i'll wait for the next update then test this ROM then combo with Fidelity Z 5.0( hopefully you update this as well) then i'll feel the awesomeness. :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] Carphedon:
I did not flash Fidelity Z, I always use plain CM but i love the linaro optimalizations, makes a big difference. How is the update coming along?

Thanks for your work
[Xperia Z Android Development] Windows X:
I tried to fix jeroenqui's cherry-pick problems after SELinux updates. Too bad, it all went in vain. Now I have 3 choices.

1. Cherry-pick only remaining features. This will still contain DooMKernel tweaks by jeroenqui but Row will be missing as some of them included in defconfig commits.

2. Change kernel repository to forked ones from jeroenqui instead. It won't be so up-to-date during compile time but jeroenqui may update this from time to time.

3. Forget tweaks, stick with Linaro optimized pure CM kernel.

I'm deciding which choice to build for next release right now.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Carphedon:
You could release rom separate from kernel. Optimize CM with linaro and keep it up to date and release updated kernel separate from rom once problems work out.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Windows X:
ROM build 20130721 released. It's been a week since CM hits version 10.1.2 and I've been waiting for a while until jeroenqui fixes his kernel problems. However, it's going to be a long while so I'll release one for default CM kernel with Linaro and audio tweaks instead.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Carphedon:
Awsome, thanks very much, will flash later today!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Carphedon:
Flashed the update and after a few days with new version i can say it's not as smooth as the version with the kernel tweaks, there is somewhat more lag and apps open a bit slower. The battery life is better though, in previous version battery was empty in about a day, lots of drain even when screen was off. Now i am at 1 day and 10 hours and i still have 45 percent left, very good.

Looking forward to next update. Thanks for your work.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Windows X:
It appeared that I accidently commented out kernel O3 optimizations along with jeroenqui patches from my own script so that's why it's slower. I'm gonna try CM10.2 nightlies and see if it's working.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Windows X:
This should probably be my last ROM until CM10.2 ships out. I fixed forgetting to apply O3 optimizations for kernel and also re-applied 44.1KHz sampling rate without breaking bluetooth audio. I also updated Linaro toolchain 4.8 to version 13.06 and added Xperia Tablet Z ROM as well.

Awesome Thanks a lot! :o I read in Android 4.3 are Sound Quality improvements... Will we hear any diffrence with CM 10.2?:fingers-crossed: and are you Updating Fidelity in the next time? Sorry for offtopic :x

[Xperia Z Android Development] pvtien7:
how i install CM10.1 kernel before install this rom ??? thanks!!!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alhaddad:
thanks

would you at least update the kernel, if there's any major update till CM 10.2 get released?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Windows X:
Well, CM kernel updated Xperia Z ROM last week and I thought CM10.1 would be frozen for a while and moved to CM10.2. Guess I'd compile some updates tomorrow :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Windows X:
Read from CM news, CM10.2 should arrive in days not week so I guess I'll wait for CM10.2 for next update as originally planned. Right now I'm using CM10.2 build but not with strict aliasing and some Linaro optimizations. I found some glitches here and there so I'll wait until official CM10.2 rolls out.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Alhaddad:
fantastic.. will we see the 192mhz frequency? :silly:
[Xperia Z Android Development] Windows X:
That depends on jeroenqui. Since he's already doing fine work with kernel tweaks so I don't want to reinvent the same stuff. ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Windows X:
After CM10.2 nightlies was sent out yesterday, I've been recompiling and fixing the ROM with strict aliasing right now hoping to finish it before going to sleep. This will be first Linaro O3 with strict-aliasing CM10.2 ROM for Xperia Z so hope to see the smoothest 4.3 experiences soon. Well, my current phone running CM10.2 Linaro -O3 is smooth enough already though ;)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Windows X:
After long struggle with fixing Linaro toolchain and stuff, I finally managed to make Linaro o3 strict aliasing ROM. WIll post updates soon.
[Xperia Z Android Development] jeroenqui:
Congratulations man! Your work is much appreciated!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Windows X:
CM10.2 ROM released. Here's changelog below

-Applied Meow Kernel optimizations

-Updated Cyanogenmod 10.2 ROM

-Updated Linaro 4.8 toolchain to version 13.08

-Updated TWRP to 2.7 branch

Hi,

great work so far. I would like to swap to CWM instead of TWRP (just dont like it). Is there any chance to get this done without destroying the kernel?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Windows X:
This is stock CM10.2 environment so you'll need some apps or mods to do that.

You can do that by flashing CWM recovery with this command:

'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'
[Xperia Z Android Development] Windows X:
CM10.2 made another significant update having Focal removed and Xperia Z/Tablet Z source merged with new Sony code so I’m building a new ones again. This time Meow Kernel is synced directly with new tweaks and I also added Xperia Tablet Z (Wi-Fi) support with some fixes that has yet to be updated in main CM branch.

This is clearly a problem that needs a confirmed resolution, I have it too. And pointing it out is constructive criticism. Now why doesn't it read the SD card and how to make it do so? With and without a computer.

[Xperia Z Android Development] Windows X:
For TWRP bug it seems new Linaro with NDK caused it. I'll try 13.09 and see if it solves anything with current CM10.2.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Windows X:
Alright, major upgrade for Linaro having both arm/linux toolchains and NDK with some bug fixes and enhancements. Here's the current changes so far.

-Fixed A2DP audio devices like bluetooth not working properly

-Fixed partition bugs in TWRP

-Full Linaro optimizations with both arm/linux toolchains and NDK

-Improved Alsa audio optimizations

-Improved compiler flags optimizations with Linaro Toolchain 4.8

-Updated Linaro components to version 13.09

Hope to compile them when I have time soon.
[Xperia Z Android Development] c0llal0:
Hey, good news!

Will u release a new build for Tablet Z too?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Windows X:
New build released. This is a big update for Linaro optimizations. Back then I used only Linaro toolchain 4.8 for arm alone as CM10.2 is hardly stable and needs new changes to be applied almost every build. Now it’s quite stable enough to consider going to further steps by using both arm/linux toolchains and also its own NDK for full Linaro experiences. I also fixed TWRP and Bluetooth bugs along with more audio and compiler flags optimizations.
[Xperia Z Android Development] achih121:
hi boss, I cant find "Xperia Z: Fidelity Z v6.0"??

I link the file from your signature, but no luck...

Is that going to release soon??
[Xperia Z Android Development] Windows X:
Somehow. Not much changes though but worth it ;)

Couldn't find overclock, if I flash latest meow kernel, will I Ioose any audio optimizations? Also, after installing this and fidelity 5 play store couldn't start, installed a different one and it worked.

Will fidelity 6 contain pureX 21?

Thanks for the work!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Windows X:
Ah. I forgot to add MEOW-kernel lol. Will fix this along with some patches.
[Xperia Z Android Development] KOALAaufPILLEN:
What about more governers and shedulers? Like dancedance was great for xperia s
[Xperia Z Android Development] jpacho89:
Very good ROM!

I have been using it for last month and have no issues. I recommend it, and with the new MeowKernel it works great!

Thanks! I hope you could continue with this ROM, nice work!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Windows X:
Sorry, I forgot to add MEOW-kernel in previous release. Now it’s back with full Linaro optimizations. I’ll be using this for a while as I’ll visit my parents tomorrow until late October.
[Xperia Z Android Development] cfbruck:
Is the kernel really in it? :) I still don't have overclock option, not that i really need it.

I flashed meows kernel over it anyway, but I notice that none of my cores go offline ever, always at 384. Any idea why?

Thanks for your work!
[Xperia Z Android Development] venky716:
Have you installed kernel tuner ?

Then go into cpu setting in KT and go back and exit.

All cores remain online if you press home directly from cpu settings without exiting the app.
[Xperia Z Android Development] cfbruck:
Was actually using trickster, and I haven't noticed that before with that program.

Anyway, switched back to the kernel that came with this, flashing meow afterwards makes you loose some audio improvement.

