Thanks for the info!

One more question. Is this only my problem frequencies do not stick in your kernel using Trickster? Unfortunatelly I do not own Faux's app :)
I have used Flashify for flashing your boot.img and it worked rather ok :)

Cheers!

this can be used on .36/.55/.69 all use the same kernel sources :D

Nice, so this statement (below) in op does not really apply to Z2 yet and was a cut and paste from you other threads (template) lol :)


newer kernels wont boot on older stock ROM or ROMs based on older FW, you will get bootloops!


Time to give DoomKernal ago go on mine with 55 (When get to a PC). :)

Just a pity there are no Zips yet for this and advance stock as would be nice to be able to change or update on the fly. :(

Good to hear your getting a Xperia Z2 Sir DoomLord

Is CPU/GPU OC or even fast charge an idea at all?

Voltage Control?(this one feels obvious to me but id like conformation)

CPU & GPU overclock will soon be implemented!
Fast charge patches are ready!

The new chips have good AVS capabilities so may be manual voltage control might be skipped...

This kernel should be up to speed (feature wise) with my Xperia Z1 kernel in the next few days!!

Feeling quite snapy but charging is bit slow put on charge at 10% took 3hrs. Loud sound is working fine although not very loud but you can feel the difference.

Hmm well i don't care for voltage control too much, i do like to under volt some, lower heat and less battery use but very mild. Little helps though.

Could you explain what AVS Capability is?

Could not wait till got home so tried out one of the img flasher apps from Google Play. Everything seams to be working well so far :).

@DooMLoRD seams theres no DooMKernel logo screen, is that normally or just have not had time to add?

So if I'm on fw 69 and unlock bootloader, can I just flash this kernel instead of doomlords other cwm-recovery one, and it will give me cwm recovery and rootable phone?
And fur example I could then flash romaur from recovery?

Dooms post above answers half your question does it?

And in the change log it says it has CWM Touch recovery
(and by it i mean doomkernel)

Rooting has nothing to do with a kernel unless it has auto root
You can however flash a SuperUser or SuperSU flashable zip to obtain root

    [ requirements ]



    [ how to install my kernel ] (via recovery) [RECOMMENDED]

    1. download the kernel package
    2. save it to the sdcard
    3. reboot into recovery
    4. flash the kernel package using recovery
    5. reboot from recovery into system
    6. the device should now start booting
    7. enjoy the kernel ;)


    [ how to install my kernel ] (via fastboot)

    1. download the kernel image
    2. save kernel to the folder containing fastboot binary
    3. flash the boot.img using fastboot:
      Code:
      fastboot flash boot boot.img
    4. reboot from fastboot
      Code:
      fastboot reboot
    5. the device should now start booting
    6. enjoy the kernel ;)




    [ tips / recommendations ]


    1. before u report any battery drain issues please read this:
      [GUIDE] HOW-TO Properly Evaluate Battery Life and Provide Useful Reports

    2. faux123 has posted very nice info regarding most features



    [ my kernel sources ]

    Just a statement regarding kernel source: The Kernel Source is released for all at GITHUB repo given below. BUT Free software does NOT mean no work or time was spent working on it. A lot of my free time has gone into patching/testing this kernel/features integrated in this kernel. If you use my modified kernel source in parts or in its entirety, I kindly ask you mention its origins and to send me a github pull request or PM whenever you find bugs or think you can help improve my kernel hack further. This way the entire community will truly benefit from the spirit of open source.

    Thank you !

    so guys I have been **** busy with work... started a new job (Product Manager for Mobile) about 3 months back and workload had gone up in the past few weeks... when i had time my dev laptop was at service center and when my laptop was back i was/am busy with job :(

    anyways trying to slowing get back to android development...

    unfortunately sony hasnt released any compatible kernel sources for the Z2.. we are asking them daily to upload these sources via github issues and twitter...

    there are no sources available for 17.1.2.A.0.xxx


    I will try and update the advanced stock kernel atleast...


    didnt i tell you guys some time back that you should be happy that i have time to release new versions of kernel ;)


    regards,

    DooMLoRD



    @DooMLoRD

    Could you set the SELinux policy to Permissive by default, (or total disable via fauxclock somehow if at any way easy)
    it seems to be more anoying than useful

    When ever you get your laptop back :p
    id donate for you to buy a secondary dev laptop but my wallet is as flat as my Z2 xD

    Sent from my D6503 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

    its already set to Permissive


    My mistake :)

    Also @DooMLoRD any chance zz-move govenour could be added as it's the best govenour I've used especially for battery life or is it no good for us on the z2?

    post kernel sources link for that governor, i will have a look...


    Doomkernel default is the same as stock but this depends on your setup

    Given the large amount of features doomkernel has you can opt for performance, battery or both and anything inbetween as well some other features such as gamma control and power suspend

    I usualy like to use doomkernels features to my advantage, giving me better performance and battery than stock

    Hope this answers your question :p


    Sent from my D6503 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

    yes exactly thats the point...


    Hi @DooMLoRD, will you be uodating to 438 sources or are you waiting for 4.4.4 :) Also will you be adding any of the sugestions posted since your dev system went down? Thanks for your great work pal :)

    no sources for anything after .402 (almost 3 months now)...


    @DooMLoRD

    What did you change in the charging section that it takes 1 hour longer to charge with Doomkernel v09 than with Yadli Kernel v3 (which is said to be almost stock)

    Charging with Doomkernel v09 = 231 Minutes

    Charging with YadliKernel v03 = 172 Minutes

    Same charging equipment!

    Both tests made after a fresh reboot, fauxclock should NOT change settings on boot!

    hmmm i am on .314... will check this once sony updates kernel sources and i merge them into my kernel source...


    @DooMLoRD

    pls patch your kernel for .314 its worse to life without it :fingers-crossed:

    THX

    read above comments...


    You can't use custom kernels on locked bootloader.. Thats why your friend stuck at bootloop... Unlock bootloader and flash... Let your snapdragon fly!!

    (y) {thumbs up!}

    Thanks!

    They are probably to busy with Z3...

    Sony is busy with Z3, Z3 Compact/mini & that new mini-tablet...
