[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
This rom was the first perfect rom for my V straight out of the box.

Fast, great battery, smooth and beautiful.

For the first time in history I could just install, amd be happy right away without having to spend hours finetuning hacking and modding.

This made me so happy that I even donated for the first time.

If I have to fiddle around with try and error kernel settings to make it work, that would change the the rom to be just "one of the available roms that has a lot of potential".

With the default kernel everything works better than ever before, on any rom.

So I don't find the need to change a single thing, it is perfect as it is.

Never change a winning team :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
Just giving feed-back: I have reverted to the standard kernel. Nice power savings as the result of the slightly lower voltage setting, but I did not find operation 100 % as super-smooth and reliable as with the standard.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] finac94:
When I try to install Cyanogenmod camera or other ported camera I get this error. Is there any way to fix it? :confused:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Hmm. Is anyone happy with the custom kernel? :D

Perhaps it would better be an add-on?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Cyanogenmod camera is already installed in this rom ^^

Exactly the one you're trying to install. :p
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] finac94:
But I don't think it's the same version o.O

Is there any way to get close to sony's stock (cybershot) camera ever? I mean this camera (and cameras in every custom rom) is ok for normal pictures but it really sucks in low light conditions and macro shots...and whenever I want to focus by touching on screen it never does it sucessfully :S
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
I think some drivers in stock roms are better than in aosp ones, and they can't be ported. Even if we made Sony camera work on NeoWave, it would most likely focus the same bad way.. I also miss TimeShift. :( :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] finac94:
Well at least we can hope that one day it might be possible xD

Everything else is working great and I've had no reboots or force closes since installing the latest version so I just wanna thank you for making such an awesome rom :D I would only prefer black (stock android) background in settings but it's pretty good this way too :)

I just have 1 question...Could this undervolting thing damage the battery during winter times? Is it possible that because of it battery gets too cold and dies? I know it's a stupid question but I was just wondering xD
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] MESA:
This rom is way better than stock. Using default 1.2.2 kernel on interactive/sio and its very smooth ( dont know if there are other features, but i have cpu hotplugging app) Browsing on FB was lagging on 4.3, now its super smooth. Sound is great with Viper. I though vamera will be worse but its not that bad. Day pictures are always good for me and night was not good even on stock. I dont think i will be downgrading to stock anymore. With Xposed this rom is unique. Very good work and i am pretty happy :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Nope, that shouldn't happen. :D

Undervolting makes mostly a difference when playing games or doing stuff with lots of cpu load. :)

Don't worry about your battery, it will be fine :good:

Thanks a lot :)

What modules are you using, if I may ask?

Perhaps there is a chance some of them can be hard-coded in a future update. ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] MESA:
Im using Android l nav-bar to make it look like L. Blurred system ui by serajr( 1.9 is just wonderful). Instagram downloader. ProtectedApps. Knock Code(better than pattrrn for me). And Screen Filter- this is really useful because rom's minimum brightness is too high and this makes it really great for using the phone at night. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] colonel_lp:
I'm happy with how it is running, smooth for me ondemand/sio or interactive/sio(seems slightly less), don't really use much bluetooth so not a problem that it doesn't repair..

By the way, thanks for the heads up on BBQLinux, apart from the inherent irritations of running it in VirtualBox, I managed to build my(your) first kernel against linaro 4.7 toolchain with only a few alteration to a few *.h and *.c files, and a run of unwind table/EXIDX warnings I cant find fixes for...

Not tried booting it yet, but it allowed me to build the frandom module with a bit of research, pushed it and its currently listed as loaded on my XV, but running tests on it don't show the promised results... SHRUG
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
I've also been using Linaro 4.7 für the whole rom and kernel.

Linaro 4.8 would be interesting as its said to bring a big difference, but my skills in C debugging are a little too low, I guess.

Might be a project for Neo 2.0 :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] colonel_lp:
sorry if I'm getting off topic,

did you get the unwind tables warnings?

