I got none of these problems with this kernel.

But here some things you can try...

All the problems I noticed in the last times (launcher fcs, ...) are gone since I removed the Xposed framework

Use Stamnia together with "Wi-FiMatic" (instead of the built-in location based wifi). It's free, you'll get better battery and the wifi reconnect is stable.

Maybe that helps a liitle bit...

And btw... - the lesson I learned during Nokia times... - to eliminate memory problems I restart my phone every morning... :D

[Sony Xperia L] przemek4113:
[MENTION=4309448]varun.chitre15[/MENTION] thank you so much for the kernel.I have no problems at all,wifi works good.Thanks for the masterpiece work.:good:
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
are you sure there's no harm in doing that? you've tested it right
[Sony Xperia L] R.A.B:
Make a cwm backup before - if you got problems you can restore... ;)
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
I haven't tested it nor I will be able to as I have very very limited data left because my builds come from a remote build server, not my personal computer. It should & will work.

I will not be able to keep up with this thread from tomorrow due to my limited internet data.
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
Haha I'll wait until somone elese tries out the non oc version, cause right now I'm kinda busy :p
[Sony Xperia L] felix_fx2:
here's my score...

Max clock 1566000.... WICKED PHONE again !
[Sony Xperia L] aniketroxx:
What about the screen flickering bug that comes at the low brightness ?
[Sony Xperia L] FantasticalX:
Fixed.. ;)
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
Has anyone tried out this version yet? it's the non oc version
[Sony Xperia L] Sparksys:
I tried it, Works normally is it should be
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
Thanks I'll try it out later :) Is there any changes? like does it still heat up?
[Sony Xperia L] jokerpappu:
i was hoping to see a new version of this kernel with improvements.bt i guess we hav to wait a little longer for that:(
[Sony Xperia L] zacutesz:
I cant use my wifi after flash non OC version even o already push manually the modules, please help me..
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
Try flashing phantom kernel's boot.img via fastboot and then flash phantom_kernelv3.Zip via CWM.
[Sony Xperia L] Marius Cristian:
[MENTION=4309448]varun.chitre15[/MENTION]

Today I turned off my phone and when I wanted to start the phone I got a bootloop.I didn't do anything special to it...I tried to start it from recovery,I wiped cache& dalvik,nothing worked.In the end I had to wipe data.I lost all my data(however I have the important things backed-up) ... but i lost many mods like all the customization from gravity box,texts and so on.The phone booted with 20% less battery.I really needed it and this thing almost ruined my plans.I will flash a 4.2.2 official zip and stick with it until CM is released.Thanks for your work,I'm sure I did something wrong because it seems I'm the only one.Good luck with this kernel...it was awesome (except stablity at least for me).

All the best,

Marius!
[Sony Xperia L] przemek4113:
[MENTION=4309448]varun.chitre15[/MENTION] it would be nice if you include in the next version gpu oc thanks. I think there is no sense to make a lite kernel without overlocking,if someone don't want oc ,so just simply don't oc,but this is only my opinion. :D
[Sony Xperia L] aniketroxx:
oc brings instability
[Sony Xperia L] damian01211:
Please tell me that you are joking -.-... I've overclocked all of my phone's + 2 PC's and never ever have problem with stability.

Ha, I tell you something. It was working way better with overclocked cpu than on stock :)
[Sony Xperia L] przemek4113:
for me not,all don't need to use oc.
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
If you had followed the thread properly you would have known that.

The purpose of making a lite version is a bug which is "even if you don't wish to overclock you are forced to"

E.g you set max frequency to 1 GHz but what you will observe? It is observed that the second core still runs at 1.5Ghz despite of limiting it to 1 which is what many people don't want. The bug is in cpufreq drivers and is not introduced by me but it is Sony. It is even present in stock kernels.
[Sony Xperia L] przemek4113:
Thanks for clearing.
[Sony Xperia L] nakulp:
This was present also in my previous Xperia Sola on the Novathor chipset. So is there any solution to it that sony can address while we are using the non OC version?

