no one forces you to flash v15 ^^

even tough all problems i had at first, now everything seems to work completly fine on v14!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] doki81:
the bluetooth seem to have some issue....after flashed v14..my pebble watch just wouldnt pair correctly with my phone...and i flash v15...same thing happen...
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Destroyedbeauty:
I really liked the performance V14 gived me - but the battery drain killed me completly *thumbs down*!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Alhaddad:
Thanks Doom... i was hoping you would add the cd emulation for DriveDroid in this version :p

edit: LuckyPatcher still complains about busybox not installed!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
well i am trying to get a good balance between stability, performance & battery life... lets see how this version holds up...

please do keep testing this kernel version in terms of stability...

as i keep saying stability in daily use is my #1 priority as i myself use the Xperia Z with stock ROM as my daily driver....

i havent touched anything related to bluetooth...

did it work fine on v13?

v15 is a test release... lets see how the testing goes...

i will add it later...

check the out put of:

adb shell
su
which busybox
ls -l /sbin/busybox
ls -l /system/bin/busybox
ls -l /system/xbin/busybox

[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION]

please compare between v14 & v15 in terms of stability, performance, battery life & compatibility with your setup (exfat sdcard, etc)... please do let me know which one you prefer... i have all patches ready... for me v14 was working without any issues...

if v15 solves any problems which users faced with v14 the future kernel releases will be v15 based... else i will shift to v14 as base...
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] MrMmmkay:
Great work, v15 has no Problems with Pictures on external SDcard (FAT32) for me, also AndroidTuner recognize the SDcard in the right way, so for me v15 is very good, v14 is not usable.

Keep your great work doom!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Alhaddad:
only /sbin/busybox exist!

coz i'm running stock rom and didn't install busybox.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] doki81:
seem to have issue on wifi...cant turning it on at all..i am on v15..
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
in that case u dont have busybox installed in your ROM!!!

download the busybox installer from play store and install busybox to /system/xbin/

hmm... can u post a fresh dmesg output when u reboot device and activate wifi?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Alhaddad:
yeah i know i don't have it... i reported this before that busybox installer warns me that it found busybox in /sbin/ and installing it somewhere else may break something in the kernel.

so, anyway i'll just go with your advice and install it in xbin

thanks
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] doki81:
erm....as i am on monx rom,..

after he advise to flash his adv kernel..finally i got the wifi working back.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] creison:
So far so good!

Hi folks!

Doom V15 working Gr8! with RomAur v8.1 XZ AROMA, so far so good!:laugh::good:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Evil_Sephiroth:
Mmmh ok let's explain this issue

On Monxified ROM (HonamiXZ) with stock kernel no problem at all...

With doomkernel (V12-V13-V15-V15) if screen timeout sometimes i have lot of delay on screen on (backlight on but nothing on screen for 5-10 seconds)

No problem if I turn off screen with power button....sort of sleep of death.

Any idea?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] thienbrand:
Hi Doomlord :D How are the gamma control :D
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] zyxel25:
dont have anyproblem on v14 on my sdcard exFAT format, why remove the intelli_plug CPU hotplug controller?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
the intelli_plug hotplug controller required some modifications in the header files of the kernel sources... these changes broke the compatibility with the stock TexFAT driver... hence had to remove it...
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] rohit25:
hey mate!

just one question which one would you be buying next Xperia Z Ultra or Xperia Z1 .... i am thinking of Z1 but would prefer the one that you would buy.....

also had one more little query the screen on the Z1 is not like our bravia engine 2 once rooted it goes away.... right....
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] akosirenzo23:
I cannot turn on my wifi. im using romaur 8.1:(:confused:

Nvm this post. Already fix. I reflashed the v15 works fine now. Smoooooth. :):cool:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
i am going to buy the Xperia Z1 !

not sure about that... but i dont think the screen will go away ;)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] MR.Samo:
Our Xperia z will not lose bravia engine when rooting it, it will lose it when u unlock the bootloader.

