[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Superuser.Angga:
@DX you need to change wifi module to make wifi work
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] fakhry7:
come to think of it.

what are kernel?

where is the screenshot? (for example?)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] moaj:
my question also
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] AChep:
Nice work, dx
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lotus13:
Nice work DX !!!

unfortunately i use WiFi a lot so i will w8 for next update :D

I'm really sorry to see these guys that want kernel but they dont know what it is:

Don't get disappointed for them
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] deedii:
Yes I remember Angga has the same question regarding wifi, it will be fix soon :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] chewdaniel:
GJ, DX :D

anyways... shouldn't u have a warning of some sort to remove the modules already included in your kernel? it will mess up the memory addressing and cause bootloops, no?

also, requirements should have "Unlocked bootloader" too for those ignorant twits :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] estonia1:
Wow, nice worck!!!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] timpot07:
Wow! You're so great. Maybe you can be one of the president of SE. Nice bro. :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lovex8:
Can't boot with stock rom. Appear the GDX boot image but then go to black screen.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] skyboyextreme:
Thanks but I guess it will be hard for just one man to develop a kernel and a rom at the same time....so i appreciate all of this contribution to this community
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] proadi96:
Good work ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jahlovePL:
@dx, I've created FAT32 and ext4 partitions on SD, but when I installed app phone just freeze and have to reboot. Ext3 is working fine.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] AntwnhsAnt:
Since it's in Development Kernel, I guess he fixed it! :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] biscoitu:
Hey bro, the problem isn´t if tiwlan module is good or not, the issue here is that the original module that we have already compiled is for kernel 2.6.29, and it looks for this to load. As this new kernel uses 2.6.29-dx-v002 as string for its version, original modules can´t be loaded. On FXP, it loads because tiwlan was built from sources with almost everything on ROM. So, it can´t be compared with GingerDX or other ROM since it was ported from CyanogenMod with some improvements. In case of GingerDX he implemented some personal features and started developing sense feature for his ROM. I tried but failed trying hex-editing the modules and inserting the string to make it load :p. BTW, I´m not a network user with my phone, so I can wait :p. For those that don´t like to wait for devs to solve issues, use stock kernel instead of custom one :).

@doixanh, one thing that I notice with this new kernel is that my LP stopped giving me FC after boot, but It gets a bit more to let phone responsive, maybe it is caused by BFC I guess. Now I gonna test the battery life with my normal use of phone, on v001 with GingerDX 14, I got almost 4 days without recharging. Thks mate.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] terranox:
Im waiting for v3 wifi fix :)

One question.. if me create swap and ext4 partition, will my phone more fast??? Thank
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] AntwnhsAnt:
Swap will add more RAM to your phone and ext4(I don't think it's working, use ext3) will add more space for installing apps! Neither of them will make your phone faster...:/
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
Guys, did you test v2 responsiveness? What do you think about BFS?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] gxaris:
2nd day i am testing it with DX v15.

Everything works fast and smooth. No problems with scrolling, no application crashes, no lags whatsoever.

there is only some lag i have noticed when i am pulling the status bar, but i read that this is a CM7 bug.

Note: i am using Juwe's ramscript and i have 75-90 MB free
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dmcb123:
same as above :) smooth as hell, battery life is good but i havent tested it on a normal day yet. its fast smooth responsive with only the known bug :) all in all excellent kernel :) good job sir, another excellent service from you :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dimbata:
Hello everyone!

I want to share my opinion for the v.2 Kernel and v.15 ROM :)

I have isntalled them both (with full wipe, etc...) but there is something that is very annoing! I don't know if you have it but i am having a lot of LAG while using the phone (scrolling, calls, games.) Is this normal or i am doing something wrong?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dmcb123:
i had that at first but then i flashed it again and just used it for like an hour or two and restarted once or twice. it was a bit of an inconvenience but its definitely worth it :D the kernel is amazing. try using the optimize toolbox as well :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] SMALLJIM:
as I do the swap? thanks
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] mastermikeywwt:
Hmm there is a performance increase for me, but only slight. Need to overclock this so going to try the oc modules and see if they still work. Wifi obvious doesn't work as stated, no real biggy for version 002, but its pretty important. Everything else appears to work ok. Btw im using GingerDX v015

Edit: Old oc modules do not work =(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] AntwnhsAnt:
Of course old modules don't work! they have been compiled for the stock kernel! Doixanh must compile them to work with this kernel, so if you want oc use another kernel or wait for Doixanh to include it (if he wants)...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Griffrez:
Is it possible to create Real DT for Synaptics screens? Also, I need that Wifi back. Hehe. Just kidding, no stress. :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
I need confirmation from you guys about responsiveness before making any improvements. This is because bfs things cannot be reversed.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] SMALLJIM:
IF EVERYTHING IS TO IMPROVE, go ahead DOIXANH
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] gxaris:
for me responsiveness is better than ever. My phone is fast: fast apps, menu, no lags except the status bar
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dmcb123:
responsiveness needs very little improvement if any! from my experience just a little tune up is needed nothing massive :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sirdree:
Hi.

