I would try to start from the scratch. This Means flash Stock .253 via Flashtool. Then TWRP, then the Rom with Wipe.

Maybe the Base u are coming from is .305?

@_LLJY My Display Brightness is little bit buggy. Sometimes after Wakeup the Device the Brightness is very low, solution is: Display off -> on. Then its okay. Also sometimes the Brightness is normal after wakeup, go up to very Bright for about 1 second and then it goes to normal again. Any idea?

This profile... Would you be sharing it with the community? I'd love to offer it in my aosp rom as well (with credits of course)

---------- Post added at 05:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 AM ----------

If you're using Xposed you can just use advanced power menu (apm +)

The tap to wake and sleep are kernel options so... You'll need to ask Zach

---------- Post added at 05:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 AM ----------

Also, I'm getting a good idle drop of around 1.5 to 2% but a really poor active usage (22.86%)

Is that normal?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] GeramanX:
Copy/paste for the Tap to Wake:
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] _LLJY:
1. Sure go ahead, use it

2. I'm not too sure about active usage, for me it's super good, maybe it's some app that you use(Facebook is a notorious one) that drains alot of battery.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] teddan:
Im geting great standby also on 4G but it drains quickly when using youtube, internet (screen on time) the screen drains about 20% per hour.... (same for me when using romx).

Did also have some reboots when i was on bluetooth in my car using the kernel that is stock on slimx but after flashing Zach's 305 corona 1.9.12.5.2 that issue went away..

Any recommendations to change anything in kernel adiutor?

(Touch boost, cpu boost is off) also using interactive (was alucard default)..

Clean install coming from romx (erasing system internal and so on)

Sure you can use it. I would love to get some more feedback on it if possible

You can find Xenon v1 on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z5/themes-apps/mod-z5-endurance-tweaks-v1-tweaks-t3321841

However, I will release an updatet version of the profile soon,

which will be more optimized for battery life, and still minimal loss of performance.

Probably by the end of this week, in the same thread I linked above.

I will make a post here in this thread too once i've fully updatet it and its added to that thread.

If I were you I would wait for v2 of the profile, before adding it to your ROM.

Also dont forget to say thanks to me and to [MENTION=6791680]_LLJY[/MENTION] because we have tested alot to make this profile as much optimized for our Z5 as we can :p

the rom was working perfectly, but since today my phone won't display my notification, and if i click on the right nav button nothing happens , what can i do ?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Finally had the time to do some normal usage with my phone. 3hrs screen on time and 57% left.

So I think this is nice. I estimate that 6-8hours of SOT should be possible depending on usage.

I listened for about an hour to music with screen mostly off so take this in consideration.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] islanders:
this is so weird i Cant pull down notification bar and i can't use the right nav button

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] teddan:
I have huge screen drain copare to you.

My screen drains more in 30 min than yours do in 3 hours...

I have no clue why....
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Well.. We're trying to optimize the CPU governor for you, but what we can't do for you is optimize your phone itself.

Your active usage also greatly depends on how well you optimize your phone.

For example if you have alot of huge battery draining apps running in the background (like Facebook) this will have a huge negative effect on your active usage. Also watching YouTube and things like that will give you more drain.

I'm not saying you should stop doing these things, but you have to take them in consideration when looking at active usage.

Another big factor is screen brightness, I have mine usually set between 0-30%. Only when I'm outside I sometimes turn it above 50% but at home I usually keep it at 0 or around 25%. So this is another thing to keep in consideration.

I hope this information helps a little, you probably already knew this.. But some people might not, so there you go:silly:
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] teddan:
Hi.

I have no app drains, phone is sleeping like a baby when not in use (also on 4g very lite idle drains).

Using greenify, did also use naptime but uninstalled it cause with this rom it wad no need.

I usaly have 50% screen brightness (brightness id set on auto)...

App that drains the screen in my case is browsing and YouTube....

Just flashed 1.5 without xposed, maybe xposed causes the drains?

Im really confused.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
I'm not sure if xposed drains more (@_LLJY said yes to me before).

But the way I see it is that xposed gives you more possibilities to improve idle and active drain so I would say using xposed should be fine, but opinions on this may differ, which is fine.

