Hi,

Is there anyway to install this kernel on stock rom with locked bootloader?

I cannot unlock bootloader becouse i have unlock allowed no.

I have really big problems with heating so i think this kernel will help me alot.

Thanks,

Best regards
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Furrydaus:
No an unlocked bootloader is a must for kernels.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] jai554:
Hello,

I'm just trying to ask, is there any way to control the power management IC inside our phone?

I found that my power management IC is damaged.

Thanks for your help!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
I think there's a workaround for unlocking locked bootloaders who can't be unlocked.

Not sure though, u should search the forum's
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Furrydaus:
You can install lbl roms but kernels can't because of how the 2013 xperia phones work. 2012 phones should be able to. Actually, lbl users here can have cm12.1 without unlocking. I can do it but im busy and I honestly need to learn and use the device more
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Furrydaus:
You had might as well replace the damaged IC. Bukan yang mahal sangat :P

(Not like its that expensive)

Anyways,

[MENTION=5243932]Tommy-Geenexus[/MENTION] Are you sticking to the Stock Side of things or are you willing to go about adding features into the kernels of the other 5.1 Roms?

Btw you can also look to using this method of flashing the kernel as it doesn't touch the ramdisk and by right, shouldnt brick any rom it runs on. (http://xdaforums.com/xperia-sp/development/update-kernel-anykernel-huashan-t3145078) Credits goes to the main OP though. Just thought that doing this will allow you to make the kernel more widely used amongst the Z Community since Zombie Kernel is a very prominent kernel here. You show a lot of potential and doing as such will be also an entirely new experience for you :)

Also please reduce the timing to enter recovery through the touchscreen on the kernel boot screen. Its too long in my opinion. 2 seconds should suffice
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Thanks.

You request will be done in the next version.

I am not sure, i prefer a. img, but if you would do an anykernel zip i wouldn't mind :).

Strange thing that happend to me yesterday, after some browsing i closed my wifi connection and terminated all progs etc. Then i checked the cpu freqs and core 3 and 4 were at 1026.I did check again after some while and they were still at 1026.I dont think anything was running since i checked again.After restart the cores got back to 384.Il check again next days if this a issue that happens often or not.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
Didn't see this happen anytime.

Do you have touch boost enabled? Or maybe it was throttling and syncing in background.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Furrydaus:
Its happening to me too FYI. Including random hangs that force me to restart at random moments.

Not sure of the culprit though. Been trying to find a logcat that can explain this but nothing appears to help after the phones is rebooted
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
Hmm my core's do jump to 1026 for a few seconds after opening CPU tab and when scrolling a bit, but using ondemand governor I think it's quite normal since it uses 1026 as sync_freq parameter.

What governor are you guys using?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] xdagfg:
i didnt mess with any touch boost(i left the settings as they came) , only the voltages i changed.

I used the ondemand governor now i changed it to interactive and will take a look next days.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
Touch boost is enabled by default if I'm not mistaken.

You can disable it by setting sync and boost interval both to 0ms.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] xdagfg:
was checking to see and now 3 of my cores where on 1026. Through kernel adiutor i try to change the values u said to 0 but didnt saw any difference .Maybe they wont change through it.Restarting the phone got me back to all 4 kernels on 384 when doing nothing.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Furrydaus:
Ondemand. I didn't change anything since I just recently flashed back Stock Sony LP
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Furrydaus:
Found a huge flaw that ive started noticing, since B10, the media playback after some time detiriates and starts to lag until the phone just hangs for a solid 1 minute before rebooting. Catlogs dont say anything but it must be a problem in the couple of kernel updates.

Its very difficult to replicate. It just comes and goes. Cant get a kmsg in time
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
I'll push a new build.

I forgot that i am running an updated conservative policy, maybe it's a regression in the older driver.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Furrydaus:
Ahh I see. Patiently waiting here then :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
Not sure if this is rom or kernel related, but when I turn the screen off and the light goes off, there's still the lockscreen visible for one second or less..

Best visible in full sunlight.

Anyone can confirm this?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] CosmicDan:
Random question, sorry for OT but not really worth a new thread....

Has anybody considered/tried comparing the LCD panel driver from 4.2 kernel with latest? Is there any significant differences? I'm still bugging over the post-jellybean battery life, but somehow I doubt its as simple as a change in the panel code.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Diatomix98:
You are not alone, I can confirm that. Since it doesn't really bug me so I didn't care much. :p
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Does not happen to me on Stock 5.02.

What rom are you on?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
The Panel Code did not change at all :p
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
Yeah i dont care much either..

Just noticed today :p

Existenz, so I know I'm not allowed to report bugs but don't consider this as one :p

Having this with and without the framework-res.apk backlight level mod.

[MENTION=4704242]Diatomix98[/MENTION], are you using existenz also?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Diatomix98:
Unfortunately Yes, using v2. Could be the rom's issue as Tommy doesn't have this problem on stock.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] beespoison:
I was used zombie6 and now i flashed zombie11 but i can't access into recovery on zombie11 ? And i have problem with battery life (i think it's not related to the kernel), AndroidOS is taking around 50-60% (mobile radio active taking so much battery power) , anyone having same problem ?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] CosmicDan:
Reflash stock FTF and try again. Nobody is clear on the issue but I had it once and a reflash solved it.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Tap the screen to get into recovery.

Is your device still waterproof after exchanging battery?

My battery slowly dies and i'm yet to decide if i do it myself or let it get replaced.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] CosmicDan:
I also replaced battery and did heatsink mod ;) I'm honestly not sure if its waterproof. I did use a new adhesive stencil that was nice and sticky and seemed quality enough, cleaned all tape off both rear plate and housing and it all lined up perfectly and resealed without any issues (I've done it many times) but the reality is it's too scary to test it!

Have you used that Battery Test APK here somewhere to see if your battery is actually bad? I got all passes but I replaced it anyway with a genuine PolarCell from Germany (they're a known brand for quality batteries) but my battery life is not noticeably better.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
I need the waterproofing actually, i can't live without it. F.e i clean it everyday after it got full of abrasive (at work).

My battery is 2 years old, i can see the percents dropping every minute or so, so i'm in need of a replacement.

But on the other hand i don't know if its worth the investment, maybe i should get a new device, i wonder how much it will be. I like my Z and really want to keep it though.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] CosmicDan:
I'm considering a new device too. My last one was a Chinese MT6589 phablet, I miss the supreme battery life and big screen for fast typing (but I don't miss being stuck on 4.2 lol). The new Xperia M5 seems nice, I am considering getting that sometime if I can. Or the C5 Ultra; both are MTK which - while subpar performance, are extremely good battery life.

Anyway, that's a tough call. Really though even if you replace battery or pay someone else to do it, neither will guarantee it staying water proof, since its no longer the original sealed unit. Mine looks perfect and doesn't extrude at all, but I don't think I'm willing to ever test it - not until I get a new device anyway.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
I was very excited about the M5, but then i read through the Helio X10 specs, and i can't handle the slow GPU.

Also, the Z series gets guaranteed updates, and i feel like this won't be the case on the M5.

I will wait till Z5, my Z is in a good condition (besides its outer look). Currently there is no phone which really raised my interest.

Even demanding 3D games run still fine, battery life is the only nagging issue i have right now.

Probably i won't change my battery, it's simply not worth it (at least not for now).
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
New build is up!

Changelog:

* Updated conservative kgsl policy (sysfs path has changed: all thresholds are in a single file now, paired like this: xy xy xy xy xy (x = up_threshold, y = down_threshold, each block represents a pwrlevel, starting with pwrlevel 0))

* Set Zombie-Kernel name in defconfig (courtesy of [MENTION=5934815]Furrydaus[/MENTION])

* Disabled wasteful debugging (= better battery life + less heat)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Furrydaus:
Nicely done although ive updated to the z1 lololol. Ill see if I can bring in more things for you guys when I have the time :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] agha_jo0n:
Look at first post carefully, this kernel doesnt have any recovery now.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
New build is up!

Changelog:

* Added MultiRom TWRP Recovery

* MultiRom support (thanks [MENTION=4329876]Olivier[/MENTION] for the Pull-request)

* Tuned CPU-Boost to save more Energy

Useful Hint:

If you face heat issues disable CPU-Boost, it adds a lot of overhead, you'll see that the phone will run much cooler, altough a bit less smooth.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] comax70:
tom I had problems with TWRP after restoring backup does not read the internal sd
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Try updating TWRP (download Oli's nightlies) and see if it solves the issue.

