By this kernel we can increase Mic gain in 4.4 Rom so volume in video recording can be increased and overclocking on stock Rom is a pain in a** because of many thermal protections but in cm Rom there are less so we can bring out the real power of this chipset with this kernel an on cm roms the battery life is way better than stock Rom and with this kernel we can undervolt which will increase the battery life and in future we may not get official 4.4 so after this long speech you all will know why this kernel is needed for our device

Yes, It work only with CM and AOKP roms. DoomLorD's kernel work with stock, but roms which based on CM11 and AOKP are interesting.

it will be nice to have such a kernel on a stock rom

i don`t use cm yet cuz in recording the volume is too low ... and the photos i take don`t see on full screen .. tha`t very annoying for me .. anyway if i move again on CM I would definitely such a kernel !
Sorry for my english

Hehe, @kostazol nice one

I already told you I will try to make a port of MEOW for this device.
Although, I don't want you to raise donations before I start working on it.
Donating is ALWAYS optional and only a sign of appreciation about the work that was done.
Also, this does not increase my motivation in any way. It's more of a time issue.

I will try to release a test build in the coming week. Please stay tuned and have some patience.

Thanks

btw, can he backport f2fs, fix the sim and breathing light as well?

jeroenqui · Jan 24, 2014

Ok, I made a first attempt to port it.
Please test:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0sY8nIwzcLrMk5scWpZRXlNQUU/edit?usp=sharing

Requirements:
Ofcourse, unlocked bootloader
A CM11/AOSP 4.4 based KITKAT ROM (NOT FOR STOCK ROMS)

Install:
Flash the .zip from your recovery
Reboot

Notes:
This is the first version, altough it should work fine, don't expect it to work very stable.
This will replace your recovery with the newest TWRP

Please report the first findings here. When it's graduated I will make a seperate thread for it in the development section.

Does this kernel have doubleTap2Wake and Sweep2Wake ?
Big thanks for you. It works on cm11(fxp), beanstalk and cyanfox.

After 5 attempts beanstalk work.

Bugs:

kernel has very low speed before loading bacause of it i can't use recovery. Recovery loading 5 minutes and after it i have freezes in recovery.
TWRP has resoltion 1920x1080, but display of ZR has resolution 1280x720 because of it we can use this TWRP(many buttons located outside the screen)
loading on cm11 and beanstalk more than 2 minutes. ( it is normal?). It start with freezes(on animation logo) after freezes leave me.
It work with cyanfox but it start more than cm11 and beanstalk.(it takes 10 minutes in the fist boot, after 1-2 minutes)
CPU frequency does not increase more than 1134mhz in interactive

nikhil18 · Jan 24, 2014

CPU frequency does not increase more than 1134mhz even if I put min and max as 1728mhz and the recovery is working I use a theme for twrp because it is not resized but it is too slow it hangs a lot but flashing is fine and booting time is too much and fauxsound is working great and no option for changing GPU governor

He can't test it because he have xperia Z.
Please try it:
You need wipe cache after install, also unplug usb, and wait 10-15 minutes(the fist loading). I don't know why but while it boot it has freezes and it doesn't have freezes after loading. Other loading needs about 2-4 minutes

Hey if you don't want to test it don't come here and argue, or expect anything bad happening at your phone at your fault!
at least he made a build for us!

I also have this problem, and i think starting frequency is low, because of it we have freezes during loading.

jeroenqui · Jan 25, 2014

Aight, as I expected it has some problems, but at least it boots and basic features work. Will do my best to solve some of the problems in the coming week. Please keep reporting the problems here. The next version will be released in a new thread in the development section. When it's the time, I'll announce that here as well.

Do you need MEOW kernel for ZR?

Yes, I will donate for it.

No, I will use stock kernel or other kernel.
