The only build for kiwi that currently supports zram is my unofficial build which was not made public, unless you got access to it from the honor 5x telegram room. If you had uses it, you would have noticed a large improvement. Sure the ageing SoC doesn't hold up well with anything after Marshmallow, zram eliminated a lot of the freezes and hard lags. Zram is not something you can just toggle on and off using an app without the kernel and ROM being able to support it.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] methuselah:
Yeah true. You will be delighted to know somehow for now the echo issue in the messenger is gone somehow
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] aminou_24:
So your unofficial build will be public soon?
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Travisholt92:
Nope, I'm not trying to step on BadDaemon's toes. I'll PM the build to you now.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Travisholt92:
I found out the audio issue is caused by lack of codec patches in the kernel, found a fix for inconsistent WiFi, and found that lineage already patched my banking app issue. More fixes will be coming soon. I'll learn to upload my patches to the lineageOS gerrit soon.

Just tested the new build - there is a great improvement over previous builds but I still managed to crash the phone with a known scenario - browsing a lot of photos on google Drive in Chrome. First try system UI crashed and had to reset, but on the second occasion it recovered after a Trebuchet crash and I was able to get some logs (hopefully) - https://del.dog/qugesufeli.pl

Thanks for the effort guys.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] gbtechlab:
Crashed within 20 minutes after update as I used the AirBnB app, but I disregard that. Otherwise, no crashes overnight when set to performance on battery settings and responsiveness is notably not becoming more laggy over time.

Crashes most often occurred previously when browsing on Firefox. Big difference for sure.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] gbtechlab:
I run OpenVPN almost all the time. I noticed entropy was staying around 3% and never rising after reboots. I bumped up the wake thresholds and it is making a huge difference in responsiveness on my device.

I wonder if this could be related to my hangs... I've had two this morning after no issues overnight. One happened with screen off, one with screen on.

My hangs have been OpenVPN and browser or data heavy app use. I use my phone for business so it's getting worked heavily on a daily basis.

Edit: I also have about 13 email addresses being monitored, including an Outlook app.

Edit 2: ...on an encrypted device.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Tasha T:
Hello

I want to share a possible bug.

During phone calls it is not possible to adjust the volume higher or lower in the earpiece.

In other words - when I am on a phone call and I press the volume UP or DOWN button the on-screen volume indicator moves up or down, but the actual sound volume in the earpiece does not increase or decrease.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Travisholt92:
Thank you for the log. I'll look into it.

I am glad to report that wifi EAP TLS is now working on the kiwi Huawei 5X. The effect is similar to the recent positiv change at bardockpro and griffin. However, I am unable to identify which change did trigger this. Thanks to anyone who did contribute to resolving this!!
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] benjibasson:
Hi, i have a question about this rom:

Is the los 16.0 more fluent than the 15.1?

As fluent as on 14.1 ( I came back because 15.1 toke 1.5 go ram so more than 2go ram as soon as I launched any application, then have frozen the ui)

How many ram does spend the lineageos 16.0 with micro gapp at start up?

Cheers.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Travisholt92:
Zram fixed multitasking capability in the latest 16.0 build. You can now run more apps at once without the device freezing. In my opinion 1GB of Zram is too much for this device as it eats up an extra 1GB of internal storage (which is already pretty low on this device to begin with). Why BadDaemon bumped it up that high is a mystery to me.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] d54321:
I believe there is a problem with the LITTLE cluster-after some time or after going to Deep sleep it is not waking up properly-CPUZ show only 1 LITTLE core online no matter the load which decreases responsiveness. Can someone else confirm?

---------- Post added at 08:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 AM ----------

I can confirm that this is in fact an issue.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] gbtechlab:
My device is stable after setting read/write_wakeup_threshold to 1024. I can actually tell now when it's starting to lag, and hold off on whatever I'm doing for a moment.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] d54321:
How did you change this setting?
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] gbtechlab:
echo '1024' > /proc/sys/kernel/random/read_wakeup_threshold

echo '1024' > /proc/sys/kernel/random/write_wakeup_threshold

This will not persist past reboot but could be included in a boot script if you wanted it to.

