[ROM]InsertCoin 5.0.8 | 3.28.401.9•ART | 4.4.4 | Kontrol Tweaks•Market•IconPacks

[kerisky]

I have uninstalled Xceed because I had too much problem with IC 3. 0.7.
Now I have installed a clean 3.0.7. There are still two issues for me. IC market app doesn't work, I can't connect to my account.
I would like also to use vocal command to do a phone call, pushing the mic button and say... "call John". But it doesn't work, the mic stay on for an half of a second and then it shuts down
Does anybody know how to fix it?

Expect a FR ( Fixed Release) In the following weeks of 4.4.4.. Sorry for the long absence just dont want to leave you guys with a bugged rom.!!!! Still waiting for 5.0.2 for this device.!!!

Any update on this? I just got my mini back from repair and want to install the latest software and let it catch dust as my back-up phone.
I see I'm still on 2.22 hboot, while 4.14 is around (at least if my sleepy brain isn't deceiving me.. Any advantages of using that with IC3.0.7 or won't that work?

 

[kerisky]

Does anybody have problem to connect to IC Market ?
I can't... it always says "timeout error".

I would like to try InsertCoin 4.0.6, where can I find it ?

Anyway, IC 3.0.7 works well without Xceed

 

[angomania]

Same problem with 3.07 and IC Market (timeout!).
I´be installed xeed kernel (M4-KK-442-prod-bld1.zip) and used gov "msm-dcvs". All is working fine, the second core turns on when needed.
How do I uninstall the xeed kernel? Where can I download the original kernel?

 

[kerisky]

Ok, so I'm not the only one with IC Market issue!
Why do you want unistall Xceed if it works ?
I think that with Xceed + Synapse the phone works faster.

So... I still have two questions
- Where can I download IC 4.0.6 ?
- Does IC 3.0.8 (4.4.2 KK) have Xceed kernel inside ?

I've always boot loops issue with 3.0.7 + Xceed.

Thanks !

Where the heck do you get the xceed kernel?

[tihimasmo]

Thanks but that's the one I tried flashing earlier without success. Tried downloading several times both to pc and phone.

Edit: weird. Now it worked

No, IC 3.08 does not have the Xceed Kernel in by default.

As for the boot loops:

1. Wipe [Cache] + [Dalvik Cache]
2. Install latest Xceed kernel (for Android 4.4.3)
3. Wipe [Cache] + [Dalvik Cache]
4. Reboot

Good luck!

I've seen several ppl say disable dt2w, but how about s2w and logo remap?

Edit (kernel):

Thank you very much for your help!
Should I install latest version of Xceed for 4.4.3 even if I am on IC 3.0.7 (4.4.2) ?
Is IC 3.0.8 "more compatible" with Xceed kernel than IC 3.0.7 or is it the same?


Cheer,

Marco

Same. Np I like to help

After running the rom for several months now, I find it quite unstable.. Settings which I've posted a couple of pages back turned out to be unstable.. The kernel also seems to freak out above 50mv of undervoltage.

Wifi preforms horrible, as soon as I toggle it on, my phone locks up from time to time.. RAM management I think? I dunno. I'm going to try CM soon... Support for this ROM seems to be dropped

If you're on 4.4.2 (3.07) do NOT flash a 4.4.3 kernel. only flash a kernel if the ROM and kernel android version do not match. In this case there is one exception, namely : the 443 kernel is also for Android 444 ROM's. (IC 4.06 is android 444)

cheers.

-- edit -- 25-08-15

Since I've posted as last I'll edit this post. I thought I'd make a small read out on my current performance settings since I'm really happy with it!

My phone lasts for about 2 full days now, I still get more battery drain with WiFi on than with 3G on, which to me, is really strange. I can't find the reason why this is, maybe it's because of the governor. I use interactive. When I use MSM-DCVS this issue occurs less, I do get more battery drain and less performance than this interactive governor so, I rather stay with interactive.

My device has got a really good sleep, I've found that the Gapps process is the most consuming and wake-lock-spitting process there is. Therefore I've done some extra's in order to make sure that my device can sleep well.
I use the app called: "Amplify" for often occurring wakelocks. Here are the settings of this app:

Wakelocks (tempered)

• NlpWakeLock
• GCoreFlp
• LocationManagerService
• NlpCollectorWakeLock
• RILJ

Alarms (tempered)

• ALARM_WAKEUP_LOCATOR
• ALARM_WAKEUP_ACTIVITY_DETECTION
• com.google.android.gms/.lockbox.lockboxAlarmReceiver

Services (tempered)

• .com.htc.flexnet/FlexNetService
• com.google.android.gms/com.google.android.location.internal.PendingIntentCallbackService
• .com.android.gms/.wearable.service.WearableControlService
• .com.htc.widget.notification/.util.ProductivityService

I have found that these apps or whatever they are, were quite consuming my battery. With Amplify we control the amount of wakelocks and whatever an app can do per given time, however, I've also shut down some services for certain apps completely in the app that comes with this ROM called: "AppOps".

If we go to the AppOps 'phone' section we can set a number of permissions, the following permissions worked out for me well. Please take in mind that I only post the settings which I've changed here, everything else was and is as default.

Google Play Store

• Location: Deny

Skype

• Stay awake: Deny

Google Play Music

• Stay awake: Deny

Google Play Services

• Location: Deny
• Read SMS: Deny
• Stay awake: Deny
• (I've got a feeling that due to the fact that I sort of disable Google Play Services a bit I get this horrible WiFi performance the first 2 mins screen-on)

Facebook for HTC Sense

• Place notification: Deny

Facebook

• Location: Deny
• Stay awake: Deny
• Draw on top: Deny

This was the list for my AppOps. Now we move on to 2 apps for the CPU control. I use:

• Synapse and
• Trickster Mod

I only use Trickster Mod to set a maximum frequency. Synapse does not support this. So if you're going to adjust timings etc.. as I will explain in a couple of lines, you can do it either in Synapse or in Trickster Mod, it does not matter. We need Synapse for the undervolt and krait voltage boost disabler.. we'll get to it;

Synapse
Set Maximum Core frequency (inherited from Trickster Mod)

• 1512 MHz

Set Minimum Core frequency

• 384 MHz

CPU Governors

• Interactive

Governor Tunables

• min_sample_time 15000 (the amount of time we stay at a frequency before scaling down)
• boost 0 (no idea why this is here and what it does, just leave it 0)
• hispeed_freq 810000 (the frequency to jump to when cpu load is at "go_hispeed_load" in %)
• timer_rate 15000 (timer.. does what it says)
• above_hispeed_delay 90000 (the amount of time we stay at a frequency before scaling up)
• go_hispeed_load 99 (the load % on the CPU before going to hispeed_freq, I've noticed that the cpu really often goes to 99 - 100% easily so therefore I use 99)

CPU Voltage Control
Set lower frequencies undervolt

• 10 mV (I've experimented a lot with this, I found that at 20 mV, the demanding apps started to freak out and lock my phone)

Set higher frequencies undervolt

• 10 mV (same as above)

Krait Voltage Boost

• Disabled

----------------------------------------
I/O Scheduler!
------------------------------------------

Internal Storage

• FIOPS

Internal storage read-ahead

• 512 kB

---------------------------------------
Advanced tab
---------------------------------------
Vibration Intensity Control

• 1600 mV (I found that this is more than enough for me to sense it even in horrible circumstances, if you wanna have a personal vibrator, I won't stop you. Remember, you probably get messages a lot, so every millivolt less is a % battery more!)

The rest which I didnt mention is just as default in Synapse.

Trickster Mod

-----------------------------------
General tab
-----------------------------------
CPU Frequency Control

• Frequency lock [ ON ]
  
• Frequency profile: untitled
• Min: 384
• Max: 1512

---------------------------------
Specific tab
---------------------------------

• MP-Decision [ ON ] (some have debated whether this is a good thing or not, I think it is. You may experiment with this. What it does is, it shuts down a core much like MSM-DCVS does by default, if there is no load.)