And as a lot of users had confirmed that even when unlocking the boot loader bravia engine will remain and u will not lose it, I test it already and its working.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] worf_1977:
Depends, i think, on your unlock way... I.E. With flashtools, i think Bravia and track id are working..

On the other hand, fastboot erases everything during unlock process...

Mine has the both of them working, even gracenote. That's why i think my DRM keys are intact... And for Bravia, i don't notice the difference. All pics are the same for me, with or without it LOL
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] joejoe23:
It only works for videos but not picture after unlocking bootloader. Doesn't really bother me cos I will transfer my photos to pc.

Sent from my C6603
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Trehjulingsleffe:
Same for me. Even with DooMKernel 15 and romaur 8.0 this problem occur. (i'm now at 8.1) and reflashed doomkernel after update of romaur in TWRP.

I've updated busybox to latest version via the busybox app to xbin.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Edit: Flashed a clean install of moonXdifiedZ. can't enable wifi with doomkernel :-/
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] dron39:
DooMLorD,

Any plans to update recovery's? :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
my build system is out of date... i have applied for XDA build server... if i get it i will try compiling new versions....
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] [NUT]:
I'll compile them this weekend if you still don't have them I'll put them online for you on Drive :cool:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
thanks! that would be great!

please send both updated CWM & TWRP!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] akosirenzo23:
i just wipe cached/dalvik. flash rom reboot flash kernel works fine. =)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] daddilo89:
I am on stock .244 and using doomkernel v14.

I tried to update to v15 but had problem with activating wifi, so I had to go back to v14.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] psycmos:
After V14 installed, install v15 and wifi will work ;) in my case i have the same problem but flash v14 and after v15 and wifi is still working ;)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] m0b:
There is no /system/etc/firmware/wlan/prima/* in v15 package, i think this is the reason why you need install v14 first.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] psycmos:
Yes i think it is too ;)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
oh ****!

thanks for pointing that out!

i must have by mistake deleted it... i wanted to remove the init.d directory but i removed the etc directory by mistake...

i will upload a newer package asap!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:

Cheers!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Trehjulingsleffe:
Sorry to bother all the time, but when one problem is fixed (wifi on 15-new) another starts to show up. To be honest, I didn't check this out in old v15.

I have a bluetooth mouse, and it cant connect when on v15-new. When i connect it, the bluetooth turns on and off quickly and the mouse is disconnected (HID profile).

I also have a Sony MW1 bluetooth handsfree and it works with both v14 and v15-new.

When the above occoured, i flashed back to v14, still doesnt work.

Then i restored the backup i did before v15-new (always do backup, amen to that), and the BT mouse can connect correctly.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
thanks for reporting this!

i dont have any BT accessories so i cant check..

though the hint u gave regarding the HID profile has given me a clue as to what could be the issues...

you said that the backup u did before v15-new worked for the BT mouse right? can u please tell me which is the kernel version that worked for you?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] zyxel25:
i have a problem my sdcard is formatted to exFAT and when i batch backup on Titanium backup it said insufficient storage even though i have plenty more space and i set the backup folder to the external sd and cant even move a files from external sd to internal.

edit: i reverted back to v14 and dont have any problem to the sdcard.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Trehjulingsleffe:
This is what I did in this order:

I did a backup of

DoomKernel v14, romaur 8.0:

BT works perfectly with HID and A2DP profile.

Fast battery drain without eco mode and intelli plug on

WiFi works.

Then

Flashed v15-new:

BT stops to work with HID-profile (A2DP works fine)

Used to short of time to test battery life

WiFi works.

Then

Flashed back to v14

Same as above with no working BT HID.

Then:

Back to backup

BT works perfectly with HID and A2DP profile.

Fast battery drain without eco mode and intelli plug on

WiFi works.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
i am testing a new kernel... based on v14... added some more stuff... FIOPS, updated GPU governor, HID Sony as a module with ps3 ctrl enabled, CDROM lun interface, CPU auto hotplug ;)

performance is really good! testing stability...
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] sea2605:
btw:

Solved (hopefully) my wifi issue by flashing your advanced kernel in cwm, then booting normally, then flashing doomkernel v14 in cwm. Since yesterday evening: no issues. hope it stays this way :)

Same "sleep of death" issue with V15 and V15new
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
can you be more specific when this happens? what setting were you using?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Haldi4803:
Still on V14 with stock 244.

Now using 194-1242mhz undervolted 700mv minimum.

Interactive +cfq worked stabled.

Now trying intellidemand + Row.

CPU auto hotplug ? cores hotplug? like intelliplug or mpdecision ?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Evil_Sephiroth:
sure

On Monxified ROM (HonamiXZ) with stock kernel no problem at all...

With doomkernel (V12-V13-V15-V15new) if screen timeout sometimes i have lot of delay on screen on (backlight on but nothing on screen for 5-10 seconds and sometimes i have to press button various time after waiting 15 sec)

No problem if I turn off screen with power button....sort of sleep of death.

this happen with interactive, performance, ondemand, etc etc (stock or lower voltage change nothing)

this happen too with stock rom (but only with doomkernel)

i have already formatted data+system+cache+other stuff and reinstalled all...but i stll have this little issue
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
good... i think i will be sticking to v14 as base for future kernels...

yes its a controller for hotplugging CPU cores...

can you check if there are any mods init.d scripts? (check the /system/etc/init.d/ directory)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Evil_Sephiroth:
That's my init directory
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
remove all scripts from there and then test

[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION]

added ZRAM, CleanCache & FrontSwap too! testing the new kernel :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] mamenvn:
Dear Doom,

How to enable zRam?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
i am testing that kernel right now... havent yet released ;)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] MrMmmkay:
Hope rebase on v14 will not break fat32 an external SD again :(.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] peschka:
Perfect ! I'm on latest monxDIFIED rom + your perfect v14 kernel.

Currently using intellidemand + row as daily driver. Not a signle reboot, FC, sleep of death or kernel wakelocks. Nice job !!!

I'm currently testing Intelli-Plug with Multicore Power Saving 2 and FSYNC all enabled ... and must say its AMAZINGLY smooth and battery friendly. No problems for 24h for now. Only downside is Eco Mode. On my old phone (nexus 4 (same cpu)) when turning Eco Mode on I never sow single slowdown or UI hickup - here the case is much much worse. Maybe need a little tuning.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] zyxel25:
is this already fixed?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Evil_Sephiroth:
Removed all script and rebooted...still same problem;_;

If I remember this problem start to happen on V7 to me...

And i'm excluding hardware problem cause i have no "sleep of death" on Cyanogenmod and stock or stock based rom with normal sony kernel
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] wawyed:
Increase min cpu freq.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Evil_Sephiroth:
I'm on 384 mhz. Increase min freq reduce my battery.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Destroyedbeauty:
Try with lowering 384 to 192 mhz and tweak CPU governor for faster jumping to the frequencies between 600-900 Mhz range.. This helps a lot.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] dron39:
DooMLord,

How about update TWRP to 2.6.3.0 in your next release? :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
[MENTION=2446348]jeroenqui[/MENTION] has heard your request and has sent me the newest recovery :)

it will be added in next kernel release!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
HUGE THANKS TO [MENTION=2446348]jeroenqui[/MENTION]

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Destroyedbeauty:
No more work for the old classic Arc / Arc S community when it comes to kernel? Or?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Arc/Play are no longer supported... multiple reasons for that... if u were following those kernel threads u would know...
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Destroyedbeauty:
Well, I stopped using my old Arc S for a lot of reasons, buggy ICS, to many identical ROMS when it came to stock experience etc etc. Pretty lovely device though, yes, that served my needs with perfection. The Z is the perfect replacement!

