well done man...

I create a compilation for bootanimation and i include your work to fit the time of loading the kernel...if you want feel free to try just copy from your computer into your external SD Card root then on your phone open Root Explorer go in root of SD Card copy the zip and go into system/media and paste it there.

Make sure you have a copy of your original bootanimation saved in your internal memory before to do that!

After you paste in media folder rename it to bootanimation and give permissions rw-r--r-- (long press on archive and select Permissions)

I will post some screenshots!
[Sony Xperia L] Hellspawm:
Screenshots when you change the bootanimation

On screenshot 1 and 3 is the correct way to change the Permissions, you just must to push that small button where it say Mount R/W to become Mount R/O and selecting Permissions you will get that box where you must to check exactly what you see on 3rd screenshot, any other boxes checked you must uncheck it!

Screenshots 2 and 4 is for you to see what it happens if you try to select the Permissions when that button is R/W
[Sony Xperia L] Hellspawm:
Hello There!

I read your answer here and i was thinking to make a bootimage using skad00sh image and i replace the animation of flag with his image...you can try it to see...and if you want that image to be somewhere else and to keep as well the flag loading i can do that as well, just let me know when you want to appear skad00sh image (before Xperia logo, or between Xperia logo and Flag loading...)

I don`t think you need explications how to change it, or if so i post them on page 9 on posts 61 and 62...Cheers!
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
I am already using skad00sh image as boot logo(replacement of Sony logo) as it won't look good as a replacement of Xperia logo or flag loading. :)
[Sony Xperia L] Hellspawm:
Well...i was just saying :)

Root using this Kernel.

If I flash this Kernel and then Flash SuperSu.zip through Recovery, will it root the phone? 2ndly, The kernel will work for both 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 ? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
[Sony Xperia L] Hellspawm:
Well flash SU then go back and flash Modules... And reboot your Phone!

For 4.2.2 it works...not sure for 4.2.1 when i have 4.2.1 i didn't know about this kernel and i use different method to root...but i think it works
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
Phantom Kernel v4.1

Okay guys I am back with what I promised to you guys.

I am presenting you my most hard worked kernel ever- Phantom Kernel v4.1

Some people might think that features are a bit less compared to the time I took to make the kernel but don't worry, more features will come later and right away.

Now, skipping to the features-

1- Intelli-plug 2.0 by [MENTION=3332811]faux123[/MENTION] with optimizations made for Dual Core phones by [MENTION=4736004]Rachit Rawat[/MENTION]

I have removed Eco Mode completely as turning off one core on a dual core device will lead to heavy lags. :p

2- Overclocked up to 1.5 Ghz. For those who don't OC, don't worry as with Intelli-plug your second core won't max out and stay at your desired frequency. Also, phone boots at 1 Ghz as max frequency.

3- PS3 Controller Support(Additional module flashable zip).

4- Simple I/O Scheduler. Smooth and responsive, trusted by all. :D

5- Tweaked VM Readahead to 2048 kb(Fixes music glitches faced by some people and increases responsiveness and smoothness).

6- Voltage Control. Kernel isn't undervolted by default. You can experiment with voltages on your own risk, all controls rest in your hand. :p

7- Force 500Ma charging on unknown wall chargers and car chargers. ( Fixes charging with them)

8- Disabled Gentle Fair Sleeps and enabled ARCH_POWER. Increases responsiveness in UI and better performance.

9- Added Wheatley Governer(I don't use it anyways, still some users might like it).

10- O3 Compiler optimizations.

11- Compiled using NEON compiler optimizations which helps in boosting performance.

12- CWM in-built.

13- Stripped kernel(No useless stuff).

14- Ramdisk elements packed in XZ, smaller size and faster boot. :)

Remember to turn on Intelli Plug from Trickster Mod or some other kernel tuner otherwise I won't be responsible for battery drain

. :p

Make a boot anim without version

Can you make a bootanim without version same but with out that 3 in it ?? :)
[Sony Xperia L] Marius Cristian:
Pro:

1)15276 in Antutu benchmark(runed only once,no time)

2)Very smooth UI

3)Subway Surfers doesn't skip even a frame,works very very smooth

4)I don't know if it's just placebo effect,but touch sensitivity looks increased.

Cons:

None so far

Notes:

1)The multi touch is about the same.With 2 fingers i get about 95% of times the desired response from touch.With 3 fingers I get about 30% good response and 70% bad.I tested it with hardest game ever 2 on a level where you need to fill 3 icecoups as fast as you can,so in order to do that you must press on 3 coups at a time.

2)After about 15 minutes of playing subway and an antutu benchark score the phone heated up a lot,but i guess it's normal.however,the temperature dropped really fast after i stopped testing it's performance even if i put it on charge.

3)Wi-Fi works well !

All the best and thanks!
[Sony Xperia L] Navneet Suresh:
Nice kernel

With 1.5 GHz OC i thought my phone would become a burner :p but it seems that the kernel is nicely optimized and also deep sleep increased :good: Very impressive work [MENTION=4984300]The Dark Knight[/MENTION] a.k.a Shivam :highfive:
[Sony Xperia L] .::Ash::.:
Just flashed this kernel (4.1)

I hope it'll have a better battery backup than ThunderZap :P

Are there any other settings I must do apart from IntelliPlug to increase battery life?
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
Thanks and about multi touch, I can't do anything with it. However it's great to hear positive response from you guys. :)

Also phone is meant to heat up on higher OC frequencies. I'm testing UV and I'll reduce the voltages if kernel works better with them. I've spent a lot of time on this kernel and optimised it in the best way. As some of you might know, my aim is to make a optimised, smoother and better stock kernel instead of adding features blindly and making phone unstable.
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
First of all, just in case don't even try to compare two kernels. :)

Also intelli plug is necessary to ensure proper working of kernel. And about other settings, it's up to you to experiment and tell others about better settings.
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
I would like to ask you all the leave reviews about kernel in Reviews tab of dev-db. It'll help others too. :)
[Sony Xperia L] taylan08:
Gpu clock up to 450 mhz?
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
No I haven't added GPU OC as it doesn't helps much. I clearly stated above, I add features which are useful and actually "help". I've worked thoroughly on the kernel and decided every useful feature to be added.

Also a kind request all, please don't ask me questions which I can't answer or I don't really want to.
[Sony Xperia L] Rockmins:
I was all worried about that music glitch! Now it's gone! Thanks for that! I just flashed this kernal so I will give you a feedback soon!

How to turn on Intelli Plug from Trickster Mod ?
[Sony Xperia L] Marius Cristian:
Hello.

Install Trickster Mod app,open it,press the menu button(left top corner near android icon),go to "specific" tab(last tab) and you will find Intelli-Plug first option.Turn it on and then click the apply button.The apply button it will appear above immediately after turning Intelli-Plug on.Reboot the phone,check again to see if it worked.

Good luck!
[Sony Xperia L] R.A.B:
Okay, and for the friends of simplicity here the bootlogo based animation for this awesome kernel.. :D

How to change logo from this kernel??
[Sony Xperia L] Hellspawm:
Damn man you did great job!

Since i bought my Xperia L (5 months ago) i never had over 24 hours without to charge (i keep wifi on 18 hours every day, i am using hard FB and other app, watching video and so on) ... now i flash it 2 days ago and after over 24 hours i still have 44% battery...before to flash this kernel in less then 24 hours i run below 20%....nice work! Thanks and Thumbs Up! :D
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
It'be great if you leave your review in Review tab also. Thanls. :)

Also I would like to inform all of you guys that don't forget to turn on frequency lock in kernel tuner or Trickster Mod to avoid frequency override of Core1. Also I noticed that SIO drains battery more as compared to default CFQ.
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
Phantom Kernel v4.5

Phantom Kernel v4.5 out!

Changelog-

1- Based on latest sources by Sony 15.3.A.1.12.

2- Switched to cfq scheduler as default.(I noticed higher battery drain in sio but you still have option to use it)

3- Fixed screen tearing(Actually fixed by Sony :p ).

4- Kernel built again from scratch.

5- Few display driver and other changes done by Sony.

P.S.

Remember to enable Intelli-plug from Trickster MOD. Also, don't even dare to turn on both MP Decision and Intelli-plug at same time.

P.S.S.

Try undervolt at your own risk. Undervolt helps in saving battery and phone remains cool.

I have tested it up to -50mV. Future updates will have undervolted frequencies by default. :)

Phantom Kernel v4.5
[Sony Xperia L] varun.chitre15:
I already had posted that second core maxes out no matter what hotplug driver you use(Intelli_plug or anything else) because it has nothing to do with the hotplug mechanism. The issue lies with msm cpufreq driver. And using the frequency lock is very very temporary solution because cpu1 will start maxing out after few hours again.

This is the reason I had refactored my release into separate versions to protect hardware of users.
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
I noticed the same issue actually, that's why tried turning on Frequency lock and it was working fine for me. I also tested for a few days.

