Yeah!! Thanks @Myself5, @Eyenseo and @tomascus, we really appreciate all your hard work, v11 installed and working flawlessly :), tested on latest cm nightly and mokee.

Thanks again!!

EDIT. Reporting buggy sound after some days using v11 in Sirius, when you rises volume, the sound goes crispy (dirty). Returned to v10.2 and it works well on any volume.

Sound is totally screwed on v11

@Myself5 v11 has totally screwed up the sound, had to revert back to v10.2 and everything is back to normal.

Any chance of getting a fix for this? A v11.1 maybe?

Thanks in advance for your amazing work, Cyanogemod and M5 Kernel makes the z2 the best in its class.

V11.1 is coming

Hey folks

After various reports on different devices, we reverted our sound changes for the static noise with headsets. It seemed to cause more issues than it was fixing.

Therefore, our changelog for 11.1 is quite small.

Changelog:
  • Fix sound again by reverting the previous sound fixes

As always, the build progress can be seen here: http://myself5.de:12345/job/M5Kernel All Devices/

Sometime I get blank (yet lit up) screen after reboot/poweroff. I reset the phone and get Optimizing apps after it boots. I am on official CM12.1 + latest M5 kernel, no overclock.
Any ideas?

The question would be if that ever happened before, on older kernel versions. I right away don't really know what would cause this.

It seems this kernel does not have custom voltage for 2457mhz freq .... on the voltages table some frequencies are missing

only 2457 is missing, but I'm not sure why - it should not matter though, as that frequency is used rather seldom.
I would need it because I wanted to overclock my device to 2.5 like Z3 and on 2572 I get a lot of crashes no matter what voltage I use , I think that's then end of stable frequencies on my device , despite the fact is a PVS12

    I am NOT resposible for any damage done to your device, your neighbor, or any other things you like/hate.

    Introduction:

    This is my first kernel for any Android device. I created it because I want to get the best out of my device. It initially started with some optimizations regarding SaberMod 4.9 compatibility but I tought why not optimize it even more.


    About:

    This Kernel is based on the official CM12 kernel, therefore it should work with any Rom using the stock CM kernel too (Like Carbon and Liquid). I run it together with Carbon here, all tests I do will also be done using Carbon. The Kernels features will get more with time ;)

    Features and Commit History:

    Check 2nd Post!

    Installation Instruction:

    THIS DOES ONLY WORK ON UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER!

    When you're on CM/a CM based Rom:
    Flash the zip file in recovery

    When coming from Stock:
    Flash the boot.img included in your ROMs zip file using fastboot. Flash a CM based Rom then and flash the Kernel zip file again as the Rom overrides the Kernel.

    V11 is compiling

    Hey folks,

    I just started the build of V11. It contains considerably most of the changes done till now, @tomascus did a very good work with that. He merged Linux Kernel upstream up to 3.4.111, which is the newest 3.4 Kernel available. We ofc also merged the CM upstream, and tomascus also merged some improvements to f2fs and zRAM. In addition to that Eyenseo fixed the static noise on highend headphones. In addition to that, I'd like to welcome Eyenseo and tomascus to the team, they will maintain the Z2 (as I sold mine recently) and tomascus, who will maintain the Z1 (we were looking for a Z1 maintainer since quite a while).

    This thread is hereby reopened, and I will add Eyenseo as a Contributor so he is able to edit the OP. He will be your new Maintainer and also work on the Kernel. I'll still be around of help is needed. Have fun with Eyenseo guys :)

    Furthermore, we'd like to announce that this might be the last 3.4 M5 Kernel build (unless we find some time to keep it updated for LP). The reason is: M will use the Sony AOSP trees and the 3.10 Kernel. Hence we are going to start working on a 3.10 based M5 Kernel as soon as we can, in order to be ready once M builds are released. (Which should be soon)

    You can see the current build progress here: http://myself5.de:12345/job/M5Kernel All Devices/

    Changelog Version 11:
    • Probably the last 3.4 M5 Kernel release, we will start working on M5 Kernel based on the Sony 3.10 AOSP Kernel soon.
    • Merge CM Upstream (Includes merge of Sony 23.4.A.1.200/23.4.A.4.6)

    V11.2 is out

    Hey Folks,

    As some of you know, my Server died recently, including all the data on it. I thankfully meanwhile found a Backup from the 21st of December 2015, but that means that the V11.x builds are gone. Thanks to the community, we got some of the newer builds back, however not all of them (some devices miss V11.1-Permissive for example), which is why I decided to start a new (11.2) build after finish to setup my server. That is now. I also updated the changelog for 11.2, stating it is what it is. A rebuild of 11.1.

    Thanks for your patience and lot for the builds you guys had uploaded during the Server downtimes.

    Regards,
