Could not find better words than [MENTION=1844875]CosmicDan[/MENTION] said, but I do use undervolt because I found that it helps keeping cpu temperature a little bit cooler. (doesn't hit the throttle as fast as without undervolt)

I can't find any improvement in battery life with or without undervolt as power management is very good already on this kernel.

Though this belongs in undervolt and benchmark thread, I will share my undervolt values for u here:

384mhz: 700 mV

486mhz: 750 mV

594mhz: 800 mV

702mhz: 800 mV

810mhz: 800 mV

918mhz: 850 mV

1026mhz: 900 mV

1134mhz: 950 mV

1242mhz: 1000 mV

1350mhz: 1025 mV

1458mhz: 1037 mV

1512mhz: 1050 mV

Just remember, no device is the same and even though we might have the same cpu binning, that doesn't mean we can use the same values.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] CosmicDan:
Silly me, I didn't even consider the lower thermal footprint of undervolting. A perfectly valid query then, I apologize [MENTION=5627933]androidexpert35[/MENTION] :)

Then use search function and find the guide which will explain how to change recovery. Easy.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
New build is up!

Changelog:

* Small changes to the input boost driver (increased input boost freq + boosting time)

If you want more smoothness go for it, if you look for better battery-life then better leave it.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] danishaznita:
Haa yes i agree on this . Without undervolt . My stock 384 MHZ voltage is 900mv (binning : 1 "slow") and it would reach 75C+ while benchmarking and shutdown. So i cant play game or do benchmark even on stock non rooted rom .

With this kernel . I undervolted -100mv (idk how slow binning can survive this) and increase the shutdown temperature to be 80C . Now the temp doesnt go above 72C . Minor diffrents but hey . Atleast now it is stable :D
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] neildalal:
Please can you make one for Sony Xperia ZR (dogo) as well?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Kanzhelier:
This kernel included CWM/TWRP ? Can i used on 5.0.2?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] St.Jimmy90:
Use B15 for 5.0.2. If you want recovery you need to flash twrp, you'll find the link in OP

Thanks for your wonderful effort Tommy, kernel is running absolutely stable on my xz, has all the important and unique features one can ask for :good:.

One small feature request if you are willing to accommodate and it will be a great help for me and i'm sure for most others too. On thermal control, is there a way to include a parameter to enable shutting down of cores to keep the temp within an acceptable envelop? like the one found in nikhil's kernel?

Also any chance in implementing GPU uv? :D

The kernel is already nearing perfection, above features will only make it better. Hopefully you might consider the requests and the time permits you.

Thank you.

//nkirk
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
I would love these two features too, especially the thermal core shutdown parameters.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Definitly possible, but i'll need to finish work on the Z5C first.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] mirsaeed.namdar:
First thank you for your great work very very much.

I am not expert like you and many others here,but I know some basic things and I am trying to learn whenever I can,so I have a question. First let me introduce my current conditions then I'll ask my question.

It's almost six months that I am using multirom on existenz 3.5.5 android stock based 4.4.4 on my sony Xperia z c6603 with kitkat hodor kernel made by olivier.

Question: can I flash this zombie kernel on existenz y 2.0.0 which is stock based rom. 454 android? I mean I want to have multirom mod on existenz y rom with twrp recovery.

If yes,would you please tell me what are the steps to do that?

Thank you again.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
Yes it's possible. Just make sure to use B15 because latest version is for.222 firmware.

Just follow the installation steps in OP and for use of Multirom use the steps in Multirom thread.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] mirsaeed.namdar:
What do you mean by B15? It is a build number?

Would u please just clearly tell me which version of zombie kernel is suitable for which android build number?

Because my english isn't good so I am a bit confused now.

Thank you again in advance.

I got what you mean,ok for 454 i should use b15 and for 222 i should b18.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] St.Jimmy90:
Yep, B is the bildnumber, B15 works on 5.02 while B16 and above is for 5.1.1 only.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] mirsaeed.namdar:
btw,to flash the kernel I should first extract boot.img from zip file then fastboot flash it via flashtool then from recovery flash the zip file and over, is it the correct procedure?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
If u currently don't have any recovery, flash the boot.img via fastboot and boot to recovery to flash the zip package.

If u do have recovery (u do if u use Multirom already) Just flash the package via ur current recovery.

If u want to use Multirom again, flash the Multirom recovery from OP also.(not sure if it's included already but if not, flash it)

BTW there are installation instructions in OP already.

