Because there were some issues that derived from a new function definition. I'll try to re-add some governors later. At present I'm working on v8 which will require some more time unfortunately due to issues in the source.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] RandomUser017:
As many others said. Quality is better than Quantity. It is better having 3 good governors to choose from instead of 8 outdated governors which only bloat the kernel...

Just tweak governors and you will achieve the same as smartassV2.

I have a rather minor question, compared to all this serious discussion about bugs, improvements and other stuff. Why would one pick this kernel over the one that's bundled within a custom ROM? How would I benefit having this kernel over CM12.1 kernel?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] flash-:
it have alot features that's all ...it have very good governors and some core control stuff along with faux sound feature ...etc ...etc )

these are not presented in stock kernel that comes with the custom ROM

T-kernel 7.1 with official nightly. All is fine. Just missing the LED notif. I saw changelog. They fixed that one on this release. Kernel related?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tomoms:
What they fixed is not the LED notification feature, it's only LED permission.

Ok, v8 is out!

Be sure you have read the new installation method before you install this update.

Even if the poll showed that you like PhilZ recovery, I had to remove it because it gave me some trouble... I'll try to readd it soon, though.

Enjoy this epic update :)

[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tomoms:
Redo the installation process in this way: enter recovery, flash StyrFlex, reboot. Then, if you haven't got a recovery, flash one with Rashr and then flash Tangerine again.

v8 isn't packaged in an .elf format because it uses anykernel.

Tangerine kernel uninstaller

Hello! I will release a Tangerine uninstaller for those who want to go back to the default kernel without reflashing the ROM. It will be released together with Tangerine 8.1. This is a summary of what it will do:

when installing Tangerine v8.1 on top of stock kernel, a script will copy the stock kernel to /sdcard

original modules will be copied to /sdcard/old_modules

the uninstaller will restore the original boot.img and the original modules

EDIT: before Tangerine v8.1 I'll release another update only for those running official CM. It will fix the 3 LED notification bar, if you flash Adrian DC's patch first! Tested by me. As soon as the corresponding commit will be merged into the official repository, this release of Tangerine won't be needed anymore.

I forgot made especial steps to flash tangerine v8.0, i updated from v7.1 and now i have HARD BRICK

You must always remind yourself when dealing with these kind of things. As mentioned in the OP, the responsibility is yours for taking the risk.

[MENTION=5727088]Tomoms[/MENTION]

Say I have a ROM that runs with tangerine 7.1. What will happen if I flash tangerine 8.0 without flashing the ROM zip beforehand?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] RandomUser017:
No, no. I made the same mistake. It seems like a hard brick because no logo is shown, but it is still a soft brick and can be fixed. Here is the fix:

All you need to do is go into fastboot mode and flash the kernel.elf from Tangerine 7.1 or 6.6.

To do this do this:

Install drivers for the XSP (I assume you already have them). Extract Tangerine kernel zip file.

1. Connect your phone to your PC

2. Open FlashTool

3. Force turn off your phone (via back cover, off hole) and wait until it vibrates 3x

4. Quickly hold the volume down button and wait for a blue light

5. Select the thunder and select Fastboot mode and select the .elf file.

Thanks man!! it's works !! What a relief!

I was already searching another phone to buy! :D:D
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tomoms:
Odds are you will experience ramdisk-related bugs.

EDIT: on CubeServer there's a new version: tangerine_v8.0_CM.zip. It's for those running official CM nightlies only. It has got the latest updates + 3 LEDs working. All the other users (unofficial CM users included) should use the normal release.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] so1o#:
Does it work on dirty flashed ROM too ?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] leotimus:
Errh, thats mean I need to flash the original rom before update the latest Tangerine? Could you please show me some sources that I can find Xperia SP default rom -_- I have no backup of it.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] ParanoidNemo:
Not the stock ROM..you have ti reflash the ROM you want use t-kernel with so the kernel will be overwrite and than flash t-kernel. You could do everything without reboot
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] leotimus:
Ok, I am using this ROM http://xdaforums.com/xperia-sp/orig-development/5-1-1-cyanogenmod-12-1-t3096100

And t-kernel version 6.x

So all I need to do is flash t-kernel version 8 and reflash the latest cyanogenmod rom ... is that correct ?

Thanks :)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] RandomUser017:
Dirty reflash the ROM (to remove the old Tangerine kernel) and then you can flash 8.x
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] ParanoidNemo:
Nope. The opposite..first reflash the ROM..then t-kernel ;)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] leotimus:
Silly :silly: it seems that I used the kernel and rom so wrong way. I thought the kernel is something control hardware and the rom is software on top of kernel. :eek:
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] ParanoidNemo:
Yes..more or less..but if you flash ROM after kernel the kernel included into the ROM will overwrite the custom one..so you need to flash custom kernel always after the ROM

it keeps not working

Hey guys!

So, to me it seems a big issue, but I hope my thing would be easy to you, I don't know that much. Here's what's happening:

I used CrystalPA before, then I decided to go for OwnROM 5.1. I performed a clean install thru CWM, but I flashed old gapps, so it bugged. Then I flashed the right gapps (delta gapps, 5.1). Still didn't worked, the home wasn't opening, so I flash the stock ROM so I could use my phone for a while. On wednesday, I rooted the stock, then flashed the ROM again, this time with outdated tangerines (they seemed to have less bugs to me - reports that on v5.0 the wifi was working, and that's pretty much all I need). This time the ROM booted and I could play with it, but the wifi switch still doesn't turn on. I flashed every tangerine I could find, from 6 to 7.2, with twrp and cwm. Nothing. Than this guy told me today to flash it all over again, this time rebooting between ROM and gapps. I did. Clean - install ROM - reboot - install gapps - reboot - flash stock kernel - reboot (soft brick, bootloop) - flash t8 - reboot. Everything works beautifully and smoth, but with no wifi it's useless to me. Any ideas??? Do I need to flash another kernel, or another ROM?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tuxedo75:
Ok...I installed the 8.0 over Stryflex LP and now kernel bootloops on tangerine logo and no lights so no ability to activatre any revovery...so.now I've to fastboot kernel with flashtool but I'm not home until Sunday so no phone till sunday...

I wonder why...I falshed with twrp over Stryflex kernel as described on op and gets that issue...I really have no luck with that kernel....The only tangerine that previously I can flash and works was 6.6 (no a1) but with that no root...so useless...

Any idea why so much problems?maybe the voices about weird cpu stocks for xperia sp right? I really dont know what to think....

[Xperia SP Original Android Development] shavendum:
Move this to q&a thread. They might not answer it here. And I believe you flashed kernel via fastboot and that is causing WiFi issues. Try flashing kernel via recovery.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Kaiser_Y:
Already did with twrp, still not working. I didn't knew that was a q&a threat, I'm moving it.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] flash-:
yes it should work ...but not for sure !! so do a backup first ;)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] TechnoSparks:
Yes, as long as you are pretty sure that you are running the ROM's default kernel, you can flash Tangerine 8 over it. :)

Use tangerine v8.0.zip.

The cm version is only for cyanogenmod official noghtlies.

2. Flash the zip of tangerine.

[Xperia SP Original Android Development] TechnoSparks:
It should theoretically work since v8 is a version that is made intended to be supported across all ROMs.

But being that so you will still have to try. If you have free time by your side you can do a nandroid backup first then attempt to flash the v8 on your blisspop. If fails and blisspop has been problems, just reflash the ROM zip or restore your nandroid backup.

intent of nandroid backup is in case something went horribly wrong
