[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

In CyanogenMod 11 for example you can install custom themes after flashing the ROM! And there are many themes out there in the Themes section of S4 Forum, you might want to take a look. Believe me, the ROM color won't be any problem hahaha! There's plethora of themes out there, you just need to search. For example, if you take CM11 ROM, you can download themes from Google Play Store and apply it via the settings app, easy like that. Other themes require flashing, or some special app ;).

Check this sub-forum and you might find something you like:

All the best ;),

~Lord
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
On this same note, most AOSP based ROMs have this theming ability. And there are literally thousands of themes available on the Google Play store as well.

tested it.. so far good.. rom boots securely.. overall performance is good i try some games.. battery is a little bit drained than other kernel... but somehow wifi tethering can't be enabled...
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] hussainr:
great , would love to see it on 4.4 when possible,
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
I'll add everything and redo the kernel when 4.4 sources are up, i've actually messed things a bit up.

Although gamma tuning is nice to have on the Xperia Z, you know there are different screens out there which require different gamma controls?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Yep, Gamma tuning only applies for Sharp screens, others won't benefit.

You may consider merging:

https://github.com/adrian-bl-yuga/k...mmit/b0c0ef55e1bebfae046865934287a9ec6d6850d3

Otherwise, devices will run with a wrong (autogenerated) hwaddr while running with >= 4.3 blobs

This is also a niceone:

https://github.com/adrian-bl-yuga/k...mmit/269335962812585cc7401a82335ffdf351bebede

It enables writes to the RTC: The feature is probably also enabled on the sony-kernels but - for some strange reason (like some other stuff) - not enabled in the defconfig included in the source tarball
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Thanks :)

Will take a look at that.

Gamma settings do not seem to effect the colors. Better do it adjustable if you can:fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Kocane:
Finally a different kernel! I like XzKernel but it also seems like it comes with its share of issues. Something more simple could be cool but adjustable gamma /colors has definitely grown on me so I'd love that. Besides that, battery would probably also be a "main concern" thing.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
I'm trying to bring some basic features up first, will look into that later. Let's see what i can do.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
I don't know why but I couldn't manage to install jb 4.3 with your kernel as a secondary rom. So now installed as primary rom went fine.

Moved files from zombie.zip in place of original.

Going test and play with voltages tomorrow! :thumbup::D
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
Kernel feels good but why I don't see 17.08 online? Or did you reuploaded b2?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
17.08 is b2.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Bugfix Update

Reverted back some changes, new Voltage Control and other fixes.

Download and Changelog @OP.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
B2 voltage control didn't work for me with init.d scripts. B3 voltage control work's fine, even trough app!

Just curious, is this still with tuned gamma? It looks nice
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Yes it is, and looks way better than stock :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
Yes for sure!

Why is it that with this kernel I can UV beneath 800mv, coz for example on xzkernel I can't go lower than 800mv.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
You can adjust it easily in the kernel source, i could theoretically drop it down to 700mV.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
That would be nice, I dunno if my device will handle it but on carbon rom it will.

So if you want to, maybe in next build?:D
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Ok, will do.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
While some testing, I found out the frequencies won't stick.

For example; mp-decision off, setting min and max freq to same freq.

After few seconds min freq will drop back to 384.

Max freq setting cursor sticks but core freq won't.

Tried interactive and performance governor.

Also, cores go online and offline with mp-decision off.

I'm testing voltages always with all cores online and limiting them to same freq for proper results.

Is there something I missed or should I provide you logs of it?

[edit] didn't read the dynamic_hotplug thing in OP.

Disabled it by using :

echo N > /sys/module/dyn_hotplug/parameters/enabled

Now it's good to test :p
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Update

Final 4.3 Version is up.

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
Whoop whoop UV 700mV enabled! Thanks!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Ghost ic0n:
Good stuff dude. Now, waiting on the 4.4 version as I want to test it out with eXistenZ ROM (stock based) as it seems that this is the only kernel that is meant for stock based (and not cm11 based) ROMs.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] marceldossantos91:
Xz kernel is available for 4.4.2 stock till zombie adds support and ive confirmed it to work with xistenz 1.5.5
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] gripfly:
You should update the OP. Just b3 is linked and not b4, which is the latest :)

Hmm strange camera doesn't boot. Anyways, I'm gonna flash all again :D
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Will do soon ;)

Everything works fine here.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Hi guys,

Sorry for the long absence, i am preparing for my exams.

I'll try to update the kernel to 4.4.4 asap, you can follow the progress on github.

will u include the touch to wake function in youir kernel coz i like it.. double touch the screen to wake up the device
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
I may add it later, but actually it doesn't work very well and wakes up screen in pocket, so not for now.

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] syahazu:
oh that's what our community are complaining about... but i always use a flip case... anyhow you have any method for me to enable that function by default? and also i have a problem with wifi tethering.. it doesn't turn on and also the dualshock ps3 controller doesn't connect via the usb
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
It didn't work great for me either.

I'll check it later, i may add custom wlan modules.

PS3 module is not included yet, still bringing some basics up.

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] syahazu:
alright Sire... i shall wait for your update.. anyhow to put Overclocking freq up to 1944Ghz? also the gpu OC ? or shouldn't? maybe just CPU Oc would do some boosts to our device :D
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
I won't add OC for now.

It's pretty much useless as our device heats up very fast already, with OC it'll heat up even faster, so the performance won't be increased.

For the features see @OP, i will setup a changelog soon.

Many thanks [MENTION=3911109]pabx[/MENTION] for the wifi commit.

The new release has CAF's latest row scheduler by default.

I have added wifi modules, wifi tethering should work fine now.

Please report if everything works.

Hi..

I just flashed the latest build, everything is smooth and snappy, performance is really great, i was in search of a kernel with less fancy tweaks but with good performance, i guess i found what i needed ;)

Thanks dev..

I didn't test the battery performance yet, let's hope its good too :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Kocane:
Please report back how the battery life is with this kernel, I'll be interested to know :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] stanlin salu:
Batterylife is Amazing, overnight just 1% dropped, and no ****ty wakelocks, device sleeps good..

Dev has done an amazing work...

Zombie Z™
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Kocane:
Giving the kernel a go. The gamma settings aren't too bad. But I really like the subtle adjustment I made myself (http://i.imgur.com/4YhfJ74.png) main goal being the removal of the blue tint I feel the phone got by default. I don't suppose we're gonna see customizable gamma settings just yet?

Also, here's to hoping I don't have suspend_backoff wakelock caused by wifi anymore!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Not sure.

Doom didn't get it working, so i can test it but not sure if it will work.

The next release will be next Saturday, i'm on holiday now for a week.

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5 mit Tapatalk
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Kocane:
I assume manually editing the source and compiling it, is too much for a retard like myself, right? Having the colors adjusted to my liking in the very kernel itself instead of relying on Faux to set it, would be pretty cool. Speaking of Faux, in Trickster I dont see anything about snake charmer, but I do in Faux. Must I use Faux to enable it on boot?

Either way, I'll stick with it and test it, especially the battery usage.

Have a nice vacation!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Speaking about kernel apps, the kernel can be used as it comes and doesn't need tuning by Apps.

Snake charmer or anything like that isn't added and will never be.

If you know the different settings for RBG then you can do it yourself.

If you have a linux computer, you can easily compile it yourself.

I can tell you what to do.

And thanks, enjoying nice wheater actually :)

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5 mit Tapatalk
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Kocane:
If you've got time, I'd appreciate the help on how adjust the colors myself, thanks! I got a mate who can help me with the compiling and whatnot, too (I think)

BTW, the kernel source link in the OP is broken but I assume its https://github.com/Tommy-Geenexus/Zombie-new ?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Thanks, link fixed.

I can help you compiling, but for the Colors is suggest asking [MENTION=4645070]alnikki25k[/MENTION], i do honestly not know much about gamma levels and such, and the tweak is from him ;)

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5 mit Tapatalk
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Kocane:

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] doomhammer07:
Could you please tell me which theme you're using?

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] doomhammer07:
Yeah.. It looks good :laugh: any chance you could share it? :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Kocane:
Idling batterylife is great.

100% to 99% in 7 hours of deep sleep (7 minutes awake, 8 secs screen on)

But then I opened an app, quickly pressed back but right as I did that, the screen froze. Nothing happened for some 10-20 secs, then reboot

Something caused a kernel panic,

what rom are you currently using?

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5 mit Tapatalk
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Kocane:
ExistenZ, 4.3.

Is it possible to narrow down what? I opened Kik Messenger by mistake and instantly just pressed back and it froze right on the moment that the highlighting around the 'back' button in the navigation bar occured, if you know what I mean...

I've never tried this before, not even with the share of kernel panics I've had with XzKernel, XzInnere etc.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Hmm thats weird, on stock rom that doesn't happen.

