With slightly more than normal usage + 3G data traffic on(24*7), + 3-4 hours music, one charge stays for almost ne day. I think for me its enough, atleast i dont have to carry my charger everytime.

And i think for the RAM i can say that 800 mb is user accessible.

Hi deepunknown!

I tried benchmarking with quadrant also and i got 2513 just below samsung galaxy nexus. Your score is far better than mine how does that happened??:-o

Using V2,
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] S suxeN:
Here is my quadrant
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
I got that when I was testing v2. whenever I test a newly compiled zImage I clean cache & dalvik cache. after the phone boots up I wait for the phone to settle down and load all widgets and finish the tasks it's currently running. then I did the quadrant test. I got that rating couple of times and 2 ratings at 26xx and one at 2590.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
and how did you get that rating :confused:

it's my dream to reach such rating :P
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] S suxeN:
I am using dynamic rom with Our kernel, nothing special....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Our kernel? I don't get it who's kernel :s
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] S suxeN:
Sliding kernel v2
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Sorry I got confused by the "our" part. I thought you were a part of one of the teams for Xperia P :laugh:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] S suxeN:
It dhouldve been "your" :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
I have noticed 6 new downloads for version 1.

Is anyone having issues in version 2 that needs to be fixed?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LilBlinx:
Hope it has some power tweak. V5 lasted only a day, barely

Sent from Xplanet
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
You might still face the same problem, waiting for someone to confirm cuz that's the only way that will make me sure if the issue is from one of the things I modified for this kernel.

As you may have noticed it's a test release, I will undo what i did and you will get battery life the same as it was in version < 4 while maintaining the same performance with a slight decrease in graphics performance.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] [Fenix]:
Hi dude...i'm having the same signal problem with v5...before go to spleep i put my Phone on charging but when i wake up on morning the signal is empty and I can't Call or anything...so now i flash v6 and tomorrow i'll do a feedback ok?...Thanks for your work :)

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Your welcome :)

Hopping this version includes the fixes everyone wanted :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
Hi deep!! thanks for the new version V6, just flashed it and will give you the feedback as the time passes with the kernel :):D:D

---------- Post added at 09:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 AM ----------

you should have been using the pegasusq or hotplug govenor??? if yes you should try that governor in which both cores are in working state. i have been using ondemand with sio and have had no signal problems.

hope it helps you:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SirRobin78:
Is there any chance to build the kernel on the newest FW for the Xperia P? For me, main problem is the WLAN N bug in the older FW, so i can´t connect to the fritzbox or other N routers correctly...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Waiting for your feedbacks :D

I hope everything goes well :D

Yes there is a chance, I'm just waiting for the new source code to be released, once it's released by Sony I will update the kernel :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SirRobin78:
Ok, thank you! So´ll have to wait.

Maybe there is an other way to fix the wlan n issues?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
Hi deep!! I have something interesting here, if we are not writing here anything, in positive terms, this could mean that till now we don't have any problem. Lollllzzz, Rofl:D:D:D

Jokes apart , its been 5 hours since i flashed this kernel v6, i don't have any problem. Not even a single problem.:D

Thanks for this amazing kernel deep:D:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
To be honest I have the same issue as yours, sorry didn't mention it in the previous post, I was kinda tiered didn't really focus on everything :S

My phone used to connect to the router BUT after 5 minutes either the phone stops responding to wifi even though it still shows me it's connected OR the router enters an infinite reboot loop, the only way to fix it for me was to turn off wifi on my phone wait for the router to settle down and everything is back to normal. While I was searching for a solution I found that changing the wifi channel will fix it, but I tried almost all channels and yet I didn't get a solution. I even tried out using the same channel that is used in a public network and yet the issue is still there.

I recommend you check with Sony forum I'm pretty sure they have an answer for that ( cuz I didn't post a question there, I should have posted one :-/ )

Dude don't ever change your display picture, I first thought you were another user :p

That's great news that so far no issues happened :D

How about performance and benchmarking?! I hope they are the same as in version 5 where they used to always give me 27xx :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] biron_w:
I only have 3 options for CPU governer and they are Power Save,On Demand and Performance.

Why is this? I'm using CM9.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
This kernel doesn't work with CM roms, it's based on Sony's source code, not from AOSP source code.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
Here you go my friend, changed to the previous picture:D:D,

Benchmarking are good but didn't match the v5 benchmarks. Got 25xx. Still its pretty good.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SirRobin78:
No Problem :) As far as i know sony did fix this issue in the latest FW, maybe the Problem is that some Drivers in your package are still the older ones? I´ve got exactly this issues with the older Firmware and after the last update everything is gone - now the Problems are back with your kernel, sorry to say this :crying:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
LOL Thanks :p

Hmmm... but I didn't like the fact that it is giving you 25xx :(

I will recheck the changlog I keep for my self, maybe I have missed editing few settings :-/

I will release another version tonight hopping performance will be back :D

Don't be sorry my friend, reporting an issue will always help the developer :)

Once the source code is released I will update instantly, Thank you for your help at least now I have a clear idea on what is causing the issue :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] biron_w:
That explains it then! It still works well with CM. V5 gave me excellent battery life :good:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
So you are saying my kernel booted successfully on CM !! That's impossible I was never able to boot a kernel based on Sony source code on a CM rom on my Xperia Arc S !!

