[KERNEL][Z] Rojak Kernel (v5) for Omnirom (20141105)

[aidfarh]

Rojak Kernel for Xperia Z

WARNING!!
This kernel allows you to set the CPU frequency beyond the stock rated frequencies. Do this at your own risk! I will not be responsible for any damage to your device if you do so!

INTRODUCTION
This is a kernel for Xperia Z running Omnirom. It may or may not work on other roms.
Any feedback is welcome.

FEATURES

• Linux 3.4.86
• Gamma control
• Sweep 2 Wake
• Doubletap 2 wake
• USB Fastcharge
• CPU overclocking up to 1836 MHz
• Intelli-Plug
• Additional CPU governors - intellidemand, intelliactive, preservative
• Additional I/O scheduler - bfq, sio, fiops
• GPU overclocked to 450 MHz
• Additional GPU governor - simple
• Voltage control
• Sound control
• Intellithermal (NEW)

REQUIREMENT
This kernel work with Omni 4.4 for Xperia Z. It's tested on Omni 4.4.4 nightly build 20141031. Please update your rom if you're using an older version.

INSTRUCTION
Make sure you're using Omnirom build 20140324 or later. Download here. Flash the zip in CWM or TWRP recovery.

NOTES

1. To change CPU governor or min/max cpu frequency (i.e. over/underclocking), first disable MPDecision and enable Intelliplug using an app like Fauxclock or Trickster Mod. To over/underclock, use Omnirom's performance setting. Third-party apps might not work.
2. To use Gamma control, see this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45436325&postcount=3. Credits to alnikki25k.

Congrats on your kernel, mate! Looks good, will try this

 

[Vishalkris]

Will this work on ROM based on Omnirom like for example Dirty Unicorn...

I honestly don't know. Please try and provide feedback.

Im wondering the same thing.Tell us when you test please.

ok first im updating my rom DU...new test build then once booted in to the system will flash the kernel and update how things go...:angel:

---------- Post added at 02:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 AM ----------

flashed the kernel on Dirty Unicorn Build 25...every things good...no graphic glitches like Meow Kernel...
Bugs:
1) WiFi doesn't work. @aidfarh it would be good if you provide a Wifi module zip file till u find a way to resolve the issue.
2) A little digestible lag... while scrolling list view in settings and i also while scrolling side wise in the app drawer...

Suggestions.
1) More CPU governors. i know will happen today or tomorrow
2) Release Wifi Modules till the kernel is compatible with omni based roms
3) GPU overclocking can be peaked a little more higher (meow kernel had achieved it 450Mhz u can look in to it)
4) Never leave devloping this kernel as its the first for Omni and we got limited choice when it comes to kernel based on aosp and cm

But still for this stage the kernel is "remarkably good". lots of high expectations from all the omni rom and omni rom based rom users
Keep up the good work

I can confirm that it perfectly working with aslyum rom latest..nothing find unusual.. Post it soon regarding the battery life..


Edit: wifi reception was lower than stock omini..

1. I expected that wifi might not work with other roms or older omnirom builds. The latest omnirom kernel has updated wlan drivers but it also need updated wlan firmware to work. Try flashing the attached zip that contains the updated wlan firmware and see if it works.
2. Lags are hard to quantify and hard to fix. Try other CPU governors or I/O schedulers and see if things improve.
3. What CPU governor to do you want?
4. GPU overclocking is planned, but I can't promise anything.

FINALLY!!!! When i sow the thread title i couldn't believe my eyes

Long time we are waiting for a kernel that support Roms that are not based on stock, specially when u bring to us Gamma control and fast charge pleasure.

So i want to say thank u aidfarh from all of my heart, and yes plz don't stop this, keep the development up as much as u can cuz we need u
(now i feel like i am a little girl who asking too much LOL).

I am about to flash PA today, will flash it and I'll try your kernel to see how it goes, and if it doesn't then i'll back to my favorite ROM Dirty Unicorns then i'll try again.

Thank U :victory:

off-topic: hahaha ROJAK kernel. typical orang malaysia in naming mixed things!

back to topic, could you include FIOPS IO scheduler by faux123? According to faux, intellidemand/active works the best when combine with FIOPS scheduler.

Thanks for your suggestion. I'll take it under consideration.

OK.. It's working on DU 15/03/2014 build, had no WIFI but after flashing wlan firmware the WiFi get fixed.

I don't have any random errors, FC's, Reboots, lags... everything is perfect.

One thing I've noticed is Gamma control, the sittings doesn't stick after reboot and i don't now if that is the same for fast charge or for the
o/u clocking.

Will keep testing...

 

[SeeMeNoMore]

Its working flawless on infected's omni build 0324. Hope u keep updating this Bad ass. No issues at all so far. Cant wait for the sound control! Thank you dude.
