GSMarena uses a preproduction unit, not the actual retail unit. Look at their unboxing - doesn't have headsets.
[Xperia Z1 General] amankapoor4:
True GSMARENA has pre production unit they have mentioned it in review itself, so this is the true potential of the phone. Absolutely flies, great work Sony!!
[Xperia Z1 General] systoxity:
pictures look about the same, here's a 1:1 view of their Strong-Light indoor shot.

as you can see it's still full of grain/over processing. no doubt that pictures look great when not viewed 1:1. What this translates to for the regular user is that some digital zoom/cropping of the 20mp image won't look so great. but when has it ever except on the 1020?

i just expected more from them...

Screen seems good enough now, major problem is bezel and SIZE of device.

Honestly those two are personal preference, I have small hands and I don't mind it. A lot of devices have big bezels and it doesn't seem to bother a lot of people.

Choose pbj kernel as your kernel. Zomg!!!! YouTube app finally plays all the NBA and boxing videos smoothly. Don't try and tell me, YouTube is smooth. Watch an NBA video or a player highlight. Its SO choppy. Saberkernel wasn't cutting it. Pbj kernel will change your life.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick4mitch:
I can watch any sports videos or anything else on Youtube using SaberKernel and I dont see anything wrong, sooo o_O
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EyLaTnOgN:
The sound kept cutting in and out for me on saber
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tikay00:
So can I, but its choppy as hell. Trust me. You'll see the difference if you ever do flash this kernel. Honestly could care less, bit just giving you a heads up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tikay00:
P.s. why do people get so defensive about things like this? I'm not getting paid for people flashing a kernel. You're lucky I'm even telling you guys about how good this kernel is. Most people will never even find out about this kernel. What if someone reads my thread, gives it a try, and they fall in love like I did?

Such a defensive bunch.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
It's actually probably best to let this thread die, because as you said people are getting defensive or as you are claiming kernels are lagging. Saber is an outstanding kernel and I had zero lag and ptmr3 is a great dev and constantly improving his work.

I love PBJ too and actually tend to use it when I'm on a custom kernel maybe partially from nostalgia of the charge. Having said that I find stock is the best for me and I get zero lag.

Here's why, kernels are a funny thing what is great for your phone may be not so great on my phone. I have an example above, but another is trinity kernel bootloops me every time and I can't use it, but many users seat by it. So I believe you that you had you tube lag on Saber and I believe the other guy that he had none. Either way this thread is going to spiral into bashing the work a dev donated to the community very quickly, so it's best to just let it die.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick4mitch:
I'm not sure if you meant to say I was getting defensive about SaberKernel? I just gave my opinion the same way you did, just because you have a problem doesnt mean I have it, just saying. And Im glad there are many choices of kernels, that its always good.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
We ARE lucky you told us!

FWIW the PBJ kernel let my device surprise me with random reboots. I love spontaneity! YMMV.

But seriously, I had better luck with Devil kernel but have since gone back to stock for battery savings and to cure some weird stuff with s note.

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tikay00:
Pbj kernel reminds me of ktoonz kernel for the s4. No RR, YouTube doesn't lag and calls don't hang, also not as many force closes as with saber.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tikay00:
And by the way. I wasn't being condescending when I said you guys were lucky that I told you guys about pbj kernel.

I just meant, its a really good kernel that most people might not know about unless I shed some light on it. Sue me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] conganhthuc:

I've always been curious about the ext2 mod. The fact that it was locked makes me a little suspicious though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] adamcooks:
I'm pretty sure it was locked for a different reason. Many people used the mod with great results.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] BACARDILIMON:
Oh I know many did has great success. But I also know my personal experience of 4cards dead. I also seen so many people complain about it. It was done as use at ur own risk.

Confirmed. Had choppy YouTube audio on Jedi master 17. Installed tweaked today with pbj and not choppy anymore. Thanks for the tip man. I really appreciate it. It was driving me crazy.

Here is the thread by imnuts. If you are on tweaked it is available via the modificator.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tikay00:
Awesome to hear that. Not only the audio, but also the video. Trust me. I challenge anyone to flash the pbj kernel with tweaked, and I guarantee you, you'll see what I'm talking about.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tikay00:
I see that someone already left a link, but I flashed it during the flashing of tweaked ROM. Its like aroma installer. 2 seperatea zip files. Gotta read the instructions in tweaked thread.

I literally didn't even bother flashing it with the separate aroma installer file, until I saw that someone said pbj kernel is great on battery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] carlgraser:
Where would one find the link at to download this kernel? I looked and can't find it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tikay00:
Go to the tweaked thread. 2 separate zip files for installation. 1 is to choose all the options you'd want, just like aroma installer. The other zip file is the actual ROM you flash right after. Don't reboot after flashing the aroma installer file. Flash the ROM zip file right after you finished choosing all the options.

I never bothered with the aroma installer file, until I found out you can do the volume hack and choose an custom kernel. Trust me, choose pbj kernel. You literally have nothing to lose. If you don't like it, reflash or restore your backup.

Just trust me. Before you even install pbj kernel, go to YouTube right now. Type in "derrick rose vs". Watch the first clip against the NY Knicks. There is definite lag and stutter.

Flash pbj kernel, and thank me later.

Matter of fact. Watch any NBA clip where its live and its a highlight of actual game play. You won't find 1 that doesn't stutter and have a glitchiness to it. Pbj kernel will bring your sanity back.

Like I said before. It's basically like ktoonz kernel for the s4. That also stopped the YouTube stutter problem.

