VadimTk, which Uber Toolchain version are you using to compile the kernel? I've tried with aarch64-linux-android-5.3-kernel and I'm getting quite a few bizarre errors (mainly "error, forbidden warning" type).
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] gokart2:
Believe 4.9
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] dirtyhank:
Silly me, the info was right in front of my face.

Thanks!

EDIT: Compiled perfectly with aarch64-linux-android-4.9-kernel Uber Toolchain. Now off to do some experiments
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] WelcomeToTheSkye:
Off topic but:

Happy new years [MENTION=2833026]VadimTk[/MENTION] I wanted to thank you for all the hard work you have done to make our devices fly with your amazing open source kernal.. There hasn't been a moment where I wasn't in your kernal after it came out for 5.1,1 and I'd like to congratulate you for being the best and only kernal for the Moto X Pure. Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see more from you in the coming year of 2016

Have been getting random restarts for the last two days. Any ideas? Can I use "Take a bug report" from developers options to post it up here?
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] TrenchKato:
You need to pull the catlog after the reboot. It's in /proc/lastkmsg
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] cerobles1:
And do I post here or send a pm? And to whom do I send the pm?
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] TrenchKato:
Just attach it here. Someone smarter than me will take a look

Tried to flash this on the latest truepurexmm ROM and it just says failed everytime, is this only meant for untouched stock Roms?
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] lafester:
Most likely you are flashing it wrong. Did you read the thread?
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] dmb219:
It's not a flashable zip. You need to extract the .img file and flash that either with twrp or via fastboot.
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] AnimusVoxx:
Yeahup I just read that, sorry to waste your time.
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] dmb219:
That's ok, I would have flashed the zip too if I hadn't been following for a while.

I am using kernel auditor and when I watch the cpu screen it is constantly changing the max setting by its self. Is there something I'm missing here. All other phones I've had would stay where I set them other than samsung but I could fix that by deleting an mpdecision file in /system. It there a workaround for this? I just want it to stay where I set it.
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] dirtyhank:
Forgive me for the slight offtopic but I've been doing some experiments compiling this kernel from source and although I've been successful with minor mods now I've hit a wall.

The thing is I wanted to try to backport CPU overclocking from the ElementalX Nexus 5X kernel (been able to include some governors and I/O schedulers), so some modifications to a couple of .dtsi files are required. I've tried creating a dtb.img but I get a bootloop, if I append the raw .dtb to the kernel they are pretty much ignored.

Anyone knows the correct procedure to make sure the kernel is using the updated dtbs?
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] MrMeeseeks:
The TCP/IP algorithm is set to bic. At least it was for me. For anyone using this kernel, I would suggest getting kernel adiutor from the Play Store and setting the TCP/IP algorithm to cubic or westwood. They are better suited for mobile devices.

[MENTION=2833026]VadimTk[/MENTION] maybe one of these could be set as default in any future release. I'm guessing bic is the default from moto since another user on an aicp build had the same algorithm as default.
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] guraki:
What governor and i/o scheduler do you suggest?
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] patt2k:
the LP rom had many governors this one only has basic ones. I keep mine usually on "on demand"
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] jeboo:
I just happened to see this mentioned in the moto git..I would read through

https://github.com/MotorolaMobilityLLC/kernel-msm/issues/38

Hopefully it's as simple as updating this field (https://github.com/MotorolaMobility...r1-release-falcon-gpe/mkbootimg/bootimg.h#L43) in the boot.img hdr. If not, you may need some tools from CM.
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] dirtyhank:
Looks like I'll need updated mkbootimg and probably dtbtool as well.

Thanks a lot!

What are the advantages of this kernel over Stock been thinking about trying it but is it worth it and Why do you guys think?
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] WelcomeToTheSkye:
Idk if it's just a placebo but I've noticed a increase in battery and speed.
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] dirtyhank:
Definitely better than stock, especially in performance. Give it a try.
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] vimal_jakmola:

[X Style (Pure) Android Development] patt2k:
Look in the OP.. There is version for Style and Pure.
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] Sheetzie03:
come on maan, at least look in the original post of the thread for the answer before posting a question, ya know what im saying?
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] patt2k:
I don't know what's in this kernel but since couple days ago I get best battery I ever had since I got the phone and performance seems even faster then on AICP - I can't really compare yet because AICP is not done yet but it was faster. If stock with a custom kernel is so fast that means something.
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] vimal_jakmola:
Where is the original post op and where it is written all posts goes to 1575

You are running AICP with this kernel currently?
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] guraki:
Cant wait for the next release!!!!
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] dirtyhank:
In the end all I needed was a v3 dtbtool and updated mkbootimg. I've been able to include the modified DTB and got overclocking working :)

I'm right now using a mixed approach, with little cores overclocked to 1632MHz and the big cores at stock 1824MHz. This thing rocks, it's smooth as butter. Gonna test for a few days and see the impact on battery life and stability but so far so good.

