Anyone who is interested to be a tester for doubletap2wake feature? If anyone wants to help join me on the irc

[One (M8s) General] jd1001:
[MENTION=732043]voidzero[/MENTION] anytime Bro, I'm glad what little I offered helped you.

OK so this rom is so good I decided to push it to the limit. I got in the car with my phone and my WiFi mobile broadband. I turned on BT and connected to the car, turned on WiFi and connected to my mobile WiFi and then turned on GPS and picked a destination and then started navigation. I blasted music through the car as I went. The good part is like I doubt many people would ever do this so it's not a big deal but everything worked like a charm. Until.... About twenty minutes in a song skipped on me but just skipped to the next song. So on the way back I just went on to BT and the song again skipped about twenty minutes in. Above all I think it's a kink in the music player. I will try a different music player and or play around with the equaliser settings etc and report back tomorrow.

I have never seen a beta rom perform like this and I've had betas on an s2,s3,s4,galaxy nexus and this m8s. Seriously impressive.

BTW, anyone struggling with a launcher, nova is flawless.
[One (M8s) General] jd1001:
Is anyone successfully receiving picture messages (mms)?
[One (M8s) General] wurstherpes:
Yes
[One (M8s) General] jd1001:
I'll play around with MMS settings today and see if I can get it working. Will report back. This is common enough amongst CM 12 roms.
[One (M8s) General] jd1001:
For anyone having 4G/LTE issues here's what fixed it for me. Vodafone Ireland here but getting your carriers APN settings should be easy by calling or checking there website.

For 4G/LTE I edited the existing APN (settings - mobile networks) and matched it explicitly to the settings my carrier provides on their website. Rebooted and got seriously fast 4G/LTE. Drops occasionally to H+ but that's normal given location, coverage etc.

For picture messages I deleted any APN settings related to MMS and created a new APN again following explicit settings provided by my carrier, saved the APN, rebooted and sent three MMS messages from another phone. All delivered and opened fine.
[One (M8s) General] wurstherpes:
OK i send my number
[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
New version over on http://src.voidzero.net/ with a couple of small changes to audio. I think that audio should keep playing correctly now, and maybe the speakerphone works too. Please test!
[One (M8s) General] is77gal:
Been watching this post from the beginning....ha, at one point, in the beginning I gave up hoping and following thinking that you, voidzero, were embarking on a too grate of challenge...me not knowing anything about compiling and what an awesome man you are. Meanwhile I loathe the m8s and looking to trade it for and galaxy $6 or an iPhone 6s(recommendations?)

With that being so I guess before departing with my phone I could give it a final go..maybe the Rom changes how I feel.

Grate work and will come back after I install...some installation steps..I haven't even rooted since I thought there will be no cm12 before I sell the phone
[One (M8s) General] jd1001:
Don't go near an iPhone!

Definitely 100% give it a try. Don't sell your m8s without trying it first! To get root go here and follow the instructions. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3114245

It's Halloween! Not Christmas! Will try and report back! Thank you.
[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
Ha I hope CM12 will change your mind! I have finally used it for a while myself now too, now that everything is in order. The effort was absolutely worth it. Don't switch to Samsung! They are vehemently against modifying phones at all. Like [MENTION=4353936]jd1001[/MENTION] said, and I agree... it does feel like the m8s is a wholly new phone with CM12.1... I really hope you'll give it a test spin before deciding to sell keep it. :o
[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
By the way (I keep forgetting to mention it) I also update the CM sources with each update. So apart from my own modifications I also use the most recent sources from CM bringing other updates and so forth.

Question to all, how's the battery life with this ROM?
[One (M8s) General] fatihes:
Is camera working, or are you still working on it?
[One (M8s) General] eltasmanico:
battery life is insane - never had such a less drain of battery

12hours since unplugging and still 75% lef (before flashing the update :D )
[One (M8s) General] jd1001:
That's great to know about CM sources. I find the battery really good and I am pushing this phone all the time!

