If you're asking if T-kernel is pre-installed with StryFlex ROM, then no it isn't .. But if you're asking if you can install it with StryFlex, then yes. but so far using stock kernel with StryFlex ROM is much better

Disable KSM (no reboot, no freezes, no lags) :)

i report 3 issues:

1) 281 mhz default voltage 975mv, higher than 384 mhz(900mv)

2) max default frequency 1674 mhz

3)KSM cause sporadic freezes and reboots (tested with retroarch psx emulation)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tomoms:
1) I know. That's a problem.

2) I know. That's not a problem.

3) Not for me, however it is known that KSM should be disbled when playing games :)

So, version 10 is not properly working on Cyanogen based ROMs, but it's working on AOSP-base ROMs?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tomoms:
???

I'm using v10.2 on CM12.1, not a single problem.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] varioventus:
You don't have those scaling issues? That's weird. Some have those problems, some others not...
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] plutopippero:
sim services unavailable

Another little issue is the lack of sim services with tangerine kernel, with stock kernel in xenonhd i can recover information about remaining credit (postemobile operator).

Last one i can't change virtual memory z-ram disksize (freeze) :(

I have not found any other issue, this kernel is fast and stable :)

thanks a lot

I don't know but sometimes "sim tools" shortcut in drawer setion disappear .

i think it isn't a kernel issue, actually i can access to sim services, do not consider previous post.

sorry:p

Try turn on Z-RAM with TricksterMOD. I works,but cannot change size,too!
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] flash-:
for those who want to change z-ram ....

for me only first few boots and few hours of usage of new Rom CAN CHANGE Z-RAM .....but after 1-2 days of using the ROM whenever u want to change it it will hang the force reboot of the phone ....so if u want to change z-ram change it on the first few hours of flashing new ROM :)

idk if [MENTION=5727088]Tomoms[/MENTION] can change that even after few days .....but this is what happen with me :)
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tomoms:
With the next release there will be 1 or 2 workarounds to change the size of ZRAM. I have started working on it but it doesn't boot... I'm doing some debugging this weekend.

Weird News

Hello! I'd like to announce that the update might be delayed due to weridnesses such as: features that should work aren't working, things that should be broken, are actually working :p

As soon as I manage to understand what's going on, I'll resume the work :)

EDIT: update is definitely delayed to the weekend or next week.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tomoms:
Good news: finally I've got a booting build!

Bad news: you can't change CPU governors.

I'll keep you informed.

EDIT: CPU governor bug was temporary, after a reboot it disappeared. :good:
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tomoms:
New version available!

You can now choose your favourite splashscreen! Be sure to read the first post.

Thanks to [MENTION=6163210]TheAvengingTITAN[/MENTION], [MENTION=6294473]Deleunes254[/MENTION], [MENTION=4719374]Steph310[/MENTION], [MENTION=5359773]Erik FX8[/MENTION], [MENTION=2587401]NeuroticallyYou[/MENTION] for their artworks.

If you don't choose a splashscreen, the default one will be used. This means that if you flash Tangerine on top of stock kernel without choosing a splashscreen, you'll have the black "SONY" splashcreen.

downloaded v11 fom kernel adiutor ...flashed it and rebooted ...it got stuck on black screen ...hard reset then booted i got stuck on a black screen too (using temasek full f2fs )

i'm gonna try to download it from AFH and edit this post if it's working or not :good:

anyway ..thanks for ur work :)

edit : i downloaded it from AFH and it's the same i'm stuck on black screen no boot animation were shown

hope somebody else can confirm this on latest temasek build ...
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Rupant:
Same here using temasek latest build.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tomoms:
It's so obvious! Sorry guys, 11.1 will be out in a few minutes. The fstab line that makes /system mountable when it's formatted in f2fs is missing, so this problem happens only on Temasek with /system in f2fs.

EDIT: fixed!

[Xperia SP Original Android Development] quetzalcoatl2435:
I think I'm getting a memory leak with v11. RAM fills up after 12 hrs, after which the phone gets hot & laggy because it keeps reloading & caching apps. On the plus side, changing zram size works perfectly.

Cpu scaling issues, solved or still there??
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tomoms:
I've never had them. To solve them, I must experience them. If you have them, tell me and I'll tell you what to do to help me identifying the cause.

I'll leave my phone on for two days and tell you.

Same.

I tried flashing TK 11.2 via download and automatic recovery install - black screen on boot - hard reset; tried flashing original ROM boot.img first then TK - black screen on boot - hard reset; tried flashing via TWRP manually - black screen on boot - hard reset and had to flash original boot.img to get back into the phone.

Any ideas?

[Xperia SP Original Android Development] -Mr.freeze-:
when I change Z-ram and reboot I have size 190mb again.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tomoms:
It's normal. You have to enable the "apply on boot" feature in your kernel management app.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] -Mr.freeze-:
But I enable then boot. Maybe I forgot made this.

I try now this again.

Well, I try change and reboot phone. Z-ram still return to 190mb
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tomoms:
Do you need to change ZRAM size frequently or you simply want to set a persistent value, different from 190 MB?

[Xperia SP Original Android Development] -Mr.freeze-:
size frequently. I usually do not change size of Z-ram. But it should work as it should

I want to experiment with values

It's russian

Like all previous versions. From recovery.

Special for you:
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tomoms:
Then follow these steps:

open Tangerine's zip file

open the fstab.qcom file which you'll find in the "tools" folder

delete the last line, the one that refers to ZRAM

repack the zip and flash this kernel

Then your value will be set at boot.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Naveen004:
Thank you
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] -Mr.freeze-:
I try It. And It work! Thx.

What about adding new features? For example some features:

* Sweep2Sleep

* Gentle Fair Sleeper

* CPUPower ARM

* Clean RAM Cache Now

* CRON Tab

* Attempt add Gestures to wake - doubletap2wake/knock knock. Yes, I know that CPU of XSP is not suitable for this. But I think have chance

For example you can take some features from this kernel: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=519645&view=findpost&p=42401606
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tomoms:
I'll check that kernel.

I want to make an important announcement: I'm leaving the custom ROM/kernel/modding scene for awhile (a couple of weeks). Then I'll start working on Tangerine for Android Marshmallow (T4M), which will be a brand new kernel based on the cleanest sources available to get a really stable thing. It will take some time to put all the features that are now present in Tangerine for Lollipop in T4M, so you'll have to wait, but considering that it will take some time to get a working M ROM too, this is not so bad. When somebody starts using M, I'll ask him to become a tester, and step by step we will build a great kernel :highfive:
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] -Mr.freeze-:
yeah, You can contact with the developer neXTerUltim. If you want I can help with this
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] yunamunchy:
we used to have dt2w and s2w on the xperia which is an older phone. it is possible but it takes hard work , still waiting for a stable M rom though

[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Tomoms:
I want to announce you that my new kernel will be called

Helium

. If anybody wants to create a splashscreen, it will be very appreciated! Thank you :)

BTW, tomorrow I'll release v11.3 which will fix some kernel panics and then Tangerine will be declared dead.

This is just my opinion, and what you do depends on you. ;)

I always have problems with official CM12.1 and The latest Tangerine Kernels. Everytime, after a few days, I always get hangs with the device, lag and various other **** that makes me angry. Does anyone else suffer from this too? Sometimes it flies but other times it terribly slow. Only in response. I have OC'd it to 1.9GHz and running bioshock governor. Also after giving it a long charge, the device is stuck and I need to reset it. In day to day use, it keeps up and does a great job, but sometimes I cannot rely on it. :/

[Xperia SP Original Android Development] francescohtc:
i don't know why you and other people ask for features like that...

Zram or Swap will slow down a slow phone, those features use the EMMC that in our case (xperia sp) is really slow, so are totally useless.

So then what do you say to the people who have experienced notable differences after using these features? ._.

Zram uses a compressed block to store pages in the ram itself. Swap uses emmc.

Here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zram

Used to be known as compcache (cm7 days for me).

Edit : [MENTION=5727088]Tomoms[/MENTION] just a suggestion but consider updating the kernel with kernel.org patches I.e. update from 3.4 to 3.4.107.

Also awesome stuff going on here ?
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] francescohtc:
Placebo effect.
[Xperia SP Original Android Development] Araib93:
I have a UHS-1 sd card so I dont think swap partition will be slow by any means. Also why bother if you think they are useless features, no one is forcing you to enable them just saying. Use them if you want to else that update should be like the previous one without any change for you.

That's a strange issue I've never had. Try to wipe cache before flashing. I strongly discourage you to use an old version of Tangerine, it will give you problems for sure. I also suggest you not to use Tangerine at all. Use either the default kernel or try Helium.
