Guidelines for using this kernel

What do I need to flash it?

You need to have:

A rooted phone (obvious)

CWM installed

Busybox installed (VERY important!)

A bit of courage, hehe

And about the instructions?

Very easy and painless. Just follow these steps:

Download zip file

Put it on your sd card

Reboot on CWM mode

Flash zip file

CWM will warn you that rom may flash stock recovery. You MUST answer "NO" to this question.

Reboot, and you're done.

Notes about usage of this kernel

From the 3rd version, this kernel ships their own modules. A backup is made during install, so if you want to change back to stock kernel by restoring a boot.img backup, you need also to flash the restore-modules.zip package, otherwise some things won't work after kernel change (for example, wi-fi).

Also, this kernel may drain more battery than usual.

Notes about swap usage

There are some points that YOU MUST notice before using this kernel.

Reduction of SD card life

Swap activity is disk-intensive and flash media has a limit of write cycles. So, this kernel WILL reduce your SD card life. How many time will you lose, you wonder? I don't know. But be warned.

Performance changes

Swap activity is also dependent of your SD card speed. So, if your SD card is class 4 or below, your device may get slower, so you shouldn't use this. This is for use on faster SD cards. I use on a Kingston SD card class 10, so it's fast and will provide me some performance gain. Still, this kernel might give you lags.

Use of swap files or partition files

You probably WILL need to edit the file located under the folder

system/etc/init.d

on zip package. This is because your swap device will be different from mine. I use as swap a partition on my SD card, and it is the second partition. So, the path for the device, in my case, is

/dev/block/mmcblk1p2

If you use another partition, or even a swap file, you will need to unzip the package, change the file on previously mentioned folder and zip it again before you flash it. You only need to change the part referent to device (for example, from

/dev/block/mmcblk1p2

to

/storage/sdcard0/swapfile.swp

This is just an example, your values probably will be different.

Size of swap file/partition

This will vary according to your necessities. In my daily use, my device uses up to 240MB of swap space, during some heavy gaming. So, I reccomend no more than 512MB of swap space; more than this will be probably waste of space.

That said, you may make questions, or flash this package straight.

[General Questions and Answers] Jaba2383:
This tablet is odd

I have 3 elite 7q tablets. I rooted one with kingo and have had no problems at all. I tried to root another that my daughter uses the same way but kingo will freeze mid way. I tried many times with different programs and apps until I finally gave up. Maybe try an older version of kingo. I dont remember which version i used as it was about 6 months ago. The new version of kingo declares my rooted 7q as unsupported. Hope this helps and good luck

Not sure if something like this has already been posted:

A post on the android subreddit describes improvements to the camera API with specific mention of Sony devices:

The full post is worth a read. There may be hope for the ZU camera after all.

http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/2lr0d2/an_indepth_analysis_of_the_new_android_50_camera/
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
We were hoping that the API and RAW format was going to arrive in KK as it was rumoured back then. Having access to the RAW data will help, but a noisy sensor is a noisy sensor.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] H. E. Pennypacker:
There are some photo comparisons out there of the Nexus 5 running both Kitkat and Lollipop. The improvement in quality is very very noticeable, and I will eat a hat if we don't see some improvement on the Z Ultra too.

I believe it was Forbes that tested the Nexus 5 camera.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ShadowVlican:
i hope this new camera API gets unmolested RAW data from the sensor

the JPGs this thing spits out currently is horrible
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sm0L:
Software doesn't make miracles when hardware is at fault, just think that ZU Camera is a tablet Camera and get over it :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] H. E. Pennypacker:
It's not software, but APIs, which grants direct access to the camera hardware. This is a first time on Android. What this means is that regular devs will have access to the camera hardware, and new camera apps can actually claim to take better or different photos. Want to shoot RAW? Sure. No problem. Want to dump Sony's post-processing algorythm? Not an issue.

There's probably not any issues with the sensor and module. Sony makes incredible camera modules, and even the cameras in the iPhones are from Sony. But the iPhone camera is much better than the average flagship Android, isn't it? Yes, and that boils down to the camera software. Not the hardware. So Lollipop will probably, and hopefully make a huge difference on the Ultra's camera. Low-light will still suck though.

---------- Post added at 03:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 PM ----------

There's already a third party camera app for Lollipop that does this. It shoots RAW. The app itself is crappy (according to most users), but it's more of a proof of concept at this point.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Sm0L:
I don't think you are right, imho the sensor and module of the ZU is a bit of a crap and can't get better with new APIs, but i hope your are right. ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] madphone:
But it might get faster. I think sonys post processing is already pretty good, when you consider the sensor being crap. Especially the video stabilization is impressive, it's doing a better job than some phones with OIS. But we will see when the GPE port arrives.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] H. E. Pennypacker:
Sony's post-processing is the worst.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] unidentifier:
Certainly the write-up I posted suggested it's Sony's post-processing. Sony's sensor's are supposed to be best and is what's in most top phones.

Does anyone have any evidence (aside from self-referencing the XZU and Sony phones) that the 8 MP Exnor RS Sensor itself is flawed? Any other products using this sensor that also produce poor photos? Otherwise it's just a matter of opinion (without evidence) that it's sensor vs. the api.

The only other way to know for sure is to wait and see.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] H. E. Pennypacker:
Yeah, we'll just have to wait i guess :p No reason to fight over something that doesn't have a right or wrong answer yet.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Johnmcl7:
Wikipedia list the Z Ultra's camera module as the IMX134 and is shared with the Xperia L and the Huawei Ascend G6, I don't know if that's correct or not but it's listed as 1/4in sensor which I can believe as that would account for poor image quality. Comparatively the Z1 and successors use 1/2.3in sensors which are much bigger although in general for cameras, that's still on the small side.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exmor

I don't believe there is any way we're going to see drastic improvements from Android 5.0, I do think Sony's image processing is an issue because they're trying to push a poor sensor too much resulting in noise reduction and sharpening which is far too aggressive. Dealing with noise is difficult, it's unsightly but the more aggressive the noise reduction is the more you lose detail but companies generally favour reducing noise at all cost on small, noisy sensors. Dialling back some of that aggressive processing will probably help the image quality a bit but ultimately it's still a small, noisy sensor and there's not much you can do with that.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Triflot:
Interestingly, this review of the Xperia L touts its "fantastic camera", concluding that "we feel that the camera is really something special. For those that want a decent camera phone, but don't want to pay loads, you might want to look at the Xperia L."

Expert Reviews say they "were impressed by the performance of its backside-illuminated camera sensor" and that it "takes some of the best low-light photos we've seen, with far more detail and less than noise than the Samsung Galaxy S4's shots. Daylight photos were acceptable if not spectacular. Contrast was impressive, with no sign of overexposure in lighter areas even on a sunlit day, but details became muddy when we zoomed in, showing the limits of the Xperia L's eight megapixels." Is the Ultra's sensor not backside-illuminated, maybe? The L also has a flash.

On the other hand, CNET is disappointed in its low-light performance. Trusted Reviews agrees, saying "Indoors, the Sony Xperia L camera is affected by yet more issues. While the camera takes balanced, good-looking photos in bright, natural light, in dim indoor lighting the white balance is off, resulting in ugly yellow tinged photos. The inbuilt flash does little to help, either." They say it does have "many positives, including a pleasing colour balance, sharp focus in shots".

PC World is generally happy with the Ascend G6's camera, saying "photo performance is generally strong — especially when you keep the Huawei’s price in mind — but we did encounter signs of flaring and feathering during testing. Image noise is present, but its at a low level, while the on-board HDR mode does a decent job at capturing detail that is otherwise lost."

These do take into consideration the price of the phones, however - they're both much cheaper than the Ultra was at launch.

Edit: All that to say, maybe there is hope in the software department.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Johnmcl7:
Why does it have to be 'serious' photography? I have many dedicated cameras from 1in sensor size up to professional full frame setups but none of those cameras are small enough to keep in my trouser pockets all the time, I tried recently going for one of the smallest dedicated cameras I could find but even that was irritating to carry in my trouser pockets alongside the phone. My phone on the other hand is always in my pocket and always to hand so it's ready to go any time when I want to take a photo unexpectedly plus its online connection means the photo is immediately ready to upload the photo if I want to as well. Some of my dedicated cameras have wifi for transferring photos but it's still a fiddle in comparison.

I don't need an amazing camera but I'm just disappointed how poor the Z ultra camera is, I find I use it like an older camera phone where it was only really handy for capturing serial numbers or information I need to quickly jot down whereas I used the Galaxy Note as a camera a fair bit and while the quality can't match the dedicated cameras it could produce reasonable pictures. I'm seriously considering going for a Note 4 and taking the hit on the screen size to get the better camera, it will be a few months before prices are reasonable so that's time to see if Sony announce anything (which I seriously doubt) or anyone else offers anything interesting with a larger screen.

With regards to the Z Ultra sensor, I'm surprised it is BSI as I thought I'd read initially when considering the phone that Sony had taken an older sensor and rebadged it as Exmor RS which made sense. There's not many sources for the camera module but the few I can find agree with Wikipedia as do sources for the Huawei and the Xperia L, is there any way to verify this in software on a Z Ultra? With regards to photo quality on the Xperia L and the Huawei G6, I am surprised by the positive comments even allowing for them being budget phones and the G6 having a faster lens (F2 rather than F2.4 on the Sony's). Then again some of the reviews of the Z Ultra aren't that hard on the camera either so it's difficult to tell objectively, DXOmark haven't tested it (admittedly I'm not convinced by their testing anyway) nor have I seen any particularly objective testing.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] amit.tiger12:
LCD screen got scratches, I think while applying Scratch guard, that man has used some different cleaning liquid and that liquid removed the scratch resistance layer, so it exposed the main lcd and got scratches, thats what I think.

And after that, my N5 was dropped in bucket of water. After doing so much of hard work I removed all water with hair dryer. Mobile is working perfectly. But screen got damaged, screen looks wired and some water in it. I waited for 2 weeks but still water is there.

I bought N5 from play store.

I went to the LG service center, they said as you opened up the device warranty is void now. So they told me replacement cost is 7500 rs. for LCD and for LCD + digitizer cost is 8000 rs.

Are they provide warranty with the new screen if its again damaged?

what if the lcd showing some pixel after few days? there are some chances that LCD can be fake or not upto quality of original LCD of N5. Did anyone replaced their N5 LCD?

Anyone still in warranty (India), are LG service center providing replacement with nominal fees or for free?

I want to replace LCD + assembly. Please guide me through this. Should I buy from online store, street store or replace it by Authorized LG Service Center.

Thank You.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] oRAirwolf:
Hey,

I am looking for a hard case that I can put my Nexus 9 inside of when not in use. I generally keep my tablet in my backpack and while I am careful, it doesn't exactly get treated like a little baby bird (the backpack and it's contents). I hate cases for cell phones and tablets and I don't want something that is meant to stay on. I am looking more for a hard shell that I can place the tablet in for when I am not using it. Like a Pelican case, but not stupid thick. Does such a thing exist?
[Nexus 9 Accessories] Pilz:
This poetic case seems right for you:

http://www.amazon.com/Google-Nexus-...qid=1415765793&sr=8-5&keywords=poetic+nexus+9

So far that's the only heavy duty case I have seen. I usually have a TPU case AMD a sleeve and call it a day but it depends.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] oRAirwolf:
I definitely like the ruggedness of this case, but I am looking for something a little less permanent. Ideally, I was thinking of something like the Pelican 1065CC (http://www.pelican.com/cases_detail.php?Case=1065CC) except less extreme. I just want something that will protect the tablet when not in use. I guess what I am looking for is fairly niche, so I may just have to get the Pelican and be done with it.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] Pilz:
Pelican makes great cases, I still have some for my guns and they are ~6 years old and still holding up just fine.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] oRAirwolf:
Agreed, I have several of them for guns, cameras, etc. I just feel it is a little overkill for a tablet that I carry around with me, but then again, maybe it isn't....Overkill is underrated, after all.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] oRAirwolf:
I just went ahead and ordered a Pelican 1065. Hopefully it isn't too cumbersome.
[Nexus 9 Accessories] marctronixx:
look forward to your review...
[Nexus 9 Accessories] Pilz:

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 335Deezl:
Hello all,

I bought a (verified good ESN) Droid Ultra from Craigslist, for... get this... $15, which supposedly had "water damage". Well, in the process of successfully reviving it, I noticed handwriting inside of the back cover, in silver or white pen, which said "2 of 14", and since other scribbles, resembling initials. Had anyone else had their Ultra cracked open, and noticed this, or is mine "special"? The back covers are surprisingly easy to remove (I just ran my thumbnail around the seam), and there doesn't seem to be any tamper tape anywhere on this thing, although removing the back cover is all the further I got. The water intrusion sticker, which is on the upper right, inside, wasn't bright pink, but didn't have any distinct x's on it, either.

Probably isn't anything, but I had to ask.

Take Care,

Deezl
