firmware diferences

Hello
Someone can tell me the difference between firmware I9305XXUEMKC and I9305XXUEML8, both are 4.3, already searched but found nothing.
Which is the best? ...
thank you

It's hard to tell what's the difference, because we have no changelogs between different firmware versions. We can just try it on our own and notice (or not) any difference.
"Changelist" might be considered as some factor. Higher one should mean 'better' or at least 'more advanced' firmware, that's all.

It seems like you had updated your bootloader to 4.3, then Boeffla kernel might cause problems for you...
I would recommend staying with stock kernel or Agni's PureStock kernel, it is said to be free of these random freezes, reboots, etc

I flash again the stock firmware, i already tried agni, its stable but has conflit whith the Apk GL2sd, and i need use it for more space.
Thanks for your answer, and continue the good work, boefla kernel is the fastest, i reached 22300 antutu.... but isnt stable...

Stock ROM vs Custom ROM

With all the hype about the official sense 6 ota rolling out I've been considering reverting back to stock w/ root. The reason is I dont use many of the features that custom roms offer, I like how sense 6 looks and prefer it to be stock (no init.d support etc).
I dont care about features or performance, my only concern is battery life, so how does the stock rom compare to custom roms on the HTC One in terms of battery life?

I would say stick to stock as much as possible because custom roms have bugs and u have to wait till devs finds any solutions :angel:

I find that quite interesting
you are on xda-developers but recommend staying stock... somewhat of a controversy there, no?
and stock doesn't have bugs?

I have to agree with slogger. I tried most of custom ROMs on xda and none of them can match my stock 4.4.2 in combination with Elemental kernel. I have perfectly smooth, fast phone and my battery lasts around 50 hours off charge with moderate use with CPU OCed to 2.05 GHz

Alright then I guess im going to run an RUU later. One thing though, how do you get a custom kernel to flash ontop of the stock rom?

The same way you flash a kernel on a custom rom. Flash it from custom recovery. Make sure that the kernel you want to use is Sense compatible

I read that that wont work, since the stock rom has a secure kernel. You would need an unsecure kernel in order to be able to write another on over it.
But ill give it a shot regardless.

Just flash it via custom recovery like you wuld flash a ROM

but dont you need an unsecure ramdisk for the kernel to flash successfully?

I unlocked my bootloader and flashed Elemental right away, so I guess not

No you don't. The secure kernal affects for example deleting system apps or any bloat software that you don't want. It will be back after a reboot. You can flash anything in recovery no probs

[q] how to flash stock kernel

I WAS WONDERING HOW I CAN FLASH THE SONY'S STOCK KERNEL ON A CUSTOM ROM LIKE CYANOGENMOD AND AOKP
BECAUSE ALL THE OHER KERNELS HAVE REALLY BAD BATTERY LIFE
IS THERE A WAY TO RUN CYANOGENMOD ROM ON SONYS STOCK KERNEL ???
I LUV THE SONY STOCK ROM BECAUSE OF ITS BATTERY,BUT I ALSO LUV CYANOGENMOD BECAUSE OF ITS CUSTOMIZATION AND LOOKS
PLEASE LET ME KNOW, IM STUCK GOING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN SONY'S FIRMWARE AND CYANOGE

First, here are steps in turning off caps lock:
http://www.wikihow.com/Turn-Off-Caps-Lock
Secondly, please search before you post.
Thirdly, if somehow you just can't find what you're looking for:
No, you can't use Sony's kernel on CM11 based ROMs.
You can flash Doom's advanced stock kernel which is just Sony's stock kernel with added recovery via recovery if you want to switch back to stock-based ROMs. It is found in Doomkernel thread, please search for it.

Even we would really like to see AOSP/CM/MIUI on stock kernel, there's no luck...
But...
There are some projects trying to build MIUI on stick kernel so join them and try to help...
..hehe.. Here are steps for turning off caps lock...haha....good one...

CM,PAC other custom roms need custom kernel only..
there are no chances they work on stock kernel....
stock based roms only work on stock kernel

so in conclusion
is there any custom rom out there for xperia z1 that has a really good battery life ?

build7 always brick my phone
hi
i'm trying to install build 7.
My phone has locked bootloader. Installed version is #build6.
I have used philz recovery to flash build 7. To flash #build7 takes 2 minutes long.
After flashing, i reboot the phone using reset recovery option of philz.
Phone gets stuck, black screen, without sony logo, and i have to reflash to .207 stock rom using flashtool.
What am i doing wrong?
thanks in advance.

Right. Got me confused there, as I was already pretty sure kernels are just for UBL. Why use the LBL version of CM11 on UBL then?

I guess it just happens sometimes. When I first flashed build #6 with twrp, everything went well, but something must have got corrupted along the way as the phone was stuck on Sony logo, and the screen just went gradually from orange tint to black from there on with continuous reboot loop. Fresh install helped though. And I've done everything the same.
Go back to stock,root, install recoveries, wipe cache, dalvik and system and install build #7. Should work just fine.
P. S. Another question from me, maybe not entirely related to only this ROM, but to flashing ROMs while using link2SD in general, as I'm sure some of you guys are using it. Is there any way to avoid some apps getting totally borked after each update? I know you need to recreate the mount scripts after flashing, but it just doesn't work for select apps each time, and I have to go through a tedious process of unlinking each one that is screwed, rebooting, and relinking. It's getting annoying with weekly updates (Thumbs up MRSteve <3).

Not sure if it's an issue with the nightly build you were working with this time, or something's actually wrong with build #7, but I don't seem to be able to install any CM Theme. Each and every one of them seems to install just fine, only to spit out "Failed to install <appname>" notification after a minute.
Anyone having this problem aswell?

This ROM or CM11 Official ?
Wich is better ? Keep my bootloader locked and use that ROM or unlock my bootloader and flash the latest CM11 Official Snapshot (M11) ? Few months, i flashed CM11 for locked bootloader and I had lot of anoying bugs/freezes. Can I expect better with that ROM ?
Thank's and sorry for my bad english.

This ROM is completely stable, and has no apparent bugs whatsoever. The only thing I noticed is worse than stock is the battery life.

Nope, I only use 4.7 Google Toolchain. I thought about building with Linaro, but it just doesn't seem to be worth it(I have a life, you know, and buildijng with Linaro + O3 can take a long time )

I had this buid for a month and it worked flawlesly, but today i got an idea to install cm11 m11 update that was constantly bothering me in notifications center. I downloaded it and flashed it with recovery but then a stop. My screen wont turn on and there is no boot animation. When i hold power button i only get a slight vibration and then nothing, just black screen. I tried pushing that small orange button with pencil but nothing happens. Only my green led indicator shows up when the phone is plugged in wall and i hold volume down button. Please help, what should i do as my xperia sp is indespensable for me because i live in dormitory 200 kilometers from my home town. Please

Why on earth did you do that!? You'll need a computer with you. You will sadly however, have to start from the beginning. Get a stock ROM .ftf, flash it via Flashtool, then start over (root, install CWM, flash CM11 weekly build by MrSteve555)
The reason why your phone is bricked is because you have flashed a ROM for unlocked bootloaders (this being said is the M11 that you updated your phone). Your device does not have an unlocked bootloader. It does not start up due to the kernel installed on your phone is not stock (cyanogenmod's official kernel of course). On locked bootloaders, using a custom kernel is impossible and will cause bricks.

I haven't used Official CM11 on my SP, as my bootloader is locked, so it's not me to ask. For me, the phones eats through battery really fast, with screen on, it's like 10 minutes for 1%. Definetely not a days worth of use when gaming.

kernel enquiry

Ive got a stock rooted uk moto x 4.4.4 kitkat with xposed, what is the best custom kernel to run for better battety life

You're not going to be able to flash a kernel with a locked bootloader, which is what I'm guessing you have since you didn't mention it in your post.

Roms and kernels make very little difference in battery life.
Battery life depends on signal strength while on data, setup and usage. ?

Stock kernel if you are on a stock (or stock based) ROM.

Unlocked
