DRM fix is updated with it. Along side battery issue fixes.
Androplus kernel seems very slightly degraded the camera quality, photo a bit softer or just tuned the stock sharpness level lower. It could be a pros and cons.

The sony camera driver is a mass and since your kernel is heavily tuned so it could be a side effect. The last time I tried your v31 when I compared it with stock kernel, I found the image very slightly softed but it is very hard to notice so should be safe for most people. Recalled my memory, I remember there was a couple of guys on Z5 board who mentioned the same result.
However, the default sharpness is a bit over and some might actually prefer a bit softer in my opinions so it is not real a problem.
Keep your hard work up, thanks for supporting Z5c and starting to support X Performance. :good:
V33 = Great kernel

So far I've been using the ARHD 17.0 and never looked back since I didn't have any issues. I decided to install a newer version today, and to my surprise the sound quality has worsened (not as loud and clean), I tried flashing the latest perseus kernel but that actually made my headphones crackle and didn't provide me with the same quality that I was used to on ARHD 17.0.
Now is there some sort of setting I'm supposed to change as the sound is much like stock only louder now without any actual improvements?

Try a kernel with Boeffla Sound Engine in it. There are kernels for AOSP/CM ROMs and stock ROMs, so be careful which one you choose. Quite a few folks are including the Engine in their kernel.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.near.boefflasound&hl=en
More is NOT better when it comes to sound improvements. The best things that Boeffla does is allow you to clean up the signal noise considerably on CM/AOSP kernels which is introduced by the terrible incomplete and/or non-existent sources that Samdung provided to the OpenSource community devs.
Keep the settings at a minimum and tread lightly when adjusting. I've found that this engine allows me to enjoy CM for the first time in the way I've always wanted. I just could not stomach the difference between the signal source sound from stock to CM kernels, but Boeffla makes it tolerable, not by just masking it with "more bass" or gimmicks like "Beats" does, but by actually tuning the FLL on the chip and cleaning up the signal through oversampling, etc.
It works pretty darn well. Close to stock, actually. Very close. It's been a real treat for me, because I had given up on custom kernels and ROMs because of the sound issues they bring, so I feel the pain. I'm a musician, and I have an ear for this stuff, from a studio perspective, and I'd encourage you to check it out. If the kernel dev doesn't include it, the Sound Control won't work, so you just need to check.
The Wolfson DAC in the S3 really is superb. It's a shame that Samdung refuses to share userspace sources to make things better for the community. I'd buy Samsung devices til the day I'm too old to make calls if they did that.

Development Goals:
- stability
- energy savings due to more efficient algorithms (whether theoretical or not is unimportant)
- strictly no overclocking unless approved by the manufacturer or my source base integrates it (also, even if my source base integrates it, expect no support for it)
- no undervolting as well unless the manufacturer approves it since it's relatively pointless IMHO...
- all improvements should require MINIMAL user interaction (e.g. you don't need to do anything except flash the kernel or at the very least use SetCPU or the like to set fixed options)
- stability
Latest Kernel Here
20130625_10XX:
- updated with fix for more recent 4.1.2 Sense ROMs (should fix camera issue)
*unsure if this becomes incompatible with older 4.1.2 Sense ROMs though
20130602_07XX:
- NTFS support
- compiled using 4.8 linaro compiler
- improved workqueue queueing
- sleeper improvements
- responsiveness patches to the frequency controllers
20130531_09XX:
- fixed earpiece volume during calls
20130528_17XX:
- more optimizations (see GitHub)
20130527_18XX:
- more ARM implementations (see GitHub)
20130527_10XX:
- ARM implementations of kernel algorithms (see GitHub)
20130527_09XX:
- compiler optimization flags
20130526_22XX:
- initial version
- uses Linaro compiler
You can find my kernels at:
intersectRaven's Kernels
GitHub is at:
intersectRaven's GitHub
FAQ or something like that:
1.) Camera doesn't work!
- Try this fix from Golv here. This usually occurs on older ROMs.
*Latest 20130625_10XX version should solve this without flashing older camera libs.

Could you please expound on your statement that undervolting is relatively pointless?
From my experience, undervolting
1. Improves battery life because of lower wattage (Voltage * Amperage = Wattage). Even with a really bad binned CPU, it can still make a difference.
2. Cooler operation. This means longer component life - especially important as this phone is very difficult to repair. Battery is sandwiched so the cooler we can keep the device, the longer the battery will last. (Battery longevity practices could be a topic of it's own)
3. It's Fun! Haha. But seriously. I love to tinker. How low can you go??? It's fun seeing a 25% decrease in voltage and it still run stable
I really like your approach with the rest of your points though. We should have a stable kernel that doesn't have to be tuned or tweaked at all. This however, only suites the majority. The minority may want more. I'm currently in the process of making a kernel with as few restrictions as possible. Except that I will put a ceiling on the maximum voltage (1.25v for the cpu)) because I discourage overvolting beyond spec.
Anyway, thanks for the work. The One is Awesome!

Should have put a qualifier there huh? Anyways, it's pointless from a no tweaking perspective since undervolting may not work for some chips and could cause more trouble (random restarts and the like) than it's worth. It's fun for a tweaker (like when I did something like that for the N1) but not for someone who's the flash and forget type. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks

Camera troubles
If somebody have problems with the camera, use the camera Fix from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41712563
The bug is due to the old source code, released by HTC
If you are using a ROM based in 1.29.xxx.16 like the most of the new custom Roms flash just after the kernel.
Are the old camera libraries, that works with the Custom kernels.

Thank you very much i really like this kernel , smooth , cold , save battery
I have been using L-droid for a month now. Its perfect in every way except the following two.
1 - Display crispness
2 - Camera
1 - Display Crispness
I feel the Stock Sammy ROMs have a much sharper and crisper image with better colors as compared to any CM based ROM I've used. I want to understand why is this difference ?
2 - Camera
Stock Sammy takes Photos way too quickly (from the time you press the button to the time it gets snapped and ready for another) compared to stock CM camera. Again I want to understand why is this difference ?

You are correct about 1, there's a sharpness fix implemented in some kernels.
No idea about the second one, are we talking AOSP vs samsung camera on AOSP and samsung roms respectively or both on a samsung rom?
If former, it's due to closed sources.

Sharpness fix in kernels : which kernels have it? Can you name them.
AOSP camera on AOSP ROM vs SAMMY CAM on STOCK SAMMY ROM.
If it's because of closed source then my question comes out to be : developers have figured out the camera driver what's the factor they haven't figured out yet?
My curiosity comes from me being a driver developer for nix for specialized systems . Haven't worked on any drivers for Android yet. But I am curious.

Boeffla has the sharpness fix, that's as much as I can tell you, you're better off doing a quick search yourself.
I don't dig deep into issues since I can't do anything about them, but as far as I know, they haven't found what exactly makes all the hardware camera tweaks work and how to implement them, maybe try searching for codeworkx posts or even justarchi. I believe it's the same with HWComposer.
The only reason I stuck with Sammy ROM, it's camera quality :/

Hello,I am planning to buy Xperia Z2,but I have a problem.According to my research,ıf I use Cyanogenmod,Carbon Rom(except for stock rom),I cant use Drm Keys on these roms;so,Camera,Voice..etc performances will affect thanks to lack of Drm Keys.İs there any solution for this problem ? Cant we use Drm Keys on custom roms? I am waiting for your opinions,suggestions
downgrade
root
backup TA partition (where your drm keys are)
unlock bootloader
have fun
flash stock firmware
restore TA
enjoy your reinstated warranty
DRM Keys only affect drm dependant content such as PlayStation services and remote play, X-Reality, Some Xperia Apps such as Xperia Lounge VIP
there is nothing affected on custom roms because they dont use DRM content, only stock and stock based roms
Firstly,I am grateful for your help,but I couldnt tell exactly my problem.When I use custom rom,I cant use drm keys;so,drm related programs performance may down.My biggest fear is about camera performance.İn custom roms the quality of pictures taken with the camera are low owing to lack of Drm Keys.When Sony finishes update support,I turn to custom rom.İn custom roms I will encounter with poor camera quality,and this problem overwhelm me. I saw pictures taken with custom rom and stock rom and stock rom's picture quality is quite better. Camera performance is quite significant for me. I hope that I could tell my problem.

it honestly only affects stock ROM or stock based.
performance isn't affect at all, camera results are similar.

I cant say how I became happy when I saw you said that similar picture quality between locked and unlocked.I wholeheartedly believe your words ,but I am bit confused.I saw same topic in this forum.They compared to stock and custom rom camera quality and likewise me they were worry about camera performance on custom roms because of lack of Drm Keys.Furthermore,Sony said that unlocking may down camera performance.However I rely on you.Thanks for your assistance

honnestly X-Reality Never worked for me, it may even be a placebo when i see little difference between UB and LB, there probably isnt any.
i use MultiRom to use Stock 4.4.4, CM11 and CM12 and i have to say Stock 4.4.4 has the best camera quality although CM11 and CM12 not being effected by DRM Content at all
idk why Sony doesnt try protecting their secretes with alternate methods.
I agree with you because according to me sony's method is absurd.When Sony finish update support,I turn to cm,and I will encounter with poor camera quality.This is absolutely quite bad.I found that unlocked's camera quality is quite bad in low light.Except for light low,locked's and unclocked's picture quality are nearly similar.İn addition, Brightness problem may occur in pictures.I learned this problem in unlocked.Thank you again I want to ask another question if you arent busy.I cant decide buy Z2 or Z3 Compact.Z3 Compact has 2 gb ram,so I am confused.Will 2gb ram be sufficient in next 3 years ? I want to use my new phone at least 3 years.Sorry for a great deal of question.

Z3 is more expencive and weaker but has a tiny tiny bit more battery, better display and not realy much difference in camera.

Front cam isnt so good in low light but i dont bother with vid chat
Hi there,
i'm getting a new z5 compact today and I'm really exited to void the warranty and improve that phone.
But where to start? I read a little bit through the topics and I'm not quite sure what happens to the camera if I root and unlock the bootloader.
I'm looking for a slim and fast rom, maybe lineage, with working camera as the original and even better battery life.
Thanks in advance for your help and guidance
Firstly, if you want to play games, flash SmarTemperatureX. I use modified stock rom, but AndroPlus is also great, I think. For better batterylife, idk. I personally just put CPU clocks down a bit.
Unlocking bootloader wipes your TA key, which removes camerafeatures like denoise and maybe some other processing. DRM fix restores them, but I'd advice to backup your TA file.
Nougat is far superior to Marshmallow, and Lineage seems to have a really good camera application, but I run stock rom.
In really low light, you might find that using manual mode in 2 megapixel mode looks the best, as it has the least noise. Often looks a bit sharper in low light even lol. Sony's stock camera app is okey, but I haven't tried ANY other, so I can't tell you which is best. 8mp is often better than 23 too, and even outdoors in good lighting, 3/2 mp sometimes gives you a more pleasing picture.
