Don't use custom kernels if you want to avoid idle battery drain

Hi everyone,

I recently bought this phone and started using with custom kernel (Androplus and zach) which resulted in huge battery drain in idle like 1%/h. Then I tried everything like amplify, greenfly etc., but still i was not able to solve because there is battery usage which is not accounted in chart. After researching and I found this thread: http://ift.tt/29o8MDF where users from Z5 also had same issues because we are using same custom kernels and they found the fix by using stock kernel using beta8 kernel repack tool. I tried using my kernel and it worked as I lost only 1% for 12 hours. So if any one is facing battery drain issues with custom kernels then switch to stock kernel using beta8 patch. Seems like sony kernel is aggressive with core control and driver management which is needed for idle batter drain while screen off.

I'm attaching the stock kernel which I used in my mobile that is from .224 fw (India) patched with beta 8 for DM-Verity, Sony RIC, TWRP and DRM Fix.
For rooting(2.74beta), flash this in TWRP: http://ift.tt/1H95YEo
For Xposed(ARM64-SDK 23), flash this in TWRP: http://ift.tt/29cRUmg
And wipe Dalvik and cache before then reboot.

Hope my thread helps some and if it did then please don't forget to say thanks.
