not yet. its on my list (to pick apart dvfs/nvodm and backport AOSP's frequency scaling, etc.).

Thanks pershoot!
We appreciate all of the hard work you are putting into this!

that sounds awesome. good luck with it man. maybe you will get it done by the time mine gets rma'd.

Nice, thanks pershoot!

Thanks a lot pershoot! Great work here

clemsyn - we also now know have a nice template to properly package a kernel in a standalone ZIP updater rather than just reflashing the entire boot partition.

Well done.

Pershoot - am running your kernel currently with Vegan Beta 5.1, everything looking good. Just one issue so far - I get error -18 on installing from Market apps that attempt to install to SD (Angry Birds, Uniwar are the two games I install that always do this).
VSC and I identified this as an issue with CONFIG_BLK_DEV and CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP not being enabled in the code Viewsonic shipped (as well as some related crypto stuff that the loop device needs). See my post with the config file changes (patch for Viewsonic 10.8.2 stock kernel) and the thread in general over at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10168177&postcount=5
Not sure if those config options are enabled in your code base, could also be some of the related crypto options though?
I started with a clean install of Vegan Beta 5.1, freshly re-partitioned SD card last night, and flashed your kernel this morning, so there was no user data or anything else sitting around on my internal SD card to muck up my results.
EDIT: I'm browsing your repo right now and looking at your pershoot_tegra_harmony_android_defconfig file. It looks like you have the CONFIG_BLK_DEV and CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP stuff enabled. Maybe it's the CRYPTO_ZLIB_DEFLATE and CONFIG_CRYPTO_DEFLATE settings? Those were in my patch but not enabled on your kernel, not sure if those are needed. Or CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CRYPTOLOOP, though that wasn't enabled on my kernel either, and from what I just read about that setting I don't think that's it. Maybe you'll see something obvious I'm missing here.

Thanks pershoot. Downloading now.

Rcgabriel, ill look in to it this wknd.

BTW, I have observed that in Quadrant my scores with pershoot's current kernel build average around 2250. With the stock Vegan 5.1beta, my scores average around 2450. Clemsyn's 10.9.7 kernel had a reduction in Quadrant score as well, yielding around a 2300-2350 average, so I suspect a significant portion of this change I observe with pershoot's build is related to the updates in the NVidia source tree. Not certain if Clemsyn has his kernel builds set to the default performance governor or not, so the difference in governor settings might explain the rest of the difference.
I don't really care particularly about the benchmark scores, they are obviously synthetic and not relevant to daily use and the CPU on this thing is so damned fast it doesn't really matter.
But to the extent that they might represent a reduction in performance of user apps they are significant. Still trying to ascertain if this is purely a benchmark issue or if there's any real-world impact. Not sure on that at all. Feels pretty smooth to me.
Obviously, the other side of the performance coin is battery life and I haven't run this kernel enough to assess that.

Is there a versionfor vegan 5.1?

Rchabriel,
Not done yet. I have more tweaks patches to bring in. Possibly some revertions as well. Wanted to get a baseline out. Remember benchmarks are just that, synthetic. Tnt lite flies thus far. Have not tested against vegan at all. Want to test on close to stock and/or cyanogenmod at this point.
Battery is good. About 1%/h idle (no sync).
Clemsyn,
Ok I may have missed over the options (was late when I posted). Thx.
Robz,
Yes.

So if im running Vegan 5.1, and im Not a dev, is there anything I can do with this new release?

Quadrant scores dropped from 3300+ to 2900+ with this kernel. I've got the data2loop patch installed.

Pin your cpu to 1000 and rerun.
I am not using performance (default shipping). The cpu freq. will scale dynamically with load as needed (ondemand is default).
Don't worry too much about synthetic benchmarks. They mean little in real world.

