Tested. Looks good, better than 6.0 normal version. Build 20160115, Conservative governor with multicore power saving, max 1728mhz, min 284mhz. IntelliPlug hotplug, msm_limiter enabled, swap 40 and 260MB ZRAM. Sometimes when in example scrolling pages on tapatalk, it gets freeze on few seconds. I think 5.0 is still better

I know the thread says 5.1/6.0 for the Helium 5.0 build but for test build it works with 6.0 too? Sorry if I didnt read it well
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
The test build zip is called helium_v6.0_test_L.zip so it's only for L.

Hello its stuck at unpacking kernel im on stryflex rom

---------- Post added at 06:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 PM ----------

im using TWRP 2.8.7.0
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
Try the test build.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Alvichone:
[MENTION=2854006]tommons[/MENTION], trying helium_v6_test_L.zip+team razor 22.02.16 seems very stable and smooth in general. The only annoying thing is browsing with Cm Browser app:30-35 seconds to appear the home window, toast message of wait or close app, when finally it works I have some freezes.

But with stock browser all seems OK.

I had similar behavior of Cm browser with some Adrian's kernel version too.

But with helium v.5.0 all go rigth.

Still the same as v6. I get good performance on everything except the fps drop on certain apps such as line app.

Please do the following steps:

I can confirm that candy5 v4.1 works perfectly with helium v5. The rom is not 'too old' and it's super stable too.:rolleyes:

Btw helium v6 seems to cause lags (when playing games, watching videos with YouTube app, etc, pretty anoying), while helium v5 does not.

yeah I noticed it too after sometime, lags and freezes everywhere with helium v6, but with helium v5 it was back to smoothness again

DId you make a factory reset after installing the new kernel ?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Lubakabra:
Hey [MENTION=220705]anybody[/MENTION] is there any feature like "Slow charge"??? If yes, can it be include in future kernel build.

My battery isn't in the best condition and i am looking for some app to limit the mA(e.g.150mA)
[Xperia SP Android Development] Alvichone:
You have a low charge plugging the device via usb 2.0 (500 mA) to a Pc/lap top.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Lubakabra:
Yeah....i kno, but i was thinking about some SW stuff..but thank u anyway :D :thumbup:

For example in Battery doctor (i know it is trash :) :) but...) in the final stage of charging (when the battery is >90℅ charged) it starts to charge slower (i think it is becouse of reduction of mA).

Thnx
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
It may be possible to add that thing. I don't know whether it would be healthy or even more harmful for your battery but... It'll be your choice (if this feature exists).
[Xperia SP Android Development] DimitrisGtr:
do i have to edit/delete something before downgrading from 6 to 5? because with 6 i have some frame drops (cm 12.1 nightly)

[Xperia SP Android Development] jancsessz:
No,
[Xperia SP Android Development] Lubakabra:
So....about the "Slow charge"

Quote:There are two stages of battery charging. The first stage, the fast charge, is when the voltage drastically rises. It shows full but in actuality, is only about 70%. The second stage, the trickle charge, takes much longer. It’s*when the voltage peaks, and the remaining battery is slowly charged from 70% to 100%.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Robot Ross:
Can I get an IMG for this, possibly including Adrian's new TWRP 3.0 build?

I absolutely am done trying to flash it through twrp. I only have 1 twrp that will boot at the moment on my SP since no one's building kernel IMGs anymore, and that twrp version can't write to the kernel partition, nor can it seem to flash any new recovery. I've spent all day trying!

If not, can I get a comprehensive walkthrough on how to get this on, get a recovery on, so I can get my phone working again?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
Your config.gz file appears to be a text file instead of a gzip archive... So it's empty and useless for me. Can you upload it again?

What should be fixed in this test build ?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
The performance should be similar to v5, which is said to be smooth, and not laggy as v6.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Alvichone:
I confirm: it's smooth as v.5.0. Even better cause v.5 overcooking CPU gives me hard reboot, but v.6_test_2 for 24h +- works hard&fine.

Does this kernel contain recovery or not?

Thanks Nandan
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
It provides TWRP.

Some news: the M build is working perfectly on L too so there will be only one universal release :)

I know why WiFi is broken on M and I'll fix it ASAP!

Let me give you another suggestion: always read the 2nd post before installing a new release. It will inform you about bugs/regressions/warnings/news.
[Xperia SP Android Development] yash8796:
Can I use this kernel on stryflex V3.6..? And will it work properly..??
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
No, that ROM is too outdated and you'll probably face issues with WiFi.
[Xperia SP Android Development] parkavenu:
I have unofficial CM12.1 Rom. when I flashed the kernel and hit reboot system the device have acted like DEAD. No response at all, not charging, not rebooting. What can I do?

Note: I flashed Helium v2.1
[Xperia SP Android Development] moozer:
Hard reset using the button at the back of the device. Press and hold until 3 vibrations. The phone will be completely off. Press and hold power button until vibrates, then keep pressing volume down to get into recovery. Try reflashing Helium then power off through TWRP. Restart phone as normal.

Fingers crossed
[Xperia SP Android Development] parkavenu:
I've already tried it. NO response, no vibration, nothing happen.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
Reset the phone again and flash stock kernel with fastboot.
[Xperia SP Android Development] moozer:
Just about to suggest that! Follow Tomoms advice. This has happened to me when I first started with custom ROMS. It's horrific.

I managed to recover my SP from this by using Flashtool.

Plug your USB cable into a computer and while holding down Volume + or Volume -, plug it into your SP - make sure the LED turns either green or blue. This way you will know for sure if we can recover your SP.

We're all here to help you. Hang in there
[Xperia SP Android Development] moozer:
Any luck, parkavenu?
[Xperia SP Android Development] moozer:
Hi Tomoms.

How are things going with the M fixes?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
M fixes are really really easy to implement, but I'm quite busy these days. If I manage, I'll build tomorrow, otherwise, next Monday.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gabrieljbl:
Hi Tom. I'll be trying this kernel as soon as a new build of carbon goes out :)

Seems to be you are kind of a switching development towards this kernel.

Any ways, best of lucks :)

Keep it up :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] parkavenu:
Yeh, it seems the device is coming back to life :) . When I press the power button it vibrates once. There's no action after that, but at least there's a hope. I've downloaded EMMA flashtool from SONY then connected the phone, it recognized it and begin to download the official 4.3 rom, but in the middle something went wrong and stopped.

Thanks for your concern. :o
[Xperia SP Android Development] moozer:
That's good news. Emma will only work if your bootloader is locked again. Use Flashtool and you can simply flash the Boot.img from the ROM zip to wipe the Helium kernel and replace stock.

Let us know if you need any more help. This is positive though, so don't panic!

Edit: Link for Flashtool

I couldn't find the Q&A section. So, sorry in advance if this is in the wrong thread.

Good news! I'll release other test builds next week, to add all the features that should have worked nicely in v6. Thank you for testing.
[Xperia SP Android Development] unclegreggy:
anybody tried helium 5 or 6 on aicp 10 rom? which one is stable n smooth?
[Xperia SP Android Development] DimitrisGtr:
v5 its stable and smooth for me. im on the latest aicp nightly.
[Xperia SP Android Development] unclegreggy:
okay thanks i'll try it :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
First i'd like to apologize for an offtopic question but this looks like one of the most active threads around here.

This is my first time with a Sony Device and a few hours ago i managed to unlock the bootloader and flash a recovery and tried some ROMs too but i still haven't understood how to boot into recovery without flashing it again everytime? Also, isn't the boot partition for the Kernel, rather than the recovery? That's how it has been for all the other phones i've used. And since there is no way you can boot into the "boot" partition i have to always reflash the recovery using a PC to boot into it. Is it cause i'm using TWRP 3.0.0.0? Any help would be really appreciated :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] millikp:
Currently testing v6 test build #2. So far so good. No fps drop on certain apps. And absolutely smoother than v5.
[Xperia SP Android Development] unclegreggy:
ehh abit off topic but I can't somehow see a huashan aicp nightly build in the provided link of the AICP thread :/ only saw the unofficial 3/14 build
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
Flash TWRP 3.0.0 from your computer. Boot to it. Reflash your favourite ROM. Flash the zip of twrp 3. Done. Now you have a persistent recovery. Just press Volume+ a few times when you see the green LEDs a few seconds after you turn on your phone, and you'll go in twrp.
[Xperia SP Android Development] :
Boom! Got it.. It worked perfectly..Thanks a ton dude! You did what 10 How-to guides couldn't :p
[Xperia SP Android Development] DimitrisGtr:
yeah, flash that ;) thats what im running now.. my bad.
[Xperia SP Android Development] AbboodSY:
I'm on the second test build since 10h and until now everything working except freezes only in CoC game. but no more freezes (So far i guess) in the other apps i faced in V6

Edit: Faced two reboots until now while using the phone not to mention that there is no specific reason amd time. the kernel is with its original settings. tell me if you wants the last kernel message file..

Edit 2: Now freezes are back in all apps just like V6.

[Xperia SP Android Development] millikp:
I'm currently on this build and I didn't notice any difference except for the build date. And, shouldn't this test build have the update on v6? Because I still cant see the new governors on v6 on this test build.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
It's normal. This test build is almost identical to the previous one. It has only got some new source update. The new governors will be added later. In the mean time, I've tested the currently present governors and found that at least one of them is buggy and will be removed from the next build.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Arturk8791:

[Xperia SP Android Development] Alvichone:
I'm 6 hours in v.6_test_3 and I have had 3 hard & 1 soft reboot with different scenarios: ksm on/off, over clocked, default settings...

I can't obtain last_kmsg file to give u what happen.

Test_2 became a bit unstable 48h after installing, but nothing annoying. It's more stable than the other two test versions and v.6.0.

For me, v.5.0 it's the winner: stability > smooth

After Flash Helium V6 For Marshmallow I Don't Have Flash Light Any More but In Camera I Have Flash
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
This is strange. I'm using test build #3 since it was released and I have no reboots/issues. The strange thing is that test build #3 is identical to v5 + Adrian's source updates, so your issues should be present in the official kernel too. The last_kmsg would tell the truth in this case.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Alvichone:
I have tried with terminal app but it didn't work. I'm in team razor aosp 22.02.16 build.

Kernel adiutor last_kmsg option is gone when I install v.6.0 test versions and I have only logcat.txt and dmesg.txt options. But when I return to v.5.0 last_kmsg is back...weird too.

Enviado desde mi Xperia SP mediante Tapatalk
[Xperia SP Android Development] AbboodSY:
Then get the last_kmsg file from root explorer or ES File Explorer, you should be able to get it from there.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
v6.1 is a small update. It brings the latest source updates picked by Adrian + the brand new point release of the 3.4 kernel series. The governors that were present in v6.0 will be readded later. Helium v6.1 for Marshmallow will come out later but within today.

EDIT:

Helium v6.1 for M is available.

(Maybe) good news: I might have understood why adding GPU overclock leads to a non-booting kernel! I'll investigate some more next week.
[Xperia SP Android Development] flash-:
u can do a (adb pull /proc/last_kmsg) in cmd ....just enable usb debugging and enter that command and u will get ur last_kmsg :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] millikp:
Hi Tomoms. Just wanna report on how things are going with your Helium v6.1. Everything is awesome, except, for the lag on line app again. But I can live with that. This is, for me, the best version yet. The performance compensates the lag on line app, which I could live with. Keep it up brother. I do wish you can get rid of it though.

Anyway, thanks!
