Hey guys, i have a problem.

I unlocked my bootloader, flashed LinuxDX Kernel (having the stockrom). Turn on the phone and after de GingerDX Logo, SE's Logo tries to appear but it freezes and screen goes black.

I rebooted and i installed GingerDX v014. After the GingerDX Bootlogo, it appears the blue bootanimation of GDX with the sound, effects, and everything and it keeps on there, it keeps the animation for a while and then it freezes and the sound plays again and the animation restarts and on and on and on.

Any help?

Goodbye!

try del all files in /system/lib/modules before flashed LinuxDX Kernel

btw: your Baseband must 015
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] vixkes:
I can modify the kernel and add the overclocking? and how can you do?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] DeFcOn:
no, you cant!

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] xdkabeza:
I cant back to stock kernel ... my phone boot only when i flash linuxDX x.x

a few days ago y flash linuxDX and then go back to the stock kernel ... no prob with that .. but .. then i decide to give another chance to linuxDX and i installed it again..

but now i want to go back to stock kernel but the phone stuck at SE logo..

i did this:

I delete all the files in /system/lib/modules before flashing

I flash the stock kernel (the same one that i used before)

I reboot my phone and it stuck at SE LOGO

Any ideas? thanx !

EDIT: now ... i flash linuxDX ... but i dont have service rigth now ... i cant make any calls or 3g ..or nothing ...

in status the phone says that have "UNKNOW BASEBAND" x_x

so how do we "enable" swap? atm i have 2 primary partition on my SD, one FAT32 and one EXT2. do i make another primary partition of type "SWAP"? what would be the optimum swap size? is it automatically detected by the kernel and used?

what will we gain from swap? faster applications? more internal memory?

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] paul_nicko:
What are the advantages of using LinuxDX over GingerDX?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] terracuk:
None. One is a Kernel the other is a ROM. It's like comparing an Engine and a Gearbox.. :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] skyboyextreme:
you are mistaken i guess , LinuxDX is a kernel while GingerDX is a rom , for a phone to operate you need both a kernel and a rom installed on top of that kernel in this case it will be like LinuxDX (let's consider it like BIOS in pc) -------> GingerDX (let's consider it like windows operating system in pc)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] T!b:
Great work..

So this kernel will work on all x8 roms ?

And do you think it's possible to put a 2.6.35 for exemple ?

Going to unlock soon then :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] velnens123:
dx, I found a bug. Recovery doesn't work when I install LinuxDX.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dimbata:
Read first post please !!! :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Doomguy:
Same question here.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] codfreak:
@T!b:

Wait until the first custom 2.6.29 Kernels are bugless, and then ask again, I´m sure we´ll once have a 2.6.32 Kernel on our X8s....about 2.6.35/36 I´m not sure because they are only used on Honeycomb.

@DX:

I´ve been waiting for a custom Kernel for GingerDX, and now, you made one!

Big thanks from me, I´m sure that from now on we´ll have better Kernels than ever!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Raazax8:
@DX I Dont know about kernal's.

What they are, what there used for or what they do so i aint going to mess with this bit of your project's

I understand it is impressive work you have done and lot's of (people in the know) will be greatfull for this kernal.

i should hope so anyway! !

SWAP work and does not slow down my device. Finally I can play Plants vs Zombies without reducing textures in chainfire3D and without lags and fc's.

Thanks DX for that.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] DeFcOn:
please tell me how you can make swap, just create linux-swap partition on sdcard?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] gxaris:
That was one of my questions too but so far i got no answer....how do we create swap...just make a primary partition "swap" to our SD?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] DeFcOn:
we need partition with swap file system...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lancemark:
install swapper2 from the market.

I'm using 128BM SWAP file and swappiness set to 60 (because default 10 don't work in PvsZ)

Edit:

You don't need SWAP partition if You choose Swap file on SDCard

is possible remove this kernel and instal the normal kernel and work modules?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] eagleeyetom:
Yes. You can do this.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lukewong01:
DX...just a suggestion...try using BFS + bfq scheduler instead of noop or deadline...trust me...it will be much smoother than ever and multitasking much easier..;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ahmedz_1991:
doixanh, could u please check cypress driver in linuxDX v004; it misinterprets light pressure as no touch; thus making dragging and scrolling really dodgy (except if i'm squeezing my screen). THANKS in advance.

doixanh has not returned yet?

Flash stock ROM with flashtool or SEUS.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asycid:
Dear doixanh!

I've got cypress phone (I don't know if that changes anything) and it is laggy (can't scroll sometimes, because the phone thinks I just touch the screen and not sliding my finger, like the data stream from the digitizer breaks off for millisecs). I've posted an FPS2D screenshot earlier in this thread. Now...

I've made a boot logcat. Hope it will help you to smooth out this problem.

Thanks!

P.S.: I've freezed some apps (as you'll se in the logcat), but it haven't changed anything. The phone was laggy before this step too.

P.S.2: GDX v015 and LDX V003
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dzadzev:
Yes, this was reported after v002 by several users ... I have the same problem too. (cypress, clean install)

In multitouch visualizer seems to be ok, but in app drawer is very hard to scroll, also you can see the problem while moving widgets on home screen ...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Black Xperia X8:
Anyone tested this on stock xperia x8 rom?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asycid:
I know it was reported, but haven't seen any logcat from users who got this problem yet, so I attached it, hoping it will help to debug this issue. :)

BTW in multitouch visualizer, you can see this problem too, if you concentrate on the middle of the screen when you sliding on it (the "Touch the screen with one or..." sentence will pop up for millisecs. It is hard to see, but it's there too!).
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] velnens123:
Can anyone confirm that these swap settings are stable and smooth?

Swappiness: 100

Swap size: 256 MB

For me NFS Shift runs better with these settings and normal swap usage is 50-70 MB, but I did'nt play HD games.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asycid:
I don't know, but on 96MB of swap (lvl10) everything goes and loads as fast as without any swap, and yet I haven't ran into a memory full caused FC. BTW the higher the swappiness, the faster your memory card will be weared. Be careful with this.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rav3n_pl:
Wondering, calss10 SD cards are selling in my nearby shop have "lifetime guarantee" ;]
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] velnens123:
I don't really care about lifetime of my SD Card, because after 1.5 years, I will get a new phone, that has a big internal memory and a big sd card. :p
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] matii_ziomek:
I have 265 MB linuxSWAP partition and everything works great. Phone is very fast and smoth.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] velnens123:
Is your phone faster than without any swap? :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] -ReaL-:
Lifetime Warranty does not exist. this is marketing, so you have a desire to buy
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] matii_ziomek:
Yes, with SWAP my X8 is faster & smoother. Games (Angry Birds etc.) works faster and have less lags.

any other way? TIA

Doixanh i know you've been busy quite busy/away but as i saw you update gingerdx 2 times in the last days (i know that it wasn't big updates) i just wonder if you are looking for a way to have smartass working on your kernel too meanwhile?

Anyone is having lag / slow responsive while playing video?

I was using my phone to watch drama, with moboplayer, the video format was 720*404, rmvb file, with around 45mins and 205mb.

Before i installed LDX, the video was smooth. After i installed LDX, the video is still playing smooth, but it's no longer good in responsive. For example, I touched the pause, it may takes 20secs up to 2+mins to response. It is also the same for me to click back/home button. The longer time i played the video, the responsive time was getting more lag. The sound is having some problem too. Every 5-8seconds, the sound will stop for 0.5secs or had a "dak" sound.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Kin 753:
Hi all,

In some post before, some guys said to full wipe.. do i need full-wipe to install linuxdx??
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] wc_how:
No, but recommended.

I didn't full wipe since GDX007.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Kin 753:
Thanks :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] aliravari:
The new version is news?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] darknessx10:
Sorry for the question but... what are the benefits of using a custom kernel?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Chris_Castro:
Benefits.

Main modules can be loaded directly to the Kernel, thus making the ROM lighter and faster.

Also, you may have some tweaks you can't with ROM, such as BFS.

So, if you try custom kernels, they should give you a smoother experience, IMHO.

I am on LinuxDX and GingerDX.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] darknessx10:
All right... so, how can I crack the bootloader and install LinuxDX without making my phone explode? :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] brim4brim:
Hi everyone,

I'm currently using GingerDX, looking to move to this but want to know if I can revert to Stock Kernel and Stock Sony ROM afterward doing this.

The reason being I'll be giving my phone to my father who is 60 since I got an Xperia Pro Mini in the next few weeks and I want to give him the stock one unless the performance of GingerDX with Linux Kernel offers really good performance.

I'm also just a little worried about ease of use though I don't see too many issues here. But he will be using it as a phone mostly anyway and for a few apps but I've had some problems with performance myself using GingerDX on its own. Does the LinuxDX boost performance?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Chris_Castro:
Yes

Yes, you may revert to stock kernel (and GingerDX), or stock kernel (and stock ROM), you can even lock your bootloader if you need to have your phone serviced by SE.

And @darknessx10: check therad for unlocking bootloader. Remember: do this at your own risk.

Anyone tried this kernel on a E15a?

It works on E15a??
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] timpot07:
Bro, try to read some previous pages. Someone made it with 15a.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] akaSk8krew:
if i use this kernel, this kernel make my phone sloooow, maybe because bfs, i don't know..if i use this kernel with swap, it will make my phone slow too? just a question.i want use this kernel.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Chris_Castro:
E15a

Yep, it works
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Salo-S:
Thanks, i flashed this kernel to my E15a and it works fine!

Now my phone is flying :D

can somebody modify DX kernel 004 to i can OC CPU?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] amnher:
does tit mean ax8mt cypress Dt is built in?meaning this kernel is for both cypress and cynaptics? or two modules working together?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ithunter:
hey not my friend... cypress and synapatic touch pad use concern module.... not used both together
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] amnher:
So in my case I have cypress. What will linuxdx use? or Do I have to install ax8mt module manually?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] chewdaniel:
it has both modules builtin already u don't have to install it manually.

btw it was written in the first post u should read properly next time :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] amnher:
Yeah I read it that's why its confusing cause it says at the end "FAKE"...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] timpot07:
Heheh...bro, this is funny..:D maybe you should go to ax8mt thread.

anyone try netfilter/iptables? I have problem with DriodWall it says my kernel doesn't have netfilter module when i try to enable firewall, and also I can't insmod netfilter module from AnDyx.:confused:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Kin 753:
LinuxDx does not support xrecovery. Tap the screen to go CWM
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lancemark:
modules don't work on custom kernels that's why you can't insmod netfilter on LDX.

If you want to use this module you must go back to stock kernel.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ahlulnugraha:
thanks, LDX built in netfilter right? how to enable it? I can't enable firewall with DroidWall.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lancemark:
I think LDX don't have netfilter or that function doesn't on that kernel.

FXP ROM with FXP kernel have netfilter.

Or try netfilter module on a stock kernel.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dbts25:
Install alfasamsung's kernel. Droidwall works with it
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ahlulnugraha:
No, I don't like OC from alf's kernel

Doixanh said it had, look at the first post.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dbts25:
It is bug in LinuxDX and FXP kernel. Only kernel where Droidwall works is alfasamsung's kernel. If you don't want to overclock just leave frequency at 600 Mhz. Or you can use stock kernel with AndyX's module installed.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JBolho:
I'm using my X8 with GingerDX v019 and the stock kernel for about a week now and everything works great but i'm getting curious about this kernel. Is there any problem with installing it now or will i have to reinstall the rom again afterwards? I'm really not in the mood for reconfiguring and reinstalling every app again anytime soon :-P

Is the undervolt module working by default or do i have to configure it?

Thank you in advance guys.

<GDX v019 - Stock Kernel> using XDA app
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lancemark:
you can change kernel without full wipe doing only wipe cache.

But is recommend to do full wipe.

Also you can use titanium backup to backup your apps and their data on sdcard and restore that after full wipe.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JBolho:
Thanks for the tip, i'll be trying that tomorrow then.

One more thing, i know this might sound stupid but, can i make use of undervolt and overclock at the same time without problems?

<GDX v019 - Stock Kernel> using XDA app
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rav3n_pl:
You can try, but phone will be unstable on UV sometimes even on 600MHz.

When I UV+OC:768 it reboots in random moments. W/o UV it is rock solid.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] wc_how:
Just a personal experience to all.

I didn't wipe since GDX 007. That is mean i never full wipe after GDX 007, even i was changing kernel twice. (from stock to LDX and finally to alf's kernel.

I did backup before flashing.

If you ask me, how is the performance without full wipe, i can tell you the phone is running as normal as the normal, only known bug which is same with others.

But ya, the phone's first run was quite slow and lag, reboot twice and everything is back to normal. it is because i have quite a lot of apps.(60 apps not including the system.)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] xpraken:
this is possible , flash thru xrecovery or cwm ? :D im just a noob

or

i need to use

unlock the bootloader , &

flashtool ?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] fabiosilva:
O fcourse you need unlocked bootloader and flash with flashtool ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] xpraken:
mee too im scared :D

bcoz the tutorial of

unlockboot loader & flashtool

its so complicated to me &

i cant find a thread with simple & easy to understand tutorial :(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] fabiosilva:
Yes you can overclock but not with this kernel.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] velnens123:
I hate noobs, because they always are scared:

"What if I do this and my phone won't boot..."

"AAAAAAA, my phone won't boot, what should I do?"
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JBolho:
Give the man a break, we were all noobs one day, lol :-)

I'm not scared, i flash my phones ever since i had a Motorola V550, but i did find the bootloader tutorial somewhat confusing too.

if you value your xperia x8 , you be worried :)

( its so xpensive its take 1 month to save and buy xperia :D )
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
Everybody was noob some time in the past. What you need is to be brave and follow the tutorials here. Your problems will mostly be solved by someone who had it already.

If it doesn't work, just use seus and restore your phone. Everything will be fine.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dotsen9:
For me it's taking longer...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JBolho:
Well, i really want to install this kernel into my X8 but i've read a million times the tutorial on how to unlock bootloader and i just dont understand it... i'm feeling really dumb right now :(

My phone is network-locked, do i need to have it unlocked?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] codfreak:
It´s very easy, it´s just the tutorial that´s complicated.

Just read it again, and if you still don´t get it, PM me, as it´s very easy.

BTW: I´d really recommend all who havenßt installed this great kernel yet to install it now, as it really makes GingerDx faster.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] 2010matej:
:(((

I have got one problem. I have installed GingerDX v018 and I'm realy happy. My battery when I first time install v018 stay for 4-5 days. Because: 1.Clean abttery stats. 2.Turn off 'Allow mock locations'. [unconfirmed] 3.Freeze unused services 4.Download from market Brightness widget and I change brightness to 5%. 5.Turn off WiFi,GPS,Bluetooth and I install just Brightness app and Advanced task killer. But when I install about 10 apps my battery became very bad. And I saw that the Facebook start without myself soo I unistalled them and I install SEESMIC and it's helped. I saw the second option for drain battery: Full wipe, reinstall GingerDX

Use stock GingerDX for several days to see battery problem is caused by GingerDX or not

If it isn't drain, try installing one of your apps, test battery for 1 day, install another one, and test

and so on...

But i've got one big fu**ing problem. I unlock my bootloader and flash LinuxDX v04. All apps and diferent things work but my SIM card doesn't work. Soo I put my SIM card to my old phone SE S500i and my SIM work fine and I use my S500i for one week. Than I pissed because I can't use my x8 without SIM card so I go time back instalation. First I flash 2.1 C.... custom firmware but my SIM card not work and than I RELOCK MY BOOTLOADER and my SIM started to work but the BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THAT I CAN'T HAVE INSTALLED CUSTOM KERNEL LINUX DX because my SIM card doesn't work because I have unlocked bootloader without unlock loader I can't flash linux DX. Does anybody Know how can I use Linux DX with work SIM card. Thanks for all XDA developers the ginger dx version is the best!!!

Sorry for my badddd English I'm from Slovenia!