Well that's great :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
I think the yellow screen which was coming while entering into recovery is no more there in this v6, that's pretty good:D:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Great :D now that's some improvement :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SirRobin78:
So is there a way to go back to the stock kernel without loosing data, also with Deinstallation of superuser and the other things? Or is a wipe the only way to remove this things?

As far as i know the superuser app will stay alive after flashing stock kernel, can i remove it manually?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Yes you can. Just flash kernel.sin and System.sin via Flashtool and you wont be losing anything. BUT you must flash kernel.sin and System.sin of the current firmware running on your device to avoid issues :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SirRobin78:
Thank you! And can i remove the superuser app and the other things before doing this?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Once you flash System.sin Superuser and root will be removed :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
I just noticed one thing. I put my phone on charging when it was 28% battery level and at the same time i did dalvik cache wipe via moving into recovery and it just had taken 2 min, and when i booted my phone again my battery was gone up to 85%, that too in 5 mins of charging. What could be the reason for this.??? Despite Its a very cool thing, but just wanted to know out of curiosity:D:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
I used to get the same thing, the reason behind that is battery states are not being updated while charging, but in 5 minutes getting up to 85% it could be one of two things:

1. you were seeing wrong states and the battery shouldn't be at 25% that's why a reboot showed you the exact state.

2. there might be an issue in reading battery states and you should see the battery decreeing back if you disconnect the phone or reboot again when disconnected.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
Hmmmm, could be one of that but i think its pretty much eco-friendly :D:D:D. But thanks for the reason deep.

Yes!!.i have one request for you my friend, can put the power off option in your recovery as that would be somehow helpful in clearing dalvik cache before flashing a new version kernel. :D:D:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
I doubt I can do that as I'm using a already compiled recovery, can't actually add anything to it :-/
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
I just had a benchmark round, here is the result

Its improving and thats amazing.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
No problem my friend. That's not a big issue at all.:D:D

---------- Post added at 06:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 PM ----------

Hi deep!! Just wanted to tell you, that you are the most interactive developer i have ever seen. This thing i have not seen in the TH JAP kernel thread. I think its the best way to develop something, questioning, answering and participating in the thread as frequent as you can. More talk would lead to more suggestions, uncovering the hidden problems and concluding to a wonderful technology. :D:D:D

Keep it up bro, :D:D:D you rock:D:D.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] princechrming:
I second that :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SirRobin78:
I think i´ve to delete the superuser.apk manually - flashing the stock kernel with flashtool is fine but the superuser app is still alive?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] stole38:
hi , you're kernel is super smooth and thats coming out from a perfectionist , BUT i have huuge battery drains while sleeping and while browsing around the interface ... i really hate it when my battery sucks

Previously i used v5 but i thought it was very draining , then i went to v4 and its even more ridiculous .. then phone says i had like 6 hours of screen time ... but i had like 1 hour max , and the battery is 30 % after 20 hours ...i just dont get it , ive been using ondemand governor , i'll try v6 if that doesnt do the trick im going back to stock , and yes i've completely cleaned my phone of bloatware and battery draining apps
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] biron_w:
Yeah they work with CM. I've just flashed v6 with no problems.

I just do a backup,flash the kernel and then restore the backup and it works fine :good:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] [Fenix]:
This morning I checked the phone and I had to restart it with the new version because it gave no signal ... then I read the post Gaurav8180 and I set the ondemand governor...may be that it is also CPUsleeper causing the problem?

Then after a day of school went well :good: no reboot alright as I expected :)

I had forgotten even the wifi on and after 5 hours the battery marked 43% lol
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Thank you guys this means a lot to me :D :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
flashing stock kernel will not change a thing, only flashing System.sin will remove superuser app.

So battery is draining fast.

ok then I will fix it, cuz now I'm pretty sure what is the reason.

So does this mean it's a good thing or a bad thing :p

I'm pretty shocked you guys are having issues with signal, I didn't face anything at all when I had it installed :-/

I was using pegasusq and SIO ....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
In this v6, battery is really draining very fast and its not even updating correctly. Slipped from 95% to 89% in just 1-2 min. But after 80% it is working fine.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Fix in the next test release no worries my friend :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] [Fenix]:
Well...in my opinion the battery drain is greatly diminished because when I used the wifi with both rom and kernel stock the battery went from 100% to 40% in 2-3 hours...I do not want to exaggerate but I think it is so...btw I'll let you know tomorrow if changing the governor I still have the problem of signal...

You are very kind for what you do ... I'll never thank you enough :highfive:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
As for battery I will be fixing it in the next test release. you should experience better battery life.

As for the signal if you still have the issue, then it means it's because of the governors they are not yet fully compatible with Xperia P.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] asdsasd:
Hello.

I am using your kernel Version 5.

I am very satisfied, great performance, minimum lag, slow battery drain. Good job, I am eager to try version 6 but for now I am reserved watching others commenting battery drains.

I have stock rom 6.1.1.B.1.54, unlocked BL, rooted, CWM.

I use my phone daily on: 3G/4G all day, sync e-mail all the time, 20-30 minutes WiFi, 5-10 pics with camera. 30-60min talk time.

Battery: 2.5 days maximum, great one!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neverhood11:
:-O What phone u have?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Dude you just got me confused over here !!

How in the world version is giving you great battery life?! Everyone complained from version 5 because of battery draining :confused:

Anyways I will do my best to fix this issue for version 6, I'm still trying to find out what could be the cause of it :)

As for now I only have one option in my head that could be causing it, will try that hopping it is the issue of battery draining.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SirRobin78:
Today, i´ve got 2 times a hard problem with this kernel v6. operator network signal droped, no signal - a very long time. Only a restart of my devices fixed this issue. Anyone else got such a problem with new kernel?

same with me deep, no issues with signal, using pegasusq and sio, i wonder why some has issues like this..ive tested all the versions, and so far v4 was the best for me, slow draining on battery life, and good performance too, im testing v6 for 2days already if im right, seems fine, but the frequencies are flickering sometimes, i guess its normal..im using latest setcpu by the way
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] S suxeN:

I was satisfied with V5, it only consumes more power than V4...

Network problems solved different governor than Pegasus...

Going to flash in an hour ....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
To be honest with you guys I didn't work on the kernel on the past two days, I was waiting for your freedbacks, the problem is I got confused, some reported issues that I never faced and neither did some of the users. and some are reporting it's better than version 5.

so if someone could please give me a brief feedback so I can have a clear idea on what should be done :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] raunakrajvanshi:
Deep if its possible can u release a Kernel that Gives more battery honestly idgaf about performance :( We just need battery :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] S suxeN:
Zry version 4 nonoc - way better battery performance
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
Hi deep!! I think after yesterday my battery back up has increased a lot. Yesterday night my battery was at 50% and when i woke up today's morning ( after 8 hours) it had just reachd 46%. So i think in 8 hours its a pretty well and digestive battery loss. Although the network signal was there thru the whole night but only 4% drop was pretty good.:D:D. So for me battery draining is now not in the list of my issues.:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] raunakrajvanshi:
Yes tried :D just give this guy some time hell come up with something big :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
Here i am posting a snapshot in which my last eight hours activity, cpu usage and battery graph are being displayed. So please everyone look at this and form your perception about this v6 test. So that our friend deep should have a clear view of what to be done next.

Hope it helps you:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Hmm... Ok then I will re-look into configs and see how to maintain performance and battery life. but don't expect a release tonight, as I'm gonna go through each of the settings I enabled and see which one to remove and which to keep :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] asdsasd:
Well, I use my phone for 2 days with your kernel version 5.

The performance is really good, e-mailing all day, some pictures, wifi and 30-60 min talk time daily.

Of course I have cleaned my phone from all bloatware and crappy programs (even gmail, email and etc.)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Fair enough, in such case then yes no matter which kernel you will be getting more battery life.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Another test version will be out in minutes, I'm uploading it right now.

what you should notice:

More battery life

Same or a bit better performance.

I suppose battery life is back to normal, though I'm still waiting for confirmations.

Keep an eye on this thread and I'm sure you will get an answer soon :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
That's because I had to disable few things from the kernel which will give better performance but kills battery too.

Great performance with this kernel.

2025 in Quadrant.

Thanks for your fantastic work!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
I think battery backup has also improved alot.:D.

In the previous versions, 1 % of battery stood by 50-60 seconds where as in this version it drops after 80-100 seconds or even more than that.

I measured this while i was working on ,3G network, with data traffic on.

Here are the screen shots
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
You mean 3025, because I used to get 27xx :p

Great to know that :D

I hope it's really improved now :D

I think v6test2 still has battery drain issue(i cant see the difference), and dont ask about quadrant, it reach 2815.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neverhood11:
Battery isue? Battery life seems to be better for me...charged yesterday evening, testing quite a lot, took some photos, listening to the music, wifi still on, browse a net and still 65%... I think that`s not bad..