---------- Post added at 10:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------

Camera is still not working. No doubt it will come.
[One (M8s) General] hector2001:
- double tap to wake the phone up : not working

- activate speaker during call : not working (mutes everything)

- disable keys vibration (while typing on keyboard) : not working

- camera : not working

- phone keyboard : I would prefer a black background or a darker color rather than white (less battery consumming, and more confortable for eyes)

- SMS/MMS : enabling black theme seems not to work.

- SMS/MMS : no 'Return Key' on the keyboard.

Battery :

- Stock ROM : I don't like. Too much drain.

- Pandora ROM : Good.

- CM12.1 : very good.

My TWRP Backup sizes :

- Stock ROM : about 6.70GB

- Pandora ROM : about 4.50GB

- CM12.1 : about 1.90GB
[One (M8s) General] jd1001:
Audio issues still present for me on the 30th build.

Kind of fixed by installing Viper4Android driver from the play store. Audio still skips but just a lot less before installing viper. Also I've noticed of playing music it only seems to skip if I switch to another app?! Once the music players stays in the foreground audio doesn't seem to skip for me.

For me everything else is the same as the 28th build.

**Edit: developers options, use deprecated awesome player option, select that. Reboot. Disable the AudioFX app and install viper4android and the audio problems seem to have gone away for me now. I will test and see if it works for the day and report back. I think it would just be a temporary fix anyway.

**an hour or two later: music plays more stable but still some issues with volume randomly increasing and decreasing. Better though. Not cutting out as before.

I will try get a log cat today.

**final edit. The SOLUTION to the audio issues with music turned out to be glaringly obvious. I switched the setting in developer options as above, uninstalled viper android app and driver, disabled audio fx, rebooted. And for the last hour I have had no skips, no audio cutting out, no volume raising or lowering without interaction.

It's always the simple things!
[One (M8s) General] jd1001:
Ugh! So audio skipped twice. Not bad considering. I'll get that logcat now that everything is back to normal. Ugh.

Anyway I don't care! Look at this! My phone is brand new!

[MENTION=6052895]root-expert[/MENTION] and I have been testing so much stuff without positive results, it's becoming annoying. For the HTC One M9 they started a bounty. Maybe we should do that too. On the other hand I only received one donation so far despite months of work. So i'm sure as hell not pocketing it :D

We'll keep trying things. You know me, I get annoyed sometimes, but I don't give up. :o
[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
Thank you. Disabling keyboard vibration works for me. It's one of the first things I prefer to turn off. Dark theme is possible. I have Material Dark. You can also install the Google keyboard, see how that works out. It's the same as the Android keyboard pretty much.

Note, we don't alter keyboard stuff at all, so on this phone it shouldn't be any different from other CM12.1 installations. Same with SMS. We don't have device specific settings there either. I think the dark sms theme doesn't work on any other CM12.1 install either... Certainly not on my HTC One M7.

I use a different SMS app by the way, Textra it's called, a very nice app, though not free.

So regarding my priorities: audio and camera should work properly first, and after that we'll see about the double tap to wake feature. I also have a little surprise coming, but I'll just leave that as a teaser for now. :cowboy:

[One (M8s) General] Rlansdorp:
One more thing: I notice the rom is behaving better after a clean flash. Although I am a huge fan of dirty flashing upgrades, I noticed some unexpected behavior. A clean flash solved all that. :)
[One (M8s) General] jd1001:
Same as that. Until it's gets to a stable build I clean flash all the way.

If you mean by fast charge changing the USB storage options to charge only, then yes it does. It won't mount MTP and will only charge the device.

There is no kernel level changing of voltages or forcing it though.