I'm using LinuxDX v.002 and GingerDX v015.

1: process com.android.settings crash everytime and is impossible to enter on CyanogenMod Settings. Any suggestion!!! i try full wipe to but nothing change, promlem persist.

2: Sincerly for me is not clear if wifi works???!!! for me it doesn't work. When i try to activate it says: error and return off.

Thanks for attention :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] biscoitu:
Well, for me it is very responsive, the only delay is after boot, the phone slows down a bit, but after 15~20s the phone become responsive and smooth :)

Edit: maybe this is cause by some apps on sdcard that take a while to load. Maybe it would be good if I make a fresh install without apps and take a look at this. I will make it tomorrow and give you feedback. :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pranavsg07:
flashed back to stock kernel. the problem with 002 is that sometimes its very fast and sometimes its so slow that the phone freezes and the battery has to be removed to reboot. it takes a lot of time to open simple apps such as file manager.the black screen stays for nearly 5-7 sec before opening.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] junixquiaoit:
sometimes it lags and not responsive. (Im using my phone frquently)

Im noticing some FCs on android.XXX and some apps. @_@

sad, it is very responsive but after sometime it lags again. @_@
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] werneq:
please, help me

maybe someone have same problem.. so

when I try flash the LinuxDX, just return the error

INFO - Found at USB\VID_0FCE&PID_ADDE\6&2BC2CA&0&5

INFO - Start Flashing

INFO - VER="R8A029";DATE="20100601";TIME="12:17:00";

but this already on, :(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] l373872514:
I think U have 2 unlock your bootloader first,if u had done this，u just need try 2 flash LinuxDX again

sorry 4 my bad english
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] langslove:
Wow!!!Good guys，:)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] gxaris:
I had the same problems too, i.e slow app opening, sometimes system was too slow and i had to reboot etc.

What i did was installing DX 15 again and doind full wipe. That fixed all my problems.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
Many people don't like full wipe, and that is the cause of instability.

@all: Full wipe before posting problem please!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] fabian_s:
No problems here. GingerDX 015 and LinuxDX v002. Everything fine and stable. Only problem is the wifi what is fixed soon i hope :)

Edit: I did full wipe, no clue what would have happend without it.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pranavsg07:
I always do full wipe but I still have the problem.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lancemark:
@pranavsg07

Maybe you have the same problem what i found.

Phone work very ast until /init proces gets errors and fall into infinite loop and eat 70 - 100% processor. When /init process has 100% cpu load the phone is very slloooooowww

only what you can do is restart the phone but this is temporary solution because this problem will come back.

I'm testing that problem right now. maybe i will find solution.

edit :

To check your init proces use OS monitor from the market.

run it go to options uncheck "Hide system Process" and go back to precesses list.

search for /init with pid = 1. Normally that process don't use cpu and is on the bottom of the list.

but if has error then is on the top of the list and use all available processor time.

I find the way to have /init process error immediately.

run os monitor go to options and check "Enable ROOT MODE" and go back to processes list.

select OS Monitor proces and kill. application will be closed and the init proces will get error.

you can check that by run os monitor again and check the list.

if init process will not use processor the probably you will never have problem with /init process.

2and Edit:

I've tested that on stock kernel and LinuxDX v001 and v002 on GDX v14(with wifi fix) and GDXv15(with phone fix and without modules), i also use full wipe and that problem only appears on LinuxDX v002 in both GDX ROM.

So that seams to be only a LinuxDX v002 problem.

I hope doixanh can fix that in the future.

sorry for ma bad English. I hope you can understand this.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lukewong01:
Y is it there is no ext2 partition? ?..

It doesn't detect??
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pranavsg07:
yes i had the very same problem. i will try flashing to linuxdx002 again and try what u just posted about the OS process monitor.

i am sorry if i am only posting problems. there are a lot of good things also like fast booting time, more responsiveness, built in modules etc.(no idea if i will ever need swap or what is BFS(read about it but its over my head.))

i am no developer but i understand the time and effort to create something. thank u so much DX.

@lancemark

your english is good. no problem about that.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] T!b:
Got the same problem,my phone freeze sometime and the only solution is to remove battery. Smartass governor makes my phone reboot too.

