[Q] Kernel Sources Released Impacts ? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi There,
I have read that Sony released the Kernel Sources.
Does this mean that Custom Kernel could be soon on available for our LB XZ ?
Sorry for noon question but not fully confident with Sony's security.
Thanks

No. You can't run custom kernels on locked bootloaders. Sony have always released kernel source and that has no bearing on running custom kernels on a locked bootloader.

What are the available kernels for 4.3.1

Hello,
i just installed slimBEAN 4.3.1 on my SP and i was wondering wether there are any kernels available to flash except doomlords which is meant for stock ROM (said so in requirements right?)
I am looking for OCing and the usual optimizations that come with a custom kernel.
Thanks in advance!
There's no custom kernel based on aosp yet (other than the one that comes with the ROM). We still have to wait for some dev to make one.

Until the sources are released custom kernels won't be coming out. All the kernels in the present 4.3.1 roms are basically hacked together to work from the older sources. Building custom kernels further would just lead to more problems. Wait for the 4.3 and 4.4 sources and you'll see custom kernels popping up here.

[Q][LB] Install Ubuntu Touch

Hey guys! i would like to install Ubuntu touch on my Xperia z, but as per my previous thread i am unable to unlock my BL.
Is this possible, and how would it be done?
Thanks in advanced!

You can't. Any rom that requires a custom kernel cannot be flashed on a locked bootloader.
You are limited to stock based roms with stock kernels only.

[Q] Question about Doom Kernel Z1-DooMKernel-v11.zip

Hello,
can you tell me about the features and enhancements of Doom´s kernel Z1-DooMKernel-v11.zip ?
Can you run this kernel on top of firmware 14.2.A.1.136? My device is already rooted.
What Linux kernel does Doom´s kernel v11 use? Is it based on Sony kernel sources or stock Android kernel sources?
Thank you!

if you read the post it tell you all the enhancements, are you just rooted or unlocked BL?
Hi you need an unlocked Bootloader for this kernel and an 681 ROM. Android 4.4 which Doom Kernel are for 4.3 I don't know

Thank you. Does Doom put a README with the requirements into the ZIPs? That would be nice.
Ok, I run a 136 software.
My BL is unlocked. Why does a kernel need an unlocked BL?
Thanks.

Just read the OP, all instructions, features and requirements are there.

[Q] Which Kernel for which Custom Rom ?

Previously I owned a rooted Xperia arc. At that time, almost all custom roms used to mention supporting kernels. But here in Z1 development, I found that Custom Roms don't mention whether they run on stock kernel or DEV Kernel.
I want to know it because if custom roms are running on stock, then I skip Unlocking the boot-loader. If they running on DEV kernels, how ll I know which kernel for which rom ??

[Q] Looking for a ROM for Xperia SP.

Could someone tell me what roms officially support the Xperia SP please?
And does anyone know what the MOST stable rom for an Xperia SP is?
Thanks
Stable rom?Use stock or stock based roms.There are many roms out there in development section.
Now don't ask which is best rom or which is better because it is against the xda rules.

Like umair42 said, stock should be the most stable, but you can look for CM11 for locked or unlocked bootloaders (depends on your phone) on this forum. I can recommend CM11 by Bagyusz for LBL.
