Very nice kernel, fast and smooth - great work and port.
Anyone knows if it's possible to use any third party kernel app to boost the headset volume?
Working
Hi this is my first post, infact I joined so I could report my findings.
I would just like to confirm so far that V5 working on my Z3C using the .93 firmware. I didn't need to wipe cache/dalvik/data partitions either.
For purposes of settings configuration, I'll be using TricksterMod
For stress testing purposes I'll be using Stability Test 2.7
Overclocking
Overclocking seems to work, I'll stress test and report back with the results.
I was wrong, it is unstable when overclocking and stress testing, with the phone force rebooting 1-5 seconds in to the stability test which loaded all 4 cores. Tried 2899Mhz and 2880Mhz (were both unstable and didn't try 2.72, 2.75, 2.57 either - I might try stability testing them.) Was completely stable at 2.47GHz, and it actually stuck there, no throttling in place! I stopped the stress test when the CPU temp was around 77-80C as my hand was getting burnt! The battery temp reached about 46C. It took 10 mins of stress testing for this to be reached. When the stock kernel was in place it would begin throttling after about 1-20 seconds under full load. First 2.2GHz, then 2 then 1.7 then 1.5 and eventually 1.25 after about 2-4mins.
I couldn't do a single core test though. I suspect as most games use single core or dual cores it wouldn't get overly hot.
My opinion is that fast clocked phones should be marketed with 2 speeds. The highest it'll reach under a boost mode (turbo for Intel's i5 and i7 series), and a slower speed that it'll average out at under thermal pressure. The Z3Cs would be turbo: 2.5GHz and normal: 1.5GHz.
Governors
These are quick tests I'm performing here to provide a quick look at responsiveness and potential unnecessary CPU jump ups.
Wheatley - most of the time it's hovering at top speed when approx CPU usage is 9%, it'll occasionally hunt down to 300Mhz but then right back up to 2899MHz. This one is speedy though. Governor tunables available.
Lagfree - idles at 300MHz - 960MHz then hunts up to 2.2-2.9Ghz when needed and turns on the second core. It seems to slow back down to idle. This one seems to have fast scrolling, sliding notifications pane quickly). No governor tunables.
SmartassV2 - idles at 300Mhz, speeds up to 422-960 on core 0, and turns on core 1 at 1.2-1.5GHz for a few seconds under fast scrolling and notification pane opening. Seems quite responsive. Probably good for battery life hopefully with the responsiveness of Interactive. No governor tunables.
Lionheart - Idles at 960 MHz for a few seconds then slows down to 300MHz with the odd increase to 729MHz. Core 0 and Core 1 reaches 1.26GHz under scrolling, notification pane opening. As fast as the others. Governor tunables available.
Hotplugging
Intelliplug appears to work better than MP-Decision - now only one core is on during idle, instead of 2.
MP-Decision was disabled to avoid conflicts.
Undervolting
I've only undervolted 300MHz to 675MHz from 775MHz as of writing this post.
Tried quickly undervolting in trickstermod by setting them all about -75mV, stability tested it, appears stable. I'll tweak the voltages a bit better when I do a scaling stability test.
Issues I've experienced
Sound Control is the only thing so far that causes a reboot. However music still plays over the speakers and headphones. Equaliser works too.
Upon rebooting, the CPU top speed will set itself to 2.2GHz, despite being set higher and saved at a higher speed in Trickstermod. Certainly trivial though.
Strange thing I've noticed: On the undervolt part I've noticed that there is a freq called 3033MHz, but no 2899MHz freq. Just an observation.
Misc
Force Fast Charge confirmed working! Before flashing new kernel charge went up 5% in about half an hour. It's now up another 5% in a matter of 5-10mins. This is when plugged to my PC.
Vibrator strength - set to 20 from 31, much quieter on table and can still feel it.
I'd like to say a huge thank you to DooMLoRD and AndroPlus for developing this stable kernel. Now my Z3C is worth the £28 a month I'm paying for again. Since this silly lad decided to bork the camera, Bravia functionality etc by rooting it on the first day. I'll report back and edit the post with my findings.
Max won't go beyond 2.266 GHz, Min won't change.
Hi All,
Firstly, great job with the kernel. Our Z3C is such a capable piece of kit and this just makes it that much better.
I'm running stock, 23.0.A.2.93, unlocked, rooted.
Problem:
I've tried using both SetCPU and No-Frills and while both show frequencies that are supposedly selectable above 2.266 GHz, neither app would actually respond. Meaning the max frequency will still only be 2.266 GHz even if I tried selecting something like 2.458 GHz (which should be selectable given that stock is 2.458 GHz.) See caps.
In addition, the Min value just won't change at all from 300 MHz. The frequencies scale up and down as the load changes but I can't raise the Min (again using both SetCPU and No-Frills) from 300 MHz.
Tried: I've tried turning off stamina mode and frozen apps that could control CPU activity (e.g. I use DS Battery Saver). I changed up Governors and Schedulers. I've tried re-flashing the kernel and it still doesn't change these behaviors.
Question/Need help: Just wanted to ask if anybody else have any problems setting the max frequency beyond 2.266 GHz and/or changing the minimum frequency from 300 MHz? Would appreciate any help resolving this behavior.
Thanks in advance!

