[MENTION=4984300]Shivam Kuchhal[/MENTION] .. about the charger control, everytime i reboot my xl the charger control value back to normal@stock value .. before reboot i check the charger control value that i have change at sys/kernel/charger_control .. after reboot check it again and the value for costum_ac_current,costum_usb_current and enable has change to normal back .. is it normal ? any way to make it stay at costum value permanently ? thanks :)
[Sony Xperia L] sherry_94:
Its normal ....use scripter ilwith charger boost script.....and set it to boot
[Sony Xperia L] DsvCdsSoftware:
I've just installed the v8 test build, what I've noticed until now:

- The time problem gone away, on previous build the problem shows up on first freeze, but is OK until know...

- Freezes: Not a single one until know, but I'm still testing it.

- TWRP ;)

- I've wiped cache and dalvik from TWRP too for testing porpouses, and tried to falsh pureperformances X. TWRP freeze and reboot. Another question is, system reboot from TWRP sometimes freezes the phone on Phantom logo. I realy don't know why because it's just sometimes :)

So, reports will be added to this post as Edit during the day.

If you need more information or logcat files just ask me to!
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
Its a TWRP specific issue, reboots and freezes. According to TWRP team, they've fixed it in v2.7.0.1 so I think someone needs to build an updated TWRP for us.
[Sony Xperia L] sherif_linkin:
It's still freezing here!!!!
[Sony Xperia L] sherry_94:
I m sorry .....i was away for some time .....can u explain whats this "freezing" ....the whole system hangs n reboots or what ???
[Sony Xperia L] `epiee`:
first the phone hang and reboot , maybe every 2 hours , i'm facing this problem many times everyday :mad::mad::mad:
[Sony Xperia L] sherif_linkin:
Yeah sometimes the whole system freeze and sometimes the screen goes black and won't open till I pull out the battery
[Sony Xperia L] DsvCdsSoftware:
Mr:

About 3 and half hours of use and using WiFi too

- The phone lags a little when I'm listening to music on TuneIn and typing a text using Stock Xperia Keyboard.

- When I opened Candy Crush (one of the most problematic that cause my phone freezes a lot), freezes again but no reboot, just a SystemUI and some other apps (I really don't know why) FC

My phone is @ 1350MHz, no changes to Voltage Table too

GO back to v4.5 cause I need to work with XL. Wish the reports can help

So, reports will be added to this post as Edit during the day.

[MENTION=4984300]Shivam Kuchhal[/MENTION] sorry for my noob question, but my knowledge is extremely poor in kernel builds, but is it possible to take v4.5 of kernel, implement the frequency lock fix on second kernel, TWRP and release to us? Cause for me, the most problematic issue on v4.5 is the second core frequency maxing out.
[Sony Xperia L] Hrustus:
I have rooted phone ;) problem solved. It needs reboot on my case ;)
[Sony Xperia L] sherry_94:
Does anyone faces h/w decoding issue in v7 ???

All movies jitter with h/w deciding.....the prob was there in ThunderZap kernel too .
[Sony Xperia L] Kosa02:
I am facing the same problem as you. Every JB kernel that I tried have this problem on my XL. Even if I run phone on 1.7 Ghz video slight lags with H/W decoding (I'm using MX video player BS player was even worse). On Kitkat versions was video allright..
[Sony Xperia L] sherry_94:
Varun acknowledged the bug but he's busy developing caf kernel
[Sony Xperia L] Kosa02:
It's allright. Now I use stock and then I'd like to switch right on CAF. I'm sure that it will be the best. :)

Need testers to provide reports for this test kernel too-

MultiTouch

what about MultiTouch with this kernel ?

works fine ?

is there any rom fixes it ? :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia L] Kosa02:
I'm happy to report, that on my phone with Phantom V8 is "video lagging" bug gone. Even music slight lagging is solved. Only when I were using Chrome in that case music bit lagged once but this happended to me even on stock kernel.

Only bug which I am having is time reset after reboot.

This version is in my opinion better than V7. :victory:
[Sony Xperia L] sherry_94:
Hows the battery ???
[Sony Xperia L] Kosa02:
I will be able to tell it later. I'm using it freshly.. and battery management shows, that it "jumped" from 30% to 50% while I was charging. But it is cased by restarting phone on charger (I happended to me few times before). I'll reply about battery tomorrow.
[Sony Xperia L] sherry_94:
H/W decoder lag is gone.....thanks man
[Sony Xperia L] DsvCdsSoftware:
Are someone using the -62 undervolt table in tests? Could you provide the table?
[Sony Xperia L] david makarove:
please test multi touch :crying:
[Sony Xperia L] DsvCdsSoftware:
About two hours of using, that's my report:

- Time bug. Not happened before flash (yay)

- Video. Not tested yet (I'll try with some large MKV files)

- Multitouch: Using QuickPic from market as my gallery, zoom is ok with two fingers, I'll try playing King of Fighters and report

- Smoothness: Awesome, but I'm using PurePerformances X with the kernel.