AGPS Patch HTC Thunderbolt 3.1 & 2.2 | GET RAPID GPS LOCK, CAN LOCK ONTO MORE SATS

AGPS Patch HTC Thunderbolt 3.1 & 2.2 | GET RAPID GPS LOCK, CAN LOCK ONTO MORE SATS
AGPS PATCH
REVIEW THE WHOLE THREAD BEFORE POSTING QUESTIONS.
List of officially supported devices is at the bottom of this post.
Use this if you're having GPS issues (unreliability, no functionality, etc.)
This patch provides a worldwide solution to GPS issue for multiple devices. Using a general ROM without this has resulted in 10+ minutes of GPS delay. Also, GPS lock kept being lost. By using this patch, most people experience a GPS lock within 10 seconds (2 - 20 seconds range can be expected). Typically, a device using this patch will lock onto 7 - 9 satellites. Users have reported up to 11 satellites being locked at once. Without this patch, the average satellite count is 4.
HOWTO INSTALL: (Remember to make a backup. See Notes section for what this patch does.)
Method 1:
1. Download the "ADB Push Installer". This contains all versions for the latest build and old v1.3 versions.
2. Extract the files into a specific folder.
3. Plug your device into the computer and get it ready for adb pushing. Nothing out of the ordinary required.
4. Open the batch file called "ADB Installation Script - RUN THIS" if you use Windows. Otherwise, run the Linux SH script if you use Linux.
5. Select the version you want from the list.
6. Follow the prompts to reboot. You're done.
4. Review the NOTES section.
Method 2:
1. Download the patch
2. Copy all file(s)* into /etc/ of the system (not sd-card) using ES File Explorer, Root Explorer, or some other form. You must have SYSTEM set to Mounted and Root enabled. Check your explorer app's SETTINGS to do this.
**Files will be: gps.conf & SUPLROOTCERT -OR- only gps.conf for NO-SSL builds.**
3. Reboot the device
4. Review the NOTES section.
*Files are located in the /system/ folder of the ZIP. Do not copy the other directories or folders.
Method 3 (easiest if you use a compatible version of CWR or CWM)*:
1. Download the patch
2. Boot into CWR (Clockwork Recovery)
3. Mount /system/ partition (on the main menu, select the "Mounts and storage" option, then "mount /system")
4. Flash the patch (on the main menu, select "Install zip from sdcard," then "choose zip from sdcard," and find the zip and select it)
If you receive "(Status 0) Installation aborted" this Method will not work for you. Use one of the other methods.
5. Reboot the device
6. Review the NOTES section.
*This was built for and works on Inspire 4G and DesireHD versions of Clockwork Recovery. The Google CWM Flashable Build has binaries known to work with CWM on the X8. It may work on other devices. Please message me your success if you try and flash with recovery version and phone model as part of the message.

