The basic merge of MEOW-kernel features on the new base by Thomas is done (including the 3.4.98 kernel.org upstream merge)
The good thing is that it looks like the compatibility with other ROM's will be preserved!

There are some things to solve, like WiFi breaking and some minor glitches while scrolling but it shouldn't be long untill this version will be released. Hopefully within a couple of days. Thanks for your patience.

Been mentioned a lot, just search for it. But since I won't make an OT post, I'll be nice. Bring up the min-frequency a 100MHz and it'll disappear.

Hi. Will you update version for xperia ZR? People with dogo wait your kernel. Your kernel is very stable, performance and works with Mokee roms. Usually realese version of mokee is downloaded 145 times for 1-2 days.

Bug :: Strange Behaviour (Google Camera problem)

I bought a new Xperia Z

1. I flashed PAC-ROM with built-in Meow Kernel the latest one 0714.

2. Then flashed latest Meow Kernel. (Cause i wanted to have Meow boot screen).

3. And then finally flashed latest PA-Gapps (Stock one) with .forcenocamera option.

I did all this day before yesterday.

I observed lots of reboots whenever their was some activity related to camera. I was not able to install google camera from play store. And I kept having errors on PAC Console something related to some s*** (I don't really remember the word).

Today Just Now.
Carried out factory reset from CWM recovery.
1. flashed PAC-ROM with built-in Meow Kernel the latest one 0714.
2. And then flashed latest PA-Gapps(Stock one) with .forcenocamera option.

Somehow I am able to install Google Camera from play store. And no reboots so far.

Using Cpu Tuner App it works like charm

Patience, dude. jeroenqui does amazing work and within the time frame that he finds best, I'm 100% sure that he's going to deliver the best possible product. :)

I'm planning on running the updated Kernel with _infected's CM11-based ROM. I'm expecting the duo to be amazing.

meow kernel working on infected's CM11? no phone FC issue ?

Hey jeroenqui, is there any way that I can flash this kernel (the upcoming update, that is; which will also be my first time flashing this kernel in general) without installing TWRP recovery with it? I'm on CWM recover and would like to stick with it for the time being.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, for now CWM is included in the next version. Also the previous 2 or 3 versions have CWM included, so you can safely flash it.
In the future I have plans to add dual or triple recoveries.

Use flashify on play store to install twrp or cwm.
Or download the twrp file from the twrp homepage and install with flashify.
Easiest way to do it , no need for adb...

    Well, I was waiting untill CM merged the .569 Sony updates, but it's taking way too long. So I decided to start working on it again and try to fix the issues. I hope to put out an updated version in the coming few days.

    If I can't solved the problem that it's not interchangable between all ROMS, I'll release seperate versions for the different major ROM's

    Please help me compile a list, but I think there are 3 ROM's with different bases:
    - CM11 based ROMS
    - PAC
    - Omni

    So, I'll release 3 different versions for these, and we can see which version fits other ROMS as well.

    But that's just in case :D

    Sorry to have kept you all waiting so long
