KCal Color Control on HTC U11
Use CleanSlate config app for non-rooted configuration

Pulsating notification LED video:

Flashlight notification

Squeeze control:

Chromatic gradient colors for battery percentages while charging..
Will gently pulse green when reaching 100%

Requirements
- Unlocked HTC U12+ with TWRP
-- Tested on European HTC U12+ (dual sim) model. Please report back about your device/model experience!
- BACKUP: make sure you backed up your original Boot partition in TWRP, before installing this! Installer only modifies BOOT (kernel zImage)

- INSTALL: Side load, or install the zip from your sdcard through TWRP
- Reboot.
--- If not using PlayStore Donation apps, then install CleanSlateCompanion-x.y.z.apk / CleanSlateConfig-x.y.z.apk from SDCARD (copied by installer if internal memory was mounted) Please grant Notification Access and the permission to read/write SDCard, read phone call status.
------ !! IF YOU UPDATED THE COMPANION APP, Don't forget to Open it again as well after update !!
--- use CS Configuration App to configure stuff without rooting
Companion application writes /sdcard/uci_sys.cfg to communicate with kernel, you'll find it there after first running the app, don't delete it.

Known bugs:
- None, please tell

Oh snap, tbalden has dropped da bomb!

WOOOO HOOOO!

billgs · Jul 30, 2018

Hey @tbalden, glad to have you on the U12+ side!!! Can you please comment on the scrolling smoothness? I am describing the issue here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77202041&postcount=2
It is driving me insane, can you also confirm this? Thanks in advance!

Freak07 · Jul 30, 2018

Finally :highfive:

Best HTC wingman also in board. :cowboy:

Lets get the formation up and ready to rock!!

Nice work as always

Thanks for the heads up. Haven't yet noticed it, looking at the expand qs tiles animation smoothness.
At the moment I'm not using the stock 1.21 base kernel, but an updated version of the official 1.15 base with caf changes. That is the result of @Freak07 relentless work, updating to qcom sources, and making it possible to boot on 1.21 with outdated HTC sources.

But otherwise all very stockish, no special modifications on the gpu/fb/schedutils part.

Your noticing that it's not interactive is correct, but that's OK.

Later I'll go back to stock 1.21 and see.
In the meantime could you have a test with this kernel too? Or have you already tried?
There maybe a difference.

Been waiting for this a long time. But patience paid off, weeded out a nice bunch of bugs while stuck on the previous base without official sources.

Now it's even greater to have your non stock merge oriented attitude here, otherwise no idea how much more days we should have waited for the official source. Kudos for not settling :highfive:

Hey @billgs

I noticed this issue too but already way back on 1.15 base.

I think CAF resolved it in some of the newer CAF tags which I merged in my kernel.

I don’t notice it any longer on my kernel and currently on 1.21. It would be great if you could try my kernel and see if the issue is resolved for you. So we know if we’re talking about the same thing.

Hey, thanks for the reply. Good news that you don't see it on your kernel, makes me believe that it is resolved. If you manage to try the stock kernel, please let me know if you also see this, if you still have your U11 get them side by side and notice how different is the scrolling in any actions involving swiping with the finger pressed down (for example, try "jerking" the notification shade up and down really quick). For me, this is one of the things that once you see you cannot really unsee, and I am surprised that noone mentioned this so far. I had the impression that something was off, coming from the EXCELLENT U11, and that makes all the difference to me. Unfortunately, I cannot try your kernel yet, I dont want to unlock it yet as I have an extended return window on the device and I am still weighing the pros and cons of keeping it (I lean heavily towards keeping it, but still).

Thanks Freak07, I am not alone in seeing this, right? As mentioned above, if I get to unlock the device, your kernel will be one of the first thing I will try. It is such a pity that such an issue exist, takes some points off of an otherwise great device.

No you´re definitely not alone. I noticed it right away, but was pretty sure it would be fixed by the Qualcomm guys on CAF pretty fast.

