Yes. I would like to try that as well. If you can post it that would be great. [emoji41]
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Few pics to show how mine looks. Plus picture the sense7 QS forgot about that ss lol again my apologies for doing this on your thread mate, I know you dont mind but still nice to say it :P
[One (M8) General] syntropic:
I have one more question for the think tank here in SmeeJayTee's valuable thread: does anyone know of a link discussing firmware components and/or constructing a flashable firmware zip (or bootable image)?

Here is why: a few days ago, I realized I was using old MM firmware (6.12.xx.x) that was released in November. I don't know what the rest of you did, but I wasn't keen on un-rooting, etc just to get my carrier's MM OTA in March (or whenever the carriers did their MM upgrade).

I did however find the RUU from my carrier and extracted just the new firmware from it (6.20.531.5). However, inside this firmware zip i found a whole bunch of other items that weren't in the firmware from November, including recovery and hboot.

Obviously I don't want stock recovery, and I don't want to upgrade hboot (as a precaution), but there are numerous other items that I'm not sure about. If anyone reading is familiar with firmware and can maybe identify some of the files I'm seeing, I can send you a list of these ~20 files.

In the alternative, I'd love a link that discusses this topic. I've searched quite a lot on my own, but unfortunately, the internet at large treats "firmware" and the stock Rom of the phone (I.e., the whole RUU) as one and the same. This makes it nearly impossible to locate information on just the actual firmware.

Thank you!
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
You'd be better if asking sneakyghost in a pm or in his Q and A page, he'd be able to help to on that.
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
I like all of your guys ideas (game0vr, smeejaytee & the android manual) on putting Sense 8 into s.rom jw 5.4.0, I made my own zip that has the settings icons all fixed (properly sized), bootanimation, wallpapers & sounds from HTC 10 if you guys be interested.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
You can upload if you like mate, personally I like the aosp style quick settings in the a9 and HTC 10 but I'm sure others will appreciate it.
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
I got it included :)
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Ah cool I thought you meant the sense 7 one,

Isn't the a9 one the same as the 10
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
Sense 8 Mod v1.0 for S.Rom JW 5.4.0

Flash on top of Fresh/Clean install of S.Rom JW 5.4.0. Only issue I seen was Screenshot in Notification Drawer will say Find instead of "Share" & Text Selection instead of "Delete".

Credit to sun_dream & topjohnwu for such an incredible rom.

EDIT: Reuploaded with the Inclusion of the fix for Screenshot Text from Andybones. :)
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Thanks man that will save me some time after a dirty flash. Good....
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
Thank all you guys for the idea it really is awesome, I'm going to try and fix the Screenshot Saved in Notification issue. Let me know what you think.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Nice one I didn't realise that was an issue as that's not present on 5.4 usually

You've done a good job there mate, that's the whole sense 8 system pretty much I wasn't sure how much to pull as they are quite similar.

In 5.4 there is an option in sw settings to update a9 apps I wonder if we can do that with 10 apps.
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
Doubt it'll work because build.prop will need to be edited to reflect it showing as a HTC 10 to the Play Store
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Suppose we'd need to find the line in both roms
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Nice wee Hybrid lol :P Nice work mate gonna try yours out :D

Hey bro [MENTION=2631637]krazie1[/MENTION] found a small bug in the system ui tuner/quick settings when adding a tile its crashing mate
[One (M8) General] pisc3s1203:
time to back to jw 5.4.0 :) with insane battery :)
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Yeah unfortunately I'm getting system ui fc when talking a screen shot, but I'm not sure if it's xtended
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
I get no FC when adding toggles with Custom Quick Settings, not using Xposed. I'm certain it's one of the modules you guys are using for xposed.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
A dirty flash of that rom before installing might also help or clean install.
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
I'd say a clean install of the Rom followed by the Mod right after
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
No I mean when you hold the settings icon in the QS bar at the top then using the ui tuner in settings gives the error mate. I dont use any modules.
[One (M8) General] ahmed ali114:
Hi I am new here
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
SystemUI Tuner will say its enabled but will not show in Settings. I would suggest clean install, I fixed my post to show to do a clean install when installing the mod. Sorry for the inconvenience.
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Nah no sweat bro just making you aware incase people start saying about that ;) awesome job mate thanks :good:
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Welcome to the thread mate
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I turned off xtended rebooted and all was working so far that is seen, I re-enabled xtended and it's still all good so no issues here, thanks man.
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Welcome bro :good: Have a read from OP and check it out mate, its an awesome community here :)
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I could do with the hex code for the system ui though if anyone can get it.
[One (M8) General] enerGy:

This color you looking mate?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Yes mate if you know it please
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Found a small issue, I'm not sure if it's something missing but when I open hangouts I get a popup saying HTC mms has stopped.

I believe we might need another apk from the 10 base.

Mms service would be the apk needed I think mate.
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Here mate sorry for late reply, I have wrote the two hex codes on their colors

View attachment 3756467
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Thanks mate xtended made it fully transparent
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Mate I think we may need more apks linked to dialer too, when making a call earlier I had phone has stopped, I haven't had chance to clean flash though, had anyone else has these minor issues, I say minor as everything is still working after the fc's
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Mines all working fine mate but Im back to using my own apk's along with the few you gave me with no fc's.
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
All fine here, tested Sending/Receiving calls with no FC. Installed hangouts and did get failed MMS when trying to send one but I deleted the pic from the Messages Conversation and tried again in which it sent. You can try to Clear Data for Dialer & Messages see it that fix it.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
The phone fc arms to be linked to Bluetooth as I was wearing my headphones when I got the fc, I can't replicate the issue whilst using my handset to make a call.

Any clue mate.
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
No idea, you can try using the bluetooth.apk from s.rom 7.5.0 see if it fixes it. Can't test Bluetooth as I don't use it.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Can to upload please mate don't have that rom saved atm if it's both to much trouble, thanks in advance.
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
Try flashing this
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Thanks mate I'll let you know how it goes, hopefully later tonight.

I'm enjoying this I love testing lol.
[One (M8) General] andybones:
[MENTION=2631637]krazie1[/MENTION] asked me to look into the text issue. I dug into the SystemUI.apk and had to edit the smali code to make it call to the correct public IDs from the Sense 7 framework-res.apk, as it was pulling from the Sense 8 framework-res.apk.

Flash in recovery

[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
This is becoming a great MOD, I wonder h how many people overlook this thread they're missing out. Thanks guys for wharf your doing I don't have that kind of knowledge so I'm just pulling 10 files that I knew were OK, you've turned it into a proper MOD, I hope others here are appreciating this too, I'm sure they are.
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
Huge thanks to Andybones [emoji106]
[One (M8) General] andybones:
Thanks dudes!

this is all Kraize though, I just fixed a small buggie :)
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Shame the 10 camera isn't fully working I really like it but no point in having a half working camera.

I just dirty flashed due to testing the new arise and this time all seems working fine, still need you test Bluetooth calling though.

Thanks again guys.
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
Reuploaded the Mod with the inclusion of Andybones Fix for Screenshot Text. For all future downloads of the Mod.
[One (M8) General] pisc3s1203:
[MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION] you should change your thread name to "Everything cool for HTC M8 (read the thread or you'll waste your life)" XD
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Lol, it's still for kernel discussion really but somehow got sidetracked temporally.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Might have to start that thread lol, sounds like a good idea.

But what to include hmm.
[One (M8) General] pisc3s1203:
everything like tips, mods, apps etc.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I think it's definitely a good idea, I'll think about it.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Well, yeah... kinda have a big part to that myself. Sorry... it's more kernel discussion and general ROM discussion, but it was stagneted really. Nothing interesting in the dev front nowdays. Look even at the kernels... one was updated after a looooooot of time after source release and is kinda abandoned, the second one didn't even have official release in the thread post and it's kinda like beta... and the third one is close to stock. Forth one? Well... yep, no such thing based on sense source code and even if we look at gpe there are 5 kernels total and none really in development. Every dev jumped to other devices. Either 10 or sammy/nexus(mostly). Sad as the device is really capable.
[One (M8) General] Mastamike:
Hi , if i understand. You've modded Sun dream s.rom (jw5.4 version).

