Yes should I try reinstalling with advanced recovery checked

Edit- gamma fine after installing advanced recovery....cheers
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Kocane:
Thanks for the new version. AlNikki, I know this is probably out of your hands, but is there something that can be done about suspend_backoff when wifi on?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] mankent7:
here to report bugs wifi mac address issue same as xzk v23.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] alnikki25k:
Unfortunately, no

Acknowledged. Will fix it soon :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Hellscythe:
Is this the issue where WiFi drops out and then the network can't be found anymore?

Also, apologies for posting this link here, but if i ask it here directly i believe it is clogging the thread

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/help/kernel-question-devs-t2699389

question is regarding wifi in custom kernels, thanks!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Taejilovely:
Double tap to wake on zxkernel v23 working perfect but on this kernel sometimes it's not working.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] mankent7:
no i report the issue is the wifi mac address, means we all using same mac address if flashed this kernel.

for your issue maybe you can change your wifi channel in your router and have a try.

Hi [MENTION=4645070]alnikki25k[/MENTION], I hope all has been great with you!

Trying v5 on eXistenz Black 6.0 after actively using XzK v23 for a while (a very satisfied user here), everything looks good so far. Excited to try the new preserving cpu governor, will report for battery time after one recharge/discharge. One quick question: I notice that there isn't Eco mode for the cpu, is this somehow connected to the CpuQuiet PM? Also I'd like to ask does CpuQuiet cover the missing IntelliPlug hotplug management? ( kinda noobish questions, but I am not sure, i guess it's CpuQuiet Power Management = hotplug + temperature management)

Thanks in advance,

Kind regards.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Kocane:
I was wondering, people who use eco mode.. isnt it a bit waste of a fast phone to only use 2 cores or is it just good enough?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] mankent7:
Actually what i concern about the eco mode is battery saving. since some of us bought xperia z for it's camera or waterproof or it's design. and we hope it battery can last longer. they might not need 4 core to make voice call or check email.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] airlessproject:
Of course it's battery-wise, and I'd rather not use Eco mode, but just wanted to ask for testing purposes, to see how much it really saves the battery. I also play with 0,1,2 values of core grouping power-saving feature, for the same purpose, to see the maximum battery life I can get out of my toy, then of course I'll settle for some balanced combination of features, of course, I want my phone snappy and fast.

Thanks for your answers, mates.. I'll do a detailed rundown of my battery these days and post if there's some interesting findings, battery/performance-wise.

Regards
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Kocane:
please, do report back on how much battery it saves, incase u do some testing

Here's a report of a normal day of moderate use (~3h screen time). Using XzInnere v5, undervolted to -150mV, a bit overclocked to 1.7 GHz, preservative governor with 100 threshold, GPU underclocked to 320 using interactive governor. Phone is pretty snappy, I didn't experience no glitches or lags.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Kocane:
I tried with -150mV, even -100mV but it wasnt long before i got reboots and such.. Does undervolt cause reboots or just freeze? Screen went black atleast..

Also, what is your experience with GPU governor? You know what difference between interactive and ondemand is?

Maybe one should use Faux to set per-app settings, so one can underclock the gpu but make it use higher clocks when playing games etc, if thats possible ... Dunno how big the battery saving would be.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] joejoe23:
Alnikki, Im still getting lockscreen hanging issue. And at times when I pull out my phone, thers like 8 apps opened. Can you make one without touch wake if it's not a trouble?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] airlessproject:
I really don't know if those reboots came from undervolting.. I don't have such problems, even with -150mV..

I have only recently tried interactive governor, and it seems to be more power-saving thus a bit less responsive than ondemand (I think comparison can be drawn to the CPU governors of the same name).

I haven't used per-app settings, since I don't really need them because I don't play much games, mostly everything I do is 2D, so interactive 320 mhz seems enough to be glitch-free.

Hi mate.

Have you tried turning s2w & dt2w off in trickster? I just tried that and it works...
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] joejoe23:
That's the first thing I did after installing the kernel. But I'm not on the kernel anymore after a fresh install of existenz.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] airlessproject:
Sorry, I'm a bit confused.. did it not work when you did that?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] joejoe23:
Im still experiencing lockscreen hanging after I disabled dt2w and s2w. Had no problems using older xzkernel with no touch wake.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] airlessproject:
Oh, now I see..

this is dev's field of knowledge :) I'm sure he'll come up with something..

Hope you'll fix your problem soon..

All the best :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] joejoe23:
I'm just asking if it's not a trouble to make another version without touch wake.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] hussainr:
I have problem lately, when using your kernels or doom's, my ram gets full after couple of hours which make it impossible to use the phone, forces me to reboot.

I dont have this problem on doom's advt kernel. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

I will provide logcat when I reach my pc.

And thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Kocane:
Hey AlNikki. I'm having some weird reboots sometimes. This morning I also had a black screen it'd seem, after a long while. Maybe the problems are related.

This reboot happened while I was browsing the play store.. Just suddenly, bam.

