This Kernel version 2.6.35.7 is compiled from Samsung sources, with GCC Ubuntu/Linaro 4.4.7
I changed in sources for add more frequencies to cpu and configured to add features.
The kernel can be used on any rom.
ATTENTION:
The friend [email protected] discovered the cause that most try to compile the kernel and fails to load the modules samsung, this is due to vermagic is being written incorrectly in the file "common/include/config/kernel.release", the correct value is "2.6.35.7" not "2.6.35.7+".
Please developers, try to compile now! - My Kernel Source

Can you overclock the kernel ?

The zram module creates RAM based block devices named /dev//block/zram<id>
(<id> = 0, 1, ...). Pages written to these disks are compressed and stored
in memory itself. These disks allow very fast I/O and compression provides
good amounts of memory savings. Some of the usecases include /tmp storage,
use as swap disks, various caches under /var and maybe many more
Statistics for individual zram devices are exported through sysfs nodes at
/sys/block/zram<id>/
* Usage
Following shows a typical sequence of steps for using zram.
1) Load Module:
insmod /system/lib/modules/lzo_decompress.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/lzo_compress.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/zram.ko
(Optional)
insmod /system/lib/modules/zram.ko num_devices=4
This creates 4 devices: /dev/block/zram{0,1,2,3}
(num_devices parameter is optional. Default: 1)
2) Set Disksize:
# Initialize /dev/block/zram0 with 50MB disksize
echo $((50*1024*1024)) > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
NOTE: disksize cannot be changed if the disk contains any
data. So, for such a disk, you need to issue 'reset' (see below)
before you can change its disksize.
3) Activate:
mkswap /dev/block/zram0
swapon /dev/block/zram0
(Optional)
mkfs.ext4 /dev/block/zram1
mount /dev/block/zram1 /tmp
4) Stats:
Per-device statistics are exported as various nodes under
/sys/block/zram<id>/
disksize
num_reads
num_writes
invalid_io
notify_free
discard
zero_pages
orig_data_size
compr_data_size
mem_used_total
5) Deactivate:
swapoff /dev/block/zram0
umount /dev/block/zram1
6) Reset:
Write any positive value to 'reset' sysfs node
echo 1 > /sys/block/zram0/reset
echo 1 > /sys/block/zram1/reset
(This frees all the memory allocated for the given device).

Razordroid have a old version of kernel no?

Rafael,I noticed that,in the first version of your kernel,you were setting permissions for /system/lib/lmodules....Shouldn't it be modules is there something else?

I included in this kernel the iptables modules for droidwall, in your rom you haven't the lastest kernel.
in my last kernel i corrected the cpu governors and schedulers and moved the su to /system/xbin.

The kernel can be used on any rom.
Search in galaxy Y one converter for EXT4.

Can you add overklocking to this kernel? Would be great if you could.

can't save contacts after install thi kernel

Yes..Overclocking should be first on your next to-do lists..

kkkk I'm using CSC partition as SWAP

Raphael, might you need anything from GPU? i dont know if its kernel that needs or only CM7.2, i found this while browsing today, dont know if it might help in anything. https://github.com/hermanhermitage/videocoreiv

Guys, i got question, do scripts in the init.d folder will startup automatically by booting our device? Or I'll have to do something else?

Be aware that improper usage of kernel features can cause serious damage to your device!
Only use the stuff above if you know what you're doing!
In agreement with the GPL, you can find the sources and defconfig used to compile this kernel right here.
Known Issues:
Please keep in mind that CM12.1 sources are still work in progress. As a result, some features may be broken or only partially working.
That's why I decided to only list device-specific issues below.
Below ~60% battery, the displayed battery level will reduce significantly on rebooting. This is a known issue with all AOSP based ROMs.
After switching to a new battery, I noticed this behavior is related to automatic battery calibration and directly affected by the health of your phone's battery.
Disclaimer:
By downloading and installing this ROM, you agree that I cannot be held responsible for any damage caused to your device while installing or using it. Please keep in mind that it's YOU who chose to do these modifications to your device!
Installation:
Make sure your bootloader is unlocked - if not, follow this guide: Link
First installation? Flash the boot.img from ROM zip via Flashtool (use Fastboot mode!)
Boot into TWRP recovery
Do a factory reset and wipe system partition
Flash latest ROM zip (check "Downloads" section)
Flash suitable GApps for CM12.1 or CM12

chown -R 2800:2800 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0
Troubleshooting:
I can't create folders in internal storage!
Follow the instructions on updating to latest build. While flashing, my rom will apply its required storage permissions automatically.
Alternatively, you may simply run the following Terminal commands:
Code:
su
chmod 777 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0
chown 1023:1023 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0
chown -R 1023:1023 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0
Camera any Gallery won't save my photos!

