[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] p50kombi:
I have to say, I am on latest LeeDroid and cleanslate 1.5.1 and am experiencing 0 stutters.

I have been a very active tester for Helix kernel so trust me, I notice stuttering.

I am just wondering if it has anything to do maybe with some custom settings some users are using which I might not..

I might just be lucky, haven't done much gaming and stuff but just overall scrolling etc. and no lag at all or stutters....
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] velimirchek:
Well, yes & no.. I tried 1.1.0 and it stutters, went back to 1.0.0 and it felt like it is better again and then I enabled gpu profiling and.. the hell. it is placebo and I am imagining things, unfortunately only stock stock seems to work and I kinnda gave up as I have to go to business trip until Tuesday so I better stay away from flashing lol.. so lets just wait for sources/firmware/whatever and squeeze2sleep and squeeze2wake :p

maybe you are, but.. I RUUed, then clean installed MHD2, flashed only kernel (not even ExKM) and after some time it starts to lag.. can you enable gpu profiling in dev options and scroll in there and make a screenshot (as I did in [MENTION=398245]LeeDroid[/MENTION] thread).. thanks
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tbalden:
[MENTION=8395457]velimirchek[/MENTION] thanks for the detailed checking. I'll wait for the update roll-out and test it on my phone myself as well.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] velimirchek:
you know that you went over the top with insanity (speaking of myself) when I replaced both /system/lib/hw and lib64 folders with ones from "old base".. (and yeah, it booted if anyone cares LoL)

thank you for your work.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tbalden:
I got an idea. Back a few years ago I was porting HTC roms from one device to another mixing bases and smaliing ... I want to forget but it's not possible :D
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tbalden:
About double power, here first press wakes phone but second one starts camera...

Now I'm checking the logs
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tbalden:
And I think I've found it.

For some reason the power level for threshold on level 1 is 100 sent from ui when you set it up

I've a logic that builds upon that it's always over or equal to 101 ... And thus it doesn't enable...

I'll correct this code but then setting the squeeze power will be again tricky , it will turn off screen...but at least it will work otherwise in all cases , like yours.

For now I suggest to go to that power setting screen and squeeze the phone before selecting level 1 with the minus sign. Likely it will help to work around this for now.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tbalden:
Hmm

Could you please attach /sdcard/uci_user.cfg from internal storage?

3.6.2v2 installed ,and the screen looks white after booting ..I've never used any color control app before so I guess it has something to do with the new default settings of the kernel? After back to 3.6.1 the screen color gets normal :) I'm in sRGB mode . Thx !:)

[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] newyesor:
This kernel is work for me .(Work on rom LeeDroid R79 &ViperU 2.0.4 beta5)

I think you install not perfect.

How do you install the R79 ROM?
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] JourNo:
full wipe, but the squeeze to wake and lock don't work krub :(
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] newyesor:
Flash dirty is work,you must to go back twrp recovery mode .

Twrp>wipe>advanced wipe>choose all partition except sd card and otg >swipe to wipe

You are flash this rom new again .(Install w/out wiping)

You can try flash again but not work ,you can restore backup from twrp for comeback.

Method flash R79

you must install rom + radio in twrp without rebooting in between. When you finished this, then you restart system!
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] JourNo:
and for you the squeeze to wake and lock the phone work normally krub?

[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] slashray:
Hi mate

Do you set your squeeze threshold in config app and your edge sense setting? It works flawlessly for me
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] JourNo:
Ok i did it. Tks my friend! And when we use that mode, we can not squeeze for opening camera app, right sir?
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tbalden:
Yep, well

Have you enabled kcal in settings? Switch it off, the app details in description that it doesn't work with srgb in fact it messes it up.

Switch off kcal in app or use vivid profile
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tbalden:
First, are you using srgb profile?

It's not working with kcal mod turns screen pale.

Switch to vivid in display settings, go into config app, on color control page press revert, set kcal on, save.

Should work.

Let me know how it works out
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tbalden:
Disable squeeze functions of cleanslate in config app.

Both cannot work at the same time.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tbalden:
If you set it for long hold gesture in edge sense it will work. Just wait for the third vibration, camera should start. Then if you have squeeze to swipe on too, even taking pic will work with a short squeeze in camera app
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tbalden:
:( is it sure that the kernel flashed well? What does software info details show for kernel version?

I'm out of ideas yet.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] roboprint:
Yes, I use sRGB.

I switched to vivid, back to app and I press revert. Now ist works. :)
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] newyesor:
Now,I am disable squeeze functions of cleanslate in config app.