Yes you can, but you should update to. 101 or, correct me if i'm wrong, you'll have broken sensors (gyroscope etc..)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] to_arif92:
Please make a stable kernel !!!! At least make a non-touch2wake version .......I am not being able to find any way to disable it permanently..... & Even if I disable it using Trickster MOD it shows that it is disabled but it wasn't ............I love your kernel feature but wasn't able to use it though only because of it ...... Eats more battery + if i put my cell on pocket the screen gets unusable because of touch2wake :eek:

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] NetSkill:
Can i ask? What is the best cpu governor for everyday use? I dont mean any extra battery saving..i want just balanced between perf/battery

Odoslané z C6603 pomocou Tapatalku
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] airlessproject:
I did a full battery drain test with XzInnere installed and preservative CPU governor, it turned out very good, very balanced, smooth and low power consumption. You could try it for yourself and see if it will help.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] NetSkill:
Thanks for reply ...but this governor causing reboot when i use camera ..not allways but sometimes it reboot
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] airlessproject:
You could try ondemand or interactive then...
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Kocane:
Which do you use?

Edit: nvm, preservative I see.. I fiddled around with governors and to me it seems like preservative had a tendency to "idle" at 702mhz rather than 384?

Also, Im crossing fingers that this is gone now that I went back to XzKernel but just before I got this massive amount of cpu usage (30%+) from "Android System" - most specifically system_server - and I just couldn't pinpoint what did it. Only a reboot helped but even then it suddenly happened, not long after again. Could be my install that is botched but I'm just too lazy for factory reset :(
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] alnikki25k:
System_server is an old Sony Stock 4.3 bug. It caused massive memory leaks in the Z1 firmware. So yes, that may occur even with Stock kernel. But not always
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Kocane:
Im not sure about memory leak, this seemed more like a cpu issue?

Hi dev & all

Attached are logs after a sudden reboot which happened shortly after changing CpuQuiet setting to runnable and before that cpu governor to performance, oc'd @1.7GHz, and disabling temperature throttle.

Hope this will help in tracking and debugging this issue,

Kind regards
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] alnikki25k:
Yes, but the system-server problem is prevalent in 4.3. Both CPU and memory are exhausted

No Ex-FAT yet, will push the changes in the next release

Ah, runnable might have a NULL reference tucked away somewhere. Will check, thank you
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] airlessproject:
Hey [MENTION=4645070]alnikki25k[/MENTION], I hope all is well.

A reboot happened using XzInnere while I was talking on skype, the device was hot and I suppose this was some kernel panic on high cpu or phone temperature..

Attached are logs taken immediately after the reboot, you could see if the reboot was kernel related..

All the best!

Nice one
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] kingrion88:
Alnikki said he won't be adding double tap to wake features in this kernel as the function is pretty much buggy and he personally would like to keep this kernel simple as possible. Seriously, it is rude to ask multiple of times when he already said he wont include d2wake.

Currently testing out this kernel, somehow undervolt could not go lower than -50mv? But in your to-do list will lower 600 mv, so it's fine. Will test the battery life and report later.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] bern4d1:
can I use this kernel on locked bootloader by flashing through CWM?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Kocane:
Except that he didn't say so, so no, no one is being rude.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] alnikki25k:
I am working on fixing the tap2wake. If it works out fine, I'll implement it here. :thumbup:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] kingrion88:
After tested this kernel, I have to say the battery life is really good. 5 hours SOT (screen on time) with no underclock+volt, smartmax+sio and ondemand. Although the other v20 kernel with intelli-plug + eco-mode can push further (perhaps 5.45-6 hours SoT), but in terms of smoothness, it is lacking. Bottom line, i like this kernel a lot. Also, somehow the android OS wakelock is not noticeable anymore. In fact, I don't face any other bugs atm.

To the person who quoted me, I've been following alnikki kernel for quite awhile and I don't speak unless its fact; nuff said. If you think what you did isn't rude, I doubt i could change your mind and also couldn't be bothered to argue in the internet. Lastly i will not speak unnecessarily other than development issue, fair enough? Now, lets just ignore each other.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] alnikki25k:
Haha. Calm down guys. No one's being rude to anyone. I respect everyone's opinion. So the tap2wake card's still on the table. As I said, if I can make it more stable, I'll put it in right away :D
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Kocane:
I don't quite understand what your problem is. If he outright had said "no tap2wake in this kernel" then I would respect it. But he said that he MAY not include it. [pay attention to the word "may"]. Which is where I let my personal opinion be heard which may cause him to include it. If no one "protested" then he wouldn't include the different features.

Now please stop calling me a rude person without any proper reason. Thats what I would call rude.

[MENTION=4645070]alnikki25k[/MENTION]: sounds good hehe ;).. I just today began to use gammacontrol to remove some of the blueness which I feel the Xperia Z got. Very nice! Definitely hoping for that in this kernel aswell. But I must still say, in XzKernel I do not get the same performance with ondemand as I get with intellidemand. Isn't that very weird?

Thanks! But V2 twrp is still not working, symlink error =((Only when I just flashed the boot.img and full wipe). If i flash the kernel.zip before i flash the rom, then it works.(EDIT: stucked in bootloop, I'll stick to CWM then.)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] ehmjay:
Noob alert :D

So to flash this, first I have to unlock bootloader right?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] MR.Samo:
Right... This is the first thing u need to do in this section of development.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Kocane:
[MENTION=4645070]alnikki25k[/MENTION], do I need to use Trickster to set the CPUquiet load_stats? I cant find the option in Faux. Or does it automatically set it without the apps?

