Really? So nothing can happen if I install now?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] harfot:
Updated to firmware 4.0.2.A.0.42 and installed DooMKernel v12 (1012) without any problems.

Next step is to try out the new function of recovery and then see how new kernel is working.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] P900:
But it must be re-locked bootloader right?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chitose_ndy:
Can we use another way to instal it?

Not from fastboot I mean..

Like from the phone itself..

Can we?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] le_manhpro:
ok peace of mind to go because I installed it without any trouble what, have to say is amazing:D:D:D, sorry my English is not good:p:p:p
[Xperia Arc Android Development] P900:
And you also have the 266 but Stock Rom? Which version did you install?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] le_manhpro:
yes I use the stock, then I pressed on and add flash v12, follow the instructions of the topic, you need to unlockboot loader:p
[Xperia Arc Android Development] P900:
Bootloader and Root I have already. Which version the 2 or 1.6 GHz?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] le_manhpro:
Version 1.6 for arc device is not compatible with version 2.0, and restart it normally, but with my arc s not like I used v12:D

Hows the batery drain on 4.0.1.A.283 (on standby mode eg:- while sleeping)

BTW whats new in 4.0.2.A.42

Donate to my paypal acc. if I helped you & if u can't, atleast hit the thanx button
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Ask Sony Ericsson.. They never give changelog of firmware...

Some ARC phones can handle 2.0ghz overclock...

No... Only option is to use fastboot...

I recommend that you Update to new .42 firmware...

Some devices don't boot on 2.0Ghz version...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] xexijreil:
Is this compatible now with CM7 FXP043?? I suppose it is but as u told us yesterday to wait I prefer to be careful ^^

P.D.: Can't wait to try it!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cezarL:
No!

This kernel is for stock ROMs / customized but stock-based ROMs, not for CM7, that's AOSP.

Wait for updates on Doom's other kernel thread, for the CM7-compatible version:

No, you will have to look for it in the DooMLoRD CM7 thread.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] chitose_ndy:
Okay.. only fastboot..

DooMLoRD,

if i flash new kernel on LT18i .42 firmware will it work properly?

EDIT: flashed new kernel on lt18 firmware. Booted successfully and at first glance seems all work fine...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] norberto_:
Hi,

Yes it will work. :)

I'm using .42 with kernel v12 some hours ago.

@DoomLord

In configuration, in battery usage I see that the device was 71% without the signal. Actualy the

I havent realy noticed that I was without signal but on two ocasions my bt device in my car signaled the same thing until I've turn the screen on. The signal just pupt up.

And in home I have perfect coverage. I also have a nexus one with the same network provider and there is no loss of signal

I think that there is our battery drain. Los of network signal when screen is off.

battery drain

I'm happy to tell u guys that I'm using SE.TWEAKED V0.5 Rom with doom's v12 kernel (even with 1.5 cpu speed) and there is no battery drain. thanks doomlord for your work...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
interesting... the newer basebands must be zapping the battery... oh well we will have to wait for newer FW...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
I don't think it's the kernel ... It's some issue with the firmware I think. For me it's about the 15% drain in 7 hours with update kernel;
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jlmcr87:
Doomlord you have a private message. I found the problem of the battery drain:

With v12 there is still battery drain but less.

I found the problem:

Setcpu-->Info-->Time in state

Here you can see that with doomkernel the phone never enter into deep sleep mode, only in the min, when you are not using it.

With stock kernel the phone is in deep sleep most of the time.

This is what cause the battery drain.

Solution: V13 with deep sleep:) Thanks doomlord for all your work!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
check ur setup, deepsleep is working fine on my phone
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jlmcr87:
I have the same configuration and apps as in stock, but with your kernel the phone didn´t enter into deep sleep.

Set CPU: min 122, max 1400.

Even I can´t see deep sleep in the graphic as a %. Directly don´t appear

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/827/screenshot201110242053.png/

2 hours and my phone is on 90% of battey. With stock 10%means one day for me

2days with v11-->battery drain-->Return to stock-->Bye bye battery drain--->V12-->battery drain again
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
i dont think setcpu shows deep sleep.. use the app Cpu spy to check deepsleep state...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jlmcr87:
Yes with the stock firmware i can see in that graphic the deep sleep state
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
CPU SPY:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jlmcr87:
I will try cpu spy. Wait a few minutes at least
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iAchilles:
@ Doomlord

1. i use .283 and v11 kernel .... so if i wanna use v12 kernel, just i must flash it again !? and nothing else !???? (and by what command !?)

2. why u HIGHLY RECOMMEND .42 frimware !?? actually .42 hasn't any diffrence vs .283 !!

thx
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
1] yes flash using the commands posted in first post

2] newer baseband (more info here)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] xexijreil:
Fine for me too!! :D

CPU SPY---> Deep Sleep 124%(this weird percent must be cause i rebooted system I suppose)

Set CPU---> 71,04%

Thanks a lot for your work m8!!

P.D.: I thought that with CM7 would perform better than with Stock Kernel but dunno if it's this new v12 or what but it fits amazingly good to Arc ^^
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Starwalker:
I can confirm this. The new Kernel v12 is working very well with this room and the extreme battery drain of v11 seems to be gone.

Thanks a lot for your great work!

Best regards

Okay, sorry doomlord the phone finally enters in deep sleep. I don´t know what´s the problem with your kernel but im going to revert to stock because of the battery drain issue. Thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
no problem mate... its ur call :)

i still dont get why some users are facing high battery drain...

which firmware are u using it on?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] erwin929:
I'm using 4.0.2.A.0.42.

By the way DoomLord. The other version (1.6Ghz) is diferent in any way???

Is it worth trying??

[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
only difference is that higher clocks are disabled...

its upto u if u want to try it :)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] harfot:
I have now been using v12 kernel for 18 hours. I have used it all day, not heavely, but used and used 80% of battery capasity (2700 mAh). I have a constant about 30 services running in back ground and to to 10 active programs, so I don't think it is abnormal. Deep sleep is 30% and 122 MHz is 30%.

Kernel it self is running smooth and good to being able to back up sd-ext.

With V11 I had minor problems connecting to wifi, but they are gone now.

Thank you :-)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kiko_1272:
Running v12 on the Arc 4.0.1.A.0.283. Everything seems pretty good and normal.

Running it at 1.9Ghz Max runs perfect, no issues to report.

Running it at 2.0Ghz Max and everything is fine for a full day but then it becomes less stable. Now from time to time the phone freezes, screen slowly goes black and phone restarts. Any ideas? Thinking too much power for the CPU to handle.

Reverting back to 1.9Ghz Max through SetCPU and everything is running perfectly.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] xexijreil:
What governor do u guys use for normal use in v12?

Yesterday all seemed pretty good but this Night I 've had battery drain in airplain mode, and seems that I'm having a bit now while deep sleep.

Same here, Battery drain problem, i've even set profile "screen off" "power save"

still it drains battery :) done know why.

yes 1.9 is stable. @ 2ghz phone reboots while playing games. :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tw1tterik:
running .283... this v12 is the first kernel that runs like it should imho... deep sleep works fine, wifi works fine and set cpu at 1,5... no problems what so ever..

[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
cant do much now... i already made a clean integration of my sources into the new 4.0.2.A.0.9 kernel sources... not sure where is the problem exactly
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tRippinthehead:
you don't have problem with it?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
the current drain is slightly above normal... v11 had a lot more... i think the v12 is better battery drain wise... also i keep flashing a lot of stuff (as u can imagine ;) ) so cant really estimate battery drain correctly, as i dont get time to calibrate battery :P
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
i wouldnt recommend mixing those files... but if u want to,

do so at ur own risk

if i remember correctly amss.sin is the baseband...

Special @ Doomlord & @ Other friends

my phone is on .283 frimware and v12 kernel and 1.4ghz and Smartassv2 and default I/O

Actually i didnt use my phone a lot .... and most of time was in my pocket and didnt use it and just using menu stuffs like Messaging and gallery ....

So this is it !

what u think !? is this battery good and is it good enought for using like i told u ? ? ? what can i do !?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Alfa Kenny One:
I dont think your battery is draining.. I think your BRAIN is draining :rolleyes:

And well ofcourse, with 2.0ghz everything goes faster.....:rolleyes:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hygge:
Not nescessarily as your phone will enter deepsleep with the same clock speed as other mobiles. Battery drain in deepsleep should be the same no matter how much you overclock your mobile.

And even if you clock it at 2GHz, it will only rarely run at this speed unless you play games, the cpu scheduler will keep it much lower even when listening to music or playing videos. 245Mhz-368Mhz should be sufficient to play music, it will run at this clock no matter how high you have overclocked it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tRippinthehead:
I just pointed to the kernel version used by me (2.0Ghz). ;) Above the frequency of 1.2GHz I almost never use.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chitose_ndy:
One simple question,

What is the most efficient setting?

What is the min freq?

and what is the max freq?

I'm using min 1GHz and max 1.6GHz

Smartassv2

Bfq

Battery doesn't drain too much.. but still I wanna know the best recomended setting..

Thank you :)

test release: DooMKernel v12 (moddedCWM) version!

[ info ]

this is same as v12 (1.6Ghz) kernel but i have included my own (modified) version of CMW5 recovery

[ screenshot ]

[ changelog ]

replaced CWM5 from FXP with my own slightly modified one

updated to CWM Recovery v5.0.2.7

added /sd-ext mounting in recovery (2nd partition of sdcard will be used for this)

enabled "Fix Permissions" and "Partition SDCard" options (under "Advanced")

cleaned up recovery source code for ease of use and SEMC device compatibility (removed unnecessary code)

[ WARNING!!! ]

PLEASE TAKE FULL BACKUP OF SDCARD BEFORE TESTING THIS

"Partition SDCard" option WILL WIPE UR SDCARD!!!

[ download links ]

[ARC/ARC S] DooMKernel (v12) [moddedCWM] (FW: 4.0.1.A.0.283/4.0.2.A.0.42) [ 1.6Ghz version ] (alternate version [will show up as 1012])

[ MD5HASH: afa4670cc7adb1fafd594d294fddd2d9 ]

i need u guys to test out if everything of this new recovery is working correctly...

please test out everything and post ur feedback...

ENJOY!

please tell me why the v12 model, :mad::mad:only 1.6 and not 2.0, sr my english so bad tks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
i need testers for the newest v12-moddedCWM version!!

once we are sure new recovery works well it will be integrated in other kernels (including CM7)...

so instead of cribbing please test!!!! ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] le_manhpro:
ok I will try and report back if any problems occur, and now the dow and install:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bassie112:
That would mean it can't get lower than 1Ghz, even in screen-off, which is not smart. I would set the max around 1.4-1.6 (as you did) when stable and the min on 0.122 or 0.245 (lower is more energy sufficient but may be unstable when running a lot of background processes).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chitose_ndy:

1] v12-moddedCWM is a test version... I have added new recovery... I wanted users to test out everything so that I can add this new recovery to future kernels... since recovery is totally new there is a chance that some actions may wipe sdcard (partition sdcard option, other stuff)... that's why the warning.... only with testing we can know for sure...