Also, your github source is the current 1.2.2 kernel?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Yes and yes. :)

Still gotta figure out a workaroubd for the warnings..
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] colonel_lp:
Well thats good to know, I guess since it's commented as 'TO DO' in return_address.c that would do it..

I asked as I was curious that I had to make are few changes to get it to compile on 4.7.. (this stuff is all very new to me)

Also it just compiled without any other changes but same warnings on Linaro 4.9.. I suppose I should see if it boots.. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] stripeset:
Freeze while Loading

Hi,

i´m using NEO Rom for a While now and it´s great. Unfortunately with the latest update the phone freezes in a black screen state while loading.

I was able to observe a few Errormessages when waking from Standby regarding "System isn´t responding, do you want to close it".

A few minutes after that it was again frozen. Can´t even turn it off, only removing the battery helps.

Regards,

Mario "stripeset" T.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
I think a major part of the V community is enthusiastic to see a new kernel coming with such potential , but also that there are some things that need some more attention, it is not finished yet.

With some more development I'm sure it will be tha bomb ;)

You're the best, I wait patiently the next school vacation :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] neofral:
Check if you have ART enabled and maybe have exposed installed. If this is not the case, than you have installed an app that is force-closing and freezing your device.

My suggestion is that you do a fresh install carefully following the instructions, and install apps one by one so you troubleshoot the problem. Keep in mind that you are the first to report such issue.

[MENTION=5122093]WhiteNeo[/MENTION], i was trying to get a faster phone as primary. Been hoping to by Z3C but after the issues with the camera after unlocking bootloader and the tons of issues with Viber calls... i just got fed up Sony and got a Samsung Galaxy Alpha. What i wanted to say is that my beloved Xperia V is still with me and i dedicate it to helping you test whatever development you bring on :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
Right. People who read here shall keep it in mind when they read about the bugs and critical points here in this thread. This ROM breezes new life into my V. I see it as a prove that manufacturers purposely making devices obsolete by tailoring / designing software to drag the previous models down and out. A waste of resources.

I have a newer phone with a bigger screen. But with this ROM I just wish the V had the slightly bigger screen.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Could you pm me those changes so I can do some testing at home? :)

Linaro 4.9 would be a serious improvement! :good:

Thanks for your support :)

I still haven't got enough money for a new phone, so it was a wise decision not to wait (will probably still take some more months here :D)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
After the change to the new kernel, I had 3 or 4 black screen freezes where I could not on / reboot / restart the phone and had to remove the battery. Two times the phone did not go into deep sleep over night but stayed fully up. Result - 30 % battery.

When it's nice it's is really very nice but when it has bad mood it can get nasty. That's with the new kernel. With the old one, I did not have the slightest issue. We like smooth skin and round shapes, some however might want to live on the cutting edge.

May be the voltage reduction? Might try again by putting up the voltages in certain frequencies?

Also I am wondering abt Bluetooth. What do you guys mean by bluetooth bug? Mine doesn't loose pairing after reboot.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
ROM is very good but in last 72 hours I'm experiencing reboots. So Strange!

I'm trying to use Catlog app, what should Log Level be?

"What a Terrible Failure" or "Error"?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
I think you should grab a dmesg. This can be done via terminal. :)

Error level for logcats should be error. :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
Sry but how can I save dmesg to sdcard? :/
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
[MENTION=5122093]WhiteNeo[/MENTION]

The best results I had with this rom was with the modified default kernel, after using the three commands in the console:

-core offline at screen off disabled

-Minimum cores 2

-Mpdecision set to 0 (echo "0" > sys/kernel/msm_mpdecision/conf/enabled)

I think I have found the kernel in my downloads but not sure that it is the right version.

Could you please make that kernel available in the first post, with those three settings already set?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Just google it, I don't know the command.

