Thanks [MENTION=5900960]ShadowElite[/MENTION] for your good work! :good:

I'm trying to get Magisk - systemless root/xposed (http://xdaforums.com/android/software/mod-magisk-v1-universal-systemless-t3432382) to work with your kernel. Until now - no sucsess... I think this is because of your kernel because with Advanced Stock Kernel (stock zImage) and full stock it works - if they are rooted with systemless Magisk process!

Main questions are if there are any "SU" injections (to system partition) or/and "SELinux permissive" settings in your Kernel.

I already went trough the source but even I found something that will be related to SELinux I cannot read and understand it completely. :confused:

Main goal is to get an banking app to work which needs NO root / NO Xposed / and "SELinux enforcing" using Magisk and its nice temp unroot! As I said with full stock and advanced stock kernel it works - root and banking app are working after root is switched off temporary.

For me Magisk could be the future of systemless rooting.

More and more apps like Android pay and banking apps don't like root and xposed at all...

It would be nice if you can take a look into this (If you have time...)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] ShadowElite:
Next version will have systemless xposed, I tried also the root but for example for me that I use a prerooted room, it creates problems
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fluffi444:
Yes - made the same experience toady during my test to get MM completely "system free". Quite impossible to remove all the possible blockers from a prerooted room. I ended up in falshing 100% stock (I'm on UL bootloader), Andvaced stock kernel for TWRP and root with Magisk... This works right away as I said...

As Iam going to use SLiMM I will try only to flash "slimm_3_1.zip" (inside of the full SLiMM ROM - after full stock TFT ROM) leaving the rooting stuff behind. This file is like OTA (or it is it actually) and is not doing any rooting stuff which can conflic with Magisk... It's then more or less just an de-bloating and optimizing function...

And if your Kernel will handel this it would THE perfect compination :)

Ask if you need any testing support etc
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
I heard that some apps are now detecting systemless root, lmao...

I saw a new Xposed module called RootCloak..

Tried with my partners stupid anti-root banking app Hong Leong, and it started working...

My bank Westpac however is in the future, and they have no problems with what people want to do with their own properties, and allow super user administrative privileges... Engineers can work and do banking

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fluffi444:
RootCloak is using old and outdated procedure and is actaully not useable anmore. Only useable for old or stupid apps (as you said already).

Xposed runing with this - So no solution mostly.

This all is not only about systemless rooting (and for sure there are detecting apps already) - its more about to real and complete disable root while booted system (and easy to activate it again during booted system). If not alreay done read and understand what this "Magisk-thing" is about.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
That's cool.

That would be an awesome feature...

It's rediculous isn't it.

We can use 'su' or 'administration' on our computers, tablets, to not be able to use it on other mobile devices seems primitive...

I'm happy my bank is advanced enough, and can use widgets, banking services etc. on my rooted phone..

Hey there,

After reading the thread I'm rather unsure what steps do I need to follow.

I currently have Slim 3.1 on a factory reset phone. Do I just unlock the bootloader and flash the boot.img?

or is there something I'm missing? a wipe? a factory reset?

In addition, I assume that using Sony's bootloader unlocking proccess voids the warranty. Is there any other way to do this?

I still have a few months of warranty.

Update:

All worked fine as far as I can tell however, although I am puzzled to where I can see the settings/changes?

CPU OC/UC? Boot Profiles? Do I need to download some apps for this?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
Congratulations!

Yip, use 'Kernel Adiutor' from the Play Store, the default settings are awesome, but of course you can tinker and tweak settings...

Kernel Adiutor has profiles and a widget

I have found one problem with offline charge.

After selfshutdown because of empty battery, the phone do not charge offline.

I have z3c 4 hours on charger and the redlight is lit , but the phone have charge 0% and don't turn on. I have do this twice and nothing.

Then i have press continually the Power Button, so the screen remains on and the charge indicator always displays. Only when I've done this 2-3 minutes the phone begin to charge
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Sydrox:
Uhm, Small question, upon boot I get a yellow LED notification. If I press the volume down it turns into orange it freezes on the sony xperia logo. Any idea if this has anything to do with this kernel or rom?

Do you consider adding multirom support?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Sydrox:
Again, this appears I able to go into TWRP. As soon as the phone boots, a yellow led lights up. If I press volume up, the LED changes color to orange and the phone stops responding(waited like 2 minutes).

If I wait a bit, the LED switches off. After a couple of seconds it switches on in green and the phone vibrates. If I hit

volume down

I enter TWRP. I am familiar with the second part, it has been this way since i first had TWRP/CWM.

EDIT:

Nevermind, the first case also goes into TWRP (instantly). I guess it was a bug.

Hello and sorry for noob question... Is it safe to use this kernel with locked bootloader? Can there be problems with DRM Keys or it's ok?

Thanks a lot for answer

[emoji6] you can't change your kernel with a locked bootloader...

[emoji7]

Don't try it unless you backup your DRM keys first, and you've decided to unlock, and you unlock with proper instructions, it's a big decision which I usually say don't, but at this moment in time it's now a 50/50 decision, only you can decide for yourself kind of deals...

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] king960:
It is impossible to flash custom kernels on locked bootloader devices. Only on unclocked devices you can do such things.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] fluffi444:
Its safe somehow because with locked Bootloader you are not able to flash this custom Kernel :o

That means with LB only stock kernels (from Sony - elf-file) are flashable (with Flashtool).

If you unlock your bootloader your original DRM are away! So do a backup of TA partition before. Right now! :D

The DRM functionality of this kernel is a kind of workaround (same as this older DRM fix flashable zips) which brings almost all DRM stuff back. But its still not 100% like original...afaik only Screen Mirroring is not working - But also for that is an fix available....

EDIT

Only 3 answering 1 question - could be more, isn't it? ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Sydrox:
I've decided to do some apples to apples compression whether this kernel makes a difference in performance.

I was both confused and disappointed by the results:

Rooted - Slim 3.1 - EliteKernel V3:

[IMG="Rooted - Slim 3.1 - EliteKernel V3"]http://i.imgur.com/J9RRXcp.png[/IMG]

Stock 6.0.1 Non-rooted

[IMG="Stock 6.0.1 Non-rooted"]http://i.imgur.com/CYFnaY0.jpg[/IMG]

How is this possible? I was expecting to get at least the same score.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
This is possible because:

SLiMM

is built for battery performance NOT speed

EliteKernel

default setting is also battery performance and balance, NOT speed

The above scores are completely expected and no surprises there...

If you want speed, you have to change the settings in Kernel Adiutor...

As this kernel allows,

overclocking

for speed and

underclocking

for battery performance...

SLiMM + EliteKernel

: (Performance mode, without tweaking voltages etc., plus many 3rd party services in background)

Little suggestion. If you can add in name of thread that is for unlocked bootloader (UB or something).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] nzzane:
Wouldn't think he would need to being

a. Kernel's are only for unlocked bootloaders anyway

b. DRM Fix implying your device is unlocked already :P
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] air32:
i think i unlocked properly, the normal way i did it every time ( downgrade to 4.4.4, flashtool "blu" and sony website for unlock code)

yes i can open the zip without any problems and ive flashed with twrp.

different trys, first slimm rom, then factory reset, then kernel.

ive add a screenshot from my service info menu, its unlocked correct i think.

yes with flashtool, no errors occurred.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
1. Flash Full SLiMM, (Do not use factory reset or any wipes of any kind) reboot into system.

2. Restart, go to TWRP, Factory Reset, use the DRM Restore function zip, (no wipes whatsoever) reboot into system.

3.Restart into TWRP, flash supersu, flash kernel, flash supersu again, reboot into system. (no wipes)

If the above fails, extract boot.img from the EliteKernelV3 zip, and use flashtool, fastboot mode, DooMLoRD, select kernel to flash, find boot.img that you extracted above (you will have to change extension type to *.img in the window)

4. Restart phone, when the phones light is orange, press volume up, enter TWRP ,then reboot into system...

Please report which step number, that a problem occurred?...

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] air32:
First of all thanks for your friendly and helpful support.

in fact i got no fails with the procedure you provided, i did every step from 1 to 3 and got no freeze oder loop.

then i started to arrange my system and i installed xposed framework in twrp, did a restart and the android os optimization process started (where every app gets optimized). at this point i got freeze and restart, 3-4 times everytime its get earlier the device gets hotter. then i turned it off and wait like 10 minutes to cooldown the device. start again and no freeze or loop.

for now its in android os again and no freeze or loop but its not hot for now. really weird, never got such problems when i where on locked bl.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] alenbernardis:
I got the same problem the first time with v3, then I wiped everything and started again and it worked. Try installing one thing at a time, or everything in one twrp session. I don't remember exactly.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
Awesome!!!

Use the SD Maid too, seems to help with new weirdness...

[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] air32:
Awesome is the wrong description maybe :D, lets say its acceptable for now ^^

when its stable in normal usage then i dont have problems with it.

sd maid? hmm normally dont like such programs, you say its useful?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development] Robot76:
(That app just wipes cache of apps instead of having to do it manually one by one, or doing it via TWRP, but does it more carefully in what it clears, and few other normal tasks, nothing weird or even special, and other boring house keeping tasks like looking for duplicate files etc. I often use Sd Maid when I'm lazy to look for the problem [emoji23], don't worry, it's not related to Kingroot or anything, it doesn't pretend to make your phone faster, or give you placebo doubled ram etc. [emoji23] ..)

I honestly believe it's something else, EliteKernel is unlikely to be causing issues, EliteKernel's features are well known, stable and not experimental, it is only adding to, and actually should be giving more balance and stability to the phone, such as using fiops, instead of row.

The settings are only out of this world if you choose to change them using an app like Kernel Adiutor to adjust the defaults...

By using Kernel Adiutor, you may inspect the changes made, the default settings here are quite normal, he did say "unleash the Beast", but that's really only something you can set yourself...

I would look to Xposed or some other thing or settings, as MM is very different to Lollipop...

Some users have reported strange happenings when upgrading to MM and that they seem to clear up after a few boots..., I myself have been ? not to experiance such issues...

ShadowElite has done an awesome excellent job and has already chosen the best of settings, so there was nothing much for me to tweak at all.

The only thing I tweaked was Wake: Doubletap2wake Enabled.

(This alone uses more battery)

And in I/O Scheduler, External Storage, Read-ahead:

For external SD cards with less than 8GB:

Use 128kB read-head value

For 16GB external SD cards:

Use 1024kB read-head value

For 32GB external SD cards:

Use 2048kB read-head value

For 64GB+ external SD cards:

Use 2048kB read-head value

*This is assuming that your card is a quality card.

I owned the full Amplify, but I do not use it anymore, the tweaks it came with are redundant, and have now been rectified.

(Only Amplify nerds who know there stuff are still using it) But for my usage, I find it unnecessary..

I love Greenify, (Man he must be rich)

This is my recent post on my settings for it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=68478478

I am also using 'Ice Box' app that automatically freezes and unfreezes selected apps, I use this for any Facebook company apps (it really is that bad, doesn't follow or comply with any of Androids guidelines and rules) and also Play Store

And I have been playing with this, but I can't make up my mind yet?

Wooh robot thanks for that entire answer. really nice from you that you share your experience with the community.

The read ahead part was already correct for me cause im using 16gb sd card. About amplifiy, im with you that its dont necessary anymore.

Greenify im using also, a fantastic app. Why you dont use shallow hibernation is there something wrong with it?

I agree with the most settings you set expect google sync (i need mails/calendar for myself) and smartlock, when connected to bluetooth its easier to unlock the device for me.

Nova Launcher is my primary launcher too, why dont use stamina mode at 15% or lower?

Robot for the installation of the kernel should be just install the kernel with a recovery or flashtool, and the DRM restoration zip isn't necessary, also if the rom is pre rooted super su zip also shouldn't be flashed, flash this things that isn't necessary can broke something and make the bootloops, also thank you for your support for Z3c users and next version is comming with new stuff and systemless xposed, also full restoration of DRM keys and my personal battery - performance config for all

Supersu multiple times was for "his" unique issue only.
