Wow work in first shot u r great

thanks again

u saved my phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Anthonicia:
That's great! Glad to help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] evilvoice:
Why not post so everyone can have the image in case of brick? I've been looking for this to have as a backup just in case
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Anthonicia:
You can make your own if you follow the link op posted in his instructions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ecs87:
So...will SOMEONE post a working image? Lol. I don't have a N900P but I'd like to keep a running archive of unbrick images (in addition to space hogging firmwares) in my mediafire account to post links to. This way it'll keep the consistency of image size and contents; and most importantly people won't need to wait for it to be generated/uploaded.

Sent from my SPH-L900. Please hit the thanks button if I helped you out!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Anthonicia:
I cannot upload the actual file because it is too big (52mb). I sent you a pm. If you can upload it to a file share site and post it here that's cool. Just don't like uploading it from personal dropbox, they don't like me posting files to public sites for some reason.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ecs87:
I had a Derpbox before. Hated it. Ran out of bandwidth within the first week of posting the L900 MK4 Odin file...psch. Switched to Mediafire and never looked back. Thanks for the file by the way. Got it hosted and here it is: https://www.mediafire.com/?8bruhax81uud9dj

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djsubtronic:
Hello

I am new to this forum and am a long time CM user which I am using on my phone at the moment. However, having discovered the aggressive thermal throttling on this phone (CPU-intensive tasks seem to throttle the max CPU speed down to 1190 MHz very very quickly, before the phone even gets warm), I'm trying to find a custom kernel that will work with CM. I don't care about any fancy features such as S2W or DT2W and if the kernel allows these to be disabled then that would be even better. Basically looking for a reliable, stable kernel that can be configured to be as close to stock as possible, but which would stop the aggressive thermal throttling.

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipTD:
Hi, and Welcome!

I'm afraid that your post likely will be considered a "Best ROM or kernel" thread which is not allowed. It's usually suggested that you go over to the development forum and try out kernels for yourself because everybody's needs are different, and so on.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Only Chaos kernel is compatiblewith CM atm afaik because its a CAF based kernel.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djsubtronic:
I probably will do that, but I thought this might not fall in the realm of "best kernel" because I have listed some specific criteria...

I'll give that a try. From browsing earlier I noticed that n30Hammer and ElementalX have separate links for CM11, I figured they would be compatible.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipTD:
Oh, believe me, I think your post is fine. I just wanted to give you a polite heads-up before the more zealous members started chiming in.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hi,

Yes they are compatible too, for ElementalX choose the right version. Both have thermal settings.

There is also: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2649458 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2633955 (almost the same kernels apart the Toolchain), compatible with CM/CM based rom with thermal control too.

:)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
All you do is make it "best kernel for specific criteria" then. Mods see it all as the same thing.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djsubtronic:
I'm giving ElementalX a try for now. The mods can feel free to close this thread if they see fit.

Thanks for all the replies.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistahseller:
before this gets locked you need a CAF kernel, Chaos kernel comes to mind, they do nice work. Comes with NXT tweaks which allows you to customize almost everything including temp.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zz_marcello:
I tried all possible CM11 kernels and Chaos kernel has in my opinion a very nice CPU load management.

Other kernels will stay for several seconds in max frequency after a power demand which result in higher CPU battery drain.

Bricked kernel was also excellent in that field and super responsive but the developer takes a break at the moment so the kernel is not usable for the CAF Version of CM after 25.01.14 without further modding and the AOSP mod for CM CAF is producing some weird behavior on my phone so I go for Chaos and CM at the moment.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djsubtronic:
I found Elemental would keep upping the minimum CPU to 1267 instead of 300, so at the moment I'm trying out NexXxt as [MENTION=2920816]viking37[/MENTION] linked above, and using Trickster to configure the temps it seems to be working pretty good.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
It's normal, it's how Mpdecision from Qualcomm works (for smoothness purpose). Each time you touch the screen the min CPU freq is increased to 1,26 Ghz. In fact the apps reads this at the min CPU freq because you touch the screen to open it. When you stop to touch the screen the min CPU freq will go back to 300 Mhz, the app needs to update the reading of the min CPU freq too but with Trickser Mod it seems it stuck at 1.26 Ghz all the time (for the reading only) but your min CPU freq is 300 Mhz when you don't touch the screen. You will see better this behavior with an app with "live reading CPU freq" like PerfMon or System Monitor.

You can use the "lock frequency" setting in Trickster Mod after set your min CPU freq to 300Mhz, if you want.

:)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Not good option. Only locks core 0. Core 1 still affected.

Only full workaround is delete /system/lib/hw/power.msm8974.so
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hi,

Yep, right :)

Old thinking that is income :(, sorry for the mistake. I edited my post :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djsubtronic:
Just thought I'd report back, been using NexXxt with custom thermal config using Trickster, and have had no problems at all, great battery life and no more throttling.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Ah no problem :)

Thank you very much for your work. a question, is it odex or deodex rom?

Great to see new roms around here :thumbup:

Downloading now.

What kernel I should flash?
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Deodexed. Hence why the ROM can be modified
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
If you are on stock it won't require one. If not flash XZKERNEL from Alnikki25k

Thats not needed brother.. Its kinda Off Topic... Every one hav their own tastes... Better leave it and try to Taste The Rom...
[Xperia Z Android Development] Kocane:
I don't find it offtopic to talk about the topic. Smacking a 2000px and 3mb image in peoples faces is hardly nessesary.

I found the first problem: when I open the camera the phone reset.

I did wipe data and cache and the problem continues. Any idea?

Thanks.

Phone reset? Anyone can anyone else confirm?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Mackay53:
Yeah I'm the same, phone resets
[Xperia Z Android Development] Gio_ital:
No problem here. Everything works great and smooth. Thank you dev.

I'll give feedback later about battery life and if I will find a issue

3D sound effects do not show up. ZeroInfinity said on his thread it doesn't rename anything just the sound technology is changed when playing music.

I'm using this kernel http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2409003 and I don't have any problem.
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Any themes, mods or features please add into the request tab found on XDA DevDB

Also my tester sent me screenshot as his Camera is working too
[Xperia Z Android Development] Gio_ital:
My camera works :D
[Xperia Z Android Development] The Big Z:
I was using this other kernel (C6603_10.4.1.B.0.101_Stripped.ftf (17MB)) when I installed the Excelsus ROM because I had installed the latest firmware released by Sony. I'm sorry but I needed the camera and I have reinstalled by recovery a copy of the stock rom 10.4.1.B.0.101 developed by NUT, so I can´t perform test that ask me with 10.4.B.0.569 kernel. My bootloader is locked.

I'm sorry but I can not do the tests you ask me right now, i'll try to do it later, when I have some time and i don´t need the camera.

Thanks for all.

Regards.
[Xperia Z Android Development] jai554:
So far the ROM is very smooth and lag free...

The problem i am experiencing now is lag in Subway Surf game... or maybe the game is stutering... idk :3

lastly my request is add more camera addon such as background defocus, timeshift and many more into the system partition... maybe in ur future update? hehe

Thanks btw!
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
Problem is with the Subway Surf game.. Its lags in eXistenZ ROM Too.. May b the Game Developer will Update the Game soon
[Xperia Z Android Development] Gladyator23:
+1 :confused:
[Xperia Z Android Development] Hellscythe:
yeah locked bootloader cannot change kernels unless it is an official sony signed kernel
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
TimeShift is in MyHub. Will also add the other one too.

Also I think I've fixed that camera issue I'll upload fix later today
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
Hello

Downloaded and Flashed,,, :good:

All Features are Working For Me. No Force Close or Any Other Problems...

Only First Time My Device Rebooted When I Tried to Open The Camera. After Clearing Data from Settings / All Camera Related Apps Its started to work...

Xperia Z Locked Bootloader With .101 Kernel.... :good::good:
[Xperia Z Android Development] matlear:
Random reboots for me on this, coming from rooted 4.2.2

factory reset, flashed rom, flashed kernel..

Cant get past setup screen withouth device rebooting ?

On a C6603 with LB
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
That's not the ROM problem. You have to upgrade to 4.3 correctly if on LB. Look at [NUTS] Thread for his 4.3 upgrade tutorial.
[Xperia Z Android Development] matlear:
Just updated to nut's 101 from 4.2.2 rooted following his guide. Everything working great... Downloaded your 101 onto internal sd and rebooted into recovery - wipe data factory reset - flash your rom - reboot system - and I get reboot after 3rd step in setup menu.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Mackay53:
I used to get the random reboots as well but they eventually stop, the camera reboot bug is still present even when the related camera apps data is cleared
[Xperia Z Android Development] FrankJHTC:
If you have fix it a try install the rom egain..

PureXAudio or SRS?

Which sounds better with the stock earphones?

Thanks! :)
[Xperia Z Android Development] Spitfire400:
Are You Sure It Works LB?

Have tried flashing this clean after setting up phone on 4.3, flashed .67 firmware, DoomLord root used, then dual recovery, then updated to 10.4.B.0.569 using [NUT] method. Reboot into recovery, nandroid backup done, flashed ROM from internal SD, stuck in Bootloop. Restored from nandroid, flashed ROM for external SD, stuck in Bootloop, tried both CWM and TWRP. Keeps getting stuck in Bootloop. Gave up, will await fix/update as having different ROM to try on LB XZ would be great.
[Xperia Z Android Development] bern4d1:
I don't think so. I'm on locked bootloader and yesterday I tried to install this ROM and I can't even pass the setup screen. It rebooted before I can reached the homescreen.
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Looking for a themer for my ROM please PM me
[Xperia Z Android Development] MinnesotaVikings1961:
Does this ROM have the function to get back X-reality & Bravia Engine as some others do?
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Yes it does. I have my Bravia still here
[Xperia Z Android Development] Techpenguin5:
Im using an unlocked bootloader and when entering the camera the phone reboots itself :(
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:

Sirius Ui and new version live. Camera fixed for LB
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
[MENTION=4962997]StarFighter[/MENTION] bro

Thanks for the Quick Update.. Can u show some Screenshots of the Sirius UI ? Sorry for my bad English
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
It's not the official one. Just teeming from what I have seen from the Sirius videos. Like the new toggles, transparent dock and app drawer background and navigation keys. Also bootanimation and battery icon.
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
That awsom... Keep up the good work.... :thumbup:
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Do you think if we ask the guy who has the Sirius for the system dump we can do a port?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Rajeev:
I think u can do that. But honestly i don't know anything about Porting. Just ask him permission and try bro. U can do that....

[Xperia Z Android Development] MinnesotaVikings1961:
Thanks, will test!

Do I need to flash a kernel using flashtool?
[Xperia Z Android Development] Mackay53:
You shouldn't need to flash it if you were already on a stock 4.3 10.4.1.B.0.101 ROM. Just flash the stock kernel anyway, cant do any harm

download too low..

is there no chance of a highspeed mirror like mega
[Xperia Z Android Development] DesertHawk:
Mirror is correct. I removed the Google Drive one. Also the person who had reboot errors on the latest build remember to flash XZKernel 22.5.zip

Ok so it will only work with 1.0 installed before hand. That's weird as that launcher works for me here

its from the launcher i delete the home from 1.5 under /system/app and copy the home.apk from first version 1.0 in 1.5
