-type fonts that have contextual ligatures, so if you wrote "Relevant Elegant", the lower case "e" followed by the lower case "l" would look different than the lower case "e" followed by the "v" in the word "Relevant"—and possibly even still different than the e-g ligature in "Elegant"; the two "a-n" ligatures would likely be the same because they are the same two letters. The problem is that I don't think Android supports this open-type technology...It tends to be used on type-setting/page layout applications like Adobe InDesign.

But anyway, if you want actual script font (letters that appear to look genuinely connected like cursive), it will probably be hard to read on our phone despite how nice the screen is. But you can still have handwriting fonts that use printed letters...

I have done some Photoshop pieces with fonts that really look look like handwriting, but I think it would drive you crazy to have to read this kind of writing on your phone.

Just scroll down the page below and give me names of three or four you like, and I'll find ones that capture what you are looking for and would work well (for instance, the font should have both a regular and bold weight so I can put both in the apk).

I quite like the write hand font that looks nice mate.
[One (M8) General] Bud Horn:
Hey guys. I'm on the new hypernova kernel. I think it's really good. Only been about 24 hours, but it seems very promising, mates ???
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Have you tried to do a benchmark yet I'm curious whether it's improved.
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
I benchmarked it mate unfortunatley still pretty low but I love Hypernova kernel and the latest 1 did nice for battery :)
[One (M8) General] syntropic:
Ok. Here is your font (WriteHand). It didn't have a bold weight, and I'm not sure if the SystemUI makes a "fake" bold (like MS-Word and Photoshop can do), or if you just don't get a bold. Let me know.

I'm curious because in one of the xml files, I actually link the regular font to DroidSans (must be some old hack because that is how flipfonts work) and then link the bold font to DroidSans-Bold. If there isn't a bold font, I just link the regular to both DroidSans and DroidSans-Bold.

But because I didn't want you to have a script font without a bold (if that is what happens), I found another rather cool script font called "Scriptonite". It has a bold weight.

So below are two apks. One for Scriptonite and one for WriteHand. I installed them both on my phone and they work fine, although I think I'd change the font size of Scriptonite to "Large"

Scriptonite is really nice but write hand was a bit too scruffy and hard to read it also comes up quite big on the screen but thanks good work mate.

I kinda suspected WriteHand would be a bit tiresome to read after a point.

Hey... I read on pwncakes thread that he said you can actually OC the CPU to higher than the steps that the kernel has... He said you could safely OC to 2.88.

I don't think I'd leave it at that max because of thermal issues, but has anyone done this?

I have my own init.d script which I have used instead of Kernel Auditur once when was experimenting with interactive, although I like being able to change some settings on the fly so I don't use it really. But I am not sure what you would set to 2880 MGHz.

Anyone know?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I used 2.8ghz on an old kennel with no issues at all and my phone was always cold.

And boy was it snappy.
[One (M8) General] syntropic:
Well I'd love to try that... I just don't know what parameter to echo the value to.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Try asking PwnCakes he would probably help mate.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Quick tip for quantum kernel and smoothness ---> try to remove init.d script quantum tweaks(it's mmc tweaks + row/sio tweaks, i.e. i/o scheduler). Don't delete it, just cut-paste elsewhere so you can try and if you don't like how your phone works, put it back in. The script looks like for nexus4/nexus5 and causes microstutters, inconsistencies, worse gaming, lower i/o read/write especially random. After removing it the kernel is SMOOTH as hell compared with it. Seriously, you all should try that.

P.S. After removing the script restart the phone.
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Cool mate ill try it. Are you still using the settings you gave awhile back on quantum kernel?

Delete the folder system/etc/init.d/93quantumtweaks or stuff inside it?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Nice tip mate thanks for that.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Multicore power save: off, work on aweke cpus: off, max cpu: 2.26GHz, max gpu: 578, simple gpu: off, row scheduler 512kB, mpdecision, entrophy: 64 read, 128 write - row scheduler likes that to be speedy. In init.d quantum settings: pocket detection off and sws off. I think this cover the most if not all.
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Thank you mate, have you reduced voltage -25? Also forgot to ask did you mean delete the folder system/etc/init.d/93quantumtweaks or stuff inside it?
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Delete the whole file or just move it to another location so you can put it back on later stage if you want that. Restart the phone after that and welcome to smoothland. :)
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I can definitely see a difference mate especially when opening the app draw and settings and such,

