Hi guys,
this is my intermediate result on working on the Kernel for the Z5 (e6653, sumire), which I'm currently using.
The Kernel for the Z4/Z3+ is a natural offspring since it belongs to the Kitakami device family with the subdevices sumire (Z5), satsuki (Z5P), suzuran (Z5 compact) and finally ivy (Z4/Z3+) - all named after flowers (in the case of ivy - rather a plant).
There's now also a Kernel for the dsds (Dual Slot/Sim) Version (E6533), which has been tested and confirmed to work by @a-st
Keep in mind that building for the Kitakami "Stock" Kernels, you're constantly facing the following tradeoff:
this resulted in a couple branches (at least 2 dozen) that are partially or totally broken :silly:
deviates / lacks from "stock":
All features, things should work - no guarantees
Before starting to test keep in mind that this is WIP (work in progress),
that means - NO guarantees,
backups before flashing are a MUST (especially your microSD card content !)
stability, speed and satisfaction are a great side-effect to have.
You have been WARNED !
Some notes - for best results:
Enjoy ! :)
Obligatory Source:
(according to the rules in single commits no giant blobs)
on github Sun-Kernel_32.2.A.0.224_vI.1_2_8 (Branch)
Mentions/Kudos:
@AndroPlus thanks for your great kernel base and support for all of the Sony Xperia devices - you definitely are a Sensei in that area ! :cool:
@Tommy-Geenexus another Sensei on the Xperia devices :)
@Furrydaus for the ramdisk of the Z4/Z3+
@ Olivier for his work on the Z4/Z3+
@auras76 Thanks for your great ROM !
@Adi Shakthi You are da man ! God's Kernel - there's truly no kernel like it ! @faux123 thanks for intelli_plug and Dynamic Fsync and all the other goodies - they are awesome ! :victory: @neobuddy89 Your kernels really inspire that there is more to be achieved :cowboy: @Cl3Kener @flar2 @DespairFactor @Imoseyon @showp1984 @myfluxi @savoca @franciscofranco @dorimanx @arter97 @ak @eng.stk You (and all other devs I might have forgotten) truly push progress forward ! :)

Keep in mind that building for the Kitakami "Stock" Kernels, you're constantly facing the following tradeoff:
- compatibility with pre-built "core" kernel modules (e.g. wlan, core_ctl, ...)
- compatibility with pre-built "goodies" kernel modules (e.g. video and other acceleration, hwcodecs, ...)
- losing features that can be replaced by similar ones (e.g. ecryptfs, wlan, exfat, etc.)
- when going too far the device doesn't boot or simply hangs on bootanimation
this resulted in a couple branches (at least 2 dozen) that are partially or totally broken :silly:
core_ctl (MPDecision) - bye bye you won't be missed
All features, things should work - no guarantees

Some notes - for best results:
- Base drain (in Airplane Mode) with several apps installed is around 0.5% [?] - which can be improved via XPosed Framework + AppOpsXposed (disabling Wakelocks of Google* apps)
- Make sure to freeze devicemonitor and sonymobile.anondata (or what its name is) - that is known to drain data
Select a Hotplug mechanism right after startup via e.g. Kernel Adiutor (works great, and I am using it all the time) and/or set it to persist- Greenify with root mode and aggressive doze (try if Boosted with XPosed works for you or might be worse), or shallow hibernation - set swappiness to 80 or 90 then
- For more fine-grained control of Doze use @franciscofranco 's Naptime or comparable apps
Enjoy ! :)
