[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
Turned it off for a while and now it uses Deep Sleep again, hopefully that won't stop for 200-300 hours untill I restart it or it crashes
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nadias:
Please support felica and irda.

I'd like to use this kernel with my acro.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
i am not having any depesleep issues:

for those having deep sleep issues check if there are any background processes running

check that u have disabled "automatic time from network provider"
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
Strange.

Before automatic time and date was also activated but now I turned it off and will check deep sleep
[Xperia Arc Android Development] spida_singh:
i was having battery drain quicker with .368...hoping the kernal would improve it, ive disabled auto network time and will monitor.

I personally think it's the firmware. I got two days average usuage with the previous one, with 368, barely a full day.

My running services are minimal. will check over next few days. I have only just put the kernal on (2 days ago) and totally started from scratch with usage and app etc.

I only have one home screen, and 3 windows for installed app (not many apps installed in other word)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
Deel Sleep stopped to kick in again.

Really strange.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hygge:
I have no problems with deep sleep running .368 and Doomkernel V10. A test over 10 hours show 96% deep sleep and 4% at 1.4GHz, only 4% battery was consumed.

Have no task killers, cpu controllers, juice defenders, battery controllers etc. running, my best guess would also be that your lack of deep sleep is caused by some of the applications you have running in the background.

Try to disable everyting including wifi and data and check if deep sleep is working, then slowly activate/install one additaional app at a time to see which is keeping your phone awake.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tRippinthehead:
I confirm that I have no problem with deep sleep mode. I am sure your problem is not related with custom kernel. I think the problem lies in the applications you have installed.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dondavis007:
Is there a version of this kernel that can be installed with cwm, should be practical .

Thanks.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
we cant write to boot partition from recovery... so only way to flash custom kernels is via fastboot...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bassie112:
SetCPU profiles, probably the screen-off one, was the reason that my phone could not go into deep sleep. When I disable profiles it does go into deep sleep...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] inteks:
with setxperia you can use screenoff profile and deepsleep still works! ;o)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dondavis007:
Damn :-) Thanks for a great kernel!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bassie112:
Hehe nice, I will try. Have you allready incorporated the battery-saver governor? Like to use that for low battery profile but it only shows in SetCPU...

update: setxperia works great with deep sleep btw.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] spida_singh:
Something is not right on mine, average use today and battery has dropped to 35% in 5 hours.. :-(

what are people using for good battery life,

Can people list I/O schedules and the cpu govener please
[Xperia Arc Android Development] harfot:
What's running in background?

I've got 18% drain in 12 hours with a lot of program in background.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bassie112:
I use 1.517GHz max, 0.122GHz min, 85%, ondemand, sd read_ahead_kb=2048, vm.min_free_kbytes=2048. This gives me 100% stability and very good speed and respons. Battery is also quite good. Be sure it goes into deep sleep when on battery by checking with CPUspy. I used SetXperia's profiles to overclock as SetCPU's profiles prevent my phone to go into deep sleep. Also open push-connections and 1-30min updates (just use 60min intervals as a min) can wreck the battery.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
After updating Lookout Deep Sleep seems to be working perfect again. Hopefully that won't change.

Oc'ed with SetCPU, uv'ed with IncrediControl, no profiles and using smartassV2 0.122-1.2GHz
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
I would like that program too. I found when I use WidgetLocker and add a Widget it's not going into Deep Sleep.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nl2008:
Does anyone know how to install status bar theme only with green signal bars and battery icon ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Crocodile1973:
Doom, if you use no frills cpu control, set things in there. If you use xcharge to reboot phone or reboot into recovery, when booting back in, always gives unclean shutdown error. Use The normal way via power button, this doesn't happen.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
yes that happens cause we use a quick-dirty reboot... thats why u get "unclean shutdown detected"...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nl2008:
By using Setcpu with smartassV2 governor 112-1024 Mhz, the phone deep sleep like a baby and no need any profiles at all. Awesome ! Thanks for great kernel.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] NeoCream:
@Doom: when are you going to make the kernel CM7 compliant ;-)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gunawan-1:
Any idea how to get the original boot screen back after use this kernel? Thanks

GN Multimedia - Xperia Arc
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
there might not be any need for that... we are already adding most features of this to main CM7 kernel for Xperia 2011 devices...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] abhisheak.bansal:
after flashing your kernal,there is a problem in my arc......when i long press the home key the list of recently opened application does not open.....can anybody tell me the solution????
[Xperia Arc Android Development] festa20:
That's odd because my Neo's home button works fine with DooMKernel and my X10 did also with DooMKernel before it was stolen
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
Doom:

Did you try to unlock more RAM yet?

I'd would be great to have more than 340MB available to the user. 400-450MB would be awesome.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Saigonian:
Hi all,

I don't know if anyone face a problem like me, since I installed the kernel (V10) everything on my phone is fast enough, but only when I make a call, it's very slow. Since I press CALL button, the phone needs about 15 second to call out (the calling screen appear on the screen). Please tell me how can I fix it?

Thank you so much in advance.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Soheil_rf:
RAM memory

Hi Mate

Please try to unlock more RAM memory

Now we have only 334 MB Of 512 MB
[Xperia Arc Android Development] NiMH_999:
You can add a line in build. Prop to change that. Just search the forums

Edit: I have found the line for you

Try this itmay help:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] abhisheak.bansal:
i relocked the bootloader then updated my phone via SEUS then phone started working properly again....then unlocked the bootloader and then flased your kernal.....it worked out perfectly........
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
no those are no longer valid as i fixed the kernel sources to not show those frequencies
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pushtostop:
Hi

Just noticed my phone wont power on while charger is connected

Anyone no if tis is firmware or kernel related

On doomkernel v10

Thanx
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DemonicHawk:
Can v10 be used with the new firmware? Or is the kernel specific to .368?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
there are some issues which are getting reported by Play users:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17711304&postcount=277

but i have the latest kernel.sin files... so i am planning to release a test kernel which will be based on new ramdisk + .368 kernel source... most stuff should still work...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] spida_singh:
DooMLoRD, just for clarification, will your current V10 Kernal img work with the latest release Arc Firmware or not? (LT15i_4.0.1.A.0.283 Generic Global)

Or will we have to wait until a stable kernal is released for the above firmware due to new ramdisk changes?

regards
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
currently reported issues are (by Play users):

wifi dhcp not working (will be fixed with new ramdisk)

vibration not working (not sure of this)

can u just try the kernel right now and post ur feedback/report?

i am working on new test kernel... cant give ETA...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] spida_singh:
ok, im currently running on .368

Ill flash the new FTF (4.0.1.A.0.283)

Following by fastbooting your boot.img kernal

and then report back.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] spida_singh:
Success!!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] spida_singh:
Oc works ok

Changes

Inbuilt 3d camera...bold type font on keyboard..swype works well!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tRippinthehead:
we must wait until SE release the sources of the new firmware
[Xperia Arc Android Development] spida_singh:
I can confim

1. Wifi, i still havnt been able to connect to my home network (DHCP)

2. Vibration is not working, tested with haptic feedback and incoming call both with vibration set to 'yes' as an option

Ive noticed CRT screen off animation has been removed, and replaced with a 'fade out' 'fade in' screen.

Dragging icons to the top of the screen from the menu allows to share via facebook.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sinkster:
So the 2.3.4 firmware is compatible with doomlords kernel?

sinkster
[Xperia Arc Android Development] spida_singh:
Yes

it is compatible.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:

BT works

Any issues (if encountered) will be posted :)

Thank you Doomlord ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
Thanks Doom, now we can update :)

Is there a Global Generic 2.3.4 yet? I don't want to flash a branded firmware onto my Arc.

Btw:

Is a sd-ext in recovery a partition on the sd?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mano1982:
Great work, You are so quick DooMLoRD :D

Does viberation work also??
[Xperia Arc Android Development] crazymister:
a global generic is available. just check here ;)

and yes a sd-ext partition is on SD

sorry, i said it worked, but it doesn't...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mano1982:
Thanks DooMLoRD & CrazyMister :D Downloading now :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
Thanks

Dowloading now...

So everything like Deep Sleep works, too - it's fully working like on V10 on 2.3.3, right?

Btw, I don't lose my data & settings when I flash with FlashTool and uncheck "wipe user-data" right? Just want to double check as I don't have time and lust to restore my Arc.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] crazymister:
if you uncheck that options you don't lose userdata.

deepsleep not checked yet, not too important for me anyway. i use my phone a lot, but i manage all day, and only charge when going to bed :P
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
Oh, that's bad.

I think I better wait for a fixed version.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] liltennisdudexx:
unfortunately I got stuck at SE logo after flash the kernel, will download and test again
[Xperia Arc Android Development] erwin929:
I think that you should wait a litle bit more.