I can't move apps to sdcard!
Moving apps to internal storage is quite buggy and discouraged. I recommend repartitioning your device with the instructions below.
Advanced Modifications:
Switching to F2FS:
First of all, make sure you're running homebuild version 20150215 or later!
1. Copy all important files from internal storage to the external sdcard
2. Reboot to recovery
3. Do a full backup (make sure to select external sdcard as target location)
4. Disable MTP in "Mount" menu
5. Go to "Wipe" > "Advanced Wipe" menu
6. Check "System", then tap "FS Options" and "Change FS"
7. Select "F2FS", then swipe to apply the change
8. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for "Data" and "Cache" partitions, as well as internal storage
9. Navigate to TWRP Settings and check "Use rm -rf instead of formatting"
10. Restore your previous backup
12. Reboot to system
13. Restore your copied files from external sdcard
14. Reboot
Reverting to EXT4:
1. Copy all important files from internal storage to the external sdcard
2. Reboot to recovery
3. Do a full backup (make sure to select external sdcard as target location)
4. Disable MTP in "Mount" menu
5. Go to "Wipe" > "Advanced Wipe" menu
6. Check "System", then tap "FS Options" and "Change FS"
7. Select "EXT4", then swipe to apply the change
8. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for "Data" and "Cache" partitions, as well as internal storage
9. Navigate to TWRP Settings and check "Use rm -rf instead of formatting"
10. Restore your previous backup
12. Reboot to system
13. Restore your copied files from external sdcard
14. Reboot
Repartitioning your device:
Note:
Up to 14GB of free space on external sdcard might be required to perform the steps below! (Should be less if your internal storage isn't completely bloated )
The value XXXX used below has to be replaced with a calculated number and varies depending on your desired space. I recommend 5120, as it's a decent balance between general data storage (used for most apps) and space on internal storage for apps with bigger data (games). Refer to step 13 of this link if you want to calculate your own partition sizes.
1. Copy all important files from internal storage to the external sdcard with the following terminal command:
Code:
rsync -P -a /sdcard /ext_card/sdcard0/
2. Reboot to recovery
3. Do a full backup (make sure to select external sdcard as target location)
4. Navigate to "Mount" menu, disable MTP and unmount all partitions listed there
5. Navigate to "Advanced" > "Terminal Command" and type the following code:
Code:
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 print
This command should display some text like this:
Code:
Model: MMC M8G2FB (sd/mmc)
Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0: 7818MB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 131kB 2228kB 2097kB TA
2 2228kB 3801kB 1573kB Boot
3 3801kB 5374kB 1573kB Boot2
4 6291kB 27.3MB 21.0MB Kernel
5 27.3MB 28.3MB 1049kB TZ
6 29.4MB 32.5MB 3146kB modemst1
7 33.6MB 36.7MB 3146kB modemst2
8 37.7MB 40.9MB 3146kB fsg
9 40.9MB 46.1MB 5243kB ramdump
10 46.1MB 54.5MB 8389kB ext4 apps_log
11 54.5MB 71.3MB 16.8MB FOTAKernel
12 71.3MB 1359MB 1288MB System
13 1359MB 1621MB 262MB Cache
14 1621MB 3769MB 2147MB Userdata
15 3769MB 7818MB 4050MB SDCard
We're going to remove Userdata and SDCard partitions, so check if these partitions also have the numbers 14 and 15 on your phone.
6. Type the following terminal commands to proceed with resizing the partitions:
Code:
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 rm 14
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 rm 15
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 mkpartfs logical ext2 1621 [B]XXXX[/B]
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 name 14 Userdata
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 mkpartfs logical ext2 [B]XXXX[/B] 7818
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 name 15 SDCard
7. Leave the terminal screen and go to "Wipe" > "Advanced Wipe" menu
8. Check "Data", then tap "FS Options" and "Change FS"
9. Select "EXT4" or "F2FS", then swipe to apply the change
10. Repeat steps 8 and 9 for internal storage (is named "sdcard" in this menu)
11. Restore your previous backup
12. Restore your backed-up files from external sdcard with the following terminal command:
Code:
cp -a /external_sd/sdcard0/* /sdcard/
13. Reboot
14. Enter the following terminal commands to fix storage permissions:
Code:
su
chmod 777 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0
chown 1023:1023 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0
chown -R 1023:1023 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0