Well as you already said it cannot be unseen that easily. But fortunately I don´t scroll much with my finger pressed continuously on the screen in my regular use, so I didn´t want to spoil anyone.
Will probably fixed with the next base from HTC as they merge in CAF quite well. And now I´m pretty certain we see the same thing so it´s fixed in my kernel

JR 2007 · Jul 30, 2018

Somebody tried to got s-off with this kernel.For example it's not possible to do with kernel Kirisakura.

I'll need to retest this on stock too., to make sure, but as I had a couple of things merged in from DRM / GPU (stuff related to how the screen syncing behaves) besides the other qcom stuff, I think you will have roughly the same result with cleanslate.
:good:

I'm on the 1.15 US unlocked 100% stock everything and I don't have any of this on my device. I've had it since the first week after release here in 'merica.

Check and see if maybe you have an early hardware release version? Mine says Hardware version 03.

Also have you tried to RUU to the latest available and work your way back to your current setup? Double check after you load any apps to see if it's from a 3rd party and not the kernel.

Just stabbing in the dark really, tbalden and freak 07are the pros. They'll figure it out for sure.

it´s definitely there on 1.15. Don´t search for it if you don´t see it

it´s kernel related for sure.

I did not spot this during regular use, I spotted it accidentally. once you know how to trigger it and what to look out for it´s pretty obvious to see it.

It is fixed on 1.21 stock kernel I checked that just now. So either way: 1.21 stock has it fixed, my current Kirisakura-Kernel has it also fixed for sure because I merged the CAF updates in.
Cleanslate may have it fixed too it depends on what @tbalden merged from my kernel :good:

Not yet. I hope someone will report on this.
But why not use simply a stock backup rooted?

Affirmative, I haven't triggered it then. Id have noticed it immediately since I I had it on my 10. I'metty good at testing, but obviously haven't tested thoroughly enough. I'm still stock, so I guess I'm slacking. Been too busy with work and my kids to carve out time to root.

I wonder when HTC US will get us the update? Been a few weeks since it dropped for Europe and Asia. Typical lazy American's, lol.

I can't thank you and tbalden enough for your continued support. Without folks like yourselves we'd all be stuck on stock. Thank you! :highfive:

OK, so I have somei weird news to share on the topic. I just got back from an O2 shop that has the U12+ as a demo device. It runs the 1.15 stock unlocked EU version, it does NOT have the jerkiness. I also confirmed this with a guy that works there, just to be sure my eyes are in order. This is confilcting with what you experience @Freak07. To recapitulate:
- I have stock 1.21 running and I experience choppiness. I don't remember having it on 1.15, cause I am pretty sure I would have noticed.
-A demo device I saw with stock 1.15 does not have it.
-Freak07 says it was most definitely there on 1.15 stock, but not on 1.21 stock.
-Different users here as well as on my original post do not seem to have it.

So I am thinking, can it indeed be something that triggers it? I am pretty sure it is not a hardware/panel issue, as it does not happen when you flick to scroll, only when you drag to scroll. In addition the panel can display perfectly 60FPS content (eg youtube videos) without jerkiness.

Can more people share their experiences on the topic so we can figure this out? Thanks in advance!

I replied in your review thread.

in my lunchbreak I fastboot booted the 1.21 kernel to check and I couldn´t see it. Maybe the kernel needs to be flashed and not booted.

So now it´s indeed a strange one. But the positive thing is, it seems resolvable

After a few versions I've tested, I conclude that the framerate fix not published/available yet in official HTC sources is indeed incorporated in the cleanslate tree as well. (Hopefully the new 1.21 stock sources will be up in the coming week(s), fingers crossed)

So that's it, next update I'm going to add the recovery touchscreen fix that is handy if you want TWRP flashed permanently without the TWRP Hexpatch installer.

Will get back to some other remaining stuff, like squeeze functionality and probably kernel ambient display, when I get the chance.
Till then, enjoy summer and this fantastic phone :good::highfive:
