Kernel Merging Status

I currently have both the needed kernels at my github (Sony + CM)

I will be syncing the 2 repo's to my Ubuntu Server and will try my best to merge both kernels to one single unified one. Future Progress and status updates will be posted onto this thread and i'll be trying my best to get one kernel published. My Z3 is out for repair and I can't test it myself so I'll occasionally pop some builds here and there and you need to try them out individually to see if they boot.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Furrydaus:
The merging in progress is at around 20% but im running into a couple of branching and git related problems. Ill try to fix them but it may take a week or two before the merging is completed sadly. I may also not complete the kernel in that deadline because i have some projects that i need to also complete for the Xperia SP.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] :
Dude, get your priorities right! :D

That's ok. Thank you for your work. That's amazing.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Furrydaus:
Hahaha i am trying my best to give all the users a new experience while also helping developers provide them that too. I have like 6 projects to finish so yeah. By that time, it will be time for school to reopen and my developments will slow down even more. Need to rush lolol

need cm11 rom for z3/z3c

coz I like z3c but dislike lollipop
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Furrydaus:
Hello,

Im sorry to inform everyone that my kernel builds dont work and have gone to nowhere near booting and has almost put my z3 into jeapordy, needing to send it to the Sony service centre to get it fixed for a steep price (I would say). All the builds (~40) have gone to either build errors or unbootable kernel builds. Im sorry that I am unable to produce any positive results from my end. Good luck for the future cm11 Untouchab1e.

Regards,

Furrydaus
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] :
That really sucks about your phone, but thanks for your hard work on this.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Furrydaus:
Your welcome. But im really disappointed that things didnt worked out :(
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Untouchab1e:
No worries mate. If it was easy, everyone would do it :) Appreciate the effort you laid down! Cheers!
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] someone755:
Pardon me for this (probably) stupid question, but have you tried simply building the kernel from Sony's sources?

Take the stock Sony source zImage and add it to the CM11 ramdisk. Used to work on some older phones.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Untouchab1e:
That is the case with the current build obviously. You can read more about why a CM kernel is necessary on the CM wiki.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Robin>Hood:
I don't know if it's on or off topic, but why build CM 11? Why not build an AOSP 4.4.4 rom? Wouldn't that be a lot easier? Then use the Xposed framework to get the CM features working on the rom.

I mean, CM 12 will be stable enough as a daily driver in a few months, why not make life a bit more easy on yourself? :)

Anyway, good luck with your project, I kinda prefer the KitKat look over Lollipop hehe!

*I do not own this phone, I was just checking out the development threads out of curiousity*
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] android_fury:
I think this project is dead, which is too bad. I dislike Lollipop as well and really miss CM 11, but I don't think it'll ever happen.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Untouchab1e:
I would be more than able to port CM11 to the Z3 now. But offline life has kept me extremely busy lately. When things go back to normal in a week or so I'll take care of it if people want CM11.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] freddy1991:
Yup

Prefer cm11 to cm12 as cm12 is not yet very complete

Flashed cm12 3 days ago, but flashed back to stock rom just after 1 day of use
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] radjan:
If it works for D6633 I'd like that also. Unfortunately, CM12 is not working on the Dual SIM version, so if there's a compatible CM11 version, I'm all for ti.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] freddy1991:
That's why I didn't buy the dual-sim variant although I wanted it

Lol
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Untouchab1e:
Dual SIM support is not something I can promise, so I wouldnt hold my breath Im afraid.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] android_fury:
That would be awesome! If there's anything I can do to help, let me know right away.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Furrydaus:
I rather that the ROM boots before any feature is implemented. If it works well, bugs and feature requests can be easily adopted by Neil. I'll pitch in too if the ROM boots. As of now, my Xperia SP community is more of an important task right now. Good luck to you Neil in the development and your "offline life" ;)

Sorry for the lack of updates. Im am still working on it. Figured there's no point in releasing something that's not at least suited for daily driving, but Im confident Ill get there soon :) There were more dependency issues than I anticipated that needs to be worked out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Jeddi2x:
Every once in a while my sd card acts stupid and deletes all my data, I had a question on why that happens. Also, I wanted to know why all of the sudden none of my music plays, it hasn't been deleted, but it keeps saying unable to play and I've been playing the same songs on it from before this ever happened. It's only the songs on my SD card and not my internal one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] southsidexz:
Could be a bad SD Card. What brand are you using??

I've had this issue before, where my pictures would still be there, but any new pictures won't show up on the SDCard. If I tried to delete a file it'll magically re-appear. I found out it was a bad SD card.

I've had this issue twice (different SD cards) with a life expectancy of about 1 year for each card. The brand that I experience issues with were Sandisk 64GB Ultra.

After the 2nd one failed (the first one I couldn't get replaced) I contacted Sandisk via web chat and told them about my issue. I stated that this was the 2nd time it had happen and I was highly considering switching brands. They immediately offer me a free replacement. Which I took it, but in the mean-time of not having an SD Card I found a deal for the Samsung SD card (64GB Pro) for about 24 dollars. It was a deal so I took it, I haven't had an issue since.

Hope it helps. :)

After overclocking the phone to 2.3ghz max and 1.2ghz min using No-frills CPU Control, I get lags then after closing the app and going back to it again, it becomes underclocked to 1.2ghz. I have not even enabled power-saving mode! any fixes for this?:crying::crying:
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cookan:
am I just astoundingly unlucky or is there a problem ! My first M8 (new last week on a 2 yr contract from Vodafone via carphonewarehouse) arrives through the post from CFW warehouse and I happily use it for a week...i apply all the updates, all is good. Then I go to use a nav app on a walk and find it's not turning. googlemaps the same, no compass apps are working either. I return it to a CPW store on Monday and swap it for a new one. Googlemaps looks ok instore so I walk away.

That day at home I start playing and find the compass needs constant calibration so I suspect a problem and log a call with HTC. That night, I accept the 4.4.3 OTA update and immediately following that, the compass now locks up as it did with the first one.

Logged the extra info with HTC and they took me through a factory reset, cache wipe, safe mode...still same problem.

THe compass will occasionally rotate on first opening googlemaps but within seconds will 'lock' up and refuse to move unless you navigate away from the app and back again..at which point it works a few seconds then locks up again.

Anyone else got a stock M8 experiencing the same problem ? can't be just me surely ! It wasn't until this M8 that I even had the need to calibrate the compass and I've had loads of HTC's in the past..

Ant.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ptp170:
Hi Ant,

I have exactly the same issue. No amount of 'resetting' will fix it. The compass is off by 90 degrees and then freezes completely after a few seconds. I've only noticed this as I write 'Metal Detector' apps for Android and couldn't figure out why nothing was working properly on my new M8. The magnetics on X, Y and Z are completely screwed up, see my post here if you're bored http://www.basic4ppc.com/android/fo...applications-using-the-magnetic-sensor.45170/

Coincidentally, I also got my phone last week from the Carphone Warehouse as well...

Also I've just ran the Hall-Sensor Test using HTC's inbuilt test function. If you type *#*#3424#*#* into the phone does it fail the test also?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cookan:
My hall sensor seems ok on this one...I was using a dotview case on the first unit and decided not to use it on this unit until I knew what the problem was as I was suspecting the magnet in the dotview could have been putting the compass out. It's possibly worth you (and anyone with the same problem) raising a ticket with HTC. I did it via the live chat on their website and they were very good (although you'd need to set aside time to go through the whole factory reset / wipe cache / safe mode diagnosis before they'll escalate the issue).

as with anything like this...the more people that have the issue and raise it the better but it's only you and me at present ! I also logged a call with Vodafone who said I had the option of returning it today (the last day of my 14 day cooling off period) for a replacement or different model but I said I'd like to keep it for now but wanted them to log the issue. If it's a hardware issue, we have a 2 yr HTC warranty..if it's firmware, then it'll get fixed anyway so I'd rather keep it than mess about with a different phone.....however I am annoyed because a month or so ago I vowed never to go HTC again having had 5 One X's replaced over 2 years (screen creak, faulty wifi antena - the squeeze test (had this twice), faulty radio antena draining battery), and here I am again...

Ant.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ptp170:
I'm using the freebee case that came with the phone. Does the compass still freeze with your replacement then?

I had the same woes with my One X but I keep returning back to HTC each time :D

Chris
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cookan:
The replacement needed regular compass recalibration...I noticed it only because I was specifically looking for a problem. It was fine all day, just needed calibrating all the time...then I noticed the 4.4.3 update notification so thought I'd accept it to see if that fixed the problem...then the compass started to freeze up completely and has been like that ever since.

The first unit I had I didn't notice any problems until the first time I USed the compass on a walk..that was a week in, and I'd already applied the 4.4.3 update..I imagine i would have had the same calibration issues had I used the compass before I'd applied 4.4.3.

Cheers

Ant.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ptp170:
I updated my phone to 4.4.3 within minutes of stepping outside the shop so no idea of it's behaviour before hand. The Carphone Warehouse has a 28 day windows of opportunity to replace a faulty handset. After that period it technically has to be sent away to HTC for repair/replacement. The 14 day 'rule' is the cooling off period relating to your contract (i.e. if you suddenly you discover you have no phone signal at home when the operator claimed you should have etc).

I'm getting mine replaced in a few days. A friend of mine who works at the CPW is going to see if the replacement phone is likely to be of the same delivered batch to the central warehouse in a hope of possibly identifiying a dodgy batch..
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ptp170:
Just to keep this thread updated as well, my replacement M8 which came with 4.4.3 preinstalled this time still has the issue of the compass freezing after a few seconds.

All magnetics readings on X, Y and Z axis are zero.

Some of my friends use M8 didn't have the issues, but there's one had the same issue, didn't know why....

But the navigation is alright, only the digital compass will point the wrong direction,

my friend had contacted the HTC call center, and HTC already knew it and will enhance the digital-compass function.

I think it's software issue, but not everybody will come across it.

I contacted UK HTC support today regarding my ticket and was told they are aware of a compass problem with ALL M8's following the last update and this will be fixed in the next firmware release due mid October 'so anytime now' . So don't hold your breath...but at least confirmed by HTC that this is a firmware issue that will get resolved.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jshamlet:
I'm not sure what is different about my phone, but the compass is working just fine. I recently re-ran the Developer Edition RUU and let it up take OTA updates to 2.22.1540.4. Other than having to calibrate it in GPS Status, I haven't had any issues. For giggles, I took out my old Motorola Electrify, calibrated its compass, and the two were within a degree or so of each other. (which, given the hardware, seems reasonable)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cookan:
my stock M8 bought a month ago took the OTA update and ended up with 2.22.401.5 (in the UK). so maybe your revision doesn't have the same issue ? I'm still a bit unconvinced to be honest. For HTC to be including a fix in a release that's already going out they must have known about the issue ages ago to be able to fix and test ready for this release. I raise a ticket a week or so ago and HTC support don't know anything about a problem....either they're rushing in a fix or tried to keep the problem a secret....or haven't fixed it at all...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seadersn:
does someone know, if there ARE different revisions of our m8...? haven't informed myself til now about that, maybe someone already knows the answer? :)

jshamlet, is your gps working? do you get a fix in gps status and tool box? btw, gps essentials is a very nice app, too ;)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jshamlet:
Well that was interesting. I just took my phone out to a nearby field, turned the GPS on (which I normally leave off to save battery), and the compass went wacky. I was able to recalibrate it, but it started jerking around a bit, as if it weren't updating very fast. The GPS, however, locked on to 12-14 satellites and got a solid fix. Even in my office, it is able to see 9 and get a fix.

What is odd is that the compass was pretty spot on until I turned the GPS on, and it seemed fairly stable. The minute I turned the GPS on, the compass started acting up.

So I had CM11 working flawlessly on my phone but I was going to switch to T-Mobile and the phone can't be unlocked from AT&T unless it's a stock rom. So last night I looked up how to flash it back to stock through Odin and that failed (Loading I747UCDLK3) so then I followed a method posted by Mrhayley30705 (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46954804&postcount=119) and that still didn't work. Now I'm stuck at a firmware screen that tells me the firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Kies doesn't do anything for me and when I try to use heimdall to re-flash the recovery.img it tells me "ERROR: Failed to access device. libusb error: -12".

I spent about four hours reading and looking different things up but I can't find anything. I don't care about any of the warranty counts or data stored on the phone I just need it back up and running, either stock or CM11 like I had. I can still access the download mode. I would really appreciate any help!

Can you boot into download mode and have access to a Windows machine? If you do, use Odin to flash Philz Touch for the d2lte and see if you can boot into recovery. If you can boot into recovery, copy CM11 back onto your phone to make sure if can boot to the phone's desktop and get a signal.
