Sorry if I'm making you repeat yourself but I'm confused...

Is the chargemon included in the OP zip going to work on stock booting TW007.1? I'm a little confused by the talk of different RAM disks... From what I can tell the zip on the OP has chargmon miniloaders etc, all the things needed to boot a custom kernel. Why would this not work with the stock version of WB's ROM? Is the ramdisk part of the boot.img file? That would explain why I see no direct evidence for it in any of the attachments... :confused:

Would it be possible to install the zip from the OP and then install the boot.img from doomlord?

To clarify, I have BB.58 and TW007.1 (stock kernel)

Thanks for helping. My brain just isn't up to any complicated tasks today! :(

Hi, welcome back to xda. You don't need to reflash, just delete with root explorer the following 3 files: busybox, chargemon and xrecovery.tar

You can find them in system/bin folder.

Then install xrecovery 0.3 from the original apk, open it, and hit "Install xRecovery", if succesful you should see a green mark over each installed file. I hope it helps you :-)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
hey try the GB one (based on ramdisk FreeXperia Kernel K012b 128Mhz).... u will need wifi module for froyo & may need that wifi FIX patch...

@tkymgr hey i checked ur ramdisk and u dont set cpu freq to 1113 during boot its always set at 245-998... (init.rc)

# cpufreq defaults
write /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq 998400
write /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq 245000

what i am confused abt is this: (init.es209ra.sh)

value=`getprop persist.maxcpukhz`
case "$value" in
"")
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq >\
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
;;
*)
echo $value > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
;;
esac
;;

^^^ wont set it above 998 right?

glad u got it working :)

hope chiefy also gets it working this way...

hey lzyllp, which version did u try? the froyo specific one (with 3.51 ramdisk) or GB one (with FreeKernel k012b ramdsik)?

thats great aZuZu!!!! which version worked? the froyo specific one (with 3.51 ramdisk) or GB one (with FreeKernel k012b ramdsik)?

the OP has posted the files for stock 2.1 ROMs which are compatible with xrecovery v0.0.3 (differrent chargemon)

some of the custom roms use freexperia recovery (different version from xrecovery 0.0.3)... so if u directly flash the files in the OP it MIIGHT BREAK UR RECOVERY...

boot.img is a file which contains main kernel (zimage) + integrated ramdisk for booting (ramdisk.gz)...

the ramdisk contains specific code for different android versions to boot correctly with some features specific for that android version... thts why if u use 2.1 ramdisk it might not work on 2.2/2.3 and vice-versa...

additionally some features like cpuscaling, wifi module setup (app2sd???) are introduced in enabled/set in ramdisk so thats why some ramdisk work for some ppl while for others it may not work...

try this way

Hi guys,

I released an alternative kernel for those suffering from a random shutdown issue.

If your phone works fine so far, you most likely don't need this!

Please find the kernel in the first post.

In case of any problems, please report in this thread. I won't be able to reply until 4/07.

Cheers,

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
aZuZu thanks for that!!

i was using blank cmdline parameter... could that be the cause of problems for some users?

cause in some kernels it is always blank (FreeKernel mod3.xx kernels)

also on my X10 i didnt have any problem when using them with blank cmdlines... both on 2.2 & 2.3...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:

have u remove UV/OC in this?

i made one for GB using ramdisk from "FreeXperia_kernel_beta12b_128mhz"

problem is wifi isnt working :-|

which is very odd... cause the wifi module is exactly the same (same md5 hash as 22062011)

@azuzu

if u integrated chargmon files then it wont work on CM7 cause CM7 uses freexperia recovery and might break recovery if diff chargemon is used ;)

THIS IS EXPERIMENTAL AND I DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT UR ROM WILL WORK PROPERLY AS SYSTEM FILES WILL BE CHANGED

Do it at your own risk and it's not supported by the rom dev (jerpelea / others)

u guys for testing these thing we cook-up :)

[ Requirements ]

CM7/GB rom

Baseband 2.1.xx (preferably 2.1.67) (you can download it from BaseBand Collection)

