Strange

Might it because if the new busybox version and SuperCharger needs 1.18.2 or lower?

Tried to install 1.17.x in xbin, but didn't work.

Will it cause bugs if I install it in another direction?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
sorry bro... i can say that its working fine on stock rom (.42)... wht stuff u add afterwards may affect these things... so cant help u out there...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
Ok. Will flash it again, and if that doesn'tvfix it I might use V13 v1 again.

Can you say me which files are the busybox?

Installer said I have multiple versions installed and I want to clear the mess.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
busybox is in ramdisk (/sbin/busybox), also a small busybox is pushed to /system/xbin/ to resolve some issues users had... if u want u should isntall busybox in /system/xbin/
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
Ok, so I delete the file called busybox in system/bin, where the installer installed it and I'm good to go and have the busybox you included again, right?

Thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
yes... busybox in ramdisk (/sbin/) is always given preference...

u can change this preference by changing PATH variable using init.d script... but do so at ur own risk...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
Seems to complicated for me.

Because of the Busybox mess I created I gonna reflash the ROM later today, without wiping data, just to get a clean system again and then I install the kernel again and hope to have the backlight led then.

Maybe it's the key to come from stock kernel like you did lately...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Crocodile1973:
Yeah no hardware lights for me too on latest.

Battery Test

Last night i fully charge my phone for testing

2G Data ,WiFi , GPS , automatic time zone = OFF

cpu = without OC/OV >>> 245.76 /1024 >> Scaling Ondemand

kernel : v13-modCWM-v2

FW : 4.0.2.A.0.42

without using phone (except one miss call ) after 7 hour >> 90% battery remaining

I dont think it's normal :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] harfot:
The backlight of the 3 hardware buttons are working correct both at boot and at normal phone use.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Soheil_rf:
The backlight of the 3 hardware buttons related to REBOOT OPTION ON POWER MENU
[Xperia Arc Android Development] harfot:
Yes, I could also write all over!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
So we have to remove that mod again?

Strange that it worked with V13 V1.

So I won't add that mod when I reflash it later today to get the button lights back.

@ prahabten:

Better leave his busybox.

I got busybox files in bin and xbin now, just because I wanted to downgrade and because of that I reflash latter, even if it works just fine atm, with his version of busybox, downgrade was not possible

Or could someone the system/bin folder + the files that get replaced by the reboot mod for me, so I can replace the files without reflashing

WiFi drops during heavy traffic.

Simple way to test:

1. Connect to a WiFi AP.

2. Download an HD game from the Market (eg. CONTRACT KILLER: ZOMBIES).

3. Let it download its data.

4. Connection will drop in 30-90 seconds.

On stock 4.0.2.A.0.42 with v13-modCWM-v2 kernel @ 1.2 GHz.

Please look into this, it's very annoying.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
/sbin/busybox version is 1.19.2-cm71

as for other stuff i dont know... the kernel wont change those things... these issues are mostly related to the mods that u guys are using...

yes i know... i have same problem on stock, CM7...

my wifi router is using wpa2-psk...

the issue specifically comes when Market or stock Browser is used...

really have no clue how to sort this as the problem is even on stock kernel and cm7..

BTW since i have the xperia PLay now i have tested and it seems the wifi on Play is very stable...

i am thinking its got something to do with the wifi lan module, TI (Texas Instruments) in ARC while Play has BCM (Broadcom)...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
Just reflashed my Arc.

Didn't install the reboot mod this time and the backlight of the hw butttons is working fine.

But I just don't get why the kernels conflicts with the mod as it worked before - anyway, it's running perfect again :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] yt92:
bro, does the V13 only work on FW:4.0.2.A.0.42, not 283??
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hush66:
If I want to flash back to stock 4.0.2.A.0.42 kernel, where can I find the file?

There was a link posted by DooMLord some time back (found here), but that was for 283 firmware. Think it was rooted.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
just extract the kernel.sin from the FTF using 7zip and flash it using:

fastboot flash boot kernel.sin

Hello,

I do not managed to enter Recovery Mode !?

