[KERNEL][D6603/D6653/D6643] AndroPlusKernel v72 [DISCONTINUED] - Xperia Z3 Android Development

I love DooMKernel by DooMLoRD , but he does not have Z3.
So, I started to learn and create custom kernel like DooMKernel.
Please do not ask me to add something, I don't know much about kernel and git right now...
Z3 Dual D6633 need a different kernel.
If you want me to make it, give me your Z3 Dual since I don't want to make kernel not tested on my device...

What is FOTA kernel recovery?
NOTE: this is old info
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/twrp2/232
It's for Z2, but we can use main functions such as backup and install on Z3 and other FHD devices,
but device check by some ROM zip will give you wrong result because .prop in image has info for Z2.
Modified version of TWRP 2.8.1.0 image for D6603 is here.
You 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 Z3 and Z3 Compact.
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
Click BLU icon to show unlock button and click it.
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.

If I had the Xperia Z3 I would create & support my DooMKernel for it...

My suggestion would be to change the top line of your post.
Mainly due to it being a misleading piece of information.
However, great work on creating your kernel, I will be following this.

I feel you are being a little rude to @DooMLoRD.
Have a look at what this guy does for the community, he is a legend.

I know the work that is offered DooMLoRD. I respect that.
I have another smart phone (old model) and I had support for good offer there.
I write the translation, sorry if it seemed ugly the previous message. write with good mood.

Updated to v2 - now it's almost same as DooMKernel for Z2.
It's not optimised for Z3, but good enough to have those great features

Hi,
Quick question, And apologies most likely a stupid one.
But does this require root?
Kindest Regards

About this kernel level color control, how does it different from the default "white balance" tool provided by Sony? Is it able to control Gamma setting?
Thanks,
Claud

Great work! Does this kernel work out of the box with a rooted Z3C? And is D2W supported ? Cheers!

Difference between .98 and .105 is little, so it will works.

You can change color temperature with Fauxclock.
I think difference is: white balance - change value to higher, kernel level color control - change value to lower

Please test this: v3 for D5803 23.0.A.2.105 (should work even if you are on .93 or .98)
DT2W is officially supported by Sony as you know, so it works normally.
I added 2.89GHz overclocking.
