[HTC One Mini 2] xxxmadraxxx:
Well, I've just installed today and [so far!] everything seems to be as smooth, if not smoother than CM13. Just one problem though and I'm gutted to find this is still there, as I experienced it all the time in CM13:

Everything on the phone seems to run fine, until you try to use the camera. At which point it's like the entire OS has been embedded in treacle. The camera launches to a blank screen, which usually takes somewhere around 15-30 seconds to actually display any image. Then, when the image does appear, half the time it seems to freeze for another similar length of time before either the camera app crashes or the controls become responsive. Even then, it's a lottery whether or not tapping the camera button will; take a photo, do nothing, or also crash the camera app. When it does manage to successfully take a photo, there's a similar delay when tapping the preview, before it opens in the Photos app.

Like I said, I've had this since CM13 and across 3 different camera apps I've tried: the built-in camera app, HTC Camera and Open Camera. I got my hopes up when I saw lots of comments on this thread about how much better the camera was under LineageOS, but sadly it's not improved any for me.

Does anyone know what could be causing this? If it was an across the board problem, I'd just put it down to the slightly underpowered hardware but, apart from the camera, everything else seems to be smooth and responsive.

On my device work's all fine so far.

In 3 days freeze the phone 3 times, but I playing and testing it very hard. :laugh:

The only thing what I really missed, is the themes engine.

[MENTION=7133601]xxxmadraxxx[/MENTION] This is due to our low RAM.

Already a few apps in the background be enough to slow the start of the camera extremely. Btw. if you use the HDR function it is even worse and ends from time to time in a camera crash due to out of memory. So if you use some apps in the background its better to take photos without the HDR function. (The whole is anyway only calculated by software. Already light wiggling is enough to make the image unusable.)

[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION] our loved baseband problem... With one of the first testbuilds before the first release i also experienced some problems on the test device from [MENTION=5080968]MrAnswer[/MENTION] with our used radio blobs from the big brother M8. Here is the baseband version 1.101.1102.19.1017_10.26.4149.00L installed which is also installed on many other devices from us. The same baseband version which also had made problems with the used A5 blobs (desire 816) in a earlier release of CM13. (Which caused the crashes from time to time) On my own device which i use every day i have never seen such problems. Even with the A5 blobs. Here is the baseband version 1.101.111011.20.0123_10.28.4149A.00L installed. All others who also installed this more recent baseband version also had no such problems. In the past days i have the old stock blobs got to run again. As far as everything works now. However without sound during telephone calls. Unfortunately I haven't found so far some useful informations during the debugging about this problem. I will look at it again the next days.
[HTC One Mini 2] Marvbox:
Thanks. I've tested this and the others for a few days, and that's not my...

The CM and HTC engine was perfect for me.

Perfection does not exist, not even for money!

[MENTION=7570463]nightcore500[/MENTION] Is there a way to install this radio ?
[HTC One Mini 2] xxxmadraxxx:
It does feel like that kind of sluggishness, but I'd have thought that HTC would have designed the hardware to work with that amount of RAM, given that taking photos is one of the main things people do with their smartphones.

I'd also have thought that others would have mentioned this, if they were seeing it. As per my previous post, I'm not just talking a slightly laggy display here. I'm seeing sometimes up to a minute [adding together the various stages of unresponsiveness] between launching the camera and actually being able to take a photo. If that's "normal" for the Mini2 and what everyone else is seeing, I'm astounded no-one else seems to have mentioned it.

[Oh and I've not got HDR or Flash on, either]

I'll have to do some more investigating on this. As I said, it's the GF's phone, so I've not spent much time with it, apart from trying to address her complaints about the camera . Mind you, I always shut down other apps before opening the camera and I still see this behaviour. So I wonder if there's a problem with RAM not being released [or not being released quickly enough], after other apps are closed down?

If the problem is just that baseline 1GB isn't enough to run CM / LineageOS and leave enough free for other apps, then I may have to just bite the bullet and downgrade the phone back to the original factory sense ROM. I'm loathe to do that and lose all the benefits of running a modern rooted OS but, if the camera's basically unusable, then there's not much option.

Other thoughts:

* I wonder would reducing the resolution settings for photos help? [Logically it wouldn't seem to have anything to do with interface sluggishness, since the display resolution is separate from image processing]

* Is there a less resource-hungry camera app I could try? [Can the original Sense camera be installed?]

* Any other suggestions?
[HTC One Mini 2] xxxmadraxxx:
Me again! --cant get rid of me today!

OK. I think I've nailed this now. I've uninstalled the current version of HTC Camera [3,7] and installed the older version 3. For some reason, they're both available as separate apps on the Play Store. I've also installed HTC Gallery.

