[KERNEL][D6502/D6503/D6543] AndroPlusKernel v72 [DISCONTINUED] - Xperia Z2 Android Development

I found Sony merged Z2 source into Z3 source like unified kernel!
So I build it for D6502/D6503 23.0.1.A.3.12 and it worked fine
Note I don't use Z2 for daily driver now,
so I can only confirm it's working without SIM.
It should be OK with SIM, though.
[UPDATE 3/1]
I sold my Z2, so I can't check if new versions work on Z2.

What is FOTA kernel recovery?
[/B]
NOTE: This is old info as we can use official recovery partition on newer ROM.
Xperia doesn't have recovery partition for user,
but we have FOTA kernel partition for OTA.
Since we have to unlock bootloader and OTA won't work on unlocked,
we can re-use useless FOTA kernel as recovery partition using Dees-Troy's "extract_elf_ramdisk".
With FOTA kernel recovery, you can update your recovery without updating kernel.For example, TeamWin provides TWRP images of FOTA kernel for Z2:
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/232You can flash images to FOTA kernel by fastboot command like
Code:
fastboot flash recovery fotakernel.img
To enter into FOTA recovery, press power key when LED is on.
How to restore DRM functions?
When you unlock bootloader you will lose X-Reality, noise reduction and so on,
but you can restore them!
Original thread is here, but I updated steps for Z2.
1. Download zip from original thread
* Choose KitKat version (for 4.4) or Lollipop version (for 5.0)
2. Place zip in internal or external storage of your device
3. Reboot into recovery and do Factory Reset
4. Reboot into flashmode and flash FTF with Flashtool
Any FTF is OK, but of cource use FTF for same version you are using now.
Wipe: Check APPSLOG and CACHE
Exclude: Don't check
5. Close Flashtool, unplug and plug your phone and reopen Flashtool, then relock bootloader
Click BLU icon to show relock button and click it.
6. Flash FTF (same as 4.)
7. Close Flashtool, unplug and plug your phone and reopen Flashtool, then unlock bootloader
Click BLU icon to show unlock button and click it.
8. Reboot into fastboot mode and flash my kernel
9. Reboot into recovery and install DRM Restore zip
10. Reboot
11. Done!
After doing this, do not restore old data since it will revert DRM restore.
You can restore system with recovery and use Titanium Backup or something to restore app data.
Note: When you flash new ROM (not kernel), you must flash DRM Restore zip.
If you get "net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED" when connecting xda,
please disable PrototypeProtection with Titanium Backup or something similar.

Flashing now

Thanks for the work, will give it a try soon
existenz 4.0.0 is based on stock 4.4.4, so it's supposed to work?
can you share your OC voltages? i recently switched to abricot, now 2,2ghz is unstable at 900mV …

So far so good, boot without any issues and network working fine, I'll report back if I find any issues =D

I'm also using Existenz 4.0.0 and stable at the moment, haven't tried over-clocking yet, but at 2265 Mhz, it is working fine.

It's older 4.4.4 firmware 23.0.1.A.0.167, so compatibility will not be 100% but it will work.
I set -36mV for all since I had reboot when I was using Z2 as daily driver and set -48mV.
Just for reference, I'm setting -84mV on Z3 and working well.

Great to see more development on kernel. Already download but not tried yet since I'm currently testing abricot kernel. Can you update with 167 kernel later sir?

Everything apears to work fine
Exept that that you have said isnt working, aka 3.2Ghz OC
If you need a bootsplash ill make one for you unless your capable of that your self @AndroPlus
Edit- OOM Values apear messed up and cause app crashes in certain apps

Update?
23.0.1.A.3.12 is the newest firmware for D6503
I can't revert kernel source only for .167, so I won't make it.
Anyway, it will work well on .167 since hugoprh said it's working on .167 based ROM.

Thanks, but I have to *force* loading of custom bootsplash on newer kernel and I think it takes some seconds on boot.
It should be one or two seconds, but I prefer shorter booting time.

Oh. Sorry sir. My bad. I don't know that 3.12 is newest than 167.

No. Unfortunately it is not working on ExistenZ 4.0.0 based on 167. Bootloop.
Down reverting would be awesome...

This kernel did work on stock .167, 3.9, 3.12 very well. Reboots when PimpmyZ1 is opened or any other rooted app is opened.

Ahh then it depends on the su permissions.
Is it possible to fix?

I will try this week too in order to confirm incompability.
But dual recovery still works?

NO, dual recovery wont work

This is ot, but how did you done the theming of statusbar, navbar like lolipop i already asked several times noone respond

I'm on eXistenZ and I confirm that dual recovery is working.
Kernel triggers pink led and Sony logo
Dual recovery triggers green led and a vibration with black screen but worked.

