trying to install this on latest sony release and i get error unsupported android version

@Freak07 did you looked into this ?

Edit:
@Freak07 ???
We got totally ignored right here 😂


No problems flashing on my end on latest sony firmware.

Straight from the FAQ:

Question: How to report bugs properly?
Answer: Have a look at post #3 in the linked thread. The linked guide is a pretty good starting point.
Before reporting any bug make sure you´re running on a stock configuration. That´s means you´re not using any mods, tweaks in kernel managers or other root tweaks , magisk modules, scripts or other modifications that alter various functions like sound mods, data traffic, sleeping behaviour, scheduler, magical battery tweaks etc.
Try to describe the issue as detailed as possible! Give your exact setup, like rom, magisk version, kernel version.
Is the issue reproducible? Does it happen frequently?
Please make sure to meet the points described above, provide logs as detailed in the link above, otherwise debugging is a lot more time consuming and harder. (kernel flashing apps usually support exporting logs of flashes too) If these requirements aren´t met and I don´t find time to either reproduce the issue myself or I´m not able to reproduce the issue myself, reports might just be ignored. If you can already reproduce the issue and provide logs it greatly limits the amount of time I have to spent until I figure out how to reproduce it.


No logs and modules were used that alter android version so the version check fails. Or a wrong zip was flashed.

    Kirisakura-Kernel for the Sony Xperia 1 III

    Hello everyone,

    To keep it short: Here is Kirisakura - Kernel for the Sony Xperia 1 III aka Sagami. Sagami is the internal codename for this years development platform of Sony Mark III devices. Please note this kernel is made to run only on Xperia 1 III.
    I would appreciate if everybody that flashes the kernel, reads at least once through this opening post and the following ones.

    Kirisakura - Kernel is designed to bring a handful of beneficial features to the device, while ensuring excellent performance and smoothness to get you safely through the day!
    If you expect a custom kernel to magically improve your devices battery life manifold and this is your only priority then this might not be the right place for you.
    However the kernel is built to keep battery life close to the same as you would experience the on stock kernel while being tuned to perform better in various UI related benchmarks. The same benches are used by google to verify and ensure UI smoothness on the Pixel devices.
    There´s also a cpu-battery saver mode that cuts back the CPU max- freqs, but without the disadvantages like delayed notifications from built into the system user-space power-saving modes.
    If that got your curious, I welcome you to continue reading if you´re still interested!

    The kernel includes a lot of improvements and contributions from other developers as well. Without this kernel would not exist.
    A big part of improvements originate from @arter97´s, @kdrag0n´s and @Sultanxda´s work. Many others contributed in some way or another to this kernel.
    A big thanks to all of them at this place!

    Now lets continue with a list of features in the next paragraph!


    Main Features:
    - Based on latest kernel sources from Sony for Android 12 and intended to be used on the latest Stock-Firmware
    - compiled with Clang 14.0.7 and built with -O3 speed optimizations
    - Linux-Stable-Upstream included to 5.4.202
    - upstreamed CAF base for the Snapdragon 888 (qcoms internal codename "lahaina")
    - CPU-Battery saver to be able to restrict max cpufreqs on the fly, without enabling powersaving modes that might cause missed notifications (more info here)
    - include important fixes/improvements from kernel/common
    - reduce power consumption during deep sleep
    - remove logging while device is suspended
    - add SSG-IO scheduler from samsung (less overhead, better tuned towards android)
    - disable various debugging mechanisms for drivers which are not needed on a perf build (e.g. binder)
    - disable selinux auditing (we don´t have to adress selinux denials running a stock rom)
    - disable unnecessary CPU errata for our specific SoC
    - implement LRNG (thanks @arter97, see arter kernel OP for more info )
    - Flashing the kernel will keep root!
    - Flashable via EXKM, FKM or TWRP (if available) on a rooted system!


    EAS related features:
    - Implement dynamic WALT-Window size depending on current FPS, collecting information about CPU-Load to provide more precise information for the scheduler
    - EAS implementation patched up to latest CAF state
    - updates from kernel/common
    - scheduler updates from sd888/ 5.4 kernel