I will continue testing and if I notice further problems, I will release two versions just like you did. Thanks for information bro. :)
[Sony Xperia L] coolhz:
Mod edit: Don't quote the entire OP.

Will this work with Android 4.4?
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
No it won't work with 4.4 and the supported version is clearly mentioned in title, so stop yourself from asking such questions. Also don't quote whole OP, edit your post. :mad:
[Sony Xperia L] zacutesz:
I feel confortable with this kernel.. i love it

=====================edit===================================

when i'm trying to lock the cpu clock at 1242 its a little bit laggy even if i swipe a drawer, but when i lock the cpu clock at 1188 or 1566 is not? can you help me??

*sorry for my bad english
[Sony Xperia L] coolhz:
Sorry that was a foolish thing done by me above by mistake :pI forgot to remove the quoted text :p.

Anyways, can you please suggest any kernel which is working even though not supported for Android 4.4. Or any that's in development, are u gonna develop a 4.4 supporting kernel in near future??? :)) Because I am running a AOSP baded build and I need to flash a custom kernel for some purpose.

Thanks In advance.
[Sony Xperia L] Hackner:
So, I flashed this and noticed really fast the battery consumption improvement, really happy with it!

But I also now experience some hiccups, stutters, during music playback. it just like a tenth of a second and not so often, but annoying none the less. Am I the only?
[Sony Xperia L] allenwalker1998:
Try increasing your CPU clock speed.
[Sony Xperia L] jokerpappu:
Intelli hot plug works.the 2nd cpu does not goes max but remains same to what frequency the 1st core is in.i mean its wonderful for us.thunderzap kernel had problem of 2nd core maxing to 1.5 ghz while core 1 is on 1 ghz.bt this kernel does not hav that prob.great job dude
[Sony Xperia L] radomirek76:
Do not lie I Thunderzap and I had 2x 1.56GHz normally dude!!
[Sony Xperia L] uremytoy:
never had problems with CPU OC on TZ, sorry; always both cores stays at same frequency
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
Maybe you guys misunderstood him, he meant that if you choose 1 ghz, still your second core will go up to 1.5 ghz. Also I think we should end this discussion here and avoid comparing between two kernels. Thanks.
[Sony Xperia L] talhah sabri:
hye dark knight..can you make kernel for 4.1.2??

Please leave your response here so that it will help others too.
[Sony Xperia L] jonasdj101:
I have your kernel installed since yesterday along with stock 15.3.A.1.12. I don't know if it's the new rom build but it's a little less smooth then it used to be. I installed setcpu to play with the clockspeed but when i set it to a little higher then default (1ghz) it lagged so badly that it was barely usable :rolleyes: when i made the clockspeed lower, it didn't change anything (maybe i am doing something wrong here ;/). The scrollingspeed hower is a little improved, scrolling through lists goes a little fatser and smoother. The wake up of the phone(when the power button is pressed while inactive for a while) is much faster. Maybe all this(negative and positive changes) is due to the new update, i can't say that because i haven't used the new build with the stock kernel (yet). The new kernel logo at boot is nice btw. Still good kernel and development

[MENTION=4984300]The Dark Knight[/MENTION] I charged my phone about 15 hours ago to only 34% as I didn't had time for more.However,only 5 minutes ago I put it on charge,with 5% remaning battery.At first,I thought it's a bug but it seems that this awesome battery life was for real.It was dropping only when I was using the phone and even then,not too much.And I really used the phone(facebook,pics,messenger,a little gaming,lots of texts,phone calls)...The only thing I changed from default settings is CPU governor,I use interactive as I read it gives better performances than ondemand.CPU is at 1.56 GHz,GPU 400 Ondemand(i tried to change it to interactive too,but it just doesn't work),etc...as I said,the same.Will post later if I get the same awesome battery backup on a full charge.Thanks!
[Sony Xperia L] jonasdj101:
Still lags alot :/

I flashed everything from ftf exept userdata and then flashed this kernel. The only modifications i did were rooting, installing busybox, xposed framework, and deodexing. But something else i am overseeing may be causing the problem :/ nevermind
[Sony Xperia L] przemek4113:
I have no idea try other kernels and compare and check if the problem exist.
[Sony Xperia L] sherry_94:
I face random reboots.

....had those on thunderzap kernel too...and in stock kernel too....

So, it means sony's firmware is plagued ???

Its not kernel issue, must be some app of yours or anything else but definitely not kernel.

Had that issue on stock rom with locked bootloader....flashed fresh ftf....now no issue...had a similar issue in the dialer too

Its not the kernel fault

EDIT:

"Remember to turn on Intelli Plug from Trickster Mod or some other kernel tuner otherwise I won't be responsible for battery drain. Also, don't even dare to turn on both Intelli-plug and MP Decision at same time"

Can you explain me this point? first part is ok (turn on the intelli plug from trickster mod), how about the second one (intelli-plug and mp decision)?
[Sony Xperia L] faizalotai:
Forget about it, mp-decision already been turn off by default

I would like to submit my battery report with phantom kernel..... I was mostly at 1 Ghz with just few hours of 1.4 Ghz (but it was at deep sleep that time) .

I ve under volted it with the frequencies given in thunderzap kernel by its dev

I plugged out at 97%...... On medium usage, ie; watched movies... Did some browsing, listened to music and a random reboot once (its not related to kernel)

Now, I m on 29% with 19 hours of uptime and around 6 hours of screen use.

I dunno if its a good battery backup but that's what i got :)

[Sony Xperia L] mousemeat:
I had thunder zap working fine, then i flashed phantom kernel got bootloop and flashed thunder zap again

Thunderzap works fine
[Sony Xperia L] DsvCdsSoftware:
I always used Phantom since I moved to 4.2.2 firmware, and I think you need to wipe everything when moving from Thunderzap to Phantom, because their modules are different, I think. Some people reported that governors and other things are messed up when changing between kernels.

P.s A question to you people, are anyone having some issues related to Wifi, because sometimes when I'm turning Wifi on my phone freezes the SystemUI, but it's running the other applications (I can receive WhatsApp messages, Facebook Messenger msgs or SMS msgs). When the SystemUI crashes, the Wifi turns on and all system works fine again.
[Sony Xperia L] sherry_94:
No issues on wifi

battery question

after flashing phantom kernel

DU battery is showing

time left : 12 hours 35 mins

with 86% battery

Is this the battery backup the phone is supposed to give?

(because i think its kinda less)

inteli plug is on

frequency stock

and voltage table changed as posted by dev in thunderzap for better performance
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
Happened with me to so I just switched to thunderzap and it stopped.
[Sony Xperia L] arjit mehra:
I came from thunderzap only :/ the battery life wasn't great on it for me :s
[Sony Xperia L] jokerpappu:
ya u r right.thunderzaps battery backup is not good.phantoms is the best for now and its working so nicley without any lags
[Sony Xperia L] Redzo:
Have just flashed Phantom 4.5 and so far I am VERY happy. A great kernel and would like to thank The Dark Knight and other contributors for their great work! Now I do have one question though, when I go into trickster mode and set MP Decision to OFF and Intelli Plug to ON (as instructions on the first page say I should do) sometimes Intelli Plug reverts to OFF and MP decision goes back to ON. Same goes for CPU frequency lock, sometime it goes OFF by it's self.

Rom is stock 15.3.A.0.26, bootloader is unlocked and phone is rooted. Anybody has any idea as what might be the culprit ?
[Sony Xperia L] DsvCdsSoftware:
I didn't see this behavior on my phone, but sometimes even I locked the max frequency to 1,2GHz (1296000) sometimes my second core goes to 1.5GHz and my phone freezes a lot, only a reboot solve the problem.

Talking about your behavior, like [MENTION=5412433]faizalotai[/MENTION] said:

Doesn't matter if you turn on or off, mp-decision is turned off on kernel and intelli-plug is the default settings.
[Sony Xperia L] sherry_94:
Can someone help me in this case..google services use up more battery than screen :confused: I dont use maps , play store , or any other google service ...so why this abnormal battery delay....i dont overclock.

I understand the kernel is not the culprit here....can someone help me ???
[Sony Xperia L] DsvCdsSoftware:
Verify your sync information, or do a full charge on battery and use the phone until zero percent, charge again and see.

Anyway, maybe a wipe cache and dalvik could solve the problem...
[Sony Xperia L] mousemeat:
Yep, that was it , I wipe and cleaned everything , works fine now. Thanks man!

[Sony Xperia L] Redzo:
Any chance of having 1.24Ghz of this kernel ? Have experienced some strange maxing to 1566 with it regardless of trickser mod settings. Maybe hardcoded versions of kernel can get around it ? And by that I mean having different versions of it, like 1.24Ghz, 1Ghz, 1.4Ghz well you get the picture ;) Would that be too much work The Dark Knight ?
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
The next version(if there would be any) will have two versions. One with max 1 ghz and other with 1.4 ghz max frequencies.

if you backup and remove "Update Center" via Flashtool or any appremover app, you cant get this update info.I do like that, and i use Phantom Kernel greatly.I think i will not get any problem in time, right?
