Finally the first flashable AOSP kernel for XZ
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] rohit25:
flashing it....

thanks mate...

was gonna build a kernel myself....with sources from doomkernel as i hated not being able to overclock and stuff..... thanx..... also do think about overclocking the GPU....

thanks anyways
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
Yea, I will add GPU overclock to the list.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] C.Eduardo:
I need to cm10.1.3RC2. will this kernel work on it??
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
No, only works on CM10.2 (based) and AOSP 4.3 (based) ROMS.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] golfgtiedition30:
Flashed on Asylum ROM. Its working as it should....thanks for your work :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
Thanks for your report. I have added Asylum ROM to the confirmed list of compatible ROM's.

Also, I have received 2 alternative designs from [MENTION=5040989]domicq[/MENTION] regarding to the bootlogo:

What do you guys think? Do you like it over the current one?

Which one do you like most?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] golfgtiedition30:
If I'm honest I like the current one. But out of the two images above I like number 2 :)

i wanna try it on FXP 10.2 builts . with this kernel I can skip the fastboot kernel flashing method, can't I?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
It depends if you already have CWM or TWRP recovery installed. If you have, you shouldn't need to flash via fastboot.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] wawyed:
I like more no 1.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tantawi:
Number 1 is much better, thanks for your effort!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] leongzxc:
will it be possible to implement the double tap to wake feature? :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
I'm already working on that :) It's pretty hard, because I have to modify the touchscreen driver to support that.

But I'm making good progress and I hope to include it in the next version.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] BeDesireS:
I don't think that's the reason, because as I know the settings are loaded after or during boot, but my device never comes to the boot part.

It just stuck at the kernel logo and that's not a typical boot loop!?

But it's strange that some of us got stuck and some not, even with the same Rom!?

Did anyone of those who got stuck tried again and had luck?

[MENTION=220332]Jeroen[/MENTION]

Is there anything we can do to solve this problem or help you to clarify it!?

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] alnikki25k:
It's a flashable ZIP. So shouldn't be a problem. Worst-case the recovery works :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] doctor78SI:
Now true. Your 1.10.1 is also flashable ZIP but after I flashed it I had no access to recovery. I had to fastboot flash it.

PS: What kind or kernel is this test zip? I see it is a lot smaller than your usual builds?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] BeDesireS:
Okay. I hope you are right, because with the last kernel even recovery was not working anymore!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] CHUPACAPRA71:
Great job Jeroen , THX for your work!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Yom:
Flashed. ROM boots beautifully, but I got no cellular service :(

My IMEI is gone.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] alnikki25k:
Yes. My kernel build should have the recovery working, at the least ;)

Those other build are jeroen's builds. They have a different compression. So varying sizes.

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] doctor78SI:
I am confused now ... Who is developing MEOW kernel? You or jeroen? I know you r developing CyanX and did you put the latest MEOW in v7.0 or shaould we flash it?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] vincyi269:
Thanks, It's working! a question, why is it 9MB+ whereas the original upload was about 12.13MB quite a difference in size. :confused::)

EDIT: oh, different compression. I see..

I am also experiencing self reboot after leaving the phone to sleep. Is this a kernel problem?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
We are both developing MEOW-kernel..

But normally I do the releases. He just did a test build to check if it solved the problems of the people who had problems with getting stuck at bootlogo
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tantawi:
Thank you, but what about non-working cellular that users are reporting? any fix?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] vincyi269:
Regarding msm_mpdecision, wasn't the option available all the time? :confused: is it a feature? is it best to keep it on or off?? I've always kept it off due to better performance

EDIT: after 30 mins. I received a phone call, the phone reboots itself. Then upon reboot, the same logo freeze happened.. I uninstalled any kernel related apps already. Im using PAC rom with the meowi2.zip meow kernel. It's too unstable to use, I tried wiping cache and dalvik, same thing logo freeze, on both ZIP files

EDIT2: The same thing happened when I tried to make a phone call. press call button.. and boom restart.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] marceldossantos91:
i agree the latest test build is way to unstable to use. i have issues with signal and auto-reboots aswell, however i just saw something, flash the latest nightly of PAC (10.02) and then flash 1.10.01 of the kernel,reboot,let it settle for a minute or two, reboot,re-flash meow kernel again. wipe dalvik/cache in TWRP and try again.. this worked for me,got my deep sleep also working.