First boot takes some time. Trying the kernel wright now. I'll report feedback soon

Thanks Doom

Here is a beer on me XXX22407RN3448125 ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mano1982:
Just one bug so far:

- No Vibration :)

Everything other works like a charm :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hygge:
Have both the new firmware and the updated Doomkernel v10 installed. Overclocking is working and will continue testing :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] liltennisdudexx:
alright waiting a bit and the phone boots just fine hooray...however connect to PC in mass storage mode doesn't seem to be working( Micro SD recognized by phone, phone connect to PC ok, but no external storage visible in PC), could anyone test this out please?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] spida_singh:
After the Kernal flash, take the battery out and start the phone, i also got stuck at se logo, this solved it on second boot :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] liltennisdudexx:
could you try connect to PC in Mass Storage Mode, mine doesnt seem to work :mad:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] milkmanglc:
dont know if anyone has noticed but the new folder styles are also missing :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] crazymister:
New folder styles are present here. the new style is a little image of each shortcut in it

Sent from my LT15i
[Xperia Arc Android Development] harfot:
Installation - OK

Boot (after releasing battery) - OK

WIFI connected through DHCP - OK

Camera - OK

BT - OK

Vibration - not working

Thanks, DooMLorD
[Xperia Arc Android Development] spida_singh:
confirmed, not working here.

So in summary

No vibration working

No Mass Storage mode working when connected to a PC.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] crazymister:
Mass storage doesn't work, but also mtp doesn't work. Adb works so it does connect

Sent from my LT15i
[Xperia Arc Android Development] harfot:
+1, just found the same bug with Mass storage
[Xperia Arc Android Development] erwin929:
Ok then.

A like all of you gents I have no vibration

There is no vibration while ringing or touch screen vibration

But there is the smale vibe on boot

Also no mass storage

And, I dont know if we can overklock with this kernel but all tests with no-frils have failed. continuos FC

I haven't try SetCpu, a just dont like it

Whaiting for the next version

Cheers:)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Abaddon:
yep confirmed not working on my arc and play

everything works!

except for

-vibrate

-phone to pc connections

-adb

-mass storage

-media transfer

will wait a bit for a quick update hopefully :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
I need mass storage today. Will I keep root when I flash the stock kernel.sin? Yes, right?

Otherwise I put the card in the X10 to get the files :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Abaddon:
still waiting hopefully there will be a fix real soon :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] crazymister:
I must disagree with you.

ADB does work. Tested it yesterday by rebooting trough ADB.

Sent from my LT15i
[Xperia Arc Android Development] crazymister:
Set CPU didn't work for me at first either. Try making a backup and wipe user data. Then check if it works from a clean ROM

Sent from my LT15i
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sinkster:
As all above; no vibrate or pc connection via usb. Everything else works i.e. set cpu, apps2sd, v6 scripts etc.

Feels smoother and faster, quicker boot, screenshot option is nifty, just noticed 'friends games and apps' seems interesting.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Abaddon:
well yeah ADB works :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
try disabling USB debugging in Setting and check if USB storage works
[Xperia Arc Android Development] spida_singh:
I just tried this, and it did not work.

I get a removable disk icon in windows explorere, but no MSC notification on the phone, nor the ability to explore the SD when connected to the PC.

regards
[Xperia Arc Android Development] quangtus:
Me too. Must use a sdcard reader instead for transfer data.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] fuadjalil:
You can boot into recovery and then mount the sdcard. I think that is a much safer way since I have lost many sd cards to crappy card readers..... besides its less hassle....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hygge:
I have now run several Quadrant benchmark tests on the stock kernel of the new firmware and compared it with Doomkenel v10. Both get around 1650 at 1GHz, i thought there might have been some performance improvements included in the new kernel.

---------- Post added at 01:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 PM ----------

The dhcp function is functional but still partly broken, I have been going back and forth between both the stock kernel .283 and the latest updated v10 kernel.

DHCP is working on both but with wifi on the device start to drain the battery because of dhcp. The dhcp daemon continously renew the ip adreess every second and the Android System is consuming allot of battery and preventing the device from going into deepsleep with wifi activated. I noticed the same with the .283 kernel, only solution is to change it to static ip address.

Have anyone else experienced this? Odd behavior can be seen with logcat, please let me know if anyone else is experiencing this or if it is my software that are broken.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Finalfour:
Q: Can i use you kernel for newest 4.0.1.A.0.283 firmware? My bootloader is unlocked, now i am going to flash generic global 4.0.1.A.0.283 unrooted image via flashtool, and after that i want put you doom kernel via fastboot. Is all be all right? ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] harfot:
After a second reboot mine is absolute stable. Getting IP via DHCP, connecting and staying connected to myD-Link DIR-855 (setup to connect only to N-units).

---------- Post added at 01:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 PM ----------

Yes, with the exception of Mass Storage Mode not working as specified.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hygge:
Aha, found the cause of the problem, this must be a Android 2.3.4 fault, I do not recall having noticed this on 2.3.3.

I had put the the dhcp lease to never expire in the router on my ARCs ipaddress. It looks like 2.3.4 is unable to handle dhcp leases with infinite expirery date. It works fine now that I have released the ip address from being reserved for the xperia arc.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Finalfour:
Or maybe is better way flash rooted image of newest fw, and after that, flash doomkernel when it will be realised without bugs? Is posible instal doomkernel if i flasg rooted image of newest fw before?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bmwbasti:
Where to get the new stock kernel from?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] harfot:
Excellent, all these small things that have always worked and suddenly stops :)

---------- Post added at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 PM ----------

I just flashed the new version. After flash ended I booted into fastboot and flashed doomkernel.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Finalfour:
Witch version you flashed: rooted or original? I want to do the same, but doomkernel have bugs with phone vibration, it is very bad...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] harfot:
First I flashed the new version.

Secondly I flashed doomkernel - yes I know it has a couple of bugs, but I hope to live with them for only a few days (or I'll restore the old version (backups is a wonderful thing and I never flash without)).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hygge:
You can extract it from the .ftf firmware file with 7zip. You will find a file inside called kernel.sin, copy this file to the fastboot dir and install it as you did with the doomkernel "fastboot flash boot kernel.sin". That will get you back to stock kernel.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
Just flashed the stock kernel again.

Now usb storage works again. And I kept root.

Hopefully SE will come up with the sources soon to fix the issues, then I'll flash the kernel back.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
if u guys just want root then do a "hotboot" of my kernel:

fastboot boot boot.img

this will autoroot ur system

and the kernel will be unloaded on reboot

can u guys test if the .368 v10 kernel works on new FW?

can someone report the bugs using the above ^^^^ combination?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kistigun:
how do you flash back to the stock kernel?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tRippinthehead:
fastboot flash boot kernel.sin

(open .ftf with archiver)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bassie112:
No pc connectivity, wifi is fine. New firmware+test kernel
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vitaminme:
Hi Doomlord,

installed 368 v10 kernel with new firmware.283

system boots.

camera works

Tethering works

unable to connect to pc. in msc and mtp, debug is disabled.

Even Vibration is not working.

rest i couldn't test cos there is no wifi connection and bluetooth device to test,
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gunawan-1:

Sorry checked with vodafone there is some technical issue going on. :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] im_iceman:
Hi Doomlord - just fastboot booted your test 283 boot img and it flashed up the doomkernel boot screen.. then switched back off before it got to the next stage?!.. unplugged switched on and no root...

Anyone else had this?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DemonicHawk:
Same thing happened to me, I ended up just flashing the doom kernel and then flashing the stock kernel.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Abaddon:
can't wait for a stable one :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vitaminme:
do not unplug your phone immediately after you fire fastboot boot boot.img.

your phone will auto boot with the above command. wait for a minute. unplug your phone and boot it. u'll get root.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tl883:
thnx for the 283 kernel!

Like above, vibration and usb mount isn't working.

cheers
[Xperia Arc Android Development] yt92:
waiting for your steady version bro ^_^
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Finalfour:
How about works with new kernel version? We are waiting ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
Wait guys, first SE has to release the kernel sources for the new firmware and then he can fix the kernel.

If you need your phone working + root flash the kernel, boot it up, power down flash the stock kernel and you'll be done. That's what it did
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Finalfour:
How i can flash stock kernel? Ok, i flashed doomlords kernel, phone is rooted, and how can i flash back stock kernel? I downloaded stock kernel .sin file. And after that phone stays rooted?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bmwbasti:
If i already do have doomkernel running is it enough to just flash the new kernel to maintain/get root?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hush66:
Instructions in the previous page:

fastboot flash boot kernel.sin
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
And yes, you'll remain root.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] milkmanglc:
Will you lose recovery tho ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
we will try to keep the kernels slightly different... as each person has his/her own preferences on the things they want to add to their work (kernels/rom/etc)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] lil_devil:
Guess your Phone doesnt have its bootloader unlocked..! and make sure you are using a stock firmware.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] xtorm80:
another great step to more development!!

come on sony, give up that camera driver already!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] svprm:
