Sooo, I'm done....

Flashed doomkernel v7 and ANOTHER .253 rom (with full root;this time not NUTs ROM; no Data etc. wiped). I tried all kinds of flash methods (manual, CWM, TW__) for v7 and it still froze during the animation.

I also tried pressing long power+vol up every time it failed, so that it will vibrate three times: also no effect. Flashed v6 back: all works fine.

(STRANGE PART=)

Then I flashed STOCK.253 with flashtool (no data, cache, appslog wipe, I didn't exclude kernel so the original kernel should be installed and I guess it was, as no doomkernel-logo appeared at boot)

AND I DIDN'T FLASH v7 YET: still freezing during the animation, sooo some of my apps/cache/appslog or something else seemed to break the boot.

Then I flashed v7 with fastboot to see if the reboots stops: still there.Then I flashed v7 with CWM: still freezing and rebooting... More currious:almost loosing faith I flashed v6 (with CWM) and everything worked fine and booted without issues!

So somehow my phone didn't even boot with standard .253 kernel (if it was included in the STOCK .253...I'm no developer) and it also didn't with doomkernel v7, but it did boot with v6... wtf?!

(/STRANGE PART)

Now my question, if you want me to continue testing:

Will I loose any kind of data or something important if I flash stock .253 AGAIN ontop of my current stock rooted .253 but this time with wiping CACHE and APPSLOG?!

I could also wipe DATA if you guys could tell me if the backup I made with CWM will restore everything as it was.

Else I won't wipe data/cache/appslog, sorry...I loose 2-3 days for reinstalling everything, configuring about 50-60 apps, adding files, downloading, ...

To sum it up: currently my BL-unlocked phone is back on doomkernel v6 with stock .253 (rooted with CWM), and NOT anymore on NUTs Rom but v7 still reboots at screen animation.

Conclusion: the freezing might not be an issue with NUTs ROM, but something related to the changes in v7 or my data/cache/appslog... but whatever it is: v6 resolves it somehow

Edit:

Now I also tried to wipe cache partition and dalvik-cache and flash doomkernel v7: still freezing, although I have stock .253 (rooted with cwm) with doomkernel v6. Flashed back v6 and everythings working fine.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Dsteppa:
You will lose everything, if you have any documents/pictures/videos etc only save those. Apps can always be restored.

It's best to start with a clean sheet. If you have an external Sd-card, remove that just in case.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] gm007:
1-Flash stock 253 with wipe but only exclude data,boot your phone and all the data will remain even photos......

2-Don't root your phone.

3-After that flash v7 with fastboot and done.

can i flash this kernel v7 over Advance Stock Kernel with Recovery v05 (FW: 10.1.1.A.1.253) ? Will i loose CWM?

Thanks
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
yes u can flash it over my other kernel...

no u will not lose recovery, rather u will get one additional recovery CWM + TWRP ;)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] sea2605:
But as I wrote: Even after flashing stock .253 ** it froze and rebooted! Only flashing v6 manually with fastboot helped (don't ask me why!).

You think wiping cache+appslog when flashing stock .253 will make a difference? Maybe...i'll try tomorrow and report.

**=(without root, without doomkernel, flash with latest flashtool, no data/cache/appslog wipe).
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
sorry mate no idea what is causing the issue for u...

try if u can enter recovery after flashing kernel...

if u can pull the /proc/last_kmsg using adb and post it here... may be something is crashing...
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] sea2605:
I'd love to send that to you, but could you tell me what to do exactly? Or send me a link to instructions please
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Flash the kernel via fastboot

If it starts hanging at any place wait for a while and the initiate a hard reboot

When device restarts at bootlogo/splash screen keep pressing VOLUME UP key to enter into recovery

Connect device to pc via USB

Execute the following in adb:

adb pull /proc/last_kmsg .

Upload that last_kmsg file
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] *boy*racer*:
Hey. Don't know if this is kernel related. I used the wipe feature in TWRP recovery to just wipe the data then pressed reboot. Then suddenly it bricked. Only red flashing light when plugged in and one vibrate when trying to power on.

So I flashed the firmware again with flashtools then fastboot kernel and restored my backup. Rebooted and bricked again :confused:

Why does it keep bricking my phone? I was using V7 for my backup and restored with V6

Thanks
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] -Zork-:
Great, flashed with fastboot and very very easy.

Now with CWM + TWRP :good:

flash it and see......
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] mmamedov:
1. How can I use Stamina Mode with this mode? I can't turn it on

2. I can't use root for first 5-10 seconds after reboot. How can I fix this problem?

3. Every time when I'm turning phone on cpu is in 1.944GHz.. How can I change it?

4. What is best settings for saving battery?

I am using DoomKernel v07 on 253 firmware and have Unlocked bootloader
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] G1_enthusiast:
1.not kernel issue, reflash rom

2.reflash rom

3.use trickster or faux clock apps

4. undervolt -100 and set max cpu to 1242000

Today my phone became a bit laggy until I rebooted. Did anyone experience the same? Installed Greenify, maybe it helps. Otherwise, could logs help if it happens again?

Other than that absolute no issues with -100mv uv :good:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] G1_enthusiast:
what rom are you using? I am using NIABOC rom and absolutely no lag same setting as your UV
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] californicated:

---------- Post added at 01:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 AM ----------

why do you go 2 days without reboot? just curious...u can download an auto reboot app to do it for u, keep the ram clean
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] [NUT]:
Why reboot daily when you have 2GB ram to polute :confused:

When not testing stuff I can go on for weeks on end without rebooting, no lag and no problems for me :rolleyes:

Besides, cleaning ram also means some apps take way longer to start because the in-memory cache has been cleared. Google specifically created that feature to speed up the app start-ups, by rebooting you nullify that feature...

By installing an app that does so on a ram deprived phone (like the 2011 XPERIA line) would make sense... But to do it on the Z/ZL? :confused:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] G1_enthusiast:
really? you cant wait 1 second longer? man you must be some important billionaire.

FYI, I open my app just as fast if I rebooted my system, I dont have a stop watch with me whenever I do it but I dont times it or count the milisecond it takes either. The only slow thing is the camera which takes noticeably longer the first time opening.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!

fixed loading of custom built wifi module on custom kernel!

now i can add a bunch of features without breaking wifi :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] [NUT]:
Especially when you are a gamer, the real 3D games start up much faster the second time you start them, if they are programmed correctly to use the caching available. There are more apps like the camera app which also take noticeably longer to start the first time, and I have more then one installed (media apps, for reading my favorite news feeds).

I'm no billionaire, though I'd wish I was, but I hate slow loading apps, period.

A full wipe helped! :) yeah!!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] G1_enthusiast:
wth...random post of the day.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] sea2605:
Should have mentioned that I had a problem which only occurred with v7: freezing at boot (always).

no flash-method helped, wanted to keep my data untouched so tried several other stock and custom roms, manual and all kinds of flashtool flashes of roms and kernel, zip flashes, cache partition format, dalvik format, different recovery, rooted/not rooted .....

All resulted in the same bootloop but only with doomkernel v7. Flashing Doomkernel v6 ALWAYS solved this freezing... So somehow something in my data or some app/file did interfere with v7...

At last: A full wipe helped. A 16 gb sd and Titanium backup helped with restoring 2/3 of everything
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] dyepnoodle:
i just got my XZ and updated it to .253 not knowing that it needed to be downgraded to be rooted. If i install this kernel will i have root and cwm just like his kernel on previous xperia devices? TIA

And if i relock the bootloader and flash a stock kernel will that bring BE2 back just like it did on the 2012 xperia phones?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Bioschnitzel:
The only way to keep BE2 is to copy the TA-Partition from your phone BEFORE you unlocking your bootloader. If you already unlocked your bootloader, your DRM Keys and BE2 are gone forever.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] dyepnoodle:
Ok so relocking wont bring BE2 back, how can i backup or copy TA-partition? If there's a thread for this can u please share it.thanks!!

That's why -->

But I might try a custom rom one day. For now the lags didn't come back again, so there is no need to do so. A good kernel like DooMKernel is way more important for me as i can debloat the stock rom by myself.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
@users having the "CPU jumping 1.9GHz" issues

the kernel will ALWAYS boot at max CPU clock of 1.5GHz...

one user contacted me over p.m. that he observed the issue to occur when he flash the "PureXAudio" mod by [MENTION=4388232]ZeroInfinity[/MENTION] ... i investigated the update.zip and this is what i found:

check out the file: /system/etc/init.d/S99xperia_screenstate_scaling

.
.
.
# ==============================================================
# ==============================================================
# beginning of the screenstate-scaling loop
# ==============================================================
# ==============================================================

min_freq=`cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_min_freq`;
[B][I]max_freq=`cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq`;[/I][/B]
.
.
.
AWAKE=`cat /sys/power/wait_for_fb_wake`;
if [ $AWAKE = "awake" ]; then

# ==============================================================
# limiting the max/min frequencies
# ==============================================================
# =========
# set maximum & minimum frequency to 1000 & 200 MHz (1 GHz)
# =========
echo $min_freq > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq;
[B][I]echo $max_freq > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq;[/I][/B]
.
.
.

i pitty the users who blindly flash such files...

the author of this "MOD"/script doesnt know that its not a good idea to pull highest possible frequency from kernel cpuinfo_max_freq and then apply it to current scaling policy scaling_max_freq...

here is an explanation of what is wrong:

this stupid script checks what is the maximum supported CPU frequency:

max_freq=`cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq`;

(which on my kernel is 1.9GHz)

and then when the screen is awake it changes ur current CPU scaling profile MAX frequency to that value:

echo $max_freq > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq;

(which overrides the default policy of 1.5GHz set by my kernel)

so now ur current CPU scaling policy becomes: Min: 192MHz & Max: 1.9GHz!

as i have been saying again and again if u keep flashing such stupid/copy-pasted scripts then dont blame me if ur device heats up/bricks...

now i dont know which other "mods"/scripts are floating around in custom ROMs... but i advise users to find such scripts/mods in /system/etc/init.d folder and DELETE THEM!

P.S.:

what is a CPU scaling script doing in an AUDIO mod? :confused::confused:

DooMLoRD

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] m0b:
DooMLoRD, can you implement 2-way call recording kernel patch for skvalex CallRecorder in your kernel? Call recorder works almost fine on stock, but sometimes it is not compatible with some sound mods and there is other small issues.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] wawyed:
Obviously with a non released version.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
That patch is for older devices/kernel...

I don't think it's needed on our devices
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] californicated:
After taking the phone off the docking station the homescreen became slightly laggy again. I thought it might be Nova Launcher's fault, but it's the same with the stock launcher and Apex.

EDIT: Changing governor and scheduler doesn't help. When scrolling up and down in trickster mod it shows core 0 to go up to 1,5ghz, other cores stay inactive (normal or not?). Lags are getting worse.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Thraxzzz:
No wonder my device is always max 1944 min 194 ,stupid scripts :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] bertini:
I just flashed this, and my phone is completely dead :(

I had v06 before.

I had rooted stock .253

I flashed this, my phone restarted a couple times and now, It doesnt charge, doesnt boot up. Pressing buttons wont help (even the sudden death combination).

I left it charging for a couple of hours... Nothing.

The only thing is, if i'm charging it, and press all three buttons, the led (in red) will blink once.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Flashtool detects the phone as in flashmode, and I tried flashing a stock FTF, but when "reading device info", the flashing process stops as the phone disconnects.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] m0b:
Maybe, but CallRecorder kernel method doesn't work.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Windows X:
Stupid script? Allow me to elaborate something :)

1. That screenstate script is for increasing battery-life by locking maximum frequency to lowest possible during screen off with some off-screen optimizations for bettery battery-life.

2. I used to use scaling value instead of cpuinfo ones during Xperia P days but some people PMed me it always reset their OC so I changed to cpuinfo instead as most OC kernels will have about 10-20% boost so OC lovers won't bug me anymore.

3. I did test this script with DooMKernel for a while and it worked fine so far with me so I didn't bother much about it. But some other ROMs using PureXAudio might be another story because I did test on my own ROM not those.

It's not DooMLorD's fault for making high OC kernel like 30% boost as he did put his safe values for scaling ones though I didn't see much doing high OC like that personally. But it's also not my fault for writing script like that as from my own use for months with stock ROM flashing DooMKernel and mine proved me nothing wrong so far. If something went nuts with my phone running 1.9GHz, I'd have it solved already myself but it worked fine with games/movies/music/web browsing/etc.

If I were to put stupidity into use, it'd be user flashing stuff blindly without checking things through and blame developers for their irresponsibilities. Though my ROM have no issue with DooMKernel from my own experiences but I'll change back to scaling ones instead in next version hoping things won't go bizzare with high OC kernel.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
u have done a blind copy-paste... if u actually read the script this is flicked from some OMAP device which has (expected) min freq of 200Mhz and max freq of 1000Mhz...

also the weird part is that this is included in an audio mod!?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Windows X:
Dude, I didn't make PureXAudio. I didn't copy/paste that as I wrote myself based on Thunderbolt script used in my own ROM. PureXAudio author copied my files into his project trying to solve stuttering problems. It's understandable for why he didn't check all that as it's not his fields in writing OS optimizations script like I did for mine.

The reason why I left cpuinfo_max_freq is it worked fine with DooMKernel for months with my ROM so I didn't bother to solve it until someone using other customized ROM flashing PureXAudio having my files to get this trouble. And now I have to fix this mess as people started accusing my tweaks with biases though it did nothing wrong with my ROM and my phone. You get my drift?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] DooMLoRD:
ok cool... i dont want to accuse anyone but then this sort of copy-paste should be avoided... saves a LOT of people a ton of pain...

Once a while, somethings ****s like happens to me when I stuck a bootlogo, In my case the phones alive.

Try to flash only kernel from .ftf or try a new .ftf differ from ur prrvious one..

But the first one will work as if u're saying that led working as red when press combination of buttons, that means ur kernel is missing from phone!!

Try to reflash kernel of flash a stock one!!

Not so sure bout success, but might trying this one cud makes ur Heat Beat Normal like when my fone used to become dead at that time!!!