Your screenshot doesn't look too bad though 10% drain with 35 mins SOT? How long was the phone. In use in total? I wouldn't say that result is bad at all.

But yeah as I mentioned before, watching YouTube will give some more extra drain. Gaming even more.

This is something you can hardly fight and at some point you'll have to accept your battery drain.

Aslong as you optimized your phone, all you can do is look at. your app usage and how much they drain your battery ;)

To clean flash do I have to go Wipe, Advanced Wipe or Format Data?

Also, there should be no problem in case something went wrong because I already have a backup right?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] _LLJY:
Should be a little more
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] sirdoha:
So it's OK?

Btw, my thanks per day has limited so can't press the thanks button :silly:
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
It should be a little more.

But here's the thing...

SOT can vary widely from day to day.

Right now my battery is at 30% and I have 5hrs SOT,

But even I sometimes have like 2-3hrs of SOT in a full battery cycle.

It varies because of many factors like, connection, usage, how well you optimize your phone... and probably many more things I forget to mention right now.

My point is that you should not judge your battery life by looking at your SOT 1 time after 1 battery cycle. And don't start flashing new roms or clean flashing again and again right after seeing 1 time a bad result.

Give it some time too ;)

But overall your screenshot looks pretty good to me. Just should be a little higher, but maybe next battery cycle, your usage may be different and who knows you might see a better result... or worse.

This is why I say, also give it some time ;)

Dont worry about the thanks... its okay bro :p
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
I have been testing the changes we've made to the Xenon interactive governor profile and it seems promising.

I don't want to make anyone jealous, I hope all of you will see similar results like this:fingers-crossed:

The new profile will be released tomorrow, but I think for SlimX users (and possibly RomX)@_LLJY will have to make an update for the profile to work correctly ;)

Here's a little taste of what is (possible)

I say possible because results may vary depending on your usage, network connection, phone optimization etc...
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] TonskuDaigle:
My logic tells me 35 mins with 10% + BT+4G... Not too bad really.

I mean that's a close to 6h SOT predicted. Wouldn't call it a drain really myself :)

Hello to everybody, one simple question that maybe can help other people: you write int he beginning that inside package of this rom you got kernel inside (i suppose flashing it you are also flashing the kernel included) so i got 3.10.84-v31 androplus #175 kernel on a Xpower v3.0 Rom, and of course rooted and unlocked bootloader, can I ask if I flash this rom from TWRP, it will work or i will got a bootloop ?

Thanks a lot in advance
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Yes, there is a kernel included in this ROM.

And yes you can flash this ROM.

Just make sure you are on 253 firmware base.

If you are on 305 firmware and you want to use this ROM >>> you HAVE to flash a clean. 253 firmware via flashtool first.

Since you come from a different ROM, you should also choose wipe data partition in the aroma installer that will open once you flash this ROM.

Just to be sure, before you decide to do anything... Definitely run a twrp backup from boot / system and data partition, and save it to your external SD if you have any. Just so you can always recover in case something goes wrong.

If you follow these instructions closely, nothing should go wrong, but you never know :)

Ok very thanks, and sorry I did a mistake because I suppose did not send last messange and so i quoted again averybody, by the way I am not with that kernel based, it was that question, infact, the main problem is to flash again old kernel, can you give me the .253 kernel ? and so the main problem is when i flash this new .256 the twrp will not be ready and this means to to again all the stuff to root phone :/ ?

Thanks for your answere, but before this, someone say that i have to flash original stock 256 because right now i am on MM with this kernel that i got already inside, so if you say that is no need to flash back the 256 i will try (after backup) to use directly this clean flash. Thanks
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
You only need to flash stock 253 firmware via flashtool, if you are on a 305 firmware based rom.

If you are already on a 253 firmware based ROM, then there is no need to flash stock 253 firmware.

And in that case you can proceed with clean flashing this ROM.

I hope this answers your question?:silly:

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
No you can dirty flash it ( choose don't wipe data partition) in the installer.

So you dont lose your data.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] kaciek:
Thank you for your answer. I am waiting for the new version :)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] CryptoManiac7:
Wow, I will be waiting in anticipation for v1.6.

This is my first time to flash a custom rom on my Xperia Z5 which I recently received and I have some questions...

Do I really need to make a backup of my TA partition before flashing this rom? I read on some other threads that if I don't make backup of this I will lose DRM which will disable some features?

I am currently on stock .305 firmware and I understand that I have to use FlashTool to flash stock .253 first before flashing the rom. It is also my understanding that this rom brings TWRP with it. So I can just use FlashTool to flash this rom for the first time so I don't have to install custom recovery first?

Sorry for all the questions but as I said I'm a complete n00b with this Z5.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
I don't know much about about TA partition and drm, but if you stil have the chance you should definitely make a backup of TA partition using flashtool.

I believe there is a drm fix included in this ROM that would restore most functions, but I'm not 100% sure so if you have the chance you should make a backup from TA partition before unlocking the bootloader.

Unlocking your bootloader is the next step.

Then you need to flash stock 253 firmware.

Next step is you need to install a custom like androplus kernel or Sunkernel and then you have to flash the twrp recovery that is suited for your Z5 model in fastboot.

After that, you can flash this ROM in twrp recovery by flashing the ROM flashable zip (assuming you flashed stock 253 firmware)

I could have a look if I can find the link to the guide with instructions that I always used to follow doing these steps.

I can imagine if my instructions are too vague, if this is your first time messing with a Sony Xperia Z5 :p

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] CryptoManiac7:
Thank you very much for your instructions and sharing the link. After having read your reply I now feel more confident to proceed with flashing this rom. Since v1.6 will be coming out today I will just wait for it. In the meantime will just prepare everything else that is required for the process.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
Your welcome.

Flashing this ROM will be a piece of cake.

The process to get your phone prepared might be a little complicated the first time.

The link I shared you should help alot.

Good luck and let me know if you run into a problem ;)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] kaciek:
Click KA-MOD I get the message "application settings has been stopped," Is that supposed to be?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
You need to install kernel adiutor from the Google playstore. That should fix it ;)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] CryptoManiac7:
Is the V1.6 coming still with kernel .253? I can't seem to be able to find stock kernel .253 for my Z5 Dual E6633. I can only find .185 and .305 for this phone.

If anyone else knows where I can get stock .235 for E6633 please reply with a link. Thank you.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
I think you mean stock .253 firmware instead of kernel right?

I've had a look in flashtool but there are indeed mostly .305 firmwares,

and some others... for your model, but no .253 :rolleyes:

I have a different different model (6653).

So I don't know where you could find .253 for yours.

I would search google for it.

Hopefully someone else here might know where to find it :)
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] CryptoManiac7:
Yes you are right, I meant .253 firmware. Apologies for the misinformation. I have searched all over for it and even though there are some leads I am yet to find an actual file for .253 firmware on Z5 E6633. I hope that someone else will be able to point out...

I am afraid without this I will not be able to proceed with flashing this nice SlimX Rom on my device. Apart from the requirement to clean flash stock firmware before clean flashing the rom, I also need the kernel from the stock firmware so that I can repack it as per this thread: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z5/development/root-automatic-repack-stock-kernel-dm-t3301605

It seems that Androkernel doesn't support dual sim at the moment. I'm not sure if Sunkernel supports it, I am now reading the thread of "Zach's Kernel Playground for Z5". But I think I will stick to the plan of rooting and repacking stock kernel. Has anybody else on this rom managed to do that?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] EDGN:
1.6 seems to be delayed :( Im so looking forward to the New Xenon profile
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] kaciek:
Working!!! Thanks! Greate job
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] koekoek91:
To gain the best results with this ROM I would use sunkernel.

Sunkernel is also the kernel that is included in this ROM, but I think for dual sim users there was a workaround needed to get things working. Sorry but I don't know full details about this because I'm using a single sim model. So you should search or ask for info on this.

Most important for you I think right now is to find 253 firmware for your device and then you should find out if your model is supported by sunkernel.

So that you could flash sunkernel,

then flash twrp recovery and once you have twrp.. Flash the ROM and enjoy:laugh:

But just wait for someone else that has your e6633 model to help you out some more, because I don't know if the full process to get this ROM is very different from my model or not :silly:
