Since our splashscreens are rle files which come from png's, it's not possible to have an animated splash.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Deleunes254:
Not even If I convert an animated png sequence to rle?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
I don't know. I wasn't aware of the existence of animated png's. Try and let us know!

what version is recommended for using in cm13?
[Xperia SP Android Development] flash-:
5/5.1 ...be sure u are flashing the M zip not the lollipop one ...and please search next for like this simple questions... If u read last 2 page u would find what u need ..no offense ..have a nice day [emoji2]
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
The latest.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
I've uploaded v6.2 only for M. It's a very small update, it adds a few source updates, nothing more. I didn't even bother to flash it. But since I built it, I've uploaded it. It's not an urgent update and for these reasons it won't be released for L.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Cyrus.xda:
Please tell us tomoms if it's for marshmallow is that version fix torch and WiFi because in 6.1 it's not working?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Alvichone:
I'm trying v.6.2 and torch light doesn't work,but WiFi yes
[Xperia SP Android Development] Cyrus.xda:
Thank You Mr Alvichone [emoji4]
[Xperia SP Android Development] aqvyx:
Can i overclock to 1,9 Ghz?Will it dosnt overheat? Because i want to play heavy games like Modern Combat 5 and record it with SCR 5+ Pro or Minecraft Pocket Edition. How many °C it will be?
[Xperia SP Android Development] ParanoidNemo:
I'm on 6.1 and torch and WiFi work correctly
[Xperia SP Android Development] flash-:
yes u can...and it probably will heat ...but no one knows how much ...it depends on the surrounding temp of ur phone :)

p.s : really ? u asked here and in the Q&A and u made me answer the same question twice thinking it was my bad internet :p

i have no problem answering anyone but please ask once in the Q&A section for normal questions and do post bugs..reviews ...here in the main thread ;)
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
You should have checked the second post. Also, I would have written something if I had fixed an important bug right?

You can try, then if it's too hot you can disable overclock easily.

On CM13??
[Xperia SP Android Development] ParanoidNemo:
Yes on cm13..flashed over ROM kernel 03/29 build, after a few days of usage
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
Weird but good!

Can you please try to make a video with flashlight enabled and see if it stays on while you record the video?

Use the default Camera app please.
[Xperia SP Android Development] ParanoidNemo:
Doesn't work.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
I fixed flashlight! I'll release the new kernel when Adrian finishes his updates. In the meantime, if you need the torch and flash in videos, I suggest you to use the default kernel!

[MENTION=5727088]Tomoms[/MENTION] i don't know, if you received my messages, but kernel you sent me still has problem with touch.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
Yes, I've read them. I'll continue to send you some test builds in the next days.
[Xperia SP Android Development] wuarx:
Ok, got it.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
With the latest cm13 please use Adrian's kernel. It needs to be tested since he's about to merge it. In the meantime I'll prepare v7.

[Xperia SP Android Development] ireaper4592:
can i use v5.0 on the latest nightlies plz?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
(I assume you're talking about cm12.1)

Yes you can, but it would be better if you used v6.1 (unless you have touchscreen problems).
[Xperia SP Android Development] ireaper4592:
sorry to ask a noob question but how do i flash with recovery or flashtool?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
With TWRP.
[Xperia SP Android Development] ireaper4592:
sorry i meant to delete this as i just flashed before with twrp thanks anyway i flashed but there are no settings to use so i installed no frills cpu,can u tell me which govenor would be best for battery and performance thanks:highfive:
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
Don't use No Frills, it doesn't support many of the features of this kernel, use Kernel Adiutor instead. A balanced governor is ondemandplus, try it.
[Xperia SP Android Development] steveglowplunk:
Hello. I suddenly remembered this warning posted some months ago. Can we use helium v5 on roms built after Feb 22? I've tried helium v6.1 and it still have slight freezes when playing games while v5 doesn't. I switched back and forth between v5 and v6.1 to test and I'm pretty sure v6.1 caused slight freezes.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
Read the second post of the thread. You can use v6.1/v6.2 (only for M) on all ROMs built before the 5th of April. Try Adrian's default kernel and check if there are these freezes while playing games.
[Xperia SP Android Development] steveglowplunk:
I've read the second post and I know v6.1 is compatible with roms built before apr 5, but I want to know if v5 is compatible with roms built after feb 22 too.:confused:
[Xperia SP Android Development] ireaper4592:
why does it say core 2 offline?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
It is. If one version (in this case, v6.1) is compatible with all ROMs built before a date (in this case, 5th of April), all the older versions of the kernel will work too (except if some very very big changes have been added to Adrian's kernel, but it doesn't happen very often).