[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] d54321:
I am not sure why and how but changing the wakeup thresholds do seem to increase responsiveness a lot. Can anyone explain? Is there a downside I am not seeing?

[MENTION=5662620]BadDaemon[/MENTION]

The improvement in performance was confirmed in the comment before this.

Also I noticed you didn't add my camera build.prop changes, it greatly improves camcorder framerates.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] gbtechlab:
Yes, there is a potential downside of making it too high. I had it up to 2048 on each and the system wouldn't mount the secure drive or run Trebuchet. The supply was pegged at 4096 as a result.

The device has crypto activities which require the resources in a couple places...these are "pools". If these pools run dry, the system has to replenish...which cause the app or whatever to wait until there is more.

In my case, my "use" of the pool was too fast. I had occasional heavy use, which kept the pool practically dry. By upping the write limit the system is told to start refilling when it's below a higher level, and there is a bigger supply available, as a result. I believe the read limit creates a bigger request pool, so to speak (I may be incorrect - not the expert). It also holds things up when the supply is lower (maybe after a big request), but at the same time permits a large amount for any next request. The higher the numbers, the more work the system has to do. I needed it. It was an okay tradeoff.

I updated my honor to this rom and now i cant receive texts however i can send them, anyone has this issue or know how to fix?

thanks in advance
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] gbtechlab:
I've just noticed that OpenVPN now automatically connects at boot. It was set to do so, but never did. I haven't upgraded anything else since changing wakeup settings.

I did have trouble booting this morning. Device buzzed halfway through the boot and seemed to not finish so I rebooted. It did it a second time as well, same behavior. I should also note that I had lowered swappiness setting. Maybe wakeup is too high at 1024.

Device seems stable... If it boots! So, yeah, maybe stable is the wrong description at the moment. Stable-ish.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] gbtechlab:
For what it's worth to anyone who cares, 1024 for wakeup thresholds seems fine. Device has been stable and I'm concluding it was a swappiness setting of 10 that caused it not to boot. Swappiness now set instead to 30 and everything seems fine. No problems at boot.

This was to fix the problem of not coming out of sleep or hangs/freezes occurring while browsing on OpenVPN and other activities which demanded more entropy than available.

The daily update make the phone runs smoother and fast but the latest 3 or 4 update cause the 4g problem on both SIM cards.at first I thought it's operator or sum cards fault but I roll back to my last week backup and 4g function work again.as I said the latest update work fine but 4g doesn't work.only detect edge on booth sim cards.thanks for regards and excellent work
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] BadDaemon:
I have dived into searching for effects of all the posts about entropy.

Long story short: There is no proof or any scientific data that shows that this has any positive effect such as "reducing lag". Also note that most of the search results are apps modifying these values, which is not really trustworthy.

In case you want to discuss this further, please open your own thread. You can always use any of the apps out there or modify the values for yourself. There will be no patch for LineageOS 16.0.

Removing the posts mentioning it so users don't get mislead.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] gbtechlab:
Understood. I removed the offending app (not a tweak app, I never install those). Entropy appears normal now. Changes only masked the real problem. Random documentation pointed me to the depletion scenario as a possibility but not due to the system configs.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] amirooogoloo:
unable to adjust voice call volume

Hi, good day

I have the same problem mentioned above on honor 5x running lineage OS 16. when in voice call, pressing volume buttons moves the call volume slider, but it does not actually change the volume. it is the same with earpiece, speaker and headphones. I think in this case the system uses the default volume which is too low. I wiped and reflashed the whole system and the problem is still present.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] ephemunch:
Don't know if it is a bug or not: If I delete pictures from the LineageOS 16 ImageViewer pictures are still in (in my case external card) android/data/org.lineageos.snap

They are still there but ImageViewer does not show them or delete them really.

My Battery Usage calculation seems out of whack. I have done the "drain to zero, plug in and charge to 100%" reset approach. Seemed okay yesterday. Drained normally. Then at 40% I had to restart and it was 23% after reboot. Charged it to 100% and then unplugged and then it dropped ~20%. At that point it flatlines with very little drain on the chart, for awhile. No battery usage stats even after 20 minutes. I'm not sure what the time required is, though.

Been very hard to get the percent tracking to calm down. It's just the measure, and the battery is not experiencing actual discharge and is not feeling hot, etc.

Edit: selections from logs:

08-30 21:51:45.991 I/BatteryStatsImpl(2141): Resetting battery stats: level=96 status=2 dischargeLevel=96 lowAmount=23 highAmount=25

freshly installed LOS 16.00 30th Aug build followed by arm64, pico open gapps by the adb sideload method but I'm not getting any mobile network.

All else is working great. Anyone faced similar issues or any solution?
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] gbtechlab:
I agree the symptoms are suggesting just that. But, the battery is performing fine and the performance overall is great.

Stats do not include all apps. I have Firefox installed, but no stats show.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] gbtechlab:
After a full charge without rebooting, stats are reset and are reflecting actual use. This is proper functioning, no problems there.

Also, the calculation of how much time left given relative to the percentage seems correct.

The problem I'm seeing is that even though it recalibrated yesterday, the gauge still drops about 20% immediately after unplugging. This continues indefinitely, no matter how low I allow it to go, unless I allow it to die and then charge it to 100%. At that point it will be accurate... Unless I reboot and then it gets screwed up.

The log says the battery health status is good.

Is this actually a problem or is it normal? Seems different than 15. With 15 if it was 20% off and the battery ran low enough to start skipping back up on discharge and recalibrating, the drop after full charge would be less.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] BadDaemon:
The next build will contain these fixes:

a) hot reboot: no more bootloop - nobody reported it but I found it anyway

b) incall-audio: Volume control is working. The same commit should also fix the issue of echoes / hearing yourself, which I can't verify.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] gbtechlab:
Here's additional examples.

After charging to 100% this morning, it seems to finally stick at 100% and not drop. Then I update to 8/31 and reboot and get the first screenshot, showing about a 20% drop.

Then, after being in the car and it hits 100% again it shows the second screenshot... Where it shows stats reset and only 9 minutes left. There was no reboot between these screenshots.

I wonder what is causing this.

Is someone else experiencing slow Wifi speeds since one of the recent update - I am not sure which one. I was blaming this on the Wifi, but I have this with verified networks as well. Can anyone verify and if not can you think of some solution?

Update: must have been something I have broken - it is working fine now after a Wipe.
[Honor 5X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] Travisholt92:
There is a missing WiFi patch in the kernel with a module called "multicast" which causes frequent signal dropouts. The kernel layout for this 3.10 is different from newer kernels which have the proper patch so I've been working on finding the proper placement for these lines of code, so backporting this patch will take a few hours. Will share the fix with [MENTION=5662620]BadDaemon[/MENTION] once I get it patched. at times I can get decent WiFi speeds on this device but with the age of the modem, the speeds can only go so high so WiFi on this device will indefinitely be slower than newer devices and there can be no way of fixing that. We can only improve on consistency of the connection.

All rom cookers do a great job (i my self use a rom made from them for my Hermes).

But i wonder if it would be better to create much less frequent but also much more stable and bug-less roms.

I can not stop feeling i enter a super market when ever i visit this forum, where you have a multitude of the same products only with a different label, and company's try to sell them as innovative new ones.

i know this isn't the right section, but it had to be said:

i don't like the way the roms are presented in this forum.

for example the title of the topics. it's so chaotic. on every title is "update" but in real they are so old.

another example: there are topics sticky which are one year old. and nobody needs them.

correct me if i'm wrong that nobody needs them. for example again: the rom kitchen of bepe. the images are also down of that topic.

the biggest problem with your statement is that you're expecting something with no cost (read: free) as if you do with commercial products.

it's like expecting linux community (or open source community for that matter) that they can come up with an absolute software suite like Microsoft's, sure you get 1 option to choose from and you can expect quality and such, the thing is that Gates makes billions off of it while the chefs here don't.