Now, that was all for the Trickster mod. I have one more thing to say that I use in the developer settings.
I like a fluid flow when I navigate through the UI so, I use these settings in the developer options to be less dependable of the CPU (which is always busy with god knows what)

• Developers options > advanced > Disable HW overlays [ Checked ]
• Developers options > advanced > Force GPU 2D rendering [ Checked ]
  
• Now, if you have many issues with homescreen redraws, you can also check "Force 4x MSAA" and see if that helps.

It has been quite a write-out, must have been quite a read-out for you guys. A couple of posts back I've also posted some of my settings with the interactive governor but those have not proven to be stable, these are (lucky me).

Maybe you can do something with it, maybe not. It's up to you!

Cheers

So, as we see all development for M4 has stopped. Which means we -- unlocked and rooted users -- are stuck with one of the current custom ROMs until we get a new phone.

From all I can say, the most stable and usable ROM I've had on M4 up till now is InsertCoin 3.0.7 with corresponding Xceed kernel, NO Synapse, NO Xposed, NO heavy tweaking.

I know that's pretty limited but basically it's the only configuration under which most functions of the phone work more or less reliable in the long run. From my experience, any set-up more advanced than that will cause major instability problems sooner or later.

Totally agree on this.

HTC Aero coming up though, looking promising!

Where does one get the corresponding Xceed Kernal? The OP mentions that haptic feedback and motion sensor doesn't work without the kernal, is that the same with 3.0.7?

I've just got my wife a one mini and I've decided the remove all bloatware and make it run better, but she is not very techy so I don't want to have to keep fixing it for her. I'll take stable and fast over massive tweak like I have on my Xperia in this instance.

Thanks!

 

[pankozin]

corresponding Xceed kernel is 10-26-2014 4.4.2. kernel?

For IC 3.0.7 you need Xceed 4.4.2 kernel from here -- https://github.com/zeroblade1984/htc_msm8930_kernel/wiki/Downloads

If you wife's M4 still runs stock firmware, I would strongly advice you to think twice before unlocking it and flashing custom ROM. IC 3.0.7 may be a "usable" custom ROM for M4, but it's far from perfect and it is not bug-free. You wife will get issues like Camera app FC'ing randomly and recording getting lost, etc.

I tried to flash IC 3.0.7 on my device and now it gets stuck at HTC Bootscreen.

There was an error message in aroma after installing, boot.img installation failed. It's because of my hboot version so i flashed it via fastboot like always (reboot to fastboot in TWRP -> flash via Win7-PC - fastboot devices showed the phone).

There was also an error in TWRP Log saying:

E: Unable to stat '/data/lost+found'

Tried to install with custom Aroma settings and all extensions activated at last screen. Tried this tree times. Then tried it with unchanged settings. Nothing works.

I also flashed Xeed kernel 'M4-KK-442-prod-bld1' without sucsess.

TWRP now also says 'No OS installed' at exiting.

Need help, any ideas what i could try to fix this?

Thanks

EDIT: Installing CM12.1 works. Without flashing boot.img manually!

EDIT2: I was on h.boot2.21, upgraded to 2.22 and works without problems. flashing boot.img is only needed for my incredible s, my fault.

hi

great om one problem tho no vibration on touch pad or keypad please can you sot this out

Hello everyone!

Please excuse me in advance for off-topic, but since IC development has discontinued disregarding many hints and promises, leaving the community with either a seriously outdated Android 4.4.2 or a buggy 4.4.4 version (which are both prone to StageFright exploit!) I feel it's my obligation to report here of my alternative findings, since community around IC-development was by far the largest for M4.

I wanted to share my recent experience with unofficial CyanogenMod 12.1 (Android 5.1), which after 3 days of use turns out to be very positive.

2015-10-20 UPDATE: My phone got bricked running CM12 this morning.
I woke up, disconnected phone from the charger, texted a little and tried to make a phone call. It switched off. It's dead now.
Sadly, this is the second time CM bricks my M4. First one got bricked by CM11 within 30 minutes. This time it got bricked within 4 days

I guess it's better to stay on IC 3.0.7 after all. It may be outdated, but at least it's not going to brick your device.