This kernel does not have any of meows settings though.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Windows X:
I thought I made sure to add MEOW-kernel in before sync and build. Maybe something went wrong with methods I use. I'll check again after i get back in late October.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Carphedon:
After a lot of problems with cyanx back to your rom. It is so smooth! I miss a few things though, mainly that i cannot change the size of the navigation bar, with cyan x i could change the nav bar size on the fly, hope you could implement that to.

Thanks for your work.

* can i flash meowkernel manually or do i miss the linaro optimalizations that way, i can not overclock the device with the included meowkernel edit.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Windows X:
meow kernel is also linaro optimized I think. The only thing that will be lost is audio optimizations I added in my own kernel. I think I forgot to add meow/twrp repo again. Maybe I should repo sync and make a new backup this time.
[Xperia Z Android Development] jpacho89:
Hi Windows X!

Firts of all congratulations for your work, the ROM works really good with the optimizations. I have been using old one for a long time, and after a while I decided to update to last build and it works fantastic. I strongly recommend it!

Only thing I miss is voltage control, with last build I flashed Meow kernel and it appeared in TrickterMod, anyway if I don't lose the optimizations I will flash it again.

Thanks mate!
[Xperia Z Android Development] jpacho89:
I flashed Meow kernel and I noticed in TrickterMod that it is build with linaro gcc 4.7, and I have been suffering some issues with the touchscreen, it doesn't work sometimes when I try to unlock the phone. Now I have flashed your ROM again and it works great, only missing the UV, anyway great job!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Windows X:
I'm back now. Compiling ROMs with MEOW-kernel and latest updates from CM at the moment. ;)

One problem I have though is that the mic doesn't seem to work for some apps like Shazam and Smart Voice Recorder.

It works fine for Google Search or Soundhound, can this be related to ROM specific issues?

[Xperia Z Android Development] Windows X:
Some progress about da ROM.

-It boots now but only with 4.7 toolchain. I tried 4.7 for kernel and 4.8 for ROM but stuck at boot animation so I no 4.8 for now.

-Full Linaro compilations are still intact. We have Linaro NDK, kernel toolchain and ROM toolchain here. :)

-Most commits are from Bernhard Rosenkränzer in SlimSaber repos. Most of his code are actual fix not -fno-strict-aliasing ones. I wrote some own fixes as well for important parts like audio-caf and DSPManager.

-I also added Linaro bionic optimizations commits. Some are even better than cortex string routines.

-MEOW-Kernel and TWRP is in testing right now. Will apply audio patches after everything is done.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Windows X:
Progress report #2

-WiFi broken with Linaro optimizations (Fixed)

-Cellular data not working for most of the time (In progress)

-Unstable audio playback (In progress)

-MEOW-Kernel and TWRP implemented and kicking
[Xperia Z Android Development] Windows X:
Strict-aliasing applied with some bionic/framework Linaro optimizations. For some strange reason, applying strict-aliasing in kernel caused unstable cellular data. Audio latency in CM11 got far worse making low latency optimizations impossible.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Windows X:
CM11 build should be uploaded today. After trying countless combinations of audio buffer optimizations and failed to fix stuttering below 4096, I decided to keep it with optimized large buffer size for time being since we don't know when 4.3 blobs will be implemented in kernel.
[Xperia Z Android Development] dragonnn:
Any progress? For my I don't need any audio improvements, I use your ROM because it have the compiler optimization.

-Fidelity optimizations re-configured for CM11 compatibilities with changes below

|-Increased default buffer size to 4096 to fix stuttering problem

|-Removed start threshold in HAL layer

|-Default sampling rate is set to 44100Hz

|-Reduce number of periods in kernel configuration

I'll update Fidelity Z ROM patch sometimes later with ART optimizations and some fixes with stock ROM.

[Xperia Z Android Development] Windows X:
Try these

1. Make sure to flash latest gapps 2-5 ones.

2. Wipe dalvik cache/cache

3. If you come from CM10.2 or older, you may need to wipe your phone.

4. If stock CM11 works but now this, I have no idea since there're mostly the same except with MEOW-Kernel patches applied.

No need to perform full wipe. Just only dalvik cache/cache needed to be wiped.