I' ll look after it, but probably i can't do anything, as it doesnt happen to me.

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5 mit Tapatalk
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Kocane:
Doesn't some spontaneous kernel panics sometime happen and then maybe not again?

Oddly enough tho, on each boot whatsapp *****es about the date being wrong. And the notification that complains about this is labelled as created sometime in 2009 but the date apparently fixes itself almost instantly too. Also something that doesn't happen for me in other kernels.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
This is caused by the RTC writes.

I can revert it, will look at it once i'm back home ;)

Anyone else facing these issues?

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5 mit Tapatalk
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Kocane:
Maybe I'm alone with it, lol. My install is pretty old, god knows from where issues stem.

But that 1% drain overnight with edge enabled is just awesome.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
i'll test it, and if it happens too for me i'll revert and fix things, no worries :D

I've removed so much debugging and other unneeded drivers, its just left whats needed to run properly.

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5 mit Tapatalk
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] stanlin salu:
I am too on exitenz, i don't have a freeze or reboot, i think there is some app that's causing it...
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Great :)

You're probably right. The log didn't show anything special.

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5 mit Tapatalk
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Kocane:
It's not exactly a pressing issue though, but cool :P

Also, regarding gamma. I remember in Faux there's the possibility to change both colors RGB (1-255) and 'Gamma' RGB which is like 0-200, default being 100, I think.

In your kernel, it's just gamma that is changed, right?

In this file:

https://github.com/Tommy-Geenexus/Z...msm/mipi_dsi_panel_r63311_sharp_ls050t3sx01.c

I was it like you said, purely AlNikki who did this part of the kernel?

I've found that setting R and G to 106 and B to 110 or 111 looks pretty good. But Ive no idea how that translate in the code we see in the source.

Keeping the gamma as a 'hardcoded' part of the kernel is probably better than customiziable too. I mean, keeping things as simple as possible.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Thats exactly what i would love to do, but i have the same problem, i don't know how to hardcode these :D

Alnikki could help though, maybe i'll ask him later.

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5 mit Tapatalk
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Kocane:
But it's not like your gamma settings are poor, at all.

Just a

bit

more blue maybe, the colors look a bit too reddish.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
If i'm not mistaken they are Iphone 5 -like calibrated, much warmer than default.

Zombie Z™
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Kocane:
By default, the Z (mine atleast), is very cold colors. Usually the only adjustment I do to gamma/colors are removal of this blueness.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Yes thats true, mine too.

I see if i can add gamma control or hardcode some values :)

Zombie Z™
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Kocane:
Cool :) but like I said, the colors as they are now aren't exactly bad. They're not like default, for sure.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Yeah, thats what counts, but i'll try my best anyway ;)

Zombie Z™
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Kocane:
Ive had some kernel panics/sudden reboots. But two of them has been while modding some system files (SemcPhone to be exact) which is a delicate matter so I figured it was just the system spassing out. Can happen.

But then, third time, I dont know what I was doing wrong. It happened right after I disabled wifi, some 1 sec after maybe, and the screen turned black instantly, then took a while to reboot.

I dont suppose the last_kmsg shows much :/

http://pastebin.com/UNK0d5JF

I dont know if stuff like this is blameable on the Kernel. I just know that I've went for a long time (with some install on XzK) and the only issue I had there, besides the somewhat poor batterylife, was occasional kernel panic related to the camera (others had this too).
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
The log shows again a kernel panic, same error as before.

Again such never happened before too me in any way.

But regarding wifi theres something on my todo list, i'll revert the removal of debugging which caused a problem for me too.

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] pabx:
That's not a crash: You (or something else) wrote 'c' to /proc/sysrq-trigger:

Doing this will forcefully cause the kernel to crash (eg: works as designed)

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Kocane:
What could be causing this :-/? Didn't happen with XzKernel

Means you or some app forced the kernel to crash and perform a reboot.

Must be an app with root privileges though i think.

Awesome. Could you maybe take my gamma changes into consideration/give them a look? It's all about personal preference this, but I feel they're pretty good.

Like I said, I've only used the Faux app to set gamma so I've no idea how it converts into whatever number is used in the kernel source itself to define the gamma RGB colors. But setting R and G to 106 and B to 111 in Faux gives a nice look, imo.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Gamma won't be changed in the next release due to lack of time and knowledge.

but i'll soon contact alnikki or someone with more knowledge, hardcoding the values is the way to go for me ;)
