Thanks for everything, but I guess I'll either hold onto my current setup under 5.1.1 to keep this kernel, or maybe it's time for an Z5 Compact, which is still supported, right?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fluffi444:
That exactly what I thought also! Good Kernel is the most important for Android phone! ROM, or not ROM - Good configurable Kernel is more essential !

And that happens right the day official Marschmallow for Z2/Z3/Z3C arrived... Even more sad... :crying:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] AndroPlus:
Yes, Z5C is still supported (no thread on xda, though)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] tjfxxx:
Z3c firm 232

Hi

I am here from Brazil and the times I have been wanting to try this kernel, but my doubts and the next, I will lose the quality of the camera using this already kernel boot'll be unlocked? thanks for listening ..
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] dreadkopp:
will this work with 6.0.1 ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fluffi444:
No. Never. Development stopped.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] istux:
Without Androplus kernel, my z3c has become an empty shell :(
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Revontheus:
Aww Man I wonder why he would stop developing for Marshmallow but I respect his decision. It was a great kernel, and really an essential to anyone who uses Lollipop.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] shrazy:
Man whatcha doin'? You know that you're the only one who hold our devices at life, cause you are the only developer which grants a kernel for us and it is not that just you're the only one but one of the bests in this sector.

Beside that: How can u sell a device like Z3??? :eek:

That thing is legendary and it's hardware is still high-end today as it do his job in every part just perfect.

Man before you leave, you could give us a marshmallow kernel based on the z5 ones so that there is not really much to do for you. Now we have fallen into a hole without any alternative man what we should do beside crying our live has no sense anymore :crying::crying::crying:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] istux:
He bought an xperia z5 and probably he sold his old z3 to afford it.

He can't develop a kernel based on a hardware that is not in his hands anymore. And he's right sadly :(

Stay here crying is useless anyways.

A good solution could be to give him the money to buy another used z3 for development (if he's available obviously!).

We should involve all z2, z3 and z3 compact owners :cool:

I'm in for 15 dollars! :good:

What do you think guys?
[MENTION=5169444]AndroPlus[/MENTION] do you like the idea? :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fluffi444:
Yes - That's what I thougth also about this - Lets start a bounty hunt :)

I would be in with 10 USD

Anyway - I thing the reason why he sold his Z3 was not because of money but because of loosing interest?!

And maybe way to much work especially since MM arrived...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Myself5:
That certainly offends me.

If somebody cares, I was thinking about providing a MM compatible Kernel with basic features like kexec hardboot once I am done with porting it to other devices, but as everyone here seems to only care about AndroPlus I probably should overthink that decision.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fluffi444:
I think no one whats to offend someone. Especially not one of the main developpers for Z-Series. And the post of [MENTION=5159164]shrazy[/MENTION] was surely not in this direction. Maybe he missed to say "for stock kernel". Afaik your focus is/was on custom stuff and custom kernel (CM etc) and up to now AndroPlus was the only one who focused on highly configurable stock kernel... That was my inpression since I arrived at Z3C...

For sure we ALL would be happy if someone elso (maybe you?) will work out something for stock MM kernel. And you for sure has the knowledge to do it the right way! For me it was the first time that I read about your plans. Maybe because I'm not "everywhere" in forum or because I focused to much on stock section or maybe you didn't mentioned it up to now. Don't know...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Myself5:
Seriously, this community has to start learning that developers do things for reasons. This is not a daily base job, devs do it in their free time, yet everything users do is complain and ask for more.

I seriously can't stand this any longer. And crying about someone not being there anymore is nothing which is helping much. Go and learn how to code, thats the best everyone can do for hisself. It's not wichcraft ffs.

Oh btw: Good example for this would be that I have MultiROM v34 working on shinano plaform since about a month, but I'm not going to release it because I know for sure, that other than being happy that I released it, the first thing this community is going to do is asking when a kexec compatible Kernel for Marshmallow is coming, and I am tired of this.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] someone755:
I'm sure nobody here meant to offend anyone. Just want to point out something:

Problem 1:

No Marshmallow kernel source out yet. Though Alin says they're working on it.

Problem 2:

Recently kernel sources haven't been updated on sonyxperiadev's kernel-copyleft branch, and this just makes it harder for us to track the changes.

Problem 3:

As far as I'm aware, Myself5 and AndroPlus are the only two on the z3c forum that provide a tweakable kernel. One's gone, and the other one already maintains a ton of projects (that are, by the way, much more interesting than working on stock).

Before you ask what the hell I'm doing, I already addressed this in my own thread, and I think I nailed it when I said this:

Besides I'm pretty sure both Myself5 and I are slowly preparing to move our focus onto newer things, with M5 already going at it on the msm8994 platform (and top secret info: he's considering the X Performance) while I'm waiting to see what this year's Nexus and Xperia phones will be like.

Though he was a bit harsh and generalized, M5 is mostly spot-on in his post above. Here's a short anecdote about how I started being a part of XDA beyond just the receiving end: I made my own **** when I realized nobody else was going to. The original repo is still up and honestly it's terrible because I had 0 idea about how kernels or git worked. But I worked through it in my free time, with my own money, and through that I learned a ton, met lots of cool people including one guy who even gave me money to keep me doing what I do for my own enjoyment. (Though what really made me bloom was what he had said after I asked him if his donation was a mistake and if I should reject it, but this is already a bit too private.)

There's another side of this though. Upon releasing some of my stuff, so many people came to me not with critique of what I had done and suggestions, but instead demands and quite hostile criticism that was based on nothing but opinions and ignorance (also happened recently when I released a test version of the .232 kernel).

I have so much more to tell you all but even this wall of text here isn't coherent and I'm running on sugar, 3 hours of sleep, and 4 exams behind me this week. If I get another message asking about a custom stock kernel or a custom stock kernel feature I don't know what I'm going to do...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Cirra92:
Sadly, I have to agree with you this. People here on Z3C forums have too much requests and minimal understanding behind developers work and lack of their time to do it. And even with given answers, they blindly continue to request without reading and using search box.

However, I will agree with [MENTION=4962787]fluffi444[/MENTION] that you misinterpret what that dude said, I'm sure he meant "stock based kernel", but he was a bit oversensitive about it.

I am using your MultiRom atm, dualbooting Slim 5.0 and your Carbon Rom with [MENTION=4275152]someone755[/MENTION] 's r_07 kernel, and trust me, I'm surely not alone in appreciating your work and using what you two have made, there are good and reasonable people here, the problem is, there are more of those who post without thinking and making mess of various threads.

Do not get offended by them, you and [MENTION=4275152]someone755[/MENTION] are the only people working on custom kernels (be it AOSP/CM based, doesn't matter) and I have seen that he posted something about doing a stock based kernel, but didn't want to put pressure on him in any way (and that's probably what other normal people thought). That surely does not mean we are not interested.

If you do want to stop developing for Z3C however, I'll understand why, and that won't be strange, but take note that people saw your and his contributions in various threads, and we are sincerely thankful.

(I personally have a lot of obligations at my university, so I'm not able to learn coding, if I had chance I would surely do that.) Cheers!

Agreed with you as well. Sad truth about the Z3C community. (No offence, there are still good people, they surely know who they are).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Fictional Reality:
I'm still waiting for the MM kernel sources so i can build my own kernel and add the governors i prefer without getting screamed at by devs when i ask if they plan to include additional govs for their kernels. Sonys copyleft is ancient
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] shrazy:
C'mon guys my post was ironic, i mean no ones gonna cry really. I'm not really deep in the Z3C section and dont know all developers and maintainers but my intention was not to offend someone as I just know AndroPlus and no one can say that he isn't one of the best known developers in Sony section. If you develop a kernel for marshmallow, what else do we need? Nothing!

So keep up your work we need good developers for Z3C, as we have one of the best devices out there and they need to get penetrated to their fullest in sense of performance :D

Take your time and surprise us with a Kernel that we never could even expect in our dreams :D

You know that this is the opportunity to get in to the steps of AndroPlus and overtake the Z3C section and reputate your name in sony section as one of the best developers...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] istux:
Your post was CLEARLY ironic. Don't worry ;)

I guess that [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] was in a bad mood and read what he wanted to read in that moment, due to a situation that he can't mentally stand anymore.

He's in part right about what he's asserting, ok, but it was one thousand better if he started saying "Guys, I'm thinking to work on a custom kernel based on stock, if you're interested... etc..."

Now let's stop this flame and see what we can do all togheter. Ok? ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] someone755:
I'm going to be completely honest here, no holds barred.

My problem is that XDA has become even more cancerous than when I found it when I joined in '11 (myself contributing to the bad quality of posts back then). You may think things like /r/xdacirclejerk are just a bunch of idiots, and indeed they are, but all of their content is based on what happens on xda.

You dismissed what M5 was saying (although he was a bit extreme) as if it were nothing. His message had a meaning, and starting with what he did was for a reason. We do this at our own expense, not because we're obligated, but because we like doing it. And that is quickly changing because of the people we come in contact with.

The ignorance shrazy showed in his comment (and admitted to) just popped M5's bubble, and I can do nothing but stand behind what he said. Here's the deal: AP's kernel is a mess. The git branch is dirty, the recovery system is outdated (and frankly just not needed), and the kernel has all sorts of issues. It's specially heartrending once you go a bit deeper into AP's branch history and see the amount of kangs he's made (dirty ones that don't even work, at that).

I have nothing against Ryo but putting him on the pedestal and telling us to follow his steps is degrading at best.

And I salute you for it. Just don't be smug about it.

(By the way, irony and sarcasm aren't really obvious through online text without a lot of context. Keep that in mind next time you guys want to be ironic.)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] lilloscar:
Please recommend to us some configurations with Fuaxclock for the Z3c.

In my case the only issue is when I have a call, phone rings but the screen didn't wake up.

I just need some fast typing and smoothness on SwiftKey, and save some battery.

Thanks in advance!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] someone755:
1. What's a Fuaxclock? If you meant Fauxclock, imo Trickstermod and Kernel Tweaker are better alternatives (though the kernel doesn't have enough features for any of the three apps to be able to enable all their features).

2. Again, and this time hopefully for the last time, nobody can recommend you any settings without precise knowledge of what you want.

SwiftKey will work fine in any case and the OS will stay smooth even if you cap the frequency at 1GHz. If you want smoothness, set the min frequency to something higher (everything from 300MHz to 729MHz has the same voltage, so there's no change in battery drain). Set the max frequency to correspond with how much power you're willing to give -- mine is at 1728MHz (since beyond that the voltage just keeps going up through the roof).

My personal preference is to also enable intelli_plug though YMMV.

If anyone's looking for a setup of the kernel, PM me or hmu on Hangouts or something (or find another soul who's willing to sacrifice his time) rather than posting it here!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] lilloscar:
Thanks for your great answer, at first I was using intellimm governor (don't know if it caused some unexpected restarts) then reading I changed it to intelliactive (does it is the same as intelli_plug??) and no more restarts, it responses right on incoming calls too.

I still use *fauxclock [emoji28] because I purchased it.. If really need another app I will try them

It works fine, thanks :good:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] ifonuser78:
I've unlocked my bootloader and was rooted before. Now I flashed 23.0.1.A.5.77 using the Flashtool, had to use fastboot to install the AndroPlus kernel but opening SuperSU gives me an error. How do I root? The recovery TWRP 2.8.1.0 is operational.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] AndroPlus:
Updated to v11

Now sound control is working!

I also added glocklee's patch for LED notification (always on).

http://youtu.be/XUbh8D651oA

Basketbuild became slow connection, have 15 seconds wait time, no MD5, ...

so now kernel zip is hosted on my website (can show MD5 and download immediately;)).

My server's capacity is not so good, so please don't copy and paste direct download link to another websites.

[UPDATE]

Added "How to restore DRM functions" section in OP;)

Thanks to jimRnor, we can use fully functional Z3 Compact with unlocked bootloader!

How to flash Fotakernel

Hi,

I have one - big - issue: locked bootloader; I need root; I can't flash direct kernels, is not possible.

I think flashing TWRP to fota and separately superSU can be solution

The Androplus thread is the only one where I found usefull info about fotakernel;

Have any idea if it is feasible to flash fotakernel.img, who may contain twrp, and to boot on it and later to flash superSU?

I found in first post this reference: "fastboot flash recovery fotakernel.img"; so I believe that is flashable from fasboot. How to extract fotakernek and from where? is containing TWRP? How to boot later in Fota recovery? in order to flash supersu.

Andro, please help!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] someone755:
You can't flash jack sheet without an unlocked bootloader.

You'd need Sony's signature to sign the image prior to flashing to have the flash succeed.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] daphix:
The xperia kernels are particulary; if I flash not entire kernel, only recovery by fota image, should it works?

Any ideea is how to push recovery on it, or only su using adb commands?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] AndroPlus:
Updated to v13

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Updated TWRP and intelli_plug, and added "fast hotplug" by pec0ra!

I could enable it, but I don't know if it is really working well...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] kutaxov:
Hello, AndroPlus.

Thank you for your work.

In the 13th version of the problem - in TWRP all increased, because of this, the screen fits only part of the image
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] AndroPlus:
Oh sorry, I forgot to change resources for Z3 Compact...

Here is updated version, it will work now.

v13a D5803

v13a D5833
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] kutaxov:
Thank you, it works!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] someone755:
The newest version's TWRP is a mess. Reboots when flashing, never ending wipes etc. Is there a log of this behavior I can get that would help fix it?

EDIT: v12 turns my display off when double-tapping my Muzei wallpaper.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] jsscx:
i found no matter which rec wiping system or cache would take a really long time
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] someone755:
That didn't happen to me in an earlier version (though I forgot what version that was).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] m0d:
I am trying to compile TWRP for z3 compact wiith no success.

I noticed that your kernel includes TWRP.

I would like to know what settings and changes are needed in order to compile TWRP for z3 compact?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] someone755:
I think he mentioned already that he's using an amami (z1c) build of TWRP.

FOUND IT! http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57082556&postcount=25

Could that be the cause of the ****-slow cache and system wipes?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fluffi444:
Actually there is a really good thing in this whole discussion...

Main players are sitting at the same table and taking about plans... No matter what the result will be... :good:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] shrazy:
But y'all miss some point here. Because of me the big players in sony section moved in here to discuss, otherwise they would not answer...

We really thank for your hard work I know you guys make a good Job but why you have to diss and disrespect AP's work? Maybe it isn't the best kernel (in my eyes it is without the chance of any competition) but he really works hard for us without crying about the users being mean to him. He just deliver his stuff like a real developer. He don't let us wait for months without any update, he listen to us and just delivered.

But what'cha doin? Crying 'bout shrazy has said this, shrazy has said that....

I just say it because we as users are frustrated also. We have hope, we wait for things to move, we look especially up to the rom/kernel developers with skill (yes the guys here are meant) and wait for months without anything gonna move forward.

We are greedy, we are root junkies, we can't just sit there and wait we need to flash, modify something we are addicted to this man...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] istux:
Don't worry, I got what [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] meant, in fact I said he's in part right.

I'm not a developer, but I spend a lot of time in general sections taking care of FTF lists every single day, trying to help people when I can, writing tutorials in English (that is not my native language), making little fix with SystemUI.

Sometimes people asks too much and sometimes in a rude manner and without respect. All true.

I also received threats (sad but true) via PM because of late Beta releasing: they wanted me to release immediately my Beta backup while, in the meantime, I was making a flashable zip with serajr in order to make their life easier. Do you think someone apoligized? Obviously no.

So, I know how the pressure could be huge for you -real developers- and I know all this can turn your joy in devoloping into a frustrating nightmare sometimes.

This is true.

I can also add to your statment that sometimes it depends also on which part of the world you are from and that in English it's hard to express what you're used to say in another language. ;)

[OT]

For example, in my country if someone's late of 20 minutes and you're a little disappointed, when he finally arrives you can say "it's 2 hours I'm waiting for you". It's a nice way to express disappointing and, at the same time, to joke about it. Obviously it's not true that I waited 2 hours and the sentence is clearly exaggerated on purpouse. It's absolutly ironic and friendly.

When I started to travel around the world, I learned that this kind of speaking is not suitable in many places and can give big (and painful) misunderstanding, as they get your statement very seriously and they don't get the irony, because of culture differencies. :eek:

[/OT]

Anyway the "ironic" context was present from some messages, so I repeat my point of view: also if [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] has its good reasons, he made a mistake to express his thoughts that way.

I esteemed him and his works across Sony devices fora and, frankly, I was shocked when he wrote "I was thinking to do it, but now I think I won't".

What is that? A kind of revenge?

Do you want to punish an entire community for some wrong things or behaviours you cannot stand anymore? :eek:

That's not the solution mate (and somebody could think that you're abusing of your developer position)

Relax, do what you like and enjoy it.

If someone don't recognize or respect your work or your efforts, just NEVER MIND.

For any of these people, there are 10 that are grateful. :good:
