Yes you are right, those are what I meant.

Thank you very much!

I wish you a fast recovery, and take your time!
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] LSS4181:
Flashed the latest (24th one). Works good so far.

Minor issues on eXistenZ 4.0:

- After flashing the kernel (updating from previous kernel also counts), the system would bootloop for the first time, then boots normally onwards (maybe caused by some other stuffs that I need to reflash, such as disable forceencrypt script and optionally including Magisk).

- "adb reboot recovery" would reboot to system instead (not sure if this also applies to stock).

- Lockscreen still lags if selinux enforcing, but much shorter (now only around 1s which might be negligible).
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] LazerL0rd:
Thanks, I'll try add it in soon. Shouldn't be that hard since TWRP can do it too.

What firmware is eXis... 4.0 based on? And I don't see how my kernel causes adb reboot to fail, that's interesting.

SELinux enforcing lags need to be solved by the ROM dev.

Finally, couldn't boot my kernel on latest "Customized AU (.8.24 firmware)", but I wonder if a second reboot would work like you. I guessed there was lots of changes source isn't released yet but I'll give it a go and see.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] LSS4181:
eXistenZ 4.0 is based on the .6.30 firmware (which now most regions are on). There's a newly released 4.5 package on the channel which targets the .8.24 firmware (which is available for a select amount of regions).

However, according to the channel (quoted from iovf), "8.24 changed rule,some old kernel be bootloop", implying the current kernels might not be bootable without changes (may consider building a selinux permissive kernel to see if it makes a difference).

On eXistenZ 4.0 (.6.30) the bootloop only occurs during the first boot-up after flashing, and will work fine after that.

As for the selinux enforcing lags, I've already posted the logcat excerpt on eXistenZ thread. From what I could find out, the lag is probably caused by selinux blocking some properties that SystemUI needs to alter, causing SystemUI to crash repeatedly then killed by the system and restarted. (off-topic)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] LazerL0rd:
Thanks, so .8.24 changed quite a bit.

EDIT: So I tried explaining something about version numbers, but it's not exactly correct since that applies to the whole firmware and not only the kernel.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] mk4y5en:
I guess we have to wait for a new release for the .8.24 firmware right?

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] j4nn:
[MENTION=7836278]LazerL0rd[/MENTION], you might check the patch in my post here to build a kernel that runs with pie 8.24 firmware.

The reason of incompatibility are multiple changes in kernel's internal structures, like struct mm_struct and struct task_struct.

And note please, that "big version number jump" in fw seems not to always indicate big changes in kernel: 47.2.A.4.45 (and 4.41) kernels are both nearly identical to kernel from 47.2.A.6.30 fw - there was no change except a comment removal...
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] LazerL0rd:
Ah, yes. It's correct what you said tbh. I exaggerated that a bit cause I wasn't sure how to explain. Thanks for your patch tho I'll give it a try.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] LSS4181:
This kernel mainly targets G8141. On G8142 SIM2 will not work, but from what I tested, SD card can work on G8142. It was mentioned in a few posts before.

To avoid confusion it's better to put this on OP, that the kernel targets G8141 and SIM2 won't work (for now).

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] LazerL0rd:
You reminded me of something I forgot to add. Since this kernel bypasses bootloader unlock checks thanks to j4nn you need to flash Magisk or a Dm-verity remover after my kernel every time you flash it.

If you restore your TA backup too all DRM functionality returns.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] JosephDM:
How to backup TA?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] LazerL0rd:
I don't actually know for this device I thought DirtyCow would work from an old XZP firmware.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] j4nn:
I am not sure about that - I guess DirtyCow exploit has never been implemented for XZp (either there has not been a fw with vulnerable for that cve or nobody tailored the exploit for it).

In any case, if you did not unlock XZp yet, you may use my inotify/rename exploit (renoroot tools) to backup TA of XZ Premium (single or dual sim) when flashed supported oreo fw version.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] LazerL0rd:
I heard about renoroot, yeah.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] LSS4181:
Say is this still bootable on 6.30? As of the latest (20190323) version it's stuck on the Xperia logo.

I did flash the disable forceencrypt (as well as some others like dm-verity) right after flashing it.

I'm still on 6.30 because 8.24 for the region I'm intending to flash (CN) isn't coming anytime soon (It's already more than a month and I just hope the release for that region isn't going to be skipped like 4.41 last time). After all, I prefer using a base without GApps (will use MagicGApps instead) for this as well as eXistenZ...

EDIT: Guess I can forget about 8.24 for the intended region (CN) this time now that 10.28 is out for a select few other regions...
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] LazerL0rd:
Nope, you can flash any region btw. Well you can try a few. AU works for my UK SIM too.

I'll try make some extra versions later.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] LSS4181:
I know I can flash any region... it's just that for now I know CN region doesn't have GApps preinstalled (stock-level GApps are way too bloated, like Chrome and some other unwanted Google apps that I already have my favorite FOSS alternatives on F-Droid). I'm not certain about other regions. If there are other regions that also come without GApps preinstalled (and releases faster) I'd gladly use that.

It's just that I want to be in control of what I need with GApps. On my current 6.30 (Customized CN, with OEM partition debloated from recovery), I use MagicGApps coupled with OpenGApps pico to get Play Store access and nothing else (since it doesn't have GApps built-in, I can flash MagicGApps without worrying about possible conflicts).

Sincerely, if Wear OS functionality is supported on microG I'll ditch GApps entirely. It's now the only reason why I still have to use GApps. Unfortunately, this isn't going to happen anytime soon.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] LazerL0rd:
I understand, I would use microG if bugs squashed too. But yeah, I'll try build you another version once I've squashed EAS bugs.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] peter.schwake@gmail.com:
the zip works fine in my opinion, when the phone stucks on the Sony Logo it's an indicator for a Dm-verity problem (or with an other 'security feature').

Every one who is faced with that issue should try to flash dm-verity remover and then write here if it is working or not.

Or he/she post a logcat.

Without these informations it is really difficult to find out what is the problem.

Latest kernel is a beast!! I have 7.5 hrs SOT, 18% battery left to go (should have 9hrs SOT at 1% left roughly).

1.5 - 2 hrs reading ebooks, the rest on the web/telegram/youtube.

17hrs off charge, Wifi or mobile data on all day, location too.

Includes flashing around 10 different boot animations too (powering off and on can chew some power).

Does this kernel works on android 8.0.0 16.20?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] HoiFung:
DualSim work here very well.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] LazerL0rd:
I’m going to clarify a few things from latest update:

1) If you were decrypted before flashing/flashed this over a clean data then you’re going to have TWRP not working for you at all (official TWRP, if using another you may be able to get into it but /data WILL NOT decrypt). This is due to me moving to FBE ICE for faster boot times, and I’ll release my own TWRP within due time.

2) Ignore the triple debug logs you see when flashing, this isn’t a bug and is just how the new installer works.

3) I’ll add F2FS soon but encryption will be slightly slower on it. I’ve spoken to arter97 and my efforts in backporting ICE F2FS FBE down is gonna be too much of a mess that the f2fs maintainer said to leave it.

4) 120Hz is added but NOT enabled by default, if you want to you’ll need to switch fb0 modes and restart surfaceflinger (which I’m not sure how to stable-y do). If you’re gonna ask me “why no default” look at my kernel repo and you’ll see there’s a bug where you only get avg. 10FPS if I boot with 120fps. I’m working on it. 4K support has always been there but I’m warey that the Sony HAL will go back to 60fps if I don’t replace 60 fps itself. If they do I reaaallly hope it won’t apply to my 120fps change and only 4K. I’m just hoping it obeys the default panel method.

5) I’ve had 4 hours of kernel building issues yesterday involving restarting my server. It will take time to get 120Hz working but on my list next is CFQ backports including Q changes, arter97’s f2fs changes and EAS with a custom energy model/config (EM) I’ll calculate.

I’d like a question of what display modes you’d like if I can find a way to make a dynamic switch, I’m thinking of:

1080p60 (stock)

1080p90

1080p120 (sodp addition)

1080p144 (Sjill tested)

1440p60

1440p90 (going higher bypasses clock limit for device)

4K30 (should i add this mode? i don’t know if it’ll be useful or not)

4K60 (stock)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] LazerL0rd:
No (says in the title “Pie”)

I am try-ing but either Oreo kernel was more simple or something else. 120fps isn’t working well but it did for Sjill, and the last two times I upstreamed I couldn’t boot, and EAS isn’t booting for me too.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] mads339:
Thanks for doing all this :)

Couple of things:

In the newest update you mention encryption would need custom twrp, what if I am unencrypted and use disable forceencrypt after kernel flash?

To clarify the FDE/FBE, you are changing the default to ICE FBE for EXT4 but the coming F2FS support will retain FDE, as the FBE backport would be too much?

For resolutions:

All 1080's for choice between high performance and (hopefully) better battery.

4k60 for the beautifully crisp display.

If 4k30 would increase battery life with static content (book reading) then a vote there as well.

A question, is it possible to add something to lower minimum brightness? Had it on my old N5 (FK) and it was amazing for reading in the dark.

Lastly, I am running zest + uni dm verity and fec disabler + magisk + existenz. Adding your superstock on top removed a lot of bloat but the camera and flash stopped working (Error, Unknown error). Is that fixable or an incompatibility?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] peter.schwake@gmail.com:
With no encryption and the remove of the fstap patch, everything is fine.

For resolution I would recommend 1440... :)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, ] LazerL0rd:
Can you try to delete the vendor/camera and vendor/etc folder from SuperStock to fix that? F2FS will be using FBE (non-ICE) as I'm completely against FDE. I think FEC (forceencrypt) disablers still work so you can avoid encryption still that way. About min brightness, I'll look into it. I found a bug where you can go lower but cannot escape.

I prefer people to use it to enjoy the full experience of zest. But you won't have any TWRP so boot image backups are necessary and can be restored via fastboot.
