Lol I think everyone's got that memo by now :p

Nah man I think you're doing a bang up job as it is. The SP developers on a whole are a bunch of great guys. Plus the SP community is active. Its the reason why a phone well over 2 years old doesn't find itself binned in the Legacy & Low Activity Devices section, a section my brother's more powerful and expensive ZR finds itself in.

Long live SP and its developers :highfive:

[MENTION=5727088]Tomoms[/MENTION] any new news or ideas that came to your head about the new version of T ? :)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tomoms:
v6.3 will be another small update but it might improve gaming performance (I tried Asphalt 8 and it is laggy and unplayable, while on stock ROM it's super smooth) due to some tweaks in the GPU driver. As I mentioned earlier, it will be released tomorrow.

weird, i play asphalt 8 smooth with T-kernel v6.2 + blisspop 3.5 or cm12.1, i even underclocked cpu 1.5ghz n gpu 200mhz to make device cooler n longer battery life. but i still get 35% battery drop while playing asphalt8 in 2 hours nonstop

Does is solve the black screen while receiving calls? I had that problem with AICP+ Tangerine 6.1
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] dic1911:
that sim fix is just a script that set the kernel to permissive on boot

you won't need it for this kernel
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tomoms:
Bad news

:( :(

I've got some bad news for you: my kernel builds with FauxSound break mobile network, calls, data etc. I'll search the web for a fix and/or I'll ask here on XDA. In the meanwhile, I'll release other updates of Tangerine kernel that will include the following features: overclock, intelliplug, fast hotplug, msm hotplug...

I won't give up!

Flash stock kernel and stock fotakernel with flashtool, then reflash the elf.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] headbon3:
Thanks for the kernel but i want to stay on stock kernel since tangerine's SElinux is disabled...what i meant about flashing on my recent post was the tangerine kernel. I can't get it to TWRP even pressing up and down volume keys. Any other way to obtain recovery without flashing since CM's recovery does not allow bad signature zips to be flashed :(

Latest news from me

Hi there!

A small update about the future of Tangerine kernel:

- v1.4 will be released soon, it will basically have some more optimizations compared to v1.3, no new features.

- v1.5 will have f2fs support so the kernel will be compatible with CM12.1 from [MENTION=5411190]Mrcl1450[/MENTION]

- v2.0 will have FauxSound working (do you remember my previous post about FauxSound and its problems? I'm almost sure it was not FauxSound's fault :):)) and it will come straight after v1.5.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Spasik:
Just a question, how about 2tap2wake will you implement it in the future ?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tomoms:
Yes. All the other features will come after v2.0.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] anisingh62:
And add a xzdual recovery in it which is more important as well as double tap to wake function............. And please tell us the best setting of your kernel including cpu governer, i/o scheduler and every other setting.

I think it will solve this issue.

EDIT: new version is available!
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] somberchocks:
On it :o

Edit : AICP is upgrading so no bootloops :D

Edit 2 : Seems to be working fine. Boots into Twrp by default now as you said.

Edit 3 : Games seem to be working fine too. Just fired up Sky Force for a while and it ran smooth without any lag or framerate issues.

All's good for now. I guess its holiday time for you. A bug or two can wait a few days if they exist :p
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] flash-:
any one who want to confirm that the T-V6.3 have solved the calling problem (i can't download it now and flash it :p )

make sure your phone screen was off for more than 3-5m cuz if you just turn it off and called your self immediately the screen will light up even if you are onv6.2...etc )

thanks tomoms ...hope it's fixed :)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tomoms:
If it's not fixed, you'd better try again once AICP 10 is released for our device.

[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tomoms:
Now I'm on CM but I don't remember facing it when I was using AICP and Tangerine v6.2...

As I have already said, wait for AICP 10. Now Tangerine v6.3 uses some parts of code that are more up-to-date than AICP's equivalents.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] kanabol:
But this delay is like 4-5sec :/ its a bit too much
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] waseemakhtar:
The delay of 4-5 seconds is also present in CM12.1 default kernel.

Warning

As I have already said, I'll stop developing this kernel for about 10 days. During these days new builds of AICP, OwnROM, CM and other ROMs will probably come, so I think it's a good idea to give you this warning: Tangerine may break many things. I saw some changes in the ramdisk on GitHub not to mention some code fixes. So if you don't want to experience any issue, flash stock kernel + new build or do not update to a newer build. When I come back, I'll release v6.4 to fix these problems that may arise and then I'll start working on some new features.

Could you solve the screen flickering and screen freezing once in 2-3 seconds ?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] flash-:
screen flickering has no solution :p
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] YektaOz:
you're wrong, Sony solved it on .205 or .201 update... And it' s a software problem, it has a way to solve i think...
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Araib93:
It's a hardware problem that Sony solved with a software update (as much as I have searched) secondly there might be a fix in work (I don't remember who it was but a dev asked on cm12.1 thread to run a script and tell screen manufacturer name and the result according to me were those who had Samsung screen didn't flicker so I have to believe that a fix is in progress)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] TheAvengingTITAN:

it's problem in the new line of our phone and it's a hardware problem the first place ....how come some users have it and some users don't ?!

Sony solved that thing with a software update i know ....but how about you flash any custom ROM or kernel ? the screen will start to flicker...

i asked the developers and no one know how to solve it ...but the deve adrian dc is working on it i think.... but i'm not sure if there is a solution

i said no solution cuz there is no solution for now ...i don't know about future but i know i'm not wrong about what i said ;)

They're so lucky... Cuz screen flicks and freezes every 2-3 seconds and this is ******* annoying...:crying:
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] somberchocks:
This flickering issue, its that bad? Seen you post about this multiple times. Having never encountered this issue myself & since my phone shipped with 4.1.2, mines probably one of the earlier ones. All the new ones have this issue?

I am guessing since you bought your phone with the latest stock firmware already installed, you weren't aware of this problem until you started flashing at which point asking for a replacement wasn't an option anymore.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] avi.singh9993:
Not able to change values in kernel auditor for sound.

The headphone gain and speaker gain remain +7 and +4 respectively. Any solutions?

Prang said that flashong fotakernel and then again flashing tangerine may do the trick. Can you look to it please
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Erik FX8:
If I'm on CM11 with CWM can I flash T Kernel in order to flash AICP?

I mean no need to flash T Kernel with some other recovery?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] somberchocks:
It changes after rebooting you mean? Well it did the opposite for me - everything ended up being zero.

It happened when I changed the value by pressing the + - button. When I changed the values by moving the slider, the values stuck even after a reboot.

If it doesn't work for you, you can make a profile in kernel aduitor and apply it everytime you reboot. Not the optimal solution but atleast this way you don't have to go about changing the values individually everytime.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] flash-:
no ....just do a full wipe then flash the AICP ROM ;)

then flash the t-kernel then reboot :)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] somberchocks:
You should be able to. If AICP is all you want, in that case I suppose you don't even have to flash T kernel but of course with the default AICP kernel you won't have Philz or Twrp recovery so you can't install stuff later unless you have a recovery in your Fota kernel.

If you are unable to flash the kernel via CWM, you can always extract the .elf file from the zip file and flash it via fastboot. Then boot into recovery, flash AICP, flash gapps and reflash the Tangerine kernel zip to reinstall the kernel.

Of course do a clean install...goes without saying.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] avi.singh9993:
i have tried changing with +/- button too, but after rebooting, back to these values.

i have never tried creating profiles, will try that.

when you remain on auditor screen, the changed values work but as soon as you leave kernel auditor only sound values reverts back. don't know why this happening. i mean why these values are increased in first place, quality degrades after 70percent volume.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] flash-:
I know what you mean... I have the same problem... I looked for it but until now no solution was found :)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] somberchocks:
Dunno why it isn't working for you. Moving the slider did the trick for me. Maybe go clear cache and dalvik and try again. No harm in trying right?

Also by any chance have you forgotten to enable the Apply on Boot option?

Edit - Truth be told, the thing's a bit iffy. My phone rebooted a couple of times with the changed values. Other times it ended up in a boot loop. Rebooted without clearing cache and dalvik and the values were reset to 0.

So I set everything except Headphone poweramp gain (set it to 0) to 8 just to see if it works. Phone went into a boot loop. Went ahead and cleared cache and dalvik. Rebooted and the first 3 values remained unchanged. Speaker gain changed to 4 and the last option went back to "current option is not supported".

Meh the thing's buggy. Best leave it as it is till its fixed if you ask me.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] avi.singh9993:
hey i have discovered something weird,

when the headphones plucked in the speaker gain value can be changed but the headphone gain value does not change, and when no headphone plucked in speaker gain revert back to +4 and headphone gain value can be changed.

don't know what is this :p

developer should really take this into consideratioon
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Mortuum:
A quick question.

Right now i have on my device the XZDualRecovery. can i install Tangerine over it?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Arvind7352:
It definitely shows an error... Its "sysmount" error I guess...

Just flash the ROM...Boot Up...Enter The Inbuilt Recovery (Flash a ROM which has an Custom Recovery)

OR

Enter the ROM...Flash TWRP via RashR

And then the Kernel

OR

Fast boot Method (Easy) - Direct Flash of Kernel
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Mortuum:
I am new to the whole "flash scene" so sorry if i sound dumb. I was planning on installing tangerine with CM12.1 from here: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-sp/orig-development/5-1-1-cyanogenmod-12-1-t3096100

In theory, i could install it, run its recovery (which i think is philz) and flash the kernel without issues?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] somberchocks:
Well if you are new to the whole "flash scene", I hope you have been reading up and that your boot loader is unlocked at the very least. I am also gonna assume you are on stock firmware and don't have a custom recovery installed.