Awesome! That is really great news! The reason I asked is that they recently got it to work on the m9 using some snapdragon camera development thing from qualcomm. But this is much much much better! I tip my hat to you, for I had not expected this so soon.
[One (M8s) General] TIPhoenix:
That's AWESOME! Are there going to be any new releases soon? Thanks <3

P.S. What channel on the IRC do you guys normally use?
[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
It's up for grabs now BUT for some reason I had to re-install opengapps. I hope this is not the same for you, please let me know. If you haven't donated before, now's a good time. :fingers-crossed:

Today's version brings changes to Audio, RIL (via properties), Camera (works, please test!) and whatever they changed in CM up until an hour ago.

Audio: Offloading was disabled, this happens on many phones, in order to get AudioFX working. The "only plays for 30 seconds" problem should be gone too. [MENTION=5296385]wurstherpes[/MENTION] can you please confirm whether AudioFX is indeed working properly now, and the 30 second problem is gone?

Camera: All I did was copy some files from the One M9 device tree. Those files were recently created by [MENTION=1815755]intervigil[/MENTION] and just happen to work for our device, so the only reason things went so smoothly for us, is because of all the work the M9 developers already put into it for their device. We just got lucky. So all my gratitude to you [MENTION=1815755]intervigil[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4662457]Rashed97[/MENTION] for your work on the One M9. And as you can see [MENTION=4844849]Rlansdorp[/MENTION], it's nothing better, it's very much the same. :laugh:

Anyway I forgot what other stuff changed, best way is to find out for yourselves! Please test the newly uploaded image and let me know how it works.

[MENTION=5309659]TIPhoenix[/MENTION] we're on irc.zeronode.net (port 6697 (ssl)), in the channel #M8s. Feel free to join!
[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
Oh right, one other thing that changed is that you should be able to install select HTC apps from Play now. Previously this couldn't be done...
[One (M8s) General] TIPhoenix:
Tested: My Response.

I did some testing with what I thought was moderate, day to day use with the latest version of the ROM and I have to admit that this is beyond good. This is balls-deep AMAZING. Really fast, everything works, especially the camera, the audio is flawless too. I am a huge sucker for ViPER4ANDROID and ViPER's audio works with no sweat!

I haven't found any bugs so far, but if there are any, I'm sure I'll be able to find them eventually. It's more than safe to say that this ROM is ready to be a daily driver.

Amazing Work, [MENTION=732043]voidzero[/MENTION]; be ready for more donations! :victory:
[One (M8s) General] wurstherpes:

Ok, just downloaded the rom and I have to say : it's absolutely awesome! It's feels even snappier than the last version. Camera works fine, audio haven't tested yet.

You were right though, I also had to reflash Gapps to make them work but that's no biggie. I'll keep on testing things and get back to you.

This is definitely worth the wait and worth donating, you have done tremendous work!

[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
[MENTION=2501811]rayzor_uk[/MENTION] heya. When you switch to a different ROM I always recommend to wipe system, cache, and data. You can make backups of the apps with TitaniumBackup. You can keep userdata, no need to wipe that.

After wiping, try to flash the Cyanogenmod ROM, preferably with adb sideload, because that way we can rule out faulty storage issues.

If it still won't work, please post the actual error message, because that way it's easier to understand where things go wrong. "Some error message" is not clear enough :D

[MENTION=528254]hector2001[/MENTION] that's annoying. Later today I'll test if this is happens to me as well... and find out how to fix it.
[One (M8s) General] Rlansdorp:
Found what's wrong with the speaker button muting everything: the buttons / functionality are switched! :) press the mute button and speakerphone works like a charm, press the speakerphone button and everything is muted.
[One (M8s) General] hector2001:
For me :

- Press "MUTE" button = Does nothing

- Press "SPEAKER" button = Mutes speaker

I found two issues

First thing is that in landscape mode the nav buttons won't work or better said the back and the recent apps button are completely missing and the home button is not on it's position and doesn't work

The other issue is that "omni switch" won't work anymore since the first update
[One (M8s) General] Rlansdorp:
Did you do a clean flash? This is one of the things I noticed happening after dirty flashing a couple of times .
[One (M8s) General] eltasmanico:
no, i did a dirty flash

I'll try a clean flash the next days - hopefully than it will work :)
[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
Probably. I also have another build in the works that fixes audio with (at least) speakerphone.
[One (M8s) General] TIPhoenix:
Alright I used this more and I found out this:

The phone ridiculously heats up sometimes and it makes the the processor throttle and everything becomes slow.

