Try this just for ur nandroids for compression. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2889794, i confirmed 77 degrees with this kernel on backups which is easier on the cpu. From there u can just easily reflash ur andro from twrp after backups done. Hope it helps. An app such as rom manager can flash img's on the fly. Just pls be sure u flash the right variant to avoid brick.

@AndroPlus i have no idea how this is even possible but i felt i should tell you. Tuning sound control with 3C toolbox (android tuner) has made it stick. Even with walkman. Im running sound control at 0db for 2 days now sticking.. But if i do it with trickster or any other app it reverts. Possible workaround for now maybe? It may work for others.. Try it

F2FS works if there is it in output?

I'll add back F2FS to test.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Verbato:
Yeah, F2FS works ONLY if it is compiled in to the kernel (and hence, is shown in /proc/filesystems, which shows what filesystems the kernel supports).

I can format F2FS, but I can't mount it as long as the kernel doesn't support it. :P

EDIT: BTW, why did you pull it from the kernel? What was wrong?

bro just did a full backup today with a battery of 21 percent after backup 17 percent with enable compressions as i was planing to flash a cm12 rom called candy5. I guess dont need to worry about failed backup again due to rise of temp to 95+ when finally comes to data partition. do i need to wipe dalvik-cache/cache again if i need to flash 21a kernel?

One member reported he couldn't format as F2FS in TWRP, so I thought it's not working at all...

---------- Post added at 03:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 AM ----------

Formatting works fine. Problem is the booting afterwards. So I guess there's some mount thingy that's expecting ext4 rather than F2FS, somewhere in the ramdisk. I'll have to look in to it. But not right now.

It's good night sweet dreams-time here right now.

But thank you! :)

Now f2fs works fine?.. Can I do a backup before of my system and change the partition ext to f2fs, and restore my backup this will works fine?

I was reading about f2fs, and we need a ROM f2fs so I can't install stock ROM, how we can convert the stock rom to f2fs?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Verbato:
No. You can fromat it to f2fs. You can write to f2fs. But you can't boot it.

I'm trying to make it happen. I'm sort of lazy so might take a few days.

So far I've only found what doesn't work. :P

Also, I might upload a minimal ROM you can use (based off of the Norwegian standard one).

Might. (Though any ROM should be able to boot, it's all in the ramdisk, just one single file that matters, three simple lines)

We'll see. But for now, give AndroPlus a big thank you for all his work.

He has been very helpfull and kind. :)
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Jojih:
I read somewhere that restoring someone else's TA files would hard brick my phone. That's true, right? So what difference will it make if I follow AndroPlus' instructions to restore DRM features?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] 3x3cUt0r:
Each DRM key is different, you can't flash someone else's TA to your device. The method is a "hack/workaround" or something like that, is not really restoring the DRM keys.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] marceldossantos91:
Sorry for the noob question, but how do we go about using f2fs? Heard u need to format ur partitions and change rom for compatibility? Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Verbato:
1. You edit the fstab of both the recovery-ramdisk and the normal boot-ramdisk so that it mounts the selected F2FS-partitions as F2FS.

2. You mkbootimg the new boot-image, flash it to boot and boot it.

3. You edit the updater-script of the ROM you wish to use to either not format the partitions you will be using as F2FS or make them format them as F2FS (safer).

4. You format the partitions you wish to use as F2FS as F2FS.

5. You install the ROM and cross your fingers.

I've been going in circles for a while now. /cache mounts fine as F2FS. /system and /data however...

So I'm trying to figure out why that doesn't want to work.

However, twrp mounts everything just fine as F2FS.

I just have to try and try again until I get it right.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] marceldossantos91:
Thanks for the reply but lol im not to clued up on working with the ramdisk, any simpler way? Lol, as for the updater, just replace ext4 with f2fs? Thanks

Friends, for what is "Threshold Vulue" into intelliplug settings? Which one is the correct value for better performance? I don't care the battery life :), Thanks for the advance!

Xperia Z3 D6603.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] Verbato:
1. Why, yes there is! Wait for someone to figure out how to make it happen! Then just flash that kernel and...

2. No. - simple way is to remove all format and mount in the updater-script, then format it your self in TWRP and check that /system and /userdata is mounted before you start installing.

OR...

Change it so it says:

unmount("/system");
unmount("/data");
unmount("/cache");

run_program("/sbin/mkfs.f2fs", "-l", "system", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");

run_program("/sbin/mkfs.f2fs", "-l", "data", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");

run_program("/sbin/mkfs.f2fs", "-l", "cache", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/cache");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/cache");

package_extract_dir("system", "/system");

I think it have something to do with the way Intelliplug scales between frequencies on the onlined cores. Not sure really..

According to Faux (Paul), higher Threshold Value is better for on-screen battery, so lower value is better for performance.

Thank you for this awesome work on the kernel androplus. When I flashed it the system lagged even less than before. But somehow, when I use your example settings, it lags. Maybe some certain setting causes it, I don't know so far.
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] marceldossantos91:
Settings differ to your preference. His was in my opinion power saving. For me i have found smartass-v2 and fiops scheduler to give me the best experience of balance between battery and performance with mp decision instead of intelliplug, but its just my preference. However i get 6 hours SoT and 48H battery life on normal usage with those settings but play with it to your preferences.

Sometimes to get better scores, leave your phone in the refrigerator or under cold water when running benchmark, as when the cpu heats up, it will automatically throttle down thus affecting scores. I'm getting 40000+ when the phone is cooled

Unfortunately I've to say that no matter how I set the kernel I got a laggy result. The only thing which gets me best performance is when I leave it as it was set after flashing. Maybe there is something wrong i do or i don't know.

By the way, I read about all options including governors and shedulers of the kernel.

---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 PM ----------

@AndroPlus i suspect after some tests that antutu has an issue with some users cause it tries to set the min_max cpu freq to 833000 and 1728000. My catlog shows it gets alot of cpu freq errors even without running benchmark. I then used fx file explorer and mounted system r/w, and some errors went away but not all. Anyway it doesnt affect functionality but might be a step closer to figuring out whats wrong exactly that causes a reboot? Oh yes and 2.9ghz doesnt work anymore from v22 up.

Oh yeah. I switched from intelliplug back to mpcdecision. It's really better now!! Thanks.

Probably intelliplug is not good in general or it contains some bug ?
[Xperia Z3 Android Development] marceldossantos91:
Not bugged just set more on battery savings. I somehow strangely find mp decision easier on battery and much quicker than intelliplug, it seems to decrease alot of system responsiveness but the idea remains the same to save battery. Glad your issue is sorted. Id honestly rather have response than 30min more battery lol i have managed 7.5 hrs SoT with smartass and mp decision, good enough for me :)

Only v24 has this issue though.. Tested V23 and below works perfectly for me other than benchmark issue, i have only seen 1 random reboot happen on my phone since v18 upwards. Just warning cause v24 made my phone call random ppl and that could be disastirous for anyone else if it also happens to others or you.

Try this and see your results.

Set brightness to about 10% on ur settings, leave auto brightness on just adjust it lower so it lets the sit go lower, setting it to low though and you wont see much, hence mine on ~10%, use 2.457ghz instead of 2.57, decrease voltage by 24mv all steps, set cpu gov to smartass H3, i/o to row, and gpu to 400mhz on powersave, enable stamina without restrict performance, add w/e apps u want to exceptions. Then set location in settings to 'power saving' instead of off or device only. Use the settings mod [MENTION=4970751]Rajeev[/MENTION] provided, use the auto boot manager and restrict plenty stuff u dont need to boot. See how much SoT u pull then, ive managed 2D 16H on time and 8H3min SoT, u should get similar xP (edit) oh and try also disable d2tw and d2ts if u use it. I cant say this is optimal gaming settings but mine seem to run just okay, but to have some longer juice this worked for me without comprimising UI smoothness

Added benefit of having dual recovery after flashing this over DooMLorD boot.img - now got cwm and twrp!!

Very comforting to have my device set up as I want now, ta / DRMs backed up up but never needed to be restored on my prior Z devices, so rolled the dice that I won't need them this time either ?
