should I flash kernels in "Kernel Source" and "add-ons" in first page after flashing new version or just flash new version ?

how about "neo-1.1.4-patch" ?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
Just the new version, that's all.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gorneman:
[MENTION=5122093]WhiteNeo[/MENTION] Is possible to upload latest kernel source to github? I can do it if you can't . Thanks for your time.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] finac94:
Can anyone tell me how's the battery life compared to the previous version? And is this version undervolted too by default? Because I don't wanna update if my phone is gonna start heating up again and draining battery faster. :confused:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
I still haven't managed to get it empty, it hasn't been released long ago enough :)

Battery life is better than the older versions, and you can activate hotplugging for even better battery if you want.

Thanks to the lowered voltages the phone doesn't heat up at all.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
I am happy to see idle draw back to old glory, see attachment.

Usage draw seems slightly lower than before (before voltages mod), but that's subjective only, as it is hard to compare unless we develop a standard testing routine.

It's 1.21 with hotplug switched off so should be the same as 1.22.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ksigit:
I'm happy to report that music play flawlessly during screen off. 1 hours of music with v4a eats ~10% of battery.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] finac94:
Tnx for all your answers :)

I would like to know what other custom recoveries are compatible with this ROM? I have problems with TWRP so I would like to use something else like CWM if possible?!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Please tell me how I can import zip files to git and I'll do so. :D

I'm not sure about other recoveries.

What problems with TWRP recovery do you have?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] finac94:
I wasn't able to back-up a bit earlier...it got stuck at backing up cache.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
Initially I had reservations against TWRP. Now I think it is the most reliable recovery.

And as we are on it, I don't need a touch interface for a recovery functionality. To me it seems operating with side buttons is easier, up / down / click ... what was wrong with that? I know wrong thread, just wanted to mention.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vrl13:
Greetings everyone

Can anyone confirm that the BT problem is fixed?

I tested on my own on a fresh 1.2.2 install but it looks like the problem is still present :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Isocadia:
With 1.2.1 pairing survives a reboot on my phone
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
I don't know if I'm the only one or not but for me animations were more smoother on NeoWave 1.2 than 1.2.2 :confused:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
If you have just upgraded, give it some time, after a day it runs smoother than any other version (for me at least)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ksigit:
Just got a reboot while listening to music and playing BBO (bridge base online)..

Log attached.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
The log starts after your reboot, so the error is not included I think. :/
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] ksigit:
Whoa..:D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] colonel_lp:
I have a NeoWave 1.2.2 kernel modified to work with FolderMount....

Anyone want to test it for me before I post it?

PM me!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] neofral:
anyone here can tell me how to add a mod that will the lock/turn off screen when tapping the clock or a button next to the clock? :o
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] finac94:
Can I ask why you need that? If you just wanna save your power button, you can go to settings --> interface --> bars --> quick launch shortcuts...then hold that arrow and swipe up and set that gesture to lock screen. And then when you want to lock your screen you just swipe up from home button. I hope you understood what I meant xD
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] neofral:
wow, thank you very much :highfive:

yes, i just don't like to use the power button to turn off screen. i got used to that button on some earlier roms and i missed that function.

your option however is awesome, i have 2 more shortcuts to add :good:

thank you - hvala ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] finac94:
No problem, glad to help :D

I remember I used what you described in ParanoidAndroid ROM and I also thought I couldn't live with out it when i switched to OmniRom but I found out about that feature I just told you and it's even better in my opinion, especially because you can add 2 more shortcuts. :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
[MENTION=2711858]gorneman[/MENTION]:

Done. Check my git :good:

Thanks for the link. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] niimaldo:
whiteNeo !

in "snd_soc_msm_2x" , which line is for loudspeaker (in talking) ?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
After a day of testing, usage average, 3h16 screen on time.

Mostly used the browser and hangouts.

After 10h30 I still got 12% left.

My sdcard uses a lot so i think that it hasn't finished indexing my 64gb sd card filled with media files, mostly music and pictures.

It can only get better but this really is very impressive.

I haven't enabled the hotswap, all is done with 2 activated cores.

Edit, added pics, more than 3h45 screen on, and 11h15 on battery, and still able to post this :)

Last edit, i managed 12 hours on my battery with 4 hours of usage.

Note that my battery is far from new.

I updated the attached pictures.

I had no single error during usage by the way.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] finac94:
Where can I find hotplug options and how should I use it?

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] niimaldo:
ART works better on this rom or Dalvik ? (battery n ... )
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] neofral:
i would say ART
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
ART saves a few seconds bootup time, and seems having sometimes a little edge when opening bigger and complex progs.

On naked Omni it made a remarkable difference for me, so big that I wondered why someone would be using Dalvik. Under NeoWave ART and Dalvik run well.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] stirlitz99:
Because Xposed needs Dalvik... Greenify, Xprivacy need Xposed... ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] colonel_lp:
Art makes my V faster and smoother, enough to go without the xposed modules, though i miss them. Get home page redraws and app lags on dalvik that I have never seen on art, even though on dalvik this rom is better than others I've used.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] elikcandy:
If you talk about pairing so I have this problem too :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
About ART, I've been using it since first version and never had a problem, it runs amazingly smooth.

The rom has almost all settings that i used xposed for on the official rom already so I don't really miss it.

About bluetooth, I just tried paring with my Sony mw600 and it paired veryqquickly and all is working OK, even better than with official rom where song titles don't show, and on this rom they show.

What is the problem you run into?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] neofral:
this is the first time i used bluetooth with this rom.

yesterday i paired with my car system (audi mmi) and the first time worked ok. however, when i got out and back in the car it wouldn't connect. it took ages to search and find devices and it wouldn't pair. i ran into a loop of re-entering pairing passwords.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vrl13:
Ok, thank you all who confirmed - so it seems that the BT bug is still present :((
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] finac94:
Torch doesn't work with screen turned off...it worked maybe first 2 times and now it doesn't.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Updated OP.. Too bad the new kernel didn't do the trick. :/

The torch thing is normal.

It's a Omni issue, the torch app seems to be unable to start a wakelock.

Too bad, actually, but you'll have to keep the screen on when you need it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] finac94:
It's not a big deal for me...there's an app called TeslaLED which works with screen off ^^

I just have 2 questions:

1) why is there no "download manager" shortcut (no way to access it and view downloaded files) but it's obviously installed and listed under all aps?!

2) ram usage seems a bit higher in this update...is there a reason for it? I mean I don't have any freezes or ram issues but I just noticed it in the settings...maybe it's because of a little bigger rom size?!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
1. I have removed the app that is responsible for displaying Downloads.. It's called DownloadProviderUi.apk.. You can extract it from official Omni and move it to system/app :)

2. CM kernel is a little bigger than Omni one, so that might be the reason.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] finac94:
Why did you remove it? Will I have problems with it? And do i need to install it in recovery or like a normal app?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] neofral:
Yeah, i think you should update the OP again. Change "more than 100 hours of work" to "more than 200 hours" :D

I can live without bluetooth and torch. In fact torch wasn't working most of the time with my previous rom (pure blaster).

Just get on these 2 small bugs whenever you have time.

Sent using my XperiaV running NeoWave 1.2.2 rom
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Because I am certainly not the only one thinking this app is pretty useless. :D

Just push the apk to system/app and it will be fine. ;)

Haha :D Well yeah, should think about it. :laugh:

Seriously? It would be pretty much getting on my nerves not being able to use my phone as a Torch.. I think the current bug is no big issue, cause the torch will stay turned on if "keep display on" is enabled in settings. :)

And that bluetooth thing is pretty strange. If it's no kernel issue (which is proven by several users now), it must be rom related. But why dont Xperia T users have those bugs, then?

Its quite confusing.. Must be one of the proprietary system files.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
Just copy it there.

And yes I'm very glad that it is not in there, I have never understood why there is an app for that as all roms have some kind of file explorer already and/or we use our own favourite app for file exploring, including downloaded files.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] niimaldo:
I used ART in previous ver. for a while,but battery was eaten by it !

in new version,battery draining is good with ART ?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
I've been using ART from the beginning and I can definitely say that it is not the reason for any battery drain! :D

Must have been related to some app you installed.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] neofral:
Read back several posts and i'm not the only one to experience slow performance until phone settles down for a while. Give it a day or two and you'll see

Sent using my XperiaV running NeoWave 1.2.2 rom
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Isocadia:
After using 1.2.2 for two days now I noticed that performance was still a lot slower than on 1.2.1, when looking into the performance tab I saw that the kernel had a max freq of 1ghz with the cores never going above it. Just refreshed and still the exact same thing, max freq is 1 ghz instead of 1.5 and they never go above 1, so it's not just a display error.

Has anybody else with slow performance checked this? I can't imagine that a corrupt download could have this kind of effect.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] finac94:
I've had problems with both 1.2.2 and 1.2.1 after first install because of corrupted download...the primary link never works for me so i choose the 2nd mirror/link and download with google chrome or firefox and then it works fine.

I just checked my "time in state" now and it says 1512MHz - 6%, 384MHz - 23% and Deep Sleep - 67% so I guess everything works fine in my case...and I don't notice any freezing or lag...this is actually the first time I've never had a reboot or force close after installing custom rom so I'm most satisfied with it :D

btw I'm using Dalvik if that makes any difference.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
I don't have such problems.

What governor do you use?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
1GHz sounds like your phone is being throttled by the Bricked Thermal driver.

You can adjust those values in System Tuner etc. :)

Most likely this throttling occurs when plugged to a charger or outside when it's hot. First frequency decrease step is 1.2GHz, second step is 1GHz. So your phone must be pretty hot. >.>
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] niimaldo:
so,battery drains slower in ART than Dalvik?

how much is the diffrence ? say a percent !
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Isocadia:
Phone is completely cold and on ondemand governor. If I raise the max freq to 1.5 it instantly starts using it. Just flashed again to check, with my download the default max frequentie is 1ghz, as if the CPU is default underclocked. Just raising it fixes the problem, but since I'm the only one I guess it's something in this particular download :p
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
If you need percentages, please test yourself.

I'm not going to make a science out of a few minutes screen on time. :p

Really strange..

Want to open System Tuner and see if your thermal throttling values are alright? Perhaps some app decreased the temperature thresholds.

If that doesn't work, check your init.d directory for any scripts that might change this value.

Also, redownload and reflash the latest version.

I have no idea what might cause this problem..
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
this totally depends on your usage and what applications you use.

Just an idea, what if this processor needs more voltage?

Could undervolting prevent it from running at higher speeds?

I would try flashing the unmodified kernel from the first post if reinstalling the rom does not help, to see if there is a difference.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
If voltage was too low, the phone would simply crash and bootloop. I doubt that's the reason. :)

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vrl13:
First result on google for "ART vs Dalvik battery":

For the uninitiated, ART is the new runtime that executes application instructions. In other words, when you run an app, it goes through a runtime. Previously, Android's runtime was called Dalvik and, while it did okay, it was still a bottleneck as it only ran code at the moment it needed to (what's called a "Just-In-Time" or JIT compiler). ART, on the other hand, uses an Ahead-of-Time compiler (AOT) to process application instructions before they're needed so things run more smoothly for the user. A lot of people have turned it on in 4.4 and reported great increases in performance and Battery life. The folks at Android Police did some tests to see how accurate these claims were.

Android Police found that there's still plenty of optimization left to be done. At the moment, ART can squeeze out very slightly better battery life and performance than Dalvik can, but you probably won't see massive gains

...snip...

I guess it all boils down to Dalvik eating up more CPU and consequently more battery each time an app is started VS ART eating more CPU (and power) only one time, during the first phone start-up to optimize the code, and giving you larger yet smoother-running apps.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
I think you have no idea what ART is :)

And Plz have some respect, you didn't miss anything, you can always switch between ART and Dalvik without any problems
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] niimaldo:
tnx buddy,I know ART and its features.want to see how it acts in THIS ROM.like I said before,I tried ART on previous ver for a while but the battery was eaten by it! I just want to know u guys had a same problem or no and how is ART in new ver.

---------- Post added 12th October 2014 at 12:06 AM ---------- Previous post was 11th October 2014 at 11:57 PM ----------

U know what ART is and it's enough! :o

I was kidding with WhiteNoe cause he always is laughing ! And plz don't tell me to have ... :eek:

I didn't say I missed something,just had a questions: the battery draining pb that I had on previous ver was just for me or u had it too...

---------- Post added at 12:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 AM ----------

tnx dude and forgive me if I distempered u !

I just want to know the battery draining with ART that I had on previous ver was only 4 me or u guys had it too...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
Did someone ever look at the GPU? It runs at 300 Mhz most of the time, and often doing nothing else than displaying a static screen.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Allen Hu:
Well if you have lots of apps installed and less storage left, after you switch to ART the phone will just go BOOM and you'll need to reflash :p
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
I dont think we can do much about it.

I have not found any commits that might improve this behavior, otherwise I would of course have included them. :)

Even skipped gpu overclocking cause it is said to drain battery.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] colonel_lp:
Always been a fan of using Crossbreeder on previous roms as it has some great features (entropy, DNS caching, adware blocking), installed it on NeoWave and it seems to run even faster (in my opinion) :good:

Crossbreeder has support for frandom, if you have come accross it, seems interesting. Would you be interested in compiling the frandom module for your kernel? the dev supplies a zip with everything needed and instructions and reckons it only takes 10minutes. I know you don't have time much at the moment..

Tried myself, but just cant get my head around getting through the kernel build errors, probably to do with incomplete environment on my mac.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
The link to the zip directs to some kind of blog.. I cant find a zip there. :)

By the way, I do know CrossBreeder. It's a really excellent performance mod and it made a difference for most roms I used it on. :good:

Still, I have to keep my NeoWave as close to stock as possible, so I can properly track bugs. :)

(Too bad, actually. :D)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] colonel_lp:
Link to zip is at top of page. http://billauer.co.il/download/frandom-1.1.tar.gz

I think you could just offer the frandom.ko for people to push, if you wanted too that is. :)

I believe crossbreeder activates it in the appropriate way, module just needs to be compiled with respect to kernel sources.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
You're completely right :D but there is nothing impossible in Open Sorce :D there are some CWM and TWRP zips that switch between ART and Dalvik in recovery :p
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] iSpammer:
can i use this kernel on a pure cm11 ? :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Hrm. The installation instructions in this archive are a little confusing. :D

Are those intended for desktop linux?

I have no idea how to add this to the kernel. :)

You can, but I'd be very sad if you did. :D

Just kidding.. Copy system/lib/modules folder from NeoWave to cm and flash my boot.img afterwards. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] colonel_lp:
Yep, you not on Linux? Seems its just 'make', but i get errors, I will give it another go, just need to get your source built first.. I find the whole kernel building quite confusing! :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gorneman:
I try but I lost Root, I think something in ramdisk broke it. I'll try to compile kernel with cm ramdisk.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] niimaldo:
in ART,we'll always see the optimizing apps after each reboot?:confused:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] colonel_lp:
Nope, should be just once or if you install new apps, they will be optimised.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Try BBQLinux, all necessary modules for compiling are already preinstalled. :good:

Also, it's not just "make", you need to specify a defconfig first, as far as I know..

I dont really know how to merge the zip files into my sources. That's the problem. :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] colonel_lp:
Im on a mac, suppose I could dual boot...

as far as a could tell from my limited knowledge of reading the INSTALL & MAKEFILE in the frandom folder, you compile the kernel sources, then specify kernel directory in the makefile, 'KDIR :=' then 'make' from the frandom folder... or thats what it says in the INSTALL file in the folder...

---------- Post added at 12:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 AM ----------

Thats strange, you must have something installed that doesn't play nicely with Art... you don't have xposed installed do you? that would break it!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Yusumaru Reiga:
Please someone tell me how to change the theme? Can i install cm themes?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] niimaldo:
like what ?

no man,if xposed was installed,Dalvik will not switch to ART. U're right,it must be an app that create this problem...

U installed Whatsapp?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
No cm themes on this rom. You might try XTheme Engine, but most themes will be broken.

This rom is strictly for sony lovers. :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] colonel_lp:
Whstsapp fine for me on art.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
Small update

I encountered some problems with the latest version.

System shows unexplainable slowdowns from time to time, where it almost hangs for several seconds before returning buttersmooth.

I have enormous graphic bugs when using the keyboard in Ingress.

Music playback (on speaker, headphones and Bluetooth) still suffers from glitches, at the moments where the system shows the big slowdowns, it is good for a headache :o

So yesterday I installed the old kernel (the first one) and since, everything is working perfectly.

Battery usage is a bit less good of course, and it seems a tiny bit less fast, but it runs at constant speed all the time and without any bugs.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Yusumaru Reiga:
Oh sadly.... But xposed framework won't work in art :(
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] colonel_lp:
What governor? I noticed some slow downs on interactive.. OnDemand seems much smoother for me.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
Ondemand .

Interactive does work better but I find it a lot more battery consuming as it clocks a lot to the medium speeds when using low power apps like browser and hangouts.

It results in a worse battery usage than the old kernel using Ondemand.

I'm very happy with this, the only thing I miss out on is offline charging.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] colonel_lp:
Maybe your device struggles with the undervolting? Do you still get lagging if the voltage is put back to stock values on new kernel?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Knutselmaaster:
I haven't tried to change voltage settings.

Too afraid to break the phone :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] neofral:
c'mon be brave :D

just increase all the voltages with the next available increment or check the thread several pages back our OP was describing the amount of undervolting that he did
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
As long as you don't restore the settings on boot, nothing can happen. :)

If the voltage is set higher than (or equal to) 1300mV, the phone will reboot by itself, thats all. :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
By the way, did the OTA update to version 1.2.2 work for any of you?

Download count on my OTA mirror is zero, that's a little confusing. :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Aria.A97:
It gave me notification of update with changelog and I started downloading, but at 1% when I saw file size was 226MBs I canceled progress then I dled from AFH :D you know stock downloader doesn't have pause feature :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] neofral:
i did download through OTA and flashed it manually since it couldn't install automatically
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Glad to hear it actually works. :laugh:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] alexbo:
My download Ota worked well.

Still loving the rom, just wished the BT issue would be fixed, nonetheless I'm very happy.

Keep it up.

Thanks