I will check your GB / ICS kernel threads in the Arc section and see why u left it supportwise..
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Evo_Coder:

Simple gpu governer removed? :confused:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] killgrozrism:
Hey doom, thank you so much for your hard work developing this kernel for us... After flashing v16, my WiFi didn't work... Don't have this problem in v15new, I've done all that u said bout clearing data for overclocking apps b4 flashing the new kernel... Just reporting back to you... Love ur work... :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] MrMmmkay:
And again, problems with photos on the external SD (Fat32) in album, see screenshot.

I just realised that there are no existing photos "damaged", there are just a bunch of new broken photos in album, when I delete them there are back after a reboot, on v15 there was not such a problem (but on v14).

Any ideas?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Haldi4803:
So i've been running v14 for two days with 192-1242 intelliplug, ecomode, intellideman, ROW, undervoltet. And had no crashes nor reboot!

Time to update to v16. :)

If you have problems a clean Rom install (wipe all and everything) might always help!

P.s this time I'm gonna wipe Appdata, uninstall all OC tools and install kernel then xD

P.p.S What about Cpu Hotplug? Improved decisions? Or intelliplug?

Edit: cannot chose simple GPU governor via Faux app! This worked before on v14(or13...)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] beni8978:
no problems for me on v16

C6603 ?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] MrMmmkay:
With Fat32 formatted SD card?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
thats odd its enabled in the defconfig:

https://github.com/DooMLoRD/android..._jb-4.2/arch/arm/configs/yuga_defconfig#L2721

will have to investigate a bit... thanks for reporting this...

hi mate just tested flashing between v15-new & v16... wifi is working fine..

can u please provide me a fresh dmesg output when device is booted with v16 and you enable wifi?

adb shell "su -c 'dmesg'" > dmesg.log

i have tested on FAT32 and it working well mate...
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] MrMmmkay:
Looks like the problem is only on files with special characters like äöüß (these characters are shown up as ? Or as Chinese symbols), I can't open these files when I am on v16, even file explorer can't open these files. Folders with this characters are shown as empty. On v15 everything is fine.

Also ES file explorer won't recognize the external SD as a volume, just as a shortcut.

Something looks really odd :(.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
well nls utf8 support is there in kernel so this shouldnt be a problem...

in my test the stock ROM didnt natively mount the sdcard even if the exfat modules are preloaded... so I have to force a mount using:

busybox mount -o uid=1000,gid=1015,umask=000 -t auto /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /storage/removable/sdcard1

that could be one of the reasons why these apps dont recognize it correctly

is there a mount parameter which specifies the NLS format to use?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] zyxel25:
dont have any problem on v16, my sd card is formatted to exFAT thanks doom :D.

any recommended settings for the latest version?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
here are the recommended settings from faux himself!

(some features are not present in this kernel but you get the idea)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Dsteppa:
Should that be On or Off?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
depends on your testing and stability for your device
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] MrMmmkay:
Ok, so that means that people with native utf8 "language" will have problems with that kernel? Any idea how to solve that? Anybody else from Germany here that can confirm my problem?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
and so it begins!

initial test of DooMKernel on Xperia Z1 :)

thanks to testers!

waiting for the Z1 to release here in India

hope to see some of you in the Xperia Z1 forums too!

hi mate just tested flashing between v15-new & v16... wifi is working fine..

can u please provide me a fresh dmesg output when device is booted with v16 and you enable wifi?

Where can I get those files? Sorry for my noob question...

And I'm a bit jealous to know that u'll going to Z1, damn that phone melts my heart! Huhu!

i have tested on FAT32 and it working well mate...[/QUOTE]
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] beni8978:
camera functionality is broken because of the unlocked bootloader on the Z1 ?

C6603 ?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
yes unfortunately as of now BACK camera doesnt work on Z1 after unlocking bootloader... only way to get it back to work is to relock bootloader by restoring TA...

so take TA backup before you unlock bootloader on Z1 !
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] doctor78SI:
can someone pls write best settings for battery life? the 16th version is getting high cpu temperatures?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] ihringer:
Same here - German special characters in directory names appear as Chinese, directories as empty. Going back to stock kernel.
