Why did you roll back the last update, @jskasia? What was wrong with it?
why rolled back 28/10/2016 from 02/11/2016?
im using 02/11/2016 any problem with this build?
The new update is smooth and fast, however it drained slight more battery than the old one. I wanted to maintain this point as the baseline, so I rolled back to the baseline.

The new one has the older version of lock screen which ported from lollipop. I suspected this module caused the problem and considered remove it.

For the one who downloaded the new version and did not feel the drain, you can still continue using that version there is no bug, just the drop in term of consumption rate. The rollback is just for my own development objective. :)

It was cool for me. However, I've got one big problem even on the current build: the camera app does not record videos. I thought it was because I had added 60fps recording mode, but no. I haven't touched Camera now, and I can't record videos at all.
The thermal mod and the build.prop tweaks worked out pretty well, though.
Question: how can I get a full stock 20e image? I mean an actual IMG file, not a KDZ. @jskasia

@jskasia Thanks for the great rom u make. I hear that V20H has relase. Would u consider baking another version of Genisys using V20H?;)
Which phone model is it for ? 818p ? If yes, please give me the link, Thanks.

@jskasia, quite mysteriously, I can't get 60fps camera to work. In the latest build that you rolled back, the camera wouldn't record videos. In the current build, the camera force-stops on start when I add modified files. I only managed to add a couple of build.prop tweaks for gaming and stuff and raise GPU thermal thresholds to further improve gaming performance.
You can also reduce the screen resolution by, say, 15% to lighten the heavy burden of rendering a QHD screen on G4's not-very-powerful GPU.
I have not studied about the camera, did you mean install the addition apk or just change the configuration ? If you installed the new APK on the app or priv-app directory, please make sure the permission of folders are set to 0755 and files are 0644. Additionally, the security context for everything must be corrected as I mentioned before.
In case, your app required the special permissions to access phone hardware, please check the corresponding xml too. Sorry, I cannot help much. :(

I love optimizing the system to be able to push the device to its limit as it should, but I don't think that I would like to trade the battery efficiency with the performance. Therefore, limiting or disabling the CPU or GPU clock speed are put on the second plan of mine.

Regard the lower resolution, I used to do some research on it, which theoretically helps to improve the performance and battery consumption. However, many argued that it does not help that much.
Some tried to reduced their devices resolution through adb command and end up with many apps did not work properly. Thus, I considered not to touch it. However, you can still find it out.

Your research are interesting for me please keep report here. Many thanks.

First, Thank you for you hard work

Second, massage/call voice notifications not working.....
Huh.. no one here have had this kind of bug. What is the model of your phone ?

V20H

@jskasia I'm on h818p (indonesian version) and V20h is the OTA update from V20d (CMIIW).:)
I have deep search for that version but nothing found and i don't know how to make and "image" or extracted KDZ file from installed ROM. Maybe u can give some instruction to do that and I'll upload it. :fingers-crossed:

I can't find the guide how to get the new kdz.
Could you please try to update using the pc and search for the kdz downloaded to you machine ?

Can you give me some links where to start looking?

I am not planning to make a Rom, what I want to do is: to be prepared in case of a bootloop, to be able to create a Tot file where in init.qcom_post_boot.sh I will disable the big cores.
I had a bootloop 2 weeks ago and had no way of transferring the image into the internal storage to run dd. So the phone went to warranty.
There is a way. I'm still studying (for now works :) ).

I've just update my firmware to v20h. Is it safe to inject the initial version of this theme mod into v20h? I was using v20e before and love the theme but after updating my firmware, everything back to the original g4 theme.

And here's is the google drive link for v20h-ESA-xx

Use 7zip to join the files and extract.

@jskasia, mate is it possible to integrate @the_naxhoo mods on your next update? Or are they already there? Thanks in advance!

Is this for H818P?
