[Kernel][Stock 5.1.1] Manjuu Kernel for Sony Xperia C3 D2533 / D2502

[notauseranymore]

This is a stock kernel for the Xperia C3 D2533 and D2502 running stock 5.1.1 firmware.​

I am learning from scratch in my free time so updates will be very slow or non-existent, please bear with me until then. Right now I only have a kernel image which must be flashed through ADB (you need to look up in the forums here to install it), nothing else is needed.
Make sure your phone's bootloader is unlocked and has a working recovery, use this guide to do it if you haven't done so.​

Basic requirements:

• Phone is rooted and bootloader unlocked
• You have a working recovery for your device
• You know how to backup and flash images/kernels with TWRP
• ADB and Fastboot works perfectly in your computer and phone
• You know how to use ADB and Fastboot, otherwise Google it

Install instructions
Just flash the zip file through TWRP, it will take a minute or two to finish up. If you're using Magisk, you need to reflash the Magisk zip to patch the new kernel.

Manjuu Kernel v5

Changelog:
V5
- Remove Linux patch (It was the wrong way to patch this kernel and will cause conflicts)
- Revert commits from another kernel (also caused some conflicts and increased battery drain)
- Added SafetyNet patch

- This is not tested. Please flash UnSU, the kernel, then Magisk. Right now Magisk v12 will result in high CPU usage, use v11.6 instead. You will trip SafetyNet if you have Xposed or SuperSU in your device.​

Older changelogs:

V4
- Downgrade Intelliplug to 4.0 for better compatibility
- Cleaned up some coding
- Merge some bugfix and improvements (Refer to github commits)
- Now that we have a flashable zip, driver modules are added as well

V3
- Update Intelliplug to 5.0
- Added overclock to 1600Mhz
- Some compilation optimizations
- General kernel bugfix (refer to github commit)
- Update linux kernel to 3.4.5

V2
- Added Intelliplug hotplug
- Added KCAL support (get control app from here)

V1
- First build with Linaro GCC toolchain

Make a backup of your boot.img with TWRP, copy the backup file also into your PC then try flashing it. This might break recovery so be prepared to reflash them if it won't boot. Let me know if it succeeds/fails.

Nobody has yet to tell me about D2502 so this could be a chance to test it out, thanks.

What is the benefit to my c3 if I flash the kernel? I'm just wondering.

Basically better performance, and better battery life. It also fixes a few bugs here and there, so hopefully it's also more stable.

Be more specific. How did you try to flash it?

through command window

through command window

Weird, it should work. Try renaming the file to kernel.img and the change the name in the command line as well.

When you installed the fastboot drivers, did you disable signature​ verification in windows first? If not, google how to do it then reinstall drivers and reboot.

If it's still not working try using TWRP instead.

Alright, renamed it already. Btw, what odexed?
This should work on stock rom and the deodex patch as well. Is your phone's bootloader unlocked?

Hi, well thats grt that this kernel works fine. But you mentioned about some rom(Xperia m2 Xperianze z2 rom) working in xperia c3 with this kernel. Can u please give the link to it. Xperia c3 dual do not have any custom rom till date. If the rom given by you works then you will be a God to al the xperia c3 users. I tried to search the rom u mentioned but I found nothing.

Thanks
