How to get the cluster plug to work? First post says the init.d file is outdated, the script or changing the file doesnt work either :(
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ivy.lally:
Indeed, even after adding KernelAuditor's custom control as described in the third post:

Where's this functionality? Is it there, or we want too much? ;)

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] 8hodgsonkh:
I tried making the switch but the tick doesn't show up. Using root explorer and editing the file on every boot works :) and it's so fast
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Madnightkid422:
Mobile legends game wasn't lag it now lags after v8 and when revert back to v7 it is the same why is that !! Wasn't lag before i flashed v8 and the gpu freq 200-415 when i make it 415 minimum it's still 200
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] CactusPie:
If it didn't lag with v7 and now it does then it doesn't look like a kernel issue. Maybe try clearing dalvik and dalvik cache?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Madnightkid422:
I did that and cant control gpu freq it always between 200-415 and when playing it drops to 200 the maximum and i am making the maximum 700 i'm using performance friendly cpu control is that normal ?? It was normal before v8 but the gpu freq wasn't reach 700mhz
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] AndyPhoenix9879:
It never reaches 700MHz. It only reaches that frequency on very heavy loaded tasks. As for gaming, It'll reach 650MHz so I doubt it'll lag. Also as CactusPie said, if v7 previously didn't lag and it did now, it's not the kernel's problem.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Madnightkid422:
But that lag apear when i flashed v8 but before it when i was using v7 the gpu didn't reach even 550mhz but when i'm playing there wasn't any lag but now i'm using v8 it lags i reverted back to v7 and still the same !! Nw i'm using v8 and cleared cache and dalvick cache if it not the kernel problem so tell me what i can check to get it fix i cant even control the minimum and maximum of the freq of the gpu it being update but the freq are between 220-435mhz always even i try to change it

I tried to low settings of the game but still there is lag but sometimes it works good during the game
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] AndyPhoenix9879:
This is very very odd indeed. May I know the CPU governor you're using? Also give me a log. Open up the game, play it a bit then send me the logs.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] AndyPhoenix9879:
It's working for me lol, the same exact thing on my phone. Ensure that you didn't miss out anything there, like that " ` " located next to the "key number 1" above the "Q" in your QWERTY keyboard.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] 8hodgsonkh:
Yeah i copied and pasted it straight from here
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] beastfren:
are you sure it's not mobile legend problem?

i also experience some lag on ML after new hero was introduced.

btw im using v3
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Madnightkid422:
Cpu governor intelliactive

When i'm playing it starts very well after sometime it being very laggy and the gpu freq r being 200mhz maximum and minimum and that happens too when i'm using snapchat app camera and whole system lag and very slow for a bit time and being well again after that but the phone didn't even be hot https://ibb.co/b2oBva check this pic of gpu

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] CactusPie:
Man, I want me some winning lottery numbers.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Madnightkid422:
I reverted back to v3 the gpu was in excellent condition but i couldn't turn on the wifi nw i'm using v7 and the problem came back about i cant control the freqs of the gpu i think it is the problem of overclock the gpu cause that's happen from v5 and above
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] AndyPhoenix9879:
I legit have no idea how.

Does this happen in any other game? What you mean the GPU was in excellent condition? It's controllable, no lag etc.. ?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Madnightkid422:
Yup controllable and no any lag with v3

It happens in mortal kombat x, need for speed no limits and every game cause the gpu freq for some time drops to 200mhz with itself and gpu uncontrollable even when not playing like i show you in the pic
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] AndyPhoenix9879:
Ah alright let me see what I can do
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] NickMihal:
works fine in E2303 no problems with recording
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Madnightkid422:
It's the same nothing changed but the freq is controllable nw and the lag is more than before the only way that fix the lag and drop of frames that i flash v3 then v7
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] AndyPhoenix9879:
Idk then, anyone else having this issue?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] armivzla:
Is it normal for none of the processors to go into deep sleep?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Madnightkid422:
So if i wanna be on v3 can u tell me how to fix wifi problem
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] dagger1:
Never checked that, but if it's not supposed to happen, then it's kernel governor fault. Make sure you're using the recommended one, Ironactive.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] AndyPhoenix9879:
Use the search tool in this thread and search wlan.ko

I've left a file somewhere around here lol
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Madnightkid422:
Okay but now i'm using v7 before it i installed v3 then it nw the phone is perfect with games and all but when flash v8 it starts lag when playing i think there is something in v8 try to find it

1- LED Nofication Not fastest

2- Bright Slider Now Work Good

3- I haven't charger with USB FAST Charge ability to test it...

Nice work @):-
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] AndyPhoenix9879:
USB Fast Charge is not on the adapter. It just charges your device faster than it would otherwise be when connected to your PC's USB port for charging.. I used Live Charging app for my testing. Averaged 12 readings from it (based on whether the values changed or not) and the average for USB Fast Charging was 426.6mA and without USB Fast Charging was 218.2mA (Slow even with it on, but it's still damn faster than it would have otherwise been).This is not Qualcomm's Quick Charge or any sort - it's for the USB port charging.

I hope to have one kernel support small core of sony m4 up to 1300mhz

Hi you .kennel v1.0.5 works very well on sony e2312's m4 me.I want you can create a better kennel overclocked cpu support to accelerate small core of sony m4. I think it will achieve much better performance:)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] AndyPhoenix9879:
That is something I'm still figuring out how to do. I did tried overclocking, it just doesn't work yet :/ (the overclock frequencies ain't showing)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] sykeo99:
I wish it will be overclocking in the official kennel. you will soon do this. good luck

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] TheVektor:
Hi!

Good news, that we still have a good developer for this phone.

Since i have a Huawei P9, my M4 Aqua is abandoned. Im interested in SBCs (Single Board Computer) and our phone's specifications are enough to run a custom kernel for similar things that we can do with those little computers. (Compare: Pine a64 +2gb has 2GB DDR3 Memory and 1.2 Ghz Quad-Core ARM Cortex A53 64-Bit Processor). I want to use this phone like those SBCs, but everytime i try to build a kernel it fails with errors.

Can you write a little tutorial how we can build a working kernel by using your github sources? I think im not the only one who has this problem, but want to learn kernel programming things. This community needs a professional developer like you, who leads us to a new level.

Thank you and sorry for my bad english! :)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] dani020110:
If you want to have help about this phone, pm me and/or [MENTION=5689354]AndyPhoenix9879[/MENTION]

I'm sure we will glad to help you
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] AndyPhoenix9879:
I PM'd him already though, still waiting for what's his errors.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] TheVektor:
Thanks for the answers. The PM is already there. :) (Btw. i just need a working tutorial step by step how to compile a working kernel.)

Hi [MENTION=5689354]AndyPhoenix9879[/MENTION],

Thank you so much for the kernel.

Will this kernel also be made for E2363?

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ivy.lally:
Hi, would you consider incorporating EAS into your kernel?

In typical Xperia phone it'd be exceptionally sensible as Xperia phones usually have slim battery.

Testing (Installation Succeed) with E2312 MM 6.0.1 Build 26.3.B.33

Finally managed to flashed PexoRom 2.1...During the flashing process, the phone was very hot as it starts to upgrade approx 216 applications.. whole process was approximately 30mins..So far camera works, wifi ok, adoptive storage ok, continuing to test. Will update if any problem encountered....

IMPORTANT: Please flash latest SkyMelon kernel using TWRP right after flashing PexoRom..
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] AndyPhoenix9879:
Thank you! I'll look into it

Can you test gaming performance?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] faizulrahim:
Sure..Dream League Soccer 2017 good performance only lagging on replay.

NOVA legacy fps fluid movement no lag at all.

Mind you - all of them are running from adopted storage..initial loading slow. Once loaded performance is good..

The only lagging thing is screen mirroring..it takes approx 1second or so for screen changes on the mobile to reflected onto my Panasonic Viera Smart TV - neglible still compared to stock rooted rim where screen mirroring don't work at all

Hi guys, i need some help with the wlan.ko module! I just flashed the v8 of this kernel, but i can't understand how to put the wlan.ko in the /system/lib/modules/ folder. I'll explain: i use a file manager to copy and paste the wlan.ko inside the root folder you have specified, but i always get an error message and i can't put it inside the folder.

Is there another way to access the root folder from pc? I can't figure it out on my own.

Anyway, what does it mean to give permission to rw r r?

Please be kind, i'm a newbie :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] AndyPhoenix9879:
If you've installed Melon 8 then you don't have to put wlan.ko to the folder location... I've already done it for you.. lol.

The wlan.ko is to get wifi working. Also you should've knew it's been done for you if you read what's being written in TWRP when installing the kernel.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Bisiac:
sorry i forgot to mention that i didn't install with twrp but with flashtool. And as it is my wifi doesn't turn on
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] AndyPhoenix9879:
What's the error you're getting? The one in your file explorer?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ivy.lally:
There's still mistake, SPACE is needed after '[' (and also before ']' but there is) in:

if [<SPACE_NEEDED>"`cat /sys/module/cluster_plug/parameters/active`" == "0" ]; then

after adding space it works now ;)

Hello, I know it's a stupid question, but can I use this kernel with lollipop stock rom??

Thanks for this great kernel.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] valyo_bg:
No, it's for MM only.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] mathew38:
I have same problem. I'm using governors Ironactive in v8 and processors never goes to deep sleep. Min. frequency was set to 998Mhz and cannot be changed. In this case my battery drains very Fast (about 10%/hour when the screen is off)

Any ideas?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] valyo_bg:
I also use governor ironactive, but my cores goes to sleep state without any problem. If you have some app at the background that prevent CPU from sleeping? From 23:00 to 7:00 my battery loose only 2-3%. Even now my battery have 50%. My phone is E2363 with kernel version 8a, but same was with version 8.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] armivzla:
Can you place the link to the 8a? Sorry for the inconvenience, regards
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] babydown:
I'm on Pexo ROM v2.1. After flashed kernel, my phone can't detect SD Card (64Gb exFat) :(. It said "Corrupted Samsung SD Card", I tried format SD Card on phone but still can't use. How can I fix it.

On stock kernel, SD Card can use normal.

Sorry for my bad English !!!
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] valyo_bg:
[MENTION=5689354]AndyPhoenix9879[/MENTION] will post new release of kernel 8 when is ready. I use 8a for testing purpoces, it's stable from my point of view and work good with ironactive kernel governor.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Anurag009:
Hey where can I download tedt builds???
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Alexir1:
It's 3 alternatives:

1. Flash stock kernel.

2. Ask AndyPhoenix9879 to insert exfat support to new kernel release and wait for it.

3. Backup sd card data and format it in cardreader as fat32 filesystem.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] AndyPhoenix9879:
Honestly though, I don't know why suddenly exFAT is not supported when I barely even removed it from the stock kernel...
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Anurag009:
Hey brother [MENTION=5689354]AndyPhoenix9879[/MENTION] please would u consider adding kernel gesture in next version please.and please can I know where can I download test builds??

Thnks.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] AndyPhoenix9879:
I give the test builds selectively - so only a few have it. Besides, that test build is kinda outdated already lol. As for the kernel gesture - no, because I find it difficult to implement properly (and I don't think we really need it lol)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Anurag009:
So please can't u give me test builds??
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] AndyPhoenix9879:
Okay, the next one (and I guess I need someone to test exFat too soon).
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Anurag009:
Ok thanks
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ivy.lally:
What do you mean by kernel gestures, is it e.g. waking screen by double tap? Veeery needed feature!

boot loop :( after a min installing the kernel :( the phone will freeze then reboot then after that the phone will be unable to boot properly
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] AndyPhoenix9879:
That shouldn't be happening. What did you do before installing the kernel? I need more info. A logcat would help even more (if possible)

Check the second post

This is very bad, but try to flash MM, before this wipe data, system and everything that you can wipe via Flashtool. After flashing is done start your phone and if it's on boot loop with Sony animation power off phone holding button near to sdcard slot with something tiny till phone vibrates several time. Then try again with pressing first volume up, down together and then power button and hold for 10-15 seconds. Then start your phone and wait if after 20-30 will not normally. I has same behaviour and repair my phone using this instruction. Very important thing is right pressing of 3 buttons - you can read over internet about using of them to reset phone.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] xperia user01:
Thanks for helping me can you give me the adb commands to wipe the system data and everything i can't find anything in google without getting confused. thanks again!
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] valyo_bg:
Just use Flashtool for installing of MM, before flashing there is a options what to wipe - wipe everything.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] xperia user01:
i've already done that
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] valyo_bg:
Do it with MM flashing and carefully repeat procedure with pressing of 3 buttons afterwards.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] xperia user01:
Bad news didn't work i've tried everything :(

---------- Post added at 08:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 AM ----------

UPDATE: it worked!!!! THANKS OMGGG THANK YOU SO MUCH :)

edit: it worked for a min and reboot and bootlooped
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] valyo_bg:
I think the problems is with file system, so find over internet how to wipe and format completely all partitions inside phone, then try again to re-flash with MM and apply combination with 3 buttons. If you don't have problem with hardware then you should be able to repair your phone.

Other idea - install TWRP via ADB and try to wipe and format everything from TWRP. There is good instruction here in the forum with topic for rooting of M4 how to install TWRP. So download and install TWRP and kernel, then wipe everything and your phone should be fixed.

Also try to remove SIM card and SD card in case that they are faulty and prevent phone from proper booting.

Good luck :) .

Update:

Ok, I'm glad that everything is working now :) .

Anyone experiencing worse battery life with skymelon 8? I have been using it for a week and a half now, and I get consistently one hour less screen on time.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] valyo_bg:
No, my battery work fine with v.8 of kernel.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] xperia user01:
the phone went back to boot loop after i used the wifi :(
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] valyo_bg:
Which kernel you use and which Android? Just disable WiFi and try again. If you cannot leave bootloop again just repeat procedure with 3 buttons, then phone will start normally.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] xperia user01:
stock kernel stock 6.0.1 rom the latest one the 3 key doesn't seem to work anymore should i reflash it again and do the 3 button step?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] valyo_bg:
Yes, try again, but if you use stock ROM and stock kernel and phone goes to bootloop when you start WiFi, then maybe you have hardware problem with WiFi card. So try to not use it for a while to see how will work your phone.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] AndyPhoenix9879:
How did you install the kernel...

Were you running any custom tweaks prior to using this kernel? Thanks [MENTION=6829223]valyo_bg[/MENTION] for the helping :highfive:
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Thedalamsyh:
working great with stock mm, still figuring out ways to improve battery. currently my settings are ondemand governor with powersave_bias to 1, and cluster plug active. I use this device mainly for chat, surf and calls. the only thing that is bothering me is sometimes the cpu temp jumps when I only use it to open Line for a while.

anyway if there's someone who have any other trick/tweak, I'm open for suggestion :laugh:

and thanks dev I really appreciate your work.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] AndyPhoenix9879:
Revert back to Stock ROM and tell me whether wifi works after dat. Backup first of course.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] AndyPhoenix9879:
Then I guess there's the trade-off between my kernel and pexo rom. So either you use stock rom with my kernel or stock kernel with pexo rom - I don't know why it doesn't work for you though.. others seem to run it fine
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] xperia user01:
After testing the phone the phone seems to be so sensitive at warm temp. Hmm. I tried using the phone in an air conditioned area and it worked everything works! But when the phone is warmed but not hot it reboots and bootloop i think something wrong with cpu temp something something? Any clues pls

It seemed 8a drains battery more than 8.

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] kamilkos16:
It's draining my battery even when the phone is locked. After 4 hours it took 35%...
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ivy.lally:
Are you sure you take care of wakelocks, because it looks like something else than kernel matter.

What I can see is Ampere readings in real time and on average it looks like in this kernel v8a drain is of ™100mA bigger than in v8

Aqua-M4 E2303, modded MarshMallow, SkyMelon kernel
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] AndyPhoenix9879:
Have you tried a reboot?

Wakelocks are kernel matters lol. And not really I just included the ability to interact with it (on/off).

As for the battery - my philosophy in this kernel is kinda more of a performance first and battery second kinda thing. I got 3hrs SOT with gaming so that's something lol. Inclusion of EAS was very intriguing but I lack the skills and knowledge for it to be ported to our device :silly: (and idk where and how I could get the energy model for this chipset which is necessary for EAS to work :confused: )
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] kamilkos16:
Yes, and Ampere app shows -600, -700 mA
