[KERNEL][Z1C] UNOFFICIAL DooMKernel [v22][Stock KK .757/.108/.157/.270]

[OmarEinea]

UNOFFICIAL DooMKernel for Xperia Z1 Compact !!!


​

Introduction:

This is an unofficial compiled from Xperia Z1 DooMKernel's sources, the only changes I have made to the original sources are:

1. Adjusted defconfig for the Z1C (only what was needed for it to boot in the device, the rest is unchanged)
2. Compiled using Ubuntu 14.04 and using the Linaro GCC 4.9.2 toolchain with Cortex-A15 optimizations
3. Ramdisk adjusted for the Z1C, so you get all the goodies from the original DooMKernel
4. Updated PhilZ Touch recovery to v6.48.4 & CWM to v6.0.5.0 & TWRP to v2.7.1.0

Requirements:

1. Xperia Z1 Compact
2. Unlocked Bootloader
3. Stock Sony KK firmware .757/.108 or any ROM based on it

Instructions:

1. Visit the Kernel's Original Thread in the Z1 forum, and make sure you read all the instructions there
2. THANK @DooMLoRD for his awesome job there, and for letting me build this unofficial release, Donations for him are also welcome.
3. [Recommended] Backup your /system partition (especially because I'm including new kernel modules)
4. Download the ZIP file below, and flash it in recovery, or you can extract the boot.img from the zip and flash it in fastboot mode (via flastool or command line)

Features and to do list:

• The extensive list of features can be seen at the Original z1 Thread
• Will try to find a way to enable T2W

Damn...I am on .681 firmware. I will update my phone to .757 tomorrow cause it's too late now.Just for the record...did you solved the DT2W feature.Is it working?Thanks.

Hmmm, only if I compiled this kernel earlier (before merging the 757 sources) to get it work on .681
about T2W, it isn't working (as I mentioned in the "to do list"), and when I asked DoomLoRD about why isn't it working, he said:

It will depend on other touch screen driver... Not worth enabling it IMHO

but still I'll be working on enabling it, hopefully all I need is time

...

OHMYGAWD! Finally a working custom kernel for our devices! It was long overdue! Big thanks to you, friend!

@t2w feature: the problem is, that the current implementation of t2w is not correct. It keeps a wakelock to check on your screen, thus preventing the device going into the deep sleep. Somebody should analyze Z2 sources to find the workaround Sony is using.

ps: I know that being greedy its bad, but still... Could you plz help @Androguide.fr porting Pimped kernel (cm based) to z1c as well? =)

Well then if that is the case, I'll rebuild the kernel tomorrow after disabling the T2W code, that should be useful until we figure out
how to actually make T2W work.

And yes I'll try my best to make pimped kernel work on our beloved device

Anyway I can flash this without the boot logo? The one that replaces the Sony logo just before Xperia. Thanks!

that would be easily done if you extract the boot.img to get the zImage & initrd.img, the logo is in the initrd.img (logo.rle).
if this is hard for you to change it, I'll change it for you and pm you the link.

 

[jenz25]

I would appreciate that, Sir. Thanks.

Please PM too with the stock logo kernel.Thank you.

Very good Antutu Benchmark score! :victory:

 

[birnee]

Nice score, did you change any setting? All I get is 31-33k

Disabled "mpdecision", OC-ed to 2.4Ghz and set GPU to "performance" governator.

 

[MrMmmkay]

omarainea you are the hero of the day!!

 

[e2zippo]

Nice one!! I suppose it's not possible to use this on Cyanogenmod?

Cheers!

Nope, but I'll be working on compiling Pimped kernel for our Z1C which works on cm11,
hopefully I'll be able to do it soon.

You can also ask @Androguide.fr, since he has already tried porting it. Hey, he might even incorporate it in his source code, after you port it, thus making it official and freeing you from need to compile it =)

 

[MrMmmkay]

Hmm, strange, Looks like voltage control dont work, and I can "only" OC to 2,3 ghz, not 2,4ghz like the kernel should do, I am using Android Tuner for that, does it work for anybody else?

I have the same problem. It shows 2.46 but goes only to 2.26.

Do you also use Android Tuner?
