hey BULL3TPR00F,

those apps are ment for users who have unlocked/cracked bootloaders... X10 uses a unique way to load custom kernels (kexec/splboot) so those apps wont be of any use to us...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] BULL3TPR00F:
yeah im aware that the x10 has to bypass the bootloader, but i didnt know that app requires a cracked bootloader.

thanks for the info. keep up the great work
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
well actually most of these app write the boot.img to boot partition...

this is from one of the custom kernels ment for Nexus One [i was trying to make it run for our devices but thats a story for some other time....:) ]

write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot");

since we are not able to write to that boot partition (yet) we cant use them...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Astral07:
i love how you devs always say: we're unable to (yet), gives me great hope :) keep up the good work!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
THANK YOU anantshri

guys we were finally able to figure out wht the issue was...

it was all related to using a wrong windows text editor (difference between WIN/LINUX characters)

finally got the problematic scripts to work....

i will be able to complete these scripts soon...

once again THANK YOU anantshri
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] anders260:
Doom, any news here?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rdannar:
Doom just wanted to let you know in public venue that your work... threads ... and help to others is well above most...

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] anantshri:
Hi DooM,

One simple trick which i was trying to remember nothing big but will save some time and space too.

echo "Hello" >> $LOG 2>&1

this will log both stdout and stderr on same file. $LOG.

hope this helps.

and ya i am also waiting to test this kernel manager.

EDIT : Sorry for top post
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
hey thanx Anant...

i will include that in future versions...

right now busy testing v0.2
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Great news!!!

GREAT NEWS!!!

hello my friends i have some great news for eveyone!!!!

Kernel Manager for X10 is v1.0 NOW and will be RELEASED SHORTLY

after 15 days of trying to make this work i am proud to say that its finally complete!!!

i have personally tested this over the weekend and let me tell u this is going to make our lives so easy for changing custom kernels/associated files!!!

i will be releasing this soon... have been awake all night, need some sleep, and have to prepare "readme" ;)

PLANNED FUTURE WORK

also at this point i would like to disclose some interesting news to everyone...

we.. DooMLoRD, MrHassell, Chumby_666, kxhawkins are working to create an amazing thing for our X10 based on this... basically we are planning to create an APP for this AND CUSTOMIZED RECOVERY WITH KERNEL MANAGER INTEGRATED so that u can select custom kernels right from recovery [no need to keep flashing zips ;) ]

THANK YOU ZDZIHU FOR RELEASING THE XRECOVERY SOURCES

MrHassell is planning to work out android APP related aspects

Chumby_666 & kxhawkins are planning to work out recovery menu integration aspects...

i will help them out whichever way i can...

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Ladies & Gentlemen... Boys & Girls...

DooMLoRD is proud to present to u the first public release of

Kernel Manager v1.0

!!!

Kernel Manager v1.0

Release Notes:

There are two update.zips which are provided

KM_v1.0_install.zip (installer update.zip)

KM_v1.0_uninstall.zip (un-installer update.zip)

For the sake of testing I will be providing only 3 kernels for testing:

FreeXperia Kernel-001 [FXK_K001_J]

FreeXperia Kernel-006 / beta6 [FXK_K006_J]

TripNKernel Modified FreeKernel-03 based on zdzihu's FreeKernel [TK_FK_B3_Z_T]

The associated modules (wifi.ko / ar6000.ko) are also provided in the included package

Details (check 1st post)

CM7 USERS / USERS WHO HAVE CUSTOM KERNEL AS DEFAULT BOOTING OPTION PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS RIGHT NOW

I WILL RELEASE A COMPATIBLE VERSION SOON

I have tested this on FreeX10-beta4-hotfix1 on baseband 2.0.52 and it works well!!!

P.S.: u will need to be on baseband 2.0.xx (2.0.52 preferred you can download it from BaseBand Collection) for using custom kernels... froyo users can use Base Band Patch for 2.2 roms...

please do a lot of testing on other ROMs and post feedback...

i will be adding a detailed how-to shortly...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ballubas:
edit : already answered in first post

install the .zip files through xrecovery?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] colossus:
@Doomlord

Hey buddy, congratulations on your latest venture, i will be testing later for sure, my question is can we incorperate, somehow, the latest fix by 9Lucas5 for those having problems with our phones going to sleep whilst using custom kernels, a fix included to use in this would great.;)

Thankyou for your tireless hardwork.:)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
cm7 users / users who have custom kernel as default booting option please do not use this right now

i will release a compatible version soon
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
hi smartgardens,

are u taking about the miniloader version issue? or something else?

i am not exactly sure wht the fix is... i was very busy for the past couple of days working on this project (as u can imagine) and havent been able to follow that thread... it has a LOT of zips to download and frankly i am a bit confused...

can u please explain wht were main issues and the corresponding the fixes?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] colossus:
Hi Doomlord,

Yes sorry I should have said, the miniloader has been the cause of problems again today with J's v020 k008, i wondered if this could help us in some way, seems more have had the issue today of screen off reboots.

I will pm you with the correct zips when I am back at my pc tomorrow.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
hey so the only issue was of miniloader version right? cause i saw a ton of files there for xbin/bin etc so got really confused...

anyways... if the problem was only miniloader version then i have included both available miniloaders as seperate update.zip as hotfixes in POST #2 please check them out!

also v1.0 is not directly compatible with CM7 roms / roms which come with some default custom kernel... the update.zip for v1.0 automatically overwrites default boot.img in /system/kernel/ folder to an older custom kernel and it sets SE stock kernel as default booting option...

the next version will take care of this...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Crowds:
Hi bro;)

after applying this on last rdannar`s its a no go :(

Rom: superaospX10project002

baseband: .49
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
whts the problem exactly?

u will still be able to get into recovery...

can u please post the log files from /system/kernelmanager/log/ & /data/local/tmp/km_log/?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] colossus:
Yes i have just checked post 2 and that seems exactly the problem i have discussed, i will wait for the updated version for cm7, also the using of a app/xrecovery to install kernels will be another great step foreward in the future, thanks to all concerned on that one-brilliant.:)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Crowds:
well...i think it doesn`t do anything since i´ve follow your steps, reboot an still be on 29 kernel.

log files attached;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
ah ok... so the update.zip installed fine...

the 1st boot was successful...

here is the problem:

-----[START LOG]-----

PROGRAM NAME: select_FXK_K006_J

Mon May 9 22:48:00 BST 2011

<< MOUNT / REMOUNT >>

Checking current system mount mode and remounting as RW if required

<< SELECTING KERNEL: FXK_K006_J >>

Displaying kernel IDENTIFIER

Copying selected kernel name
cp: can't create '/system/kernelmanager/selectedkernel': Read-only file system

<< MOUNT / REMOUNT >>

remounting system to ORIGINAL mount mode

-----[DONE LOG]-----

cp: can't create '/system/kernelmanager/selectedkernel': Read-only file system

so for some reason the mount commands are not working correctly...

also i think u will have some more log files in /data/local/tmp/

they will be beginning with km_log_

can u please upload them too?

also i think u have not run:

backup_stock.sh

as no log file for that exists...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Crowds:
here you have;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] icbless:
Hmm. Just asking, does this work on all 2.2 roms? i'm using WB roms and when i install the zip, i get into a loop of reboots. But on trip miui it works. i really like WB rom, so... =)

edit:
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Cuspide:
won't install. CM wb 006, bb52

error message :

E: Failure at line 2:

Copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:

installation aborted...

"edit: ok, i did a factory reset, and install all in one shot : CM WB6, bb patch and kernel loader... nor error this time.... "
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Cuspide:
is it normal to have when i run for exemple backup kernel :

stderr:

stderr:

stderr:

stderr:

.......

?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] icbless:
yes. as long you don't see something like ( cannot create...cannot find..etc )
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Cuspide:
Ok, sorry if the question i asked had an answer in the previous post.

Report working perfectly on CM WB 006 bb 52 :)

Very nice tool :)

thank you all for your work
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] icbless:
hello. i wan to ask you how did u manage to get it to work for WB rom?

i tried installing like this....and it boot to home screen n reboot. (endless)

flash

rom>update>bb patch>kernel manager>reboot.

and i have tried

rom>update>bb patch>reboot.

boot into recovery and den kernel manager.

which one did you do? Thnks

i tried on MIUI rom and it work..i dunno where i go wrong for WB rom.

edit: i tried both ways..now i trying without the update fix for WB rom.

edit2: i'm sorry i post 2 time abt my problem. but i solved my problem. flashing the hotfix(update from WB ROM) cause the endless reboot. sry to bother.

Thanks..GREAT WORK!! =)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Cuspide:
i did:

Flash bb52

xrecovery : All wipe factory reset

- install cm WB 006 zip

- install BB patch

- install Kernel Loader zip...

Reboot

then i followed the instruction with the script
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
i think the download package was corrupted... try downloading it again...

also there is no need to do a factory reset (it just wipes the data partition)...

but glad u got it to work!

yes its normal there is some issue with GScript which keep throwing such outputs on screen...

BTW:

each prgram will post its log/output in /data/local/tmp/km_log/ OR /data/local/tmp/ OR /system/kernelmanager/log/ (will streamline this in future releases)

the filenames of log files will be km_log_PROGRAMNAME.txt

can u please give some details about "flashing the hotfix(update from WB ROM) cause the endless reboot."?

thank you for testing!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] icbless:
What i did was..flash WB rom, normally which is

CM 6.1.3 [v006].zip>Hotfix for new Tweaks>BB patch>Reboot ( get signal and wait for everything to settle down )

Then i flash this Kernel Manager.

It will boot into "home screen" then reboot.

i even tried flashing all together without reboot. result = same.

but as Cuspide said..he flash everything without the Hotfix for new Tweaks and it work.

so..i think thats the problem. i hope i give u all the detail you need.

maybe i'm the only one experiencing this problem...but..here u go. what i did =)

great work btw =)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ripp2003:
thank you : I've moved the hw_config file (so the hotfix) and, the endless reboot has stopped ;-)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
i am sorry but i am back to using FreeX10-beta4 for a while now..

for WB's Cm6 rom is this the Hotfix for new Tweaks u are talking about?

CMFix v6 v61.zip
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ripp2003:
yes, i had the same probleme and after delete this fix, everything went fine ;-)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] icbless:
Yes! =)

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Cuspide:
CM WB 006 and zdzihu kernel .... Amazing !!!! i think i ll never go back to 33 fps caps.... :) every thing work ....

wifi, bt, led, luminosity, proximity, sensor.....
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gregbradley:
Are you using the latest tweaks update?

And does the cameras work?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ripp2003:
What a pleasure to test each kernet without the need of restaure everything ;-)

The 3 kernels works very good with the test_custom script.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
glad this test version is work out well...

dont worry abt other kernels...

in next versions i will be releasing ALL kernel files from:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1027111

but they will be in form of separate update.zips (which will be individually ~3MB) else if i include all in the kernel manager package then it will itself be ~50 MB ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Cuspide:
I'm using CM WB v006 , no more tweak update...

and yes Camera work, picture and video 720p

- GPS ok

- BT ok

- Wifi ok

- led ok

- flash led ok

- proximity sensor ok

- auto luminosity ok

- reboots none

- WLOD none....

Moving app to sd by application management not working.... Was working with stock kernel and CM 006
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gregbradley:
Thanks for the reply.....I may just give this a whirl now:)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
which custom kernel is causing this?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Cuspide:
Zdzihu... bêta 1...

I'll report battery tomorow ... i'll leave it all night on stand by ....
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
u mean: TripNKernel Modified FreeKernel-03 based on zdzihu's FreeKernel [TK_FK_B3_Z_T]?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Cuspide:
Yep... this one. So smooth and fast... really impressive ...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
yes that kernel has native app2sd issue... something to do with integrated ramdisk...

i have used it for some time but found that it keeps rebooting the device often...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Cuspide:
Never had a reboot.

Is there any another kernel with fps caps unlock ? J kernel lost the fps uncap after screen off....
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
nope none that i can remember...

i guess we will have to wait for a kernel which has both fps cap removal + overclock...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gregbradley:
Thats the one I am really hanging out for.....
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Cuspide:
So far really amazing tool, i just swap between the 3 provided kernel, and it works flawlessly... :)

TK_FK_B3_Z_T: real fsp uncap, every thing working, except app on sd card... No reboot, no WLOD played with it all day long....

FXK_K006J: no problem, but no fps unlock

FXK_K001: fps caps unlock, but revert to 33fps as soon as the screen goes off... Wired...

It realy nice that we can mix BB, rom and Kernel... but it makes a lot of possibility to report ;)

A post to compile all combination and resutl would be great...

I'm waiting for other kernel to test...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Cuspide:
TripNKernel Modified FreeKernel-03 based on zdzihu's FreeKernel

+

Wolfbreak CM v006

+

bb52 (with the BB patch)

Result : no caps on fps, 1400 point at quadrant and everything working: bt, wifi, proximity sensor, led, flash, barnacle tether, etc....

Only bad behavior report: no gps, no way to move app to SD, and battery drain.

With fully charged and let on sleep mode, after 7 hours, only 35% left...

DoomLord, do you think you can provide the K009 kernel from J, for the Kernel Manager ?

I'll like to give it a try ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ripp2003:
With the kernel modded by z trip, my gps doesnt' work.....
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Cuspide:
You re right no gps... I was almost sure to have see the gps icon... :-(
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
i was actually planning to wait till v1.1 for adding more kernels but i think i will release some right now for v1.0...

please wait preparing files...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] anders260:
Any news when we can use this when using custom kernel as default?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
i am already working on v1.1 to take care of this automatically but till then u can actually try v1.0 as-is... but please take nandroid/recovery backup before testing... also when u get into OS immediately launch gscript and run set_default_custom.sh... thats it... adn dont worry even if OS keeps crashing... the recovery WILL BE INTACT... so please take backups before testing this...

v1.1 should be released soon (within a day from now)...

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
yes thats a known issue due to integrated GB specific ramdisk...

tsuyo.kou has a solution with froyo compatible ramdisks... i have contacted him to get those files.. will post them for kernel manager when they i get them...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SErooted:
Doom,

Finally took the step as suggested earlier and installed v1.0 works like a charm. not sure what help i can be here. if there is anything specific you need tested or double checked, i have the time. Anything i can do to help just let me know

please tsuyo.kou , could you compil for Froyo ?

Thanks ;-)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
hey everybody i just wanted to update everyone on whts going on my end...

i am working on a version which will be compatible with ROMs who have custom kernels as default booting option (like CM7 roms by J)... will be calling it v1.1

its already ready but i am doing some testing on CM7 v020a... everything (switching kernels/modules, taking backups of original chargemon, taking backup of stock modules) seems to be working out well...

there is only one issue which i cant do anything about older-incompatible-ramdisks... since i am testing on the latest CM7 rom, when i select older kernels (k001/k006) upon reboot the system keeps crashing but thats expected cause of in-compatible ramdisks.... also when i used trip-modded zdzihu's freekernel-alpha1 the system is stuck at SE text logo... again this is expected cause of the older ramdisks...

will be doing some further testing on CM7 v020a (and if possible FreeX10-beta4-hotfix1) and incorporating newer files/flags so that recovery always remains intact and u should be able to get back to stock modules (including default custom kernel on roms who use it) even from recovery...

so i hope that answers some of ur questions as to why it is taking time to release newer version...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
need some help

need some help

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Kernel Manager v1.1

Release Notes:

There are three update.zips which are provided

KM_v1.1_install.zip (installer update.zip)

KM_v1.1_restoremodules.zip (emergency restore update.zip)

KM_v1.1_uninstall.zip (un-installer update.zip)

For the sake of testing I will be providing only 3 kernels:

FreeXperia Kernel-001 [FXK_K001_J]

FreeXperia Kernel-006 / beta6 [FXK_K006_J]

TripNKernel Modified FreeKernel-03 based on zdzihu's FreeKernel [TK_FK_B3_Z_T]

The associated modules (wifi.ko / ar6000.ko) are also provided in the included package

This version should be compatible with all roms

no more mounting/remounting for user-executed scripts (gscripts)

if u have used v1.0 before flashing u will have to manually remove each script which u had initially loaded from v1.0 in GScript

If ur current rom does not require default custom kernel then please delete /system/kernel folder before flashing installer update.zip

u can always flash KM_v1.1_restoremodules.zip if u face any problems like installer update.zip did not flash properly / u are stuck at SE text logo (ramdisk related) / facing contant system FC/crashes (ramdisk related)

Details (check 1st post)

THIS VERSION SHOULD BE COMPATIBLE WITH ALL ROMS FROYO/GB AND WITH CM7 USERS / USERS WHO HAVE CUSTOM KERNEL AS DEFAULT BOOTING OPTION

I have not yet added the fixed files by tsuyo.kou... will be releasing them as separate hotfix/kernel set packages

I have tested this on FreeX10-beta4-hotfix1 on baseband 2.0.52 & CM7 J020a K009 and it works well!!!

P.S.: u will need to be on baseband 2.0.xx (2.0.52 preferred you can download it from BaseBand Collection) for using custom kernels... froyo users can use Base Band Patch for 2.2 roms...

please do a lot of testing on other ROMs and post feedback...

Right i have downloaded all 3 update zips, do i flash all 3 for v1.1 or just the install zip?, the rest is easy to follow just confused about that part, sorry if it been asked before.;)