---------- Post added at 06:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 PM ----------

Got a wierd issue on overclocking, the reported frequencies accept and it is stable.

However once applying overclock (to lets say 1.7ghz) it at first shows the OC is applied to all 4 cores,exit any tuner app,go back in,only Core 0 has overclock,other 3 cores dont overclock,can anyone confirm if they have the same issue?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] vincyi269:
I was on latest custom PAC build. okay, I will try the latest nightly PAC build to see the differences. :D :good: will report my findings.

EDIT: same thing on night yuga02. Same issue.. the red light indicator lights up during boot, then boot logo... then stuck. reboot itself again and again. meowi2.zip still gave me crashes and reboots due to it is unstable.. oh well, all hope is lost then I shall go back to the old kernel and custom :( bye-bye overclock

It's the same for me.

Kernel running smoothly.

Tried it with PAC, JellyBam and now running CM 10.2 nightly.

Never got a boot loop while flashing or otherwise, just one reboot due to massive undervolting.

Tapatalk
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] [-Amrish-]:
Damn...haven't flashed the latest kernel yet.

Here and there issues. And I agree with BeDesireS. Few users can run the latest kernel and others are stuck on bootloops. What is the main change of the latest kernel?

I don't know if it will work but why don't reset the changes you've made with OC or trickster mod and flash the kernel again?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] marceldossantos91:
hmm sorry that didnt work for you, sadly to say the overclock isnt yet in a 100% working state (for me anyway,as explained above only works on core 0 and does NOT always stick, which i think is the android os not the kernel causing it but still) so your not missing out on much, i cant explain that we all got the same device yet occur different issues, i do know one thing though,the dev will fix it within time :D so lets just wait and see.. it will become the kernel we all want it to be.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] vincyi269:
I've even uninstalled them, they do not seem to be the cause

---------- Post added at 12:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 PM ----------

I guess maybe it's their device configuration? I don't think it's device related as we're running the same ROM. I've even tried from the latest custom to latest nightly.. It never got pass the new meow boot logo. Not even recovery

---------- Post added at 01:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

Were you on latest custom or nightly pac? Can you provide your last kernel settings? :( did you do a full wipe or just cache and dalvik?

Using the latest PAC nightly.

The "meowi2.zip" made me get no cellular. I loved the recovery though.

Would love to see that recovery again for sure!

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] marceldossantos91:
found a workaround for overclock not sticking!

Hi guys.

For those of who has problems overclocking core 0 but 1 2 and 3 reverting,

Don't know if this helps or not. but i found a work around (working for me anyway) to stop the overclock settings from reverting to stock on cores 1,2,3.

1. download kernel tuner (root) from play store and allow SU.

2. go to settings (top corner) > general.

3. tick "prevent changes from other apps" on (its a workaround for HTC but it works)

4. voila, all cpu's reporting correct overclock not just core 0.

its a crap work around for now as it does put all cpu's online and if u disable CPU1 the settings revert, but with deep sleep it shouldnt be much of an issue for battery life performance (i hope)

Hope this helps for anyone.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] zomer331:
I had a bit problem with TWRP Recovery, it laggy a bit when scrool and else. ;]

Have anyone problem with charge the phone on the 10.10.1 MEOW kernel? My phone just doesn't see that cable is plugged in, I have to plug and unplug cable a few time.

I check it on other phone and there everything is okey, everytime when I plug phone charge.

so???
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
I had this once, and there was some dust in my USB port of the phone. Check yours. There shouldn't be any problems with charging, unless you have a very weird charger...