Rules For Posting Questions:
Read the Notes Section first. I will refuse to answer questions that can be answered by some reading. If it is based upon something in the Notes Section, REFER TO THE NOTE when asking.
Answer the following questions: What ROM you are using?, What kernel are you using?, What GPS apps you have installed?, Where is your general location?, Are you using a case?, Has your GPS worked fine before?, Does it work fine with some apps and not others?, What else happened around the time your GPS stopped working? -AND- Have you reviewed the Notes Section?
DO NOT criticize the user of custom third-party NTP pools and xtra.bin data as dangerous. You obviously HAVE NOT read the Notes section OR reviewed the concurrent branch 2.x to discover it offers the standard NTP pool and Qualcomm-based xtra.bin server.
Don't indulge yourself in ignornat posts. Provide information that may be relevant to helping. Simply stating "this stopped working" or "I can't get it to work" helps nothing and only annoys other readers AND those who may be willing to help you just will not do it.
NOTES Section:
This patch will work with virtually all Qualcomm, Android phones and has been reported to work with other chipsets as well. That means hundreds of devices could see a benefit to GPS performance from this patch.
This patch has various objectives to ensure stability and efficacy with GPS. Locally, the patch will replace your /system/etc/gps.conf and your /system/etc/suplrootcert if you have this file. You can compare the difference in what you have to this one to get an idea of all the changes. V3.1, onward, contains section descriptions for variables in use. Most notably, starting with v3.1 the aGPS Patch uses my own central NTP DNS pool and my own central xtra.bin server by default. The xtra.bin does have fallback servers should mine fail. But, that is very, VERY much an unlikely scenario. These two imperatives allow for better stability and speed by providing top-rated NTP servers and prime-routed network access to transmit the xtra.bin to your phone.
I recommend the GOOGLE BUILD of all trunks. However, you can use any build with any phone. You may have good luck with specific builds that do not fit your phone or carrier criteria. If you're curious, test it and see.
This works with ANY ROM unless the ROM has aGPS and/or GPS disabled in the code. This happens with CMx nightlies and some betas! I cannot fix this, neither can you.
Remember, this has to be reflashed when you update or change ROMs.
Short patch history: The 1.x trunk only flashed a modified gps.conf file which relied solely on Qualcomm and NTP.ORG. Starting with 2.x, a gps.conf and a matching SUPLROOTCERT file for SUPL server authentication is included. The 3.x trunk offers the same as v2.x but adds better sourcing for NTP data and for the xtra.bin file; it utilizes my own server to do so.
Why toss out SSL?Whether or not you have a current SUPL certificate is questionable. Some have expired. Some will expire soon. Either way, the servers may provide SSL access without proper certificates depending upon configuration. That aside, I have found that SSL and secure communications over data networks slows the response times. I see no reason to use SSL for location information. If someone has a logger to obtain your location, SSL will not assist in stopping it. The bad app will continue to obtain your information by "stealing" it and you have more problems than a simple SSL-SUPL communications leak.
NO-SSL Builds will not have a SUPLROOTCERT because these builds do not use SSL. The SUPLROOTCERT is a certificate used for authentication of SSL connections. There is no need for this file for the GPS at this point.
IF you have issues with v2.x or v3.x, your ROM might require more variables. Try the old worldwide v1.3 version in this instance.
IF you still are facing issues, it might be that your GPS hardware is very much outdated. Try any "Alternate" build to see if this helps.
CMx ROM users may not experience benefits from this patch. However, we have had good reports from CM users with one negative one. Remember to do all of the steps when flashing and the following notes are important too!
Reports indicate that this patch DOES WORK with the next iteration of Android, Jelly Bean. This patch has worked from Android 2.2 (Froyo) up through Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean). Therefore, it works with all iterations on the market. I will remove support as soon as it is confirmed to NOT work with a new version of Android.
Reports show that certain ROM's including some CM builds require a modification in the build.prop. You need to change "ro.ril.def.agps.mode = 2" or "ro.ril.def.agps.mode = 0" to be "ro.ril.def.agps.mode = 1" in order for aGPS to properly function. Only do this IF YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS after attempting the standard patch.
Your phone "learns" about the individual GPS satellites. This is part of the aGPS design. Don't be surprised if the first time you use GPS Status that it takes 20+ seconds to "lock".
I have read a lot that indicates that it is best to let your GPS run using any application for a while to "learn" aGPS information. I let GPS Status run for about 10 minutes (it has an option to disable the screen timeout, which I do) each "first time" to learn. I say each because I test a lot of tweaks and fully reset/delete GPS cached information to start retesting.
Remember, this has to be reflashed when you update or change ROMs. Each ROM will have its own gps.conf, normally not suited to all devices.
I use GPS Status to test my signal strength. It isn't 100% accurate, but it gives a very good sense of how the GPS is performing.
If you're wondering why GPS is slow on certain apps? Or, you show up as on a street when you're 6 meters away from it? Well, those apps process GPS data differently which is out of anyone's control except the app developer. Certain apps will force your location to a street until you pass the app error threshold. Food for thought.
DO NOT USE ANY OTHER GPS FIXING APPS with this patch. If you do, and you still have problems, I cannot help you. A number of these Apps will overwrite what my patch does dynamically.
Variables are described starting in v3.0. Open up gps.conf in a text editor to read about what variable sections are for. It isn't in-depth, but should be enough to help you get a general understanding.
Still having weak GPS reception? Take your case off. Cases have been known to affect signal, though some argue against it. Personally, I get 3 more sat's when I remove my case.
There is a reported variable that can cause some GPS units not to work as well as it should with this patch. This is very odd as it's hit-and-miss and only seems to cause problems on less than 10% of handsets. This doesn't mean it screws up anything! It's possibly an older piece of GPS hardware incompatible with this variable. Have no fear, v1.2 will remove this variable for the worldwide version. This issue is more prone to occur in DHD.
Tried taking the battery out for 30 seconds? Some have reported that their phone required the battery to be removed. First, power off the device. Second, remove the battery for 30 seconds. Third, put it back in and give it a try. I cannot explain this except for possible cache clearing.
Some Inspire 4G and DHD devices have hardware problems. There is a known problem that the spring connectors to the GPS antenna sometimes are out of place or quit touching. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101066 provides a video on self-repair.
An error in flashing this patch means that this method will not work for you. Use one of the other methods for flashing this patch. Don't ask why or for a fix. There are hundreds of variations of recovery systems and update binaries. I do not have the time or desire to support them all. This is why I describe other install methods. Reference error: E:Error in /sdcard/android apps/agps.patch.google.build.nossl.v3.1.zip (Status 0) Installation aborted.
Location is way off? Like, not near you at all? This means your GPS is not actually being used. Try the following to resolve it: Goto Settings -> Locations and disable ALL options. Reboot into recovery. Clear Cache and Dalvik Cache. Reboot normally. Go back to Settings -> Locations and only enable GPS. Reboot once more and try your GPS again. If this didn't work, did you read all of the Notes such as the one about the battery or RIL?
Donations: If you wonder why I asked for donations, it's simple. Users of v3.x are gaining extra, noticeable benefit over v2.x. This comes at a cost to someone. I pay the bills to provide a reliable data setup to transmit the xtra.bin data file and to provide the top NTP SERVERS in one DNS pool. To help keep this going, I just ask for the user to consider a donation. Nothing more, nothing less. Thank you for your consideration.