Now I'm seeing the camera launch [and GUI become responsive] in about 5 or 6 seconds. And, having installed HTC Gallery, that takes over previewing duties, so clicking on a preview icon in the camera app opens HTC Gallery in only a few seconds [instead of the ice-age, Google Photos was taking].

Going "old skool" in this way also has the advantage that the older HTC Camera app [3,0] has loads more settings and controls than the very minimalist newer version [3,7]. Installing the HTC Gallery app, whilst seeming a bit redundant in the fact I now have two photo browsers, does have the advantage of also installing the HTC ƒx app, which integrates with the camera and allows some basic in-camera editing.

And [touch wood!] I've not had any crashes or other visual glitches yet. So, it looks like I'll be able to hitch my waggon to the LineageOS train after all --- Yee-Haa!
[HTC One Mini 2] stkl:
For current HTC Camera app (installed v8.10) performance is even worse than the default app - surprise... Older versions perform better, that's right. Latest gallery is OK.

Btw. the numbers you mentioned are ratings, "3,0" is v7.30 ;)

Edit: OK, it seems to be random in terms of subjective perception. Strongest effect is killing unused background tasks and - which is always a goo idea - disable background activity for most apps that do not need to listen for anything (always surprising, how many apps just idle around and waste memory, just for a second less startup time..).
[HTC One Mini 2] Marvbox:
Unfortunately yes. :crying:

The hope never died.

I've reading into another thread another story. Their men's, the guy's need's time for this, 3-6 months...

So back to Fred.

I can't fund a configurations area for Koffein. I only can activated it, or deactivated it on top.
[HTC One Mini 2] tryllz:
I had a similar kind of intermittent issue in CM13, I am yet to come across camera problems in CM14.

My issue was after taking photos for sometime with or without HDR, the camera app would be non-responsive completely, so sometimes I would clear cache and camera data from settings and it would allow the camera app to work again other times wouldnt and needed a restart.

In CM 13 I managed to install stock camera app but it wouldnt allow me access to save data images to SD card, disabled option, so not sure.

I had changed camera settings>Image resolution to High, though not sure if that was the problem, but if I kept the resolution standard then images would be too grainy, not the case with CM14.
[HTC One Mini 2] xxxmadraxxx:
Whoops! --Yes. I realised that subsequently when, after seeing how much less dumbed down the old HTC Camera was compared to current iterations, I went looking for the old apk, to install on my One M8 --only to find all the version numbers on apkmirror.com were in the 7s and 8s.

* For the record, the precise version I used was: 7,30,581119

* Likewise with the HTC Gallery app. Exact version used was: 9,51,755029

[and both of those are also working fine on my GPE M8, even though listed as "not compatible"]

Well, I always disable all the extra Google bloat that I never use, such as Play Music, Play Games, Play Movies, Play News, Play With-Yourself-in-the-Shower... and god knows what else. That's usually good for freeing up a %-age or two more RAM.

As I run rooted stock MM on my One M8, I was quite impressed with the fine-grain control LineageOS allowed in not only disabling apps on the Mini2, but in preventing them from running in the background too. Looking at the stats, it seemed that some of the Google junk was still being allowed to run at startup and in the background, even though the apps concerned were ostensibly disabled.... although this may just have been my mis-reading of the interface.
[HTC One Mini 2] stkl:
It's not only Google's stuff that's running in the background, didn't even install most of them. It's all kind of apps, eve things like OwnCloud consume up tom 20MB when closed. It's not that much of course, but with 50 apps installed and 20 idling meaningless and only ~500MB memory for user applications.... Therefor I appreciate the controls of Nougat to simply disable the activity.

I personally rather run a couple of background tasks (messaging, push, calendar/contact sync, stock ticker, ...) rather than freeing everything for a camera I use about once per month, so I'm fine with most of them. Just want to give hints for improving everyday performance.
[HTC One Mini 2] xxxmadraxxx:
With the old HTC Camera 7,30,x installed, I'm getting good responsiveness generally from the interface. If I set the resolution to 'Large' [can't remember the exact dimensions, but it's around the 4 thousand+ pixel mark], I do [as expected] get a delay of a few seconds between being able to take shots, while the image is written to the SD card. But at least the HTC Camera app is user-friendly enough to put up a notification saying something like "Saving Image. Please Wait..." .

Setting the resolution to small [again, I can't remember the exact dimensions, but it's around the 2 thousand+ pixel mark] drops this delay to a couple of seconds. And, given most snaps taken with a phone camera are going to be a bit 'throwaway' and for web use only, I'll probably just leave the resolution on "small" by default and then bump it up to "large" if there's any more important snapping to do.

At the mo' I've only been pointing it at and snapping the random detritus lying about the house, so not a very in-depth comparison, but I've not noticed any appreciable difference in the actual image quality at the lower resolution --albeit the images are about a quarter the size.

xxxmadraxxx: Thank you very much, very good info on the camera side of things, my wife's Mini 2 has the same slow camera problems, fortunately she doesn't use it very often, but I'm still going to try what you did to see if it makes it better for her phone as well.
[HTC One Mini 2] xxxmadraxxx:
Just to confirm, I'm seeing this now on LineageOS as well. It seems to happen if the phone is unlocked after having been asleep for quite a while. After unlocking there will be a dialogue on screen asking you to select a SIM [not a difficult choice, given there's only one to choose from!].

Luckily, it's easy enough to get rid of by just tapping the screen outside of the dialogue, so only a minor annoyance.

To my uneducated eye, it would seem some process related to SIM Tools is hibernating when the phone is sleeping and then springing into life when it's unlocked --although that still wouldn't explain why it asks the user to choose a SIM, when the phone only has one.
[HTC One Mini 2] Marvbox:
Moin, sometimes I've the same issues on my phone. It is disconnected when it's locked.

A connection to calling needs a lot of time, and the sound is often terrible.

Lucky wise, I use the device ones or twice in a week for callings.

I'm happy... :victory:

On cm13 I started to use Footej camera from Play Store.

It works fine. Not a total cure, but ten size smoother than other cameras (and good quality)

Best quality was htc cam from ▶, but too laggy unfortunately (ram eater)
[HTC One Mini 2] schneefritz:
Thank you very much for this, it's running quiet smoothly on my mini 2. :good:

Although I have experienced, that at leaste once a day, it can't connect with any mobile network. It retries but there appears a small x on the bottom corner of the mobile network symbol triangle in the status bar. It keeps retrying but simply cannot connect until i reboot the phone.

So this is a quiet annoying. Is there a fix for this?
[HTC One Mini 2] tryllz:
I have been observing this behavior for sometime now.

When in calls, incoming or outgoing, the backlight sensor when near to the ear keeps going on or off or is too sensitive and I have noticed that even though the back light is off it keeps coming on with minor changes in hand motion so that when I end the call the screen has different actions done on screen. Sometimes the screen shows task manager, sometimes it shows different window open and characters typed etc.

Anyone else noticed something similar.

Thank You

Camera issue back from cm 13

Ok so first 2 weeks were fine i could reboot without any problems. Yesterday i rebooted my device and after a few moments the camera stopped working. the camera couldnt be used from any camera app it was just black. A temporary fix for me is to delete the camera app clear the cache partitions and install the camera app back and clear cache partitions again... untill the next reboot. its very frustrating to do so every time i reboot. is there a fix for this and am i the only one with this issue?
[HTC One Mini 2] moghingold:
Fingers crossed, utterly hopelessly

Is there any possibility of this being ported from memul to memwl? I love the hardware specs of the HTC One Remix, but HTC never honored my request for source releases for the latest versions of 4.4.4 and nobody ever made roms for it, despite its many similarities to memul.
[HTC One Mini 2] stkl:
Of you find a deceloper with a memwl device, probably yes... However also the memwl community is rather small.

I have a built system set up and could try to build it "blind", if the specs are really similar, but - without a test device - I can't verify it working or not, which makes development slow.
[HTC One Mini 2] Gmo777:
Hey there!

I've installed CM 13, then I've have installed stock recovery.

Just, I can't install TWRP below flash LOS

Do you have any ideas? (My bootloader is just opened, S-ON)

Sorry for my English):D
[HTC One Mini 2] moghingold:
I will be your test device!

My phone still works, but it's not in the best shape anymore. I'd be willing to be your guinea pig for builds or ship it to you after I buy myself a replacement device. Being able to keep a one-handed device but still use Lineage would be amazing! And if you can't get it working I can always cave and get an HTC 10.

If it matters, the phone is S-OFF and has TWRP installed.
[HTC One Mini 2] stkl:
Would be OK for me (both alternatives). I'll try to dig in and build a ROM with straight-forward configuration adjustments and upload the build for you, if I find some spare time over the weekend.

Got the same reasons for staying with my Mini2, just no "small" device with comparable features available from my favorite brands. I'd expect the Remix running slightly better with more RAM.
[HTC One Mini 2] moghingold:
You rule. There was one source release for the memwl on HTC Dev, I think for 4.4.2, I will download the 4.4.2 source release for the memul and diff them to see if there are any giant honking differences that could cause a build to brick the phone. I will also be traveling over the weekend so no guarantee I won't have to wait until Tuesday to actually test what you make.

[HTC One Mini 2] RagingCupcake:
First of all, great work on the ROM, absolutely love it so far. However, there's one issue that is quite enoying which is that my mobile data doesn't appear to work anymore.

