Illumination bar is not working when i install t-kernel.........and when i stay on stock kernel illumination bar works perfect.........guess so it is kernel related problem.......

I flashed this with TWRP 2.8.5.0 and it works already but it didn't update TWRP to 2.8.7.0. How can I get TWRP 2.8.7.0 to work on my Xperia SP so I can format in f2fs?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Arvind7352:
Flash FOTA Kernel (necessary if u flashed TWRP with RashR) then reflash kernel

Or

Flash Tangerine via Fastboot and flash it again in recovery...
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] pilger:
Thanks mate.

I did that and now the recovery says "Cyanogen Recovery" and everytime I try to flash tangerine v6.6 I get an error saying:

Install failed
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: footer is wrong
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.

What now? :(
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] ParanoidNemo:
If you have the cyano recovery you had made some mistake when flash the kernel via fast boot..retry and see..after flash the tangerine .elf if you start thr recovery you will have Philz (vol+) andrà twrp (vol-)

Recovery Partition Not found

Hello,

after I flash the FOTA kernel to boot, and try to flash the tangerine.elf it says FAILED remote partition not found,

what do i do ?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] pilger:
I did it twice and still have the same result.

Here's what I'm doing:

1. Downloaded latest v6.6 .zip file;

2. Unzipped file on specific folder;

3. Booted into system normally ( CM12.1 );

4. Enabled USB debugging and root;

5. Opened Flashtool and set it to reboot into fastboot trough ADB;

6. Flashed the .elf inside the tangerine v6.6 .zip I downloaded on first step;

7. Flashtool said it flashed correctly and asked me to reboot into system;

8. Rebooted into system while pressing volume down button to enter the recovery;

9. Entered Cyanogem Recovery instead of TWRP or Philz.

I'm kinda lost now.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] yunamunchy:
you can install kernel directly via TWRP.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] pilger:
I couldn't because I couldn't install TWRP. I didn't find a TWRP version compatible with Xperia SP on CM12.1.

Anyways. I tried flashing tangerine .elf again and it didn't work. Then I flashed the FOTA kernel again on top of it all and it finally worked.

Not sure why, but the working procedure seems to be: 1) flash FOTA 2) flash tangerine .elf 3) flash FOTA again.

Thanks for the help, guys!

EDIT--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flashing cm12.1 overwrites the recovery back to cyanogen default recovery. So yeah... Still not working.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] pilger:
Sorry for the double post, but which was the latest version in which root was working correctly? I think [MENTION=5727088]Tomoms[/MENTION] host only have v6.5 and up so can anyone provide a link to it?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] TechnoSparks:
By diving again into the link that Tomoms has appended in the OP, you can clearly see version 6.6 hosted and is available for download.

Check again: http://cubeserver.eu/Tomoms/
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] pilger:
Yes indeed. I saw that link and searched it already.

What I'm saying is that v6.6 doesn't have root enabled with latest cm12.1 (nightly from 2015 07 27). Neither does v6.5.

I'll take a shot at v6.1_a though. I haven't tested that one.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] yunamunchy:
you can install supersu or enabling root at the developers setting. and i dont think flashing t-kernel on latest nightlies on cm 12.1 is a good idea. t-kernel might not support yet the new liblights so illumination bar might not work
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] pilger:
v6.1_a has root working back again.

And I've just noticed the problem with the illumination bar. Dammit, that's a major issue! :(

Would you know the latest nightly that was working properly with t-kernel?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tomoms:
No nightly will work with Tangerine. I'm debugging and fixing the kernel right now, I hope to get all these bugs fixed soon.

EDIT: loss of root on CM is fixed. It will be included in next version.

Fota or tangerine?

Hello!! First of all thanks for creating this wonderful kernel I have used it before on kitkat but now I am running Aicp ROM Latest Build With Android 5.1.1 and the thing I need to ask it wht shld I flash first the tangerine kernel itself or the Fota kernel first Bcoz I have installed the philz recovery with rashr?? Plz help don't wnt to stuck in bootloop again...
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tomoms:
I don't remember creating a kernel for Kitkat ROMs :p

Anyway, first flash the kernel and then, optionally, flash FOTAKernel.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] pilger:
Okay, so I flashed the FOTA Kernel and now Rashr doesn't work anymore. At all. Is there a way to get its functionality back?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] dic1911:
if you mean that the command didn't executed properly by Rashr

you can just copy that command in the textbox and paste to terminal emulator then it will work ;)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Araib93:
On HTC explorer we had that feature (tap2wake) but even after turning it off the battery usage was so high that it was removed from future kernels.. The thing is even if you turn it off it is still not turned off from kernel level and that caused unrequired wake ups. I hope in this kernel it doesn't end like that but heads up to [MENTION=5727088]Tomoms[/MENTION] watch out for those nasty wake ups when implementing tap2wake..

also is it possible to add f2fs in v1.4 ? want to try cm12.1 with f2fs but can't imagine lollipop without tangerine :p
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] TheAvengingTITAN:
F2fs has been disappointing so far, people have been reverting back to ext4. A lot of people don't even know how to get to f2fs because there's no option km the recoveries provided.

[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tomoms:
F2FS support will come within Tuesday! I won't test it because it's difficult to get it working and because I don't believe we truly need it. I mean, ext4 is used all over the world, is super-solid and greatly supported. It's been the default filesystem for Linux based systems since years (now it's slowly being replaced by btrfs), and I see no need for it to be replaced.

[Xperia SP Original Android Development] dic1911:
I didn't remember what the full command is

but i think it should start with "dd" or "busybox dd"

it's in the final lines of your log

you can modify the command yourself by changing this

v7.0 beta

I released the first beta of v7.0. Its main problem is the lack of CPU governors. An important source update has broken all the governors and so I have to find more up-to-date governors to replace the old ones. A few old governors will come back later, but some (like lagfree and probably smartassV2) will not.

So now there are only the stock ones + ondemandplus and yankactive (a new one). The problem is that yankactive is broken and will cause a kernel panic, so you

either use ondemandplus or interactive

(the other ones suck).
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Inceptic:

To those who have trouble flashing recovery images via Rashr...have you tried using v2.3 instead of the latest one? I flashed twrp using the older version when everything failed on the latest although a message says "FLASHING SUCCESSFUL" the CM recovery still persisted meaning no twrp after rebooting to recovery.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tomoms:
At first it didn't work for me either. Try to manually replace the wlan.ko module in the /system/lib/modules folder with the one I provide in the kernel zip. Then toggle WiFi on and off a few times and it should work.

Network Problem

I am on cm12.1 and using t-kernel v6..6

I updated t-kernel to v7.0 ( by wiping cache and dalvik) it was installed properly but when my device started there was no network connection..........i tried reinserting the sim but it was not working............inserted other sim too, but still same prob.

So i just restored my backup (which was done before flashing kernel) and now my sim is working

Why did this thing happen?

And please solve it!

Since [MENTION=5727088]Tomoms[/MENTION] released a .img file of TWRP 2.8.7.0, I really wish to have it as a "permanent" recovery, like it was before. When I was able to flash cm and keep TWRP working without having to reflash it whatsoever.

Any other ideas?

[Xperia SP Original Android Development] pilger:
Finally got it to work!!! Phew!

I think Rashr was messing with the process, so I wiped everything, reflashed cm12.1 unofficial from June 26th. Enabled root, opened the terminal, sent a "su" to get root and then the following

dd if=/ext_card/twrp-2.8.7.0_huashan.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel

Without having Rashr installe and the "busybox" part. It worked!.

Now I have TWRP 2.8.7.0 stuck on my FOTA and don't have to bother again with reflashing a recovery after every cyanogen update.

What is the drawback of having CPU max freq when screen off at 384MHz?

Just read the OP and it's said, that freq shouldn't be less than 700-800MHz.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] RandomUser017:
I always used it and it always worked fine.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tuxedo75:
But wasnt the v6.6 (without _a1) the right kernel for ArchXperiaLP?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tomoms:
If the max CPU freq when screen off is set to 384 MHz, the amount of incoming work when in idle is bigger than the amount of work that is done by the CPU, so the CPU is always online (no deep sleep).
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] syferdevil:
I lost my root access when I was using v6.6, I was sure I already enabled the root on the Developer options.

v6.6_a has root working back again for me.

[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tomoms:
Support for PAC, RR and BlissPop is dropped

Hello, from v7.0 the "_a1" release of Tangerine won't exist anymore. PAC, RR and BlissPop seem to be abandoned and updating the kernel could also cause issues in these ROMs, so I think it's better not to support them. Vanir seems in low activity too (there are no nightlies since July 20th) but the regular kernel will probably work on it.

If development of one of the abandoned ROM is resumed, I'll immediately re-add support for it.

EDIT: Vanir uses official CM sources so it's currently not supported, but it will be supported soon.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] RandomUser017:
ArchXperia uses a1 and is active. What about ArchXperia?

I know, but as of now there are important changes that are not merged in CM's official repo.