Thanks Section
While this has gone a long distance since its inception, I want to still send thanks to Angeldeath for permitting me to take his early work and start tweaking it for HTC Inspire 4G users. This inevitably led to what we have here today.
Thank you to all those who joined and participate in the testing community. Without their help, I couldn't get enough data to know how well this works on different devices and in various regions of this planet we call Earth.

REVIEW THE WHOLE THREAD BEFORE POSTING QUESTIONS.

Currently: this is a tentative supporting thread for my aGPS patch. Assuming more report success, I will start officially supporting this device.
Please let me know your success rates. Thus far, a few people have sent me messages and emails stating that this patch works great on this device.
As such, I'm thinking it would be good to provide this officially for this device.
This has been used on over 40 devices successfully. I don't offer official support for all devices. Rather, I offer official support once users convince me to do so for that particular device. That happened here.
Statistically, here is part of my post from mid-December on all official threads:
So, let me give you a general update directed to those 3.x trunk users:
My server has automatically generated an xtra.bin file for your GPS excitement 3,980 times since September 26th when the first beta went online to test it out.
My server attempts to build a new version every 30 minutes. Depending on what it can decypher from other xtra.bin sources, it provides a totally fresh xtra.bin approximately every 1.2 hours.
My server has served up over 500,000 xtra.bin files to users like you on XDA since v3.1 was released.
My server continues to provide a reliable NTP pool to v3.x users by directing your phones to a handful of RELIABLE and FAST-RESPONDING NTP servers around the world. This ensures you can travel and not have to switch NTP pools.

