i'm looking into it. it was booting about 3-4 days ago (the build i am running on currently)
this one was build on the aokp buildbox. maybe some recent commits broke something, i'll get that fixed asap, and put up a new build soon.

Dude,your kernel is derped.The kernel with TWRP don't turn on the phone.I will try with the cm11 kernel.
EDIT: Flashing with cm11 kernel works fine.
EDIT²:At the moment everything working fine.Thanks for this ROM

I assume that that new kernel will work for this since a cm11 kernel will work fine that one should too right? Nope that breaks wifi...

By this kernel we can increase Mic gain in 4.4 Rom so volume in video recording can be increased and overclocking on stock Rom is a pain in a** because of many thermal protections but in cm Rom there are less so we can bring out the real power of this chipset with this kernel an on cm roms the battery life is way better than stock Rom and with this kernel we can undervolt which will increase the battery life and in future we may not get official 4.4 so after this long speech you all will know why this kernel is needed for our device

Hehe, @kostazol nice one
I already told you I will try to make a port of MEOW for this device.
Although, I don't want you to raise donations before I start working on it.
Donating is ALWAYS optional and only a sign of appreciation about the work that was done.
Also, this does not increase my motivation in any way. It's more of a time issue.
I will try to release a test build in the coming week. Please stay tuned and have some patience.
Thanks

cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool if true.
don't understand why xperia custom development like tribal pattern, good things don't get submitted to the official repo.
why?????
---------- Post added at 02:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 PM ----------
btw, can he backport f2fs, fix the sim and breathing light as well?

Ok, I made a first attempt to port it.
Please test:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0sY8nIwzcLrMk5scWpZRXlNQUU/edit?usp=sharing
Requirements:
Ofcourse, unlocked bootloader
A CM11/AOSP 4.4 based KITKAT ROM (NOT FOR STOCK ROMS)
Install:
Flash the .zip from your recovery
Reboot
Notes:
This is the first version, altough it should work fine, don't expect it to work very stable.
This will replace your recovery with the newest TWRP
Please report the first findings here. When it's graduated I will make a seperate thread for it in the development section.

Does this kernel have doubleTap2Wake and Sweep2Wake ?
Big thanks for you. It works on cm11(fxp), beanstalk and cyanfox.
After 5 attempts beanstalk work.
Bugs: ​
kernel has very low speed before loading bacause of it i can't use recovery. Recovery loading 5 minutes and after it i have freezes in recovery.
TWRP has resoltion 1920x1080, but display of ZR has resolution 1280x720 because of it we can use this TWRP(many buttons located outside the screen)
loading on cm11 and beanstalk more than 2 minutes. ( it is normal?). It start with freezes(on animation logo) after freezes leave me.
It work with cyanfox but it start more than cm11 and beanstalk.(it takes 10 minutes in the fist boot, after 1-2 minutes)
CPU frequency does not increase more than 1134mhz in interactive

CPU frequency does not increase more than 1134mhz even if I put min and max as 1728mhz and the recovery is working I use a theme for twrp because it is not resized but it is too slow it hangs a lot but flashing is fine and booting time is too much and fauxsound is working great and no option for changing GPU governor

He can't test it because he have xperia Z.
Please try it:
You need wipe cache after install, also unplug usb, and wait 10-15 minutes(the fist loading). I don't know why but while it boot it has freezes and it doesn't have freezes after loading. Other loading needs about 2-4 minutes

Hey if you don't want to test it don't come here and argue, or expect anything bad happening at your phone at your fault!

Is any one else having the problem of CPU frequency not going more than 1134mhz and there is no intelliplug option

I also have this problem, and i think starting frequency is low, because of it we have freezes during loading.

Aight, as I expected it has some problems, but at least it boots and basic features work. Will do my best to solve some of the problems in the coming week. Please keep reporting the problems here. The next version will be released in a new thread in the development section. When it's the time, I'll announce that here as well.

There our three methods (That may work) to try if it does not want to flash in twrp they our
1. Unmount system then flash
2. Factory Reset, reboot to recovery again then flash
3. Flash CWM and in this case try flashing a alt kernel
Edit: Windy is up

Installed with no problem using TWRP 2.6.3.0 :good:
Backed up using TWRP (Was running PAC ROM android 4.3)
Factory wipe, + wipe Dalvik & cache to be sure.
Flashed LiquidSmooth
Wipe Dalvik & cache again - just incase
Reboot - no problem - running LiquidSmooth
I'm now going to flash the provided Slim Gapps zip. Will report back if there's a problem

Testing beta
I will flash this rom also once i'm off work. Thanks for bringing this to the tab Z!