---------- Post added at 05:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 AM ----------

Can you please mirror the lite version on mediafire or someother site? Goo.im failed me atleast 9 times..:(

---------- Post added at 05:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 AM ----------

Non OC version wifi doesnt work?
[Sony Xperia L] faizalotai:
Tried both version but please take look @ those screenshot..

seems non OC not entering deep sleep..a bug??
[Sony Xperia L] zacutesz:
thx it works now :laugh:
[Sony Xperia L] nakulp:
You are on Thunderzap now or Phantom?
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
I think your kernel removes MP Decision completely because when I tried reverting back to my kernel, there was no MP Decision toggle in Trickster Mod settings and both the cores were active all the time with frequency always at 1 ghz. I hope you've a solution for this as this is a issue for many people who may want to revert back for any reason.
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
It doesn't remove, it renames the binary.

Look at the updater script.
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
So, what should be done in order to get it back after flashing another kernel? :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia L] ishanbhatnagr96:
+1. Flashed phantom back to check battery difference and there's no mp decision now.

Had to flash ftf back again.
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
Rename mpdecision.bk to mpdecision in /system/bin
[Sony Xperia L] skad00sh:
Thanks!

Working now!
[Sony Xperia L] przemek4113:
I have a question.Does this kernel have swap support?
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
Swap support has been removed. There is literally no need of it.

Next version will have support for zRam which is significantly better than swap.
[Sony Xperia L] Revontheus:
What Governors does this kernel have? Will it work for Clean N Tweaked ROM please answer back thanks :good:
[Sony Xperia L] jokerpappu:
it has the same governer as in stock.and it works with CnT very nicely ok
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
Switched back to Phantom Kernel 3.0, my phone was heating up wayy too much
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
ThunderZap 4.0 will be released in second week of 2014 and naturally will support the new upcoming firmware and maybe CM as well if it comes by then ;). Off from development till then for sake of my exams ;) Merry Christmas in advanced to all of you as I am out of XDA for some duration. Enjoy!

Regards.
[Sony Xperia L] Moscow Desire:
Well, I was called in.

I "Hope" things are calmed down now.

If you don't like a particular mod, then by all means do 1 of 2 things.

1) State "logically" what isn't performing correctly, and if needed, attach a dmesg

2) Move along to something else.

Spare the histrionics and colorful rambling speeches. Has no place in Development.

As it is, Think I'll clean out some "feeking" complaint and off topic posts. (have no idea what "feeking" is.....)

Carry On

[Sony Xperia L] meiax93:
Love this Kernel! Thanks for make my Xperia L on 4.2.2 use custom kernel :victory:

Before this i use Vengeance kernel on 4.1.2.

Keep it up bro! Well done :good:
[Sony Xperia L] darekesp:
It's more kernel for XL than Xperia M. So can I flash kernel for Xperia L on Xperia M?? Like on xperia 2011 family ?? I think XL and XM it's simmilar
[Sony Xperia L] sherry_94:
I'd like to know that too.

However, i doubt if that is possible???

Sent from my Crappy Tipo ss
[Sony Xperia L] rahulsnair:
Swaping kernal between device.. I mean if you going to use kernal of Xl with XM i doubt if you get your negative result, it may harm your device. I prefer to stay put from experimenting with kernal.
[Sony Xperia L] darekesp:
But for M it's only one... No custom rom's nothing...
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
Yeah flash it and hard brick your phone. Good luck! :p
[Sony Xperia L] uremytoy:
he will NOT hard brick his phone by flashing kernel from different phone, worst thing he will get is bootloop, and he will need to reflash ftf for his phone.. Thats what i learned on x8 :) but since like he said devices are bit similarr he may try :P
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
Dude, kernels are very very sensitive.

Bootloop is out of question. I don't think that he can come over it after flashing ftf.

I don't think you guys should mislead him to flash the kernel. Please! :angel:
[Sony Xperia L] uremytoy:
i know ppl who flashed kernels from different phone :D i know even dumb who did that on locked bl. all they ve got was bootloop, yeah kernels are sensitive but that comes to compiling. if u break one thing often u have to start from scrath, its not that i ve compiled any or what, i just know that bcoz great dev nAa from x8 and other 2k11 xperias said that so i assume its the same, ofc i may be wrong
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
Yeah you are wrong because both phone aren't even SAME.

They just have same class of chipsets. Please stop misleading him.

