how do you enable swap ?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] chewdaniel:
yo bro, i know it's ur kernel and all but idk... the hostname looks weird :P

something like LinuxDX-v003-2.6.29 / doixanh@xda looks nicer :D

just sayin~ :p

anyway~ tks a lot :D

P.S. how to tell if the BFS is working properly?

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] chewdaniel:
For SD card cannot be detected that's cos the particular app is referencing /sdcard/ which is actually really a shortcut to /mnt/sdcard/

Check if the app can support changing that value. If it does then great. If it doesn't then you're just gonna live with it or go back to stock kernel or wait for v004 :)

To test BFS is running or not, reboot and use these commands in your phone terminal

su

You will have to wait for v004.

@tony-noob : try reflash the kernel and reflash the ROM.

wi-fi in v.3 not fixed!!!How do I fix it????:(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] chewdaniel:
try removing these files from your /system/lib/modules

boot to cwm, mount /system/ and use adb shell and RM them.

ax8_smartass.ko

ext3.ko

ext4.ko

jbd.ko

jbd2.ko

x8gesture.ko

x8mddi.ko

x8uv.ko

then unmount /system/ again and reboot

--- OR ---

you can flash this in cwm

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] codfreak:
Try to flash stock Kernel+ROm again and also lock the bootloader again and then, unlock it again, install GingerDX again and flash the Kernel again.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] chewdaniel:
do a fullwipe then. did u enable smartass before this?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] DeFcOn:
yes i have enabled smartass!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] chewdaniel:
then u're screwed. either do a fullwipe, or flash back stock kernel, disable smartass (change back to ONDEMAND or something) then flash back LDX
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Sew00:
Does someone with e15a has flashed this?

I read of one person who did it and didn't have any trouble.

As soon as i unlock bootloader i will flash this one, but if i can have some advice before that it would be great.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] biscoitu:
I´m using this since v001 and no problem at all here, only the know ones :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jonsey:
ok solved the rebooting and the wifi...must set on SetCpu something different from SMARTASS,now i've ONDEMAND...and now wifi works :)

That's good.

Now i only have to unlock the ****ing bootloader.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] alfsamsung:
A temp fix for sdcard problems is to ad this to the end of hw_config.sh:

#Temp sdcard fix LinuxDX kernel
rm -rf sdcard
ln -s mnt/sdcard sdcard

This will remove the empty sdcard folder and make a shortcut to mnt/sdcard.

Be carefull using this, and remember to remove it if you change kernel.Take a backup of sdcard just in case.

Thanks for your great work DX:)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] biscoitu:
Why don´t you use

mount --bind /mnt/sdcard /sdcard

instead of removing the sdcard folder and making shortcut for it? :p

Edit: I tried both on hw_config.sh but didn´t success. I guess that hw_config is being loaded before the rom prepare sdcard.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
Both are good solutions. I was going to do one of your proposal :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lancemark:
su
mount --bind /mnt/sdcard /sdcard

typed in terminal emulator solve the problem with sdcard

su
rm -rf sdcard
ln -s mnt/sdcard sdcard

typed in terminal emulator also works good.

thanks alfsamsung and biscoitu for your terminal commands.

One of this 2 command must be typed in terminal emulator after rebooting phone .

i use gingerdx v15 with stock kernel, and with this kernel 003, and in my opinion with stock kernel the rom is much smooth..it's very different..in scrolling, open apps, etc..it's very different..just my opinion..

why when i set governor to smartass or smartass v2 its reboot?

DDI, i don't said that stock kernel it's better, i said gingerDx with stock kernel it's more smooth, for me it's different..maybe because BFS, i don't know, but it´s more smooth with stock kernel..it's just my opinion..wheel in the air

I paste here my bugreport too, because I think it's more kernel than ROM related:

The touch screen is acting weird. If I make fast- middle-fast movements on the screen, it thinks that I just pushing it very-very rapidly. Consequence: it opens a random application of the ones I slided my fingers through. Really annoying, and makes the phone almost useless.

(Using GingerDX v015 with linuxDX v003--> full wipe etc...)

[This is with Cypress--> I suggest you to insert another version of ax8mt module in the kernel (or modify its mode as AnDyX wrote in the module's thread [I'm not sure if we can modify its mode through terminalemulator because the module has been built in the Kernel, or am I wrong? I'll check it and will make an edit]) if you can, and I'll test it if it works]

Yep, the mode cannot be changed through TerminalEmulator. It writes "directory non exist."

this is a USB cable problem dude. it almost drove me crazy. try unplugging the phone from ur PC. Also this happens cuz ur PC is not properly grounded, fix it.

Also make sure u deleted the modules from system/lib directory, they're already in kernel
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asycid:
Man, WTF R U talking about? :D

First of all the phone is NOT connected to any PC.

Second, if you read again, I'm using the kernel with GingerDXv015, and it does NOT contain any modules.

Third: I'm only using laptop. So grounding problem solved too :D

But thanks for the try.

DX..wats happening....i tried formatting my sd card again and make 3 partitions,

FAT32,ext-2,linux-swap...but everytime i format it still can be used..but after sumtimes or after moving files in...then i install my apps..it reboot then it says blank sd card..whats happening...how to really setup swap:?..i just got definitions bout swap but not tutorial on enabling..:o
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] SpyderX:
Try this website: lmgtfy.com/?q=Swapper2 android market

Seriously, if you had backread, you would have noticed that using a swap file solves all your problems without repartitioning your sd card. Search for swapper2 on the android market.

Oh, please format your sd card so that it has 1 FAT32 partition and the EXT2 partition you wanted. Linux-swap partition can be replaced by the swap file :D.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asycid:
I copy my comment here from gingerDX topic, because I'm not sure if the kernel or the ROM causes this symphtom:

Please someone check the FPS in fps2d. I've got avg=45 and stdev=13,00. What's going on here? (freshly installed ROM with LDX v003 kernel)

I've got stable 85 with other ROMs without custom kernel.

Plus I think this is the cause of the touchscreen slowness problem that I mentioned some posts before.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] DeFcOn:
only one bug? and what about not working smartass or slow scrolling causes by BFS?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] biscoitu:
Well, not everyone is using different cpu governors. I used to change smartass values when using the module, but now I don´t use it :D. Slow while scrolling?? I don´t have this issue, mine is scrolling like always did on earlier versions :).

I have only one bug on my use, but it doesn´t annoys me, since if I reboot and wait at least 15~20 seconds to start using my device :D.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rikcon:
You don't need spaw partition,you need swap file,i don't know how to make it without swapper,swapper did'nt work well for me too,but someone earlier in this topic gave a terminal command:

free

You'll see how much ram you have,how much is left,also there's a line named swap,if there are many zero ahead this line that means you don't have swap,if you have it it'll show how much you have,and how much left,just like for RAM.

I can give you my swap file,128 mb.

Just PM me and i'll send it to you.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lancemark:
SWAP is working perfectly in all LinuxDX Kernel versions.

SWAP partition is not implement in this kernel.(I've told that few times earlier and someone else also told)

if swapper is freezing at please wait then check your settings.

that must be wrong. I had the same problem when I set something wrong in swapper2.

Please check your path to swamp file. Must be /mnt/sdcard/swapfile.swp (NOT!! /sdcard/swapfile.swp that wrong and freeze your phone).

Everyone for who the swapper2 isn't to difficult to use says SWAP if working good.

If you want to check is the swap enabled simple type free in terminal in swap line values will be non zero.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dzadzev:
Same here ... something weird is going on with touch screen (ldx 003 & gdx015 clean install ... the same problem was also with 002) ... in app drawer it's most noticeable because when you try to scroll most of the times it opens some app and it's very hard to scroll ... I also have Cypress digitizer

ldx001 with gdx014 everything was ok ... this is going on from 002/015 releases so I don't know is it gdx or ldx problem ... also no problems in multitouch visualizer
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lancemark:
Also same to me but only in launcher pro I have that problem.

I've just check that now. Normally I always use Active Launcher and in that launcher I don't have this problem.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asycid:
So I think the problem is with the different hardware (not the touch-chip, but the screen itself)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dimbata:
Well .... i think that the problem is in the widgets that are putted on the screen .... maybe ... but i don't believe it is in the hardware .... because the only difference is in the touchscreen (i think)! so what can we do about this lag with mddi .... i tried flashing back to stock 2.1... rooted the phone (Made thousands of factory resets) then i installed kernel .... after that ROM .... do full wipe (3 or more times) and nothing .... the score is still over 8.00 :( what is wrong ??? :(

Edit: Should we make some changes in CyanogenMod settings ---> Performance ... or not ?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] chewdaniel:
hmm~ i realised that DX actually included both toshiba and hitachi mddi fixes in the kernel so it shouldn't be hardware... unless u're on the hitachi screen and the module doesn't work on it... or ur screen is from some other manufacturer

---------- Post added at 12:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 AM ----------

try stock kernel + GDXv015 + modules and see if it happens. IIRC the MDDI module is only for toshiba screens

yes my screen is made by clean glass .... just arrived from the factory ... it was hot when i have putted it ! :D i bought my phone March ... what can be the hardware changes from March untill October ... i don't think it is in that .... i think that the module that is in the kernel is weird .... i'm just telling ... don't want to make argues with noone but .... i just want to make my phone better .... :)

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] DeFcOn:
it's because BFS!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dimbata:

There can be differences between hardware/software from Octomber to March. They may be a different revision. In electronics it's common to change a revision at a few months apart. It may be some little incompability between the modules and the revision you have. But that's just a guess.

I found a little bug i think, but first of all, thanks for your good work!!

the bug occurs when using droidwall v1.5.3, which is based on iptables:

Error applying iptables rules.

Exit code: 1

iptables v1.4.10

iptables: No chain/target/match by that name.

is there an other way to use iptables, or is this really a bug?

I am using GingerDX v015 and LinuxDX v003.

Edit:

according to this link: http://code.google.com/p/droidwall/issues/detail?id=24

"This is because the kernel was compiled without the "netfilter owner" module enabled."
