The logo doesn't appear because the kernel is based on cm10.1 sources which haven't been rebased on 4.3 sources. ( Sony logo also doesn't appear with cm10.1 stock kernel )

For now you have to use this method to downclock the second core : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53035278&postcount=125

I know it's complicated. Previous versions had a better way to do this but I removed it because I thought we didn't need it. I'm sorry for that and It will be back in the next versions.

[MENTION=4466123]pec0ra[/MENTION]

My first time flashing Williams and it feels awesome at this moment. Some minor complaints though:

1) The included TWRP 2.6.3.0 is buggy. Responds bizarrely to touch and tilt actions (e.g. often recognizes my tap actions as "back" or "home"), which makes it very hard to flash multiple ZIPs. Also, during a flashing progress, it seems to complete prematurely and gives me a "FINISHED" sign, but then afterwards the flashing still goes on. Hopefully CWM can replace it.

2) Running AnTuTu "hard reboots" the phone when testing CPU. Not a big deal, but because I flash Williams for that extra performance, I'd like to see it in a benchmark for sure.

3) White boot screen of course. I respect your personal preference (old school HTC fxxk yeah), but is there at least a way to change that screen by ourselves, without having to compile from your source?

BTW, can the WiFi/BT fix be included in the kernel package next time? Thank you for your time.
[Xperia SP Android Development] sarkar1990:
I don't have this problem on Nayak kernel or stock, and I want the smartassv2 so badly. But it's still a no go. Try it after every nightly and sadly keep returning to the stock kernel every single time.

Hey [MENTION=4466123]pec0ra[/MENTION] i know antutu is not the most important thing, but can you have a look on [MENTION=3902513]karthiknayak94[/MENTION] kernel? because on this kernel antutu dont crashes. if i run antutu without the cpu test it will pass. so it should be something with the "cpu settings" that you have made. and btw thx for your great kernel.

edit:

can it be that it have something to do with dynamic fsync or the changed cpu frequencies?

[Xperia SP Android Development] pec0ra:
You shouldn't have overheat problem with custom mp_decision and intelliactive governor. In heavy usage, try to underclock of you still experience overheat. Undervolting might also help.

I already tried a few weeks ago but it was too complicated to port. Plus the 10 second delay version is totally useless.
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
Could you stop flickering screen in next version please, in Stock kernel .205 Sony fixed that ;)

Strange how people complain about problems with this kernel, as I'm having absolutely none of the above mentioned.

[Xperia SP Android Development] nplezka:
Fix doesn't work on latest nightly due to a modification on kernel and wifi module
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gamm86:
The fix in this thread is only to be used with this kernel, Williams, not the standard kernel included in CM11 Nightly.

Your comment therefor doesn't contribute anything... ;)
[Xperia SP Android Development] nplezka:
Goodmorning, I now that, I use it since its release. But due to the modifications done to the newest nightly the fix doesnt' work anyway. I'm not a developer and I can't use the exact terminology, but I saw in changelog yesterday: "huashan: Remove WiFi confi, already in vendor" and I think here it's the problem. We talked about it in CM11 thread
[Xperia SP Android Development] Dragonkind:
And I have also noticed this:

huashan: Unify with blue-common kernel

The kernel is changed to the same as Xperia T/TX/V, which use MSM8x60 as their processors.
[Xperia SP Android Development] nplezka:
Right, I think it's better wait to a new Williams release. For now it's only good to downgrade our kernel. FauxSound can wait...

Antutu still crashes?
[Xperia SP Android Development] nevadasaga:
OK.. Disabling mpdecision is somekind fix reboot..

But i tried use trickster mod to disable mpdecision and reboot, mpdecision turn on again.. even set on boot.. is there any chance to disable it 'permanently'?

One more thing, whenever i reboot the CPU freq blows up to 1.8 Ghz(OC-ing) automatically.. somehow set on boot doesn't work again (i tested with faux kernel enhancement).. In the next build for MIUI kernel, would you like to make the freq at 281 Mhz for min and 1.6 Ghz for max :angel::angel: .. Thanks..:laugh:
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gamm86:
No wifi and bluetooth on Vanir. Flashing fixed modules didn't solve the issue.

Also, Antutu still crashes.

Back to v3.1 .....
[Xperia SP Android Development] pec0ra:
There is a way. You can rename the binary. Take a look at the FAQ.

Have you tried setting frequency with trickster mod ? It always worked for me...

V4 is based on latest cm sources so it's possible that it won't work with 4.4.2 based roms. Use v3.1 there's almost nothing different.
[Xperia SP Android Development] moe111:
i am using 4.4.4 carbon
[Xperia SP Android Development] therightperson_630:
Not sure how you guys get this kernel working...Every. Single. Time. I try to flash this kernel on a 4.4 rom I get the colour fading reboot at every boot, whether it be the first boot, or the second boot, seconds later, at any moment it'll give me that colour fade reboot.. for the love of god could someone advise me on how to get rid of this?

The changelog looks good, the comments seem nice and I'm sure the performance must be incredible...but that's worth jack if it keeps rebooting everytime a rom loads up. Help please.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gamm86:
Which ROM are you using?
[Xperia SP Android Development] nevadasaga:
Sorry sir my bad, i didn't allow Trickster mod to 'auto-run' it for 'set on boot'.. So it works right now.. Check Security>>Permission>> Auto run app manager>> Allow Trickster mod on MIUI
[Xperia SP Android Development] Dragonkind:
Hey, the CPU frequency with smaryassv2 and lionheart likely will not decrease...

