Using Quantum my battery level seems pretty good (as long as I stay away from changing display brightness). But, I will say that occasionally I will get a bit of a lag in certain circumstances.

I changed the entropy settings to 64/128 (as you say these are default), but as far as GPU/CPU, do you have any suggestions? I have played with polling...

But with the GPU, I'm using the performance based adreno governor, do you recommend the simple algorithm by faux123?

[Note: any tunable suggestions you might have have do not need to be limited to kernel auditiur...I am comfortable with script-based settings.]

Lastly, what voltages worked best for you on Quantum?

Edit: have you played with PVS binning (or whatever it's called)...wondering if I should study this...
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Simple gpu is more aggressive but you can change the settings in ka, I'm still curious about pvs binning but I've never had chance to study it in depth. If you learn anything please feel free to share your wisdom here mate.

Also stock gpu is 578mhz.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
I use it on ondemand 2.26GHz, but as mpdecision ignores the maximum it scales up to 2.45GHz a lot by itself(can be monitored only with real time cpu monitoring program). I set GPU to 578MHz adreno governor and without simple algorithm. I am using -25mV to all and that translates to 990mV for 2.26GHz, 1005mV for 2.35GHz and 1035mV for 2.45GHz, but keep in mind that this is really personal and vary from chip to chip and even your default values should be different. But in the most cases -25mV should be ok. Right now I am on lyapotas #36 as it's a lot more smoother and battery life is similar, but I really do like the many features quantum has and it's battery life/gaming performance. Pvc binning is nothing that special in my personal opinion - just recommended voltage/max and min frequency for the different batch of chips. Cheers!

pvc is more relevant if you are new and want quick optimization... nothing that you can't tweak even better by yourself. After all every single processor is unique and different, so for best from it you need to tweak it exclusively. :)

Not kernel related but anyone on LeeDroid needs to see this, it's the most advanced theme I've ever seen and would highly recommend it.

Thanks [MENTION=4904866]ineedone[/MENTION]

Massive update! ChameleoN Reloaded 3.0.0

Take time to read up! lot of changes!

I give you the most advanced Sense theme to date! You can now control about everything with a simple edit of a hex color in ChameleoN_Colors.txt, new are: the color of your navbar icons, most statusbar icons, weather icons and digits, and background for all widgets. Also I themed hangouts to be controlled in the same way as all sense apps, it's now full part of the theme!

All themes are created by using the ChameleoN_Colors.txt, you can use any of them as a template for your own theme. You can find them in the installer.zip in aroma/checkbox4. Use Notepad++ on PC or Es Note Editor on phone to edit the file, other text editors might mess up the UNIX format.

To change themes easily, refash theme, don't select a carrier only select the theme, this way flash will only take a minute! or use the updated Chameleon_color_Changer and replace the ChameleoN_Colors.txt

READ! Install instructions: Adviced is a clean install from the rom and flash theme on top without rebooting first. Or make sure you haven't updated any regular sense apps in playstore or uninstall those first, highly recommend to disable auto update for them in playstore anyway, except for htc service pack and htc service account.

Changelog 3.0.0:

-7 default themes in installer

-themed calculator and hangouts

-improved theming of all widgets

-renamed colors.txt to ChameleoN_Colors.txt and updated offsets

-introducing 6 new colors in ChameleoN_Colors.txt:

* navbar_icon_color

* statusbar_icon_color

* battery_icon_color

* widget_panel_color

* clock_digit_color

* weather_icon_color

-improved Theming of tweaks app

-updated apps to latest version

-fixed dividers APM menu

-improved theming inputboxes

-extended volume panel to theme

-added clumsy kernel tweak app

-some images

Don't hesitate to ask any question related to the Theme or use of ChameleoN_Colors.txt :) in my thread

Big, big thanks [MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION] for testing this over the last few weeks, without this release wouldn't be possible! :good::good:
[One (M8) General] syntropic:
Looks awesome! So it is just a mod that works on top of the LeeDroid mod pack?

And I need to do a fresh (dirty) install of the latest LeeDroid?

Is there a thread with more details that I can read through?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Just dirty flash the rom then flash the theme, there are also some mods and various themes to choose from in the installer and if you like you can make your own by just editing a few colors in a text file.

It really is awesome I can't recommend it enough, best theme ever.

If you need any help just ask in the thread.

Here's my personal theme I created.
[One (M8) General] edios123:
I'm on Quantum kernel now, and I've to got to admit, it really is a great kernel. This is the best I ever got with my phone. Thanks to LeeDroid also.

But I've a couple of doubts. Last day, I unplugged the phone from charge at 100% and after 7+ hours, there was not a single drop of charge (I was amazed since I never got such a result), WiFi and everything was off though. But the same day, I decided not to charge the phone overnight. In the morning, after about 6 hours, I lost about 4%. I went to school andand came back after around 7 hours, same result - 4-5% drop. I was expecting a bit better. Can somebody explain how this works? I'd like to keep the standby drain as little as possible.

And in the next recharge (to 60%), my battery started discharging like it would normally do (which is noticeably poor compared to what I got last time). With the same usage. Any idea on this?

If I remember correctly, kernel power management was turned on. Don't know if that helped.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I'm not sure what you think is wrong mate personally I think that's amazing battery life I'm lucky to get a full day with 3hrs sot I've given up trying lol.

There is a thread somewhere called extreme battery life I'll see if I can find it for you,

It might help you out.
[One (M8) General] syntropic:
I agree. When not in use, it doesn't budge... I have had 100% unplugged for 3-4 hours! But as soon as I flip that screen on (but I just have it at automatic)...If I'm just reading a Google book (white text on black), I lose about 8% per hour (or maybe more). Obviously if I remember to put power saver on, that improves.

And even with power saver on, I can do most things...It just is a little pokey.

I play Ingress (infrequently these days, but every so often)... And I'll have gps on and that game will burn through 15% per hour minimum with sound off.

Does that sound high?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Yeah my usage is mainly google+ tapatalk chrome and hangouts some phone calls and texts that's about it these days and I still can't get through a full day, it may be signal related to my area as my signal bar is always below half.

Hey [MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION]... You provided a link to the downloads for the chameleon theme... But do you have a link to the originating thread... I am still a little confused as to how to set it up.

Also...for anyone to answer... Since I've owned Androids (for 5 years), I've always been advised to zip-aligned all of my apks... I'm not sure really what this means (any explanation as to what this does would be great!)....

In the past, there was a tweaker app I always used which is no longer in the market— before that I can't remember what I did. But I am under the impression it makes everything more efficient...so I was thinking of taking care of this.

Does anyone recommend an app to do this? I checked Titanium Backup and it doesn't do this (as far as I could tell)... Any suggestions would be helpful!

Thanks!

As for zip align you can do that in LeeDroid tweaks app mate.

It does what it says really it aligns all apps for faster reading time.
[One (M8) General] syntropic:
Cool... I understand it now. I just didn't grasp the part about the original Sense Apps.

Do you think I could flash the last LeeDroid Patch instead of the whole ROM?

Also, I swear I don't allow anything to auto-update...except select Gaaps and a few other apps I trust. Otherwise, I like to approve every update. And I do get notified that updated apps are awaiting approval to install—and sometimes I'll just look at the list and think "I don't have time right now to look at each apps' changelog, so I'm going to just ignore this notification until later..."

But then later I look expecting to find the apps still waiting...Buy they've all been installed!!

WTF?? That's like the kind of crap Windows pulls!!

Hi [MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION].

Chaémeleon 3.0 seems to be the thing ... I'd love to try this out and I did .... but .... I get a lot of FC when I try to install Chaemeleon 3.0 - I just flashed it on top of LeeDroid 7.4.3 and followed instructions in aroma ... what could I be doing wrong? System won't boot after installing the theme ...
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
It's an amazing theme but you should ask advise in the theme thread lol.