I'm under FB for information, is this kernel specialy for GDX ?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Godra:
Yes, for now only GDX support.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
This slowness maybe caused by chargemon support. I will remove chargemon support in v003 and we will see stability.

So basic changes in v003 will be:

- WiFi fix

- Remove chargemon support
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JeffreyX8:
Well, what i'm facing problem same as above friends sharing out.

Sometime the whole system will be lag even no running application,

if running the application respond quite slow or maybe FC.

setting will be force close too sometime have no respond.

I found that Compcache RAM usage that must click on disable it, if not system will crash or very slow and lag.

VM heap size better maintain it on 32m

after that in CWM wipe dalvik-cache and format cache, reboot it, do again reboot and again.

now my phone become smooth, fast and stable again. The important thing is battery increase more long time.

maybe you all can try and see how is the result.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dzadzev:
I'm confirming everything you just said ...

I'm testing LDX 002 with GDX 015 (clean install) for two days now and I noticed few times system hangs with 100% cpu usage and the only way to get out is rebooting or removing the battery, but I was not able to reproduce that problem until now when I followed your steps with OS monitor ...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lancemark:
Ow! I see that many people have the same problem. I suggests to flash LinuxDX v001

or Stock Kernel to solve this problem and wait for LinuxDX v003.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JeffreyX8:
Guys, i need you all help me testing. First do reboot the phone, after boot on, running 1 by 1 different application and see, (include root application like root explorer, Titanium backup) your system should be get it slow by slow until hangs it. just now i running 1 apk have sound when start up. i found that the application black screen but keep on sound play out, even i kill process still same. is it because the system doesn't kill the application all of our running application until our RAM full/CPU 100% and system hangs?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] terranox:
ext4 file system does not work? and also swap?

I partition my sd card and I did not recognize the partitions.

this is a bug?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lancemark:
don't create swap partition because that does not work.

If you want swap use swap file method instead swap partition.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] velnens123:
Can you please explain how? I've been trying with Swapper 2 and Swapper for root, but it just does not work.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] terranox:
but if I make a swap file would have to start it manually at each reboot? if so I do not

I now I have 3 gb fat32 memory 1 gb memory and ext4. Is this correct?

As applications move to ext4 partition?

sorry for my bad English
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lancemark:
I don't have problem with swapper2 on both (v001 and v002) LinuxDX kernel version.

Maybe you have wrong settings.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] DAXGr:
Guys don't use swap, wait for COMPCACHE
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] DeFcOn:
what is the compcache?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dzadzev:
Yeah, it's that easy ... you can do Google search for everything you don't know ... even for compcache
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] molimo:
hey guys,

Fake dual touch by kernel is same as DT by module or is better than it??
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dmcb123:
Fake dual touch by kernel is the same as Fake dual touch by module.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lukewong01:
ok..=)...cant wait for wifi fix...why not a hotfix?..so that faster to be fixed....i mean..i always use wifi.....

But..is ok dx..=D..i will wait for v003
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rikcon:
OMG,dx,my phone never was so fast,(LinuxDX 003,+ GingerDXv014) i have 70 mb of free ram!!!!

Your projects are great,i even don't want to sell X8 because of you ^_^
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
Check problems with killing root apps and report please. It isn't happening on my phone with v003.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] -ReaL-:
what must happen? nothing...:confused: all works ok

wifi works!!!:p
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lancemark:
Wifi work to me (Finally :) )

SWAP work good also.

i don't have problem with /init process now

Cpu scores in benchmarks better than v001 the same as v002 so i think bfs work.

xRecovery don't work (i now why).

CWM recovery work.

Edit:

Smartass still don't work.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lotus13:
I can not mount sd card x(.any suggestions ?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] -ReaL-:
OMG! SDCard unmounted and cant be mounted!1
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pranavsg07:
flashed 003. no problems till now. everything is smooth again.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] -ReaL-:
GO to sdcard)))
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] terranox:
as I move my applications to the ext4 partition??

this is done automatically??

or I have to do manually with another program???

can anyone help?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] -ReaL-:
Information about SDCard shows in PhoneSettings so it is mouted. but filemanegers cant access it((
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
Does a reboot help?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lancemark:
I don't have that problem.

