True, but since I personally don't play any game at all and I'm already a bit fallen in luv with the green colour available on the Z5 I think I'm gonna stick with Z5 lol

Edit: oh and just read Z5c is not getting the 3 gigs of ram. I know 2 gigs should be enough, but also in the future? With apps growing bigger and heavier, and systems needing more ram memory.

BTW, about GPU's ; the force 2D gpu rendering in developer settings, do you use it?

I use it since it appeared but doing some research gives me all kind of useless information about it.

I tested with and without this option enabled multiple times but can't find/feel a real difference.. What do you think? Is it useful or is it a waste of battery juice?

Yeah me too, that is exactly the color i am loving.

About 2D rendering, it's draining some more juice so i keep it off.

Tnx mr tommy i will in the futur you make a kernel for BL allower no because i heat this situation
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] CosmicDan:
Well, its not difficult to change resolution in any Android device (via wm command, If I remember correctly), if that's your concern ;) But its max 720p? Eww, definitely not getting the Compact then ha-ha.

You can't flash kernels on a locked bootloader, this is the exact reason for unlocking bootloader.... What you hope for is impossible.

I would recommend some underclock for this kernel, down to 192MHz is good I think, it will give some extra battery although not much. No need to overclock. However, it's recommendation.

Theoretically the Z5 Premium should offer superior battery life over the Z5, because it dynamically scales the resolution (although it has a slightly larger screen and backlight drains bit more juice / just found that out).

So i am eager to see some reviews, let's see if the Z5P can keep up with the Z5C.

I am really undecided now, i just know one thing: My Z's battery has almost reached it's eol.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
What did u just found out? That it dynamically scales the res? Or something else about it? If so, can u share the source?

BTW I'm still a bit undecided also, I prefer the green colour but I'll definitely wait for some reviews.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] CosmicDan:
I read this. But more battery life than the regular Z5, why? It runs at 1080p normally and switches to 4k when 4k content is detected (I'm guessing it would only work in the stock apps, I doubt its possible to do this in framework). That's what I gathered anyway. Unless Z5 premium has larger battery, I don't see how this would result in better battery life over the regular Z5.

The compact would likely be better at battery efficiency, but then its a question if you can tolerate downgrading to a 720p display. I won't settle for that, so personally I'm aiming for the regular Z5.

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
It has a much bigger battery (2900 vs 3430 mAh). So unless you're watching photos / movies the battery life will be noticably better, as the rest is rendered in 1080p like Z5.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] CosmicDan:
Fair enough. Might not be noticeably better though or possibly even break even, given the larger screen size. Guess we will see, I'm hoping a single reviewer out there will do a good battery test on the whole trinity (as comparing one review result to a different reviewer might not be accurate for obvious reasons).

Thanks for your amazing work, could you add Intellidemand governor and a better temperature limiter like lightning kernel for stock. Right now my phone just shutdown listen music, I think some cores are never getting off-line.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] CosmicDan:
Maybe Tommy has changed opinion (doubt it, but wait for him to confirm anyway), but he has no interest in addin extra governors, it just bloats the kernel and introduces additional potential for bugs - not the goal of this kernel.

As for thermal, I'm not sure why its not tunable but as far as I know they should be stock throttle values already. If your device overheats on stock kernel, then you are better off to just lower your max clock speeds because the device is clearly damaged.

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
Thermal tuning paths are in /sys/kernel/msm_thermal/ but they are tuned already.

I think he has failure in the device.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
If your phone shuts down while listening to music, there is something terribly wrong.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
My opinion will never change related to that topic.

As for thermal, the sysfs paths are in the 2nd post, it is tunable, only the sysfs path has changed.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] MOO82SE:
Hello Tommy, first of all I just wanted to say thank you very much for your awesome kernel and hard work it's really appreciated. I've tried nearly all the custom roms they are cool but every single one of them when I used dt2w the screen would eventually freeze on my Z and I've had to reboot on 5.1.1

Running stock 5.1.1 with your zombie kernel has been flawless. My mate has a Z1 and I'd like to mod his phone for him like I have mine. I don't suppose there is any chance please that you can port your kernel to the Z1 for 5.1.1

Best kernel out there hands down man ;)

To answer the other guys question yes you can install dual recovery as I've done it. I thought the recovery was broken as I didn't know you had to tap the screen when the orange dot came up. All working fine
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] speedy56:
I was wonderinf if you could enable higher freqs. The thing is, I have a Tasker profile which turns my Yuga into a beast when charger is connected (higher gpu and cpu freq than usual battery saving settings) and I'd like to set that "beast" freq to a bit more than 1,5ghz

Thank you for this amazing kernel
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Diatomix98:
For me, I think that the stock maximum cpu frequency has got enough power whereas the stock maximum gpu frequency of this first gen Adreno 320 has some struggles with our full hd screen sometimes. I adjusted our screen to 720p and everything just became twice faster than on 1080p but I reversed back in a short while as 1080p indeed looks far better than 720p with some performance sacrifice. Would greatly appreciate if Tommy could release a "clean" version and an "extreme" version for this kernel. :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
Can u share with us, how exactly did u changed it to 720p?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
I have a Kernel for my Z Ultra, which is almost identical.

He could ask any developer to adopt my patches, stuff like backlight-dimmer-hack and sweep2sleep are on my git repo.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Nope, no higher freqs, sorry. You will not notice any UI difference either way.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Diatomix98:
1. Change to a smaller dpi, 320 if I'm not mistaken.

2. Open terminal emulator.

3. Type su.

4. Type wm size 720x1280.

5. Reboot. :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] CosmicDan:
Overclocking is pointless really, ESPECIALLY while charging. Thermal management will kick in and you'll quickly loose any performance boost. Unless of course you increase the limits of thermal throttling... But that's how you damage your phone. Even though I never changed thermal settings, there is visible signs of heat fatigue on the baseband and SoC chips on my logic board (warping/melted look).

On the topic of new devices... I'm actually considering the BlackBerry Priv over the Xperia Z5 now. Blasphemy! [emoji14]

Impossible. No CPU on the planet idles at 14 degrees, or do live in an Igloo in the North Pole? Whatever this "multicore processing" option is sounds like a scam, Android already natively processes everything on multiple cores, by design (each dalvik thread can run on any process).

I suspect you've just become a victim of malware which is trying to toast your phone.

Try restarting the launcher, or performing a "warm reboot" is best because apps like E.g. keyboard and other permanent services can also have issues (not sure what app can help you here, search Play Store). Common layout issue, many apps are not coded to reload resources on screen density changes - restarting whole activity and/or killing SystemUI (and other apps) is required - warm reboot is easiest solution.

There *may* be a way to also do this via wm command, but I'm not sure. I remember reading that you should only adjust window manager parameters while the display is "offline", whatever that means.

Anyway, I think this guy says he only uses it for gaming - so the problem you are having is not relevant to him. Also, there are free resolution changer root apps on play store that can handle all this for you, without needing manual commands in root shell.

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] anmatheextreme:
Today I was driving with Gmaps trying to find my way on some complex streets and the phone shutdown on me at the worst moment. It must have gone over the temp threshold. I am now looking for ways to make a script at bootup which will configure the thermal shutdown temp to 80. I know this will probably slowly kill my cpu but I just can't afford having a shutdown in the middle of a busy street.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
I'm sorry, but hardware protection is important, i don't want others to blow up their phones.

What you could do is limit max_online_cpus to 2, this will limit heating, the temp will never exceed 60°C.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] anmatheextreme:
Yeah I totally understand that and I don't see this as an issue with the kernel. Everyone has a certain way they use their phones and mine happens to trigger the threshold more often. I will try the core limiting on my next trip and monitor temps, I am sure it won't have a huge performance impact on Google maps but if I can avoid a shutdown, it is definitely worth it.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] CosmicDan:
Maybe for your future work you could make throttling configurable but have a hard-max limit of the default? So users can lower the throttle threshold, if their device has issues; but any value set above stock will be capped.

I can't imagine that being unnecessary overhead, the temps are not polled often as far as I know and it'd just mean an extra greater-than condition, possibly the check could be triggered when the value is written to sysfs rather than read by the kernel (if that's possible?)

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
The throttling temps are already configurable (sysfs-paths are in the 2nd post), but an upper limit is possible, i'll think about that.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Shutdown happens at 75°C.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] anmatheextreme:
I am now playing a bit with thermal parameters but have a quick question that can't find if it has already been answered. In the msm_thermal folder there are 2 files for allowed low and high temps. For example, on low temps, there is one file named allowed_low_temp and one allowed_low_rel_temp. What is the difference between these?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
low_temp = temp where throttling starts

low_rel_temp = temp where throttling is released

Thanks Tommy that makes sense now.

So I've merged Tommy's pull request for my modified UKM script (Thanks Tommy). You can find the latest zip in the attachment.

For those who's not familiar with it, UKM is a set of scripts that you use with the Synapse app (from Play Store) to change kernel settings. The scripts make it so that only the tunables available for the kernel being used are shown. To use it, flash the UKM zip in recovery, and then you use the Synapse app to change the settings.

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] CosmicDan:
Varies per device, every chip is different. It doesn't save much power, it's not worth it IMO. Screen is largest offender. Tune governor settings instead for more stable CPU conservation. You can Google for ondemand parameter tuning yourself, plenty of sources already out there. Experiment and find what you like. I personally have my ondemand set to be *more* aggressive and ramp up quicker (and stay higher for longer) and I've not noticed any worse battery life; that is further evidence that CPU is not the main power hungry part.

There are no "stock undervolt values", that's an oxymoron. If you mean to ask what the stock *regular* voltage are, just read them yourself via sysfs...
