Dual Boot Wolf TW007.1 AND TW008?

aimed mostly @gregbradley

is it feasible to dualboot my existing TW007.1 (all setup and purring very nicely) with this new TW008? Would like the ability to revert to my existing setup, while being able to play with TW008 and try out the various mods/addons/kernels before deciding on a final combination.

After getting my perfect WolfROM, then could i remove the TW007 and add EWJet or similar?

Thanks

Edit: I realise I can go the backup existing/install new/play/backup new/restore old route, but would prefer the obviously simpler dual boot system, if possible

Its normal that video recording in 720p often lag ? Lags are about ~2s (screen freeze for 2 seconds). I`m on 7.2 with stock kernel. If its normal on stock kernel maybe on custom its better ? 640x480 is workig perfect.

I Have also standard 8 GB, 2 class card maybe its too slow ?

Ok Every Thing Is Nice but I cannot Find Video Player And When I Backup And Restore The Aplication My Backup Root It Cannot Be Play I Download Again From Market and It Can Play
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Perceval from Hyrule:
Here are my returns about 008 :

- nice, you removed HEP and some values about GSM from build.prop. They could cause instability on few networks :)

If anyone want to restore everything, just run my Build Worktool.

- On my x10i, tested with BB 67 and 54 (always using it) : custom kernel causes Wifi error (when trying to run it it will display "error"). Any idea if it comes from your patch or from zKernel 0507 ?

Hope this will help to solve problems, I'll run ADB log cat to Wifi when I'll get some time...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Alucard93:
someone have GApps updated because the GApps of main thread is outdate???

P.S. I can't download of Android Market because all Google Apps say not available for your country or something like that and I tried installing manually and now I have multiplies WLOD, and I had to install all the ROM completely again :(
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] WitchMX:
REbooting

I had V007 and installed 008 on top of it, then the custom kernel add on. I have BB 54, but the phone started rebboting randomly (apparently). I think both times happened while downloading something from the Market, but that could be casualty. Restored my old 007 and the again installed 008 without the custom kernel and its been working fine.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ricardofago:
Tried V008 for a while, as many users were reporting problems, reboots or WLODs. First tried zKernel + baseband 67, no WLODs or any other problem after phone settled down. One or two days later flashed FreeKernel mod v3.52.2 + baseband 52, which I believe has a better battery management (due to underclock, or maybe to undervolt). Everything kept running really smooth, not a single problem up to now.

By the way, if you are getting problems with custom kernel, that's how I got it working flawlessly.

0. Flashed TW V008 over baseband 67 as described by Wolfbreak in first post.

1. Rebooted and waited for phone to be stable. Some reboots and freezes are possible until your phone get signal.

2. After getting signal, rebooted and flashed zKernel with xRecovery.

3. Rebooted phone and waited for it to get stable again. Some reboots and freezes are possible until your phone get signal.

I would recommend you guys to leave the phone alone in steps 1 and 3 until it gets signal. It takes just a few minutes.

Then I decided changing to provided FreeKernel v3.52.2, so I rebooted, flashed the baseband patch with xRecovery, rebooted again (now phone won't get signal). Flashed baseband 52 with Flash Tool, rebooted again, flashed baseband patch again, and rebooted once again. Left the phone alone for a few minutes and it got stable, checked kernel was working successfully and I got signal.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Wolfbreak:
Its due to Overclock, disable it or dl the latest zKernel 05072011 i linked in OP
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gregbradley:
Is the custom kernel you linked to the new one, because I took a quick peek inside and it looks the same as 23062011... or am i just being blind
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Wolfbreak:
Its made for Stability [no OC] so it sould solve WLOD. Maybe you looked at the wrong file, i posted the new one after older zKernel becouse you need to flash that zip first becouse it contains Bootloader bypass files and all and the other only boot.img and wifi.ko

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=15390226#post15390226
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gregbradley:
You misunderstood.

I downloaded the custom kernel from the OP and just flashed it.

It says 23062011.

Where is the link for 05072011...

If its on the OP i cant see it....the only one i can see is

which links to 23062011 kernel

EDIT

I have now found it through the link in your post, but i must be really blind as I still cant find it on the OP:)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] WitchMX:
Thanks Wolf, I'll try that and report back.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Lockon Stratos:
Finished installing dual boot system about 8hrs ago and so far so good. Wifi & data are working on both roms and so far no FCs & WLODs. I also updated the kernel on the dual boot using the zip that Doom provided then I installed the appropriate wifi module. The 2.1 rom is now on Goro's 3.47 kernel. :D

So now I'm running v008 bb52 with Goro's 3.52.2 kernel and Rdannars 2.1 modded by Doom with Goro's 3.47 kernel. :cool: :D

previous post

@gregbradley

Hi, wondered if you'd seen my post on page 188 and had any thoughts

TIA
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] gregbradley:
Yes that would be possible.

In theory you can have 3, 4 or more roms avaialable to boot as long as there is enough internal memory.

At the moment the 2.1 roms i dualboot are stripped down to the bare bones in order to fit them on the internal memory and i have not looked too much in depth into wolfs roms to see what can be got rid off.

I have to ask why you would want to do this, I dual boot a 2.1 rom to get a decent camera working whilst being able to have the benefits of 2.2 and flash player.

I am not sure on the benefits of having a stripped down v007 dualbooting with v008, but if you are keen I will see what i can do.

I cant promise much, I am not the developer here, I just stand on the shoulders of giants!!!

let me know if you want to continue, I can either look into it myself or point you in the right direction

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Lockon Stratos:
@ZimmerAndy G-face is on point. It has been out for a while but do not use the zips from the link that G-face posted cause it will flash the kernel of your MAIN ROM.

I used the zip created by Doom from the link below to flash 3.47 on the 2.1 DUAL BOOT.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14528260&postcount=87

If you are already on a dual boot, just mount system then flash the zip. Remember that is for BB 52 and not for higher basebands.

EDIT: Yes I was already on dual boot using v008 bb52 + Rdannars 2.1 modded by Doom. And I forgot to mention, make sure you grab the addon wifi.ko from here:

http://www.mediafire.com/?srivglh3a5g2dhk

Once you've downloaded the zip, extract to your PC, boot to your 2.1 rom then push wifi.ko to /system/lib/modules.

Dual Boot Wolf TW007.1 AND TW008?

@ gregbradley

my thoughts were that I could keep my existing TW007, which I have set up exactly as I want and used daily alongside a TW008 that I could set up, play with and ultimately replace the TW007. I hadn't realised that any 2nd ROM would need to be stripped down in any way, I made the assumption that both ROMs were pumped to the gills full of goodness.

I aimed my posts at you because although I realise there are many devs, modders and themers etc, that ultimately contribute to the final 'product' you appear to be a leading light in the dual boot area (and yes I believe that Z was the original instigator)

I am reasonably technically minded, but new-ish to Android and would be happy to try myself, perhaps you could point me in the right direction though?, without wasting your time of course.

On a basic level I guess both ROMs coexist in memory, but are accessed by way of a boot loader in much the same way as a dual boot OS on a PC, could not one of the ROMS be SD based or does it have to be in internal memory to function? (My brother has an HD2 and he used a similar system to run WinMo 6.5 in NAND and Android 2.2, I think, off his SD card), this is how I thought it would work -- might have to do some further reading.

One full and one part ROM is not ideal and possibly not worth pursuing beyond what is already achievable. Maybe the primitive (read less elegant) Backup/Restore system I am using IS the best way atm.

Any pointers would be helpful -- appreciate your time and help.

Battery drain

I love this ROM and its great, but it has a terrible batter life. Radio drains a lot of battery, also the wifi. for the first time my display is not the biggest consumer of battery. Its the radio.

I'm on custom kernel on bb67. I also did the modification mentioned in this forum, but still this ROM uses a lot of juice.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Prodigy:
Have you tried another baseband e.g baseband 52?

.67 is more (apparently) optimized for americans and therefore may be the cause of battery drain in other areas, not to mention tehran:)

Try .52, and report back. :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Lockon Stratos:
LMAO anyway bb65 gave me more headaches than bb67 so I also switched to bb52. Those dang yanks LOL

Wolfbreak, I've to dissapoint you... TW v008 is the most unstable version of your ROM I used for a long time. I just install a APK reboot and yes bootloop! I move app2sd and yes bootloop. Even on stock kernel :( It's really a pain in the ass for me! Why do I deserve this XD

I hope you can fix all bootloops soon, your ROM is really great... :( I can't wait, seems I have to go to stock ROM now...

Did you disable Overclock or installed latest zKernel 05072011? Im running V008 custom Kernel 23062011 since it is out and even with Overclock, i tried zKernel on all ROMS and on none 1.1ghz was stable for me only on my ROM it was stable for me until now, its not even stable on 2.1 i get 3-4 WLODs a day with OC on all other ROMs so for me its the exact opposite. But you can try Goros new 3.60 kernel too its for BB67!

I just tested the new 3.60 kernel on this rom with baseband 67, it didn't work.but that may be because the download link for the froyo version is the same a eclair version. I am waiting for them to update the link and I will try again.

Ps, the issues were

No data

Phone froze after 30 second and I had to pull the battery to reboot

I just tried TW008 and I'm having errors on wifi, I've searched the forum and find nothing about it. I have a x10a with bb52, custom kernel 3.52. Since TW007, I found that the rom is sluggish. Not as snappy as the v006 with TW Update and custom kernel 3.51 or 3.52. I try the new kernel 3.52.2 and it makes the rom so laggy.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Wolfbreak:
Thats due to some Tweaks, you need to let it settle all after some Days and some Reboots it should get alot faster then V006. Install the new 3.60 kernel or zKernel and dont forgot to patch the right wifi.ko file always, you can search Doomlords Thread for that, when you get a error when enabling wifi just patch wifi.ko again, but only wifi.ko not the full Kernel, you can find only wifi.ko files on doomlords Thread.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Lockon Stratos:
Linpack scores between 37-39 for me. I'm on v008 with Goro's 3.60 kernel but I don't use Data2SD or App2SD cause I have too much videos & pictures on my sd card :D. I know this score is probably lower compared to other ppl but I really don't pay much attention to the benchmarks. For me it's the actual performance that counts.

My device has been good since v007 and now v008. I've used different versions of zkernel but I've found that Goro's kernel is much more stable & smoother. So I've always come back to Goro's kernel since v3.49 and I don't remember any lags or WLODs even with UV & OC. All has been smooth pairing up Gkernel with Wolf's awesome rom. The only time I remember getting WLODs on this combo is when I used Setcpu to set different profiles OR if I use CPU Master. Once I stopped using them it's been nothing but smooth.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] G-FACE:
Just to make a note: as far as i remember, both zKernel and Goros' K without SetCPU or CPU Master works on 254-998 by default. ;)

that is true for z's latest(05072011) but goros 3.6 goes from 128 to 1113, and for me all are stable....

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Lockon Stratos:
zkernel I don't quite remember but on Goro's I always see 1113 (1152 on older versions) without setcpu or cpu master.

Edit:

@Gregbradley Now that Goro made a kernel that will work with bb52+, I can now test out dual boot using Erick's rom. I'll play with that later on the day and see how it works. :cool:

WOW, great to see the best kernel up to now is now compatible with newer basebands! I've been wondering what's the best baseband for Brazil... Does anyone know? Does anyone know even what frequency range is each baseband built for? (Here it seems to be 1800MHz in 2G, 2100MHz in 3G).

I've been wondering too if I need to reflash ROM... I have TW V008 with baseband 52, so I flashed a baseband patch. In order to change to higher basebands, can I just flash the other baseband patch? Or should I reflash the whole ROM from the scratch?

Thank you, guys.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] G-FACE:
You see them , because you use those programs. But if you don't use, the default set freqs are 254-998 :)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] G-FACE:
It can only do with the bb and the patch after that. No need to re-flash!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Lockon Stratos:
Cpu spy I do use but like I said, I DO NOT use set cpu or cpu master and I still see the cpu being OCd. I dunno if I installed something else that could be causing this but I know I don't have both. I'm just reporting what I see that's all. ;-)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] G-FACE:
Hm, i dont know, but when wolf releases v07 custom kernel (3.49 as i remember) he offered CPU master, otherwise you could not overclocked the cpu.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Lockon Stratos:
Yep he did that's when I noticed that if I set the cpu to OC using cpu master or set cpu on zkernel that causes instability after 24-36hrs. Goro's kernels I left alone and never set OC on either set cpu or cpu master and it was very stable. Buf if I check cpu spy at the end of each day while on Goros, I still see cpu freq above 998 being used. Like I said not sure if I installed anything else on the device that caused it since I have too many extra apps.

Manually selecting a network operator didn't work with zKernel + baseband 67. Then I switched back to FreeKernel mod v3.52.2 + baseband 52 and it used to work again. Now I'm testing FreeKernel mod 3.60 + baseband 67 and it doesn't work (but it seems to connect only to the network operator I selected before when it worked). Could anyone with stock kernel + baseband 67 check to see if it's a kernel or a baseband issue?

Everything was tested with Xperia TW V008. Despite this, Wolfbreak's ROM is by far the greatest released up to now. I can't even think about a single thing (except this bug I just described) in this ROM which could get better. Seriously, someone in SE should give Wolfbreak an award and a high class job.

Yup it works fine. I've had v3.60 kernel for over 12hrs on v008 bb52 and so far everything is great. It picked up network operator automatically but I just tried the network operator search and it works. Below is my post from earlier and I've also attached screen shots.