- Lags: Using Wifi at home, not noticed none of the lags on previous version | Playing Candy Crush in wifi (that hangs my phone and I need to pull out the battery on previous kernel test), smooth and lag-free

- TWRP (thanks)

- Audio: I'm using Viper4Android, so I can't tell you about any improvement on this.

- @ 1350MHz, battery life is good until now, waiting for full discharge and recharge.

- 15350 points on Antutu @ 1350MHz

I'll make more tests and see it during the day
[Sony Xperia L] Kosa02:
Were you using stock kernel before or custom? .. In my case when I firstly flashed custom kernel time was fine. After few reflashes it started to reset after reboot. Some say, that disabling automatic time zone can help.. well it didn't to me.

I don't use undervolt. Now I'm on 1 Ghz multitouch seems really good. I've tried it on Google earth and it was perfect. At Sony stock galerry sometimes were some unwanted moves but it can be caused by mi fingers and screen shield.

About baterry after 5 hours of running a can say that it is totaly more powersave while playing video with HW decoding than stock kernel. With idle consumtion it seems similar I can't say exactly I actually don't know how high is my stock consumption and also there can be a mistake (coz of bad charging as I said above).
[Sony Xperia L] DsvCdsSoftware:
I was using Phantom v4.5 (since v7 bring this freezes to my XL)
[Sony Xperia L] david makarove:
thank you very much

waiting for your report:good::victory:
[Sony Xperia L] Kosa02:
Time reset may be caused by new version.. I dont know. It's annoying but I can live with that :laugh: Could you tell me what is freezing? I didn't recognized any freezes. (Maybe I'm looking in wrong places)
[Sony Xperia L] DsvCdsSoftware:
First time freeze using chrome, black screen and battery pull out :(

Another thing that happened before freeze, when I open some apps, the sound lags and become fluent after the app open (WhatsApp), and when I turn on WiFi, my phone hangs a little, and after the wifi turned on.

Going back to v4.5 again, because I need the phone for my work

A little thing that i've noticed when this happen, my phone becomes a little hot, I don't know why.

Maybe at home (if I have some time today's evening), I'll put this test version again and do some tests.
[Sony Xperia L] Kosa02:
Well.. I never run more than Walkman and one another app. On V7 "just" two apps was enough to start lagging music but V8 goes on fluent. As I said I still havent got any freeze .. since I'm trying custom kernels and roms my phone never freezed at all. That's curious..
[Sony Xperia L] DsvCdsSoftware:
What firmware are you using? I've never faced this freezes too, but only with recent versions of the kernel this happen...
[Sony Xperia L] Kosa02:
Stock 15.3.A.1.14 PL (The one from ftf section in general)
[Sony Xperia L] ileeba7:
Ok so after testing it for few hours i still got the freeze bug.

Started google drive, clash of clans and few other apps that need wifi and got freeze of my phone. After few minutes of freezing my phone restarted and stayed on splash picture. So i had to remove my battery and clean cache and dalvik , after that my phone finally booted.

So back to 4.5 :D
[Sony Xperia L] Kosa02:
Well.. i thaught that music lagging is gone but it's not. Now I run 1.2GHz and playing Bridge architect an sometimes it lags. After 10 hours of using no freeze. Hw decoding really works perfect still none lags. I have tried to set cpu freq. to 810 MHz core 1 runs 810 core 2 runs still 1026 MHz...
[Sony Xperia L] sherry_94:
I just had a freeze...i was using rom toolbox app while a page was loading in chrome

[Sony Xperia L] DsvCdsSoftware:
Sorry but I need my phone for work during this week or more, so I need to stay in v4.5 during this time. Could you flash the kernel on your XL and report the results to us, maybe?
[Sony Xperia L] david makarove:
i flashed thunderzap i will test multi touch on it then try it on phantom
[Sony Xperia L] david makarove:
Any progress for re based the kernel on CAF?
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
Just a little heads up. ;)
[Sony Xperia L] david makarove:
o.O

it will be great
[Sony Xperia L] paulogracioli666:
Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Release date? :victory:
[Sony Xperia L] HatchetEgg:
I have used your kernel for 2 days and it works very well!

What are your plans in adding to your newly updated kernel once the new sources out?

Keep up the good work! :D
[Sony Xperia L] vtec303:
hey guys, is this kernel compatible with 4.2.2 ?, thanks .
[Sony Xperia L] przemek4113:
No,first sony need to relase the kernel sources.
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
I'm looking forward to using this kernel if it's ported to 4.2.2

And also can you add CPU overclock to 1.5 ;)
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
I am giving you all a 4.2.2 kernel with CWM recovery but read the caution properly.

CAUTION- WiFi is not working yet. I will fix it ASAP. Use at your own risk. Kernel is stock at the moment.

@Dark Knight

Have you implemented intelli plug and intelli demand or its a full/slight modified stock kernel will test your kernel keep it up bro :good:
[Sony Xperia L] XenodromeZynosZ:
How about the spec of the kernel? is it overclock at 1.2ghZ or any battery improvement or performance improvement?
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
Kernel is stock ATM. I will add features later.
[Sony Xperia L] XenodromeZynosZ:
Wow,,keep it up bro! ..btw it seems that the size of the kernel is 100MB and above xP
[Sony Xperia L] Sparksys:
100mb ????

It looks like the right time to discontinue jellybean support I think. :)

Plenty of reasons for this decision.
[Sony Xperia L] sherry_94:
Plz bro , fix the h/w decoding issue in 1.7 ghz version ....Just 6.1 is the latest version that is fine with decoder.....but it has freq overriding issue ....i like sony ui. Please fix this....then u can discontinue development....

Just my thought....all is upto u though
[Sony Xperia L] DsvCdsSoftware:
About Sony UI, it's totally possible (and I`m using it on CM11) use Sony Home. It's not totally the Sony's UI but it is enough to me, I like much more AOSP SystemUI.
[Sony Xperia L] Kosa02:
Me too. It isn't the same as Sony stock UI but it is fabulous. Give it a try ;)
[Sony Xperia L] :
before you stop support jellybean can you fix freezing issues? in few days all goes well but after that my xperia l sometimes suddenly freezing.

it is very annoying bug, hope you can fix this :)
[Sony Xperia L] fatino:
Yep many freezes even without CPU OC. Looks like GPU problem

CAF rebased kernel should be released tomorrow.
[Sony Xperia L] DsvCdsSoftware:
Nice news, waiting eagerly for it.

It will have the same customizations from previous versions of Phantom? TWRP maybe?
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
Just wait for the release to know the features list. I've used almost nothing from jb kernel. And yes it'll have TWRP by default.

P. S. I'm seriously thinking to discontinue jb kernel because of my inability to fix freezes on it. I'll try one last time to fix everything and if it doesn't work out then no luck for you guys.

P. S. S. This CAF rebase is my most hardworked kernel yet, I hope you guys will give a good response. :)

Thanks a lot

but why you didn't make it OC to 1.7ghz

please make another version with OC
[Sony Xperia L] sherry_94:
He said he wanted to avpid any possible unstabilities , at least for initial version
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
I don't think there's any need of OC when phone is this much smooth at 1.2 ghz itself.
[Sony Xperia L] Sparksys:
Well said,, but our phone is clocked at 1.0 ghz not 1.2

At least if you can make OC version to 1.4 ghz
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
Sony under clocked our device to 1.0 ghz.
[Sony Xperia L] primemonitor:
You mean 1 Ghz, right? ;) While it actually should run at 1.2 Ghz.
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
We're talking about caf rebased kernel here. It's running on 1.2 ghz by default and I guess next update for jb(if there will by any) will be running on same frequency too.
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
Whoops haha yup, my bad. Edited and fixed post. And yeah like shivam said, there's no need for OC, it runs pretty smooth while clocked at 1.2 ghz.
[Sony Xperia L] DsvCdsSoftware:
About the OC version, I'm very happy with 1.2 clock of the CAF kernel, runs really smooth and stable.

And about the new version of Kernel, I'm using it since the release and I have just one word about: Awesome!

Let's wait the release of FXP 322 and see what happens hohoho
[Sony Xperia L] umeshxda:
Fxp322 released..check the website
[Sony Xperia L] SecretVamp:
Any freezing issue in cm11?
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
No and there's a Q&A for asking these questions.
[Sony Xperia L] Flashing_Expert:
music unlistenable with this kernel on CM11, a lot of pauses in music...

returning to original CAF :(
[Sony Xperia L] nakulp:
Try Interactive governor ..skips should be gone.
[Sony Xperia L] Flashing_Expert:
tryed all governors including interactive and it does not help, on standart CAF kernel i dont have this problem even with ondemand governor...
[Sony Xperia L] nakulp:
Try backup of all our settings/apps and then factory reset+format system+reflash kernel+reflash fxp322. I'm on the same kernel +fxp322 and having no problems such as the ones you described.
[Sony Xperia L] GauharJK:
If you flash the ROM after installing any custom kernel, you will be on default ROM kernal... as the custom kernel would be replaced...
[Sony Xperia L] nakulp:
sorry,my bad.you're right.
[Sony Xperia L] arjit mehra:
I've been having random freezes and random reboots since i flashed this kernel!I have AOSPA Rom ,also the music volume is pretty low!
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
AOSPA rom isn't updated from long time. Freezes in kitkat is because of rom and not kernel. Also low music volume isn't anything related to kernel. I haven't touched anything related to it.
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
Phantom Kernel v8.5

Okay peeps, time for an update!! ;)

Once again, its only for KitKat. You don't need to flash this kernel on AOSPA 4.4 Beta 1 as it includes this version as default.

I had a talk with rom developers regarding ramdisk swap and I am working on it, for now this kernel is compatible with all KitKat ROMs if you find any issue with any sort of rom then feel free to report. This kernel includes CM ramdisk by default and has been tested by me personally on C-ROM, CarbonROM, CM, SlimKat and all other ROMs too.

Changelog:

Updated ramdisk from latest FXP release.

Set max readahead value back to 128 kb. 2048 was causing lags and I forgot I have already changed readahead logic.

Salvaged some RAM from logger, now you've 1 MB extra RAM. :p

Changes to futex:

Prevent attaching to kernel threads.

Add early deadlock detection check.

Validate atomic acquisition in futex_lock_pi_atomic().

Always cleanup owner tid in unlock_pi.

Make lookup_pi_state more robust.

Some general code cleanup.

Fixed lags in games.

Fixed music pauses.

Fixed general bugs here and there.

[Sony Xperia L] david makarove:
Thanks :laugh:

so no chance to OC version

But still great work :)
[Sony Xperia L] srcharged:
Aw!! That 1 MB Extra RAM! WOW :p :p Touchy! ;)

Jokes apart. Way to go man! :D

Options for recovery, Like TWRP version, CWM version and Philz version as different kernels possible?
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
No reviews or reports? That wasn't expected guys. :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia L] primemonitor:
Sorry, I was being lazy :p

v8 worked absolutely fine for me, really a lifesaver when it comes to battery :), and only mild music stuttering (though I've always faced this issue on Phantom and ThunderZap kernels but not on stock 4.2 kernel, and hadn't tried any other kernel on 4.2, and I don't remember exactly if I had this issue on CAF :silly:).

Hope its gone on v8.5. Gonna try it now. Will post review after using it for a day or two.

Thanks for the continued good work :svetius:
[Sony Xperia L] Mayoz:
no lag for game anymore...
[Sony Xperia L] Flashing_Expert:
it seems that music pauses are gone in v8.5 :victory:

games runs smooth, no lags here...

battery backup is very good around 2days with all time wifi

no overheating or freezing in whole system (CM11 in my case)

thanks for this kernel :good:
[Sony Xperia L] david makarove:
This will let me test it :)

in resurrection remix :D

i hope. It didn't bootloop like PAC MAN. Rom

i will back after try

Edit: it works fine and the phone is crazy smoooooth

i get 15000 score in antutu

apps runtime is more fast

Thanks a lot :)
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
Phantom Kernel v8.7

As per requests by some people, I have integrated anykernel updater script into this kernel.

So now you can flash this kernel on ANY KitKat rom without any reason to worry as it'll replace only zImage and not ramdisk.

Finally I am stepping towards universal support. :D

Changelog:

Switched to anykernel updater script.

Only one question!!! can i use this kernel with the 4.2.2 rom???
[Sony Xperia L] przemek4113:
Yes, you just have to choose the 4.2.2 version and flash using recovery or twrp.
[Sony Xperia L] Flashing_Expert:
iam really impressed, 3 days standby with normal usage and all time wifi on (internet, music listening, some games playing like archery and typical phone usage, sms and calls) and little bit of undervoltage -75000 mV

only energy income was 13 min on usb nothing more

i have only one question, this kernel using MPDecision or it have something like auto hotplug (i mean KK version)?
[Sony Xperia L] david makarove:
Really nice

When i read first line of your post i thinked that you created OC version of kernel :P

But what you do it still great

Thanks man
