[MENTION=4309448]varun.chitre15[/MENTION]

Please, can you keep kernel v4 working with firmware 15.3.A.0.26?

I had no problems with it and the battery drain with new fw is much higher. For emergency reasons I need my phone running the whole day, so I consider to switch back...

...
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
Fear not. Kernel v4 will stay compatible with .26 firmware because I am too on the same firmware :p
[Sony Xperia L] arjit mehra:
I'm going to give this kernel a shot! Any known bugs , issues or anything i need to do beforehand?
[Sony Xperia L] sherry_94:
Nope...though u ll need to load modules fr wifi

Sent from my Xperia L
[Sony Xperia L] uremytoy:
@up what modules? :D never had any problem with wifi and i havent installed any modules. i think you are mistaking kernels ^^
[Sony Xperia L] sherry_94:
Yeah...i m :D Sorry

Sent from my Xperia L
[Sony Xperia L] HatchetEgg:
You will do with this kernel until you flash the kernel in recovery! :p
[Sony Xperia L] uremytoy:
i flashed first this kernel through flashtool then through recovery. no needed any modules; i dont even see any in the download section
[Sony Xperia L] Chinu9:
Modules are included in the zip. So when you flashed through recovery, modules were automatically flashed.
[Sony Xperia L] arjit mehra:
I was reading the thread and came across some issue with one core maxing and something like that..what's the case?And do tell me the settings of trickster mod to change after i flash it!
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
That issue is only with the Ultra version and negligible. And also it has been removed from v4.0

For recommended settings, everything is already tuned except voltage.

Use the new voltage table I posted few posts ago.
[Sony Xperia L] arjit mehra:
Great!Using it right now..will post my review after some time ;) Thanks!

Waiting for the latest update :)
[Sony Xperia L] uremytoy:
i know it may be rude, but when can we get the info about you updating to 4.0?
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
Hello All!
[Sony Xperia L] ghostzz:
my wifi is not working when i reverted back to stock kernel from this kernel..what to do now?? :|
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
You can either reflash an ftf, or use Phantom kernel v3, with wifi modules :L

Phantom kernel v3 is pure stock I believe, it's just that it includes CWM.
[Sony Xperia L] R.A.B:
Which firmware? 15.3.A.1.12 ???

Flash "Extended Stock Kernel", it's modules via cwm, then flash Stock again...

...
[Sony Xperia L] ghostzz:
then if i revert back to stock..will my wifi work??
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
Maybe? I'm not sure. When I was using a custom kernel I never returned to stock, so I really don't know.

I only flash ftf's then I lose my custom kernel, and get back to the stock kernel, but then everything works fine.
[Sony Xperia L] abel_fidato:
some problem

don't know its with the kernel or not. I am latest deodexed .12 fw. i took a nandroid back on external sd and cwn made two backups. one on internal sd and one on external. after backup i rebooted to system and i got bootloop. Wipeed cache and dalvik but still got bootloop. wiped data,cache and then restored the back up and again bootloop. finally i flashed the ftf to revert

i think the issue is witt cwm someone plz try backup to external.

Kernel is smooth,fast stable and rocking :)
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
I always backup to External SD Card and restore from it too, and I have never had any issue with it.

It must be some other issue which might be causing this. :)
[Sony Xperia L] R.A.B:
I had the same problem with the new firmware: Bootloops after cwm-restore and found the reason. That happened every time after I activated the "Viper"-soundmod and installed the necessary driver...

...
[Sony Xperia L] abel_fidato:
Even i have installed viper.So you saying that those who have installed viper4android is getting bootloops after taking a nandroid backup?? I want to check it after removing viper.But i don't have a lappy now to use flashtool to flash ftf i am not trying it
[Sony Xperia L] R.A.B:
You don't have to flash again. Make cwm-restore, you can clean cache and dalvik, don't enable Viper. But I love this sound. That's one of the reasons I went back to fw 0.26...

Btw: after switching back to 0.26 I also got a bootloop for only one time. Now I can restore both firmwares with Viper running without any problems. Don't ask me why... ;)

...
[Sony Xperia L] sherry_94:
In Last two frequencies, the given voltages are not available in trickster mod... Why. ???

And set on boot option isn't there??? is there a pro version of trickster mod???

Whats ideal cpu temperature.. ??? mine is 47 degree.... Abnormal???
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
It is because you are using lite version of ThunderZap.

47 degrees is normal for CPU.

For CPU

Anything > 55 is abnormal

For Battery

Anything > 50 is abnormal.
[Sony Xperia L] sherry_94:
I m using ultra version

Just the last two frequencies don't have ur given voltage....rest all frequencies are there.....this screenwriter shows what as close I can get to ur frequencies
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
Oic, I mistook you. That is because your current value is 1121000.The trickstermod values jump with intervals of 12500

So the value you are seeing must be 1121000-12500=1108500 right? To obtain the value I have specified execute the following command in terminal emulator or adb shell

In terminal type

su

grant superuser permissions followed by

echo "1566000 1115000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/vdd_table/vdd_levels

Follow same for rest of the frequencies you have issue with by replacing first parameter by frequency and second one by corresponding voltage value

And Set On Boot is available in Trickstermod. Just swipe from right side of screen and check 'Kernel Settings' under Set On Boot section.

Hope that helps
[Sony Xperia L] sherry_94:
Thank Bro...I ll try that....found the set on boot option too. :)

---------- Post added at 08:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 PM ----------

While setting values through, I got two reboots....then I underclocked and then set the values...now fine

I ve a query. The lowest frequency is 384 mhz....is lower freq than this possible.??? to save battery.... My tipo used to be on 122 mhz

...and wat about conservative governer
[Sony Xperia L] aleksander002:
I have this problem too.. But I don't have installed Viper4Android... I was tried to install ported Samsung Touchwizz Launcher. Before that, i made NANDroid backup. After flashing I got a bootloop. Tried wipe Cache/Dalvik-cache, but it didn't work. System was booted when i wiped Data/Factory reset. I'm running 15.3.A.1.12 Stock(Deodexed).

I'm sorry if I wrote something incorrectly in English.:rolleyes:

Time for Teaser #2

Presenting ThunderSonic Engine. A sound control driver for Sony Xperia L written by me!

I have been working on this since v3.0 release! And I now happy to announce that it is ready for usage in v4.0!!

More details on this during release and no questions will be answered about this ;)

Much more stuff to come! :D so Hang On!!
[Sony Xperia L] HatchetEgg:
Awesome looking forward to the next update!

Your kernel is the only kernel I know that is packed with features! I recommend anyone with an xperia L to try your kernel! As long as the got a bit of courage to flash it! :p
[Sony Xperia L] Jstrax:
Bootloader

Does this kernel require an unlocked bootloader?

Please reply, thanks :)
[Sony Xperia L] Navneet Suresh:
[MENTION=5653990]Jstrax[/MENTION] all the custom kernel need a unlocked bootloader
[Sony Xperia L] HatchetEgg:
It sure dose buddy but it is worth it!
[Sony Xperia L] amirnote:
hi my friends.

is there any wifi fixer for this kernel ? i couldnt find it ...
[Sony Xperia L] uremytoy:
have u flashed it through cwm? there is no problems with wifi on this kernel
[Sony Xperia L] amirnote:
no i flashed with flashtools/
[Sony Xperia L] HatchetEgg:
It is recommended that you also flash the kernel in CWM Recovery after you have flashed it via flash tools.

as the modules do not get flashed in flash tool.