Any of them should flash with CWR. Almost all were built with CWR binaries. CWM builds use its binaries and are the only ones different from CWR flashables.
I use and recommend the Google Build to all users. Others are just for those wanting to be more in tune with their cellular network. That's a false hope usually.

Any tips to see how many satellites I am hooked up to prior to this patch for verification?

If you have not flashed yet, you can run GPS Status (app from the Market) to see. Then, run the same app afterward.

Does the patch need to be installed each time you change a ROM or is it a permanent change?

It has to be reinstalled each time as the ROM will require a partition format OR will replace the patch files with its own.

Any testers out there with results positive or negative? This is the last device I have to determine to support or not to support officially.
I'd like to do so, but I need to know that it's good to go and helpful.

I will look in to this a little more tomorrow. I never had a chance today.

I can confirm this patch works. Great job on this!!!

Very glad to hear that my suspicions are being confirmed!
I hope to add this to official support soon, like I said.
Otherwise, the first post has been updated to include some more information especially in the Notes section.

All threads have had an overhaul that was way overdue.
High points:
Note discussion of what the patch does and what it replaces.
Note confirming ICS support from various users.
Note section has gotten long, but covers most questions I am repeatedly asked.
A total of 9 officially supported new devices.
Download section reminds people to backup their settings. You only need to backup /system/etc/gps.conf and /system/etc/suplrootcert if you have one. But, I never had to revert!
That being said, welcome to official support. Thank you all who confirmed and worked with me to ensure it was proper to offer official support to this device.
As always, please don't forget to click Thanks if you use or like this patch -AND- don't forget to Rate the thread. Donations are always welcome.
EDIT: Method 1, the easiest of the methods for those unfamiliar with file managers or recovery, has been updated. Some people required that the script also mount the partition. I have added that line to all options available and updated the ZIP file. Thanks enigmaamit for confirming that the new PUSH script works.

I'm quite curious why you installed this patch. The first post, third line and in bold, I quote myself:
crypted said:

Click to collapse
What was your issue with your GPS reception prior to flashing it? You say you locked on 6-7 sats. Was there a large error range?
You say you have Wifi disabled. Do you have a data connection at all?
Where are you located and what are your surroundings like?
Can you try and flash an "Alternate" build version to make sure you aren't being buggered by a known issue with older GPS hardware? This is
discussed under each download section and in the Notes.

Consider yourself lucky and happily a part of an extremely small minority to not have problems!
As the third line of the first post on this thread states, this is to assist those who do have issues. Unfortunately, many of us are plagued by a crap GPS without doing something to fix it...

1. I'd lose signal from time to time.
2. I'm testing this- thats why. Your curiosity isn't important.
3. This is a sat test right? No need for wifi connection.(All tests were done with wifi off)
4. I have good 3g service where I live.
5. I flashed 3.x google and 3.x google alt. As well as, 2.x for both. Still the same result.

[ROM][HD+] Slim-ovation-5.1.alpha.0.1-UNOFFICIAL

I decided to put up or shut up.
Alpha is in the title, but I guess I will call this first version a developer preview edition.
Thanks goes to Hashcode, without whose original work, this would not be possible.

I haven't had much time to play with it (no zram script, etc). I expect to improve this some with time.

system - ext4

Is it Christmas already? Will be testing this ASAP
Setting it up now, so far so good. It seems to have fixed the audio issue with Amaces CM12, where keyboard sounds aren't affected by volume. Will keep updating as I use it.
Getting some graphical glitches when rotating the screen, and a few missing items in the Settings window, but not too bad so far.
There is a frustratingly large number of settings missing, compared to CM12, from status bar options to the power menu. Hopefully, these can be added later on.