The 2nd core doesn't stay always online. Go in the CPU frequency tab and drag Android's notifications menu down and up quickly. You'll see that the second core goes online. If not, go in the "CPU hotplug" tab and check if one hotplug is enabled (never enable more than 1).
[Xperia SP Android Development] AdrianDC:
Talking about kernels-ROMs intercompatibility, the biggest issue that may appear over the last 2 months

should be related to clocks in my opinion, I don't nor want to remember which day & minutes of each build and kernel are compatible,

but you should be aware that I updated the kernel alarm core drastically on the current kernel updates and it may break alarms a bit on CM13.

I'm mentioning that in case someone would like to complain about being late for school or work, we won't be responsible anyways ;) .

Other than that, as long as it works fine for you it should be ok.

Yet my ever repeating comment about kernels... Would be good to confirm the new kernel from CM-13.0 / CM-12.1 Betas is stable

to allow me merging everything that I put on hold instead of using old antiquated kernels, no matter the tweaks they received :) .
[Xperia SP Android Development] ireaper4592:
sorry one more question why after flashing helium v5.0 does my twrp change to cyanogen recovery?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
Flash this TWRP 3.0.1-0 in Cyanogen Recovery and from now on you'll see TWRP 3 when you press Vol+.

<br />
[Xperia SP Android Development] steveglowplunk:
So I've tested different kernels with different roms...

Candy5 (which is built on 01Dec2015) with helium v6.1 have random freezes, with helium v5 and Adrian's default kernel have no freezes.

Temasek v19 (which is built on 23Mar2016) with helium v6.1 and Adrian's default kernel have random freezes, with helium v5 have no freezes. (surprisingly the alarm did woke me up with helium v5)

Temasek v18.5 (which is built on 10Nov2015) with helium v6.1 have random freezes, with helium v5 and Adrian's default kernel have no freezes.

Oh and I forgot to get the logs while testing, sorry about that. :(
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
Ok so it's obvious that the new config file I've used from v6 on (which is based on Adrian's latest one) is causing:

touchscreen issues

freezes.

So from v7 I'll revert to the old config file until I have time to clean it a bit. Thank you all for testing! Expect better things with v7. And go test Adrian's latest kernel, now! :p

v7 will be available as soon as Adrian merges his kernel into the official repos.
[Xperia SP Android Development] steveglowplunk:
Hello [MENTION=5727088]Tomoms[/MENTION], while testing the kernels I found that starting from helium v5, somehow the default max cpu frequency is 1458mhz, but I can change it back to 1728mhz after booting up. I did not turn on msm_limiter nor I want to do so. It's not a big issue but is it possible to fix in the next version?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
I have this problem too. Not an important one, as you said, but I'll try to fix it.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
Somebody using CM13 please test this kernel: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24499762636000285

Tell me if you get bootloops/problems/etc. please.

[Xperia SP Android Development] OsGhaly:
OK here you are my quick review,

Flashed successfully but stuck at Sony logo after first reboot..and booted normally after the second reboot.

Everything seems to be working OK (network, WiFi, Bluetooth, flash light, etc..).

Performance is good but ofc need more time to judge battery and performance.

Great job Mr. Tomoms ?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Alvichone:
Bootloop in boot animation, five minutes waiting and nothing.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
When you have time, try to reboot a few times the phone and check if it boots normally. Thanks!
[Xperia SP Android Development] OsGhaly:
Seems that I was lucky only once..

When I tried to reboot the phone it hanged and didn't even reboot, so I turned it off from the back button. After that I tried to boot it again a couple of times with no luck (stuck at boot animation not Sony logo this time).

But it booted again normally after clearing cache and dalvik cache.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
Download link for v7 beta 3 (CM13 only)

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24499762636000285

This release fixes torch, improves smoothness (at least for me), adds some new features and brings Adrian's latest stable updates.

Issues: booting sometimes gives loops. I'll look into these issue soon.

Workaround: when you flash the kernel, wipe cache and dalvik cache (sorry for that!).

Then it will boot. If it doesn't boot, flash the ROM's boot.img.

Suggestion: before flashing, backup your /system/lib/modules folder, so if you need to go back to stock kernel you can just copy it back to its position and you won't loose WiFi.

Good luck!

i have custom rom AICP NIGHTLY-20151109 version .which i download v5 or 6.1 ??what about mm ??? plz compare two kernel by each other
[Xperia SP Android Development] steveglowplunk:
So I have compared both kernels earlier...if you're looking for stability, use helium v5, if you don't mind testing for Tomoms, try helium v6.1 and report is it freezing or not!:)
[Xperia SP Android Development] kar2rost:
If I flash v6 and it freez can I remove it?has unistaller?
[Xperia SP Android Development] steveglowplunk:
You can't "remove" a kernel (it'd be terrible to do so), but you can replace it by flashing helium v5.
[Xperia SP Android Development] AbboodSY:
No Helium V5 For CM13? That'd be sad
[Xperia SP Android Development] steveglowplunk:
The helium_v5.0_M.zip is still available for download.:rolleyes:Download it before it gets deleted!
[Xperia SP Android Development] AbboodSY:
I didn't find the link of it in AFH of Tomoms! Where is it! Thats kinda weird
[Xperia SP Android Development] steveglowplunk:

Strange i found only the lollipop version of V5 :/ Anyway thanke pal.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
News

Adrian released new builds of his ROMs. Use his kernel, it needs testing. I'll be testing it too, but in the meantime I'll include his updates in my kernel. The good thing is that using v7 beta 3 I rebooted the phone 4 times and no bootloop occurred. I'll do some more tests when I have more free time. I'll have to study a lot until the 28th of April so don't expect updates until the end of the month. At least a beta version will come soon, anyway. I just need a bit of time to relax and focus on my to-do list and get things done :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] Jammu93:
with beta 3 and latest cm13 smooth and quite fast enough

Can we use Helium 7.0 b3 with CM13 from 23.04? :(

Or we must wait for a new version? <- In this option when we can expect a new Helium? :confused:
[Xperia SP Android Development] AdrianDC:
No you can't unless you want to lose WiFi.

And you shouldn't unless you don't care about official merges happening anytime soon ;) .
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
New build

There's a new build on AndroidFileHost, it's for M only. It must be flashed on 0423, not on previous builds. The main purpose of this build is to fix some bugs I've left behind for too much time.
[MENTION=5847787]MizoSome[/MENTION] if you can, test it and try to use FauxSound. You shouldn't face any problem now.
[MENTION=4831201]wuarx[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6037743]Jammu93[/MENTION]: test touchscreen on Adrian's kernel and on this one please.
[Xperia SP Android Development] AbboodSY:
Sure i will test it today as soon as i download the 4/23 build and the kernel.
[Xperia SP Android Development] wuarx:
Ok, i got it, downloading and flashing all this stuff today.