YouTube app and HD videos with tons of frame rates and action happening on the acrenes suck. You need the right kernel for flawless viewing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] docfreed:
Followed Your Advice...

and flashed the latest TMO kernel over Tweaked 2.5 - improvement in "smoothness" and seems to be improved battery life over stock (only 13% used in 5 hr 44 min).

Was also having a slight issue answering phone whn coming from lock screen - swiping stutters a bit and this seems to have some improvement.

Thanks for the great tip!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kabuk1:
Holy crap, PBJ rules. I take the phone off the charger around 6:45 am & by the time I get off work at 4:30 I'm at around 40-45%. It's 3:40 right now & I'm at 71% with the same level of usage that I normally do.

Vast, VAST improvement :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tikay00:
Thanks for the reviews fellas. I really did not start this thread to downplay 1 kernel and shout out another. This kernel really did knock my socks off.

Has anyone gotten CRT off to work with this kernel? I cheated on saber with pbj last night lol and I did like it. A few things did bother me though... Lack of init.d support is unheard of these days (I do get SOME of the devs reasons but he does miss the point of some of the functionality of some scripts imo) but I can run most of them via script manager at boot anyways), no known CRT support (wouldn't work using xposed mod methods either, and waking the device is unresponsive sometimes with the bottom button. I did see a nice improvement with battery life but it is noticeable slower than other kernels. I did notice smoother video playback as mentioned but I watch most videos via YouTube app or MX player anyways which is always smooth for me no matter the kernel. It you want a basic kernel with good battery life than this is for you but if you want performance, tweaks, and decent battery life then stick with saber. Just my thoughts...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Did you try the crt option in tsmparts > general? My experience was not great w/ it from the get go so I stopped trying, but just thought I'd mention it. From what I can tell the xposed method is nearly the same as what I did... but it's easy to miss something so I'm sure they differ in some regard. Also - the init.d thing has been mentioned - it was working on a previous build, I'll have to ask imnuts about it I suppose... though he is rather preoccupied w/ real life currently so it might be a wee bit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sino8r:
Hey d! Yeah, I sure did with some other combinations as well. Its always cool to give options. That's why I enjoy your work and ptmr3s work so much. As far as CRT goes... Always heard it had to be incorperated into the kernel & libflinger.so file. I've never been able to make it work solely on xposed framework alone. Who knows though... You know how it goes. Some phones are pickier than others and don't always react the same similar to the flashbar FCing or OCing. I did look around imnuts thread and he seems to be around for questions and such but not sure if he's updating stuff still or just busy with life and general. Thanks for any info in advance if you get to talk to him:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dwitherell:
Yeah I knew there was a kernel element to it as well, I just wasn't sure if you tried the built-in option is all :)

I'll try to chat with him at some point in the next few days and keep you posted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sino8r:
Of course my horse... Yeah that would be awesome to see if he has any future plans for his kernel. It seems like it has a nice cult following here;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] odrecords:
I flashed Tweaked a couple weeks ago and chose PBJ as my kernel through the Aroma Installer. After finding a CRT-Off setting and activating it, it's been working about 90% of the time for me. Way more than any of the other options ever did.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Double0EK:
I had to switch from PBnJ back to Stock Kernel. My N2 was freezing while playing music (TW music player) while plugged into my auxilary cable. When the phones screen is off for about 3 minutes the music still plays but the screen won't turn on using the power button or the home button. The only remedy is a battery pull and restart.

Sorry no logcats as everytime it happens is when I'm driving.

I do have the Volume Skip Option Enabled in TSM Parts as well.

Running Tweaked 2.5 btw.

The firmware version number moves from the current build of 14.1.G.1.534 to build number 14.1.G.2.213. Did anyone get update??? any difference???

Those who got update notification,

Take a backup of all important data like contacts, call logs, SMSs, apps, APN and other settings before proceeding further. You may have to perform a clean install of your OS. While for all practical purposes, using Flashtool is safe but there is a very very remote chance of damaging your phone and don’t blame me should it happen.

For flashtool-Link

1. Install Sony PC Companion and/or SEUS. This will copy the necessary drivers to your PC. Connect your phone with USB Debugging enabled and allow your PC to install the necessary drivers.

2. Connect your phone and update or repair your phone with the latest firmware version (right now 14.1.G.1.534). If you update/upgrade, your data will be preserved. If you repair, all data may be lost. So backup everything. Now, your phone is updated with the latest firmware. Keep it aside. We don’t need your phone anymore to create the ftf file.

3. Go toC:\ProgramData\Sony Ericsson\Update Engine\db\13740270\blob_fs folder and look for the biggest three files. The folder “blob_fs” may be located in a different place depending on whether you used PC Companion or SEUS. Perform a search for that folder if you can’t find it. Once you are inside the folder, sort by size and see the 3 largest files were just created (when you updated/repaired your phone). Copy them to somewhere else like D:\firmware.

4. Install Flashtool and open it.

5. Click Advanced > Decrypt Files.

6. Select all the three files and click the right arrow to send them to the right side and click OK. In a moment, you will see a Flashtool pop up window that shows all the decrypted files. Select all and click the right arrow button.

7. Type in the device name next to Device, firmware version number next to Version, and branding next to Branding and click OK.

8. In the Device Selection window that appears, select xperia Z1 and click OK.

9. In a moment, your ftf file will be there in the default Flashtool folder C:\Flashtool\Firmwares

10. Upload it and post the link so that everyone can use it..
