Androplus vs Zach's Kernel - Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can someone who has tried both tell me about the difference between the Androplus and Zach's Kernel?
Which has less bugs? (I'm prob most concerned about GPS and Camera)
Which is faster/smoother?
Which has better battery life?

Zach's is experimental kernel. So every update brings some different that might effect on battery life. Camera and gps should work similar for both kernels. You can say that androplus should be more stable as zach's is experimental kernel.

Yes I am aware that Zach's kernel is experimental thus it should be more stable.
I was looking for more specific experiences from people who have tried both.
What instabilities have been noticed in Zach's vs Androplus?
What features are available in Zach's that aren't in Androplus?

FauxSound in zachs which is nothing short of awesome if you like music and have decent modded sound lib files...
Seriously the stock headphones that came with my z1c and pureperformances audio mod paired up with some tech niiiiiine and some days I'd be pretty much deaf after 20 minutes listening but the audio would still be CRYSTAL clear

Other than that I have no idea as my effing bootloader isn't unlockable (yet, I hope) looking forward to how this pixel forced unlock bootloader hack pans out for other devices, I know it's a HTC device and for some reason theyve pretty much always had an option to force "something" to allow bootloader unlocking I just wish someone could do it for our Sony!

Is it normal that???

Is it normal that the 4. plus builds are more unstable that the 2. plus builds?? For example:
The 4. plus builds are giving me this problems
Short Battery life
Slow Data Speeds and Weak signal Strength
Weak WiFi Signal Strength
Force Closes in a lot of apps
Lag's and bugs
The 2.plus builds for me are more stable and i do have more battery life, more data speed and signal strength, really good WiFi Signal Strength, little to no apps force closing And little to no lags or bugs, the only thing i don't like about old builds is that you cant access notifications like on the 4. plus builds from the lock screen.
What do you guys can say about this???
Yes, this is normal. You have to realize that our phones were never built to run anything higher than gingerbread. It's amazing that our developers got ics up and running so incredibly. It's equally impressive that they also managed to get jb running on our vibrant at all. But jb will never be stable. Stick with ics and lower.

Can you tell me one of the ICS builds that is really stable and good? cause i have a couple of Gb ones that im always using and i love them but you know when you have the chance to play with higher system builds your always gonna try them.
In my opinion dont use any ICS rom as you might end up with the Encryption Unsuccessful bug....which takes ur internal memory into coma...and then you cant access it..i have also been ****ed up by that bug...so limit yourself to gingerbread or less....its better

Which custom ROM is the best?

Hello guys, i'm getting my OPX in about a week and i'm doing some research beforehand. My question is simple; Which custom ROM is the best one out there?
For now i have my eyes on cyanogenmod but i am wondering what your opinion is.
The only thing i need is for the ROM to be MM and it has to have support to use sdcard as main storage
Also i do have an additional question; Which camera app gives the best results?
Can you guys help me with this?
Thanks for the help
EDIT:
I have read some more around the site and i have found some tweaks that makes the camera better and stuff (http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...-custom-camera-hal-4k-uhd-dci-30-fps-t3315382) Is this any good?
Is there anything else i should know about?
There isn't a "best" ROM. Some are good in some aspects while others are better in other things. It all comes down to personal preference. Start by thinking of whether you are going for features, battery life or a bit of both and go from there. If you are a bit of a noob with ROMs leave you telegram, what's app, etc. and I'll be more than happy to help you

In that case, i think im going to be happy with cm13, atleast that is what ill try first. Im going to try the camera 4k fix and see if that makes the camera better. Thanks for the help, i guess im going with what i thought i would do xD
If I can help you, I'm on SultanXda CM13 rom (25/06 build). I'm really happy with it, more than with OOS. I'm not a ''power user'' (I didn't even rooted my onyx at the moment :s). Everything i need work perfectly (GPS, SMS/MMS, gapps, calls, camera, alarm clock, some social media apps) and battery life is pretty decent (i have ~4h-4h30 SWOT with all ''****ty'' apps like twitter, facebook &co).

So how is the rom you are using compared to the official CM13 rom?
And also, have you tested the 4k camera "patch" ?
i can recommend sultan's cm13 as well
If you are going for pure CMish, be sure to give Sultan's Unofficial CM a try. It's basically stock CM13 with a custom kernel which greatly improved battery life and performances plus a few tweaks to make things easier. I get 5:30h - 6h of screen on time with medium usage.
Try it, you won't regret it
Sultans ROM already has the camera HAL included. It is his after all and it does way more than just enable 4k

I didn't try official CM13, the sultan CM13 works well, i stay with it . I have installed it from one week now, have only one issue of heating but only once and for less than 5 min (maybe because of facebook app **** ...). If you want a stable rom give it a try

I will, does sdcard storage work correctly?
mic issues on sultan's?
AoSPa. Was previously using CM13 but the mic seems problematic, tried aospa last night so far everything is smooth.
Yes, Sultan has both mic and SD storage issues. But you can easily fix those: you fix the external SD with either an xposed module or a zip in this forum; the mic is fixed by editing the build.prop
All the Roms are top notch In there own sense. Best way is read forums and ask questions on what your looking for. I keep going back to Xosp. It works flawless and with sparky kernel gives decent battery life. If you dont want the Sony apps you can just choose your own file/music/gallery apps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/development/rom-xosp-5-4-t3372070
Imo Sultan CM13
I am using Purity ROM. I find it quite efficient both in terms of battery and stable wise. Its better to take a poll and ask the users which ROM are they using. In that way, we can get to know the ROM that is used by many.
So which one is good in terms of battery life?

AOSPA was really good, but the camera app ruined it for me. If you flash the OOS camera app it should be great. Not too sure about it's performance/battery life though, I didn't use it for too long

Planned to build kernel, but for better stability and battery life, miui or cm?

So my new redmi 3 is on its way. I've chosen this phone over redmi 4a because of kernel source already available. I love tinkering, modifying and compiling kernel. But before doing so, I need to know which rom are stable for daily usage, with better battery life and overall stability, because I'll be compiling the kernel against the rom and I'll be looking into the kernel source while waiting for the phone to arrive.
From my reading on the threads here so far, I understand that miui roms have better battery life than cm roms, is that still true? Is it noticeable better on miui compared to cm? How about stability, are cm roms still buggy?
Thank you for any feedback :highfive:
LineageOS ?
Inviato dal mio Redmi 3 utilizzando Tapatalk
CM ROMs are really really stable. For me, they feel more stable than MIUI simply because some of the MIUI modifications make some apps bug out (like the battery saver and notification shade).
On the battery side, though, MIUI is way ahead of CM in terms of battery. The hotplug in CM ROMs is INCREDIBLY bad. The one in the latest LineageOS build is always keeping 1 BIG core active (that's the default setting for it) and turns on BIG cores at any touch of the screen. Previous builds had no hotplug, and other CM-based ROMs have some horrible hotplug who turns on little cores and high demand and always keeps the BIG ones active. All of them. Seriously, some ROMs heat up faster when keeping the phone idle with the screen on than MIUI does with hotspot active.
As a battery comparison, MIUI has like 8-9 minutes/1% and CM had 2-3 minutes/1% (SoT) for light tasks. It's now better for CM, like 5-6 minutes, but still a lot behind.
Since you want to modify the kernel, the above battery issue is something you might want to modify, though. You could even get some contributions for LineageOS to make it better for everyone.

Thank you for the reply!
The hotplug issue can easily be mitigated by either adding thirdparty hotplug standalone driver or inbuilt in cpu governors. I'm not sure which hotplug implementation does default miui/cm kernel uses, either standalone driver or inbuilt in cpu governor because i dont have the phone yet, but adding thirdparty standalone hotplug driver are definitely in my plan for the kernel. They usually give much more refined control on the cpu core hotplugging mechanism. Plus with thirdparty thermal driver, it should be way better than the default one in those miui/cm kernels.
Actually i like cm based rom better than miui, but reading the cm/mokee/rr threads made me believed that they're more buggy and more battery hungry than miui roms.

Buggy, not at all. Battery hungry not really, just that MIUI has better optimisations.
My vote is for CM/Lineage. I am currently on Mokee CM/Lineage Marshmallow. It would be great if there was a hotplug option available.
Please build it for CM/LineageOS
It would be nice if you can add better hotplug driver and options to underclock the GPU for better battery life

Hello,
I'm actually vote for LineageOS based ROMs instead because the kernel source is complete. Xiaomi's official source code doesn't include Prima WiFi driver.
OP, choice is on your hand, and up to you. We could only expect for things to come.

i actually already expected that their original source are incomplete and broken like what they always did with their kernel source release, hence i'm syncing cm14.1 kernel source. unless cm did major changes in their source especially in graphic driver, the kernel would theoretically boot on any lp, mm and n roms if using anykernel zip installer.
already succesfully built the kernel but my phone didnt arrive yet to test :laugh:

As for AnyKernel2 template, we need to remove BusyBox in order for the template to work correctly. I've uploaded the modified one if people want to use it as the base (it's also a part of my build script).

I have always wondered how to achieve great camera results with custom Roms. I know it is kind of off-topic, but it would be nice to have a kernel with xiaomi's camera source for lineageOS etc. Though, I have no idea if the kernel source release included camera sources.

Franco kernel vs sphinx kernel

I was looking to flash a new kernel for my poco f1.
I search for a bit and find out that people consider those 2 the best one out there
Can someone explain me which one is better and why?
Sphinx has better performance but runs hotter than Franco this is because Sphinxes clocks are higher.
Franco has lower clocks so you will see minor stutters in games but it is clocked lower than stock. While only francos gpu is overclocked.
Both are stable in all applications no crashing.
it's not overclocked on franco. and it's a bad idea to overclock when it throttles anyway at load. it will make things worse. you could actually get better performance if you underclock...

so in your opinion which one is better for battery life?
I'LL go for franco anytime.. of the day.. both are superb in performance.. but im getting longer battery life with franco.
Franco is a great developer, buy he doenst use f1, just develop for it. Sphynx is an f1 user and his kernel is better polished, i have better battey with it. But there are lots of good kernels here, now im using shadow kernel, it is very good too
kernels don't really matter for battery life. unless using drivers with issues, which isn't a problem on a poco.
if you're using miui, debloat services and processes that constantly report to miui and wake your device.
limit apps push notification and background access. disable sync of non essential services.
personally i don't believe in using battery saving profiles and tweaks like LKT and messing with CPU governers and I/O scheds, but you can experiment with those if you need more battery at the expense of performance.
also try to optimize battery for any service/app you don't need realtime sync for (or don't need it to stay running in background). can also try the google play services gms doze module.
use adblocking browser like Bromite / hosts file to prevent ads from loading will also help battery times.
all of these have far greater effect on battery than kernel level tweaks or differences.
To be honest, the kernels I love are not the two. I actually use Shadow and Twisted Prime. I am currently using Twisted's kernel because, in my use-case, it actually provided me with better performance and overall battery. However, Shadow kernel is also good because you can add tweaks that will make it even better.
After being with franco kernel for quite a while.. im.now.trying the MALAKAS or MLX kernel.. and im telling you bro.. this one's damn smooth and effficient too.. wow. Just wow..

Franco is the most power hungry kernel.
Evel the stock is better than it.
Without using any underclocking.
And after underclocking it gets like 2+ minutes in battery life and makes the phone's performance ****

Sphinx kernel has a better performance than Franco, but the device will be hotter. If you're in a tropical country, the temperature may stay between 40°C-45°C in Sphinx. Franco saves a lot more battery, also low temperature, but I don't like the performance in games, but it is better than the stock kernel.

What is this? Some sort of competition? Ask your question in a more appropriate way whether you want better performance or better battery life. Both kernel serves different purpose.

That's quite the opposite. Francisco owns a Poco F1. Infact he was provided the unit by Xiaomi, afaik. On the other hand, Michael doesn't have a Poco F1. He owns a Dipper (Mi8) which share similar hardware and software with Poco F1.

What's currently the best CUSTOM ROM for SUZU?

Hey,
I made a mistake earlier this year and lost my keys so my phone lost a lot of features and is pretty damn unstable (I regularly lose access to the fingerprint sensor for example), I want to try a ROM that is overall stable, fast, good battery life ...etc.
I tried OMNI last year and it was okay, but I haven't had the time nor the will to go through the flashing process with Pie only to find most of the things broken and go back to where I started. Also, a working camera is important to me.
TL;DR I'm looking for a stable/usable CUSTOM ROM to use as a DAILY DRIVER on my X Dual.
i have a X DUAL and i test all rom but this rom perfect with dual sim already active

Reading through the description and the comments, it seems to be missing the ability to install GCam as well as crashing with bluetooth and aux!
I've used Cyanogen/Lineage back in the day and I don't have anything to say about the ROM, but it seems that Xperia devices are destined for the garbage after they stop receiving the updates since every ROM is struggling with something on them.
I'll go through the most popular ROMs to help you decide based on your needs. Apart from Stock all these are 9.0 ROMs.
Stock (or stock-based ROMs like Existenz): Stable, all function works like you would expect. Great balance between performance and battery. If it hadn't been for Android 8 and the lack of customizations I would have stayed.
Omni, Paranoid, AOSP: Decent stability and battery life, but very poor performance due to bad kernel optimizations. Gcam fully works.
Lineage 16 by Chippa_a: Decent stability and battery life, but has some minor issues with Bluetooth and stuff. Light gaming is fine, but heavier games will run badly due to horrible CPU throttling. Included camera app is decent, but Gcam does not work at all and simply crashes. If you just want a stable Android 9 with near-stock experience then I recommend this one.
Treble GSIs with Pavel's Kernel: Has the best customizability because of GSIs and stuff. Crashes quite often. Unmatched on gaming, but battery life is horrible and you pretty much need to underclock the CPU on anything outside it. Gcam partially works. No NFC, RAW10 and offline charging.
Treble GSIs with modified AOSP Kernel: Same customizability with the above option. Also crashes quite often. Slightly worse gaming performance than stock, and battery life is also below average, but not at a horrible level. Gcam, NFC and offline charging fully works. Currently my daily driver, with Lineage 16 GSI by AndyYan.

Thank you SO much for the effort, mate! Unfortunately, I need most of the things that are broken and don't need a much customization. I'd love me some 9.0 or even 10.0 but oh well, you can't have everything.
I'll stick with stock for now, run the phone until it breaks and say goodbye to Sony's phones.
Once again, thank you for your help, and thanks everyone.

I just flashed clean PA 7.3.1 and set kernel to performance in kernel auditor app this rom now is f*****g dope! Battery life is really legendary, performance in daily use is great there's no comparison with lineageos 15.1/16 (but anyway thanks to chippa for his work).
Also i flashed magisk selinux manager and set kernel to permissive so apps like Viper4Android, DriveDroid etc work flawlessly.
Xposed works too. What can i say everything is great only camera quallity is worse than on stock but not much worse. I think that PA nougat is the final rom on my X.
heres link: http://paranoidandroid.co/downloads/suzu
I also flashed oreo PA but its freeze on splash screen.

I'll go through the most popular ROMs to help you decide based on your needs. Apart from Stock all these are 9.0 ROMs.
Stock (or stock-based ROMs like Existenz): Stable, all function works like you would expect. Great balance between performance and battery. If it hadn't been for Android 8 and the lack of customizations I would have stayed.
Omni, Paranoid, AOSP: Decent stability and battery life, but very poor performance due to bad kernel optimizations. Gcam fully works.
Lineage 16 by Chippa_a: Decent stability and battery life, but has some minor issues with Bluetooth and stuff. Light gaming is fine, but heavier games will run badly due to horrible CPU throttling. Included camera app is decent, but Gcam does not work at all and simply crashes. If you just want a stable Android 9 with near-stock experience then I recommend this one.
Treble GSIs with Pavel's Kernel: Has the best customizability because of GSIs and stuff. Crashes quite often. Unmatched on gaming, but battery life is horrible and you pretty much need to underclock the CPU on anything outside it. Gcam partially works. No NFC, RAW10 and offline charging.
Treble GSIs with modified AOSP Kernel: Same customizability with the above option. Also crashes quite often. Slightly worse gaming performance than stock, and battery life is also below average, but not at a horrible level. Gcam, NFC and offline charging fully works. Currently my daily driver, with Lineage 16 GSI by AndyYan.

On PA gcam is not working and performance is way better than on latest lineageos or treble.

If you noticed, I only went through the Pie ROMs. Sure, you'll get better options by going back to Nougat/Oreo, but for all the missing features and compromised stability I'd rather stay in stock.

I just flashed clean PA 7.3.1 and set kernel to performance in kernel auditor app this rom now is f*****g dope! Battery life is really legendary, performance in daily use is great there's no comparison with lineageos 15.1/16 (but anyway thanks to chippa for his work).
Also i flashed magisk selinux manager and set kernel to permissive so apps like Viper4Android, DriveDroid etc work flawlessly.
Xposed works too. What can i say everything is great only camera quallity is worse than on stock but not much worse. I think that PA nougat is the final rom on my X.

I also flashed oreo PA but its freeze on splash screen.

How about fingerprint, does it works?
I personally will use Lineage OS 16..Because Lineage OS is a kinda light if you compare it with stock roms.. Try to give it a shot maybe

Also, it worries just like it is supposed to and rubs on stock kernel, because of this, it delivers more performance.