By the way, rom is online.

With the whole "no working recovery included", does it mean that we cant flash one to FOTAkernel afterwards?
By the way, you are a freaking champion for releasing this ROM, and thanks for all the work you put into making our phones better

Just doing what I can.
However, I gotta mention that I would never have come that far without @updateing.
Once more huge thanks for your help!
FOTA recovery should work, as the phone boots properly into recovery. You may give this a shot, I remember having seen a FOTA TWRP version by championswimmer in Cross Device Forum. :good:
The problem is that the recovery is not CWM anymore. CyanogenMod team is developing their own recovery at the moment. And that one doesn't work (yet)

Download complete. Gapps server was really slow. For me it took 13 minutes to download only Gapps. Now I'm doing a full nandroid backup.
Edit 1 : Booted. WiFi, Bluetooth and Cellular works fine. I'll report more soon
Edit 2 : Report after 40 minutes of use : Fully stable. Other stuff including camera and root access work completely fine. I just had 1 setting FC at first. This ROM is smooth enough (not as much as expected Lool)
These are all of bugs I found :
1. Setting - bluetooth menu - when searching, that circle animation has some problems
2. Setting - Wireless & networks - More - Cellular networks - Carrier settings makes "com.android.phone" FC. (Maybe it's carrier related )
3. The most important bug I've found (not for me, but it can be a disaster for some others ) is Notification/Battery LED does not work at all.
By the way, I have functional CM Recovery. I was able to boot into recovery by selecting reboot recovery power menu. CM Recovery appeared. Even touch is working fine but there is no backup/restore related option.There was just apply update from zip and reboot.
After all, really thanks for your work it's awesome, as always

I think the carrier settings fc and led stuff is device related. Will try to fix it in next build. :good:
Booting in recovery works fine, but flashing does not work.
I'm sure CM team will fix this soon.

Installed in the morning.
Had no crushes yet, no bugs in animation that I`ve seen. However, power consumption is dramatically high compared to stock 4.3 JB. Most time processor runs at 1.5ghz.

Hi
It's my first time to post something so I don't know if I'm doing it right
So
First of all thank you for the ROM and the great work keep it up :good:
Second I found some other bugs Dunno if it's apps releated or something in the ROM itself
1. Gestures keyboard doesn't work
2. Google Play services keep asking to update it "and it's up to date"
3. Tap and hold doesnt work "quick toggles" in notification centre. and is it CM feature ?
An other question
When A new release is out can I flash CM11 kernel to flash the new release since I flashed it using CWM I was on CM11
P.S I didnt wipe data or system wipe just backed up the old ROM and flashed this one didn't want to re-install all apps etc..

Very good looking rom. Flashing right now, got first bootloop....because i flashed cm12 kernel. That was my fault. Now im already setting my device up.
Looks like LTE aslo working.
Any good ideas how to make navibar smaller? Xposed wont work with 5.0 as i know.

Bugs 1 and 3 are related to CM sources. Number two is most likely caused by your dirty installation. (Which I don't recommend, by the way)
Thats the plan.. Until CM recovery works we gotta fastboot NeoKernel and flash the update from its included recovery. :good:

Be aware that improper usage of kernel features can cause serious damage to your device!
Only use the stuff above if you know what you're doing!
In agreement with the GPL, you can find the sources and defconfig used to compile this kernel right here.
Known Issues:
Please keep in mind that CM12.1 sources are still work in progress. As a result, some features may be broken or only partially working.
That's why I decided to only list device-specific issues below.
Below ~60% battery, the displayed battery level will reduce significantly on rebooting. This is a known issue with all AOSP based ROMs.
After switching to a new battery, I noticed this behavior is related to automatic battery calibration and directly affected by the health of your phone's battery.
Disclaimer:
By downloading and installing this ROM, you agree that I cannot be held responsible for any damage caused to your device while installing or using it. Please keep in mind that it's YOU who chose to do these modifications to your device!

i have it all ready but didn´t have time to install,i´m still on 20150915 tomorrow i´ll try this one

Finally.. you created thread. Thanks for your work and continuing support for this device

Thanks neo, this rom with include saber mod, can i use other mod ?

Working good so far, it's got the extra settings/customization that the only other build for TX lacks. No problems so far with bootloops, data restore, etc. except for the issue I think was already mentioned in the T thread, in which TWRP doesn't reboot and hangs if you press the "reboot" button too soon.

Look here.
https://www.google.de/search?btnG=1&pws=0&q=xperia+apps+cm12.1+site:forum.xda-developers.com
Camera button stuff is one of the features that have to be added in upstream sources first.

1 problem by this device is low storage for app installing
this device have 16Gig Storage
but we can install 2Gig app!
if you can Increase this storage many of problems was solved
(for example my galaxy tab have 16gig storage and i can install 16gig app on my device)
thank you

Hi. Got to hand the phone. I want to upgrade to the current release. Can I rolled forward as an upgrade, or better to install as the installation for the first time? Or enough to make a backup and then to roll back? (exactly what to back up that it include?)
sorry for my bad english.

Check the instructions in third post
You can always do a backup before updating, but I test the builds before upload, so a bootloop or other issues are quite unlikely.

Introduction
MultiROM is one-of-a-kind multi-boot mod for Sony Xperia Z2 (Sirius). It can boot any Android ROM as well as other systems like Ubuntu Touch, Plasma Active, Bohdi Linux or WebOS port. Besides booting from device's internal memory, MultiROM can boot from USB drive connected to the device via OTG cable. The main part of MultiROM is a boot manager, which appears every time your device starts and lets you choose ROM to boot. You can see how it looks on the left image below and in gallery. ROMs are installed and managed via modified TWRP recovery. You can use standard ZIP files to install secondary Android ROMs, daily prebuilt image files to install Ubuntu Touch and MultiROM even has its own installer system, which can be used to ship other Linux-based systems.
Features:
* Multiboot any number of Android ROMs
* Restore nandroid backup as secondary ROM
* Use for example Ubuntu Touch or Desktop alongside with Android, without the need of device formatting
* Boot from USB drive attached via OTG cable

Warning!
It _is_ dangerous. This whole thing is basically one giant hack - none of these systems are made with multibooting in mind. It is messing with boot sector and data partition. It is no longer messing with data partition or boot sector (actually the no-kexec workaround is messing with your boot sector), but it is possible that something goes wrong and you will have to flash factory images again.
Make backups. Always.

Installation
Manual installation
Note 1: Your device must not be encrypted (hint: if you don't know what it is, then it is not encrypted).
MultiROM has 2 parts you need to install:
MultiROM (multirom-YYYYMMDD-vXX-UNOFFICIAL-sirius.zip) - download the ZIP file from the download section and flash it in recovery.
Modified recovery (TWRP_multirom_sirius_YYYYMMDD.img) - download the IMG file from the download section and flash it in recovery.
Your current rom will not be erased by the installation.

Adding ROMs
1. Android
Go to recovery, enter the MultiROM section of TWRP (by clicking the icon in to top right corner) -> Add ROM. Select the ROM's zip file and confirm. As for the space, clean installation of stock 4.2 after first boot (with dalvik cache generated and connected to google account) takes 676mb of space.

2. Ubuntu Touch this is NOT SUPPORTED
Use the MultiROM Manager app to install Ubuntu Touch.
Ubuntu Touch is in development - MultiROM will have to be updated to keep up with future changes in Ubuntu, so there's a good chance this method stops working after a while and I'll have to fix it.

Using USB drive
During installation, recovery lets you select install location. Plug in the USB drive, wait a while and press "refresh" so that it shows partitions on the USB drive. You just select the location (extX, NTFS and FAT32 partitions are supported) and proceed with the installation.
If you wanna use other than default FAT32 partition, just format it in PC. If you don't know how/don't know where to find out how, you probably should not try installing MultiROM.
If you are installing to NTFS or FAT32 partition, recovery asks you to set image size for all the partitions - this cannot be easilly changed afterward, so choose carefully. FAT32 is limited to maximum of 4095MB per image - it is limitation of the filesystem, I can do nothing about that.
Installation to USB drives takes a bit longer, because the flash drive is (usually) slower and it needs to create the images, so installation of Ubuntu to 4Gb image on my pretty fast USB drive takes about 20 minutes.
Enumerating USB drive can take a while in MultiROM menu, so when you press the "USB" button in MultiROM, wait a while (max. 30-45s) until it searches the USB drive. It does it by itself, no need to press something, just wait.

Updating/changing ROMs
1. Primary ROM (Internal)
Flash ROM's ZIP file as usual, do factory reset if needed (it won't erase secondary ROMs)
Go to the MultiROM section of TWRP (by clicking the icon in to top right corner) and do Inject curr. boot sector.
2. Secondary Android ROMs
If you want to change the ROM, delete it and add new one. To update ROM, follow these steps:
Go to the MultiROM section of TWRP (by clicking the icon in to top right corner) -> List ROMs and select the ROM you want to update.
Select "Flash ZIP" and flash ROM's ZIP file.
In some cases, you might need to flash patched kernel - get corresponding patched kernel version from second post and flash it to the secondary ROM sama way you flashed ROM's ZIP file.

Explanation of recovery menus
Main menu
- Add ROM - add ROM to boot
- List ROMs - list installed ROMs and manage them
- Inject boot.img file - When you download for example kernel, which is distrubuted as whole boot.img (eg. franco kernel), you have to use this option on it, otherwise you would lose MultiROM.
- Inject curr. boot sector - Use this option if MultiROM does not show up on boot, for example after kernel installation.
- Settings - well, settings.
Manage ROM
- Rename, delete - I believe these are obvious
- Flash ZIP (only Android ROMs) - flash ZIP to the ROM, for example gapps
- Add/replace boot.img - replaces boot.img used by this ROM, this is more like developer option.
- Re-patch init - this is available only for ubuntu. Use it when ubuntu cannot find root partition, ie. after apt-get upgrade which changed the init script.

FAQ and other notes
Q: MultiROM Menu touch are buggy sometimes?
A1: I got it working by this patch and this modded input type
If you can get much better touch patch then you are a nice guy..
A2: Use volume keys to navigate and power key to select.

No-kexec workaround
Q: What is the no-kexec workaround?
A: The no-kexec workaround by nkk71 allows you to use MultiROM without having to flash a kexec enabled kernel.

Can you give kexec kernel too?

Is there any problem if I want to install different Android versions? I want to keep Miui 8 (6.0.1) and try RR 5.8.4 (7.1.2).
Thanks in advance

Ok. So welcome to Z2 space
I'll try and report the result.
=========================
Man I'm trying to install the new TWRP but no success.
If I try by current TWRP 3.0.0-2, only Boot option theres to flash your TWRP. This won't works since the file isn't a kernel. I tried it...
If I try to flash it by fastboot (fastboot flash recovery yourtwrp.img) it flashes but nothing changes, nothing at all.
Must your TWRP to be flashed in FOTA partition using dd commands?
My Z2's history: stock MM .291 > UB > kernel Abricot v8.1 > MIUI 8

Yes i know but no kexec have some bug with this device, if power off from 2nd rom, i can't turn on my phone, i need to hard reset with power and volume up before turning on!
Also your recovery isn't working, simple i can't boot your recovery with key combinations "volume down then power"

Sorry for late response, I have done the script but boot.img size more than 20MB (zImage gzip format) we cant flash it.
Will try to build stock kernel with lzma or another compression soon. Also I need some free time to work on multirom for stock.
You can swap ROMs for now by installing AOSP on primary and stock on secondary.