Baseband patch (2.1.xx) for GB from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1053221 use the file cm7bb54.zip

wifi module only:

http://doomlord.sylvester20007.com/...les/modules_zKernel_23062011_alt_wifi_CM7.zip [mirror]

[ HOW-TO install on CM7 ]

make sure that ur rom supports custom kernel booting (CM7 by default supports custom kernel booting)

take a FULL NANDROID/RECOVERY BACKUP before testing any of this

power off device flash baseband 2.1.xx (preferably 2.1.67) using flashtool

boot device and immediately get into recovery

flash baseband patch cm7bb54.zip (if ur rom doesnt support baseband 2.1.xx) [CM7, as of now, doesnt support 2.1.xx]

flash boot.img

flash wifi module

restart device now it u should get this kernel and rom working on CM7/GB

if ur GB rom doesnt support custom kernel then u need to follow this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13022717#post13022717

before doing anything from here... ( only skip the part when-in u have to flash baseband 2.0.52 & related patch) [i will update that guide in a while]

if ur GB rom already supports baseband 2.1.xx THEN DO NOT FLASH BASEBAND PATCH

I have yet to try this on anything above 2.1, and agree with some previous comments about keeping this thread for 2.1 users (as per OP this if for 2.1 bb54+)

However, i cannot blame you all for jumping on this for all roms!!

Please can anyone advise, i have intentionally flashed .54 generic (about 2 weeks ago) just so i could have 2.1 tweaked and occasionally use Z's 2.2 (i have a working back-up of both.

I tried to install this kernal using xrec 0.3 last night and it broke xrec and wifi..?! :/

This morning i have re-flashed 2.1/.54/.435 and "restored" my 2.1 so i am ready to try this again - do i need more than just the kernal zip?

Finally, Z - thank you for your hard work - i can see how good this looks and can't wait to try it on 2.1 and 2.2

Please can anyone inbox me help, i don't want to mess the thread up anymore!

Does a Kernel update delete any apps/data?

Just need to know if updating the kernel would result in any loss of apps/data on my phone?

So I'll update the zip from Xrec 0.3 and then flash the baseband 67 using flashtool, right?

Currently using 2.1 update 1. BB 49

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] diimaan:
first make sure you have the xrec 0.3!

then follow these steps!

1, flash baseband 67 with flashtool.

2, reboot and you'll see no signal, in about phone your baseband will show unknown

3, from the xrec 0.3 install cm6bb54 patch.

4, reboot and now you'll have the signal and baseband showing as 67.

5, now install the zip provided by z via xrec 0.3!

no you will not lose data by doing any of the steps mentioned above!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] baba_baba:
Thanks diimaan but why do I need to install cm6bb54 patch ??
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
sorry dude... not really getting whts wrong... u seem to have done it properly...

better idea is to start from scratch with fresh 2.1 rom install
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] diimaan:
you need that patch for the ROM to think that it works on the correct baseband even though .67 baseband is not natively supported on your ROM. if you don't use that patch you won't get any signal
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] laill:
No need to use any patch.

Those patches are for 2.2,not 2.1.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mister-g1:
Testing this kernel for 1 1/2 days now.. Overall performance really improved. The phone feels as smooth as never before.. What a shame for SE! I got one reboot while installing apps through the market but the rest of the time, the kernel is stable and reliable. I don't know whether it's a bug or not but my phone seems to work nearly without loosing battery charge. Charged it 8 hours ago, looked up a few things in the internet via wifi (about 15 minutes) and let it sleep during the night. I still have 96% battery. This was impossible before with any rom (never tried custom kernels before). So I think this kernel is a very good compromise beetwen performance and battery life.. By the way.. This isn't a compromise at all - it's simply amazing ;) Wednesday I went to bed and my phone had about 35% battery charge. After sleeping 8 hours it had 36% - weird. I thought that this couldn't be real so I played a lot with it to see when it's shutting down. But the charge displayed seemed to be real. Charged it yesterday evening after it shutdown with 1% at 8pm. Impressive!

Here some testing results:

Linpack: 36,1

Quadrant standard: 858 (max 37 fps in rotating planet test)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] clixt:
To people not noticing the change after install:

If you reboot the phone and saw Z's Troll face (I love it lol), It means you installed it right...
