Differences from the stock kernel:

Stock = kernel from last nougat 32.3.A.2.33 ? I think yes looking the source but maybe it's better to add this info
Could I flash over AndroPlusKernel v43?

 

[emosis]

Is it ok i Flash it My E5803?

Based on stock kernel 32.3.A.2.33.
Yes, You can. Part of the patches were taken from AndroPlusKernel.

Is it ok i Flash it My E5803?

This kernel only for E5823, on E5803 operability of a kernel isn't guaranteed.

Unfortunately your kernel put in crash the system ui of this mod https://forum.xda-developers.com/cr...ort-xperia-xzs-loop-ui-pixel-overlay-t3585178

Can you be more specific?

 

[cioce]

Try to flash that mod and you will see that system ui crash when Android start, I have flashed back androplus kernel and all was back ok.

I'm on altvolt's mod ROM (v3.6), and it's the same. UI crash.
Even zac's kernel give same bug.

 

[emosis]

Using E5803
Stock Rom .33
Flashed this kernel ..
after a day there is no crash , error or reboot..
Seem everything is ok !

 

[altvolt74]

he has to add to commit this change to the kernel to allow system customization to the kernel

+CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_BOOTPARAM_VALUE=1
+CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DISABLE=y
+CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DEVELOP=y
+CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_AVC_STATS=y

if not any moded app will crash ...super user mod relay on this changes

also init.d will be nice aswell enable core control

are you merging androplus source whit latest sony ramdisk or your just cherry picking from androplus to stock kernel?

These parameters are already included in config, except CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DISABLE=y.
Soon I will add support init.d.
From AndroPlusKernel I took several patches.

i have also a crash with my modded rom, i´m on https://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-compact/development/rom-stock-z5c32-3-0-376r2dau-t3570248 this rom.

I compiled your kernel myself and it works quite well on my custom AICP rom.
But for some weird reason after a while the screen doesn't take any touch input. Buttons still work at the time.

I installed Green_Kernel_v0.2_e5823.zip and my phone had a bootloop and for some reason I didn't get any logcat informations of the problem.

 

[GreyLeshy]

Updated the kernel to version 0.3.

Who needs root, use Magisk-v13.

For non stock firmware, kernel optimization is not yet in the plans.

 

[ModyCZ]

Kernel works nicely but it seems I've lost notification led. Anyone with the same problem?

 

[DJHasis]

Updated the kernel to version 0.3.

Who needs root, use Magisk-v13.

For non stock firmware, kernel optimization is not yet in the plans.

I tried your new build, still a bootloop. Do you know how can I get proper debug information when booting?

Write the script and attach it to the kernel.

#!/system/bin/sh
dmesg > /data/local/tmp/dmesg.txt

 

[GreyLeshy]

Updated the kernel to version 0.4.

The kernel on the stock firmware is pretty good, power consumption is normal.

 

[GreyLeshy]

Compiled a test kernel is not for stock firmware, check. link

Not for stock firmware means... Los based or?