Can it be considered stable for daily use?

Any problems apart from MMS bug reported earlier ? Or is it fixed by flashing the Bluetooth zip ?

[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Everything working great now mate, flash away and enjoy sense 8.
[One (M8) General] CikiPiki:
Can you make a mod only for status bar icons change? l would really appreciate that. Or if its posibble just to extract 1 map from this mod to do that?

EDIT: l tryed to change SystemUI akp from mod and it worked :D Thanks for mod mate
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Since this is still a *kernel* thread lol what kernel are we all using with the S.rom 5.4 that I think we have all if not most tried now? Ive been using stock to good effect but last night I had quite a bit of drain for some reason.
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
ElementalX 6.0.3 - Best Battery Results, OK performance

LonelyX 0.0.6 - Decent Battery Results, Decent performance

Hypernova 2.0.3 - OK Battery Results, best performance
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
Lol all are using JW 5.4.0 here :D

I will have to flash it again :)

And stock kernel has best performance. I don't like some app icons on JW 5.4.0, so I will have to install Nova + icon pack + zooper :)
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
There's this too for S.Rom 5.4.0
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
I am using the stock one. For battery life and acceptable to good performance: ex 6.0.3 with the ROM. For brutal performance and the fastest experience that you can have nowdays from M8 - stock kernel from aroma on jw 5.4. I had tried a lot of fast ROMs etc, but that combination is epic for performance. Keep in mind that the battery will last less vs ex 6.0.3 and with it the performance is still good, but nothing like on the stock one. It's just the normal question - battery vs performance preference.
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
I will choose performance :)

Man, to be honest... I like your work. :)

Thanks, i like Sense 7_gpe A9 style more, look better than Sense 8 :)
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I'm just using the built in elemental x, it does what I want it to do, it's fast stable and acceptable battery life.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Do you think so really, I've not tried the latest but the benchmarks always put me off.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Xtended settings mate, you can change app icons system wide.
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
Basing this off real world usage, in my opinion these is how I feel each differ from each other
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I was taking about hypa I've read great reviews I've even seen some awesome benchmarks screen shots but then I also read from others that it's benchmarks are still low so I'm been reluctant to try it.
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Yes same here mate but I was one of the ones that got an awful benchmark unfortunately lol dunno why it does that compared to others.
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
Guys don't look at benchmarks, please.

Yeah, thanks, but i don't want xposed. Just optimized rom with great performance. Xposed will slowdown phone.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I don't notice any slow down to be fair mate, I used to steer clear of xposed because of all the bad comments but since I tried it I don't think I could live without it now lol. There are so many things to play with it could keep you busy for days and as long as your sensible it shouldn't cause am any issues.
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
I can live without it, because I don't like tweaks. And I am changing roms to see which performs better. Stock rom is completely smooth, but it's just stock, so I want some custom roms :)

I am 100% sure, it will slowdown, [MENTION=4126040]high_voltage[/MENTION] also said that. You also had slow write speed on Leedroid+xposed, right?

And smooth scrolling is important for me, look:

Nexus vs TW
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
The jw 5.4 + the stock kernel in it + 4-5 days to settle = smoothest as it can get on M8 and really shine above all imho.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
That wasn't xposed that was too do with odexed Vs deodexed really, the slow IO write speed is only on deodexed roms, as for xposed I most definitely do not notice any decrease in performance whist using 5.4.0, that said the choice is always user preference and it's entirely up to you if you want to or not. [emoji1]
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
Xposed is known to effect battery life but I don't think it effects performance. A lot of great Xposed Modules (Android N-ify, CM Lockscreen Visualizer, NavBar Visualizer, Blurred System UI, PerfectColorBar & Security Bypasser ) right now, i'm not too sure if I want to take that minor hit on battery or not.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Lock screen and navbar visualiser look interesting
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
Yes I have to agree. JW 5.4.0+Sense 8 home update is fastest and smoothest rom with stock kernel. :)
[One (M8) General] pisc3s1203:
i'm testing lp firmware with latest srom, i'll feedback later :)
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
Wait, but why lollipop firmware? :)
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
People are saying it has better battery life, a bit strange if it does lollipop had terrible battery life.
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
Will this work on stock MM rom? Has to be modified?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
It will work mate
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I found a tweak in the build prop of 5.4.0 guys there are two lines mentioning cors online one is set to 4 Max and one is set to 2 min, I changed the 2 min to 1 and set heapsize to 768 and my phone is really flying.

I would imagine due to having one core minimum it would also save some battery.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I changed all the m8 lines in build prop to HTC 10 and now I get 10 app updates, the camera apk updated yesterday and looks really cool but some functions caused fc, it's unfortunate because it really looks awesome
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
For anyone wondering, I'm on Insertcoin 8.0.6 r48 with stock kernel and it's running superb. It installs/updates app quick. A lot of people noticed a slow I/O performance issue on Leedroid this is not a issue on Insertcoin.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I wish someone could have got that HTC 10 camera working on m8, it really is cool I'm gutted we can't use it lol.
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
I'm about to try ice aka insertcoin rom again. As much as I'm loving s.rom 5.4 with 7_g I'm missing the tweaks a little and I don't use xposed. Stock kernel seems to be better than any custom ones atm.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
You must go not to the dark side young Luke Lmao.
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
Was there a lot of HTC apps that had updates? I came back to s.rom 5.4.0 & thinking about changing the build.prop to show htc 10.
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
I'm back s.rom ;) lol battery is much better on 5.4 although audio does sound good from ice rom.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
No only sense home and camera ATM.
[One (M8) General] ishemes:
I'm back on 5.4 as well. And I believe this is the last rom I'll flash. I also missed the tweaks and tried Xposed. No problems with battery or performance at all.

Now all I miss is the sense quick settings and sense task switcher. That would make my phone perfect for me.
[One (M8) General] Bud Horn:
Hey [MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION].... I'm back on HTC again after 6 months away... Missed you guys too much. I'm on the 10 now.... Sound is awfully amazing, so I'm skipping the sound mods for a while. But what about kernels? Hav you changed to the 10, mate?

Best regards

Bud
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Good to see you mate,, no still here on m8 for the time being, there's not much choice in kernels anymore but the ones we have are pretty smooth, I'm hoping to jump on the 10 by the end of the year so I'll see to there lol.

Also I can recommend arise there have been reports it makes the 10 sound even better.
[One (M8) General] Bud Horn:
It's also n7ce to hear from you again, mate... Damn about the kernels.... They were fun playing with. ElementalX is available for the 10, but I'm still hoping to see Qantums legendary kernel on the 10.

What is arise? A sound mod? Do you know where I can find it, mate? I'd love to have a look at it [emoji1]
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Pop over to the sound MOD thread mate its in there.
[One (M8) General] Bud Horn:
Thx.... I'll do that ?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
No problem mate
[One (M8) General] Bud Horn:
Is it the one called A. R. I. S. E project? I found that on xda somewhere
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Yep that's the one mate
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
[MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION] Do you use xposed etc? If so does it run ok with 5.4 and what modules could you recommend? I know a few I used to use but dont know to use it again or not lol
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Sure mate it runs fine if you use it properly lol, I'm using the usual suspects xtended settings, YouTube background playback, Androidnify, flat style coloured bars, adblocker and YouTube adaway.