Also, I really don't get how SmartMax (and other governors like it) doesn't deliver as good FPS in games as for example Intellidemand. Interactive runs good too. Shouldn't Smartmax just kick up the performance to max when inside a game? It just keeps running with lower fps and more stuttering than the other governors. I see that Interactive is less good for battery but how does it compare to intellidemand, do you know? Maybe the performance of Interactive is just worth the extra battery loss. I mean, why have a quadcore phone if one configures it to run slower :P

Also, I'll be donating when I get the chance. Tried before but Paypal is blocking Indian users from receiving money for the time being - not sure why.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] bioan:
[MENTION=4645070]alnikki25k[/MENTION] - I'm sorry to say, but with the provided settings the phone is awfully slow. I still think the best combo for performance and battery wise is a tuned Interactive governor with row scheduler.

If the phone is slow -> more processing -> more battery eaten. ( The higher frequencies are used)

Thank you!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Kocane:
Thanks for the tip. Sometimes I don't get the things people go thru to get more battery. Using "Eco Mode" and such. Why have a quadcore if one limits it to two cores, lol. Different priorities I suppose. Personally I got amazing snappy performance with intellidemand, but apparently everyone hates that so it's not included :D
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] alnikki25k:
Noted. Will port franco interactive and Ak's intellidemand
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] alnikki25k:
Also change it to ondemand GPU governor. Disable simple GPU governor.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] FateNozomi:
[MENTION=4645070]alnikki25k[/MENTION] Is it me or trickster mod gamma settings does not stick? And the V2 has not fixed TWRP right? This kernel is awesome, thank you so much :good:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] alnikki25k:
TricksterMOD Gamma settings have never worked unfortunately. You'll have to use Faux's kernel enhancement app. Also, TWRP should be fixed after flashing v2. I mean the new TWRP recovery is in v2. So after flashing v2 through CWM, the new recovery shouldn't be giving you any errors.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] FateNozomi:
Ahh, I see. Well I tested v2, TWRP is still giving symlink errors =/. I'm sticking to Phliz-touch for now.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] alnikki25k:
Sure? I just flashed using TWRP and no errors came up.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] FateNozomi:
Yes, I'm sure. Really sure. As I mentioned before in the previous reply. First I fastboot the boot.img from your kernel and boot into TWRP recovery, then full wipe including system. No error came up when I flash the XzL-v2 first then the rom BUT WILL STUCK IN BOOTLOOP. If I flash the rom first, ERROR occurs. But Philz Touch is working fine.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] petrifyre:
I think you must flash the zip file in cwm/twrp cause in the zip file came with system file (drivers module etc) together with the boot.img while fastbooting only flashing the boot.img without those files.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Kocane:
[MENTION=4645070]alnikki25k[/MENTION]: Talking about this is probably like beating a dead horse, but the dreaded msm_hsic_host wakelock - is it ever gonna be fixable by us? Or is it up to Google/Sony? I mean, that thing is expert in keeping my phone out of deepsleep.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] FateNozomi:
Tried that too, same case. I always try everything before reporting =(
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] alnikki25k:
No clue. To be honest that is killing all qualcomm devices at the moment.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] alnikki25k:
For now use philz Cwm. Try flashing thr next version in twrp and let me know. Also do you by any chance have nut's dual recovery?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Kocane:
Gotta say... These devices got quite some embarrassing issues!

I'm not sure it's relevant for our device but I think I saw some kernel that had that wakelock more under control but with the cost of data dropout or something like that...?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] alnikki25k:
Yup. This issue is because of the way the 3G/LTE modem is connected. Internally, it is connected through a USB interface. That means it causes the same wakelocks as connecting a USB drive/USB device to the phone. If you try to stop it, the modem is powered down and no more data.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] FateNozomi:
Nope. Even If I have it, I'll use the one that comes with the kernel. Take your time fixing it =) Thank you for your reply too!

Phone not waking and ringing when setting an alarm

Hi [MENTION=4645070]alnikki25k[/MENTION],

First of all, thank you so much for your hard and awesome work! Really appreciate it!

Now, with both this kernel and Xzk I've been experiencing a strange behavior when setting an alarm: the phone does not "wake up" and ring appropriately. Actually I did not wake up for two times! :)

Any hint or suggestion? May it be a kernel bug or what? With stock kernel I've never experienced that. Pls. advise.

Thank you so much!

Have a great day. :good:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Kocane:
How retarded... But I assume then using 2g will "fix"? I tried using Toggle2G which automatically sets the phone to 2g when screen off and over the course of some 7 hours during the night, there has been a 10 min wakelock by msm_hsic_host.

Not really a fix but anything to avoid that insane battery drain.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] alnikki25k:
That's weird indeed. Let me try with my phone and see if anything occurs.

Also thanks for the donation, much appreciated Paulo :thumbup::D

EDIT: Just tried, it worked :rolleyes:
