I am NOT responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war

YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me
for messing up your device
I will laugh at you.

in case

That's interesting, I always wanted to increase the vibration intensity since I own this phone!!
I'm really considering the option of unlock the phone now
If I'm not wrong it's possible only with your kernel, since with stock rom there's no such "vtg_level" file right?

Vibration control is only available on custom kernel :good:
Good luck in your unlock BL and enjoy!

Since you can try, is it working also by increasing the value or is 29 a max value above which you can't go?
Thank you in advance

The scale is very sensitive
I did some tests here (I like the slightest vibration, so I use value 24)
Default is 29
The maximum is 31, the system is not able to go higher, it is also good for security, but I feel it slightly stronger :good:

Thank you again man, as soon as I downloaded all necessary firmwares and files I'll unlock and install you kernel :good:

You could tell what firmware you using?
I am using .62 here without any problems said

Just tried, same problem here on a D6603 with a stock based rom ( fw 23.1.A.1.28 ).
The exact error is "Error Camera not avalaible" and the torch is not appearing at all in the quickpanel

This kernel is built from sources 23.1.A.0.690 and 23.1.A.0.726 (we do not have the sources of the current firmware)
and ramdisk is firmware 23.2.A.1.62

ramdisk can be the problem since they have some differences on camera
I suggest using a newer firmware ex .62

I use Firmware. 28 and moonwalker prevolution 1.0

@Gustavo RD78
Firmware: 23.2.A.1.62 is just a carrier update of T-Mobile and Vodafone (also a million times said in Z2 forum) and not newer then .28 !! So nonsense who said .62 is newer then .28 well atleast newer bloatware in that case

So you know that bro @eskamhl

Sended From My Z3 On Moonwalker Provolution V1.5 To Your Eyes !

I understood but as friend Pandemic said that .62 firmware is only a branded one from carriers, in fact all roms are still based on the .28.

Rom .28 and .62 were never quite the same, I found myself some differences on the camera (kernel and ramdisk must work together)
What I meant was that as I am using ramdisk .62 is indicated using a fw .62 to avoid these problems that were cited
.62 firmware is not only a carrier update T Mobile! The I am using is of .62 firmware from Claro Brazil!
Check xperifirm for yourself and see .62 in several other carriers not bloatware

An application present in .278 and .62 which are not found in other versions

If you still want, I can build a kernel with ramdisk .28!

I just want to make it clear that this has happened to me once I was with FW .726 to .278 ramdisk.

It would be great since I don't want to put a branded firmware and in addition I prefer to use an already avalaible custom rom
Thank you anyway

Ok
v2 is up

Here all was working fine with MW, did you tried to flash the rom -> boot into the os and then flash the kernel?