Edge Sense>advance mode>customizr squeeze and hold>Launch Camera

My phone is run LeeDriod R79 .

Enable squeeze functions of LeeDroid Tweeak,but i can use squeeze sleep and squeeze wake.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tbalden:
Hm weird. I don't use LeeDroid tweaks at the moment, and l have disabled squeeze functions in the config app, here the squeeze only does the long hold gesture, all other do nothing as expected.

[MENTION=398245]LeeDroid[/MENTION] have you changed the tweak app to use the UCI user cfg in the end?

That would explain it.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tbalden:
OK, so all who uses srgb and doesn't want kcal control there's indeed a bug I found.

Gonna fix it, so you can use srgb as usual

That's normal. Debug was intended to grab the cmdline... but I've fixed it fully now :P

maybe [MENTION=4470081]topjohnwu[/MENTION] interested, problem is, if I modify the cmdline inside kernel cmdline.c, with a magisk enabled ramdisk, it stops booting and either bootloops or hangs. I've applied the non-rooted kernel patch, to allow CTS validation succeed with removing android.verifiedbootstate=orange... As soon as this patch was applied, with magisk ramdisk it didn't boot. Couldn't grab a dmesg, because it hanged on me, instead of rebooting...

Will ship as 3 flashable zips, and with new kernel you just flash it later anytime

So switch between

- ads, trackings off

- ads, tracking, malware, pron off

- no filtering, revert

It just takes a flash, doesn't modify system.

[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] sttw1fa:
Lurking this and LD U11 thread daily as usual...

See the work on AdAway.....very cool. AdAway and Viper4Android are the two biggest reasons I unlock bootloader and load Leedroid with permissive kernel option. Also love the UI mods, and being able to not have all the bloat software, but that's down the list for me.

Your work on AdAway got me thinking..is it possible to have permissive kernel without unlocking the bootloader? Or is permissive kernel a product of unlocked BL and a ROM?

Not trying to derail the thread, just curious. And no super detail needed. It would likely go over my expertise quite quickly.:)

Thanks for the continued work on CleanSlate!
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] K4Y3R:
First of all thanks for your work..love how this kernel improves the user experience rly hard, maybe htc should add this kernel by default :p

Just curious that your adblock doesnt seem to work in the youtube app, maybe youtube uses a different way to stream ads or smth but ads still are shown.

Anyway get yourself a beer or smth, your apps are bought :good:
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tbalden:
Thanks for the support, much appreciated! :good:

YouTube, that's a good question, but I think google is smart on this front.

The Adblock used here is a list of sites to be redirected to an address that is your phone which denies serving it. So normal ads don't appear in browser or ad based Android apps.

I think google uses the same host to serve normal videos and ads, so it's not that easy to block, as it would block the normal video too. My idea.

so what I saw for YouTube are some modded YouTube apps and maybe there a magisk plugin too.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tbalden:
Happy to hear! :good:

As for permissive, thing is without unlocking there's no possibility to flash anything to the phone, so it's not possible. Or do I get your question right?
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tbalden:
Well I'm using Steven Blacks git repo which is updated maintained still.

Seems good, and easy to use python library.

I'll try to regularly update the hosts file flashable, but using Stevens repo and copying the result into the zips hosts directory and flash is a possibility to anyone with some python installed..:good:

https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Electronic Punk:
Is custom or one of the attached locations a possibility?

(from adaway)
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tbalden:
What are these targets for?

I understand that the file is copied there, but what for?

What will use it? A vpn client?

The reason it's in init ram fs is my concern for security.

That location is firmly secured against app in the middle attack.

But I'm curious
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Electronic Punk:
An updated hosts file.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tbalden:
That is obvious, but what will use it and what for?

And your goal would be to join these two together?

Data/ is still needing root. Meh :$ :D

Sdcard is not overly secure to store stuff.

So you would dump the hosts there and use the kernel feature?

Well for simplicity and to underline security, for now I would rather keep this simple without user possibility to mess with file paths. Rather dump it copy into zip, flash and enjoy the feature and security nobody hijacking domains to fake IP :)

I'll think about it a bit more.
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Electronic Punk:
Well personally I use SuperSu so have no issue modifying the file directly.

Just Adaway checks every 24 hours (or manually), I don't know if your method relies more on manually flashing updates!
[HTC U11  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] tbalden:
Yep, it was clear that you can do it, I'm just trying to change things into a situation where you don't have to use any rooting. Which is one of the goals of this kernels philosophy.

As for adaway, I'll consider a switch for using one fixed sdcard location. That at least shouldn't require rooting.
