So far so good..

Guys this bug seems to go unnoticed ......cant apply 1188 mhz freq and few others

[Sony Xperia L] vuk030:
Can anyone post an antutu benchmark of the latest thunderzap?

I got barely 10 500 +... when i overclock it actuly kinda lags for me and goes upwards down.

Games are laggy and actuly it seems like it doesnt recognize when i OC abow 1.0...

Doesn't give me performance boost at all...

The only positive thing i got from it is the incredible battery backup. Over 16 hours + with heavy usage. 6 hours gaming.....

When i OC it to 1.6 and run antutu it goes from around 9800 (min) to 11 900 (max) .... just like regular 1 ghz of xperia (kinda even lower then regular stock benchmark of it)

Now i didn't had this problem on start.

With the early releases of nightlies...

Thunderzap 1.6 and nightly (26 or 27 i think..... below august ones) was working just fine.

It was performance and battery wise boost.... It was amazing.

But now something happend and no matter what i try. (whipe cache,reset,go back to early versions of rom and tz) i still encounter this problem.

Now....on stock CM (im on cyanogen) CAF kernel which is 1188 set to run on start i got an amazing performance....BUT again another new incoming problem.

The battery is draining twice then normal.

From stock CM kernel i got like 14400 on antutu and outstanding performances in gaming and daily usage but again like i said it only last for few hours.

(Played Clash of clans with SetCPU on 512 mgz MAX and still eated my battery for 50% in like 1 hour or something)

I tried setting custom profiles in SetCPU but the problem is still there....

It's getting really frustrating because i don't know what's the problem.

Now running latest nightly (06) and TZ 4.6 r2 and same thing is happening.

And i tried testing the antutu with raising and lowering cpu clock speed.

From CM CAF kernel i got 13 500 even with like 512mhz.... and like i said about 14 500 on 1188mhz.

And on Thunderzap i got 9800 min and 11 800 max with 1026mhz.

When i OC to 1.6 i actuly have gotten worse performance.

Around 9750 to 10406...

Im i the only one with this problem?

Can anyone help me?

PS: sorry for my bad english....
[Sony Xperia L] sherry_94:
Man i dont know whats wrong eith 4.6 versuon.....doesnt perfprm well....i use carbon rom.....the stock kernel works fine...try using that
[Sony Xperia L] taylan08:
Deep sleep not work me :(
[Sony Xperia L] david makarove:

i don't know why i face a lot of performance problems with TZ

So now i use stock kernel and it's super smooth on games and runtime

Maybe v4.7 will have surprise for us (hope that ) :)

[Sony Xperia L] Captain_Hungary:
Probably google services if you haven't installed any ****ware. :)

Try wiping data of google related apps and dalvik cache. Disable location services and if the bug is still there, switch to another gapps pack (micro is best).

And almost forgot it. Ask questions in Q/A.

Check this out its v1.1 on cm11, tz4.6r2 . when keyboard moves up the app is not adjusting and the values space is single digit display, I can't see Wht exact value I put or accidentally I put.
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
Hi,

You need to use default CM theme, the app doesn't adjust itself dynamically yet and its dimensions are fixed and tested against stock default theme which is why this problem occurs.

I have fixed this issue in upcoming major update of the app.

Speaker blown?

Well the story is wierd. I plugged my phone to my cars aux with a cable jack to jack. I listened to some music everything was fine. Then I disconnected the cable from radio but not the phone. I put my phone with the cable to my pocket. It stayed there for a while. My girl called me I didn't hear it because the cable was in. After a while I took the cable off. After this my speaker was acting strange. It didn't work. My headphones worked allright thorugh aux but the speaker didn't. Then after a while it worked again. I was happy but then it stopped working. I rebooted the phone. Uf it works, well it worked for 2 seconds and it stopped. Didn't look like a hardware issue so I restored my backup. Speaker still didn't work. I formated /system and installed clear CM11 with nothing on it. Speaker doesn't work. Well now I don't know what to do. Repair the speaker? It did look like a software problem. I had TZ 4.6 installed with defualt speaker boost.

Don't really want to go back to 4.2.2 to check so maybe there is a way to debug it here.
[Sony Xperia L] sherry_94:
Phone still thinks that ur headphones are plugged in.....happened with me when i spilled a lil bit of curd in my headphone jack....the aux cable jack was probably cheapish....and it messed with ur headphone pins....
[Sony Xperia L] fatino:
Is there a way to check if system thinks that headphones are plugged in?

YOU ARE GENIUS. Thanks it worked. I got my speaker back. :)

But it would be pretty useful if I could change it manually just in case it stops working again.
[Sony Xperia L] sherry_94:
Its all hardware based..

There are 4 pins : Right , Left , Ground and mic.......ur aux cable does nt use mic.....right/left is connected with speaker along with ground.....thats how phone "detects"

...i m sure it can b over ridden with software but i dont know how, but its not really a solution....get ur jack checked

There was app/widget called headset toggle. U simply pit IT on homescreen and is IT to toggle speaker or headset

Can anyone confirm if this kernel has CIFS modules included?

I saw the OP for its features but it mentions nothing relevant.

EDIT: Please disregard , I found in a later changelog that it includes.

[Sony Xperia L] fatino:
This device's forum has the worst organisation I've seen on xda. I mean the tab says DISCUSSION. OP doesn't state anywhere that this is dev tab. You have to go to Q&A tab to find out there's discussion and beta reports. Yep really clear. If you have to dig around to find out where to post, the system is wrong not the person posting..

Idk make some restrictions in dev tab, allow only some users who ask for permission because they are involved in development

TL:DR People aren't stupid, the system is.

Hi,

Need help,

i flashed this Kernel, and not phone us not booting up...

Xperia L

4.2.2

rooted CWM installed Bootloader Locked
[Sony Xperia L] Captain_Hungary:
If you have read the op, you would know, that this kernel is for kitkat not for jb, and thus an unlocked Bootloader is a must...

Flash stock firmware with flashtool, unlock your bootloader, install a kk rom and then flash this kernel again from recovery.

Also this is NOT q/a section, so next time ask your question there.

Hehe,nice man.A custom kernel will really improve our device.can you give us a list of some new features? Can't wait!
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
The next iteration of the kernel will be released by 26 Nov

Till then I am locking the thread :)
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
Ok its time to make some announcements :)

As planned I have finished the work of kernel completely. But yesterday I had faced some instabilities with a feature which I fixed immediately now its quite stable for me.

But that incident reminded me of the situation when TZ 2.0 was released where some users faced phone freezes whose ultimate cause was insufficient & incorrect voltages.

So in order to avoid such situations with this super-major release I wish to carry out some private beta tests with 4-5 users before I make the release official. Unless all those testers don't give me a green signal indicating stabilty after complete one day usage it won't make any sense to release the kernel since that would be a buggy release.

So whoever is interested(only first four) could pm me and they will have the package.

Secondly, I will be also updating CWM to 6.0.4.5 in v3.1 which will be within 1-2 days after v3.0 release. For now the CWM is as before which is 6.0.3.5

Features of v3.0 will be described when I release the final version as I am unwilling to write a big post right now :p

Edit: Private beta closed. Tester limit reached
[Sony Xperia L] naitik2012:
Nice to see you back in development Varun :)

Thanks
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
Woah can't wait :)
[Sony Xperia L] Mitsos_The_Great:
There is nothing new?
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
The kernel is being tested for bugs. Once it has been confirmed that its bug free it should be released. Then about 2 days later he'll release it with the latest version of cwm :)
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
Alright, its update time after an interval of 3 months! :)

The kernel has all the features of v2.0. Adding to that below is the changelog

*. Upgraded sources to 3.4.15 with 1300+ new changes - Upstream is 3.4.70 currently. I will be doing it step-by-step!

*. Ditched Intelli_plug, replaced by new auto_hotplug which works automatically based on system load - Auto_hotplug>>Intelli_plug>mpdecision!

*. Ditched Intellidemand - Stock ondemand works much better than this

*. Ditched Simple GPU governor - Stock ondemand works better

*. Introducing PMICXXXX-Vibrator Intensity Control

*. Reduced Log-buffer shift

*. Enabled Memory Compaction

*. Disabled Debug masks for some modules

*. Optimized mount flags

*. Converted unused drivers into modules

*. New SMP patches from Linux Kernel 3.5

*. Optimized square rooting algorithm

*. Disabled MSM_DCVS

*. CIFS, EXT2, NTFS, NLS_UTF8, PS3-Controller, TUN as modules

*. Optimized LMK values.

The 3.4.15 upgrade is the largest change in this kernel. The new memory management and other patches have improved the overall behavior of the kernel. Have a look at the github in order know the number of changes.

[Sony Xperia L] EternalXDA:
Hi everyone.

I have 3 questions.

1. I don't have the option to turn on the Intelli_Plug in TricksterMod app. ( I can only turn off the mpdecision..) (I also don't have Eco Mode option) what should I do to fix this?

2. Should I done anything prior to re-flashing this kernel or just flash the zip file again is enough?

3. Is there a guidance, tutorial or something on how to get the most out of this kernel?

Thanks to Varun for his awesome work. battry saving is noticebly improved.:good:

hope you guys help me to make it even better :victory:
[Sony Xperia L] Captain_Hungary:
1. Intelli-thermal is enabled by default (you can choose it's trigger values during the installation) and it's settings can be found in trickster mod under gpu settings. Echo-mode was removed in earlier builds.

And disabling mpdecision might give you a bit more performance at the cost of extra energy and heat. (so personally I don't suggest it)

2. Flash the zip after installation, but only if you haven't done it already.

3. What is the "most" for you? :D Battery backup? Performance? Balance? (btw I use smartmax gov. on 1.4 ghz with bfq sched. -> balance)

Guide is in OP.

4. Next time post your question in Q/A.
[Sony Xperia L] Captain_Hungary:
Absolutely worth it :D smartmax gives a great balance between battery and performance. And performance is great in this version. Can't wait to see what v5 will bring to us. :D

Thanks varun for this awesome kernel.
[Sony Xperia L] EternalXDA:
1. but they say it's a good thing for battery backup to have intelli-plug enabled instead of mpdecision... :confused:

during the installation i just agreed to recommended settings so i don't remeber exactly what I did then :D

By the way, "Intelli-plug" and "Intelli-thermal", are these same thing or they're 2 diffrent things? :cyclops:

one of the reasons I want to disable mpdecision is that sometimes my frequncy keep changing to 1Ghz (even if I use "lock frequncy" option).

2. Say I already flashed ThunderZap into my phone and I'm using it right now. what should I do if I want to re-flash it again?

should I flash CM kernel first and flash TZ after that? or... [Low english!]

3. the "most" for me is the battery backup. I'm not a gamer and I don't want to use my phone as a television! I just do my things with regular apps.. you know. so I think maybe a "Balance" config would be ok for me.

4. Sure. after finishing this one. :o