CM12.1 or most of the 5.1.1 ROMs don't have Philz or Twrp recovery (they have the default CM recovery) so you would need a custom recovery to get started.

Download Tangerine kernel. Extract the .elf file from the zip file and flash it via fastboot. Now you'll have Tangerine kernel with both Twrp (vol down) and Philz (vol up) recovery.

Boot into either recovery and perform a clean install of the ROM + Gapps (clean install = wipe everything apart from your external storage where your Rom & gapps files are located before installation).

Now reflash the Tangerine kernel zip file from recovery.

Wipe cache and dalvik.

Reboot.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Mortuum:
Yep. I have been reading a lot. The bootloader is unlocked and its still on stock rom. I had an issue with the stock recovery not loading so i flashed the XZDualRecovery(Twrp (vol down) and Philz (vol up). I think that is considered a custom recovery.

The rest of the steps are pretty clear. thanks :)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] somberchocks:
You couldn't load stock recovery because stock SP firmware doesn't have a recovery as far as I am aware and yes Twrp and Philz are custom recoveries.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Mortuum:
I though as much. Arvind7352 told me what to do but at this point i kinda lost it.

So far my SXP has: Root access, Unlocked bootloader, Stock ROM, Twrp and philz recoveries. What must i do in order to setup tangerine kernel and CM12.1? If i install the CM ROM do i have to remove wrp and philz afterwards or will it be overwritten on its own?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Arvind7352:
Hmm

Idk which ROM has Inbuilt TWRP or PhilZ Recovery (really) in it's stock kernel

I guess AICP has it ( confirm it dude)

Can anyone answer the above ^^ QN for him?

If u already got the answer then flash that ROM...

Kernel of that ROM with

TWRP and(or) Philz would b flashed

Which is of a recent version and which would b able. To flash Tangerine Kernel...

U would have Tangerine Kernel with the latest TWRP 2.8.7.0

Then u can flash ur Desired ROM (as u said CM12.1)..

XZDualRecovery isn't suitable (according to me) for flashing Tangerine Kernel (only) coz it is for Locked Bootloaders and An Older Version too :P
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] flash-:
reboot to recovery ....do a full wipe ....flash t-kernel then flash the ROM you want(5.1.1. of course) then reboot to system :)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] ParanoidNemo:
Latest t-kernel doesn't have twrp as default recovery? I have flashed 6.3 but I have only philz
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Deleunes254:
I've been thinking, and I hope this might sound as a good Idea.

I think most users (and if not most perhaps some) miss stamina mode from stock roms. As far as I'm informed it wasn't possible to port because it was an issue with kernel compatibility or something like that.

I'm still a fan of stamina mode. Since i'm on Aicp, with greenify installed and running good, my battery still "drains" when screen is off. (not badly, just being used in Background)

This did not happen with stamina mode.

Now my question is, is it possible to port? And if it is kernel related, would you want to add it to this kernel?

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] halloarno:
Prangr8 (dev of aicp) had given an alternative suggestion in the aicp thread (post #3) for stamnia: power NAP (xposed module). It works pretty much simalor way.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] antr34:
u either have non stock fota or pressing the wrong button, flash stock fota from 1st post or press the vol down, latest T-kernel has both recovery n twrp as default
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Deleunes254:
Thanks! Didn't see that before.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] ParanoidNemo:
Strange because after unlocking I have flash only t-kernel..but ok..I have some way to check if the fota contains some other recovery before do the all flash thingy?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] somberchocks:
If there's a recovery in your FOTA kernel partition, then that's the only one you can use so if e.g you installed the latest Tangerine kernel which has Twrp recovery set as default but whenever you boot into recovery, you always keep ending up with Philz, then there's a recovery in your Fota partition.

To get rid of any recoveries installed in the Fota partition, download the Fota kernel from the Tangerine thread and flash it. Its just the Fota kernel part from stock 4.3 firmware I think and flashing it will remove any previously installed recoveries.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tomoms:
I'm not a big expert so I hope that what I say is correct :)

As far as I know if Stamina was tied to the kernel it would have been easy to port because Sony has to release all of the patches it applies to the kernel under an open source license. Stamina is tied to that part of the ROM that is developed by Sony and therefore it's not open source as the rest of Android is.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Deleunes254:
So because sony doesn't want to make that part available to the public, we're stuck with it? :/ damnit :p We can't look into the rom files?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] yunamunchy:
if you want stamina mode or similar , you can try underclocking and use battery saver mode. as for my experience battery saver in lollipop is better.

Stamina is like bravia engine, works only on stock or stock lbl rom because is "linked" to ta partition..and it will be erased when you unlock..I don't think there are any hope to port it (wish I can be wrong)