Could you please help me ?

From v11 onwards button-backlight at DooMLoRD logo shows when you have to press the home button (at ealier versions you have to pump the back button during the logo to get into recovery).

and if i want to use cwm recovery with the original .42 kernel, how do i do it?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Currently u can't...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] avicho:
Why/

it's funny. it seems like simple thing, why not? there is no other recovery console?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
actually its pretty simple...

just search around and u will find answer...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] avicho:
I'm just wondering.. there is an answerfor this issue or it cant be done right now as u told before?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] megacrazy:
Something is definitely up with the wifi. I'm right next to the router and sometimes it only shows 1 bar of signal and doesn't connect. Sometimes it drops the connection altogether. I doubt this is an issue with the kernel though as my phone had issues turning ON wifi straight out of the box with no mods/nothing installed. I have quite a few sony products that have some sort of history with wifi connections..from the PSP to laptops etc. The Arc seems to be no different.

i want to downgrade my busybox..

but it always fail,

is it because the kernel?

i want to instal the v6 supercharger..

please help..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hush66:
Download the Busybox Installer app from JRummy16 from Market and use that to downgrade.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mesang:
Hi guys,

Yesterday I tried to get my bootloader unlocked and the phone rooted. After some huge issues (not booting f.e.). BUT, it's fixed now.

Now my phone (arc) is on build 4.0.1.A.0.283. Can is safely install the DooMKernel? OR, should I first update to 4.0.2.A.0.42 and is this safe to do?

Thanks in advance, can't wait to get this thing running at 2.0Ghz! :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chitose_ndy:
i did use that,

i choose the v1.18.2

i instal it..

then..

it says it done and busybox v1.18.2 is installed,

but when i exit and go back again,

its written my busybox still v1.19

:(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jumptailo:
The last time I tried v6 supercharger, I unroot first, then I root again with zergRush and do a fresh install of busybox. It works.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] martin132014:
isnt the new V6 supercharger require busybox 1.16 or higher...i think yours 1.19 is ok...im using 1.19.2 cm71...its applied perfectly...

After a few days of reflashing and testing, I could say the lastest kernel drain battery so much. With the stock kernel, my battery just drain 1% for over 2 hours, but with custom kernel, it drain about 3% for 1 hour.

This is the graph I took today, just left the phone over night when I was sleeping at 100%, after waking up, it around 97% with stock kernel

[Xperia Arc Android Development] chitose_ndy:
I already tested it and works :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
After 3 days on the latest kernel I have to say that battery life has improved over the old version. Just some little drain left which isn't a problem for me.

Kernel needed one day to settle down, then I noticed the improvement.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] obertoni:
Hi everybody

First i will say, i love your kernel. For overclocking, tweaking and customizing the arc is this a very nice kernel. Good work.

Somthing news about battery draining?

I have 3 arc for testing. 1 with stock bootloader and rom (4.0.2.A) and 2 with DoomKernel V13 and stock rom (4.0.2.A).

Battery draining on DommKernel is very heavy, 3 times more then stock.

On stock i have a current of 3mA by 3.90V (plus peaks of 20, 30mA for polling networks all 2 seconds) in stand-by and deep sleep.

On DoomKernelV13 i have a current of 9mA (plus peaks of 20, 30mA for polling networks all 2 seconds) in stand-by and deep sleep.

You see Battery performance on your kernel is really decreases.

I hope your development go further, and you will fix this issue. :p

Hi Doomed151

It is working fine here, I have just downloaded 100MB before manually stopping the download.

On stock 4.0.1.A.0.283 with cusomized .283 kernel@1.4GHz

But my wifi is very bad if my dlink dir-655 is configured with multi mode b/g/n. It is very good when only running b/g. Do not know if this is a router issue or Arc issue. Wireless at office is also very good
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
interesting abt that b/g/n mode... my current router is also working at b/g/n(150) mode... and even i have bad wifi performance sometimes...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
Thanks for the info, I'll try setting to b/g mode.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
wifi sources finally patched

finally got those pesky stock wifi sources sorted out :)

patched them with help of jerpelea.... a BIG THANK YOU to him...

now kernel name will appear as it should have from the start...

hence forth (from v14 onwards) the "Kernel version" info for my kernel will read as:

2.6.32.9-DooMKernel

doomlord@doombox #XX

where #XX will be the kernel version released...

also u will now have to flash modules specific for my kernel (wifi, etc)... i will be providing the required modules (and also 'back to stock' modules) via update.zip (which can be flashed via recovery)...

regards,

DooMLoRD

P.S.: new kernel is not yet released :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chitose_ndy:
LOL

I searched the download link all the way back but couldn't find it.

And I realize that u wrote on the bottom of ur post that it hasn't been released yet. :p

i am just modifying recovery sources to add new features and make our lives little easier ;)

enjoy
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kamil004:
i have question.

i have bricked chipset battery 0% issue,

and now i have installed CM7 FXP045 but this rom mega drain battery.

so my question:

i can install stock rom + doomkernel + echo 80 > /sys/class/power_supply/bq27520/set_capacity ??

I dont need online battery gauge, always 80% is good for me.

this idea is very very better than CM7 FXP with drain battery problem.

if not, could you modify/compile the same kernel versions, but for users with 0% battery issue?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
i will not be posting/creating kernel for 0% battery issue users...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kamil004:
Ok.

i can install stock rom + doomkernel + echo 80 > /sys/class/power_supply/bq27520/set_capacity ??

can set this on stock rom and doomkernel?

this command work on DKernel or only kernel compiled with online gauge apk?

meybe is other solution for me? -->

flash "FreeXperia CyanogenMod 7.1 SE Remplacement ROM "

Stock app + CM settings + kernel 0% battery fix?

that is better?

pls help me, but i need stock app and fixed 0% battery
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
my kernel sources dont have that sysfs interface
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
DooMKernel v14 released!!

DooMKernel v14 released!!!!

[ changelog ]

minor changes in my modified CWM recovery (modCWM-v3)

major cleaning of kernel sources (cleaned defconfigs using FXP defconfigs as reference)

TESTING: reverted some changes in kernel sources to older FW kernel sources to test if the issue of increased battery drain is resolved

compiled using newest gcc-4.6.2-(2011.10) linaro toolchain with O4 optimizations

changed kernel version string to "-DooMKernel" (will require specific modules)

[ NOTICE ]

since i have changed the kernel version string stock wifi modules will no longer work on my kernel...

if u try to enable them on new kernel (v14 onwards)

u will get "ERROR" while starting WIFI

...

i will be providing modules for my kernel which HAVE TO BE FLASHED VIA RECOVERY for wifi/bt (and other things) to work correctly

stock modules will also be provided which again will have to be flashed via recovery if u want to return to stock kernel OR if u revert to older v13 or lower kernels

remember i have already told this to u guys... if i see some users reporting that wifi is giving error because u did not follow my instructions ur post WILL BE IGNORED....

so installation steps will be slightly different:

[ how to install my kernel (v14 onwards) ]

download the boot.img & wifi modules update.zip

save the boot.img in the folder with fastboot binaries (fastboot.exe files)

save the modules update.zip to sdcard (on phone)

power down device

start device in fastboot mode

use the following command to flash the boot.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

reboot phone and enter recovery

flash the modules update.zip for my kernel

reboot phone and enjoy the kernel ;)

[ how to get back to stock kernel OR older versions of my kernel (v13 and lower) ]

download the stock modules update.zip

extract the kernel.sin (or boot.img if u want to flash my older kernels) file from the stock FTF u used to flash this fimware

save the kernel.sin (or boot.img if u want to flash my older kernels) in the folder with fastboot binaries (fastboot.exe files)

save the modules update.zip to sdcard (on phone)

reboot phone and enter recovery

flash the stock wifi modules update.zip

power down device

start device in fastboot mode

use the following command to flash the kernel.sin (or boot.img if u want to flash my older kernels)

fastboot flash boot kernel.sin

reboot phone and thats it u should now be on stock kernel (or my older kernel)

download links at first post

please test out everything and post ur feedback...

ENJOY!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] harfot:
Thank you for v14.

No installations issues with kernel or wifi modules.

Will check out to see if any changes in battery drain.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chitose_ndy:
Thankyou Doom for the v14!!

Installed and will be back to report if there's any issue(s),

see ya :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DemonicHawk:
I'm sorry, this is just my opinion but I don't agree with making this so complicated just so you can change the kernel string; something that is unnecessary and gives no benefits.

I don't know how others use this, but my main use is just to have root and recovery (yes there are other options for that, but this used to be the easiest way to achieve that). Plus all of the other features which come as a bonus.

If this was for a custom rom it might be acceptable, but I'm using the stock rom and I have no intentions of messing with it or changing it, so why would I load a modification to it just for the kernel.

Again, this is just my opinion but it looks like I will be sticking with v13 for a while.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bmwbasti:
Flashing V14 and updates works like a charm.

WIFI and BT don't work! Sorry, could not resist :D

WIFI and BT work without problems with the installed updates.

Thx Doomlord :)

Some slight problems i discoveres a while ago seems still to exist. I'll try to explain:

It seems as if there is some problem with the interactiveX2 governor, at least for my phone. Sometimes it seems as if the governor doesn't scale to higher frequencies and stays at the 122Mhz i've set as the lowest frequency. It's happening when i start some kind of online games (perhaps anybody knows iMobster ;) ). The phone is hanging and it takes an enormous time to switch between the windows and options. Pressing the home button doesn't solute that problem either. It takes some minutes and the problem is solved by itself.

I don't know if this is a general problem or specificly for my phone but i wanted to give feedback about that ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
if u dont already know, this (flashing required modules after flashing kernel) is the standard way... u can check any device forum if u feel wht i say is wrong...

actually i had planned to keep the kernel string as -DooMKernel since the start but the SEMC TI wifi sources were broken... i just fixed them a few days back... so now we will be having this for all future kernels...

i could easily integrate the modules right in ramdisk and then push them via a script (like FXP & MIUI kernels) but if users revert to other kernel it will break wifi... thats why i provide this simple solution... just flash via recovery...

and again its ur wish wht to use...

:P

as for interactiveX i will check it on my phone if i observe similar issue....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chitose_ndy:
yup.. tested it too,

bluetooth and wifi dont work..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] harfot:
Of course it does :p

I press the wifi button and the check box doesn't even wanna change. Keeps blank.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
Installed the new modules?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bmwbasti:
Of course i meant interactiveX, not X2 :D

I think i had smartassV2 in mind :D

Hey Doom

Thanks for your great work.

I have installed your V14 kernel and then flashed your modules. After reboot the BT works but WIFI says error!

I did try to install it again but that did not help.

Just wanted to give feedback.

Thanks again
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
flash the correct modules... u must have flashed the modules for stock :P

read the posts properly ;)

Works fine here, thanks.

But shouldn't be V14 in phone information instead of " ) "?

Hey Doom

I did flash the right modules. It is crystal clear in your thread what to flash :)

I will try to revert and then do it again

[Xperia Arc Android Development] cezarL:
Unfortunately, battery drainis stilla problem. I lost 14% over 8 hours in standby last night, with v14.

CpuSpy says my Arc S spent 33min at 122Mhz and almost 10min at max freq (1.8Ghz). I have no idea what's causing these wakes, they don't happen with the stock kernel, which loses about 4-5% in the same timeframe.

It's silly.. One of the main reasons for going with a custom kernel is undervolting, but that makes no sense if you're losing three times as much battery than with stock voltages.

I'll go through a couple of recharge cycles on v14, but if things don'timprove I'll switch back to stock.

I'll miss init.d scripting, but I guess I'll learn to live without.. Eventually.