I'm using a xposed module, Flat Style Colored Bars
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/flat-style-colored-bars-t2925521

Is there a hidden frequencies or because I'm in .167?
I only see 2.9GHz as highest freq but pimp my ROM says the opposite, there is two more steps 3.0GHz and 3.1GHz

Testing!.. I don't like intellimm with intellithermal and intelliplug with OC CPU 2.5Ghz and GPU 657mhz, for games is so slow, maybe for save battery, on antutu benchmark I had 26870 points. But I like Smartass V2 with intellithermal and intelliplug with OC CPU 2.5Ghz and GPU 657mhz, on antutu benchmark I had 41862 points. Great!! my best score (I was testing Abricot Kernel and I had 39100 points with fast hotplug and Smartass V2). and I/O Scheduler SIO with 4096 on SD-Card and eMMC in both kernels.
Excellent work!.. Now I will testing the battery, and the battery with screen on.

How long does it take to boot?
Sent from my Xperia ZR using Tapatalk
If it's slow after first boot, just give it some time.. It will be faster after some use.
If not, reboot it twice.
First boot might take up to 5 minutes
Can someone confirm if sweep2wake and dt2wake are working?

You can download this file:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/t2pds6e00vfu534/aokp_cwm_touch.zip
and flash it in recovery. I pull the kernel and wifi driver files from AOKP rom and compiled this zip for my use in case of anything goes wrong in flashing stuff like kernel.
If you're using other rom (not aokp), you can open up my zip and pull the respective files from the rom.zip you are using and replace those files in my zip.
Or if you dont understand me, you can simply flash back your rom and your phone will be able to boot again.

Thanks for the reply. I flashed the boot.img from the ROM's zip and then got into recovery and with a nandroid restore, so its good right now. However, I am very eager to try this kernel (once it gets fixed), mainly because of the overclocking part.

Simple Battery Saving Tips:
1. Always, be sure u made a clean install of whichever ROM u installed.
2. Once after installing a ROM, let it settle.
3. Debloat appropriately, you don't want to mess with the system stability by removing the necessary apk's.
4. Use Auto Brightness along with keeping the brightness bar to least value.
5. Use Underclocking and Undervolting for more battery backup, but do read a lot before u do it. Coz improper settings with them(ex: Dealing with voltages), can screw up the h/w.
6. Turn Auto-Sync OFF. Saves a lot of juice.
7. Switch off Data/Wifi when u don't use them.
8. Using Custom kernels will increase battery backup. U can choose custom governors and i/o schedulers and such. I suggest using intelliactive governor and sio scheduler for best results.
9. I personally wouldn't suggest using Greenify, because it does what our Sony Xperia's Stamina Mode does. And Stamina mode works better in my opinion. Still, u could give it a try freezing apps which u don't need.
10. Use Amplify(Xposed Module) to reduce Google Play Services drain, this helps a lot on any phone with 4.4.2 and above.
11. Restart your phone atleast once in 3 days, therefore old processes are stopped while shutting down.
12. Don't use any RAM/Cache cleaner or Battery saving apps.
Battery Caliberation:
1. Charge your device to 100%. Use it till it turns OFF. (Do this for 3-5 charge cycles and u will notice the difference).
Most of these steps work on non rooted devices too.. Except u have to disable apps in Settings instead of removing the apk's like with rooted users. Anyways u guys can provide me with feedbacks after u followed these steps. Hope u benefited from this.

I think there is only 1 custom kernel for 4.4.4 Stock/Stock based ROMs.. Its Hodor Kernel by Olivier.. I myself will try making a kernel if time persists.. But Stock kernel is already good enough.. You are welcome to try any kernel that is for 283 builds..

Google Contacts Sync is removed, since most of the users won't use much Gapps like Contacts Sync, Google+, etc(They tend to remove it as they see it as bloatware).. If users need it back, i will put it back in v2).. For now, u can try getting the apk and push it and set perms..

Put this https://www.dropbox.com/s/clg86cvlnf66b5d/GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk?dl=0 to system/app with permissions rw-r--r-- .
Should work
One more question, do i have to flash recovery and super_su fix right after I flash the rom ??

[KERNEL][V][5.1] NeoKernel - Feel the difference!

Introduction:
Welcome to the official XDA thread for NeoKernel, a standalone, feature-rich and highly optimized custom kernel that will push your phone to its limits!

Disclaimer:
By downloading and installing this kernel, 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!
Also, be aware that improper usage of kernel features can cause serious damage to your device! Only use the features below if you know what you're doing!
NeoKernel Features:
Based on latest CAF kernel sources (LA.AF.1.1.c1)
Compiled with ArchiToolchain 4.9 and several Cortex-A9 optimizations
Overclocking up to 1.62 GHz
Underclocking up to 162 MHz for maximum battery life
User-customizable CPU Voltage driver (thanks to faux123)
Intelliactive and IntelliMinMax CPU governors (thanks to faux123)
In-kernel Thermal Driver (thanks to franciscofranco)
SIO and FIOPS IO schedulers
F2FS (Flash-Friendly File System) support (Performance comparison vs EXT4)
FauxSound support for maximum audio gain control (thanks to faux123)
Latest TWRP recovery, including a Materialised TWRP theme by z31s1g
Good to know:
NeoKernel will override any currently installed recovery on your FOTAKernel partition. That means, recoveries installed via Xperia Recovery Manager or similar apps will be replaced with the latest TWRP that is included in this kernel.
During installation, NeoKernel will recursively set a UID of 1023 for your internal storage. If you happen to use a ROM that expects a 2800 UID (which is quite unlikely, actually) and want to uninstall the kernel, make sure to flash the uninstaller zip from "Downloads" section after re-flashing your ROM zip.
The sources used to build this kernel can be found here.
Requirements:
Unlocked bootloader (Obviously )
A CM12.1-based ROM (CM12 is not tested yet)
Installation:
If your ROM includes CM recovery, fastboot flash the boot.img from kernel zip first!
Boot into recovery
Flash latest NeoKernel build (check "Downloads" section)
Reboot
Downloads:
Latest NeoKernel build: Link (Last updated: Sep 29)
Uninstaller zip: Link (Restores SONY's default storage permissions)
Uninstallation:
To uninstall NeoKernel, just reflash your current ROM.
If you face storage issues after uninstallation, also flash the uninstaller zip from "Downloads" section.

Fixed missing recovery splash screen

I copied zip modules folder files to correct path in system and set permission, flashed kernel via FlashTool. Do I really need to flash again this neo kernel zip?
Update:
I flashed zip again.
Then I suggest OP need to update install instructions for the CynogenMod Recovery also. [emoji4]

My ROM SElinux status is Enforcing. Do I need to change it to Permissive? I really don't know this option. But I saw Neo's CM12.1 ROM using Permissive option.
If you don't mind, can you describe the difference of this Enforcing and Permissive option?

It's a security feature in Linux that allows only certain known files to be executed, if enabled.
Permissive is the development mode, more or less. You see possible denials in logs but the security feature itself is disabled.
If you want to use Xposed, Viper4Android or a similar mod, you need permissive SElinux.
Nice work I wanted to make a smiliar kernel but you were faster than me
I had a week with NeoKernel.... and I'm forced to go back to Resurrection's own Kernel.
I'm on Resurrection 5.5.3 and it does not want this kernel.
I had several soft reboots during this week and can not connect them to any combined reasons.
Setting 162MHz as the lowest did give me pain. Sometimes it took 4-5 seconds to get the elements of the front screen, going in to the apps list took another 4-5 secs.
So I raised it back to 384. And no led. I had no led activity with this kernel.
Today I had two black deaths... I had to remove the battery.
So... I think Neo Kernel and Resurrection ROM just do not like each other.
I tried all the ROMs, but stayed on Resurrection as somehow Lux doesn't work on PAC, ICP or Carbon, but DU and Res. But the sound doesn't work on last updates of DU....
Great job Neo, but had to go back to "stock".

I am also using Resurrection Remix.
But I haven't faced any reboots.
also I haven't faced black death issue. I think you done some misconfiguration with the kernel.
I really like Neo kernel. Because of recovery and kernel tweaks. My only issue is battery draining. Beacause Resurrection Remix kernel got 3 hours screen time and neo kernel got maximum 2.15hours with undervolting. Can someone suggest best governor and i/o ?

Thanks for the feedback!
I recommend sio scheduler for battery life, also reduce max cpu clock to 1200MHz (if you can afford a minor decrease in performance) and optimize your voltages.
Using IntelliMM governor here, with great effects on battery life.
Thread updated with the latest NeoKernel from my new CM12.1 build. Includes the previously missing recovery splash screen. If you don't miss it, there's no need to upgrade.
you mean now all your cm12.1 from now on will have the NeoKernel? cuz previously I had found difference in the kernels provided here and in previous (sep 9) 12.1 build!

Could you give some more info, like wich device you have and wich option you chose on the installer?

Is working fine now on my device.
there seems to be an issue if PIN code for SIM card is enabled.
I popped my SIM in to my old S5 and turned of PIN code, and it worked just fine
Yeah, it booted. Working extremely nice now! First time I've managed to get 86k on antutu. Thanks a lot!
There's another bug when using that xperia X lockscreen. When you activate the home screen double tap to sleep and you double tap to sleep, and when you use your fingerprint to unlock, it asks for you to put the PIN Code anyway.
Have anyone tested the stock kernel i posted before?

Just flashed the stock kernel 2 min. ago.
working fine for me too
Found the source of the problem if the SIM PIN is enabled:
is the Xperia X SystemUI that is causing it.
I didn't noticed at all because i had the PIN disabled on my SIM card.
The only dumb solution i know at the moment is to disable the SIM PIN.
@Raz0Rfail:
i bet you are using the Xperia X System UI any other works fine
I will put some screenshoots of the rom when i have some time.

@JTdevAndroid
You are right with the Xperia X SystemUI.
I'm using the NStyle and it works nice.
The last thing I found is the using of the Rom heats up the phone. But this problem has the phone in every stock rom from LP to MM.
Hi there,
is encryption possible with this ROM?
Thanks

Encryption is untested when using the debloat script/option.
Should work like stock rom if not using it.

I am NOT responsible for any damage done to your device, your neighbor, or any other things you like/hate.​
Introduction:
@myself5 and I were in need for a custom stock kernel to mess with. Since all the available Options were not fitting our needs, or gave us bad experience on some aspects, and we knew about Zombie Kernel from Tom, we decided to start working on that. So I brought up support for the Z5, we ported Kexec to it, updated it to 224 and added various things. Since the kernel gave us very good experiences, we decided to make it accessible to the public.
About:
This Kernel is based on @Tommy-Geenexus Zombie Kernel. He was ok with us continuing/porting his projects, so myself5 and I started to create the "oshmoun Myself5 Zombie Kernel" aka OM5Z Kernel.
Features and Commit History:
Check 2nd Post!
Installation Instruction:
THIS DOES ONLY WORK ON UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER!
You can either flash the provided boot.img via fastboot, or flash the zip in recovery.
Additional Information:
The Kernel is underclocked by default. Both Cluster are underclocked to 1,344/1,536 GHz respectively, resulting into HUGE Temperature improvements. However, due to public demand, V2 features the ability to disable the underclock (in case you need to make some baked Eggs real quick, whatever). All you need to do is run this code after boot (Kernel Adiutor has the abilty to execute scripts at startup, just a reminder).
Code:
echo "0:4294967295 1:4294967295 2:4294967295 3:4294967295 4:4294967295 5:4294967295 6:4294967295 7:4294967295" > /sys/module/msm_performance/parameters/max_cpu_freq
What it effectively does, is resetting the max clock limit for each core to the default (unset) values, allowing you to set whatever frequency (from the ones available ofc) you want.

Additional Information:
Some stock kernels require different Recovery Images than AOSP Kernels. We set an end too this, and fixed init_sony, rather than using some very outdated software which somehow works. This means, you might need to use a different recovery with this kernel if you're currently on a "stock" recovery. We're hoping that other stock kernel devs adapt our solution, so we can set an end to the old scripts.

As mentioned in the thread title, this is for .224, so obviously you can flash it on stock rom.
Not sure what you mean with stock recovery though.
Trying to install the zip file with TWRP 3.0.2 and got this error
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file '/external_sd/(folder where i have the zip)

Does your folder have weird characters or spaces in the name? Please try moving the zip to another directory.

Which TWRP 3.0.2 recovery are you using? I use oshmoun's MultiROM TWRP, and it works very well! (You don't need to install or use the MultiROM part of it.)
Thanks for your great work. I ran into an issue with root acting weird after kernel install. It actually messed up binary folders. I have no idea how but apps were getting root denial with this awesome kernel.
Intsallation went ok with twrp 3.0.2.0. So no issues there.
Have you guys noticed this kind of behaviuor with the kernel?

ok sorry about that. I think I should update the recovery thread to mention that it's not maintained anymore.
Yes there is a device check, but usually if that fails then it would tell you what it was expecting (in this case that'd be suzuran, E5823, E5803).
Could you please try the multirom recovery. It's basically TWRP only with multirom additions. The multirom recovery works pretty well regardless if you have multirom installed or not.
Good to see another kernel in the panorama! As soon as i get the latest MM update, i'll surely test it.
However i'm interested in the standby consumption during night, did you test it? every stock based kernel-rom combination seems to be plagued by high drainage even in offline mode without particular wakelocks

After installing the multi recovery ( via fastboot, zip file had the same problem) I install zip kernel without problems, thanks so much!
But now I have a new problem, can not update supersu binaries, got an error, I tried to install stable and beta supersu and same result with both, anyone with the same problem?

Yep. I have exact the same issue. Su wants to update binary without success. It doesn't matter which su I use.