I can access sdcard by io filemanager and install apps from sd
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] gaillard:
in root explorer i cannot access the sd card,,, there is no visible folder or files,,, but in file manager there is... all files were there and working fine,,

edit...

full wipe at several times done nothing even installing different version of root explorer...

using smartass and smartass v2 makes it reboot,,,, still not working,,

going back to stock kernel....
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] timpot07:
+1.. And i can't go to xrecov..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lancemark:
there is the difference in path to sdcard (i saw that after few tests)

there are 2 path to sdcard

1) /sdcard/

2) /mnt/sdcard/

first path to sd doesn't work now so programs using first path to sd like root explorer can't access the sd.

programs that use second path can work normally (example io file manager has default mnt/sdcard/ path , titanium backup also work to me and swapper2 (when i change path to swap file)

programs that want to set path to files or folders on sd please set /mnt/sdcard/ and that will work.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] viper001:
regarding the Swap File. Have you tried to go to the Terminal Emulator and typing "free" without qoutes. this will give you the amount of free memory, which includes swap. if it's zero then swap is not working.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lancemark:
yes i've tried and it work good

also i've tried Plants vs Zombies and also work. (don't work without swap)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
Maybe I will make a soft link from mnt sdcard to sdcard, so that will help old apps.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pranavsg07:
went to sd card. its working fine in default file explorer. in root explorer i have to go to mnt/sdcard but its fine. i don't use smartass governor so no issues about that. going to use this kernel for now.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] 15jkeee:
so, i installed linuxdx003+gingerdx015, almost things are working, but i cant make a call! when i have incomming call or when i try to make a call, i have error, which show that com.android.phone is down. but I cant miss, that the Internet and SMS are working.

also i have cycle reboot when i choose smartass/smartassV2 governor
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] biscoitu:
There is a fix for this on GingerDX Thread at first post man. Just flash it and everything will be fine :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] 15jkeee:
oh, thx dude, i didnt see it there:rolleyes:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] gxaris:
I'd like to report a similar problem using 003 with DX15.

I can see my SD card and all the files in it with file explorer, but i cant install any apk that i have saved in the SD. Whichever app i am trying to install from the SD, my phone freezes and reboots after 1-2 mins.

EDIT: same thing happens when i try to download and install apps from the market...

I have full wiped many times.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jonsey:
Me too...i've GingerDX 014 + LinuxDX003 and the X8 is always restarting... :(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] DeanBoro:
I can not install anything from the Market, Phone just reboots =/
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] timpot07:
Someone manage to reboot to xrecov with v003?thanks...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
Because chargemon is not supported in v003, xRecovery will not be available.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lancemark:
Did you do full wipe?? full wipe will sovle the problem with restarting phone when you installing app.

xRecovery will not work on LinuxDX v003.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dzadzev:
@doixanh

Thanks for the wifi fix in 003, also 100% load of init process is now fixed (I just tested) :D

I'm now very happy with 003 kernel :p
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] :
@doixanh: Here's a suggestion ...

How about you include a CRC32, MD5 or SHA-1 checksum at the download links so people can verify if the file they downloaded (either the kernel .ftf or the ROM .zip) is a-ok ?

For Windows there's Hashtab which can generate a bunch of checksums about a file.

For Linux systems, well, md5sum/sha1sum should ship with the default package selection; for CRC32 I slapped together a small .c source to do the job (as that is somehow completely missing in Linux for reasons that escape me)

In case of the kernel I think it's very important to make sure the file is perfectly fine as flashing a borked download my cause unforseeable problems.

While there hasn't been any incident with a bad flash of the kernel yet we already saw several problems over in the ROM thread where xRec/CMRec complained about a MD5 mismatch.

Oh - and while I understand that no one would like to downgrade to Stock ... how about putting a link to the Stock kernel .ftf in case someone wants/needs to flash back to Stock (i.e.: device will be sold or something along this line)?

Just a suggestion to maybe make things easier.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] timpot07:
Thanks bro.. This mean that i have to change the script from xrecov to cwm before i can install the update? Thanks again..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lancemark:
yes

only CWM Recovery work on LinuxDX v003
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] timpot07:
Okie..thanks bro...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jonsey:
just come back to stock kernel...and now Wi-Fi don't works :\
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Michal1994:
I have small problem. I need OC in my x8. But i installed your kernel and add x8oc.ko to /system/lib/modules/ and OC don't work. How can I fix this
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] AntwnhsAnt:
You can't use old modules with custom kernels! They only work with stock kernel!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] skowrone:
pls DX add OC to your kernel then will be perfect
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] xp7:
merci moudel man:D

how to restore kernal stock????
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] -ReaL-:
doixahn! I beg you to fix the problem with sdcard as soon as possible!:(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] DeFcOn:
what is the problem with sd card???
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] chewdaniel:
idk what file manager u use. but for ES File Explorer in Settings the Home directory is defaulted to /sdcard/ and all you need to do is change it to /mnt/sdcard/
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] -ReaL-:
But other soft that works with SD still dont works! Such as games with cache on SD! Camera will not work, becaseit save photos on SD:(

edit: stock camera works...hm
