Mini m4, roms on m7 - HTC One Mini

Is this even possible seeing as they are nearly the same phones besides some minor differences in ram cpu and physical aspects and of course att specific .
Just wonder of anyone has tried or knows if it's pssobke to run the minis shipped 4.2.2 in a Rom built form on the larger m7
And if in international aroma installer version could be made to work with multi carrriers specifically T-Mobile.
This is just an idea to get past 4.1.2 on our m7 and get 4.2.2 as a stock base with maybe even WiFi calling
Cause as it stands now all m7 variants att tmobile can flash eachothers carrier based roms besides sprint.

No, they're very different phones despite having similar names.

Ok that squashes that idea

Yes, there are far too many differences behind the scenes.
Sent from my One using xda app-developers app

I'm curious, can you flash a M7 Rom and use a M4 kernel? I'm thinking of this because you can install Windows or just about any Linux distro on almost any x86 computer as long as the kernel supports the hardware and you install the necessary drivers.

Very very doubtful. Different WiFi/BT rev, different kernel and ramdisk offsets, different firmware loading, different RIL (the list goes on).
This is more like a hybrid m7/htc one xl than anything thus far.

I'm quite suprised that the OP thought that a Snapdragon 400 and a Snapdragon 600 can have only minor differences

The more important differentiator is that the mini is an 8930 dual core and the m7 is an apq8064 quad core. Both fall under the msm8960 family...but different SoCs and some different hardware.

Just flash and use it. You can technically change the governor if you'd like to use something else, but doing that will take away the work they've put in to make this mod work at its best.
The consensus is that when you flash and reboot it won't work...you must clear dalvik and cache...from what I've seen this is the difference between it working and not working.
Hope that helps.

For the most part people have flashed a different kernel specifically one from the kernel thread in the dev section. That's what I did when I wanted to use the 1.8GHz setup on the last build of AOKP

Yeah thanks I did that but there really isn't a difference in speed I checked benchmarks too and there really low like it even dips into the 2000 which I don't understand I know that has nothing to do with real world prefromabce but why is the benchmarks so low
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
I still don't get why people still talk about about benchmark. I mean the guy says he knows it doesn't matter in real world usage. If that's the case then what's the point in asking? Isn't your phone fast as hell? Faster than ever? Faster than any other? Seriously I don't even have that benchmark app on my phone...lol.

I don't know about the benchmarks but I was using CM9 alpha 4 all day and everything ran pretty smooth. Got home and flashed the dual core mod and any noticeable hangs from before are completely gone!

That's sick. I'll have to check the new CM9 build. I was using alpha 3 for a while but was having service issues, my phone kept going back to 3g or edge when I normally get 4g.

If you try the cm9 alpha build I would try flashing the 1.73 radio I seem to get better connection but I have non lte area..just what I noticed with the 1.88 radio I had good speeds but wouldn't stay connected.. with 1.73 I stay connected more but less speed..

I'm in an LTE area (can't get LTE to work though =\) and have been running the 1.73 radio on CM9 for the past couple days. I've had to reboot a lot because of losing signal and it not reconnecting. The radio from the 2.09 leak is now available so I'm gonna give that a go for a few days.

Is it a new area to get LTE...I am wondering if its an at&t tower issue? As we know LTE isn't the most stable yet.

No I live in downtown Toronto.
It's Bell LTE. It was basically the only thing that worked well when I had stock sense on my phone.

I haven't had any problems with multitouch. Make sure you're disabling HTC gestures under the "Display and Gestures" settings. If you don't disable it, multitouch is limited to two points. Disabling this feature enables 10 point multitouch.

lol multitasking was already fixed by Calkulin, but he hasn't released his ROM yet
Currently they found the framework issue that messes with multitasking and once combined with 2.xx ROMs that increase available RAM to the user it should drastically help with multitasking.

4.0.4 already greatly improved multitasking. I tried going back to 4.0.3 and it was impossible.
ive gotten up to 440mb free ram on cm9 but noticed it still wasnt multitasking correctly, possibly because it uses the htc kernel?

Because the kernel in CM9 is based on 4.0.3 which has the butchered multitasking.
They worked wonders as far as sense 4 being a resource hog in 4.0.4. It's twice as smooth literally, and has more free ram. I'd love to know where the fat was trimmed. Amazing what software tweaks can do.