Apps in memory gets killed off randomly.

Microphones volume is very low.

3rd Party apps that use the camera driver can randomly crash.
[One (M8s) General] jd1001:
It's only the third build. I have not noticed the heat issue. Some apps for me get killed some don't. Microphone volume for me on the latest build is perfect. As always it takes time and some clean flashing. I've clean flashed all the builds so far.

Patience.
[One (M8s) General] jd1001:
For me in landscape mode all buttons are positioned and work accordingly.

Clean flash?
[One (M8s) General] wurstherpes:

[One (M8s) General] rayzor_uk:
changed my recovery to Cyanogenmod and I would like to go back to twerp how do I do this

thanks
[One (M8s) General] Rlansdorp:
Yup, still very stable, no more crashing apps (or just closing actually). Only noticed "some" lag in Chrome browser once every so often, but it's much better now. I really think this all boils down to IO and CPU governor tweaking to get it nice and buttery. Up till now no app has closed unexpectedly since the change I made to IO.
[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
New build is up! Speakerphone audio is fixed, some other stuff too, I made some cleanups, and updated to the latest nightly. Please test.

This port took me over 5 months to produce and I'm sharing it for free. If you value my work please support what I do by making a donation. It really makes my day.

Now that the camera works, and the speakerphone, and audioFX, I am going to focus on the remaining tasks. As always, you can track my progress via Github. In the coming period, unless bugs are found, new updates will come out more sparingly so I can focus on stuff like SELinux, further cleaning up of unnecessary services, and making sure that some vendor supplied binaries are changed to be built from source. It's not expected that users will notice these changes, so updates are not as critical at this point.

In short: it means I'm close to submit this port to Cyanogenmod staff, so it can hopefully join the ranks of the officially supported devices! :victory:

Now on to the Q&A

Heating issues... I kind of doubt that it's got to do with device specific settings. There is a service on the phone that slows down the CPU when this happens. So it shouldn't get too hot. But, on the other hand, the Snapdragon 615 is known to have heating issues. I don't have a definitive answer.

Apps being closed... this usually happens due to the out of memory (OOM) killer. This is a kernel feature It can be tweaked, maybe I have some additional ideas to try out as well. But in general, these issues qualify as generic Linux issues, and as such they're out of scope for me as a ROM builder.

As an aside, one of my pet peeves is to complain about 64 bit phones, because it's purely a marketing thing. Phones should have stayed 32 bit, especially because most phones don't even have 4GB or more. 64bit is totally unnecessary and eats up more RAM without gaining a single thing. Not even speed. It's bonkers. But ok.

Please describe how you did it, so others may benefit :good: Also, do me a favor and switch back to ROW, see if that still does close apps. If it does that'd be a bug.
[One (M8s) General] rayzor_uk:
thanks for update will I need to wipe device or install over last update thanks
[One (M8s) General] voidzero:
You need to wipe system and data if you come from another ROM. If you are on this ROM already, you can update it without wiping system, but, some users have said to prefer wiping the system partition before updating. You can do both: the choice is yours. :good:

Also something to note: after updating and booting, give the phone some time to work through all of the post-update steps. Sometimes it can take a few minutes (which can feel like a long time) to complete.
[One (M8s) General] Rlansdorp:
OK, so I flashed the new version,clean, and will monitor behavior. I see it is back to 512, row.

What I did before to change: install Device Control from appstore, goto filesystem settings, set IO scheduler to cfq, change buffer to 1024.

If you really want to you can add these settings to build.prop and be freed of using an app.

Changing the CPU governor ( from interactive to on demand) leads to random reboots so if you have the chance, pass on that. ;)
[One (M8s) General] jd1001:
Love it! Will clean flash tonight. Thank you.