I don't even think that you even own Xperia M or Xperia L.
[Sony Xperia L] jokerpappu:
dont flash any other kernels.just flash kernels made for XL.u will just waste ur time or even brick ur phone.dont try anything that will brick ur phone ok
[Sony Xperia L] bronet:
I used this kernel. but when i install hyouka mod, my wifi is not working. where i can find module for wifi?
[Sony Xperia L] HatchetEgg:
Once you flashed the kernel in flash tool you will need to install the kernel in recovery mode so it is able to include the moduals to get wifi to work.
[Sony Xperia L] przemek4113:
Hi varun.I have problem with the kernel, the ram sometimes is only around 130 MB and i can't free him.For example, when i go to walkman the and and click home the launcher is refreshing,restarting.It looks like the phone can't free enough ram for apps.To slove this i have to restart the phone,but it anyway happen after some time.It seems that something is wrong with the ram mangament.Can you fix this, please,everything elise is perfect for me.
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
That will be gone in next release. Next version will support KitKat as well.

As a temporary solution, lock the launcher in RAM so that it won't get killed. You may use any of the apps on Playstore, there are many.
[Sony Xperia L] R.A.B:
I use the non oc version of this kernel since 30th november without problems.

Okay, it needs more ram (~15-20 mb) but: phone, video, music, e-mails - I have never seen such an excellent battery behavior on my phone.

varun.chitre15: -thank you very, very much for your work
[Sony Xperia L] jayaura:
META-INF required ?

What to do with the META-INF folder in the zip file I just downloaded? Is it required ?

I'm getting these error messages (screenshot attached) when unzipping the contents (I want the non-overclocked one, so I am supposed to replace the boot.img inside the zip, right ? )

Is it okay to remove that folder when repacking the zip after replacing boot.img ?
[Sony Xperia L] faizalotai:
If you have rar or 7zip installed in your pc..just double click on it then delete boot image than drag another boot image into it..it will compress by itself(within compress folder)

make sure you copy the original 1st than rename it to something else( Thunderzap NonOC)
[Sony Xperia L] jayaura:
I'm on linux, and using file-roller (standard gnome3 archiver package). It says "An error occurred while deleting files from the archive". I can neither delete from it, nor add to it.

What about these META-INF? If thats just meta information which CWM will discard, then there is no point in having them. The error is caused by those content, as you can see it from the screenshot I posted earlier. What do you think ?
[Sony Xperia L] faizalotai:
Right now,you just wanted to used this non-oc kernel version right..

i'll provided to you soon..

Thunderzap Non-Oc
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
Do we have any testers for CyanogenMod 11(4.4.2) ?

I cannot do that due to my slower connection(and limited data) because all my builds(both kernel and ROM) come from a remote build server.

Flashing procedure is same as other source built ROMs available around i.e fastboot.

Interested people can pm me. Please DO NOT post your responses here.
[Sony Xperia L] mousemeat:
Hey you guys,

Can we connect the Dualshock 3 controller with this kernel????

Has anyone tried that?

Thanks!!
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
Yes you can connect it.
[Sony Xperia L] mousemeat:
Thanks, Would you be kind enough to tell me how do I do that? I mean, is it bluetooth or otg cable ?
[Sony Xperia L] sharang.d:
What's the default OC on this kernel?
[Sony Xperia L] przemek4113:
default frequency is 1ghz;)
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
Just figured out that turning on temperature throttle in Trickstermod won't let the second core do mischief of overriding the frequency ;)

Try it.

And I am releasing a minor update v3.1 which will fix the RAM issues some of you are facing.

Guys I haven't heard of any reviews lately :p It's been almost a month now ;) :p
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
Sorry mate it's just 3.0 came with a few bugs and stuff like you mentioned above about the second core and also my phone heated up quite a lot. Once you've released 3.1 I might make a review if I have time ;)

Oh and one more thing, is it based on the latest CWM?
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
Nah..that's scheduled for the major release v4.0.
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
Oh alright, anyways thanks.

J16
[Sony Xperia L] R.A.B:
Based on your non oc version? ;) - this would be fine. I am happy with that release...

___

And one thing I thought about... - it's so easy to patch and test ROM-related changes by using "Android Commander" which needs hard root. In my "Relentless ROM v2" (Motorola xt615) I only had to edit one file in the hidden partition to get it to work.

On Xperia I use the commander in conjunction with "adbd insecure". But it seems that adbd won't work anymore with android > 4.2.2...

Is it possible (and isn't it easier?) to implement a similarly mechanism directly into the kernel? Can you do that in future release?

___

Thanks again for your great work... - Merry Christmas!

[Sony Xperia L] przemek4113:
Nice varun,thanks for the kernel update.I will try it and report about the ram and others.
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
Can I install it with any kernel that comes with cwm? I'm only asking since the kernel sources are updated. I'm not sure if it requires a specific firmware or anything, but it should work on 15.3.A.0.26 right?
[Sony Xperia L] przemek4113:
Yes, you can install it on any kernel with cwm and it works on 15.3.A.0.26.I'm testing it and it works nice.
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
What's with the ultra and light versions? Any differences?
[Sony Xperia L] jokerpappu:
i guess light version means no OC and ultra means with OC

Use Trickstermod to do this and set in 'on boot' so it can do it everytime you reboot your phone
[Sony Xperia L] kris555777:
ill add lower voltage 384000-750000,432000-750000,.......1026000-900000,.......1566000-1027500

and its fine, no one reboots even ill playing some hard games.

kernel is the best.
[Sony Xperia L] R.A.B:
Thanks again once more, but sorry, this is my first phone with custom kernel...

I don't understand why the Trickster table ends at 1188000. Cause of the "light" version?

...
[Sony Xperia L] faizalotai:
Yes, light version up to 1.2 but with ultra it goes up to 1.5..
[Sony Xperia L] Navneet Suresh:
What if ?

I am using your settings now but just wanted to get things clear can UVing CPU hamper its performance or would my phone get hanged if i play heavy games like Asphalt 8. :confused:
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
Undervolting doesn't compromise performance in any way. And it is highly unlikely that you will face any issues with that game.
[Sony Xperia L] przemek4113:
I don't know why ,but I still have the issue with the ram.This is little irritating for me ,because i can't free the ram with any way.I have to restart the phone after some time.Of course I have updated to 3.1. I try to test another kernels ,maybe it's my fault.
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
Now there is nothing which consumes more RAM in the kernel. Neither me nor most of the users are having this issue. Only 2 to 3 of you. In my case I am using the heaviest launcher(TSF Shell) which runs on aggregate 70-80Mb of RAM and I don't have any such problem.

I already told you two solutions

1. Lower minfree threshold - this reduces the free RAM limit which could reduce the chances of the launcher to get killed to a significant extent.

2. Lock launcher in memory - this completely white-lists the launcher. This means that android won't kill the launcher no matter what.

You are facing this issue maybe because you are overusing the phone. You didn't have this issue on stock kernel because the system was quite fresh at that time than the current state. Android system has one of its drawback that it undergoes memory fragmentation with time and as a result one process requires more memory than what it had in the past.

You have two options to go with

1. Try any of two solutions mentioned

2. Try the stock kernel so that you can draw a true result with real observations.
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
Finally fixed the over-riding freq permanently :p

Teaser #1 for v4.0 coming today :p

[Sony Xperia L] przemek4113:
Hi varun ,it's me again :p Your kernel doesn't have any bug with ram or etc,it was my fault.I think the problem was the seeder app,when I uninstalled it from my phone the ram was working normal.Sorry for bother you.:D

Teaser #1

Successfully merged the whole kernel with Linux 3.4.75

More than 3700 new patches

My own reports:

- I see good improvement in multitasking.

- Especially launching of apps

- Phone boots faster by 120ms (milliseconds) as measured by boot time measuring tool.

- Apparently those 'mini-pauses' in music playback seem to be fixed. I will test more

- Phone goes in deep sleep quite quickly

- Sweeping through keyboard seems smoother.

- I see touchscreen improvements as well (there are 30 patches concerning with the input driver

Ofcourse these were my observations, you guys tell me what else you see when it's released.

This feature is just 1/20th part of ThunderZap 4.0. It will be packing lot more goodies. Except flagship Sony devices, none of the Sony devices have those hacks!

I will not be disclosing anything else except one more teaser in next few days!

Second thing anyone shouldn't guess anything and spoil all the fun alright? :D

Just wait and watch! I bet it will worth a wait

Regards

Cool! Don't use any external init.d tweaks or any such seeder apps

Setting system partition to rw can raise security concerns of phone. You can use root explorer to manually set system to rw.