UPD: touch on Adrian's kernel not working, with helium everything goes well. One interesting bug - notifications are not working.
[Xperia SP Android Development] AbboodSY:
[MENTION=5727088]Tomoms[/MENTION] i tried the FauxSound and it's just not working as always and the notification drawer are not working, i can't pull the notifications drawer to reach the tiles i mean.

Going to try this ROM

[ROM][BETA][6.0.1] CyanogenMod 13.0 for Xperia SP

http://xdaforums.com/xperia-sp/orig-development/rom-6-0-1-cyanogenmod-13-0-xperia-sp-t3347677

Which version of kernel is stable and best for this one?

Please reply.
[Xperia SP Android Development] AbboodSY:
Helium V5
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
Don't use v5. It'll break everything, on the latest CM13 build.

If you have got the touchscreen problem, use helium_v7_b3.zip, but it would be better if you tried to accomplish Adrian's mission: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66524537&postcount=22

About betav4 - i find this kernel stable enough. Got only one random reboot.
[Xperia SP Android Development] hamed24:
v6 is good for cm13 04/11? have any problem

sent from Xperia™ SP | Android 6.0.1
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
Yes it's good.

EDIT: I've release v8. This is a new release, based on Adrian's latest sources, and therefore compatible only with CM13 0423. I'll release a CM12.1 version later.

Random reboot? >

Give me the last_kmsg

.

Bootloop? >

Connect your phone to your computer and take a logcat via adb

(and give it to me, obviously).

Otherwise, I won't believe you :D
[Xperia SP Android Development] finnal123:
Still waiting for v8 L :v
[Xperia SP Android Development] AdrianDC:
No ETA, pressure and all ;)
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
Next week ;) (probably on Monday or Tuesday)

Bootloop

When I first flashed the kernel, the first boot was fine and the ROM (cm13 0423) was super smooth. But when I tried to reboot, I got bootloop. I pressed the reset button and booted again many times, but still got bootloop. Had to flash stock kernel again.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Jammu93:
Random Reboot

Suddenly screen gone black and boom... Sony logo
[Xperia SP Android Development] Miggystar:
Sorry no last kmsg, but reporting same here, soft reboot and when that happens, Bootloop. It fixes with hard reset, but everytime soft-reboot the phone enter in a bootloop.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
Can you give me a logcat taken during the bootloop?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
v9 beta is available. Test it and see if the bootloops are gone. This situation is weird. Very weird.

Download link (M only): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24521665358596045
[Xperia SP Android Development] Miggystar:
Sorry if I cant give you the logcat I switched back to H7 beta 3 yesterday but, today y flashed H 9 super beta and maybe I did something wrong but now I've lost WiFi. I will try clean install in 2 hours, probably that happens because I dirty flashed over Helium 7Beta 3 . Thats is the only bug I found for now

EDIT: Wifi working with 23/04 build so far, no softreboot until now, if i face some random reboot or bootloop I tell
[Xperia SP Android Development] AdrianDC:
Newer kernels based on my sources since 22-23 april will have WiFi working only on newer ROMs.

Significant changes were made to make the kernel standalone.

So far, I can say that 12.1 / 13.0 / AOSP RRO / AOSP CAF ROMs are compatible.

Released 12.1 today, but I'm delaying Marshmallow builds for the moment,

and I asked not to build with my sources until it's ready for a newer release.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
I need someone on latest CM12.1 to test v9 beta for L. Just flash it and reboot. See if it boots. Reboot 5 or 6 times until you get a bootloop (bootanimation for more than 3 minutes). If you get a bootloop, take a logcat and send it to me. If you don't get a bootloop after 6 reboots, tell me. At this point the tester can go back on Adrian's kernel, if he/she wants. [MENTION=4705621]finnal123[/MENTION]
[Xperia SP Android Development] finnal123:
I'm using Stryflex 4.0 rom, but i can test this for u ;)
[Xperia SP Android Development] finnal123:
On tryflex 4.0 with v9 L, rebooted about 8 times, no bootloop, everything work fine except wifi
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
Ok, WiFi doesn't work because Styrflex is old. It will work only on ROMs built after 04.23. Anyway, thanks for testing!

Now I can safely say: v9 is a stable version. It can be used on latest ROMs.

EDIT: v9 installer zip has been moved to the standard Helium folder on my AFH.

EDIT #2: as Adrian stated here (announcement), the bootloops are random (actually it seemed very strange that my kernel could cause that kind of bootloop) and he's working to fix them. Use the kernel you prefer, on either L or M!
[Xperia SP Android Development] marios199546:
Video recording doesn't work with Helium :(
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
Damn! Thanks for reporting this important bug! I'll do my best to fix it ASAP!!

EDIT: [MENTION=3418272]marios199546[/MENTION] I fixed the issue! I'll release the new kernel this evening :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] marios199546:
Also video decoding seems to be laggy/buggy (both from sd card or internal storage) Tried VLC and native Gallery video player. Can you check that too ?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
Not a problem in that scenario for me. I often use YouTube, the Gallery's built-in video player and Google Photos' video player.
[Xperia SP Android Development] marios199546:
Youtube runs flawlessy. I tried Google Photos' video player still the same problem .Maybe the problem is that these videos have benn recorded by SP( with latest CM13)
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
v10 released. It's an important update and it will be available for Lollipop tomorrow.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Cyrus.xda:
Hi Tomoms Thanks For Very Tweaked Kernel I Really Appreciate But im on kernel beta v 9 M i have to say it's get laggy sometime but overall is good some times bootloop with hard reset sometimes loop on starting apps sometimes phone is dead when im change cpu gov to smartmax and overclock to 1.9 ghz somtimes hot reboot by changing other gov cpu ram free little bit worse but its satisfied me by swap the ram but laggs... Can i ask you to release a new ver because adrian update his kernel from 04/29 without any bootloop and by the way im on cm 13, 29 April Thank You for Your Amazing Rom
[Xperia SP Android Development] ma4a3er:
cant find it on server :D
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
Reuploaded :)

It had disappeared, don't know why...

EDIT: finally reuploaded here: helium_v10_M.zip
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
Bootloops: not my fault and not caused by any kernel.

Smartmax causes reboots? It will be removed, then. Use another governor.

Other things you said: I don't have a specific proof/evidence about these facts. If you don't like this kernel or it works badly for you, use Adrian's kernel.

EDIT: v10 for Lollipop uploaded! Also v10 for Marshmallow now can be find on AFH as usual :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] unclegreggy:
v10 for lolipop has no WiFi

using the latest CM 12.1 build 5/01 lollipop
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
What a shame! I'll try to fix it this weekend.

EDIT: [MENTION=7226671]unclegreggy[/MENTION] you're using an official nightly, right? Nightlies + Helium kernel = no WiFi unless you push a different hardware lib (which Adrian has got in some of his zips) to the /system partition. Helium won't break WiFi when Adrian will have merged the new kernel & other stuff. So there's nothing I can do.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Unusual Man:
How can I turn on FM transmitter?

[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:

[Xperia SP Android Development] I_am_Blackford:
Does it include [MENTION=2233641]Adrian DC[/MENTION] latest kernel merges? :angel:
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
Of course :D

(next time read the changelog in the first post)

EDIT: v11 for L uploaded.
[Xperia SP Android Development] steveglowplunk:
[MENTION=5727088]Tomoms[/MENTION] any chance to get wifi working with helium v11 in roms built before 23 April?:confused:
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
No. You have to update your ROM.
[Xperia SP Android Development] cipetonk:
hope smartmax will be readded :D
[Xperia SP Android Development] Tomoms:
I've removed it since it was unstable according to some users. So I won't readd it.

By the way, I'll build v12.1 later today even for L users (sorry but these days I can't build for L very often).
