[Kernel][Sony5.x]Zombie[10.04.16] - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Zombie is a Kernel which extends the Xperia Z Ultra's capabilities.
It is aimed at including only useful and strictly tested features, enhancements and optimisations,
it will only receive useful CAF enhancements.
Important: I do not accept Bug reports when you are running a modified Rom or using Xposed!
Sidenote:
No Recovery will be added due to Sony's new bootloader which allows direct Recovery booting without hacking Ramdisk!
Features:
* Compiled with Google's AOSP GCC 4.8 and Size Optimisations (-Os) (for maximum stability)
* Sony RIC is disabled (hijacking is not possible anymore on newer fw's)
* Optional dt2w with adjustable haptical feedback
* Sweep2Sleep (works in Navigation and Status Bar)
* Automated current scaling for wled backlight (to fix ****ty standard brightness mapping)
* Optional Conservative devfreq GPU-Governor
* Togari is usable as Mouse/Keyboard for PC
* Faux' Sound Control 3.x (controllable via e.g. Fauxsound)
* KCAL Color Driver (Full RGB /Sat/Cont/Inv/Val/Greyscale Control)
* Tuned thermal configuration (less throtteling)
Additional changes of b9 upwards:
* Tightened security (e.g. patched rowhammer bug)
* Latest CAF fixes from the current branch and the most important ones from the latest CAF branch
* Speedbin/PVS exported to sys/kernel/debug/msm8974_cpuinfo
* Ext4 fs patched to latest 3.4.x (performance increase)
Downloads:
Legacy Build: Zombie-b8
Latest Build: Zombie-b9
Installation:
* Flash Kernel Package via Recovery (Not only the Boot Image via Fastboot: there are important scripts which need to be applied to ensure the Kernel works as intended).

Does it do anything for performance. I'm confused about the boot loader part. Can I still flash dual recovery with twrp manager if I use this kernel? Stable?

Sony released a new bootloader, we can fastboot TWRP now. No need for other hacks (dualrecovery, etc..).
If you're on the old bootloader, i don't know if it works, i've never used stuff like dualrecovery.

Hi all,
The following Kernel builds are only suitable for Sony 5.02/Sony 5.02-based roms.
Sidenote:
This Kernel is aimed to give maximum security. It has some additional restrictions enabled to protect various parts.
RIC is left enabled to ensure maximum security, only change is that /system is writable, /data and /cache are still protected with flags.
I won't add many custom features, as Wifi breaks easily, i'll keep this as a security-enhanced Stock-based Kernel.
No Recovery will be added due to Sony's new bootloader!
Features:
* Compiled with GCC 4.8 AOSP Toolchain
* Sony RIC-Module enabled (but /system is r/w mountable)
* Sound Control 3.x
* Many security patches - this Kernel is aimed at maximum security
Todo:
* Add CPU-Boost (eventually)
* KCAL Color Driver
