I am waiting for JW update. JW is smoother, always.

And s7 has unnatural camera, to much over sharpening in pictures. I don't know, I will always choose Nexus software over TW. Slow updates + closed source Exynos. Not for me.
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
Yes, Viper has aosp HTC 10 quick settings. If you like aosp style of 5.4.0, then you will like Viper10 qs :)

JW 5.4.0 is much faster, also and LeeDroid with clumsy kernel.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
You can take pictures in RAW format or use another camera app that will not oversharp the images. As for the TW... yeah, but it's faaaar better than what it was. For the exynos part - true, but it have it's benefits similar to apple A chips and their OS. Samsung optimize a lot better the TW/fine tune the android/the drivers for their own SOC. Resulting to amazing results compared to sd 820 variant. Also still there is some development as the phone is sold in millions around the world.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Is it still slower even with limited tweaks?
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Didn't flash it as it's still under heavy development. I like to wait a little for major bugs to get squashed. Otherwise it has the same software as on htc 10, really nice - from 1 to 10, everything, including the aosp qs from the 10 + not only that, but can be customized tons. Viper is the rom with the most settings from all. Remember the onex times. LOL even my father is with viper right now on it. The ROM has tons and tons of mods and features on top of htc 10 software. It's 1:1 with the viper for htc 10. I am sure it will be the best ROM for our phone not long in the future.
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
Google with HDR+ did better job. But S7 has much faster auto focus.

Yes, it is faaar better, but it will never be better than Nexus. Only big amount of RAM can save them, because system usage is big, and it can't cache more apps like nexus. Plus you wait more for update, count 3-4 months more.

Not so slower, but i can notice scroll jitter in some apps more. + Venom Tweaks app is laggy(scrolling).
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I might give it a try at some point, I hope I remember my login details lol
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
And screen cast feature doesn't work on all A9/HTC 10 and GPE roms...
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Im so ****ing confused on what phone to get as I can literally go down right now and upgrade fs lol
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Lol keep the m8 take a holiday
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Lmao I have a holiday booked ;)

Sweet anywhere nice?

BTW check out my new title lol, super chuffed!!!
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Spain just mate taking the family away as we have had a hard year to say the least.

Ooooooooooooooo nice bro congrats :good:

Thank you mate.
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
Glad to contribute, I did notice 2 Photo Editors. You can disable the one in Settings/Apps and the other will still work fine.
[One (M8) General] JellyKitkatLoli:
-one day later-

The Rom and the kernel (defult one it comes with) are an excellent combo, I had Kakaotalk (Messaging app running in the background too).

Battery life is really hard to measure but it seems awesome, I can't measure it exactly just yet.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Use gsam

Great score though
[One (M8) General] JellyKitkatLoli:
The AOSP measurement for SOT is great, my issue is just one, It's the first time I ever use a messaging app so I can't tell the difference anymore, I use the phone a bit differently since two days ago, I'll try my usual youtube test tommorow, however I tried it before and it was 13% per hour.

Anyways I have a long day tommorow and I'll be using mobile data a lot so that's the real test.

I am really not used to these messaging apps argh

I am surprised at how smooth AOSP is though, all this eye candy from android 5.1.1 and it runs like a champ.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Gsam is pretty good for messing battery although I think I prefer bbs
[One (M8) General] JellyKitkatLoli:
yeah rhey are nice I suppose how ever It's another process that's running at the background and stuff, What I truly look at is just the SOT and how much % I had before I left and with how much I've returned and stuff, There's one thing that I really hate about AOSP and GPE, Thier idle times SUCK, I have no clue why but it's just bad it's two to three times the drainage (Around 4~6 in 8 hours or so? from what I've seen with GPE and AOSP), And I miss my gestures, but this isn't a bad experience, performance is great, battery life is comparable to sense but not officially from my perspective, but that drain is serious.

The way Sense manages the network trafic (Radio,WiFi,Bluetooth) while in DS/Idle is so much better and let's not forget the "turn data off automatically while the device isn't in use" :/ non idle is about the same though, and I think AOSP actually does a better job with wifi but once again iceandfire made a great kernel for aosp all props to him (I've mentioned my top notch speeds from the radios before on this kernel) also about Sweep2sleep I actually got fond of the Nav bar ring>Close screen thing, It's fun and it looks smooth with all that eye candy.

I miss BoomSound though, the speakers don't sound the same, It's just the source audio from the speakers which is great while using Headphones but on speaker? I feel like it's a bit lackluster lol it is loud though
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I'm liking sense way to much to try aosp TBH like you said google animations at great but not worth these loss all the sense goodies imo.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
This looks interesting out turns off fps cap

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3108786

Think I'm gonna try this of it's any good I will add it to the op i think [MENTION=6489056]JellyKitkatLoli[/MENTION]
[One (M8) General] JellyKitkatLoli:
I never even noticed an fps cap, damn, interesting, I'll try it with SkyDragon soon enough, I am still on XenonHD and enjoying it lol, don't think it supports inti.d, battery life is better now too (2 hours and 20 minutes screen on time, and 59% remaining from 98%.

Anyways tell me how it goes, someone said it somewhat breaks gameplay, which sounds interesting.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
If you download kernel auditor there is an option to add init.d support for any rom.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I noticed that too it's worth a try though lol.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I'm back on hypernova ATM but benchmark is low and it don't feel as fast but battery seems better.
[One (M8) General] JellyKitkatLoli:
Which one do you prefer Hypernova or ElementalX?

Also is there a kernel I've missed? I wanna try something new lol...
[One (M8) General] protoadies:
I have latest version of leedroid and running elemenalx I have disabled magnetic sensor but it still seems active. I place my phone on my magnetic phone holder the Bluetooth still shuts off. I do not have for view installed.

I did install dot view and it is off so I uninstalled dot view. I have wiped everything twice including internal storage any advice.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I like quantum tbh
[One (M8) General] JellyKitkatLoli:
Over everything ;)?

I am debating whether to install HyperNova first or use my regular Skydragon, or give Flar port a try again (I didn't really like it, Hence the EleX mention).
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
TBH mate I don't have a magnetic cover so I've never tested it, you might be better off asking in the elemental thread, flar2 would be able to help I would imagine, sorry I can't help but I don't knife about some of these other guys in here they might know something I don't lol.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Nothing wrong with elemtal mate it's a solid kernel I just like more options lol. Hyper use good and smooth but my benchmarks were low.
[One (M8) General] JellyKitkatLoli:
I guess I'll try Hypernova then :) How low were your benchmarks? I'll report mine sooner or later with it, Other than that, Anything else I should note?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
45000 and something mate not good Imo
[One (M8) General] PwnCakes193:
If everyone here is using Sense stay tuned... I fixed the issue with VMware and it not loading modules and am downloading all the new kernel sources go merge them in bit by bit.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
No worries mate no biggie
[One (M8) General] Durrz:
Wow. Thank you for this. To be honest, i wasn't expecting anymore updates so it's great that you get to do this often :)
[One (M8) General] Durrz:
Has anyone tried the L Speed Tweaks? Ever since [MENTION=4998761]leather.face[/MENTION] stopped his development on golden tweaks I can't seem to find an equivalent where performance and battery are optimal.
[One (M8) General] Balajumb:
Bro any way to get the sense qs on the a9 version?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I'm using L speed and it works very well for mate.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
It's not my work mate you can thank [MENTION=2631637]krazie1[/MENTION]
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Well deserved and even in my honest opinion - should been there a lot earlier! Gratz mate! :)
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Thank you mate much appreciated, I'm really grateful and feel honored, Ive always tried my best to help people here in xda, and that title really makes it feel worth it, I couldn't have achieved it without you guys so I thank you all.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
I remember your battery optimization/gaming optimization thread from oneX times and your contribution in the xmister kernel development + the other kernels. Good times... oneX was such a wonderful device for it's time and I dare to say one of those that benefit most from custom ROM/kernel. It was sooo much better in performance/battery life.