No, it has a revised version of sense and new settings for multitask because it is the new 2.x base.
And yes it is a big improvement. There was nothing wrong with it other than the settings were very aggressive.
CleanRom 4.1 or 4.2 with the level 2 multitask mod works great and it is based on 1.x base. The mod just changes the parameters. Old kernel new settings works great. So it really wasn't sense, just tuned wrong.
I recommend just joining us on the new CR4.5. It is the best Rom out there.
If you want the old base, use CR4.1. Bunches of mods, incredible battery life! 4.1 is probably the best all around as far as bugs, there really aren't any! 4.2 is ok, but not as smooth overall compared to 4.1.
I recently tested all radios for speed, and 1.91 is the clear winner. I posted all my results in the CR4.5 thread.
Standard edition is fine for daily driver use.

Only 4.0.3 roms, says so in the OP.
Sent from my sexy white HTC One X on T-Mobile
I've read many people say 4.0.4 is like 4.0.3 with the multitasking mod, but I completely disagree with that statement. I tried going back to 4.0.3 with multitasking mod to try out the Beastmode kernel. While the 192min/1200max underclock gave me extremely good battery life, the multitasking felt horrendous after playing around with 4.0.4.

Multitasking

Hello everybody
I used an apple iPhone 4s recently.
I noticed that it allows me to switch upto 8 applications without reloading them that too in a mere 512 mb ram.
But our HTC one x boasting 1gb ram allows me to switch upto 4 applications only.
I know that HTC has restricted it, and we can increase the limit unofficially.
But even then I am not sure about performance implications when we do that.
Also please let me know how much applications you can switch in Samsung galaxy s3 and Samsung galaxy nexus.

root, flash custom ROM and make whatever changes you need to get where you want, that is if you are on firmware that allows this.

I have already mentioned the modding possibility.
But, i am not sure the performance implications of having more than 4 apps in the background.
This has been discussed a lot... Just search for the multitasking threads.
In summary, HTC imposed the limit to save battery life. Most ROM developers have removed the limit so multitasking has been fixed.

What's the point of the thread then, you don't want to root because it may have a negative impact of performance? That's usually the reason why we root. To push our device to the limit
The only way to truly know is to try

HTC didn't limit the number of apps for the sake of battery, but more to offset the drain on memory and speed that sense causes. You have to remember that the sense framework adds a lot of things on top of the base android OS. All that extra stuff running in the background uses memory and by using somewhat harsh memory management, they can keep all sense stuff running smooth.
If you switch to one of the new builds of CM10, you will see battery life is very close to sense roms, without the horrible multitasking.

So are you trying to say that all the other mobile phones are able to switch upto 8 applications simultaneously ?
Is HTC sense such a piece of bloatware ?
Why doesn't.HTC store the applications state as did by apple iPhone to converse the battery.

HTC Sense limits multitasking even in HTC One S ?
Samsung Galaxy S3 doesn't have this issue ?
Why not HTC Sense store the background application's state?
How regularly do you multi-task with 8 apps? I use the ViperXL custom ROM and you can tweak your heart out on multi-tasking. Try it out - may be you could reach that number or greater.

Download any CM ROM and don't install GAPPs.
You must try different ROMs and choose the one that suits you.
For Most RAM free, I think SlimBean is your best choice. Just see the attached screenshot.

I imagine you would only notice a difference if you're zipping in and out of multiple apps. And the little differences in amounts of RAM used would have little real world usage differences.

Tweaked build.prop for evita

Is there any tweaked build.prop for performance,battery and net speed
Sent from my HTC One XL using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
There isn't a universal build.prop, it all depends on what ROM you're on and what carrier you're with. You'll notice Sense ROMs and aosp ROMs have very different build.prop files. Some of the settings (fast dormancy and hsdpa category, among others) might not be supported by your carrier so you'd need to check what they support before making any changes.
Also, as previously noted, speed/battery etc are affected by many factors like kernel, radio and other things. The best thing to do is do some testing for yourself with different settings and find what works best for you. Each user's experience cash vary greatly.
PS. Questions should be posted in the q&a section here. Not only is it the correct section, but you're more likely to get a fast response there.

Sent from my HTC One XL using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Do you understand how a build.prop works? If you change settings that are incompatible with your carrier it'll mess things up. The build.prop isn't really the right place to look for getting battery/speed benefits anyway. There is no "golden ticket" for this stuff, it's trial and error.