    CPU related features:
    - Power saving workingqueues enabled by default (toggleable in EXKM)
    - Change various drivers (WLAN, MM, audio, charger, power, thermal, glink etc) to use power efficient workingqueues. This compliments EAS in general
    - improvements to cpufreq/times/stats
    - vdso32 patches as found on Google Pixel devices (brief documentation here) (CAF 5.4 default, keep for documentation)
    - remove event debug logging
    - disable broken irq detection, disable debugmon
    - improve suspend/resume from audio driver (caf-upstream for audio-kernel)
    - cpuidle: wake only cpus for which qos has changed (this allows cores to keep idle states better)
    - disable debugging during sleep states as per qcom recommendation
    - remove RTB logging to reduce overhead
    - disable trace_printk as it shouldn´t be used on production/perf kernel builds
    - enable suspend_skip_sync to save power during suspend/resume
    - disable edac and coresight (following google on the pixel kernels)
    - disable jtagv8 debugging as recommended by qcom for perf builds to avoid potential power, performance and memory penalty
    - disable s2idle in favor of deep idle state -> improves deep sleep drain (google initially used 2idle for improved suspend/resume latency on pixel 3 and pixel 4, but disabled it on pixel 5. qcom followed suit for sd 888, but apparently didn´t see google reverting it on pixel 5. Other OEMs such as Xiaomi or OnePlus already disabled s2idle on their SD888 devices in favor of deep- read more about s2idle vs deep here)

    GPU related features:
    - GPU driver updated to latest CAF-State
    - gpu/kgsl improvements from pixel 4/pixel 5 kernel
    - add low_prio_worker thread for gpu driver (Improves performance when tearing down processes (eg, via LMK) and not blocking currently running UI from submitting work to the GPU

    File System related features:
    - upstream BFQ-MQ to latest state in linux-mainline and default to 128KB readahead
    - improve memory allocations in kernfs
    - ufs improvements from pixel 4/ pixel 5 kernel
    - improve GC as to not interfere while user interaction is happening and prevent possible jitter or latency spikes

    Network related features:
    - Wireguard Support (Details)
    - advanced TCP algorithms enabled
    - use bbr as default TCP congestion algorithm (fasted algo according to this excellent research from @kdrag0n found here )
    - improved networking drivers from caf-upstream (especially wifi)
    - remove unnecessary wakelock from WLAN driver to reduce thousands of very short wakeups during a 7 hour deep sleep period
    - improved bluetooth performance (¹, ²)
    - Enable support for TTL spoofing

    Memory related features:
    - Speculative Page Faults left enabled (1. 2) (CAF 5.4 default, keep for documentation)
    - Fix various memory leaks in different subsystems
    - improved mm with patches from mainline
    - patches from kernel/common
    - improve memory allocations in various subsystems, video encode/decode, kernfs, cgroup
    - Backport to enable CONFIG_HAVE_MOVE_PMD (see here) , thanks @arter97
    - Backport to enable CONFIG_HAVE_MOVE_PUD (commit here) , thanks @arter97
    - free more RAM by removing unused reserved memory regions
    - mm: Micro-optimize PID map reads for arm64 (improves game performance, especially unity based games such as genshin impact)
    - MGLRU added (info here and here

    Security related features:
    - Control-Flow-Integration (CFI) and Link-Time-Optimization (LTO) (CAF 5.4 default, keep for documentation)
    - Use ThinLTO which was first used in the Pixel 4 XL Android R-Kernel instead of full LTO (CAF 5.4 default, keep for documentation)
    - Shadow Call Stack (SCS) Security-Feature ( 5.4 default, keep for documentation)
    - enable init_on_alloc for even more security, more information can be found in the commit message (CAF 5.4 default, keep for documentation)


    Misc Features:

    Wakelock Blocker:
    - advanced wakelock blocker with the ability to block any wakelocks (dangerous, use with caution)
    - please read [URL="https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/08/p-is-for-power-how-google-tests-tracks-and-improves-android-battery-life/"]this for further info
    - blocking a kernel wakelock should only be done in case of firmware incompatabilities (WiFi network at work (can´t be changed) causes deep sleep to not work on the phone.) That´s the only use case I see for this feature. The kernel does not features this to improve battery life!

    Other features:
    - clean up asus drivers and fix a few warnings in kernel log
    - disable logging and debugging to make the kernel more lightweight in various places (includes binder, mm, vma, gpu, ipa etc)
    - fix several coding issues detected by newer Clang-Toolchains
    - enlarge dmesg size to ease debugging


    Flashing Guide, Download and Changelog

    Requirements:
    - unlocked Bootloader
    - USB-Debugging in developer options enabled
    - latest adb and fastboot binaries
    - working adb and fastboot environment
    - magisk root
    - a backup of stock boot.img or your magisk patched boot.img in case you want to go back to stock.

    How to flash the Kernel:
    1. Download the latest kernel.zip and make sure you have properly updated to the latest matching Firmware (check the feature list for the current firmware the source is based on). When there´s an OTA update for the Sony Xperia 1 III it takes Sony a while to release the source code for the new OS and me a while to build a new kernel. If you don´t want to face any issues, wait until I either release an updated kernel or give green light because there were no kernel changes.
    If you want to be sure there are no issues, always make sure to run the firmware the kernel is built for!
    If you feel adventurous and try in advance, make sure you have a backup ready!