I also always use master key duel fix and fake ID fix.
[One (M8) General] ishemes:
I wanted to install xtended settings, but the description shows something like 'forbidden to use, uninstall now!' doesn't sound like a good idea to install something from an angry developer. [emoji33]
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
It's all back to normal now in fact it was updated yesterday.
[One (M8) General] ishemes:
I see the last update from 20th of March in the play store. Where did you find a newer version?
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
From the playstore it updated yesterday.
[One (M8) General] Zile995:
ElementalX 7.00 works fine with JW 5.4.0?
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Just make sure to not try lyapota #6 kernel as it will break the ROM to the point of no booting. Ex 6.0.3 works good and I can imagine that 7.0 will work good also.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
Thanks for the warning I was thinking of trying lyapota, does it do that if you repack.
[One (M8) General] enerGy:
Wow dude I was actually thinking of trying it too as I have nothing to flash or do now lol You's have me stuck on this 5.4 stock and its unreal, so dam quick and I also used them options you mentioned in the build.prop file. Running it along with ARISE, xposed which has been problem free so far. Don't know what to do with myself lmao thanks to you 2 [MENTION=5463312]smeejaytee[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4126040]high_voltage[/MENTION] lol
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
I too am very happy with my current setup, I'm using my own personal tweak prop for arise and I've thrown in some extra tweaks that improve audio performance memory management and ui tweaks lol and my phone is flying out of my hand Lmao.
[One (M8) General] syntropic:
I know this is from two weeks ago, but in case you are avoiding xtended settings because of this (although I know you fixed it by modding the SystemUI.apk), I'm pretty sure he updated it...(he is quite a colorful individual that guy who wrote xtended, isn't he?).

I liked the simple grid from Sense 7, so I just kept that. Otherwise though, I'm using a lot of other stuff from Sense 8 (or whatever is in 10), and it is quite nice.

Incidentally, I think after 2 weeks of researching how to deconstruct the RUU and the firmware.zip, I'll finally be able to update to my carriers latest MM firmware (plus a bunch of other stuff) without wiping internal storage or installing stock recovery. The one thing I noticed since flashing the HTC stock MM firmware back in December was a drop in Wi-Fi reception... So I'm hoping this firmware will fix that (and hoping it wasn't just the L firmware which many still claim is superior).

Edit: I should have read to the end of this thread before posting! But thanks for all the cool stuff...Xposed module suggestions, and other tips/tricks!

Also...Xhangouts is a great free xposed module to change color of hangouts. I really have a reversion to white for some reason.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
No worries glad you're enjoying it mate.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Didn't try with repack, but most likely it won't boot.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
If it will work that would be the way most likely.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Running jw 5.4 and the stock kernel right now and to be absolutely honest... it's too fast and good experience. Smooth, fast is all what's about. The only thing that takes the hit is: 1) battery life using it - expected as speed and smoothness always comes for the price od power needed to get that ux. 2) standby is not great and it's sub 1%/h... not a disaster, but totally not like 1% for 6-7h :D

All in all - still have enough juice for a day and man... the phone is a joy to use and in the end of the day that's better vs choppy/slower phone and 15% more power at the end of the day. 15% before bed or 30% - it will need a charging in both cases anyway.

That's the reason I don't even wan't to try ex 7... the phone is just super smoth and not to forget - hard to warm up without heavy games! :)
[One (M8) General] JellyKitkatLoli:
Yes it was the stock kernel that comes with the ROM.

Also just checked Bluetooth and it works perfectly, Other than that Audio is fine, It's louder than it should be ( I removed AudioFX), and it works fine, I don't go over 90% anyways so I can't tell you about crackling.
[One (M8) General] smeejaytee:
There's a thread about aosp sound quality the could be a fix there for that I've not studied it as I don't use aosp
[One (M8) General] JellyKitkatLoli:
Yep first time I actually use AOSP for real, I don't know about the fix but I didn't spot any issues, It's close to the source audio, and it's loud, so I don't see any issues with the ROM nor Kernel.

You could always add Dragon-Fi too.