Thanks again buddy, your comment set me on the right track.

[X Style (Pure) Android Development] gokart2:
Are your OC settings sticking? Have you messed with the GPU frequencies?
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] dirtyhank:
Yes, they are sticking, I set the max absolute allowed frequency at boot (via cmdline parameter) and then I use the ElementalX Kernel app to tune the CPU after boot.

I haven't messed with the GPU yet but I'd like to take a look, although I'm not very optimistic about the OC potential of the GPU.
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] gokart2:
Can you send me the links to the v3 dtbtool and updated your mkbootimg your using? I want to give it another try. Got the 5.1.1 kernel to build, but no matter what I couldn't get it to boot.
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] dirtyhank:
Sure. I'm using CM13 dtbtool and xiaolu mkbootimg (although I'm pretty sure any other modern mkbootimg would work).
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] patt2k:
Negative
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] lafester:
Would you mind sharing your build?
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] cerobles1:
How about undercloaking or even voltage control? I would like to see how much battery I can squeeze out of this phone by lowering min speed
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] dirtyhank:
It's worth investigating although I don't think there's much room with this CPU. I've already had to turn OC down a notch as I experienced one reboot using the phone while charging, I guess the heat generated by the charging process pushed the CPU over the limit.
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] pradeepvizz:
I am happy to see some real tech talk on tweaking here and all efforts taken by some are appreciated, of course not to forget the OP for the kernel!

I have been a following some threads on OnePlus 2 and HTC One M9 forums where the guys tried to keep a sustainable performance due and avoid heating of the device. From both of these forums i noticed that ppl were successful to keep the heat low and maintained a sustained performance by reducing the utilization of a53 core's. They tried to use only 2 x a53 or down-clocked the a53's for that purpose.

I tried to follow that for our device (stock rooted) by turning off 2 a53 cores using the kernel auditor app/ex kernel app, however it doesn't stick. i don't know why it doesn't stick, guess something related to hotplugging/pnpmgr etc which i am not aware of. The next thing i did was to reduce the max frequency of a53, i am current running the a53 at 787 mhz using the kernel auditor app. I won't say the performance is excellent, but heating has totally gone down and i think the battery improved.

During regular usage of the stock kernel, i noticed that the a57's aren't getting utilized during daily use. say for example when using a skype video call over wifi, i noticed that the a53's run at full speed and the a57's aren't doing anything and the phone heats up. i personally think the a57's are much more efficient than the a53 and the skype should have been handled by the a57 and not the a53. so when i did this change of limiting the max frequencies of the a53's then the a57's get activated and is used quite well. the best thing i like about it is that it doesn't heat at all. i don't feel the heat at all.

I would be interested in overclocking the a57's a bit more and making them work hard and let alone the a53's. i don't know to build kernel but am quite interested and have the computer resources for that. [MENTION=2400758]dirtyhank[/MENTION] or other developers, if you can post the beta builds of the overclock-able builds of the stock kernel i would gladly try my theory and be available for testing the kernel.
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] sir-harlekin:
I would also be interested in this feature, but i am just curious: has DT2W be inplemented from scratch or can it be forked from another MM-kernel offering DT2W to a device it is not native to?

How's performance and stability compared to stock rom? Any random reboots? & are there many governors to play about with? Haven't flashed anything in ages & eager to try this custom kernel
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] mrvanx:
I havent used this with a stock MM ROM but the one I use (TruPureXMM) is fairly close to stock, with just some minor debloat and tweaks. So far no random reboots or issues to speak of.

The only things that have bothered me are bluetooth related and i'm fairly sure that has nothing to do with the kernel, and have been present since the original LP setup which came shipped in the device.

So a full nandroid backup then flash away!!!

[X Style (Pure) Android Development] WelcomeToTheSkye:
Frandom is a random number generator used for Entropy. It's enabled by default on some kernels I'm not sure about this kernal. It reduces lag and does stuff behind the scene so it's nothing to worry about

[MENTION=2833026]VadimTk[/MENTION] seems that Motorola slightly updated the source of their kernel :

Best kernel, and despite wifi not working i am still using it. Maybe there is some file which i should paste somewhere in system folder for wifi?
[X Style (Pure) Android Development] kadopt:
WiFi does not work because the drivers are not correct. You'll need a specific version for your device. The kernel is in boot partition.

I have a GT-S5360 which is stuck in a boot loop.

I've tried wiping the cache and a factory reset: makes no difference.

I tried rooting it with the update from here: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2085390

It appears to do what it should: says "Install complete", but still gives the same problem.

When I go to reboot, it says:

Then I tried downloading something to it with Odin, which looked like it did what it should, but the phone is still stuck in a boot loop and now I cannot get to enter Odin mode.

Finally, I did a search of this site and found an appropriate looking thread which took me to here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/x8...ockworkmod.zip

Which comes back as "Installation aborted".

If I try to wipe data after running the update, it comes back with:

I'm guessing there is something not working with that update: can anyone suggest a better one to try?

Or some way to get back into Odin?

Thanks in advance.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Totemic_tHiRp:
Hi all,

I was running my stock 5.1.1 (LPD23.118-6.1) rom rooted for a long time and wasn't able to receive OTA updates due to the obvious reason about rooting and etc. My recovery wasn't changed. So, I saw the thread about that "flashable zips" about 6.0 roms and decided to test it. Due to some crashes and forced closes, I decided to back to my previous backup of rooted 5.1.1 stock rom. But now I want to have my phone stock as hell, and the first thing that I do was flash the most updated firmware that I found in here that was available to download. I flashed the whole LPD23.118-6.3 stock rom, a little bit newer than my old stock rooted rom. Everything working, everything fine, except...

In bootloader it says "Software status: modified", and when I try to manually check about updates, it says that my software is up to date, which I know isn't true, because OTA update of Android 6.0 is already available (i have a friend who got an X Play and he already received the ota).

How can I solve this? :rolleyes:
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottdanpor:
The force closes you got are completely normal and if you read the thread you will have found out you just need to reboot your phone until they go away.

The status modified just means your bootloader was unlocked and doesn't matter.

You have a few options, keep trying for OTA, flash another version and keep trying for OTA, sideload one of the available OTA zip files, or try a TWRP backup.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Totemic_tHiRp:
Thanks for your reply. Actually i'm downloading the recently posted 6.0 firmware for the Brazilian/Latin American rom in firmware's thread. Unfortunately the download is very slow, but I guess I can surely update without losing anything. The only strange thing is that I didn't received any OTAs....
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K.khiladi:
It's not necessary that if your friend has received the OTA then even you will receive it within few days. The OTA is rolled batch wise and no one knows which phone is in which batch except Moto of course. [emoji4]
[XDA Assist] thefallenghost:
I am currently using an old ZTE N860, but its time is clearly up. I would like to buy an unlocked phone (up to ~250$) that I know I can root (likely from Amazon or similar). I have 4 questions:

1) I have tried rooting my ZTE device unsuccessfully, but I can see that rooting seems to always involve "flashing" (replacing?) a new ROM through recovery, which I understand is a customized version of the Android kernel: is this correct?

2) I know there are risks of bricking your device while trying to root, but as far as data privacy goes, what popular ROMs/rooting applications would you say are safe (I've seen ClockwordMod, CyanogenMod, KingRoot, SuperSU)?

3) If I'd like to make a custom ROM for my device in the future (probably just for fun), are there any tools available?

4) Any interesting suggestions for the phone itself (I've seen "BLU" phones are quite cheap)?

Thank you!

The main reason i bought my s6 was because i love having a rooted android phone and i wanted a namebrand i could trust with that.

Can someone plz guide me in the right direction..i wanna finally be able to take control of my phone..plz help!!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] olearius33:
What do you mean you've "tried kingroot, pingpong root, and every other one out there and still nothing"? So you have tried them all and were unsuccessful? Which S6? Which firmware are you running? What happens when it fails? Which recovery? You're not going to find anything that will crack the firmware without flashing something through Odin or recovery dude.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
You will need to learn how to use Odin. Here is a tutorial on how to do that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tv0BnfpNxEs

Download and, using Odin, flash the TAR file from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=44922

Your phone will reboot and you will have root.

You can also install TWRP through Odin.

You need to use Odin for this. If that is too complicated for you, then you are out of luck.

I'm on the newest stock firmware, OL1. Will this method work on my device?