Given a little time, I think I can fix the rotation graphics glitches.
(I'm going to try some omapfb/dss kernel boot arguments and try to get rotation out of system/build.prop).
There's lots of other little things to play with.
Noticed it won't retain my wi-fi password through a reboot.
I had read something about a new secure storage container to retain secrets?
Settings... I'm sure that's slimrom's "slimming"...
The graphics side of things held me up for a long time. That's mainly what I'm concerned about right now.

As promised, here's a source dump and another test build.

If anyone wants to build this and be added to the contributor list, let me know....
It shouldn't take too much to polish it up.

I'd love to, but when it comes to baking my own ROM, I'm very much the nubcake. I WILL offer my hardware to be a test subject though. I have a spare on hand that is not a daily driver.

I will go ahead to say that at first glance, it is very smooth, and responsive. I'll give it a couple days, see how it does as if used as normal, and work from there.

I tried to flash this, but it seems to have an endless boot. I waited about 30 minutes and lost patience. Do I need to flash something else first, like extracting the boot.img? At one point, I wiped everything including cache, system, data, internal sd, and had a pretty blank slate. I am using TWRP 2.8.7.0 and 2.8.7.1. Also tried f2fs on cache and data and ext4. I must be missing something.

Was going to ask which device until o read the list you have. M8 s a on CE phone, I love mine with the same ROM! I don't know why it would not boot fornyou though, unless you have system set to f2fs by mistake, as this ROM does not support it on system like @amaces does. Maybe if younused his, and hopped to this one, that little bit was overlooked?

Here's what I got so far: when changing between land scape, and portrait there is some graphical distortion, and a touch of lag which clears up after about a second. There is no advanced reboot option, and when I sure down, it reboots instead. When multitasking, there is a general UI lag which clears up spoon after., and it does not save WiFi information so you have to reenter WiFi information after every boot. So far, aside from slims slimming causing a desire for menu options, and theming, this is all I found.

Is this in continued development?

No, unless someone wants to take over. Basically it was an experiment for me to see if graphics in lollipop could match that of cm10(.2). In short the answer is they can't... (without a ducati upgrade).
The other reasons are twofold. First, the lollipop browser completely sucks (I know, there's alternatives).
Lastly, I don't believe I would ever achieve the level of performance as I have with my yellow kernel 10.2 ROM (which is my daily driver), this again is related to the ducati.
I would like to take another stab at a kitkat ROM and see if I can incorporate some of the stuff I have picked up recently.
I would have updated liquidsmooth, but they have already pulled kitkat source. So I am debating which ROM repo to use (I'm thinking probably Carbon 4.4? Tabletui is important to me...)

Hey Jon, I'm excited to hear you might be building a Kit Kat ROM. Would like to try one that has your improvements such as no screen flicker and still be able to use screen casting. Looking forward to your build.

I have the Xiaomi.eu version (which has the updated weather app I've been waiting for, so it's based off this release) with Xmister's CPU handling app and there were no surprises with this update, battery-wise or performance.

Through OTA i got 940MB update for this 6.1.8. It is not incremental update size, more like full rom size. How about you guys? I still didn't update it yet.

Can you please tell which Stable version are you using and what is your Screen on Time and with what kind of usage. I was only getting 2 hours of Screen on time with MIUI7 7.0.12.0, so I installed Custom ROM Angel's and Demons and it gives me nearly 4-5 hours SOT.

Questions left? Ask @Miustone

Instructions:
BOOT TO THE RECOVERY/TWRP
WIPE DATA, SYSTEM AND THE CACHES
FLASH A AOSP OS/ROM/FIRMWARE/KERNEL
GO TO THE REBOOT MENU AND SELECT RECOVERY
FLASH THE PATCH BEFORE BOOTING INTO THE SYSTEM
REBOOT TO THE SYSTEM NOW. THE FIRST START MAY TAKE SOME TIME
And that's it! If You don't want to flash a new ROM, just choose the Clean or Full Wipe within the Patch. But avoid to flash a new Patch over a old One. Each Version is a own Thing, not just an Update.