That's why I am sad about htc 10... great device for sure, but for that price let's be honest - gs7 offers more upgrading from M8. desire hd, one X, M7, M8 - great devices that blow the competition away for it's time and where CHEAPER. When plastic ruled, htc was premium aluminium devices with two speakers and great multimedia machine... great battery life, great software. oneX was expensive good material also + great, great device offering a lot even nowdays. Desire HD was so good... m7 was WOW for it's time... great times. TW? Yeah, but they slimmed it down a lot + I am sure after customization from the likes of us - it will be even better and let's be honest: 90% of the time is spend in apps(facebook, chrome, messenger, viber, youtube, twitch, etc, etc) that offers the same experience on any device. Pfff... didn't wan't to go to samsung side, but their phone with exynos is quite good. :/
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Wow you've got a good memory lol, I did love my one x and with us two badgering the kernel devs for tweaks and commits it was a great device, I nearly cried when it smashed but I the m8 so it wasn't so bad lol, I'm still not sure what to do next I personally don't like Samsung as a manufacturer TBH it's not just tw it's the whole unlocking and rooting procedure, I love HTC devices and since I buy second hand usually I should manage to get one, I'm holding off though as I'm waiting to save and also development is slow ATM so there no rush, I already have it's software lol.
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
TW is still big. Bigger system usage with more up-time. I don't like that + high Android System drain with new July update. It will never be optimized like sense or even like Nexus. And slower updates, S5 got marsmallow 6months after M8, shame.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
You are talking about the sd 820 variant. The difference between the sd820 and exynos is so big that everyone that compared the two devices wonder why samsung didn't go only with it's own SOC. Here I will get just that - the exynos model that can easily get 9-10h SOT in my hands. Even the average Joe gets 7-8h SOT in heavy use like hours of youtube. Then big display, good looks, one of the best camera(in raw and okish with their cam app.. but still good for point/shoot/facebook thing), water resistance for accidents, dust protection, you can mod it so the up speaker is used in audio, wifi charging, no heat at all even in heavy gaming... users play heavy games like real racing 3 for 7h straight - insane. Touch wiz or not, the device is uber good. While htc 10 doesn't offer much more vs our M8. Little bit better screen(if you get lucky), speakers are downgrade imho, battery life is the same as my 2 years old M8, performance is quite the same, heat is the same, camera is not that much better as M8 camera is underrated(if you know how to shoot with it), price is insane, screen is not bigger while s7e is just a tad more vs M8, but a lot more viewing on screen. I mean, had 3 htc devices in a row and I love sense, but I am a tech guy loving new tech and I can clearly see that s7e is supperiour. I had 3 htc devices, because they where in the top tier, better in my honest opinion to their couterparts and was even cheaper. htc 10 is massively better than m9, but not that much than m8. And yes M8 was and is a better phone than M9 - thanks sd810...
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
No, i am talking about system usage, not caching. Exynos is more optimized, and can cache more apps in RAM. System usage is high and "used" can go up to 2,5-3GB. Only 1GB left to cache = multitasking like M8 with 2GB of RAM, lol. Nexus 6P is king bro. This Nexus 3GB = 2xS7(4GB) :D

You will see, if it will be uber good after 2 bigger system updates ;)

I saw 6-7h SoT woth normal S7. But you will have 9-10h SoT :D
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
I will get s7 edge that lasts quite noticeable more + most had 5h SOT while I had 8-9 on my M8 at the beginning. It's usage pattern. Same on oneX - most had 3h SOT while I had 4:30-5h. I just know how to optimize the OS and my usage pattern obviously helps. I can talk about desire hd also - I had better SOT and battery life vs average. I strongly disagree that I had luck 3 times in a row getting different phone than the 90% of the other xda members.
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
You said... It's usage pettern, not hardware. :)
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
Added a Zip to my post for v3.0, has Sense 7 QS & Recents
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
I've got myself the s7 edge :D must say it is one hell of a phone! It's so dam fast at everything and it was the easiest phone I've ever rooted lol so far very happy. Still have my m8 for here though :) using renovate rom and lyapota's kernel.
[One (M8) General] Durrz:
Oops. I misquoted bro
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Lol no worries.
[One (M8) General] Durrz:
Wow. Love you, man!
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Op updated please check it out, Ive added a section for [MENTION=949860]alex6600[/MENTION] 's elementalx port and [MENTION=2631637]krazie1[/MENTION] 's awesome sense 8 mod for jw 5.4.0
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Still - no go, tried it just now. htc one logo and no go. :/
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Get on the Samsung s7 edge lol ;)
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
It worked for me.

GPE LMK values on JW 5.4.0 ;)
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
hahah everything in it's time. Will most likely do tho. More I look at all the current phones, more I can't see myself paying the same money for other phones that offers less. :/

Kinda wan't to get htc 10 for the sound part, but only the sound is good in it. Screen, heat, performance, camera, don't like the front of it, battery life... ufff damn.

---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 PM ----------

Ehh, wanted it to work so bad... dunno why it fails me. Still, I reflashed with ex 6.0.3@2.45GHz and will use it for a week to see when it settles how it performs. At the start of the year I had 8H SOT with that combination. :)
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
The sound is actually surprisingly decent to me mate plus I've added arise sound mod which has just absolutely made it an amazing phone :D I looked and looked for ages mate but I'm glad I took this choice from some advice ;) also lyapota's kernel flashed in so I can play with that lol

That new holy angel kernel worked on my jw5.4 too before I moved phone if that's what you's are talking about there mate.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I like arise it's pretty great lol
[One (M8) General] ishemes:
Was it easy to get root on the S7? I remember having problems with my S4 way back when. Something with Knox if I remember correctly.
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Yea easiest phone I have ever rooted lmao :good:
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
How is the sound from the speaker after moding compared to m8? Is it good enough to sit down on quiet environment like in home and watch youtube/twitch stream while eating and have decent sound experience while doing so?
[One (M8) General] pamplinas:
I'm doing this on jw 5.4 but the problem is when I reboot, the cpu frequency goes down to 1036 by itself. Using ex kernel manager.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
DId you flash it on ROM install or separate with zip? I flash it trough the aroma installer + clean unmodded in any way jw 5.4. No such problems. Either some app set it up for you or you installed/setup the rom differently. hmmm
[One (M8) General] pamplinas:
Clean flash using the aroma installer. It was working good but it started doing that all of the sudden. I will try clean flashing again. I want the good battery life :fingers-crossed:
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Most likely rogue app. Try to avoid installing kernel managers - not needed, really. Dunno why it's happening to you. Never had such problems.
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Yes mate. I work in a noisy environment lol so I need to hear it as clear and loud as possible and it is im honestly loving it :) just waiting on my case arriving lol I'm freaking out with every movement :p also just toped the benchmarking by just some slight uv and slight gpu oc on lyapota's kernel. Got 6 hours SOT yesterday easily without tweaking any.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Arise will make any phone sound good lol, i should know im on the team lol.
[One (M8) General] Durrz:
How does it compare to repack by Alex of Elemental X? Is the 06 version the most updated one?
[One (M8) General] Durrz:
This works too well for me. It shows 4627% for the battery value :silly:
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
He was talking about s7e mate. As for custom kernel on jw 5.4... except the two options in the aroma(stock/ex 6.0.3) I have yet to manage to run other kernel on it. Maybe they modified something in the kernel ramdisk? Dunno.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
You should try the repack in my op mate it really is good smooth as and I'm getting reasonable battery life, you'd probably get loads lol
[One (M8) General] Durrz:
My bad. I thought he was referring to Jw 5.4 haha. Hypernova works well for me so I'd add that to the list.
[One (M8) General] Balajumb:
Hey guys (especially at gameover and highvoltage)

How do you guys manage your abominable sot?

Can you please share your kernel setups and any tweaks or changes etc?

In short everything you do once you flash a rom from the dev?

Would really appreciate anything you guys share

Thanks

Also would you be able to mention your processor type?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I'm sure [MENTION=277910]HighVoltage[/MENTION] will agree but stock settings on elemental x 6.0.5 or the repack by alex6600 or just stock kernel seem to be giving the best results ATM, I'm currently waiting on some great interactive settings if they work like I expect I will probably share them once I've tested them.
[One (M8) General] Balajumb:
Okay but I always seem to have about 2.5% screen off discharge regular despite greenify, powernap and wakelock detector enabled with any sense mm rom I flash

So I was hoping for some pointers

I also tried all ex, hypernova and skydragon kernels
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
My pointer would be to uninstall greenify and power nap as they add to battery drain mate the same can actually be said for Wld too TBH those apps just make things worse, sorry to bear bad news, try uninstalling them and reevaluate your stats and let me know the outcome.
[One (M8) General] Durrz:
Would you say the same thing about amplify? And hope you could explain further how greenify and similar apps can further cause battery drainage
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Amplify doesn't do well on htc phones. For the other part it's quite simple: android is a ecosystem developed with some synergy in mind. If you break the chain, that will cause bugs and not all of them are visible for you(like heat, crash, errors, restarts, etc). Example is how removing some android stock apps you think are useless for you breaks other core functionality. Then apps comes here and suppressing wakelock can break their chain and lead them to bugs/misbehave/ code loops and a lot of other things = battery drain while the app looks like it works ok. The new versions of android(especially m and n) are more than capable to control app misbehaving and resources without breaking them thus it's just a lot better to avoid apps that restrict apps. Even for power user on dev level will be hard to setup those to do him noticeable good.
[One (M8) General] Durrz:
That's very insightful. Thanks!
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
BTW I too used to really like that rom but I found LeeDroid better but since 5.4.0 I haven't looked back, I like everything about it the memory management the power consumption and the aesthetics are really nice, when merged with the sense 8 MOD and xtended settings, I don't think I'll be changing roms anytime soon, maybe once viper is polished up a bit I may consider.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
The only reason I am on skydragon is the new SD kernel. Otherwise jw 5.4 is solid as F (stock or ex kernel - both are great). Yes, everything in it is a blast and not a single complain can be said. The new versions of leedroid are more of a merge side of the things + semi ports... I prefer to either go close, but polished stock ROM(the best here is sd 1.5.1 as the other ROMs are either heavy modified or not that great/slimmed) or the all way around with a full port from close in hardware phone... that is totally the a9 port. For now I will see how it goes with sd 1.5.1+new sd kernel and in the end most likely return to jw 5.4+ex 6.0.3@2.45GHz. :)
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Did you ever try the repack mate I think it's great, battery is good and performance and and memory management are awesome
[One (M8) General] Balajumb:
I am on the sky 1.5.1 but I could not find the ex6. 0.2 kernel

Everything else is done

Any link to the above?