If not, i can't do anything about that.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] farahzadfarahzad:
I used fastboot to flash it works fine well i think it's better to focus on performance rather than battery life as our z almost three years old and to solve battery life i got a power bank case from ebay for 20 bucks which is quite cool with 4200 mAh , as now days applications need more power so our z will be a bit lagy and thanks tommy for your best work very happy with it i got nexus 5 already but i can't give up our beloved z no way
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] comax70:

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] farahzadfarahzad:
Just wondering what kernel app should i use , i use faux app is that compatible?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Fauxclock, Kernel Adiutor,...

Personally i don't use tweaker Apps, thats why the Kernel ships with the optimal settings by default.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] farahzadfarahzad:
Just using it to adjust colours,

well as I can see the new Android 5 colours just amazing as no need any adjustments I think best to delete the app and reflash the kernel again what do you recomm Tommy to get the default back on track again?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Uninstall the App and reboot, simple as that.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] codfx:
I heard the word "Colours"! :D

I use FuaxClock to adjust colors/gamma values although this awesome kernel has pre-tuned settings. Anyway, I love to share my color config here. Zombie-b2 works flawlessly btw. :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] rezash2:
Is there a way to overclock?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] gcgspain:
Just in case anyone wonders how to flash without recovery, heres is the guide I borrowed from Doomlord's thread to refresh my mind:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] theduke7:
i gather because it has recovery that it doesn't work for Locked bootloaders? (sorry if it's a noob-ish question but i didn't see a [UB] mark on the title or OP)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] shoey63:
No.

Anyway, overclock = more heat = CPU throttling = back to where you started. Turn off CPU throttling and you can damage your battery or hard brick your device, that's why dev won't add it. Stop hassling him. (third time you've asked now)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] aidfarh:
I got a kernel panic. Last_kmsg is attached.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] dedito:
excuse me sir, but ... what is heatsink mod ?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] CosmicDan:
Fair enough. I personally don't play games (unless you count Angry Birds 2 lol) so I might get it, not sure. MediaTek GPU's always had good HW decoding/encoding at least, as evident by the X10's 4k recording. I will probably wait for Z5 too and see how it is, if they make a new Ultra I'll definitely get it. You raise a good point about updates, not being a flagship device it will likely not go beyond one year.

Self explanatory? A modification of a heatsink. If you're wanting a link, I've not written the guide yet.

I will avoid mentioning it from now on until I actually post the guide, sorry for OT guys [emoji14]
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
I don't know, I never put it in water and there seems to be no way to test its waterproofing other than putting it into water :p

I had luck, they fixed it free within guarantee period but if mine was broken right now I would get one OEM battery for about €20-30(?) and replace it myself as I'm waiting for Z5 to arrive and settle so I'll need the phone for another 6 months still at least. (When Z5 arrives its way to expensive)

I wouldn't mind spending €20-30 for a perfect battery life, its almost same price as OEM Sony charger + cable lol xD

I don't think replacing the battery is that hard, just make sure to take ur time and prepare all tools and workplace.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
I just discovered the new Moto X.

Seems very promising, especially for the low pricetag.

This may be a nice upgrade, it has everything i need (and no fingerprint scanner - no possibly stolen fingerprint data).

May be worth a look for you too, considering it's like a Nexus (= quick updates and easily unlockable).

Bug: exfat sdcard doesn't work. Only on b12. On previous versions it works!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] CosmicDan:
It's an attractive package, but I'm not really a fan of the that design. It's too round and Samsung-y, they look like toddler's toys [emoji14] I like Sony's square and business-like appearance. But who knows what will happen, I'll still be on the Z until 2016 arrives I think. Thanks for the tip.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
I did not touch exfat (texfat) in any way.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] anmatheextreme:
Sd card doesn't initialize after each reboot. You have to take it out of the device and put it back in and only then does it initialize and you can access it. Only happens on b12 for me as well. I am on existenz Y though so feel free to ignore this bug report. Other than that, kernel is very smooth, cpu heats up to a minimum and battery life is better than both b10 and b11. Many thanks to the developer for all his work on this kernel.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] kael2404:
Maybe it's not a problem with exfat but general with sdcard. To be sure I downgraded to b11 from b12 two times and sdcard works. When I take out sdcard phone says sdcard is removed, but even after reinserting phone doesn't show sdcard in all apps and in settings
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Diatomix98:
Same problem here, not sure if it's the ROM's v2 problem which is why I didn't bother to report here.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] deanz93:
same goes here..i used existenz v2 on b11..doesnt have this problem..it only occur after i flashed b12..
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Well, then i know the problem.

Must find out which debug option is required for texfat.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] BaDKaRmA:
A Request

Please can you make the kcal module for stock lock bootloader? As you made for Z ultra, You own a XZ also...Dev Venkat seems busy and he doesnt own the device.. Glad if you make it no doubt your kernel makes my display look like amoled so I badly need it..Work Appreciated! Thanx :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] FakeSmile:
Faux' Gamma Control / Pre-tuned Gamma for the Sharp Panel This mean that i don't have to use faux gamma control to use the colors?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
Yes it's pre-tuned, but to control it yourself you need to purchase fauxclock.

I purchased it myself to see if gamma control worked, since I have a jdc panel.

Came out it works, but I don't need to adjust it as I think the pre-tuned colours are brilliant.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
New build is up!

Changelog:

* Fixed texfat module (hopefully)

* Custom touch-boost driver added

PS: I will be on vacation for the next week. Do not expect any breaking news meanwhile :p
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Maybe. I'll see.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] anmatheextreme:
FWIW I still have the SD card issue. If I boot up the device and go to Settings\Storage\Mount SD card, it still doesn't work. Only when I take the sd out of the device and put it back in does it initialize and becomes usable. A reboot resets it and the procedure needs to be done again. I loaded another kernel and can confirm that it doesn't happen. Thank you for your work, v13 works very well except the Sd issue.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] kael2404:

Doesn't the first post say not to report bugs on custom ROM's? If it works fine on stock but not custom ROM, then its clearly the fault of the ROM.

Enjoy ur holiday [MENTION=5243932]Tommy-Geenexus[/MENTION] :thumbup::cool:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] anmatheextreme:
I have the same issue on stock (I flashed the stock again but didn't wipe data). I also flashed another kernel and both stock and existenz roms don't have the same problem. Even older versions of Zombie don't have this problem. Maybe it is just me though so I will see if I can solve the issue with reformating the sd.

Have a nice holiday Tommy!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] FakeSmile:
Is there zombie kerne for KK ?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] comax70:
On purex l work fine

Inviato dal mio C6603 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] CosmicDan:
So of Pure X is fine but existenz is not, logic dictates it's a problem with existenz I would think.

Switching ROM's without wiping data is a silly thing to do when reporting bugs.

Is anybody on an actual 100% clean stock ROM (I.e. flashed FTF) and latest Zombie, with *no* custom ROM flashed at all since FTF, and still has sdcard mount issue?

And we are talking FAT32, right? Not exFat? And no ext# extra partitions, just a standard MBR with one single partition?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
I don't know what people complaining about either.

On stock ftf kernel works fine, so I decided to try existenz and all is still fine, sdcard, performance, etc etc.

So they are likely to talk about exfat (as I use fat32 and don't have any problems and therefore don't know about exfat in this kernel) or just another user-error bug lol
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] kael2404:
Come on. If you don't use something that kernel provide don't comment it! Exfat was broken like Tommy said and now it is repaired. User-error bug? Just read changelog...
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
Just saying everything works fine for me, even on a modified rom like existenz.

And all right I'll take that one back :thumbup:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] CosmicDan:
Alright, so its a bug with exfat. Well he's away on holidays so either downgrade or be patient I guess.

Just asking you guys are using exFAT because you need to, right? For 64GB microSD or something? You know there's no significant performance difference?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] kingvortex:
There's also the 4GB filesize limit of FAT32 that's an inconvenience to some. All my SD cards are exfat because of this.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] kael2404:
Like post above. Because of 4 gb filesize limit. But on b13 exfat works good ;)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] FakeSmile:
Is this kernel available for stock Kk roms? Cause i hate how slow is lollipop and i cant use App settings module in xposed on lollipop to make apps resident.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] CosmicDan:
There is a Zombie for stock KitKat but it's obsolete (no longer being developed). Look around, you'll find it.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] anmatheextreme:
I finally found some time to do a complete wipe and start over with b13. I flashed stock ftf with wiping all data this time, then flashed existent v2 again and then b13 wiping data and cache one more time. No more Sd issues for me. It should have been something left over from b12 that caused the fix to not work. Sorry for the false report, it was my fault. It is just that I have never had to wipe data when upgrading kernels, but you learn something new every day.