Try installing TricksterMod (from Google Play store, trust me, you'll love it!) Then go to General and set the max speed to 2.46GHz or higher, and try using the Ondemand Governor too. I noticed that it wouldn't stick properly sometimes when using Interactive governor. If it doesn't stick for you then turn Frequency Lock on. Then check in the info tab that it's hitting the higher speed. Personally I'd recommend leaving the min speed on 300MHz. If you need constant high speeds, select the performance governor.

Thanks! That did the trick!
Odd that my usual app for the job across 4 other phones - SetCPU - doesn't work on what should essentially be the same job. [emoji55]
Please make sound_control drivers work so its possible to boost headphone volume on the Xperia Z3 Compact... Thanks
Nice work, a lot of updates I like it!
Is it possible to add a change log?
Thanks!
kernel for d5803 with the .93 but not .105
i search a kernel for the d5803 with the last .93 french version of phone
.5.77
Works great! Thanks a lot
Link for Z3C_D5803_AndroPlusKernel_v10.zip is dead
Pls upload in another location.
Yay sound control is working, thank you so much you're the best!
How to make this?
Hi AndroPlus,
I'm trying to figure out how one would go about building this boot.img that you've created.
What platform and compiler are you using?
Where are you getting sources the for the kernel? This file?
c9af6fc647060fb85dd646798453ec8f 23.0.A.2.105.tar.bz2
How do you construct boot.img from zImage + recovery?
Sorry if these are dumb questions.
Edit: never mind, I figured this out.
http://developer.sonymobile.com/kno...evices/how-to-build-and-flash-a-linux-kernel/ contains most of the information I needed.
The arm version of gcc that ships with Ubuntu 14.04 worked fine - arm-none-eabi-gcc (4.8.2-14ubuntu1+6) - no need to track down any mystery binaries. I did have to make several modifications to the kernel source to get it to build. Interestingly, some of the cpufreq stuff contained code that was incorrect. Someone at Samsung needs to go look up what "sequence point" means.
The hardest part was figuring out how to turn the zImage + ramdisk into something I could boot.
This: https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/mkqcdtbootimg was the correct tool to use - again, no need to track down any mystery mkbootimg or dtbTool binaries.
Hope this is helpful to someone. As someone new to Xperia dev, I found most of the information out there worse than useless.

I have just updated to Cyanogenmod 7.2 stable on my P990 Optimus 2x (Fido Canadian version).
When I go to the CPU settings I cannot change the min/max frequencies or select a CPU governor.
I have done some research and found kernels like Vork and FauxDS, but they are for 7.1 nightlies so I am not sure if it is a good idea to flash them.
What I am most afraid about is the possibility of getting the black screen of death while my phone sleeps (it happened once already but it stopped after I changed to a different charger and reflashed CM7.2).
The reason why I want to change the settings is that there tends to be scrolling lag (my old HTC Desire Z was faster!) and there is also a bit of lag waking up the phone (lockscreen does not appear instantly when pressing power button).
Does anyone know what is the best kernel I can flash to enable frequency/governor changes in CM7.2 stable? I would prefer not to change the ROM if possible as I am kinda nooby in comparison to the XDA community in general. Thanks for any help.
I suggest you try Etana kernel. It has the things you need. Also use CPU master to set profiles and minimum CPU frequencies. I used something like min freq 352 MHz when asleep (don't worry doesn't drain battery) and I had no lag whatsoever.

Are you referring to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427646 ?
If so, do I just flash the zip off the sd card using ClockworkMod? And what are the differences between lite and DS?
Thanks.
All right, after reading, I determined I don't need LOC/HOC/DS as I don't intend to raise the max frequency, I just want to raise min frequency.
Installed the Etana kernel via CWM and it works. I can raise minimum frequency, though I still cannot see a governor option! Any idea how to get my governor setting back?
You can use CPU master and set some profiles. It's not exactly the same as governors but it's as close as it gets and it gets the job done pretty well. As far as I remember there were two governors for O2X - powersave and performance. I've always used performance and I can't tell if there's a HUGE difference in battery usage. I guess performance utilizes higher CPU frequencies when the device is asleep and somehow scales faster to even higher frequencies when needed to. But this might be complete crap as I am not too much into how CPUs work...
And please use the THANKS button (right below the user name), it kind of forum etiquette and it keeps people motivated to help others. Thank the Etana developer too.

Thanks for letting me know, I didn't realize there was a thanks button at first haha.
Fixed!
As for now CPU Master in his profiles let's you choose governor. We have only 2. Power save nd Performance.

READ EVERYTHING BEFORE ATTEMPTING ALSO DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Required. you must have an oc and voltage support kernel. jfbs stock roms have both oc and voltage. cars1189 stock rom does not but he provides link to kernels that do. Dont use exuv or uv kernels while doing this. well you can but if your new to this it is recommended to use regular oc kernel without uv/exuv. Also ram size does not matter.
What else do you need:
an app that allows you to change clock speed and voltages. if you dont already have one get performance control here (i use this thanks to jfbs for finding it).
*NOTE* never ever leave phone unintended when doing this until you find your chips sweet spot. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. otherwise if you listen and follow my advice you wont cause any major harm to your phone or any harm to your phone. Also do NOT have the settings apply at boot until you find all your settings. keep a pen or pencil and paper ready so you can remember workings settings.
1. remove case (if you have one on your phone) and battery cover. (this is just a safety precaution should your power button not work to pull that battery.
2. open up your overclocking app. (in my case performance control). set min and max frequency/speed to 245mhz
3. go to voltage settings and change the current voltage for 245760khz (really 245mhz) which is stock 900mV to 875mV (decrease by 0.25). close app out swipe around home screen and apps draw. open and close contacts list and see if phone freezes. we are not worried about phone running slow at this point until you reach 1ghz+ point of this. IF phone freezes/locks up hold power button to reboot phone or just pull battery and put it back in (personally i just use power button). if phone doesnt not freeze lower voltage again by 0.025 which should be 850mV. continue this process until phone DOES freeze so make sure you you wrote down last working voltage and as soon as phone freezes reboot or pull battery.
4. Once you found the lowest working voltage for 245mhz up the min and max frequency (speed) to 368mhz (368640khz)
5. Do the same thing as step 3 which is decrease the voltage by 0.025mV for the frequency for 365mhz. and repeat for each frequency up to 1ghz. Once you get to doing 1ghz voltage and above. The testing phone phase will be different but still flow the decrease by 0.025mV. for testing use any 3d game not candy crush type. and let it run for at least 10mins actually playing with phone plugged into charger. when you reach the spot where the phone freezes unplug both charger and force reboot/pull battery.
6. Once you find all of your working voltages for each frequency then you can set min back to 245mhz and your max to which ever you was able to hit. then set all of your volt settings in and save it for set on boot.
Note. 1.2ghz-1.4ghz seems to be a very good and safe battery to performance ratio. even more so if you followed my directions properly.
EDIT:
My settings for comparison.
Frequency Range: min.256mhz max 1401mhz(1.4Ghz)
Voltage scale:
122880KHZ - 700mV
245760KHZ - 700mV

i just got this phone only a year ago... also the guide should work for any phone that has oc and voltage control support. but thanks
my new phone, motorola droid, is not as developer friendly as the samsung. i should have done more research before getting it. motorola and verizon have it pretty locked down, no flashing and awesomeness. getting root privileges was a 15 step process.....oh for the days of flashing with the exhibit...i still have a red case and a green flowery case if anyone wants them.