How are your benchmarks.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Androbench is higher, especially random read/write iops + app open time. Antutu is up in i/o performance with insane amounth(from 1200 to 1800-1900). Dungeon hunter 5 runs tons better with a lot less stuttering, chrome runs better too, facebook scrolling is a lot smoother + faster, multitasking is better and the whole system is more speedy, smooth and reliable. It's noticiable better, ye. :)

I guess that this tweaks works good for another phone(nexus 4 and 5 atleast) with row scheduler and differnt mmc, but for ours it backfire and kills i/o performance to the level where in curtain tasks you have stuttering.
[One (M8) General] syntropic:
Wow... I can't believe you wouldn't just start with no tweaks and then trial and error from there before creating a "tweaks" init.d script (copied from another phone/kernel if that was the case).
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Dunno as I am no developer, but for sure the phone runs tons better without that tweaks init.d. :)
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
[MENTION=4126040]high_voltage[/MENTION] is your battery good with Quantum, mine went down pretty quick but havent had a chance to give it a full charge yet will that help?
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Well, I can normally get 7h of sot and whole day(20h) if I don't play games. Yesterday I was 2h and 10m with 80% battery remaining - facebook, chrome, youtube videos in chrome. Kinda ok. Nowdays I kinda play dungeon hunter 5 on daily basics so hard to give full day without games, but it's not bad in any say. Note that you need atleast 3-4 days and more like a week with a new kernel before having optimal performance/battery life, a lot of caching, media scaning and whatnot is going in the first days. Cheers!
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Thanks bro that makes sense :) your like a kernel/battery genius you know so much :good:
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
So wish I could match that I'm lucky to get 3 hrs sot with the same settings but I've given up trying lol I can get most of the day out of a charge so it will suffice, I think I may need a clean install as I'm always flashing and testing different stuff this probably doesn't help with the matter but I've not been able to get past 4 hrs sot since lollipop.

I'm also curious as to whether you use ksm ?
[One (M8) General] syntropic:
I wonder about KSM too.

With auto brightness (only feasible indoors as I have the dimmer mod off so it is always pretty low) I can get maybe 6-7 hours SoT. I try very hard to make sure everything is dark (Google books, or any apps...all have dark themes). Wallpaper is predominantly dark. I think these things help.

And then, I just use greenify. I'm not even sure if I under-volt (tend to play with CPU, gpu governors and I/O schedulers a lot.)

Removing that tweak script helped a lot.... And recently, my I/O has been on SIO and everything is smooth (now even more since ditching those tweaks) and battery life is better.

Edit: I know it was mentioned, but could someone give me good entropy settings? I think mine are screwed up.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Nope, I don't use ksm. :)
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I use ksm as this kernel doesn't have zram, pity was actually me who suggested PwnCakes to use it ksm is better than zram in the fact that it doesn't use actual ram to do its thing, only downside is that it has to wake the CPU to scan files, this leads to more battery drain but you can change scan intervals to reduce the consumption.

As for entropy default is 64 128 .
[One (M8) General] JellyKitkatLoli:
Well initial reactions from BS are good, Except that opening app menu after a reboot has a larger delay than on Quantum and SD (This was fixed with the latest update to the launcher, Odd that it has returned), Menus are as fluid as you would expect, But Argh having no UsbFast charge is such a pain, I have to use USB through the computer at the moment and I've started my two hours of testing outside with 82% I got home with 52% (With 1:30 hours of SoT) Played some Goat Sim (10 Minutes SOT) and a lot of youtube over H+, and I wanna charge it sigh :(

I can't test anything if my battery's ain't good enough for this.

Also I've edited my previous post a bit (A lot.) And I need sleep... also you might wanna check if it sticks on EleX
[One (M8) General] JellyKitkatLoli:
Hate to double post but holy moly ; 48108 in AnTuTu with something that's supposed be very closed to Stock o_O I guess when he meant smart optimizations he meant it.

I am rather Impressed, Could be the left over files but I doubt it (Also it repacks the boot.img so that could be well related to the result, Remember I've ran two of the best performing kernels right after another, So Mileage WILL most likely vary), Just damn seems like SkyBliss will have to wait if I'll ever get to flash it now :D.

Also I might just try running Elite Kernel next flash of LeeDroid, I am curious to see the results (Anyone else that's reading this and thinking about Elite Kernel, Don't do this Unless you're having the htc6525lvw variant, you'll get kicked to a bootloop/bootloader).

I can't lie but after running exclusively International kernels and ROMs for over a month, I miss that kernel very much.

In fact I'm going to do the following ; I am actually gonna install Skybliss right now and try flashing LeeDroid a bit later, This is a huge yolo but hi it might be worth the effort, I am a maniac, Watchout we got a badass XDA flasher over here.

In fact this is a time waster more than anything, I always install my ROMs clean, Which means I'll have to re-do all the settings on LeeDroid and de-bloat it again and I am worried about APNs, Good timing to install 7.3.2 though ;).

WELL NO GOING BACK NOW.

Edit; SkyBliss disappointed me, WiFi ain't working lol, Sigh why do I even bother with AOSP Roms sometimes, I thought that with HolyAngel's kernel at its core it will avoid it but oh well q_q what's worse is that It shown me H+ on the signal bar.

Time to try LeeDroid 7.3.2 + Elite kernel

Hooray! No issues with signal or anything dumb like that :) in fact I am having better results with the signal

---------- Post added at 09:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 PM ----------

For battery life you should really try lyapota #36, but with 2.26GHz from the aroma installer(really important) or elementalX with 2.26GHz from the aroma installer. I prefer lyapota tho as it's smoother. Why do that? Because every kernel that has hard set to 2.45GHz, even if you use tweak app to set 2.26 it will still scale to 2.45... and as apps got heavier + let's not forget that we don't run perfectly optimized sense 7 for our phone = the phone scales really frequently to 2.45 and this DRAINS a lot of battery compared to 2.26GHz. Tested from me with lyapota #36 on 2.26 and 2.45... it's really a noticeable worse on 2.45. Sadly quantum doesn't have the option to set 2.26 for max and that way it scales beyond with leads to worse battery life... btw, the smoothest think I ever felt on our phone is lyapota#36 @ 2.45GHz... really a different phone lol, but the battery just dies quickly compared to 2.26, sadly, but 2.26 is still F* smooth and good on battery... just a nice balance. Cheers!
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Cheers for the info mate and I remember you mentioning it a while back but i'd already deleted my copy of 36# is it still in his afh folder? I was on 36# when 38# was released and can agree it was an awesome kernel, I was disappointed with 38# for battery life although it was ultra smooth. But everybody was talking about quantum again at the time so I went with the crowd lol.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
There you go:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxyKuAg4EWDOVzVCbTJOU2prd28/view?usp=sharing

By the way: #37 and #38 are far worse compared to #36... and #36 gives me a lot better battery life compared to quantum while still manages to be far far smoother. Just don't forget to set via the aroma installer [MENTION=3058039]2.2[/MENTION]6GHz as it's essential + I personally use high performance audio(gives better sound) + dimmer mod to 1. UV from the installer is default and same for the gestures. Once you do that you don't need to set anything after loading. Just use it and don't forget to give it alteast a week before even check the battery life as it's how much it settles. You know.. I switched a lot to different kernels just to give myself something to test, to play with and this is my conclusion based on my personal use. Try and see/judge for yourself how it works for you. :)

Thank you mate, I've always heeded your advise mate allot of your comments are second nature to me now lol I do miss being able to speed this phone up to its full potential though, on kk I used to run this bad boy full throttle @2.8ghz and still get 7hrs sot and a full day at least between charges, [MENTION=770925]alex_[/MENTION]v is a legend I lose him loads his kernels are amazing.

Tweaks tested on LeeDrOiD rom ...

Hi,

I have today in the morning made a post for init. tweaks under the LeeDroid rom thread but [MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION] has wished that I write here again :) ...

I made a flashable zip with my modded tweaks for the great LeeDrOiD rom. Use the TWRP recovery.

What for tweaks are included:

[B]init.d:[/B]
1/ tune2fs script for improve the ext4 performance
2/ sqlite optimize script for vacuum
3/ Golden Droid script with more scroll speed and build.prop tweaks
4/ more zipalign script

[B]xbin:[/B]
1/ rngd binary for a little bit more battery life

Changelog:

2015/22/10

- v1.0 - initial release -

Download:

- Google Drive -

Tweaks v1.0

You can check with a root file manager the data partition and you find 2 log files for the tweaks ...

1/ Tweak-Script.log

2/ Zipalign.log

You see then run the tweaks or not on your device. I have not problems and all is working fine.

Okay I wish fun and when you have a bug then write me.

Regards :) ...

PS: On the LeeDrOiD rom with the HTC stock kernel, all is fine but sure my zip (the tweaks) is also with other roms compatible. Compatible since Android 4.4.2 to Android 5.0.2 and I tested in the last 3 days. I found not a bug and all is stable. When you have problems then write & if I can help then I will do it ... You can also flash my zip with other custom kernels but you need init.d support. You find my original post here.
