It is the recovery.img outputted by cm-10.1 build
So, if you have a shared boot/recovery kernel, it will work only on cm-10.1 ROMs until someone repacks it for stock ROMs
If you have a dedicated recovery partition, you can flash without much trouble, in theory...
But, I am not responsible of any damage. This is mainly for devs or advanced users knowing what I am talking about
Consider it as really early preview until it is better tested.
@[NUT] compiled open source version and all was working he said. So, I do not expect big issues

I can repack it into my kernel. I'll test it and let you know.
Thank you!

Happy to see you back @shoey63
You did a huge debugging and contributed a lot to make this project last, when it started timidly a year ago
What you can do is:
fastboot flash it or in cwm if possible
Boot into recovery. Give me a feedback and then flash back your kernel for your daily ROM
But don't kill me if your XperiaZ dies
All good Phil:thumbup: Just need touch working

Re-packed As reported, touch does not work.
I'll see what else is not working.
Also, the Aroma File Manager needs an additional zip no?
EDIT: Looks like the touch is registered. I get a haptic feedback when I tap anywhere on the screen. But just can't use it.

Great it boots and works
Maybe touch needs extra kernel enablers or echo to some /sys/.../touch path
Unless the device has flipped x/y axis. In that case, touch events should register but not considered most of the time
If screen reacts to touch under some parts/scrolls, it is second case, else first

Seems like the first case. It does not react except for the haptic feedback. However, when I open the log in the advanced menu and it prompts to press any key to continue, touching the screen registers as a key press and it returns to the previous menu.
EDIT: I could upload TWRP recovery which has touch working if that would help.

Thank you a lot (out of my :good: today)
I will look at touch later
Le me know about any other bugs
Meanwhile, can someone repack with twrp recovery kernel and ramdisk files (init, *.rc and files in root) to see if it fixes touch
That's to be sure it is not a kernel issue not having touch enabled

I won't write long and fancy descriptions... I am planning to keep both kernel and the OP as clean as possible.
This kernel is for Xperia-T only and supports only Sony ICS ROMs for now.
FEATURES:
Autoroot
Some optimizations by cherrypicking from others & upstream
Some change-this-and-that kind of optimizations on governors
Some additional I/O Schedulers (sio, v/r)
Undervolting support
Overclocking support (192-1890MHz) with some modifications on thermal throttling to prevent overclocked values to be used during boot.
Custom CWM-based recovery with touch gestures (thanks to sk8erwitskil for the gesture support)
STweaks support (included in the kernel or from Google Play). it is an opensource app which generates dynamic UIs based on /res/uci.sh script interface and lets your set some kernel parameters easily. It will be auto-installed.
Fast-dormancy is disabled as default. You can enable it using STweaks.
KNOWN ISSUES:
Some STweaks settings are not effective
kernel needs some time to apply settings and you may feel some lag for the first 2-3 minutes. this will be fixed soon.
TODO:
cm10 support
Xperia TX support
dual-boot
more features...

Many thanks
I will test this on my rom and link it to the all in one thread.
Works fine ROM-Assaye
Touch recovery is excellent!
No vibration on prompt to recovery, but has purple LED, I would appreciate the vibraion back please.
Will test other feature in time.
EDIT:
Unexpected error in STweaks
i've just installed this kernel.....works great!! smoother and faster.... now trying !!! thanks!!!
Reserved for a probable, long and boring FAQ post...

I have not tested it on TX and that is why I wrote "Xperia-T only" to the first post.
also, make sure you read TODO..
if you use it on TX, use it at your own risk.
i will give this kernel a test on pacman and latest paranoid roms if you want.

