Help with "Modules for stock kernel"

On the side from GingerDX there is an link for download "Modules for stock kernel".

But I don't know how I can install it, and can't find never any tutorials for this.

So can anybody say me how-to-flash-it ;) please?

(I've already installed GingerDX v21)

Greets xdix

PS: Don't know if I'm right here with this question cause I'm new here...
[XPERIA X8 General] romulocarlos:
Install it in the same way you installed GDX, with xRecovery or CWM.

Use these modules ONLY IF you still use stock kernel. If you already changed the kernel (ex.: LinuxDX or Alfs5), don't flash it.
[XPERIA X8 General] xdix:
I don't chage any kernel... I just installed GingerDX

But will I'm not delete all things done untill yet on the phone when I do this?
[XPERIA X8 General] romulocarlos:
Is highly recommended to do a full-wipe when installing a ROM, to avoid bugs and problems.
[XPERIA X8 General] xdix:
I've done a full-wipe before installing the ROM. Must I do this this time too? And will installing the modules delete any things that are recommended?
[XPERIA X8 General] romulocarlos:
No, is NOT needed to do full-wipe to install the modules, only the ROM. You don't lose anything, by installing the modules.
[XPERIA X8 General] xdix:
LAst Question... With "Install Custom zip" function?

:::OK Its done... thanks for help:::
[XPERIA X8 General] romulocarlos:
Just hit the 'thanks' button.... :D
[XPERIA X8 General] bolololo:
I have exactly same problem. Any solutions?
[XPERIA X8 General] romulocarlos:
Try copying card contents to a PC, format the card from Windows Explorer in FAT32 format, and insert the empty card on X8.

If does right, copy the content back to card trough mass storage mode.
[XPERIA X8 General] bolololo:
I done that, but still nothing. When I'm taking out memeory card, it says "disconnecting card". But when I insert 2GB card which I get with the phone, everything seems to be right...
[XPERIA X8 General] romulocarlos:
This problem is only when using GingerDX?? With stock ROM or another custom ROM, what happens?
[XPERIA X8 General] bolololo:
Yes, only with GingerDX. Once I install GingerXperia and everything was fine. On custom ROM too. Kernel was never changing.
[XPERIA X8 General] romulocarlos:
Well, I don't have more ideas about this problem... Just try flashing modules for stock kernel.

If not help, try flashing LinuxDX kernel. It don't need to unlock bootloader.
[XPERIA X8 General] bolololo:
But in LinuxDX requirements is unlocked bootloader... link
[XPERIA X8 General] romulocarlos:
I have used it before I unlock my bootloader (now is unlocked)... Is just a try, not a solution yet. We have to know the problem source.

Make a backup before flash the kernel, and if things goes wrong, try unlock bootloader and flash the kernel again.

EDIT: Try format the SD card on computer using FAT32 (FAT or FAT16 can't reach 4Gb), but don't give it any name!
[XPERIA X8 General] andrelucky:
can someone make a custom kernel without dt module,because it make lag for game..
[XPERIA X8 General] amnher:
will these still work with the latest GDX?
[XPERIA X8 General] P_KAMENi:
i must report that i didnt have more nerves so i uninstalled gingerdx 2.3.7. that was working great most of the time, because of constant battery drain. every few days i had to do battery wipe, and uninstall more and more programs that led me to a mistake uninstalling something and removing any way of changing something, entering a menu or anything...

anyways, i think this is the only problem in this ROM

great work for it, just try to fix the battery drain, please ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] :
Sorry to break it over to you, but we don't have any battery drain problem.

But a good choice nonetheless on your behalf to leave GingerDX ... have fun with your problem on others ROMs then.
[XPERIA X8 General] P_KAMENi:
hi again...

just to say i'm back to gingerDX, and i found what was draining the battery...

it was that DSPManager application. dont know why, but it did...

i stopped it, and now the battery went down only 15% over 24 hours :p
[XPERIA X8 General] tmdss:
3d is not work..

i'm using v006
[XPERIA X8 General] pradhana:
i try to run titanium backup using this rom, but it said my device is not rooted, help me please..
[XPERIA X8 General] zvorkapic.os:
there are known root issues. Guess it will be fixed with v007
[XPERIA X8 General] pradhana:
can't wait for the next v007 :)
[XPERIA X8 General] sukartochen:
Sorry my wrong...,after i full wipe...problem its solve...thank you
[XPERIA X8 General] goldenr:
I found one more...dont know if u can call this as issue or bug but still:

keyboard is quite slow...like on stock and other roms it works great but on GngerDX its just slow it takes time to write something...

tried both of keyboards
[XPERIA X8 General] pradhana:
i don't have any problems with keyboard, try to free up some RAM, hope it would help :)
[XPERIA X8 General] jkrauser2:
Another thing..

Music/Mp3/Music album infos not properly synced.

it is like having multiple albums with the same titles.

See my post in GingerDX.

doixanh had seen it. :)
[XPERIA X8 General] Link_proxXP:
does DX said anything of when it's 007 out ??
[XPERIA X8 General] JeffreyX8:
WIFI tethering and netfilter is unavailable on GingerDX?
[XPERIA X8 General] SpyderX:
About the auto brightness problems, on GingerDX v006, when i cover the light sensor the entire screen goes black. This can be remedied by going to CyanogenMod settings---Display---Automatic backlight----Edit other levels---Load defaults----Save & apply.

Make sure that line in hw_config.sh reads echo i2c_als > (whatever it is here) rather than echo i2c > (whatever it is here).

@JeffreyX8

DroidWall works for me and netfilter does too, i use AnDyX's netfilter modules. But tether only using wireless tether from AnDyX's post and bear in mind that after tethering, wifi will not work until rebooting.
[XPERIA X8 General] wandychan:
try to clear data your superuser from setting->applications->manage applications.

it woks for me..
[XPERIA X8 General] zvorkapic.os:
If I install v7 over v6 will it keep my apps/sms/settings/contacts etc? Or i need to backup and restore/reinstall again?
[XPERIA X8 General] teoreetik:
I have one problem with this rom, which stops me from using it- it does not recognize my sd card. Im not using the SE original 2gb SD, but Nokia´s 4gb micro SDHC (class 4).

I don´t want to get new sd and nor do I want to go back to original 2gb SD.

Can anyone here help me with that problem?

Thanks in advance,

T.
[XPERIA X8 General] JeffreyX8:
Thanks for your reply. I have try to push AnDyX's module in, but it can't work.

Can you have a simple way to teach me how to do it collect?

Thanks
[XPERIA X8 General] pradhana:
Thanks, i'll try it :)
[XPERIA X8 General] paul_nicko:
Theres a bug with syncing contacts on Facebook/Last.fm etc

The accounts will sync avatars from Facebook to the phone but when roaming is switched off or the phone is restarted the account is no longer in Contacts > Settings and all avatars are removed.

I think the bug started on v0.6

EDIT

Apologies I searched the thread with no results, then read the bug is already on the first post :)
[XPERIA X8 General] Dare-Devil Inside:
Guys I'll check out v007 afternoon.. :)
[XPERIA X8 General] SpyderX:
After placing all the files in the appropiate location, enter this command in hw_config.sh

sh /system/xbin/full_iptables.sh

Reboot and you will have netfilter on boot. Remember to make a backup first and also double check to prevent any errors. Editing hw_config.sh is dangerous!
[XPERIA X8 General] NebRityj:
When I launch SystemApp Remover there is this message: Your phone does not appear to be rooted. Press ok to google a guide, or press back to enter the application in non-root mode. How to launch SystemApp Remover in root mode? In Super User SystemApp Remover is resolved. GDX v007.
[XPERIA X8 General] JeffreyX8:
Thanks for your help, i will test it after upgrade to V007 DX
[XPERIA X8 General] Dare-Devil Inside:
Updated first post...

most of the known bugs remain in v007, but I suppose v008 will be a bugfix release :)

Some Camera apps still can't use it, like igcamera,magic hour....

camera360 work fine.
[XPERIA X8 General] :
I do report that Google Goggles is still not working properly. Same problem as before (even after full wipe and fresh install from the market, I'd be curious to know wich version of Goggles is DX using for his test).

Nice thread. Thank you
[XPERIA X8 General] X1111:
new news ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] Asycid:
Include this please in the first post:

-MW600 Bluetooth headset works flawlessly. No hiccups, no gaps in the stream. DSP manager works too with this headset. Buttons working as they should. Bluetooth stack hasn't changed, so it is not possible to see the artist/ song name...etc on the headsets display (this is NOT a bug, it is because google's choice).

-lgCamera works flawlessly too with v007.
[XPERIA X8 General] X1111:
@Dare-Devil Inside ,what does this mean ?

EDIT : i have this problem , but with every settings it can't service me correctly

EDIT : i think maybe there's two different digitizers for LED too :D
[XPERIA X8 General] Dare-Devil Inside:
I saw in the thread... when you tick it... set your own time (dx setting is 11pm to 6am) I assume
[XPERIA X8 General] X1111:
thanks for response...

i tick it , set from 11pm to 6am , and reboot ;)

now at 10pm by my native time no blinking occurs by a misscall !!

that's fun ,isn't it ?

i state again ,maybe there's two different digitizers for LED too :D

[XPERIA X8 General] achill3r:
Also after the upgrade to v007, I still continue to have a very stupid (but very annoying) issue: when i switch back from the airplane mode, my phone does not request to insert the PIN number in way to connect to GSM/EDGE network. I must reboot phone every time to allow me to connect to phone networks... :confused:

Anyone has a solution for that?

Thanks in advance. :)

Installation problem

Well, this would be my third ROM, but I have an installation problem, currently I have miniCM7 2.0.5a ROM, I`ve tried to install it as the post says, download, copy to SD card, reboot on recovery, install custom Zip, but then I got this:

"-- Installing /sdcard/update-GingerDX.v007.zip

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.

Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5

It was neccesary to remove it when upgrading to the clockwork 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery

Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.

Installation aborted"

Phew! that was long, I know it would be better on the developers section, but since I`m new, I am not allowed to post there, hope someone can explain me what is going on, I really wanna try this one, tks in advance :)
[XPERIA X8 General] Dexter_prog:
Flash with xRecovery.
[XPERIA X8 General] hellosigel:
Hi I was wondering if installing modules (e.g. ax8mt, ax8_smartass and other new modules) is the same with FroyoBread, meaning just push to /system/lib/modules. It's not written anywhere in the GingerDX thread. Thanks c:
[XPERIA X8 General] Dexter_prog:
for ax8mt, rename it to x8gestures and move it to lib/modules.

The rest of the modules are install the same old way.
[XPERIA X8 General] nrgmaster:
@Dexter Easy as that!!! Tks a lot, worked like a charm!!!
[XPERIA X8 General] KASHYAP9:
i tried mobo player , arc media and many others but nothing worked for me
[XPERIA X8 General] hellosigel:
We already have an x8gesture.ko in the lib/modules. Do I overwrite it?

Also I have another question. When I long-press the power button and select 'Reboot' I don't get to choose anymore whether to do a normal boot, xrecovery boot or cwm boot. It all started when I installed v006 and it still persists in v007 without full wipe. Does anyone have the same problem?
[XPERIA X8 General] Dexter_prog:
Yes (if you have a Cypress digitalizer). This rom comes with fake dual touch for Synaptics, so we (the Cypress guys) have to overwrite the file. Perhaps we could delete x8gesture and have ax8mt (plus running the command mentioned in the DT thread), but I think it works the same.
[XPERIA X8 General] :
Two more bugs you can add to first post :

1- (well known but not in first post) next track using volume key wich work one time (or 0) and then stops working.

2- wired headset (quadruple ringed jack) button to answer, play, stop, changing track,... wich does not work and is working on FB (& on some GB). I tried to push "7k_handset.kl" & "systemconnector.kl" from Kuya & FB into system/usr/keylayout but it did not work...
[XPERIA X8 General] Dexter_prog:
the screen not responding on the bottom and right side bug is not listed neither.
[XPERIA X8 General] Dare-Devil Inside:
Working for me fine.
[XPERIA X8 General] Dexter_prog:
open multi touch visualizer, slide your finger up from the bottom of the screen (or even from outside the screen) and see it. Same thing happens if you go from right to left. This was confirmed by Doixnah
[XPERIA X8 General] paul_nicko:
I'm unable to view picture messages, I recieved one last week that i had to save into the gallery before i could view it...but now it won't let me save or open it.
[XPERIA X8 General] Dare-Devil Inside:
As I said I dont have this bug. Edges tested.

And its doixanh

You're partially right. Happens sometimes. But onlt at upper right side.. bottom always fine
[XPERIA X8 General] Chris_Castro:
Bugs

GingerDx V.007

- Themes (Wallpaper not applied)

- Root Explorer 2.5.1 (FC), had to go back to Root Explorer 2.16 (All other SU apps OK)

- Phone rings and screen comes on after a lag.

Edit: In my case.

Modules: x8gesture (OK), x8oc (OK @691Mhz), all other from 007.
[XPERIA X8 General] Dexter_prog:
are you on a Synaptics or a Cypress digitalizer?
[XPERIA X8 General] Dare-Devil Inside:
Synaptics. I never had problems with swipe up notifcations for example.

And I tested today with MT VS 2 and everything seems to be fine, but sometimes UPPER RIGHT (not dead angle, about 1cm below top :D) is not recognizing the touch.

I need to touch again to fix.

:/
[XPERIA X8 General] Dexter_prog:
I'm on a Cypress one. Perhaps it is a digitalizer-related problem with CM7

Hi to all...

I am a new user of SE Xperia X8 (3 weeks)...

As what I have noticed this past days... My internet Connection using mobile data is somewhat slow for about less than 50Kbps (speedtest.net)... I have 3G/H icon on my notification bar... but it always below 50Kbps speed... I have scoured the internet for hours now but only find one quite helpful advice, but i could not see it on my settings...

BTW I am using GingerDX (for 2days) now and FroyoBread v022 for the past days...

On the information that I found, someone suggested to force my Mobile Network Mode to HSPA while using mobile data for internet access, then switch back to GSM/3G if not using internet services...

My question now is, how/where can I set my mobile network mode?

or is there a work-around to speedup my 3G speed?

Note: I am from Philippines using a Globe Telecom Prepaid SIM.

I do now that 3G signal do matter with speed, I tested it using a Mobile Broadband USB Plug it Device, I can reach up to 2Mbps speed using speedtest.net from a Laptop...

Edit:

I don't know if its a bug or what, but when I run Quadrant Advance, in the 3D part of test, I can't see any animation at all... (the Room thing, and the Planet)

One more thing is the NFS Shift Game, I cant play it on GingerDX v007...
[XPERIA X8 General] pradhana:
Hi, i have some question.

In the system panel, i see the battery gauge when full is 4179mv (100%). But when the battery is low (19%) the bar in the system panel still 3825mv. What is that mean? Are they refer to the battery capacity? Thx,

how can i uninstall the launcher pro, i just want to install the launcher pro plus...
[XPERIA X8 General] Dexter_prog:
No need to uninstal it as launcher pro plus is an unlocker to launcher pro.
[XPERIA X8 General] Dare-Devil Inside:
Install an another launcher first, than remove launcher pro from system/app. Reboot.

Install Launcher pro plus after that

GingerDX & MiniCM7 & MiniCM9 Automatic Brightness FIX

I made a patch for gingerdx to fix automatic brightness.

I feel the sw automatic brightness very slow (including from GDX v008), so I prefer the hw automatic brightness, it works wery well!

This patch It will be change your hw_cofig.sh, the undo patch will restore your original hw_config.sh

1. settings --> display --> brightness --> disable automatic brightness

2. Flash from recovery.

I think i found a bug (sorry if anyone reported it yet)

the phone wakes up by pressing the back key or the menu key. In settings i don't ticked the "Acordar com a trackball" (in english it might be "Wake up with trackball" or something else), so the phone must wake up ONLY with the middle key (i don't know it's name xD) or with the Power Button.

Sorry for my bad english.

BTW, i can't recive MMS, i think some people has the same problem. My APN's are correct, and my configurations are also correct.

anyone can connect with wifi adhoc?

if you can please upload your tiwlan.ini for me....
[XPERIA X8 General] :
WPA2-PSK seems to have an issue in GingerDX v008 ...

Finally got myself to upgrade to GingerDX from Floyobread - flashed, full wipe, and so on. WiFi works, but disconnects/reconnects every few minutes.

In case it has something to do with the password length (as suggested in the GDX dev thread): the WPA2-PSK passphrase (am not able to change it; given by my ISP) consists of 21 characters.

Would be great if doxianh could have a look into it.

Otherwise it works perfect so far; though I'm in the middle of re-installing apps and stuff.