Will look into this problem.. I've confirmed only the first core can go higher then 1512 MHz..
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] C.Eduardo:
I'm using the rom "Mokee Open Source - Release 2" that comes with this kernel (oldest). I tried to use this new version and had terrible bootloop. Recovery does not work, I could only put the old kernel using Flashtool.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] marceldossantos91:
overclock testing

Thanks [MENTION=2446348]jeroenqui[/MENTION].

i have been doing some thorough testing,and to be honest i dont think its your kernel that prevents the overclocking as it does clock all 4 frequencies for about 5 seconds before reverting, i remember doomkernel at a time back having the same issue with me on android base 4.2.2, which i then used another work around. i have confirmed this work around sticks, since yesterday ive had no reboot from instability (and all 4 cores are still active [MENTION=827116]172[/MENTION]8mhz as ive put them,(with undervolt -125mv on all frequencies) and have confirmed deep sleep works with all cores online (as ive had 7H deep sleep time) and have realised no out of the ordinary battery drain. i have realised though for me,the most stable frequency is 1728mhz @ 1125mv,wherest 1828mhz requires a minimum of 1187mv to work stable without glitching out on me.. i think this work around is okay for daily use without out of the ordinary battery draining. i think this is ROM issues not the kernel. maybe some people should test this with roms other than pac-rom nighlies and confirm if they have the same issue?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jeroenqui:
New version v1.10.04 uploaded:

Changelog:

Modified default voltages for better stability

Should solve problems with the ROM not booting for some people.

NOTE: If it still doesn't boot for you, flash back the old kernel, boot into the rom and reset voltages to default.

After that, flash this new version, and it should be ok.

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] vincyi269:
the only downside of this update after an hour use is that I can't clock it up to 1836Mhz or it will lag my phone, crash it, and cause the logo loop boot to come back. I kept it at 1728Mhz and it's blazing fast and smooth with no crashes. This is weird, but well. The overclock is already a bonus to me even if its not maxed out at 1836 :laugh::victory:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] MattJaO3D:
I find that If I turn mtp off ( disable ) I found that all four cores work fine, not just one stuck at max
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] golfgtiedition30:
For me the settings don't work after a reboot. For example I set over clock to 162000 using trickster, then reboot, but it goes back to 1512000 again.

---------- Post added at 12:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 AM ----------
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] venky716:
Yes Clock freq, governors etc revert back to stock on reboot this is the default setting, u can tick set on boot to keep it at 162000.

If you're using trickster or kernel tuner then change from the respective app setting.

I underclock to 1242Mhz , but after some browsing , gaming , the max clock frequency auto change to 1800Mhz in tricster mod.

Hello,

MEOW-kernel v1.10.04 flashed several times, TWRP is very slow to use.

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tantawi:
Same here.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] mekwall:
These are my current issues with the latest custom build:

Screen flickering is still happening (especially when keyboard is open in certain apps such as Facebook Messenger). Disabling HW overlays doesn't help me :crying:

With MEOW kernel I got these issues:

Irratic touchscreen behavior. After phone has been locked for a while and then unlocked (maybe after deep sleep?) the touchscreen seems to get some weird input and is not responsive. I have to tap the screen multiple times with several fingers for as long as a minute until it finally starts behaving normally. This is a real game breaker for me and have forced me to flash the original kernel. Maybe this have something to do with swipe2wake or doubletap2wake?

Overclocking to 1.8ghz doesn't work well on my device. It slows down to a halt and nearly becomes unresponsive and after a while it will reboot itself.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] vincyi269:
I have both issues too. Try clocking it at 1.7Ghz and it shud be fine. bt the rest of the cores aren't working for me. and the locksreen input is still and issue so I disabled any pattern or pin to unlock and it hasn't happened yet. :o
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] mekwall:
Yeah, using 1.7Ghz works just fine. I was able to run @ 1.8GHz without a problem with DOOMkernel.

I don't have a pin or pattern, so I don't think that's the cause :confused:

Hi there,

maybe someone can answer me a "dumb" question.

Might this kernel also work on my pollux (Xperia Tablet Z LTE), as the specs to the yuga look very similar, except the size :D

Meow looks like the kernel i (featurewise) need, but the only thing i could find for the pollux is the whole (rom) CM10.2 - Fidelity Edition which says it has the Meow kernel included.

They may have modified the kernel. Could always get the boot.img from the ROM and flash it via fastboot. That should work unless someone corrects me. ;)

NO !!

Do not try to flash a boot.img of a different device you could seriously brick your tab Z.

I would say you can try it.. If it bricks you have always fastboot left...

Hi

thx for the explanation. Gave the meow boot.img from the mentioned fidelity edition a try. Booted but had no wifi. :(