I haven't tested it on cm10 although I put some init files to the ramfs.
it will probably not boot on CM10 or anything based on that.
it is still on my todo, but will send you a message when I need it to be tested on an additional device.

no worries.
i know the cm10/paranoid kernels have no boot animations, which was offputting for the first few boots.
as greg asked before, can we keep the vibration for cm prompt if possible?
oops.. tested STweaks now and it doesn't work. seems like I will upload 0.2 in 20 mins
and I will put the vibration before cwm amber light toggle.
damn.. I think I will never be able to have a first release fully working

thats what first releases are for...just checking backup and restore in .tar mode now
---------- Post added at 02:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 PM ----------
Another problem..sorry. its not really a bug, just something that could be made better
The backup option does not have a confirm option, which i found painful on non touch versions becuase i sometimes hit the power button instead of volume up or down and start a backup by mistake.
I have just done the same again because as son as it finished a backup I went to pick the phone up and touched the screen on the enter butoon and another backup started....could you implement an "are you sure" option like on other screens where you have to scroll up and down through a load of no options before you hit yes...
I have uploaded v0.2
-added vibration during boot, just before cwm prompt
-fixed stweaks xml file (the problem was related with a last minute addition of sched_mc parameter)
Hi gok, if you want it moving over to Original Development let me know as your work generally couldn't get much more original
I won't be round till later but will move it then if none of the other mods see it first.
Thanks as always for sharing your work :good:

thank you for your kind comment but for now the kernel is not so original.
it has some cherrypicks and influences from some other repos although some parts are carefully corrected.
I want to make an example of "it is not who you are which makes your posts to be placed in original development but it is what you do"... and kernels can be unoriginal work as well.
I will ask for your evaluation once I feel like the work is more original
thank you again.

no problem. It failed on both the backups i made with this recovery and now just failed on a known good .tar backup i made with a previous recovery.
It fails at different times, once on restoring system once on a md5 ismatch (On the new backups) and on the known good backup it failed on restoting data
"Error while restoring /sdcard/ .android /.androi_secure!"
But its a good looking recovery, I will be using it when these wrinkles are ironed out.
Again, many thanks, and if the confirm option for the backup is implemented as well, I would be over the moon.

did you backup to internal or external card?
and do you have any app moved to .android_secure? (move2sd)
I have just run backup to internal and restored it successfully. EDIT: no .android_secure backup

Hey guys,
The Android 4.3 update for the Nexus 4, in my opinion, has majorly improved the touch screen sensitivity of the Nexus 4, therefore I believe this mod is irrelevant. For those who still want to use it, its still here.
Hey guys,
First of all, I would like to say thanks to trter10 who made the original thread for this. Unfortunately, that thread has been abandoned by the OP and forgotten about. Therefore, I have decided to make this thread. In fact, the mod that I made, in my opinion, is much better than the one in that thread.
As many of us, Nexus 4 users, have come to realize, the device's touch screen sensitivity is way below par when it comes to today's day and age. It has been pointed out that this is due to some changes in the latest touch screen driver from Synaptics, E027. An earlier driver, E015, had much better sensitivity and therefore downgrading to it improves touch screen sensitivity significantly.
There are two ways to downgrade the driver. The first way is the easiest but it doesn't work for everybody, such as people (like me) who use custom kernels like Franco Kernel. I don't know why it doesn't work, but that's the way it is.
First Method:
What You Need:
Root - If you don't have it, go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312
A custom recovery - If you don't have it, go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312
Busybox - If you don't have it, get it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox
init.d support - If you don't have, go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933849
What This Does:
Puts an init.d script in the init.d folder. This script will install the E015 driver on boot.
Places the driver in /system for the script to use.
Instructions:
Extract Method 1.zip.
Boot in to your custom recovery.
Install E015-TouchDriver-Mako.zip
Reboot.
Instructions to Revert:
Boot in to your custom recovery.
Install E015-TouchDriver-Mako-Revert.zip
Reboot.
Notes:
After boot, your touchscreen will be unresponsive for around 30 seconds.
After flashing a ROM, you will need to install this zip again.
I am not responsible for any damage this modification may cause.
Second Method:
What You Need:
Root - If you don't have it, go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312
Busybox - If you don't have it, get it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox
Script Manager - SManager - If you don't have it, get it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=os.tools.scriptmanager
Instructions:
Extract Method 2.zip.
Using any android file explorer, place SynaImage.E015.bin in /sdcard.
Using any android file explorer, place the E015TouchDriverDowngrade script in any location you want on your internal SD card (I placed it in /sdcard/Scripts).
Go into Smanager, navigate to the E015TouchDriverDowngrade script and press on it.
Select the following options: Fav, Su.
Press Run.
The touch screen will be disabled for the next 15-30 seconds.
From now on, on every reboot you need to perform the following steps in order to downgrade the touchscreen driver:
Go into Smanager, click on options -> Scripts -> E015TouchDriverDowngrade -> Run.
Enjoy!
Notes:
After a reboot, your touchscreen will be unresponsive for around 20 seconds because the kernel is reflashing the new touch screen driver (E027).
After selecting Run your touch screen won't work for 15-30 seconds if it does work, the old touch driver is not being flashed.
I am not responsible for any damage this modification may cause.
Enjoy!

Well, from 4.2.1 to 4.2.2 they didn't fix it, so probably not.
Works fantastically, thank you!
on aokp build 3 for anyone who's curious.
Will not look back!!
Works as advertised on PA 3.0 (24FEB) I can finally type a message in portrait without it making me feel like I have no clue how to type. I would consistently hit letters and they would not register, just did a test and tapped a whole paragraph with not one error. Thank you very much.
Re: [MOD] Improve Touch Screen Sensitivity
Thanks for this! Going to install this now and try if the delay is shorter. The previous one was annoying that I disabled.
Beamed from my very paranoid and harsh Nexus⁴
Got rid of the 30 second delay being a known issue since it's part of the mod and is mentioned in notes.
I will be away for a week so I won't be able to support the thread for that time, happy flashing!

When you boot into recovery just wait a minute for the touch screen to start responding then carry on as normal.
Whats happening is the touch driver is being reflahed back to 027 one.

U can directly flash zip in cwm recovery....
Else u can flash tar file in mobile Odin pro.....
What to do if any thing goes wrong:
Flash cwm recovery via ROM manager.....
Or u can flash cwm recovery via PC and mobile Odin pro....

Sorry didnt get. Is it necessary to enable 'include preload' in misc nandroid settings for sungsonic hd v2 rom?
For variants, if you want support:
- try to make an effort and post hardware difference between your variant and original P3100
- post the recovery.img stock file extracted from a jellybean firmware from sammobile.com
- after that, I could help you in answering it or release a specific version for your variant
About touch:
1- when you touch a menu to select: is the selection precise and working as expected
2- bottom virtual buttons: do they work as expected?
3- If it is slow, try to reduce the Scroll Sensitivity setting and reduce menu height. Play with both to find a sweet point¨
Try to describe what happens with precision. A video would even be better, so that I can get what you mean. I won't be able to help much as I do not have the device, without these

Hi Phil,
Here'a a recovery image from P3113 XAR OTA 4.1.1
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/98505171/recovery-OTA4.1.1-3113.img
I messed around with your recovery last night, it does work on the 3113 but it seemed very "odd" to me. Could be that I'm not familiar with it, or I needed to change some settings.
I did go into Philz settings and made sure it was set to touch but touch seemed off on most anything I tried. If i used it like a regular non-touch CWM, using the power and volume buttons it was fine but attempts to use scrolling or touch didn't seem to register properly.
As I said, maybe it's some settings I'm missing but for example on the virtual buttons, the one that looks like a home or up button did nothing. The one that looks like an upside down home or down button acted erractically and the two other buttons seemed to navigate or scroll down.
With touch, if I tried to make a selection, it would usually just scroll to the top of that menu. Sorry, if I'm not being precise but I guess I'm not really sure how this is supposed to act.
Also, when I read your other thread, I saw that you can toggle 3 touch modes, Full, Double Tap and Semi, I never found this option. So, it could just be user error with me not being familiar with it. However, I would think that default settings would be workable right out of the box???
Anyway, maybe this is just related to the P3113, hopefully the 3113 recovery image will be helpful, as overall it looks to be a very comprehensive and powerful recovery. Thanks for bringing it to the Gtab 2.

This rules that this has been ported, as I use the PhilzTouch on my Galaxy Tab2. I even donated a few $$ to him!
One question, with the shared kernel "feature" of the T, how did you avoid having it revert back to stock CWMrecovery anytime one flashes a new ROM?
Regardless, I'll try this out tonight.
Hey i always wanted this to get ported! Im using the leaked 4.3 rom and it does work but it only boots into the recovery everytime. Is this a bug or is there a way to fix this?

It will be repacked into other kernels later...

So how do I go about installing this?
Is it as simple as boot the "T" into flashboot mode and running
fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot philz_touch_6.09.3-mint.img
But I'd rather not blow away my phone if this is wrong.
Can I use this for the xperia V, too ?

Is there a trick to using PhilzTouch on the T to avoid the shared kernel?
I installed it via "flashboot boot philz.img" and at first glance, it seems to work the same as on my Galaxy Tab 2.
But then it turns out that its not really useable.
a) I was unable to boot back into my normal ROM. Rebooting always brought it back to PhilzTouch.
b) Even if I could have found a way to boot my phone, it turns out that PhilzTouch recovery was overwritten by the stock recovery as soon as I installed a newer CM nightly which I tend to do nightly.
hi all
can i use for TX ? do i need UL or not ? thanks
How to install this recovery?
fastboot flash boot boot.img gives me each time a reboot in recovery
fastboot flash recovery boot.img gives me an error.
Anyone got this working?

Would you please share how you did it? A how-to would be great including which ROM you came from and all the steps in clear chronological order.

You need Unlocked Boatloader at first!
1. install the 4.3 rom (any you like). Flashing the FTF with everything included
2. Flash this CWM recovery and install SU zip
3. flash FTF and exclude all except KERNEL.
Done! (limited time to write so made it short)

@steveboss is reporting an extremely sensitive touch interface, is there any way you can confirm it is working out of the ordinary?

Hello, I send you video tomorrow
@steveboss where's the video?
@Phil3759
I'm having trouble to get philz to recognize the internal sdcard partition (its a real partition, not part of userdata)... what ever I try, it just keeps failing...
Do you have a possibility to build philz based on the CM10.1 or the freexperia 'jellybean' repo for this device?
I'm starting to suspect the CM10.2 repo might contain some issues as it was put together with pure CM in mind, which might make it incompatible with the stock sony JB4.3 kernel...
The Xperia T made a jump from JB4.1.2 to JB4.3 in one step up, receiving it only a month or so ago, while the CM10.2 repo has been around for far longer...
The 'original' locked bootloader package has made the same jump up recently and CWM started causing problems for it's users too.

Look at the fireball device repo (fstab file) to use vold with real sdcard partition
Else use compatibility recoveryonly option in fstab with real blk device path

not quite sure how to take a photo, if I slide to the left it toggles the screen brightness, if I toggle to the right the screen goes blank and restarts the phone
edit
actually it's the other way round (slide right brightness, slide left blank and reboot)

Did so and still restarts after a minute or two :/
Btw, THANK YOU FOR BUILDING THIS! I've been wanting to throw my phone and claw my eyes out over Twrp the last few days, corrupted my cache and system partitions among other things, fun time to fix it.

idk if this will help you or not, restart happens regardless of touching it. tried doing a backup and later starting aromafm and it restarts. Log is attached ^^
Update fix2:
http://d-h.st/74F
- bigger font
- enable exfat on external storage (sorry, will need an extra derp on next update)
- fix mount point for external storage
- disable some QCOM display parts
- more stock parts, include selinux permissions
Let me know how it goes. Seems to be a long debugging step by step until we get a dev with a device release a proper device tree or repack from my base

Downloaded and installed!
Menu Looks *perfect* now!
Still getting the same random reboots after about 2 minutes in recovery, already tried disabling 'Dim display' and "screen off" to no avail.
Is this working yet?

For me it's not yet, Idk about anyone else. I get about 2 minutes to do whatever I wanna do in recovery before it restarts the phone.. was successfully able to flash a couple small quick things tho.. just not enough time to flash a Rom or do a backup yet.

I need a log
When it reboots by its self, let it go to the rom
Grab all files in /cache/recovery and post them in a zip here.
That way i can see what is happening