Without them wifi will not work on your phone until you flash the kernel in CWM recovery.
[Sony Xperia L] RazZzeR:
Flash .Zip

1.Flash boot.img via Flashtool

2.Copy .zip file to sdcard

3.Boot in to CWM Recovery and flash .zip file (Thunder-Zap-3.1-Ultra.zip or Light ver)

Done !
[Sony Xperia L] Jstrax:
Do I need to root my phone to install this or only an unlocked bootloader?
[Sony Xperia L] Navneet Suresh:
[MENTION=5653990]Jstrax[/MENTION] only unlocked bootloader
[Sony Xperia L] uremytoy:
kernel has autoroot, so no u dont need root. just after u flash kernel go to cwm ofc flash it again and when u will press "reboot phone" it will ask u for rooting phone press yes
[Sony Xperia L] Jstrax:
I cant turn wifi on, I read that i need to install modules but how?

Also, how do I overclock? I want to overclock my XL to 1.2.
[Sony Xperia L] przemek4113:
I have used this kernel on my XL month ago and I haven't installed any modules and WiFi was working ok.To overlock download from google play store trickstermod and overlock.
[Sony Xperia L] Jstrax:
Its ok, I already learned how to overclock and my Wi-Fi is working now, I just flashed the ThunderZap zip using CMW.

One more question though, what is the maximum frequency that I can overclock XL without doing any damage?
[Sony Xperia L] uremytoy:
1.5GHz the one that kernel allows. Althou i advise to oc to IT only playing heavy games to avoid batery drain. I use 1.2GHz myself and battery is good

[Sony Xperia L] Jstrax:
Are you using 1.242 ghz or 1.296 ghz? And should I keep the Minimum to 384 mhz?
[Sony Xperia L] uremytoy:
I use 1242MHz but there is not much diffetence. I dont touch minimal freq

VPN not work
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
Ofcourse it won't work out of the box

Load the tun.ko module then it will
[Sony Xperia L] gil.takiya:
I do not mean that the vpn, but privacy software like surfeasy vpn, hotspot shield can not connect. I use the kernel can phanton, tp thunderzip kernel can not.

sorry bad english.
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
Whatever those apps are, they need tunneling module loaded. So as I said you need to load the tun.ko module I provided.

Refer Post #3 on how to do that.
[Sony Xperia L] arjit mehra:
Great! Can't wait! The headphone quality isn't all that great on XL !

I just wanted to share that i'm not getting any great battery life with this..almost same as stock! The standby time is great though! Idk if it's just me ...can you share your battery stats?Mine lasts around 12 hours with 2 n half hour SOT :confused:
[Sony Xperia L] Jstrax:
Will the engine change or mess with ClearAudio+? Because I already like ClearAudio+ along with my Audio Technica earphones, but when it comes out, I still want to try it to see if its better.
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
Weird

Below are my stats with very high usage though they are from v4.0. But the battery you are getting is too low. You must check whether any of your apps are not holding a wakelock or using too much resources.
[Sony Xperia L] arjit mehra:
Hmm..that's a great battery life! Right now i can't check wakelock as it keeps on force closing and also batter right now is at 66 with 30 mins SOT :/ Idk what is eating up my battery! :(

[MENTION=4309448]varun.chitre15[/MENTION] Does the new update of the kernel will support cm11? I 'm asking because if a stable cm go out i want to use it on this kernel and the new kernel will be based on sony stock or CAF kernel?

Edit : New firmware is relased ,so I guess the kernel won't work on 15.3.A.1.14 or it work ?
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
It will, if you see my github you can see I am working on CAF kernel. Once it is done those sources will be officially merged with CM and also I will be merging them TZ ultimately making my kernel compatible with all Android 4.4 ROMs.

