Wups never mind, I was replying to an answered question here
[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
Odd, the camera flashlight works for me. From the camera app and from the quick settings (Torch button). Do you have the stock HTC camera app?

I don't know if I can get dual camera mode to work, I've been trying, so far no luck. It doesn't work for CM on the M8 either... it's weird.

Tomorrow just a quick ROM update, then back after the weekend. :)
[One (M8s) General] TIPhoenix:
I've been using the 11/11 build for a while now, and to me this seems to be a bit off. The phone lags A LOT and apps freeze and crash a lot too. :/
[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
Nightly nightly

I'm too sleepy to write up a list of changes (bugfixes for the most part), but before calling it a night I felt this urge to bring you all a quick update (151114). It should fix the reboot bug some of us including me have been experiencing, and it also brings back some of the previously disabled radio properties.

If you don't know what this means consider yourself blessed, this is the nitty gritty, so just follow the following guideline:

* I'm happy → update not important, just nice nice;

* I'm not happy → update important, very very nice.

Ok, so that's that. Although, if you'd twist my arm, I'd say that everyone should just update. Why not? You get a new performance scheduler called BFQ which is just delicious. And other treats as well.

Anyway I assume that you know the drill, plus I need my pillow :victory:, so without further ado download version 151114 from here:

http://src.voidzero.net/

Or via the mirror graciously hosted by sir [MENTION=6701903]El-Conkistador[/MENTION]

http://ruu.lalleman.net/

Please keep me informed of relevant bugs, or if previous bugs no longer occur then that's also nice to hear of course.

[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
Yeah, go test the new one, 151114! It's much better. Especially because of the changes I made one prior version, check out the changelog!
[One (M8s) General] TIPhoenix:
Haha sick man, I saw it and downloaded it earlier. Planning on flashing it ASAP. Will post updates! <3 Thanks again.
[One (M8s) General] Rlansdorp:
[MENTION=732043]voidzero[/MENTION] this is officially one sick puppy..: D thoroughly impressed by battery stats! No bugs found yet either...
[One (M8s) General] Miek Gieben:
Running the rom from 1114 as well. Crash after getting a call seems fixed :)

Two smaller issues:

* audio when playing back video (or recording?) is low

* I do not seem to get push notifications, only when I interact with the phone do they show up (but this might be a setting somewhere)
[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
Splendid! Thanks!

How's the memory use? Right now the kernel is configured with zcache, and KSM is enabled following Google's guidelines.

There are other things we can try though. Maybe you and/or others have ideas:

• disable either;

• disable both;

• Replace zcache with zram with ksm on or off.

Option #3 has a small tradeoff: we get compressed memory, but it costs slightly more cpu power due to that compression. (Basically it creates a compressed swap partition in RAM.)

Google does name zram as an option if memory is a concern. They don't mention zcache which we are currently using.

If you want to help out by comparing the performance [MENTION=4844849]Rlansdorp[/MENTION] we could do that in the coming week. All I need to do is to create a boot img for each option, so that's easy peasy. I don't know much about benchmarking though, how about you? :fingers-crossed:
[One (M8s) General] Rlansdorp:
Well right now memory usage is up to par I think. My previous phone had 3 GB RAM and 1 GB free. Now with 2 GB in the m8s, I have a couple hundred left, so that makes sense. (Screenshot attached)

I've had mixed experiences with zram to be honest. Sometimes it creates extra lag because some timing issues between CPU and RAM, other times it's pretty much tweakable and it can help without adding to CPU temperature too much. The thing is that RAM as well as Zram are basically all memory based, we're just spreading the load and adding CPU to manage it. So in theory just adding load.

We can definitely try though, I should have some time to test next week, no problem. I'll have to dig into my arsenal of tricks to see how we can really benchmark and have it be dependable. I'll also check to see if there is already an app created that we can use to get some measurements.

Good times! :)
[One (M8s) General] Miek Gieben:
Roms works great, but I am seeing some app issues. Def. the recording sound is too low, you can barely move the needle when you run the sound recorder app.

Also had a crash in hangouts.
[One (M8s) General] natdavid:
Am I able to restore data only from TWRP backup after flashing from a different ROM to this ROM?
[One (M8s) General] TIPhoenix:
I tried enabling ZRAM and it didn't really play nice. :3

Anyway, report on the ROM:

Best release yet. Blazing fast, the dialer app crashed a few times but that's alright. Everything is so smooth and apps have stopped force closing.

I run a benchmark on Antutu and report the results soon. :D
[One (M8s) General] TIPhoenix:

This is what I got.. :3
[One (M8s) General] eltasmanico:
I have a strange issue since some days but I'm not sure if it's a problem caused by this Rom.

Since middle of this week I have a delay in getting WhatsApp messages or Facebook notifications. It seems as if the phone falls into deep sleep and switching off data connection.

I looked to all the possible preferences but I can't identify the reason for it

You're asking in the wrong thread, this is not the thread for the HTC one mini 2 and I highly doubt anyone here will be able to help you. Try finding a thread that is actually specific to your phone and someone might be able to help you. If there's no thread then I'm sure you can do a quick Google search and find the RUU.
[One (M8s) General] Miek Gieben:
Tested different google apps (open gapps and cgapps). Both exhibit the same problem. This is after a factory reset - didn't re-install the rom itself.

Seems to be something specific in this rom. Or maybe we didn't install it properly?

---------- Post added at 04:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:43 PM ----------

Soo.... I seem to have fixed it, but it's weird. What I did:

Reboot in recovery

Factory wipe

Reinstall open gaps (but I installed the full stock version, instead of the (default) nano one.

But I factory wiped like 5 times, so I am not 100% sure this will work on the first try - but is does seem to say that is has something to do with the installation.
[One (M8s) General] eltasmanico:
Thanks for your answer

I will try the same or maybe first without a factory reset because I don't want to loose all my apps and data

Cm 13 on the horizon at all? ;)
[One (M8s) General] hector2001:
Tested latest build.

I have :

- display issue (example : in Chrome, when playing a video in full screen we can see artifacts at the bottom of the screen. when switching from full screen to normal screen : get arfifacts also)

- GPS not responding when using Waze

- Sometimes "SIM Card not found" , I had to reboot the phone to get SIM working again.

- Lots of freeze when scrolling inside Chrome.
[One (M8s) General] filoffil:
Had same issue with sim card, might save you a little time to know that you don't need to reboot, just turn in aeroplane mode and turn off again ;)
[One (M8s) General] natdavid:
Installed this ROM two nights ago for the first time. Very nice experience overall.

A few issues I came across:

-HSBC Banking app not working over data (it says it cannot find a connection when there obviously is one) - anyone know why this may be? (I'm in the UK)

-Apps not receiving data when phone is asleep (most notably Whatsapp, not constant, but definitely did see some messages come through very delayed)

-Call volume over bluetooth speaker extremely quiet, and generally call volume on internal speakers not very loud

-Phone freeze and reboot when trying to exit Google Maps navigation.

-Loss of 10% battery in the first hour of normal use (battery was 98% when it was turned on even after full charge)

-Data connection says LTE, not 4G.

Can anyone please help me in with these general questions:

-When I backed up my contacts before flashing, it created them in a .vef file. I cannot import this back in. Anyone know a workaround for this?

-When flashing updates of this ROM, is a clean install necessary?

-What is the fastest way to do the whole process?

-What is the fastest way of re-installing user apps and data?

-How do I maintain personal preferences after flashing - especially system settings/home screen layout etc?

Apologies if these questions are in the wrong place.
[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
On a personal note: I'm currently under the weather, because my tooth is hurting so bad that it's stealing my sleep and ability to think properly. Just one more week to go before the dentist will finalize my root canal. Must... Hang... On...!

Apart from this nasty situation, there is also good stuff happening, just one more month to go before the expected arrival of our first child. Can't wait, very exciting, but still need to do some stuff in the house in preparations. So as I previously announced, delays are inevitable, but I'll check in when I can.

Can't it be easier to make updates?

Hopefully one day it will be. Thing is, other HTC devices that are properly supported by CM have a team of people working on them. But with our device, the M8s, until I've submitted it, all the fixing, building, testing, updating process is still just a one man job: mine! And even after submission I'll still be the sole maintainer I suppose, but at least the nightly build process will become automated. As I haven't done anything with SELinux yet, that's what remains to be done before I can submit it. Keep your hopes up, we got this far, we're going to make it.

SIM card issues are not related to software, and the RIL was completely copied from Sense, not rebuilt. So there simply is no difference between Sense and CM for this component.

Chrome issues.. I am unable to reproduce this. Try if the 'force GPU rendering' and/or the 'Disable HW Overlay' and/or the 'AwesomePlayer' settings help. If not, are you able to add this as an issue to the Github bug tracker?

The GCM notification problem is probably related to opengapps. It's not device specific. "But it happens on this device!" Yeah, I understand, but GCM is a gapps component and our device is 64 bit which is just less common.

CM 13? It depends if HTC will provide Android 6 Marsmallow for this phone. If not, then I don't think I'll be able to get it done. If they do, I'll take it on too.

So everyone: time to let HTC know en masse that you want them to give our phone Android 6!! Email, tweet, anything you can! We really need them to, so I can port it.

Cheers,

[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
HSBC app: no idea. My banking app rejected input, until i disabled a custom brightness manager. Banking apps are iffy.

Hey do you happen to know someone else from the UK who has this phone but still uses Sense? (Or Ireland [MENTION=4353936]jd1001[/MENTION]) I need the output of the 'getprop' command from Sense running on a UK/Ireland M8s.

Apps not receiving updates: see the above comments, people are looking into it, follow their advice, I will not look into it this week, it's gapps related and doesn't appear to be port/device specific.

Call volume over Bluetooth: definitely a bug. Can you add it to the bug tracker so I can look into it later?

Maps: see my comment about gapps. I might have some ideas for a coming build than might somewhat mitigate this too.

Battery loss: hard to say. Is 10% in one hour on intensive use really that bad? First run after installation/update can be a drain yeah. After bootup too. Blame Android's numerous on-boot tasks.

Data showing LTE. I have configured it to show 4G, but it doesn't do anything so I have seen this too and figure that this is probably a CM or Android bug.

When to clean what: First install needs to be clean. Consecutive updates certainly do not. Just update. If you use XPosed, uninstall it, update CM, reinstall it. Don't clean system before you update. Or, if you do, don't forget to reinstall gapps and whatever else you had on your system partition.

How to reinstall/restore apps: I use Titanium Backup and make use of the update.zip feature. It gets the job done but could be better. Whenever an app does not function properly, or when I notice sync stops working, I clean the cache, data, and/or account from Android for that app, and start over. "It's a hard knock life" as they say. ;)

Backup/restore preferences: I use the backup/restore function of ApexLauncher and do the rest manually. Tedious but only needs to be done once anyway.

THERE! Answered every question! Happy? Hope so! :D

It didn't recognise the file format. Have sorted it now.

Has anyone noticed that the lowest volume setting for in-call is quite loud? I keep pushing vol down, but it's already at its lowest.

Would really appreciate if anyone can give me any ideas about the banking app. It's a real pain.....

Another issue that I've noticed, not sure if anyone can try and replicate.

So, after running the nov-14 zip for 2 days, I notice the following:

Can't connect to other wifis, connection to an open one didn't work. Returning home I couldn't scan for networks anymore. Had to do "airplane mode on/off" to get this going again.

Push notifications stopped working. This def. worked and stopped working during the day.

Yes, that one I can replicate : "error while searching for networks"

If I look at the app in appstore it says it doesn't work on rooted devices:

In the past there has been numerous apps like 'RootCloak' to prevent banking apps detecting your root. You have to find out for yourself if there are still root hiding apps that do the job.

[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
[MENTION=4721763]eltasmanico[/MENTION] much thanks :) Glad you understand. I really want to take a look at the remaining issues. (WiFi requiring airplane every now and then; low bluetooth calling volume; manual network searching...)

HTC does not provide the open source WiFi drivers, so I am using the ones that come with the Yu Tomato's CM 12.1. That board is similar to ours. But HTC has modified their wifi implementation somewhat, and it's hard to figure out what they modified until they provide the drivers. Which they refuse. And I don't know if they even have to provide the drivers, because I don't know if it is GPL licensed.

But even if they are, HTC is not exactly developer friendly, they just "appear" that way but they actually sabotage the process in small but stupid ways.For example by supplying incomplete drivers, and even worse: removing all comments from the source code they do provide. Absurd, annoying, even downright aggravating.

So.. that's why we are where we are right now. I got fixes for many past issues thanks to the knowledge, time and patience of the guys who take on other HTC devices for use with CM. Those guys definitely deserve a massive thanks which I give them every once in a while (don't want to spoil them too much :D - kidding!)

The Google push notification issue might be related to wifi; no idea yet with regards to roaming. I'm working on it any time when circumstances permit. Thanks for bearing with me.. these things will be fixed sooner or later.
[One (M8s) General] natdavid:
I can't seem to get the HTC camera to work. I downloaded from Play Store. When I take a picture, it doesn't save.

Is the HTC camera working on this ROM?

Have been using that app on a rooted device (stock rom) for years now. It doesn't even recognise root, unlike Lloyds bank app that does.

The issue that I am having with this app on this ROM is that when I load the app when I'm on a data connection, it says it cannot find an internet connection. It works fine on Wifi.

UPDATE: Bizarrely it's started working now. Not sure what changed.

Please help! Which version of Gapps do I need for this ROM and phone?

I installed a 64bit full version of Open Gapps, over another version and it gave me an error message #40 and saying that I has an incorrect version of Gapps installed.

On the OpenGapps website it says I need to do a clean install of ROM and Gapps which I did and the phone went into bootloop.

I reinstalled the ROM and the original version of Gapps that I had and it still keeps crashing.

Please some advice!
[One (M8s) General] wurstherpes:
This....
[One (M8s) General] natdavid:
That is what I installed. Don't understand it.

And why is the original configuration not working either?

UPDATE: Have managed to get it working after a second wipe, however now I am getting a different home screen. I am not able to get all the options for customizing the home screen and app drawer anymore? Has this anything to do with the different version of Gapps?

[One (M8s) General] L3viathan:
Thanks a lot [MENTION=732043]voidzero[/MENTION] for porting CM to M8s. Had it flashed for a couple of days, but unfortunately the phone application is ***really*** unstable and crashes the phone quite often, so I was forced to reflash the stock ROM. I will keep track of your ROM and will flash it every now and then to see if the phone is stable again. Good luck with your work!

p.s. Good luck with the kid and your teeth!
[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
I think that what you're trying to say is intended to be less unfortunate than how you sound, so I'll just let that one slide. But I do think you could have read the history in this thread a little bit more to understand where I'm coming from; asking / implying I should do even more work tells me that you don't understand the things I'm already trying to take care of, and the background of this ROM's development in general.

Regarding issue lists, see my last few posts, and the issue tracker on github for the remaining issues. In those I also explain why I am delayed from bug hunting, plus updating docs and info, plus making it as cosy as possible for all ages and levels of expertise.

So all I'm asking for is some patience. I will address whatever needs to be addressed. Sometimes I ask for donations in return. I think it's a fair deal. And right now, after more than five months of Ball Busting As A Courtesy™, I'm taking a few days of R&R.
[One (M8s) General] Martz42:
1. It wasnt intended to sound that Unfortunate. I have been reading the history and I appreciate you were originally the only person working on this.

2. At no point did I suggest you should do more work, I thought other guys were also working on this as is the community as a whole.

3. My apologies I knew there was a github but i havnt read through this yet.

4. I truly understand what effort you put in to this and appreciate it.

5. I assumed Cyanogenmod would have a process of validating roms before saying that it was supported, that was my general point.

6. Have a great relaxing time, sorry you read that as being hostile.