Make sure to dirty flash the rom first.
[One (M8) General] Bud Horn:
Thx, mate ... I missed the dirtyflashing ... Im gonna try this out first...is it ok just to flash the patch update (7.4.3) or should I flash the full rom (7.4.2)?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Full rom then the patch then the theme mate.
[One (M8) General] syntropic:
I deleted the ROM. I do not have an external SD yet and it was taking up space...I only kept the patch. I'll have to download it again.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
OK mate its worth it .
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Will test it for a week to tell you how to behaves. Now I am flashing it. If I recall correctly: before I had around 6:30 hours SOT and a whole day on battery(around 20 hours) + messenger is battery hog... nothing like other lighter programs. But back then I didn't tweak the kernel on deep level, now I will. Curiosity and something to do while we wait for something new. :D
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I do use messenger allot lol.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
This is something tested by me: day without messenger and texting mostly from viber. Well, quite a difference in hours of more SOT, like 1.5-2. Messenger is horrible for the battery, I guess it use the gpu a lot.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Only trouble is I find it necessary I use it to contact allot of people as its most common
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Most of us are like that and fb stopped msg in the new versions of fb so the hack won't work with them. Now we are kinda stuck with messenger and depending on the given day and how much we use msg, the battery life vary a lot. The phone even get's really how when msg is used more. :D sad
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I'm now thinking that might be the cause of my sot issues pity really because I need the app.
[One (M8) General] i'mrunningoutofusernames:
For Facebook messaging i use this app called disa. It is a plugin based messenger, you download plugins for different social networks so it's kind of a all in one. Right now it comes with Facebook and WhatsApp support. It's a good alternative to messenger, minus the chat heads. Very much recommended.

I hope pwncakes gets quantum updated, really want to use it. It's strange how the other devs didn't seem to face such problems.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Thanks for the heads up mate might take a look,

And I agree mate it is strange but the current version works fine and if lyapota #38 is anything to go by as it used the latest kernel sources were probably better off as battery life seemed really bad using that kernel, although I must say it was incredibly smooth.
[One (M8) General] syntropic:
Question re chameleon theme. I dirty flashed the ROM, and then the theme, then flashed the text part (but I didn't change anything.

Plus when I flashed chameleon reloaded, I didn't select anything in aroma except for real weather icons and I think that's it.

I didn't want to flash the theme with my carrier because I was under the impression this was just a mod....But of course I could be mistaken.

Do I need to flash it initially choosing one of those initial options (which includes the carrier)?

Then after that change hex color codes in the text document and reflash that?
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
It sure does... had days without it and even if I chat a lot @ viber - no problems at all, really good battery life. And then I had days with hours of fb chat... well, that didn't turn out good at all as I will get around 5h battery life instead of 7h. :D

Standby is okish, the real problem is when you start to chat on it. Also I turned off facebook notifications and that helped quite a bit with the battery life. Still, on kitkat with uber heavy usage I had 7.30h+ and even 8h and more... that's like with 4h youtube and things like that! :D
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Please ask theme related questions in the theme thread mate its not my work I'm just a user like yourself this thread is for kernel discussion sorry. any thing you need to know on this subject will be answered mate in the appropriate thread.

[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I used yet quite a bit today and it used 42% of my battery according to power management.

I know there are alternatives but none function with the same pizaz as messenger.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
It's even more as some of it's battery usage goes in the kernel section. Tested. :D

Yeah, I even used the facebook lite, but it's not that good/have the features fb and msgr got... :/

That doesn't surprise me with you, your the most thorough tester I know on here lol.
[One (M8) General] syntropic:
I knew it was an easy question... wouldn't have asked you something involved or complicated— just set up-based.

Also, if I have any more questions I'll take them to the thread, but....a week or so ago when I asked you if you had the link to the chameleon thread, you gave it to me but you also did expressly add "if I had any questions to just ask [here]"....
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Sorry mate I meant to ask in that thread lol, I don't mind really id just like to keep this thread kernel related and it's ineedone's theme he can help yoy more than I can mate that's all,

Like I said please don't be offended your always welcome here.
[One (M8) General] syntropic:
Man though theming with chameleon is tough. Plus, it's so inconsistent. 16 pages into that thread and everyone is talking about using a hex-editor....which is fine, I am comfortable with that.

But then this thread seems to indicate that now merely a text document can be modified (using of course an editor that writes Linux compatible UTF-8 and "/n" instead of Windows UTF-16LE (w "/r" + "/n")).

I'll unzip all of the files and study them, but 90% of that thread is fixing the theme so it works properly to begin with....It's utterly worthless.

[And this is not directed at anyone in this thread (as everyone here seems literate), but I do find it quite surprising how poor (or willfully sloppy) the writing is in so many other posts. I see constant misspellings, abbreviations that are far from commonplace, no punctuation...And on and on.