any electronic can be overclocked and under/over volt. Over voltage is fine if electronic requires a outlet to run e.g pc. game consoles. while undervolt is best for battery operated devices as you would want to have long operation time between charging xD.
Updated OP with my personal settings for this phone.
Thanks for the guide, Will be giving this a try this weekend... Well this and possibly flashing that new Mahdi Rom for the exhibit
Thanks!

all of jfbs roms are overclockable by defualt so just download performance app and follow instructions. be save and watch temps if your overclocking keep it below 35c is possible or if battery gets really warm.

Thanks for this response one more question what are the benefits of overlocking my phonr aside from more batery lifee??? ... i wana give this a try so i can keep using my exhibit
Thanks!
This will be helpful when undervolting my parents' phones.
undervolting will give you the better battery life while keeping the same performance
overvolting will drain the battery faster
underclocking will drop performance and save more battery life then just undervolting
overclocking will give you better performance
When it comes to any mobile device it is recommended to undervolt and overclock as you want as much battery life as you can while getting a performance boost or just to undervolt to save battery only.
Desktops are made to handle heat and voltage a lot better thus most ppl will overvolt and overclock to get the fast possible performance as you are always connected to a main power source.
@TripFX, thank you for the comprehensive OC & UV guide. I've been tinkering with the voltage settings for about a week via Performance Control and I think I've found a good spot for both my Exhibit devices.
Here are my settings (using cars1189 Christopher K^Kernel uv vhm 9-9-2014 build)...
EDIT: Updated voltage & CPU settings.
CPU Frequency:
Max. 1401 Mhz
Min. 368 Mhz
Voltage Settings:
122880KHZ - 750 mV
245760KHZ - 750 mV
368640KHZ - 800 mV
768000KHZ - 925 mV
806400KHZ - 950 mV
902400KHZ - 975 mV
1024000KHZ - 1000 mV
1113600KHZ - 1025 mV
1209600KHZ - 1050 mV
1305600KHZ - 1075 mV
1401600KHZ - 1125 mV
Btw, 750 mv is the lowest 122880KHZ, 245769KHZ, and 368640KHZ can be set to using the kernel mentioned above. If anyone wants to go lower, you'll need to try a different kernel or one of jfbs ROMs. cars1189's uv kernels seems to do okay (every device is different though, so be careful) but I would strongly advise against using exuv (both my devices couldn't handle exuv).
Also, device temp. has decreased by a couple degrees overall, couldn't be happier!

I almost copied your exact settings for my T679 and it's running nice (I've set min/max to 245 MHz/1209 MHz)
However I was curious as to what you've set for Governor and IO Scheduler; I've just left it on default: ondemand and row. Any other special settings or tweaks?
I ask because temp has definitely lowered, but battery life *I think* seems to drain a bit faster (though I do have a bunch of communication apps that probably sync throughout the day).

as far as more tweaks to boost performance. if all the apps you use is art compatible then i'd suggest switching to art. massive cpu difference between davlik and art. least from my own experience. as far as battery drain i would recommend using an app such as greenify. for gov's and sched. mine i left ondemand but sched put it on sio. however i recommend reading over this as it will help you get a much better idea of what would work best for you. everyone uses the their phone differently so it should technically vary from person to person.
Just a heads up to anyone undervolting. Be careful undervolting below 750mv. I noticed on my phone that the battery started overheating at 725mv and below. 750 and above was fine.

Battery life update on 3.1 for stock
On default settings this kernel (r3b3) used more juice than the stock one.
I flashed 3.1, tweaked some things and now I have 3h 40min SOT with 50% battery left, which is pretty awesome imo and gets the job done for me. No heavy gaming, but I use camera and image editing apps and had no problems whatsoever. Today I was mostly browsing the web.
Settings I am using are :
cpu governor - ondemand with max frequency set to 1497 (but it keeps coming back to 1900, dunno what's up with that)
Cpu hotplug - inteliplug on conservative profile. Minimum cpu's online set to 4 (no difference in speed imo but very battery friendly combined with underclocking)
I/O scheduler - sio
Undervolted everything - 50mV
I had one reboot when I walked outside and tried to set brightness to the max (really weird and random). Didn't catch the log tho. The problem didn't reoccur, so I don't think it's a big of a deal. The phone acts nice and it's cool, no drops in signal, radios, gps and wifi work like a charm. BT works on my speakers and headphones.
Screen uses ~ 40% of battery, kernel ~ 28%, android system ~ 8%.
Using extreme 1.1 rom btw.
Great job on stock 3.1 @Yoinx I will update the status when I get to test it a bit more.

On default settings this kernel (r3b3) used more juice than the stock one.

Could be a bug with on-demand. Set the max cpu freq in the msm limiter... Should stop that.
3.1
Had a few random reboots yesterday under pretty mild usage. I am positive undervolting or underclocking was the cause since the 1400 wouldn't stick. I tried both trickster and adiutor. Not sure what was the problem but flashing bouchigo's int.d support zip and installing ukm and setting frequencies in synapse msm limiter solved the problem. It seems to be sticking now. Still undervolted, but working good for now. Thanks for the suggestion! I will keep monitoring the frequencies to see if that was a permanent fix.
Also noticed that underclocking the gpu while using msm-tz-adreno won't stick, not even in synapse. Same with msm_cpufreq. Choosing simple_ondemand is causing an instant system crash on extreme 1.1
That's all for now
UPDATE
Yup, freq sticking at 1574, undervolted - 45mV global, stable and smooth
3h20min SoT with 55% battery remaining. Sweet!

look it up on Playstore. Synapse worked best for me, just make sure you have init.d set up if you are on extreme 1.1. There are other options too. Trickster, kernel auditor etc.
Hi there,
really sorry if this has already been around, but i've been searching this forum up and down and didn't find a thing.
Anyways, i was wondering how i could enable overclocking under cm11 nightly? Could anyone point me towards a solution? Thanks
Well ...

It should work (in the past it works)
Install it on your Cyanogenmod Rom

There's a guy who said that that kernel doesnt work on cm11...it work's for you in the past?
For CM11 and other AOSP 4.4 ROMS, the most fully-featured and overclockable kernel is JBX. You can use the one intended for the RAZR.
Joojoobee's is good, and certainly the best for Lollipop, but due to its extra voltage management stuff the JBX kernel has a higher overclock ceiling.
Use the newest kernel from here.
Boot into Safestrap, make a backup in case something goes horribly wrong, then flash the package to start up the installer. In the installer, don't install any of the tweaks, at least a couple of them cause instability for our phone, and don't bother with the init.d stuff. Just install the kernel itself and Trickster Mod. Trickster, FYI, is probably the best app for managing JBX, but other apps can as well.
Done. Reboot phone, hopefully it won't bootloop, once back up increase speed until it starts freezing when you try to use it, bump voltage 10-20mv, find ceiling again. I think the JBX thread has better/more detailed instructions, but that's about the gist of it.
Maximum advised voltage is 1490mv iirc, don't try to even approach that unless you want to cook eggs on the back of your phone.
Thanks a bunch!
After messing around with both solutions, Jojobee's solution gave me a bootloop but the other one worked.
However i can't seem to get past 1300mhz when overclocking, that seems to be the limit. I was aiming to try to reach 1400, any idea how i could go about that? I can't seem to find an option to set the max frequency higher than 1300.
Well i was playing a little with JBX kernel..these are my conclusions:
- Kernel install/works fine if you don't install 10% battery mode..otherwise you are goingo to have android crashes
- Kernel performance it's below than current cm11 m13 stock kernel...i believe is due to full scale freq that it has...cpu spend a lot time switching from one freq to another...if you overclocked you will have almost the same performance than NON-OC stock kernel..that's why stargo applied and later reverted full scale on stock months ago...meaby if JBX kernell would have support to boost driver (like cm12 OC kernel) it would be better...but it hasnt...
So my conclusions...dont waste time on JBX kernel...sorry my 4 my english

I don't think you can set the CPU higher than 1.3ghz, at least not in the way you're thinking.
In the case of the JBX kernel, you overclock the Main Processor Unit (MPU) speed. I don't remember what tab it's under in Trickster, but it should be the same one as the voltage settings. I couldn't even begin to guess where it'd be as far as other apps.
The default is 100mhz. This is multiplied by each frequency step; e.g. 1.3ghz is actually a 13x multiplier of the base 100mhz.
So to obtain 1.4ghz(ish), simply increase the MPU clock from 100mhz to 108mhz, since 108*13=1404.
If you're lucky, you'll be be able to do this without needing to touch the voltage, if not...read the FAQ in the JBX post, because I don't remember offhand exactly how to set voltages :v
Once you know how, I would think a 5-10mv bump would be all that'd be needed to stabilize most CPUs for 1.4ghz.
fyi, ignore if you already have stuff for these:
Antutu is a decent app for both testing stability and checking to make sure you're not hitting the heat throttle.
Cooltool isn't a bad thing to use either, if configured to show CPU speeds, since it'll show you if the CPU has been forcefully throttled back (if the CPU gets too hot, it'll forcefully change the maximum multiplier to 10x/11x to protect itself from baking; if it does, back your voltage off and be happy with whatever speed you've attained).
dear modders
i just want to say i overclocked my htc one m7 cpu from 1.7ghz to 2.1 GHZ
with a custom kernel called ElementalX-m7-22.3-Sense
is this save can the phone run this without any stability issue's or shall i downclock it to 1.9
i use M7_Sense7_artmod_10.0 rom Lolipop 5.0.2 with sense 7 cause this is the only one without any bugs like no sound when you got called or sms sound's no boot sounds
i fixed my boot sound anyway on this rom
so my question is wont my phone be fried by this overclock cause i saw in the aroma installer that it can be overclock till 3 GHZ

Overclocking the CPU in any system usually results in 2 main things:
a. Significantly shorter battery life.
b. heating issues.
sometimes (less frequently) you might experience a crash and fc here and there.
So yeah, it won't be all rainbows and butterflies.
PS: you probably won't reap the benefits of your now overclocked CPU without an app like no frills CPU or kernel Aduitor. Your device's performance isn't just about its CPU frequency, there's the min Max frequency your system is allowed to utilize, the CPU governor, and the I/o scheduler..
and
PPS: don't and I repeat DO NOT go anywhere near 3 GHz.
good luck.
I'm runnimg 2.1 Ghz OC for over 2 years without any issues. I would like to note that 2.1 Ghz on Elemental was not too stable for me, so I ran that on 2.0 Ghz. Anyway - i don't have any issues with my kernel, no overheating, battery lasts 100% same as stock frequency, no reboots, everything works as it's ment to work. If you really want to run on that frequency, make sure you set your voltage table to match your CPU clocks. Undervolting is not a good idea on such high clocks, so you might want to raise your voltages for higher frequencies a bit

ok mate
yeah i could raise also min clocks might turn that a noch up
just was wondering if it was possible without any harms
there are now on 384mhz 1 core is always active and 3 others are sleeping aid64 tells me
the temps are now 29 celcuis for 2.1 ghz

yeaah the kernel has those options in aroma installer it set it safe i ques
ill post later some picture's of what ive been doing
good nites
here are some pictures of my sense 7 5.0.2 android system dump of htc one m9 for htc one m7 xD overclocked
some temps and cpu tweaks and ofc of the system (dont mind about the girl on the screenshot its my girlfriend not me iam a boy
btw i removed phone number on call menu cause it's private
