i have been working on an updated version of full touch recovery... it will be released soon along with version-20 kernel...

hmmm i am really not sure...

so basically u run into issues when u are finishing making NANDROID backups or restoring from them?

Hi DoomLord.

It is normal to the screen going off while dialing or receiving calls with your kernal? I'm new to Xperia's kernels, but i've compiled my own ones in ubuntu, debian, gentoo, etc, so I am very well versed on that.

test kernel DooMKernel v20 released!!

test kernel DooMKernel v20 released!!

[ screenshots ]

[ feature/changelog ]

updated ramdisk

now there will be a small vibration alert to tell the user when to press the recovery entry keys

updated full touch recovery:

now features "haptic feedback" - when u touch screen the device will vibrate little bit

shows battery percentage

shows current time (time when the recovery was entered/started)

uses new Roboto FONT (from latest CWM repo)

recovery build date/time is now shown

new "select update.zip menu": it will give u a new option - "show file details" - which will display the size (in bytes) and the MD5SUM of the selected file

added prompt to display the "backup folder name" when user starts restoring a backup

added a warning and option to abort backup if space on sdcard is < 150 MB

updates to kernel (all thanks to the awesome work of krizky82 for his X Kernel)

patched the kernel to upstream kernel updates (kernel is now patched to 2.6.32.58)

there are many more patches incorporated

this is a test kernel... i want to see if these patches are actually helping out or not... incase there is no real improvement i will revert back the patches...

since the kernel now has many upstream patches the kernel version string has changed... so u will have to flash the new modules to get WIFI to work!!!

@doomlord: noob here and i'm currently use v.19 with aniking rom, smooth as feather , oc to 1.6Ghz with -100mA.

battery even have longer duration use than original state

for daily use with 1.2Ghz

my question is, where do i check if my gpu is oc'ed?

and there's still issue where i'm switch fast from taking picture and switch to video capture " camera not found" with original camera app, but no big issue

no problem with other market camera app

thanks for this great kernel

I'll test more and let you know.

(Arc S - 134/1400 - SavagedZen - sio)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
With v20 it still freezes and reboots when running Quadrant at 1.8 GHz (smartassV2 / deadline). It ran fine at those clocks with v15 and below and StockPlus.

I'll do some more testing.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
Your phone doesn't "like" the new frequency table. And by the way, for an Arc, 1.8 is a bit too much of an overclock, +80%... :eek:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
I don't remember... Let me check...

I will see if I can get that fixed in recovery...

Currently there is no direct way to check GPU clocks, but I am working on something interesting!!!

I have fixed the camera issue last time... Is it still there in the latest kernel?

Why will this be the end of me? :confused:

And users have happily donated funds and now I won't have to sell my ARC :)

Iris ur Arc S is really optimized

The cpufreq driver is the same as v19... I will post a test kernel with older driver later...

BTW as per ur request, kernel debugfs is now activated!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hadichandra:
will try v.20 tonight

and inform whether the camera issue exist or not

Can somebody check that gpu overclocking is in v20?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] lzyllp:
Hi,Doom

I feel the V20 is faster than V19.Great Work

And I really hope you can release a version without GPU OC.It really make the 3D performance down.V20 also
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ALIRAFAAT:
sd files in v20 are shown like v 19 (dual Parallel list )
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
No camera issues whatsoever here.

Sent you a little something-something too. :)

I wouldn't have it any other way! :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
It improves it or does nothing, but we're all sure that it doesn't decrease 3D performance.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
It's quite different here. I did get 1-2 FPS lower in NenaMark2 when he implemented GPU OC but it might be caused by different benching conditions.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] lzyllp:
I try Quadrant 1.1.6 and 2.0 the 3d fps also lower than before.

and gpu Oc also will make the battery drain faster.

So I think a no gpu version is good and people can choice by themselves..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
I haven't got a problem with camera but during video playback (H264 480p/720p), after a few minutes it would black out for half a second and then continues playing. It's quite annoying since the audio cuts off too. Maybe it has to do with the reduced reserve RAM? Just guessing.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Yes because thats the design!

When u select a update.zip see the next menu!!

Thanks!

Between v19 & v20 do u see any difference in 2D/3D performance?

Hmm did u try changing the governor?

Also try the same file playback on v19 kernel...

If possible upload the file (or a small section/clip) for all of us to test!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
I don't think so.

Yes, happened with smartass, smartassV2, interactive and interactiveX.

Actually, it started happening since v18.

Providing a sample wouldn't help, because it happens with camcorder recorded videos too and chances of it happening is very low. For example, it happens once for every 2-8 of 24 minute videos played.

I'll try grabbing the logcat when it happens next time.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Most of the time this can be due to some sync app running in background...

[Xperia Arc Android Development] TheHaso:
Is this possible to flash in with locked bootloader ?

From my sexy LT15i
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
Your sexy LT15i needs an unlocked bootloader to accept custom kernels.

That's the whole point of unlocking the bootloader anyway.

So, nope.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Coolgoly:
Fastboot needs unlocked bootloader to work.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TheHaso:
so, theres no kernel i can flash with locked bootloader that allows overclock ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
Nope
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pollob666:
In fact, you can not flash any file if it needs "fastboot" for flashing. But don't worry, Unlocking is easy and you can re-lock it. (I have done it twice). There are two ways,

Sony way

other way

In Sony way, it is totally free :D:D:D but you loose your DRM and loose any software functionality that uses DRM. You also loose the capability of updating your phone using official "Sony PC Companion" or (maybe) "SEUS" or other SONY software. I unlocked my ROM in this way. In the other way, you use some tools (not free) but it may (I'm not sure, search the forums) retain your DRM and thus all the functionality.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] everb00b:
v20 has zram and clean cache?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
u can relock bootloader and then use SEUS/PCC

Stock kernel cannot be overclocked ;)

V20 has a slight different implementation of zram but cleancache is not there...

If I flash back v19 or v18 it boots up but not with v20 and I tried lots of times...:(

What can be wrong???

Thanks in advance...:)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
the new recovery has "Fix Permissions" & "Partition SD card" feature (WARNING THIS CAN DAMAGE UR SDCARD IF NOT USED CORRECTLY/PEROPERLY) [make sure you make a complete backup of your sd card before you create a partition! This process may wipe the card completely]

i havent done anything in specific to improve battery life... the voltages are still same as stock... also do keep in mind that if u use overclock a lot u will loose battery quicker cause those frequencies require higher voltages, and hence consume more power...

i feel the new stock FW 4.0 is draining battery faster...

though the best way to check is to use stock FW for 2-3 days then use custom kernel for 2-3 days and then compare
[Xperia Arc Android Development] babygau:
I already did it, will tell you in a couple of day ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tRippinthehead:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:

Thanks for the change log.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
can u verify if u get same error as reported by babygau a few posts above?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] babygau:
Just reverted back to v4, and it worked. So I can conclude the new v5 is not compatible with v4 backup.

I did flash back to v5 and tried to restore the v4 backup, but that problem still persist.

Btw, v5 backup & restore functions are OK with new backup :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
i didnt realize that there would be issues with CWM version backups... thanks for finding out this info!!! i will put up a warning in OP...

btw u verifed that restore/backup function with new CWM v4.0.1.4 (in v05) is working properly? i.e. taking new backups and restoring these new backups?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] babygau:
Just did the backup & restore for the new v5 kernel

Backup ... OK

Restore... Got the same msg as I encountered b4

I wonder if you did sth wrong with "data partition", just used the v4 to restore the v5 backup, it worked!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
So far it runs better in my opinion.

But I updated the ROM a few hours after flashing the kernel so I can't tell 100% sure.

Also I had to reboots at high usage, but did the same exact thing again (starting Asphalt 6 and going though the cars) and it went though fast and stable.

EDIT:

Just did it again :(

Gonna run Antutu a few times now to see if it's the game or the kernel.

EDIT 2:

Ran Antutu 3 times, no problems so the kernel should be fine :)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] spit85:
Which phone do you have? If you have the Arc lt15, you can use the testpoint method, whit the free tool s1tool, but it don't work whit the Arc S. I use this method to, and i can unlock en relock very easy, and you don't lose your DRM whit this method.:D

---------- Post added at 02:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

My Arc works faster, but whit v19 i can under-volt to -100 mV, but in v20 i only can under volt -75 mV, otherwise my phone powers down when under-volting -100 whit v20. And full touch recovery works sometime, and other times I mus press 2 or 3 time before the phone is acting, even when I feel the vibration when I touch the screen.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TheHaso:
Arc LT15i, and bootloader unlock is allowed, so i dont need to use testpoint method
[Xperia Arc Android Development] spit85:
When you unlock the official way, you lose your DRM. DRM don't come back when you relock your bootloader. Whit the testpoint method you don't lose DRM. So if you relock the bootloader, your DRM still there, and your warranty to. that's why I use the test point method.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TheHaso:
hmmm, you got a point there, but i think im going to wait for the official ICS or when the warranty is out :P :P
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
Just unlock it, it doesn't harm the device.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TheHaso:
after a little re-research, i think im going to give it a shot. know some thread or video of the complete process/tutorial ?? :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] spit85:

What is your baseband? Is your signal good, and how much it drains your battery? The baseband patches from DoomLord are for basebands -36 and -64. If you don't have that basebands, you must flash the baseband first, before you can patch it. But you can read it all in the treath.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DizXDA83:

But the WiFi it's faster and have better(stronger) signal but only a bit

The reboots was more with WiFi on I see that on the no data notification in the taskbar

About battery drain my opinion it's Same V19 to V20
