[KERNEL][ZL/ZQ] 78Kernel 4.3&4.4 29-aug-2014

see the second post for more information



Use:
For stock or custom rom based in stock 4.3 FW 10.4.B.0.569 or 10.4.1.B.0.101 and 4.4 FW 10.5.A.0.230 or 10.5.A.0.233

NOTE:
For users of the new firmware, there were changes in the kernel of 10.4.B.0.569 for 10.4.1.B.0.101! Screen rotation does not work!

Installation:
Flash via recovery
or
extract boot.img and flash via fastboot

Important note:
The version 5 and more newer
was replaced mpdecision by AutoSMP, I added a script to zip by removing dependencies mpdecision, then it is highly recommended to install via recovery, otherwise you will get two hotplug controllers, which will cause problems!

Please, do not mirror!

If you come from another custom kernel such as DoomKernel is required to install the proper drivers WIFI
If you come from the stock kernel is not necessary flash
Flash this - Thanks for @TAL333 for tests

Bugs:
Indicate possible problems

Tips:

For Overclock:
For people who use overclock, and the necessary modification of a rom file "sysmon.cfg"
This kernel has overclock up to 1.7GHz
then you should use this:
Flash via recovery sysmon.cfg Overclock 1728000

Note: If you use overclocked other frequency is necessary to modify sysmon.cfg for equivalent frequency
and obviously, if you do not overclock is not necessary to modify sysmon.cfg
Because modify sysmon.cfg?
Because without it the max frequencies not stick in all cores

For people who do want DoubleTap2Wake:
Use this app created by @Soheil_rf, thanks for this :good:

or

Flash this:
Enable DoubleTap2Wake

aaah, but I want to not use it, and now?
Go in /system/etc/init.d and remove 78DoubleTap2Wake
and restart

ChangeLog:

NEW! 78Kernel v5 KitKat
Removed MPdecision, substituted by AutoSMP (incredible gain battery life without losing performance) (updated)
Force the other cores to match CPU0 when changing frequency or gov
New personal CPU freq table with overclock
Add init.d folder
Maximum frequency increased to 1566MHz on boot (accompanies the change in sysmon.cfg)
Add smartmax CPU governor
ramdisk changes:

78Kernel v4 KitKat
USB force 500Ma charging current on unknown chargers
Tune overclock for best performance
Kernel sched optimization
Use XZ kernel compression (smaller size kernel)
Set min and max frequencies on boot (384/1512)
New personal freq table with revisited vdd levels (run so smooth)
Overall vibration softer modified by default (besides being sexier also preserves battery)
Disable some debug
Tune read_ahead_kb for 512
Add TripNDroid scheduler and set as default scheduler
and more ...
check my github for details
ramdisk changes:
LED warning enter recovery changed to yellow (for a change )
Vibration warning enter recovery get softer and shorter

78Kernel v3 KitKat
Removed cpu governor conservative, gov_msm, ondemand, powersave and userspace
Removed test and noop, add deadline and row, set row as default scheduler
Compiler optimizations
Optimize slub
My custom Overclock MSM APQ8064 up to 1728MHz with mod vdd_levels (Not undervolt as in other versions)

78Kernel v2 KitKat
Compiled from sources Sony firmware 10.5.A.0.233

Hi all
I did not forget you guys! :highfive:

I'll update soon follow (or create another)

78Kernel completely written from scratch on new sources KitKat Android 4.4.4 - 10.5.1.A.0.283

Features: (yet)
Removed MPdecision, Substituted by AutoSMP (gain incredible battery life without losing performance)
Force the other colors to match CPU0 When changing frequency or gov
Add init.d
Overall softer vibration modified by default (besides being sexier Also preserves battery)
Disable debug various
Tune read_ahead_kb for 256
Add conservative governor
Add deadline IO scheduler
Add 192MHz slot 800mV
Add support for CPU voltage control
Reduce buffer size to save kernel memory size (more free ram)
Add double tap to wake (default is not enabled)
CWM recovery by Philz Touch 6.48.4 (thanks to @ [NUT])
TWRP 2.7.1.0 (thanks to @ [NUT])
and more ...

Notes:
mpdecision will be automatically copied to /storage/sdcard0/backup_mpdecision (backup)
The successor ASMP is already enabled by default
192MHz frequency is set by default and will be loaded at boot
I have also fixed a script that did not work well sometimes setting ondemand as default governor (interactive use)

I think that is all :good:

Any doubts just ask

Even more!

Ladies and gentlemen!
v4 released :highfive:

read the first post for ''tips overclocking''

the second post for changelog :good:

I'm running 1.7GHz overclock using a frequency table and tuned particularly written by me, and the speed and excellent, not noticed high energy consumption, reboots and etc, then more than suitable for everyday use!
Leave a Feedback! :good:

Att Gustavo RD78

New version! :good:

Check 2 post for changelog

The vibration pattern of my Xperia ZQ / ZL is not very nice, I think very strong and cause noise to
then it is now possible to modify further increase or decrease the intensity of vibration

Attached is a script that I am currently using ...
So ... sexy!
