[MENTION=7328701]koekoek91[/MENTION] what yhu say of tha battery? yeah v3.3 was good as an initial release with bugs-free & no bootlooping!!! Zach is tha man brov, gonna flash right away...

i need help please

"i tried to integrate some apps into system... please help

I don't know how battery life will evolve.

For me its pretty bad at the moment.

Even with the Xenon v2 governor profile [MENTION=6791680]_LLJY[/MENTION] and me made on MarshMallow its not so great.

Xposed will probably help once it will be here.

For me battery life is okay now, just not the best. I can get through the day easily though.

With Xenon v2 on Marshmallow maybe I got a little spoiled.... I dont know :p

But I see some guys saying 8-10 hrs SOT on Nougat. No idea how they do this or if its really true :silly:
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] peter.schwake@gmail.com:
Well... I never used alucard before, but now I will test and report ☺️ but now I think I go to bed first ☺️
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] RyTekk:
Afaik Alucard governor aims to improve battery life, but I get better performance from Alucard if be compared to ZZMoove, just play around 30 mins so time isn't enough to say about battery now. ElementalX is experimental on big.LITTLE right now (flar2 even recommended to use interactive instead of his own governor). Let you share your experience together :)

UPDATE: CPU Governor Tunable for big cluster always reset to default in Kernel Adiutor, I have to use ElementalX Kernel Manager to manage it, for those who want to play with governor tunable.

My bad, ElementalX Kernel Manager is same as Kernel Adiutor bug.

How many Lollipop users are still on the Z5 and following this thread ?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] RyTekk:
What's the status of cyan/teal led?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Ashray_Vk:
That was for full charge, no?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] RyTekk:
Yup, I guess green for 90%+ (stock) has been changed to 90-99% and teal for 100%+ (when devices get charged, they are still charged for minutes before the current is cut, it means the current will be showed 0mA in apps such as Ampere).
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Ashray_Vk:
Faced a weird bug though. When it's charged to 100? and I unplug, the teal colour is still present in the LED . [MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION] , faced this anytime ?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] halfblack:
I have this bug. Solution is to plug the charger again for a moment and unplug it again. This resets LED for me.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Ashray_Vk:
Yeah, figured out the momentary fix. Maybe this has something to do with deep sleep?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
The LED color is set to cyan when EOC has been reached (when the battery is reportedly full and charging gets terminated).
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] RyTekk:
I guessed right :laugh:. Btw, can you take a look to this sexy patch and give a try to bring it to Z5?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
I actually use this "breathing" hack on my Z Ultra, and i fail to see a noticable diff compared to stock (it may be caused by a LED bug tho which affects Android >= 5.0).

Anyway, my Kernel work is currently beeing halted. Too much stuff to do for university. I'll only update the Kernel to newer fw's for now.

At the current stage, i am disappointed by Sony. The software is mediocre.I dont feel like doing something till the software sees some improvements.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Destroyedbeauty:
Mediocre how? Kernel source wise?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] RyTekk:
It seems that this kernel cause reboot when do Antutu benchmark, I got two times continue, and my phone has not reached to the threshold of temperature yet to reboot. Anyone else experience that?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] albertobom:
I'm using androplus kernel v30 now.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] RyTekk:
Thanks for your reply even it's a little unrelated :laugh:, have you done an Antutu benchmark? Did your phone get reboot?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] albertobom:
I'm using androplus kernel v30 now.

The phone didn't reboot but the antutu app yes.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] _LLJY:
yo people, i made a custom rom based off this kernel, if you are interested: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z5/deve...-e6683-z5p-t3388183/post67072878#post67072878
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
Nope. Its dissapointing Sony accepts to sacrafice UX to fulfill its marketing strategy.

The main issue i have is that the Z5 does not feel flagship-like in real-life usage.

Sony attempts to make thinner and lighter devices, shrinks battery size, and tries to compensate for that with software "optimisations".

Sure, the 810's TDP is dissapointing at best, but Sony forcefully tries to lower energy consumption at the cost of UX, which is not acceptable.

Besides, Sony misses out on important areas of the UI, which would definitly need an overhaul.

The camera app is so bad even 4 year old phones do offer a better experience.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] RyTekk:
Hi [MENTION=5243932]Tommy-Geenexus[/MENTION], do you know about modes of Power Suspend? I tried to search about it but there're nearly zero. And I see you work together with zacharias, did you experience with reboot when doing Antutu benchmark?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
lets hope it gets better.....

need help please...

i tried to integrate some apps into system using Link2SD... please help

error: "mount: '/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system' ->' /system' : Device or resource busy"
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Sorry I have no idea how to help with this.

What I can tell you though is I used to use this app alot too.

But after a while I found that moving apps to external sd and the other options the app offers (don't really remember) it causes more problems than that it gives benefits so atleast for me it was not really worth it in my opinion.

What are you trying to do? :p

Can you tell in a more simple way?

I'll read it tomorrow. Really need some sleep now :laugh:
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
some system apps got updated, so im trying to integrate them back to system but it isnt working... it works on MM-
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
Can you guys recommend a working systemless root implementation with Nougat ?

In that case I could switch over to Nougat again ;)

Also is there an easy way to unroot you used before ?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] smiley.raver:
have you had a look at Magisk? (not sure if they have updated to nougat yet) - i will post the link when i can find it again as i'm looking to move across - but just dont have time.

SuperSU is working and I thought this is systemless, too? Will flash new kernel and see if rsap works with the new one.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Duvel999:
Phh Systemless Root / Superuser works good.

http ://superuser.phh.me/superuser.zip

I use this on my own repacked kernel based on AU. 376.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] astalavista66:
Ok, flashed new kernel. Vibration working again. But still no success with rsap. Seems to be a similar problem like the other apps with problems on /system (link2sd mentioned here).
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Since yesterday I've switched from supersu to phh's superuser because alot of times my settings in kernel adiutor mod wouldn't stick after a reboot.

Using phh's superuser seems to have fixed this.

I'll have to think a bit and try to remember my unrooting and install process.

I'll make a post on it later today.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
[MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION]

Okay I've just checked the threads that I used to unroot and move to magisk and phh's superuser and I think I can tell you what I did.

First I downloaded all the files.

Magisk install and uninstall flashable zips: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

SuperSU: https://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133

phh's superuser flashable zip: I looked this op on google and downloaded this: http://downloadmirror.co/Uop/phh-superuser-magisk-r259.zip

- I placed all the files on my external SD.

- Then I went into SuperSU and chose to completely unroot.

- After unrooting I went into twrp, and flashed latest beta supersu zip (I believe this is necessary to be able to flash Magisk, not sure if I remember correct).

- Then I flashed magisk latest version.

- Then flashed PHH-SUPERUSER-MAGISK-R259.ZIP and rebooted.

- After reboot I went into supersu and chose the option to change superuser app and let it do its work.

Then probably another reboot and I was done. No SuperSU installed but still properly rooted as shown by Magisk Manager, which you can optionally download.

I no longer have issues with kernel adiutor settings not sticking after reboot, or had any other issues so far.

Maybe there is a better way... this is just what I quickly gathered yesterday and just experimented and it worked out for me and solved some problems for me :p

- On a side note. I was just checking XperiFirm and noticed there is a new build number there for Xperia Z5 E6653.

Customized NOBA and Norway: 32.3.A.0.378.

Any idea what this is? ;)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Devo7v:
Just some minor corrections to the way Magisk and SuperSU work:

In order to start clean are remove all traces of root, you should use the unSU.zip file instead. Unrooting through SuperSU is good, but many users have reported that sometimes things are left behind. unSU has been confirmed to work and that all traces of root are removed.

You do not need to be rooted in install Magisk. There are 2 parts to Magisk, the first is the apk which is the GUI for accessing and changing the settings of Magisk. Through this GUI you can install the framework for Magisk, but you will need to be rooted to do this. I suggest not doing this. The other part, the framework, can be installed by flashing it through TWRP. I suggest installing the framework this way, especially if this is the first install of Magisk.

Finally, phh Superuser is no longer necessary; Magisk now has Superuser built in. The developer of Magisk forked phh superuser and integrated it directly into Magisk so that everything is contained in one app.

TL;DR: Flash the unSU.zip to completely remove all traces of root, reboot, flash the Magisk framework through TWRP, reboot, install the Magisk apk.

With all that said I just want to state that I am not on Nougat, so what I wrote above may no longer work, but at least on MM, this is the cleanest way to install Magisk and have root.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Well thanks i've learned some new things.

But when I was trying to flash Magisk (First install) then in twrp I got the message that I had to flash SuperSU first. This was after I unrooted from within SuperSU.

Is this what you were saying or am I missunderstanding something?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Devo7v:
You're getting that message because SuperSU wasn't completely removed. If you had used unSU.zip to remove SuperSU you would have not received that error.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
I'll try your method soon.

Thanks.

i tried latest magisk & it works fine but i noticed i cant enter recovery, phone freezes. had to boot a recovery to uninstall magisk.

Vibration bug

Hi [MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION]

Tnx for your Work for dual Variants ?

I test your kernel several times

And I found that vibration is not present in any menu of my device

Then I change to advanced stock kernel

And with same rom all vibration get back

Surely I say this is kernel bug

And battery life is about 50% less that stock kernel

What's the solution for now?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Vibration bug has been fixed in latest 3.4 kernel.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Nimadroid:
Tnx ☺

No I haven't had this issue.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
okay buddy.....
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
I've had no issues at all on 3.4 so far.

Battery drains pretty fast, but I still get 4-5 hrs of SOT on moderate usage.

I hope it'll become better though, maybe with xposed once it's released.

Nougat is supposed to be an improvement on battery life, but so far not yet really :p
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
tha differs is just bad, Nougat should be really an improvement in all ways!

hope subsequents updates ll fix things....

I'm still happy with Nougat though because it's much faster.

I'm currently not on Nougat, so didn't test

Please give feedback,

thanks

Changes:

So if you're NOT using root or any Kernel Feature modification tool (SetCPU, Kernel Adiutor / Mod, EX Kernel Manager, etc.) chances are high that this kernel is pretty stable

I'm currently investigating another source for instabilities (on 5.11),

but it's kind of hard with all those different built kernels to track down exact source lines and traces - thus success rate only on Z5 can be close to 100%.

372 Could potentially be rockstable, given there's no

mis-configuration

(e.g. the re-enabled ARCH_POWER, or other things)

Battery consumption might be higher than on Marshmallow when you used XPosed before,

There are quite some changes under the hood for Nougat done for the ROM, so not sure what Sony did,

this could be for the better or the worse.

Note:

- 372, 376, 378 kernel

source

is the SAME

- there might be ramdisk differences which need to be further investigated

- this kernel release is using 376 ramdisk content, so if using with 378 ROM release battery could be worse, less stable, etc. - like I wrote,

no idea YET

what changed with 378
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
gonna flash right away...... please can yhu embed dis tool in tha kernel. https://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/poc-real-trim-instead-drm-fix-t3552893

thanks always for yur great work...
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Just tried your method bro.

I flashed the unSU zip and rebooted.

Flashed magisk uninstaller and removed the apk.

But devcheck is still showing that I'm rooted.

Though... Apps that require root don't work anyone and say that I don't have root.

Did I do something wrong :laugh:

I was just trying this stuff out because I'm bored.

I won't have any trouble getting root again :p

EDIT: I think devcheck showing me I was still rooted was just wrong.

After using unsu.zip, flashing magisk uninstaller, I have now reflashed latest Magisk version and installed the apk and it shows properly rooted.

So i guess your method did work hehe :p:good:
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Nyuubi:
Is it OK if SafetyNet fails?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
SafetyNet fails for me too. It doesn't cause any issues for me though.

But I just noticed something else...

After being completely unrooted, reinstalling magisk framework and app, I have root and all....

But when I try to enter twrp it just keeps on being stuck on sony logo with orange led after having pressed volume button while booting up.

Reflashing TWRP or latest Sunkernel fixes it, but then again I have no root.

So I guess I will stay with the way that I was using and was working fine for me.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] goRt:
Yep, Magisk doesn't work 100% on Xperia at this time. I use stock kernel with RIC off and magisk hide allows me to pass safetynet
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
I posted dis few pages bak brov buh was overlooked. using phh superuser.

How is tha latest official version... Battery still drains fast here!
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Do you know what are the benefits of being able to pass safetynet?

For my phone usage, I haven't found any negative effects of not being able to pass safetynet.

---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 PM ----------

Latest official version I believe is just the same 3.4 kernel as [MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION] posted unofficially about a week ago or so :p

He should correct me if I'm wrong :laugh:
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] goRt:
Th significant one being I can use android pay
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
He said so also.... Was thinking dia re some new tweaks!
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
I haven't had time to flash official 3.4 kernel and also because I think it's the same one.

All I can say is the 3.4 kernel has been rock stable for me since I've been using it since the unofficiall release about a week ago.

Im using kernel adiutor mod to control the kernel without issues.

Mostly just configured the CPU and GPU to my liking.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
I only use kernel adiutor mod for kcal only... Mind sharing yur settings please?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
I think I've shared it before, but maybe by now I've changed something I don't know.

I'll shoot some screenshots in a bit.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
[MENTION=4471890]whalesplaho[/MENTION]

Here are the shots.

They are from the CPU, GPU, Thermal and Battery tabs.

I've also included some screenshots from my CPU governor tunables. If you decide to use these, make sure you apply correct tunables to correct clusters ( big/little).

You can recognize little and big cluster cluster screenshots by the target loads and above high speed delay values..

above high speed delay for big cluster is 20000, the other above high speed delay you see on the other screenshot is for little cluster.

EDIT: the other tabs which I didn't take screenshots from, I haven't touched.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
Thanks always mate...:highfive::good:
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
No problem bro.

By the way... what exactly does kcal do? Which setting is that in Kernel Adiutor? :p
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
For color... I jux modify tha saturation intensity value to 56 to make tha screen more like amoled. Shared by a memeber here on [MENTION=243864]xda[/MENTION]
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Ah okay thanks I didn't know.

But I'm fine with my screen as it is :p

Btw..don't expect to get suddenly alot more battery.

It may help a little bit to use my settings without sacrificing performance, but my battery life isn't all that great yet either ;):laugh:
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
Okay buddy.... Not so good here too!
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
One more thing I forgot to say..

If you decide to use my governor tunables values, I recommend that you enter all of them manually, don't just apply a couple of them and leave some out ( because you may think it's to much work to apply).

It might cause inappropriate behaviour.

I spent many hours on MM tweakkng these values, and if used it's best to use all of them since thats the way I intended it.

Also after applying the settings, save them to w profile in kernel adiutor so you can just apply the profile when settings might have changed after a reboot. This happens for me sometimes specially after having entered twrp recovery.

This way you won't have to enter all values manually again and you can just apply the profile ;)

On Nougat the CPU seems to behave okay...

Im experimenting with new values, but it just seems something else is draining battery on Nougat.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] whalesplaho:
seriously tha battery prob is something else..... i have tried to use Lspeed also buh still no tune up in battery!

thanks buddy
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Nimadroid:

Can all confirm that it's the same experience for everyone ? (significantly worse battery runtime)

If that's the case I'll drop the old kernel source base,