Should be something like "echo dmesg > /storage/sdcard0/dmesg.txt" :)

The current kernel in version 1.2.2 uses exactly those values as default. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
Yes, but that is the cm11 kernel, and the first one that you released with lowered voltages was still the omni kernel if I'm not mistaking.

That one worked much more stable for me. ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
I just had another reboot. but DAMN. CatLog app also stops writing to sdcard when phone freezes and reboots :crying:

Will Dmesg fail too? :(

BTW which Governor and I/O schedule gives best battery?

I'm going to do a very clean install if problem exists :laugh:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Hrm. If everyone is having issues with reboots n stuff, I'll compile an Omni-based kernel today. :)

Clean install is not going to fix this I fear..

I'm just a little surprised why I dont have any issues like that. Oo
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] HenkeZan:
No unexpected reboot since 1.2.2 version here. However, I came from omnirom nightly to 1.2.2.

Only issue (except certificate manager, which only I seem to be using here (importing my own ca cert)) has been that after a while the screen don't seem do react 100% to keypresses. Also, sometimes after a while I've had issues backing out of appdrawer. It does not work, so I have to minimize it instead.

Otherwise no issues except the already known ones.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
Maybe one of my apps or sth causing this.

Ok I wait.

BTW the strange thing is when CM hadn't merged latest kernel sources, when random reboot happened, before restart phone showed a Blue Screen for 2-3 seconds. Now on this ROM phone freezes for 1-2 seconds, then colors go crazy and reboot!

I never had problem with Neo 1.2.0 :D That was Omni Based?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
I can't fix the Certificate Manager if I don't have a log of the error. :)

Yeah, it was. Compiling a new Omni kernel atm. :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
Thank you :laugh:

Here is logcat of Certificate Manager.(It's since boot and log level is error :victory: )
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
Could there be a difference between our systems, as you don't have the errors we have?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Hmm, it seems there is no app to open the cert documents..

Try installing the attached app. No need to push to system, just a normal install. :)

Then tell me if the bug persists :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Just compared my screen with yours, and it seems you're not running the latest kernel from Oct 8..

Try installing whatever kernel you prefer, I've updated the OP with flashable ones for every AOSP rom. :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] MESA:
Will test the kernel with omni sources and see if there is any difference.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Allen Hu:
The NeoKernel can be used in other roms based on CM/OMNI too?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
It should.

Try it, but backup first. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gorneman:
Has anyone tried to flash NeoKernel inCm11 ? I lose root after flash. It is because Omni ramdisk have no pre-installed su binary.Right?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
I compiled the kernel for CM11 completely with cm11 sources, so it must work. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
Solved :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
I installed the new omni kernel the moment you put it up.

All seems to work well for the moment.

As always, after having wiped the cache and dalvik cache, the system is quite busy.

I imagine there is a lot of things to do, the second core runs at full speed without interruption since I first started it, kind of strange I keep an eye on it and it hasn't clocked down a single moment according to the built in counter in the settings menu.

The first core uses all speeds, but it is overall very busy too, even with no apps open or in background.

I have about 50gb of media files on my sd so maybe it is busy indexing that?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
Just flashed Omni Based one :)

Everything is fine till now.

P.S : my cpu timers are

1512 Mhz : 52%

384 Mhz : 40%

About 7 minutes after boot :D

Edit : [MENTION=5122093]WhiteNeo[/MENTION] I created Apple Emojies flashable zip. You can add it to Add Ons if you want ;)

Edit 2 : 4 Hours using latest Omni Based Kernel and no issues :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
[MENTION=5395959]Knutselmaaster[/MENTION]

Are your reboot issues gone with Omni kernel? :)

That's great! :)

I'll add it to OP as soon as I'm back home. :good:

By the way, has anyone on CM11 or Carbon tried flashing my NeoKernel with success? :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gorneman:
Problem is ramdisk, cyanogenmod and carbon want init.superuser.rc in ramdisk. In NeoKernel ramdisk I can't find this file.

In a Omni based rom ramdisk works flawlessy because you install supersu after flash, in cm superuser is pre-installed .

I have tried to repack the kernel but it not boots. If I succeed to download Cm source code, i'll try to compile it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
You can flash latest SuperSU on CM too :/

[MENTION=5122093]WhiteNeo[/MENTION] If you want to add Apple Emojis to Add Ons plz add new zip below, in first one I totally forgot to give credits to Emojis provider ;)

And BTW does anyone noticed latest kernel TWRP recovery is 2.7?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
I used full cm source code to compile the flashable cm kernel.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
OK, the second core thing is just some weird bug in the settings menu where it shows 1.5ghz permanently, other apps show it clocking all speeds.

I accidentally found this:

Use cfq scheduler to stop the sound bug, It stops the bug from happening when music is playing and nothing else is done on the phone.

I get best results at 1024kb.

Leaving an audio glitch that happens when opening a heavy app.

Set governor to interactive to stop that from happening in 95% of the cases, and activate overclocking to get rid of the last 5%.

I have been intensively testing this since a few hours and it is sooooooooooooooo good !

I use the memory settings that [MENTION=5122093]WhiteNeo[/MENTION] proposed.

I don't know what this does for battery usage yet but it doesn't seem to have a big influence.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I set viper4android to compatibility mode but that didn't make any difference.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] neofral:
Thanks for these awesome news. Will apply settings right now. :thumbup:

Now the only thing that remains to work on is the bluetooth connections.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] MESA:
I have a question: The quick settings can be flipped and have different options(wi-fi,sound,bluetooth) for example. Can that feature be disabled and on sound QS can i only make to change vibration and sound with vibration, because they are more than 4 options.(sorry for bad english)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
[MENTION=5122093]WhiteNeo[/MENTION] flashed your CM Based kernel on Carbon ROM and there is no root access :( I tried to re flash SuperSU 2.13.zip but no luck :rolleyes:

BTW can you open another thread for your CM Based Kernel?

1.There is no custom CM Kernel for us so yours will be the first one :p

2.People who use CM ROMs can discuss there and will not go off topic in this Forum :laugh:

Thank you.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] matti117485:
What is the difference between NeoKernel based on CM11 and based on Omni?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
I dont think Omni supports features like that. :)

I think I have an idea..

I compiled the cm kernel for user target. That's why there is no root stuff in kernel.

Gonna give it a shot in some time. :good:

Omni one is compiled with Omni device files for tsubasa, while CM one uses official cm sources for the build..

In Omni kernel charging while device is off is broken, but it seems to be more stable otherwise. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gorneman:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/9gmrkg2llmr8mcc/NeoKernel-CM11-1.2.2_signed.zip

Itt boots on CM11 and seems to work fine. I have simply compiled it with right ramdisk, so all the Thanks are for WhiteNeo.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] niimaldo:
who says "In Omni kernel charging while device is off is broken" ?! :confused:

I did a clean install n then flashed the Omni kernel & I have no problem with offline charging :silly::o
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
Thank you. :good: Working fine till now :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] niimaldo:
the black page in incoming call is just 4 me or u guys have it too?!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
No black page, no charging issue, no bluetooth issue. And yes, Omni kernel is most stabil.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vrl13:
Hi,

Can you elaborate a bit on the BT thingie :D?

For example what are the devices involved and how did you test it.

Thank you.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Thanks, will add it to op later. :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
See pic.

Survived two version updates and two kernel changes. What exactly does not work with your bluetooth? The pairing is broken and yopu have to pair the devices again? Or sharing / sending / receiving does not work? Or does it only concern audio devices?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vrl13:
Thanks for the response.

In my case there are 3 devices I've tested wich require re-pairing each time the BT is toggled off-on on the phone: a headset from Jabra, a Sony Smartwatch 2 and a BT mouse from Myria (chinese product locally rebranded)

Your picture shows another phone as the paired device...maybe it works differently with smartphones then with "dumb" devices.

I'll try and test this with another smartphone, could you do a test with a simple device such as a headset or a mouse?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Kureiji:
Running Carbon rom with CM11 NeoKernel (the one [MENTION=2711858]gorneman[/MENTION] posted) and no issues so far, only that recovery is CWM, not TWRP. :) Also tried turning hotplug on and it seems like the 2nd core goes offline less frequently than on NeoWave rom :P

Will test for a few days to see if battery is good as NeoWave rom :thumbup:

Btw anyone had problem with Facebook app when running on ART? In my case FB take so long to wake from hibernation, sometimes it even stuck at logo. Other than that everything works fine on ART :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] finac94:
Would you suggest using OmniKernel or CmKernel for best stability and battery life? Are decreased voltages and hotplugging available in both kernels? And is the sound bug (when screen is off) still present in this flashable OmniKernel?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
I think it depends on ROM, if you use Dirty Unicorns, Omni or NeoWave, Flash Omni Based one, and if you use AOKP,CM,AICP, PA, Slim or Carbon flash CM Based.

HotPlug and under volting are available in both, and there is no audio bug :)

BTW if you wanna flash CM Based kernel flash the one at post #749
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] finac94:
Tnx for replying. I was thinking of NewWave rom so I think i'll stick with Omni based kernel ^^
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
By default, NeoWave uses the CM11 kernel. Just for information. :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
I think that caused my reboots :p Cause after flashing Omni Based one everything worked like charm :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Why don't I have reboots on CM kernel then? :D

Its all a little strange ^^
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
Its strange for me too :confused: as my reboots gone with Omni Based kernel and other people don't have reboots with CM kernel :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] finac94:
I didn't have reboots when i used this rom with everything how it was, then I tried going back to OmniRom few days ago and got at least 1 reboot a day and now i went back to this rom again with omni kernel got a reboot again and now I switched to CM kernel to see how it works...for now everything is good with cm kernel and even ram usage is lower o.O :confused:

btw: is anyone having lag when scrolling in landscape using CM kernel? When I'm on Omni kernel everything is smooth but on cm kernel I get lag when browsing in landscape. And I'm also getting pretty high battery usage from Android System but the only (cpu) wakelock of Android System is Connectivity Service?! But I guess it's not really that high as I think...it kinda starts pretty high when I take it off charger but after some time it settles.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] niimaldo:
any1?!

I'm the only one with a black page in incoming call ?! :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] finac94:
It seems so xD

What version and which kernel are you using?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
Noone apparently.

Did you try installing a colour theme?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] niimaldo:
The new ver and Omni kernel.

Even I did a clean install first n then flashed the new version and Omni kernel ...

---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 PM ----------

I flashed the purple one.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
I tried the purple theme once and found some cases with dark purple letters on a black background., maybe that is the problem ?

Did you try another colour ?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] neofral:
Since my Xperia V became secondary device, prety much is on standby and just some rare phone call or some messages.

However, i can't stand and share with you my surprise. Today my phone is taking me to bed with 77% battery.

Check the screenshot. And pls somebody tell me which kernel i have. :o Iflashed several and i think i'm on the latest from the op but i want to confirm it.

Sent using my XperiaV running NeoWave 1.2.2 rom
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] finac94:
I believe you're on CM kernel because you have exactly the same kernel version as I do and I know I'm on CM kernel. Are you saying you're pleased or dissapointed with battery life? xD
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] neofral:
The only time my Xperia V took me through the half of a day and have above 60% left , was when it did only stand by. No wifi, no 3g...

And now, i'm going to bed with 77% :D

I'm very satisfied and i'm very much surprised as well.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] finac94:
Me too...I went to sleep with 77% last night and woke up with 74% :D

I guess this kernel is more stable than omni one too bacuse I haven't had a reboot since yesterday ^^

The only problem I have is a bit of lag/stutter when scrolling in landscape, but it's not that big of a deal :)