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
You could help yourself by simply reading the OP.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Smus_man:
It is like the core of the support uv, FauxSound. Definitely not enough uv GPU. Configured upper limit processor speed of 810 MHz with a temperature above 55 and 384 MHz, at a temperature higher than 65, set uv, shown here a couple of pages back, build.prop with lines from the Japanese.

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] beespoison:
The latest kernel is very awesome, running smooth and faster. But i have a problem about "fast dormancy wake up server", my battery draining so fast because of it. Is it related with the kernel ?

I've found this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2382680

Should i try it ? or should i downgrade the kernel version, according http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63298358&postcount=895 you said "If you want more smoothness go for it, if you look for better battery-life then better leave it. "
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Nope. Not Kernel related at all.

Downgrading won't help either.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] beespoison:
Oh ok thank you. I'll try to disabling it and hope it will help. Thanks for the great kernel :good:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
I don't have this problem. Maybe u can find the fastdormancy.apk (or what it was called) in /system and delete it. (so I did)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Vitor_Boss:
Tommy, this kernel is awesome. Could you build a version with NEON features enabled? On 5.02 I was using lightning kernel for stock[5.0.2] 10.6.A.0.454 and it make a lot a difference on 3D benchmark on AnTuTu, the whole scene was at 30FPS, now is just 9~15FPS.

Could you please consider do that?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
New Build is up!

Changelog:

* Increased CFQ-I/O Scheduler throughput and set CFQ as default

* Increased readahead to 256 kb

* Optimized touchboost (2 CPUs get boosted to 1,242 Ghz for 300ms) to improve performance and reduce battery drain

Regarding the requested features,

i am not sure if i'll implement CPU Core capping.

I'll eventually code something that'll disable CPU3 shortly before shutdown.

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
You can control gamma with Fauxclock.

KCAL is not supported (too old platform) and i will not write a custom kcal driver for our phone.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Strange, the only change was to the cfq scheduler.

Anyway, you can use b-17 then, just copy the updated init.qcom-post_boot.sh script and you're almost on b-19.

Hi Tommy, Thanks for the update. Core shutdown really helps when you live in Asian countries where the environment temp is high and your phone idle temps are already in low 50s during day time. Therefore please consider implementing the feature, also hope you have not forgotten gpu uv. Thanks

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Jeik:
Hey guys.

I am a bit confused.

We have to sacrifice Bravia Engine and Noise reduction(unlock the bootloader)in order to install a kernel for a stock rom?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] edi194:
You can restore DRM keys and everything will work with custom kernel.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Some report that Bravia still works (don't know, personally not using it), and the Z's cam was never great, so noice reduction is not that much of a sacrafice.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Restoring will not work while on unlocked bootloader, it will brick your device.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
I'll consider it, however don't expect GPU voltage control.

I do not recommend (and have never recommended) messing with voltages.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] edi194:
I've many times restored DRM keys with this kernel and stock 5.1 and everything worked well.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Alright, but did they actually got restored properly (were you able to see the changes)?

I haven't restored mine in 2 years so things could've changed.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] edi194:
Bravia, X-Reality, Sound effects worked well. Changes on photos and sounds are visible and hearable ;)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Yep, but these even work on mine without DRM-keys restored. The only way to judge this is by looking at photos and seeing if noise reduction still works or not.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] edi194:
I'll look into it on next week. On my phone bravia etc without restoring keys won't work.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Thanks, it may be that i'm wrong, i haven't ever cared about most proprietary Sony stuff.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
New Build is up! Please update to b-20 as soon as possible!

Changelog:

* Fixed bugs in the thermal driver

* Hopefully fixed Texfat by reverting to BFQ and removing CFQ-patches

Somehow an App containing a daemon (CPUBurn) was able to bypass thermal throttling during my testing.

Sidenote:

I have further investigated CPU-Core capping in the thermal driver and found no reliable way to implement it,

plus the effect was little to none.

Thus, i recommend permanently shutting down 1-2 CPUs via apq_hotplug if any heat issues persist.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] aidfarh:
Texfat works fine with b20. Thanks.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:

Yes we can adjust it to our needs, tom figured the hexadecimal blabla into colour values which we can adjust using fauxclock.

Could u update the kernel for latest multirom? If I flash multirom now, everything is fine except for USB connection to PC.

(E.g. when connected, PC doesn't see my phone at all. Fastboot and flashmode works)

Others in multirom thread have reported no issues using aosp based kernels, that's why I'm beginning to think Zombie might need to be updated. (Maybe latest trampoline or something?)