    2. Flash the kernel.zip via latest TWRP (if available), EXKM or FKM app and do a full reboot.

    3. Reboot and profit.

    Android 12 Kernel

    Hey everyone :)


    So I have to be honest with this post. It´s extremely frustrating for me that there´s no source code pushed yet for the Android 12 firmware. The first Android 12 Firmware (.149) was released at the beginning of January, with another update to .211 a while ago.

    No source whatsoever for A12 at this point. It´s frustrating after 2 months.
    I understand not every OEM has the ecosystem and means of google to push the source hours after the OTA is live, but 2 months is a really long time. It´s still a long time considering the kernel is based on a completely new qcom base and probably needs to be "re-edited" (deleting comments, wip progress marks, etc) before uploading the source archive in contrast to the more "simple" A11 updates, which is probably just a drag and drop operation and happened way more quickly.
    Given Sony more or less advertises their open source ambitions in various places it´s disappointing from my perspective.


    The A11 kernel source isn´t compatible with A12 and doesn´t boot.

    However the more I got frustrated over time I more or less hacked together a kernel for A12, which is working as best as its going to get without a matching source.
    That kernel is based on latest linux-stable and latest caf-upstream, with loads of other optimizations that were not in the A11 kernel, but were contained in my other kernels for 5.4 devices.

    The only real issue on that kernel is that usb port detection is wonky. It takes a while to detect a pc and for the usb file transfer dialog to pop up.
    My old Pixel charging brick works fine ( it takes a little while to get detected sometimes), while the stock charger only works if I connect the phone to my PC usb and directly afterwards to the stock sony charging brick.
    Otherwise there are no real issues for me.


    Feel free to test, but I probably won´t be able to fix any problems until we have a source code for the A12 kernel.

    Feature Documentation:
    Here´s a brief documentation about some of the features included in the kernel that can be changed as the user desires.
    They can be accessed via either terminal, scripts or for example EXKM manager ( tools -> user settings).

    CPU-Frequency Limiting:
    Another option is CPU-Freq Limiting. You can now limit the CPU frequency to a few different levels with a sysfs interface. Original implementation is from @tbalden, I only changed it to be accessible via traditional root methods.
    Main Switch:
    sys/module/cpufreq/parameters/batterysaver
    Set this option to "1" to enable the feature

    Max-Frequency Selection (Input boosts, such as scrolling boost or app launching boosts will still apply, if touch boost restriction is not set to 1)
    sys/module/cpufreq/parameters/batterysaver_level
    Set this to "1" to restrict the max CPU-Freqs to 1,7GHZ/2,1GHZ/2,49GHZ (Little Cluster/Big Cluster/Prime Core)
    Set this to "2" to restrict the max CPU-Freqs to 1,6GHZ/1,7GHZ/2,0GHZ (Little Cluster/Big Cluster/Prime Core)
    Set this to "3" to restrict the max CPU-Freqs to 1,49GHZ/1,4GHZ/1,6GHZ (Little Cluster/Big Cluster/Prime Core)

    Touch-Boost Restriction
    sys/module/cpufreq/parameters/batterysaver_touch limiting
    Set this to "1" to restrict the powerhal from boosting over the limit defined in batterysaver_level
    Set this to "0" to allow the powerhal to boost above the values defined in batterysaver_level, but only during interaction with the Phone!

    This is for example very useful during gaming to prevent additional heat, if not the highest performance from the CPU is required. Check if the game is running fine on level 1 or 2, and you´ll notice much less heat. Powerdraw will be reduced as well.
    Another very useful trick while doing video calls or long extended navigation sessions with google maps to preserve battery or keep the phone from heating. Especially during summer if the ambient temperatures are high.
    This is a very easy way to preserve battery or reduce heat without toggling the battery save mode in settings as that restricts background data usage, which can lead to delayed notifications.

    How to pass Safetynet after unlocking the bootloader

    With the introduction of hardware backed safetynet attestation, passing safetynet has become a lot more complicated.
    Some probably remember a while ago, flashing a kernel that forced some flags was enough to pass it. However these days are gone.
    Below is a short guide how to pass safetynet on phones that are flagged to use HW attestation (such as the ROG 5).

    1. Make sure you´re running latest magisk canary.
    2. In Magisk Manager enable both zygisk and deny list.
    4. Download the latest Universal Safety Net Fix from @kdrag0n ´s github for zygisk cand flash it in Magisk Manager. Reboot.
    5. Profit