I can give a pass to devs who are providing a mod and may not be skilled in documentation, but the users in these threads who are asking for help are being selfish by not asking a question using complete sentences so that others might benefit from their questions. If English is not their primary language, then they shouldn't assume their writing is proper.]

[My apologies for getting annoyed, but most people on XDA are pretty smart, yet when it comes to writing, they are abysmally lazy.]
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
It's the colours.txt file in checkbox 4 item 1-5 that you need to edit inside the theme zip.

The thread is due an update so if you need to know something ask in the thread you will get answered properly.

Anybody here know anything about power nap im curious on how well it works.
[One (M8) General] Bud Horn:
Hi there. I've been using power nap for quite some time. It is doing a very good job. You just have to make sure what you put into stamina mode, because it is a very powerful tool. I'm using Tidal, for instance, and I didn't pay attention to power nap in the first place and the Tidal app didn't work properly.

You can use it together with amplify and friendly and you'll get amazing deep sleep rates - My M8 was din using 0.6v/hour when measured with Gsam... But... And there's a bit but in my opinion: you have to use xposed, and it's not worth it on LeeDroid 7.4.3 as you already gets ****load of battery-juice. My phone lasts a Day with moderate use and still have about 30% power left when I plug it in at night... So unless you're a really heavy user, I wouldn't bother using power nap... Besides it is fun to see how much juice you can squeeze out of the device, of course.

But to be really functional I experienced that power nap did make my device less usable as I said above with the example with Tidal... But try it out, mate. If you're up to it, I can tell you which apps you should stay away from putting into power nap mode.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Tbh I'm more concerned about sot than deep sleep, I installed xposed to see if anything can help with lowering power consumption and thought I might try it out but decided against it as I don't feel it's needed.

Thanks for replying though mate don't see much of you in here these days.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I found this newer version of facebook chat enabler and decided to try it because messenger was just getting ridiculous with battery consumption, drinking nearly half my juice every charge, as a consequence I was barely getting 15hrs out of a full charge,

Anyway getting to the point this hack takes away the need for messenger and so far battery drain seems dramatically slower so if anyone wants to check it out here is a link.

Any thoughts on clumsy's leedroid kernel? Would you still prefer that over quantum?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Clumsy's kernel is fine but it just stock with some tweaks and quantum is a hybrid kernel that has many options for customization.

It's user preference as to which you prefer tbh, personally I use quantum as it has all the sound modifications built in so the the sound quality is awesome plus it has some good battery saving capability and ksm which I prefer over zram, it also has oc and uv for gpu and CPU.

So Basically if you like to play with custom parameters quantum is the better option if you want to just flash it and leave it use clumsu's.

Although OT, I finally figured out how to do my own fonts...!

After a good amount of time learning about modding apks, I can now take any font I have (and I can also rip any webfont at myfonts.com) and swap it out of a flipfont apk (or better yet, the old default Helvetica apk that came with our phone with Jelly Bean), change the xml and smali files, add a slick icon, recompile, sign, and zipalign, and in less than 5 minutes, I can have any font I can possibly imagine on my phone.

So if you guys see something on myfonts.com that you'd like to try, let me know...

[One (M8) General] syntropic:
Here are just two fonts. I have made probably 15, but I've found I like these perhaps the best.

The first one is called PF Din Display Pro.

[See here: http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/parachute/pf-din-display-pro/]

It's a clean gothic/grotesk font (so no novelties like funky scripts or old typewriter). But it's different than Roboto.

https://mega.nz/#!gwg2STAD!8UheVBpxJcQ2goqmtAls26o--7vyUBF0CPoPuCvucz8

This second one is called Lumier. It is also a geometric font, but it is a small caps cut (which is very different than fake small caps like MS-Word creates). [See it here: http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/tdf/lumier/]. Because it is a small caps font, it looks quite different than a normal Android screen font (so it's almost novelty-like), but to me, it's much more readable than a script font.

https://mega.nz/#!ZwQ3hIaB!ApfdjasM5op9OtuJpsZ4eXENhuiMTXkcjQq_CvIRi-4

Let me know how they look or if there are any problems.
