It's working perfectly. DRM injection is working properly too. You have done a really really great work with this kernel.

Using eXistenZ 4.7.0 without any problem for three hours with elementalx governor and the new hotplug, no battery drain at all.

Awesome!

I can't set gpu clock to stock freq, sometime kernel change gpu frequency to max ie 657mhz!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ShadowElite:
What app are you using for change the freq?

Also I tested it and I can change the max and min GPU and CPU freqs
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] chawlasrijan:
Hello, can you kindly explain the breathing led notification function & how to use it

Thank You :)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] itsnie:
Kernel auditor, kernel auditor mod, init.d script, kernel tunner etc etc ..

I think that's kernel problem not app!

Yes, change min max gpu freq isn't the problem, but after change max freq to example 578mhz, then after some minute of heavy usage the gpu freq change automatic to 657mhz!

Ah my engelish arn't good, so hope you understand the problem
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] freaky2xd:

I was on existenz rom 5.6.5 marchmallow D6503 and I decided to unlock my bootloader. I successfully unlocked the bootloader using the flash-tool. I then downloaded the elite kernal zip file and flashed it via recovery. I couldn't turn on my phone after that so now I flashed the stock firmware. I now have root and restored existez rom.I don't know where I went wrong that I almost bricked my phone.

Let's just take a chill pill here guys... Developers are human beings, and human beings have the right to take a break. There are no needs for any explanations of why developers need breaks; it is common sense (for most). Works that have not been updated for a while does not mean it is discontinued, hence the reason why this thread is still open. If will be discontinued when the developer says so; if not the case, then treat it as very long break.

Thread cleaned.

I'm trying to flash this kernel, but even when I have unlocked bootloader i still get error: FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error)). I suppose I need to enable OEM Unlock option, but it's missing (?) from my Developer Options.

Would flash through Recovery, but I can get to bootloader screen (SONY w/o XPERIA), but it doesn't boot TWRP from recovery partition, just OS like normal boot...

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Got this device 5-6 hours ago.

Bootloader is unlocked, have 23.5.A.1.291 brand France and TWRP 3.0.2-0 (official), but unaccessible).
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] filjusz:

I renamed boot_Z2.img to boot.img and there was no problem with flashing.

I know I shouldn't ask here, but is there other method to force power off the device than OFF button? This device is not new and seems to be missing this button (if that's red button which seems should be near sim slot) and I got stuck on kernel logo after I took of sdcard when booting to TWRP...

No adb or fastboot access to reboot...

Power + VOL+ worked... I don;t know why i was trying Vol-?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
AFAIK, Vol+ is to launch the /recovery under /boot and Vol- is to launch the /recovery under /system.

Bro.

Download kernel auditor app.

Set the governor to performance.

Underclock your device. Over clock it.

Change cpu frequency. Change Your parameters.

All i want to say is change search google what you don't understand in the app and use it in you own way. Just asking for settings won't help you to learn brother.

And that's the answer to your question here.

Peace.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
In addition to [MENTION=4865506]Bewildered Wolf[/MENTION] say, please make sure you know what you are doing before tapping the buttons and changing the values here or there in Kernel Auditor. Because the change is permanent (as long as the app is installed), if you have made something out of the hardware limit this can be fatal.

As always, please search Google for the action you are going to perform if you feel unsure about it.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] 2muchpain:
Most of the values resets after reboot if "Apply on boot" is not checked, don't they? By your if I deinstall Kernel Aduitor I reset the settings to their default?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] iXaidyiu:
Without a reboot, even uninstallation wont change the values.

"Apply on boot" is there, you are right, but by means of "fatal" is instant. Once certain critical tunable is changed to an out-of-boundary value, the consequence can be permanent. Even disabling "Apply on Boot" cannot resurrect you.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Fr@ndroid:
No, I do not restore the drm keys, I just extracted the boot image from the zip file and flash via fastboot by flashtool .... so I wonder how it is possible that my boot loader was closed after flashing this kernel .... how is that possible? My head made smoke !!!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ch3mn3y:
It would be probably better if dev would confirm it, but I think it's kernel's feature to fake locked bootloader for apps that look for it.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Fr@ndroid:

As I assumed, flashtool detects that my bootloader is unlocked ... it only gives me the option to re-block the bootloader as in the attached image .. but looking for the service menu when dialing *#*#7378423#*#* It appears to me as if the bootloader is locked:confused:
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ch3mn3y:
[MENTION=6746436]Fr@ndroid[/MENTION]

Coz it seems that kernel has feature to fake bootloader status, but it's only for software (that's why it's "locked" in Service Menu), not hardware (which is checked by Flashtool).

That way apps doesn't have problems with unlocked bootloader (as they thought it's locked), but user has possibility of the custom kernel :)

Not sure if newer versions of DRMfix do this. It's similar (but not as advanced) thing as PoC...

Help, Bricked after flashed over eXistenZ Marshmallow v5.6.5

Hi!

Well, I would like to ask for help, after using eXistenZ Marshmallow v5.6.5 for a month without trouble, I wanted to try this kernel, I then downloaded the Z2 V3 version of the kernel, and then I booted in TWRP v3.0.2 and flashed the zip over Existenz. I didn't wipe since I didn't read any advice and I suppose that not need wipe for kernel only flash.

Then I set TWRP to reboot, my Z2 turn off but no reboot, so I try pushing the power on button and only made ONE little vibration and not turn on any led and not turn on at all, I then try the red button (first for 10 seconds and nothing vibrates, then for 30 seconds and nothing), so, I then try to connect to a wall charger and only a red led blinks is all that I have on my z2.

May be some help, since by now, I already looking and tried every method including push POWER+VolUP Buttons for 10 seconds and later for 30 seconds without luck. The phone at the time of the flash was on 68% battery, son I may guess that is not really discharged battery since other posts comments... :(

If any help I would be really gratefull... best regards