I am curious about this rom. Does it have double tap to wake?

Not yet or i didnt see where to activate it...but double tap status bar to sleep yes :angel:
SplitView aka multiwindow is working perfect...only Pie; i had to reboot to get it work.
And getting some fc's here and there...will bring back logcats tomorrow

How about looking 2 posts before?

So far this ROM is working excellent on Pollux in Dalvik.
Been using for two days for a total of around 24 hours and not had a single major problem. Very impressed its the slickest ROM I have used yet on 4.4.
I was using cm11 fidelity, then got a random reboot halfway through a game and got stuck in bootloop so thought I'd give this a try.
For anyone having issues, I had flashed cm11 fidelity inc mods then booted into CWM, didn't reflash kernel from laptop (no access at minute) just factory reset and wiped cache and dalvik cache.
Not major but once orr twice on MX player had the common sound bug, where the sound seems to stall for half a second, didn't have this on fidelity but had it on every other 4.4 ROM. One other issue is if you get a notification with headphones in, it still plays through loudspeakers too.
Very well done with this ROM guys thank you.

I dirty flashed it and i dont know why people says to modify first post i got it first try and apparently im not the one...
Well, someone else having trouble to mount SD?
I tried then a clean install and same thing, and also tried it with omni kernel...same thing, also no sd access from rom.

Could someone please test this new boot animation it is sized for this tablet, it is not flashable you will need to manually replace it, rename the 2560.zip to bootanimation.zip

[KERNEL][D6502/D6503/D6543] AndroPlusKernel v72 [DISCONTINUED]

I found Sony merged Z2 source into Z3 source like unified kernel!
So I build it for D6502/D6503 23.0.1.A.3.12 and it worked fine
Note I don't use Z2 for daily driver now,
so I can only confirm it's working without SIM.
It should be OK with SIM, though.
[UPDATE 3/1]
I sold my Z2, so I can't check if new versions work on Z2.

What is FOTA kernel recovery?
[/B]
NOTE: This is old info as we can use official recovery partition on newer ROM.
Xperia doesn't have recovery partition for user,
but we have FOTA kernel partition for OTA.
Since we have to unlock bootloader and OTA won't work on unlocked,
we can re-use useless FOTA kernel as recovery partition using Dees-Troy's "extract_elf_ramdisk".
With FOTA kernel recovery, you can update your recovery without updating kernel.For example, TeamWin provides TWRP images of FOTA kernel for Z2:
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/232You can flash images to FOTA kernel by fastboot command like
Code:
fastboot flash recovery fotakernel.img
To enter into FOTA recovery, press power key when LED is on.
How to restore DRM functions?
When you unlock bootloader you will lose X-Reality, noise reduction and so on,
but you can restore them!
Original thread is here, but I updated steps for Z2.
1. Download zip from original thread
* Choose KitKat version (for 4.4) or Lollipop version (for 5.0)
2. Place zip in internal or external storage of your device
3. Reboot into recovery and do Factory Reset
4. Reboot into flashmode and flash FTF with Flashtool
Any FTF is OK, but of cource use FTF for same version you are using now.
Wipe: Check APPSLOG and CACHE
Exclude: Don't check
5. Close Flashtool, unplug and plug your phone and reopen Flashtool, then relock bootloader
Click BLU icon to show relock button and click it.
6. Flash FTF (same as 4.)
7. Close Flashtool, unplug and plug your phone and reopen Flashtool, then unlock bootloader

8. Reboot into fastboot mode and flash my kernel
9. Reboot into recovery and install DRM Restore zip
10. Reboot
11. Done!
After doing this, do not restore old data since it will revert DRM restore.
You can restore system with recovery and use Titanium Backup or something to restore app data.
Note: When you flash new ROM (not kernel), you must flash DRM Restore zip.
If you get "net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED" when connecting xda,
please disable PrototypeProtection with Titanium Backup or something similar.

Flashing now

Thanks for the work, will give it a try soon
existenz 4.0.0 is based on stock 4.4.4, so it's supposed to work?
can you share your OC voltages? i recently switched to abricot, now 2,2ghz is unstable at 900mV …

So far so good, boot without any issues and network working fine, I'll report back if I find any issues =D

I'm also using Existenz 4.0.0 and stable at the moment, haven't tried over-clocking yet, but at 2265 Mhz, it is working fine.

It's older 4.4.4 firmware 23.0.1.A.0.167, so compatibility will not be 100% but it will work.
I set -36mV for all since I had reboot when I was using Z2 as daily driver and set -48mV.
Just for reference, I'm setting -84mV on Z3 and working well.

Great to see more development on kernel. Already download but not tried yet since I'm currently testing abricot kernel. Can you update with 167 kernel later sir?

Everything apears to work fine
Exept that that you have said isnt working, aka 3.2Ghz OC
If you need a bootsplash ill make one for you unless your capable of that your self @AndroPlus
Edit- OOM Values apear messed up and cause app crashes in certain apps

Update?
23.0.1.A.3.12 is the newest firmware for D6503
I can't revert kernel source only for .167, so I won't make it.
Anyway, it will work well on .167 since hugoprh said it's working on .167 based ROM.

Thanks, but I have to *force* loading of custom bootsplash on newer kernel and I think it takes some seconds on boot.
It should be one or two seconds, but I prefer shorter booting time.

Oh. Sorry sir. My bad. I don't know that 3.12 is newest than 167.

No. Unfortunately it is not working on ExistenZ 4.0.0 based on 167. Bootloop.
Down reverting would be awesome...

This kernel did work on stock .167, 3.9, 3.12 very well. Reboots when PimpmyZ1 is opened or any other rooted app is opened.

Ahh then it depends on the su permissions.
Is it possible to fix?

I will try this week too in order to confirm incompability.
But dual recovery still works?

NO, dual recovery wont work

This is ot, but how did you done the theming of statusbar, navbar like lolipop i already asked several times noone respond

I'm on eXistenZ and I confirm that dual recovery is working.
Kernel triggers pink led and Sony logo
Dual recovery triggers green led and a vibration with black screen but worked.

I'm using a xposed module, Flat Style Colored Bars
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/flat-style-colored-bars-t2925521

Is there a hidden frequencies or because I'm in .167?
I only see 2.9GHz as highest freq but pimp my ROM says the opposite, there is two more steps 3.0GHz and 3.1GHz

Testing!.. I don't like intellimm with intellithermal and intelliplug with OC CPU 2.5Ghz and GPU 657mhz, for games is so slow, maybe for save battery, on antutu benchmark I had 26870 points. But I like Smartass V2 with intellithermal and intelliplug with OC CPU 2.5Ghz and GPU 657mhz, on antutu benchmark I had 41862 points. Great!! my best score (I was testing Abricot Kernel and I had 39100 points with fast hotplug and Smartass V2). and I/O Scheduler SIO with 4096 on SD-Card and eMMC in both kernels.
Excellent work!.. Now I will testing the battery, and the battery with screen on.

[KERNEL][V][5.1] NeoKernel - Feel the difference!

Introduction:
Welcome to the official XDA thread for NeoKernel, a standalone, feature-rich and highly optimized custom kernel that will push your phone to its limits!

Disclaimer:
By downloading and installing this kernel, you agree that I cannot be held responsible for any damage caused to your device while installing or using it. Please keep in mind that it's YOU who chose to do these modifications to your device!
Also, be aware that improper usage of kernel features can cause serious damage to your device! Only use the features below if you know what you're doing!
NeoKernel Features:
Based on latest CAF kernel sources (LA.AF.1.1.c1)
Compiled with ArchiToolchain 4.9 and several Cortex-A9 optimizations
Overclocking up to 1.62 GHz
Underclocking up to 162 MHz for maximum battery life
User-customizable CPU Voltage driver (thanks to faux123)
Intelliactive and IntelliMinMax CPU governors (thanks to faux123)
In-kernel Thermal Driver (thanks to franciscofranco)
SIO and FIOPS IO schedulers
F2FS (Flash-Friendly File System) support (Performance comparison vs EXT4)
FauxSound support for maximum audio gain control (thanks to faux123)
Latest TWRP recovery, including a Materialised TWRP theme by z31s1g
Good to know:
NeoKernel will override any currently installed recovery on your FOTAKernel partition. That means, recoveries installed via Xperia Recovery Manager or similar apps will be replaced with the latest TWRP that is included in this kernel.
During installation, NeoKernel will recursively set a UID of 1023 for your internal storage. If you happen to use a ROM that expects a 2800 UID (which is quite unlikely, actually) and want to uninstall the kernel, make sure to flash the uninstaller zip from "Downloads" section after re-flashing your ROM zip.
The sources used to build this kernel can be found here.
Requirements:
Unlocked bootloader (Obviously )
A CM12.1-based ROM (CM12 is not tested yet)
Installation:
If your ROM includes CM recovery, fastboot flash the boot.img from kernel zip first!
Boot into recovery
Flash latest NeoKernel build (check "Downloads" section)
Reboot
Downloads:
Latest NeoKernel build: Link (Last updated: Sep 29)
Uninstaller zip: Link (Restores SONY's default storage permissions)
Uninstallation:
To uninstall NeoKernel, just reflash your current ROM.
If you face storage issues after uninstallation, also flash the uninstaller zip from "Downloads" section.
Changelog:
- 20150929:
Fixed missing recovery splash screen
- 20150824:

I've been waiting for this
Thank you, master!

I cannot flash this zip in Cynogenmod Recovery. I got this message.

Edit:
I cannot find the solution for above problem
So I copied modules folder 24 files to system and flashed your kernel via Flashtool
Currently using ROM : Resurrection Remix 5.5.3

Actually you can't flash anything with CyanogenMod Recovery
Flash boot.img from zip with fastboot. then flash zip with TWRP

I copied zip modules folder files to correct path in system and set permission, flashed kernel via FlashTool. Do I really need to flash again this neo kernel zip?
Update:
I flashed zip again.
Then I suggest OP need to update install instructions for the CynogenMod Recovery also. [emoji4]

My ROM SElinux status is Enforcing. Do I need to change it to Permissive? I really don't know this option. But I saw Neo's CM12.1 ROM using Permissive option.
If you don't mind, can you describe the difference of this Enforcing and Permissive option?

It's a security feature in Linux that allows only certain known files to be executed, if enabled.
Permissive is the development mode, more or less. You see possible denials in logs but the security feature itself is disabled.
If you want to use Xposed, Viper4Android or a similar mod, you need permissive SElinux.

Nice work I wanted to make a smiliar kernel but you were faster than me

I had a week with NeoKernel.... and I'm forced to go back to Resurrection's own Kernel.
I'm on Resurrection 5.5.3 and it does not want this kernel.
I had several soft reboots during this week and can not connect them to any combined reasons.
Setting 162MHz as the lowest did give me pain. Sometimes it took 4-5 seconds to get the elements of the front screen, going in to the apps list took another 4-5 secs.
So I raised it back to 384. And no led. I had no led activity with this kernel.
Today I had two black deaths... I had to remove the battery.
So... I think Neo Kernel and Resurrection ROM just do not like each other.
I tried all the ROMs, but stayed on Resurrection as somehow Lux doesn't work on PAC, ICP or Carbon, but DU and Res. But the sound doesn't work on last updates of DU....
Great job Neo, but had to go back to "stock".

Can anyone confirm the led issues?
I might have to include the lights hal from my cm12.1 builds in this kernel zip.

I am also using Resurrection Remix.
But I haven't faced any reboots.
also I haven't faced black death issue. I think you done some misconfiguration with the kernel.
I really like Neo kernel. Because of recovery and kernel tweaks. My only issue is battery draining. Beacause Resurrection Remix kernel got 3 hours screen time and neo kernel got maximum 2.15hours with undervolting. Can someone suggest best governor and i/o ?

Thanks for the feedback!
I recommend sio scheduler for battery life, also reduce max cpu clock to 1200MHz (if you can afford a minor decrease in performance) and optimize your voltages.
Using IntelliMM governor here, with great effects on battery life.

Thread updated with the latest NeoKernel from my new CM12.1 build. Includes the previously missing recovery splash screen. If you don't miss it, there's no need to upgrade.

you mean now all your cm12.1 from now on will have the NeoKernel? cuz previously I had found difference in the kernels provided here and in previous (sep 9) 12.1 build!

This standalone NeoKernel is acutally just the extracted kernel files from my CM12.1 builds.
