No bad feelings, nor do I want to hurt someones feelings, but benchmarks aren't always representive, why do you need high benchmarks when the phone is smooth and gaming also works just fine?

I really don't get it (actually hate it) when people keep saying benchmarks aren't that high and it's bad. Stock ROM didn't get a lot more, around 15, 16K most of the time because of CPU throthling back because of heating up in XZ during benchmarks..

Benchmarks aren't representive as far as I know. It's just how the software (firmware) is optimized. And besides all this the ANDROID 4.3 ROM IS STILL IN BETA stage!

unlike PCs/laptops where it can do many other things.

Please try to be more detailed..your question is hard to understand.

If youre up to install carbon rom do a factory reset via Clockwerkmod recovery, then wipe cache and dalvik cache.

Then choose install zip from external sd and choose carbon rom.
[Xperia Z Android Development] hadramos:
ok

I'm install CarbonROM 4.2.2 11.7 in fresh Install.

The version of this kernel is bugged. Wipe and backup don't work.

So i install CarbonROM with kernel in version 17/05 but the kernel installed is in of the zip file.

My question is :

Is that I can replace the kernel version 11/07 with the version of 17/05?
[Xperia Z Android Development] hutilicious:
you have to unzip boot.img and flash with flashtool!
[Xperia Z Android Development] hadramos:
you do not understand yet is simple :laugh:

Is what I use the kernel of the ROM 17/05 with the ROM 11/07?

It is clear ? :silly:
[Xperia Z Android Development] Lyechee:
I see that hadramos' english is worse than mine haha

As french, I understood what he means:

He flashed the 11/07 kernel version with flashtool to install the 17/05 rom (or the recovery doesnt work).

But each time, obviously, the installed kernel is the one of the zip, so even if he installed the 17/05 kernel before, it is replaced with the 11/07 one.

His question was, can he use the 11/07 ROM running on a 17/05 kernel by replacing the boot.img in the zip?
[Xperia Z Android Development] hadramos:
yes that's it :)

Hi,

Thank you for your work!

Few issues with the latest release (05.09):

1. The device is restarting once a few hours, something that wasn't happening previously

2. Many apps, including Google+, Goggle photo backup, Camera, etc... are FC. Tried to reinstall with updated Gapps (such as 13.08 version) but still FC...

3. The read speed of large stored files is very slow... Still using ROW I/O as before...

[Xperia Z Android Development] dinuvali:
I realize this must be the googleplexth time someone has asked this, but i haven't yet found a solution:

The android OS battery drain.

I have disabled sync, used autostarts to prevent Maps from autostarting and turned location settings off (in both maps app and os settings). These used to work for this issue on my previous phone (Nexus S)

Now, only if i turn WiFi off (or disconnect from wifi) do i get rid of it. It happened on Carbon 4.2.2 and it's happening now on the 05/09 4.3. BetterBatteryStats used to show a generic wakelock (deleted_wake_locks) as the main source of drain.

Help!

[Xperia Z Android Development] venky716:
Good i got about 4 hours screen on with 20% left.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Destroyedbeauty:
Okey, two more questions..

1. Does Wifi work for you after crossflashing Asylum ROM and Carbon kernel..?

2. What CPU governors and I/O schelduers are included in Carbon kernel?
[Xperia Z Android Development] venky716:
Yes wifi works.

Cpu : intelli demand, wheatley, performance, powersave, conservative, ondemand, interactive .

I/o : row, noop, cfq, deadline.

I've switched to CyanX ROM now so can't say for sure if these are all correct, but most of the major ones are included.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Destroyedbeauty:
How is CyanX ROM battery and performance wise? Which kernel are u on? :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] venky716:
Performance is better than Asylum and any other ROM I've tried.

Its kernel also has a lot of features, like Eco mode (switches off two cores for better battery)

Can't really say anything abt battery since I switched to CyanX only yesterday, so far a tad bit better than asylum.

[Xperia Z Android Development] golfgtiedition30:
For unlocked bootloaders the recovery is part of the kernal. So download the rom zip and extract the boot.img from the zip.

Switch off your phone , then holding volume + plug your phone into your computer. Then fastbootflash the boot.img. fastboot flash boot boot.IMG then fasfboot reboot

You now have recovery so go ahead and do all wipes and flash the rom