I have observed for one minutes after booting, it always kept on the max frequency.

Maybe there will be something wrong.
[Xperia SP Android Development] pec0ra:
It might take more than one minute after booting for the cpu load to decrease. Have you retried after 5-10 minutes ?! How is it with other governors ?
[Xperia SP Android Development] therightperson_630:
Any 4.4.4 rom, whether it be Vanir, Mokee or Mahdi. Nayak kernel v1/testv2 works much better but doesn't have wifi, so using nayak v0.3 is my only option. using the kernels which come with the roms it's either laggy, has random freezes or even reboots by itself. quite disappointed.

I always clean install to avoid random errors.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Dragonkind:
Uhh...I don't test it for longer time.

But with interactive, intellidemand and ondemand, the governor worked fine.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gamm86:
So even v3.1 didn't work properly? (including fixes for wifi and bluetooth)

I am on Vanir and it works without any issues, except for Antutu, which crashes.
[Xperia SP Android Development] therightperson_630:
yeah same issue with v3.1, wifi and bluetooth wasn't the issue.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gamm86:
Do you use flashtool or fastboot to flash your kernel?

I always recommend fastboot!

Also, if you use fastboot, try using the command "fastboot reboot" to restart your phone and only then plug out your phone.

I've heard cases where this caused similar issues.

If that doesn't sort your problems, I really don't know what else could.

Hopefully someone else is able to help you but my "solution" is surely worth a try, should you not already have done it as I explained.

Hey, I have installed this ROM and the phone overheat really fast

when I use this phone for about 5 mins only, it overheats
[Xperia SP Android Development] pec0ra:
Do you mind sharing your setting ?

Mine doesn't overheat with these settings but maybe my use is lighter than yours.
[Xperia SP Android Development] ironshadow2:
same settings but using ondemand governor
[Xperia SP Android Development] ironshadow2:
it overheat 1 degree every 2 minutes. and even faster when browsing.

please help, this is really annoying
[Xperia SP Android Development] pec0ra:
If overheat is really a concern then use intelliactive governor and tune its highspeed freq to about 1 GHz.

If this still isn't sufficient then consider underclocking your cpu. It won't overheat at 1.5 GHz.

Our phone has always overheat problem when the cpu is running on both cores at 1.7 GHz. The only difference between one kernel or rom to another is in how frequently the cores will be at this frequency. Some roms put more load and the cpu, thus more overheat. The kernel will let you choose governors (or mpdecision) which will react differently to the load. If you use ondemand (One of the most aggressive governor) and you are on CM which, if I remember right, had always overheat. Then it is normal that your phone gets hot.

The only thing I could do to avoid overheat is to clock the cpu in one way or another.

Another way which could work ( I'm not really sure ) is undervolting the cpu (less voltage, less heat) but I don't think we can undervolt a lot the 1.7GHz step.
[Xperia SP Android Development] ironshadow2:
thnx man, but when I enable mpdecision , I can not underclock the second core. Is it possible to underclock the second core when the mpdecision is enabled ?
[Xperia SP Android Development] pec0ra:
Sure you can ! :)

[Xperia SP Android Development] AndyYan:
Tried out V4 and WiFi works out of the box when paired with CM11. However, early complaints/suggestions still apply:

1) The included TWRP is buggy and nearly unusable. Random clicks and operations everywhere. CWM is included so no biggies though.

2) AnTuTu crash. Sometimes even SetCPU would crash. Would love to see it solved or at least see an explanation.

3) White "Williams" boot screen and LED blink color - can I modify these?

Other than these, this kernel is as good as it can get for daily use. Thanks [MENTION=4466123]pec0ra[/MENTION]
[Xperia SP Android Development] pec0ra:
Thank you for the list :)

1) It's because it also catches the glovemode touch detector I think. Do you have another recovery to suggest ? (Link ? )

2) These reboots are either because of mpdecision or overclock. I'll run some test in end of August to try to fix that.

3) You can change it by extracting the elf, changing the logo and blink2.sh in the ramdisk and repacking it.
[Xperia SP Android Development] AndyYan:
1) If a fix isn't possible, just remove TWRP, I guess... CWM is good enough.

(on a side note, why was PhilZ removed in V4?)

2) Take your time, AnTuTu is not a big deal. I'll try removing mpdecision binaries to see if that would help.

3) Thanks for showing me how to do it, will learn and try... (limited kernel knowledge)

Sent from Google Nexus 4 @ CM11
[Xperia SP Android Development] pec0ra:
I heard PhilZ caused baseband problems. In next version I'll probably try to include the 3 of them and put CWM as default since it seems to be the most stable.

If you want Antutu reboot your phone, clock it down to 1.1 GHz or lower with intelliactive governor, open the back cover and put it in a fresh environment (not on a bed or in your hand for example) and wait for about 2-3 minutes. After this, put the cpu settings you want, go to Antutu and let it run ! That's how I had my results.

Edit : Doesn't work anymore, now the problem is at 27% and the phone just shuts down.

The trickiest part for editing ramdisk is to find the right tool. There are several, some work, some don't work and some work if you take care of everything.

Generally I use build_tools from Doomlord to unpack ramdisks and I pack mine with android kitchen. MP me if you have questions or problems.