And regarding the firmware update then yes, once the sources are released I will be releasing ThunderZap 3.2 just to support the new firmware.
[Sony Xperia L] uremytoy:
@up its supporting new firmware (.14) withought problems. Im using it now and phone is much smoother, i have also rooted it dunno how but i have root :D

Everything i have done was entering cwm, flashing ur kernel again (after flashing it thourgh flashtool) and then i have flashed newes (1.89) sup[ersu from chainfire's thread. After that i had full root :D
[Sony Xperia L] jokerpappu:
waiting for the new update to support .14 fw.u can also root the .14 fw by using the .12's firmwares rooting script
[Sony Xperia L] XenodromeZynosZ:
just to inform you that , kernel that working on 15.A.1.12 also working on 15.A.1.14 too :angel:

TCP Fast Open

[MENTION=4309448]varun.chitre15[/MENTION]

I just read about linux 3.13's TCP Fast Open (TFO). (http://www.eweek.com/enterprise-apps/linux-3.13-improves-networking-memory-performance.html/)

Since TFO is default on 3.13, it is mature. Anyway it needs to be backported. Latest chrome stable supports it. I think it will give some performance improvements. But the only app I know using it is chrome. Dont know if this is worth the effort. Just a suggestion.
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
I have been getting quite a lot requests to release latest CWM 6.0.4.6. And it is real fact that it won't be possible to flash Android 4.4 based flashable ROMs without this newer version due to introduction of set_metadata method which older recovery doesn't know to execute.

And so tomorrow I will be release just a repacked version of TZ 3.1 but consisting newer recovery.

Also I have compiled latest TWRP 2.6.3.0 which is a full touch recovery and I have plan to make tomorrow's release a dual recovery release. But I am not sure about it, so I would like to know what you all think and what your needs are and whether TWRP is important for you. Final decision will be made upon seeing what majority of people say.

Yes I am aware of this. Rather I am aware of all Linux related changes as I regularly check the kernel.org. Unfortunately TFO requires the base API of 'net' to be updated since this module calls certain methods that aren't available in our kernel which is Linux 3.4 kernel. So in order to add some features from upstream it is necessary to also synchronize other parts of the source code upon which it is dependent.

I do have plans to sync most of the stuff with CAF and the linux mainline and this is why I am going to introduce a new kernel series alongside this kernel and in this same thread which will be called

ThunderZap Next

Once I am done with ThunderZap 4.0 officially I will be shooting up first release of TZ Next, those releases will only target the advanced users who can deal with and report any kind of kernel issues viz freezes, random reboots or any kind of abnormal behavior in a proper manner. That is because the amount of changes which will made is very much heavy. Once those new features/enhancements are found to be stable/working properly they will be merged with the normal ThunderZap release.

I will produce more information on this during the v4.0 release.

Regards
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
I vote for dual recovery version as it will create an option for all and TWRP would be great on our phone. :D
[Sony Xperia L] jokerpappu:
will ur tommorows release b based on latest 1.14 fw???
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
Yes dual recovery would be amazing.
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:

[Sony Xperia L] kaioziro:
Eagerly awaiting!

Could you post a screen test in AnTuTu with your kernel?

Thank you: D
[Sony Xperia L] kaioziro:
Overclocked to 1.5? There is no danger of damaging the hardware or decrease the useful life?

Wanted to see a test with AnTuTu this overclock and wonder if much changes the performance and battery life.

Hi Nice kernel you made ;). I have a problem with freezing after boot. When I tried your kernel my xl froze secs after booting into os and then It just reboots. Can you help me?
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
Nope, as far as temperature and stability is normal then its OK. But as a safe side anything above stock frequency will be always be prone to abnormal behavior ;)

Strange. None of us have this issue.

Did you try reflashing stock ftf and reflashing the kernel? If still issue persists, did you try any other kernel out there? Did you try using it along C2104 firmware?
[Sony Xperia L] icoolguy1995:
Nice work !

P.S. this kernel saves me nearly double the battery when just listening to music without it lagging when screen is turned on :)

Could someone post a screen of AnTuTu after overclocking? And could you tell me if the overclock to 1.5 would decrease the lifetime of the cell? I want my last long xD
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
You should use OC only when needed ;) e.g When playing high end game, or some heavy task.

I don't trust benchmarks completely.

But for everyone's sake, here is one @ 1.5Ghz ;)

I request everyone to assist the users and each other with general queries because I won't be there here for first 9 hours of a day from 7am
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
I won't be able to release the new build today due to some household issues(even though it is ready).

I will try releasing it within 1-2 days ;) Till then I would love to hear reviews ;)
[Sony Xperia L] przemek4113:
Can you add in your kernel gpu oc? Does gpu oc give really better performance or the difference is small?
[Sony Xperia L] damian01211:
Of course this kernel going to make your xl fly but not the way developer think.

The phone turn off by its self. Hang's up for all the time. Well done. I through my xl into the wall due to that kernel.
[Sony Xperia L] keenofhiphop:
Ok my review:

I came from vengeance Kernel and used to have some random shutdowns.... due to whatever, it just occured in the last days.

After flashing thunderzap Kernel, this gone. The Kernel feels rocksolid and fast, even if I underclock and switch on intelli_plug and eco-mode.

No lags, freezes or anything.

The most important:

Battery life: I had a cruel batterydrain on vengeance which was reduced when I set a screen-off profile. then I had about 20% drain over three hours of music playback with everything off. Music stuttered when i switched screen on and it took a long time (I used setcpu there, think it just needed its time to come from screenoff profile).

However, now I had 10% drain with same conditions, trickster Mod and no lags or stutters at all... Magic... :D

About overall speed I cant say much as I alwads underclock.

There is no TWRP but thats ok as CWM has a better feeling in my eyes and Kernel Logo is Kickass :D.

[Sony Xperia L] naitik2012:
does this kernel support GPU OVERCLOCK ?
[Sony Xperia L] Rafael Aparecido Camilo:
I'm glad you join us! your kernel is awesome but still need some optimizing but i know you're just starting :laugh:

compared with Vegeance, it's missing some GPU performance, maybe because its not OC, i think mpdecision would be disabled by default to prevent booting up at 1.5Ghz and voltages table is a little wrong it's -100 UV? it could not work at some devices and i prefer TWRP instead of CWM, maybe you could release another version just thinking of course :p

Nice work at all!
[Sony Xperia L] R.A.B:
What kind of question... most of the people will say dual recovery.

For my backups of different firmwares and configs I need it cross-compatible, stable and easily accessible.

I will be alone but prefer CWM...

...
[Sony Xperia L] Navneet Suresh:
[MENTION=4309448]varun.chitre15[/MENTION] thats a lot of work best of luck for your releases ;)
[Sony Xperia L] akthakur84:
Dual recovery will be good. But if I have to choose one between two, I will choose cwm.
[Sony Xperia L] HatchetEgg:
How is V4 of thunderzap coming along!
[Sony Xperia L] anakinsupreme:
Dual recovery would be great.

And thanks for your efforts.
[Sony Xperia L] DsvCdsSoftware:
A dual recovery version will be great, I use TWRP in my motorola XOOM, but I sincerely prefer CWM.
[Sony Xperia L] Miz_Buzzer:
Anyone got a zip without the Thunderzap bootlogo?

and how to use Neon optimizations?
[Sony Xperia L] Yodeh:
Does this kernel work for the latest firmware ? Like the 1.14 ?
[Sony Xperia L] przemek4113:
Yes, using it right now and works great.
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
I understand there is a delay in the release as opposed to what I planned. It's because the CWM has gone too many changes with this huge transition along with a shift of minivold==>vold and have of fs_mgr to parse the file system table. As a result it has been found that the internal storage isn't mounting making it impossible to flash zip from internal storage, or backup/restore from it which is a huge setback. And I found this issue very moment after I announced.

I have temporarily fixed the issue by reverting lots of stuff from CWM related to vold managed volumes but according to me this is not right at all as it has potential to break future/existing features in CWM.

So I need you all to wait for a while as I am having a conversation with devs in CM to get out a way to properly fix this.

I will keep you all updated on this.
[Sony Xperia L] HatchetEgg:
Never mind I hope they will provided support to help you with this issue.

Thanks for letting us know.

I'm still using your awesome kernel and has not let me done once for performance that I need.