The first 2 or 3 days everything worked perfectly fine, but after about half a week (can't really recall the exact time) mobile data stopped working. I've got a signal when the mobile data is inactive, but as soon as I activate the data I lose all signal. The phone seems to try to reconnect to the network, switching between no signal at all and just mobile signal with a small 'x' denoting that the mobile data is unavailable. The phone is burning up the battery and becomes quite hot when it is trying to connect.

It seems to be a similar problem as the users error274, vonclutch, and schneefritz are experiencing. Deleting the cache and rebooting as Marvbox mentioned doesn't appear to help. (unfortunately, I'm unable to quote due to me being a new user?)

Is there some way I can post a log file or something that will help analyse this problem?

Thanks.
[HTC One Mini 2] tryllz:
You could try to change data network to just 3G and NOT LTE which is default and recommended.
[HTC One Mini 2] RagingCupcake:
Thank you for your reply. After some trial and error I've seem to have it back on track again. What I did was the following:

What did not work:

1. Changed data network to 3G (disabled WiFi for a short period to test).

2. Changed data network to 2G (disabled WiFi for a short period to test).

3. Changed data network to 3G, rebooted (turned WiFi back on before rebooting, turning it off again before testing mobile data).

What worked:

4. Changed data network to 3G, disabled WiFi before restarting, and rebooted.

5. After step number 4 I changed back to LTE (still no WiFi active), but it kept using the 3G signal. Rebooted once more and now it is using LTE again. After enabling and disabling WiFi it is able to connect to LTE again.

So I'm not sure whether this problem is caused by the data network or some interference from WiFi, but it appears to be working again. However, I wouldn't be surprised if it stops working again in 3 days, but atleast now I know what I need to do to fix it. :cool:
[HTC One Mini 2] tryllz:
Not sure if this is similar to my problem that I came across in CM13, I used to have data but neither the 3G/LTE showed nor did internet work, but later the 3G/LTE showed but still internet did not work, so I used to delete APNs and manually create them for data to work, sometimes needing a reboot as well, after receiving settings from network provider.

Connection issue

First, thanks for this ROM. Works very smooth :)

However, I noticed a strange behavior with the network connection. When I toggle between wifi/3g/airplane - after a while, network connection (to carriage provider) is not possible anymore.

Then I have to reboot the phone and everything works fine for a while (1-2 days). Does anyone have the same problem? Any solutions for that? Thanks!

Camera resolution

Everything work great, only bad resolution for camera 320x480.
[HTC One Mini 2] Andruxcx:
I think i saw a thread somewhere talking about other roms and someone mentioned this problem haven't heard anything since. I did wipe the cache partition s and the data. If thats not a full wipe then tell me what to do. I have installed root from the lineageos page and i have installed busybox and i think thats it..
[HTC One Mini 2] tryllz:
Not sure if it was GApps or CM13 dial screen where we could set the dial windows to open into the dial pad directly because the dial pad has to be opened after 2 taps, plus mis-tapping means dialing from the favorites number, anyone knows I checked GApps for LOS its 700+MB, I recall last time it being 13 or so MB ?!
[HTC One Mini 2] RagingCupcake:
Short update in case others have this problem as well: the problem indeed returned quite rapidly (within 1 day). However, it seems to be unrelated to the type of data network: just turning off the wifi adapter and then rebooting is all that it takes obtain the mobile signal again. After this you can turn on your wifi adapter again. It seems to be recurring every 1 or 2 days.
[HTC One Mini 2] ExB:
A bit of an update from my wife's memul:

1. first install was v0.2 hotfix, full wipe of course, and stock GApps. At first appeared fine, smooth, but soon developed problems.. When all her apps were installed and she was using the phone for a few days, it became increasingly slower and slower to load apps, to switch apps, to close apps, to do anything basically, to the point where it was slower than a my old Wildfire :P With this combination, she also had constant Choose SIM card prompts and signal drops. This was tried with Pixel and Google Now launchers, both about the same..

2. second try was the same, v0.2 hotfix, full wipe, but this time I put mini GApps on there. After installing everything she needs back on and her using the phone for about a week now, no more slowness as before, still nice and smooth as it should be. Using Trebuchet launcher btw. Still observing random cell signal drops, not nearly as common as with stock GApps, and no more Choose SIM card prompt, but now at least usable.

I'll probably try NostromoPop next, as soon as possible, to see if cell signal drops are present there as well..

Anyway, the point of this post is: if you're having performance problems on this ROM and you've installed stock GApps, try with mini GApps and Trebuchet launcher, worked for me..
[HTC One Mini 2] Marvbox:
I think, for Hardcore using is the phone to old, not enough ram...

But for myself and my using profile runs the System nearly perfectly.

On my device runs GApps-Pico very nice.