One More...
New Thread, new Luck... :angel:
The next Patch is coming soon. Including a whole new AROMA Layout and a lot more Features besides some new Services and Functions. Hope You can live with 1.6 for now...

Hi OP
Welcome back. I have been waiting for your come back.
I am enjoying the Goodies of 1.6 with my OP5 installed after a clean flash of xXx No limits ROM which is stock based ROM.
Just a request. Please keep your G+ posting open for comments. I wanted to respond several times on your postings but none of them were accepting comments.

Hi Miustone,
good to see you are back. And thanks for your Lights Patch! I'm running it on my Axon 7 (A2017 4/128), DarkRom, Magisk, for months now. It's stable, super smooth with Sot up to 5 hrs, which is great, as I'm using 2 Sim cards, BT and wifi all the time.
I can confirm that the (muted speaker) call bug is back with Light Patch 1.6. It was solved beginning with version 1.2. Toggling speaker on/off doesn't help, WhatsApp calls have muted speaker too, Skype is working ok. Strange!
Please let know, if you need some logs. I will wait and check LP 1.7 anyway.
Keep on with your great work!

I've read the comments on the Axon 7 AICP and Linage Threads. I told them that i can fix it without the Patch but they prefer ignorance and trolling over fixing lol The Problem will be fixed with the next Patch. Need to find the fix step by step again since i've added a lot of new Audio Stuff...

The most of it is based on Qualcomm Tech and Ports. I'm not advanced with Mediatek but know that there are "similar" Techs available for them. I would prefer to let that others do, but i'm willed to help porting it if someone has interest on making a second Light Patch for Mediatek exclusively... What i never would support is Exyons, which is the biggest trash ever in My Eyes. Hardly closed sourced and not as much advanced as i want it to...
I'm btw. working recently on the next Patch System (V4). There will come a lot of changes, keep an eye on the Changelog if You like Spoilers :angel:
BR, Miu

So much work left... But i'm satisfied about the new Layout and Options. Much more to choose from besides some cool new Ideas which where long enough in My Backhead since some Version. I'm also working on ROM/OS injection Support and a One Click Option which flashs the Patch like i use it without the need to fight thru the whole Setup.
The OS Injection will be a Option and runs automatically on the One Click Installer, the first Release of it needs a unpacked/repacked OS which needs to be copy and pasted into the root of the Patch (Or just a ZIP inside the Patch, dunno yet). My Scripts are doing the Rest. Planned is a Injection Method of external Zip Files for the next Releases. I need to find a Solution for that and the Handling of ROM/OS Scripts in the Patch. Complex stuff but i think this could be a big Thing at all...
Any Help with it would be much appreciated!
All the Best! Miu

Hello Miu im looking your thread and cheking it often and waiting the new version i didn`t flash 1.6 because you mentioned you gona release new one and i read the changelog and i get even more excited about that. Im not So big at development patches but i have few questions and or maybe a suggestion.
In the Changelog i read about the Audio Optimization and thanks to AndroidBoy So i guess one of the echancment is pushing the SnapDragon DAC in Performance Mode? is this correct im interested in what kind of Audio Exhancment the Patch will inlude im a HTC 10 Owner now im set with Sauron.
Also what will be beneficial to ecchange the Snapdragons to the posible ever VIDEO/Image i mean the Best Posible quality watching Video, Pictures or whatever related to media this will be really beneficial for everyone.
Also before in the past years when we was still roling older Android build everyone know the tricks with build.props editing and so on in case to make something better or just to improve.
Now is a litle more different with the new Androids version and i think the things become much more advanced will be beneficial to have improvement of the SIGNAL WIFI Network if you want whatever all related things to the Chipset.
I wish if you have it already a link to read more detailed changelog for example how something is acomplishing and will have an idea whats really going on with the device applying that patch.
Thank you and keep doing LIGHT
