I can share my 128mb swap file.

on wich filesharing service i should upload it?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] timpot07:
Wow! Thanks... can you post it here or anywhere you want..thanks again..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JeffreyX8:
1st go to swapper2 setting, change the location to /mnt/sdcard/swapfile.swp

change the swap file. safe umount/ safe mount select it.

menu key again to create screen will show "please wait!" if you wait then you will think is hangs. just skip it. press the "On" , the screen will show out information on process create swap file and enable it. wait until screen "All done".

then you can check the info. you will saw the swap it enable it.

i cannot export my contact to sd card.. saying no sd card detected...

but i can access my sd card..

is there anyone experiencing like this?, i did a full wipe
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ithunter:
nope... .... ....
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] guelas:
it works just correct, it's /mnt/sdcard instead of /mnt/sdcard/sdcard and when you go to main screen,click Swap Create, wait a few seconds and then click "On". I tried to click right away and it didn't work, i waited a few seconds i got more info:

Seeting Swappiness OK

turning swap off(file) ok

removing swap file ok

bla bla bla .....

till

All done!

:D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] eagleeyetom:
There's a little bug in kernel. dx mentioned that he will be able to fix this soon. In this moment you could use alfsamsung's method...

...or biscoitu's one.

After this you should be able to import/export yours contacts.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] vixkes:
is possible add overclock ?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] T!b:
What feature it could fun to integrate in new version ?

GPU OC ? ^^
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JeffreyX8:
oh ya~ that's my typo for location :p

anyway thanks for your correct it.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] mastermikeywwt:
Why did you remove chargemon? Its kinda preferred to have that :/
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Hefko:
Touchscreen in launcher doesn't work properly. Like in home screen I can't move icons without stronger touch/more touches. It is bug? Without custom kernel it works normally.

GingerDX v015 + LinuxDX v 003
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] DeFcOn:
i have the same!:(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dmcb123:
I don't have this? maybe try a fresh installation of the kernel? (flash 2.1, root unlock bootloader etc.) Hope you get it sorted out :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] DeFcOn:
i tryed it!!!:mad:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Skyler1:
doixanh, write OC for LinuxDX please
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] supermanno1:
Thank you :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dbzladsl:
has anyone tested this new kernel? Are there improvements in X8 performances?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lukewong01:
DX..thanks for the great kernel..swap modules please?..;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
I think I enabled swap support already. Need top recheck.

Btw, this kernel is tested only on my gingerdx. I didn't check with stock or other roms.

Send from my GingerDX using XDA App
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] SpyderX:
Woohoo! Swap support. Time to reformat my sd card I think...

Oh and BTW doixanh, I think that to fix the wifi, a recompile of the wifi module is needed. Is it sdio.ko?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JeffreyX8:
I follow the step flash the kernel, but it keep boot loops on Dx Logo...

anything thing that i make wrong?

P/s: My X8 is has unlock bootloader...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
You should delete ALL files in /system/lib/modules. However it is optional...

Do you have E15a? I don't have E15a so it's risky with E15a :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JeffreyX8:
My X8 is E15i, i think it should be cause with /system/lib/modules...

so now the next step i should flash back to stock 2.1?

Thanks
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] biscoitu:
Sry for noob question, but, the kernel for E15a is different than E15i? Because I saw that the difference in it is about frequency of network it works. Is there any relationship between network freq. and kernel?

Edit: I will try it here, mine is E15a :D, let´s see what will happen. btw, I just noticed that on GingerDX, my phone drained about 14% of battery on Airplane mode after a fresh reboot (not complaining), and I´m making some tests to see what is wrong here. Just an add to this, with miniCM, if I unplug my phone from charger and put it on airplane mode, it doesn´t drain 1% of battery for at least 8 hours. Is there some way to try monitoring process of phone, maybe if I activate monitor on system panel. dunno. I will try something and reply. Time to flash the dx´s kernel :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
You can use flashtool to flash stock 2.1, or simply flash FXP's kernel. It will work.

@biscotu: I don't know :D I just don't have E15a so I'm not sure about that :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] JeffreyX8:
Ok Thanks doixanh, i will try it and later will feedback

Edit: everything fine after remove /system/lib/module... then can be boot in... great ROM!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lotus13:
I've flashed this kernel in GC 7.4. everything is smooth and fast....just the known bug(wifi)

No reboots...no blowups... great job DX :D

If you follow the tutorial and READ ALL about flashing custom kernel with extreme attention you have no problem.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] SpyderX:
One more thing, doixanh. When you say swap support do you mean BOTH swap file and swap partition support, ONLY swap partition support, or ONLY swap file support? :confused:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] biscoitu:
Well, as I thought, seems to be that there is no relationship between kernel and network freq. Dx´s kernel booted like a charm here, and my apps loaded faster than before. Here is a screen that shows it is really running. I hope soon in your free time you solve Wifi and maybe hotspot for us dx. :)

Thks a lot for giving better experience with our X8
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
I've just rechecked, swap was enabled. It should work with both file and partition.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] l373872514:
maybe u will update it
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] velnens123:
@doxianh What do you mean by "Thanks to racht for your great compiling machine!" Did racht compile it? Or what?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] boyngeemmaa:
Do Gingercruzt have a latest kernel? My kernel is also 2.6.29
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] diegoxcore12:
Working on mini cm7 and e15a, thanks dx
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Koulis2000:
I can't boot in any Recovery, not xRecovery nor CWM. Installed both again and I can not boot in any of these. I have installed this module and FXP ROM, I want to change the ROM to GDXv014 and I can not. Sorry if it's sounds like a spam. Trolling and spamming are not my ways to show myself.

I am going to try Dual Recovery.

That's what im getting in flash tool 2.9.1 and 2.8.... and yes i turned on un sour and deb.

Help?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] bbeanss:
It means it should be done, you get that message when flashing any Firmware/Kernel, because the flashing software was originally for flashing stock firmware, but the stock firmware doesn't really ever have Debugging or Unknown Sources turned on, so it's nothing to worry about bro.

Beans
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] gawran1:
Okaj, i was worried for a second because it was "flash aborted" and stuff :)

Hm i flashed v003 kernel and i am getting gingerdx logo and then nothing oO
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] diegoxcore12:
make a full wipe in clock work mod
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] gawran1:
How? I cant do anything with it,i have just this gingerdx logo
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] fabiosilva:
Try to flash it again.

Do you have any ROM installed at least?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] gawran1:
I tryed to flash it again but nothing, i have stock rom because i unlocked bootloader few minutes ago, i was thinking that the stock rom wont be a problem...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] fabiosilva:
Just flash again stock kernel, unlock bootloader again, install a custom ROM and again install LinuxDX v3.

That should work.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] gawran1:
Oke i gona try that, thx
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] fabiosilva:
I hope it work.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] gawran1:
This canot be posible, i unlocked bootloader with msm7227_setool2 because i unlocked my phone with se tool box and my phone i locked again?!

And now the wifi wont work, omfg
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Skyler1:
i want overclock 710mhz:D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] eagleeyetom:
Geez. Give a break. If you want OC you don't have to use this kernel. Maybe some others offers this kind of stuff. Or you could build your own kernel with OC, GOC and Space Marine on board. You could gently ask once, but remember, don't demand.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] gawran1:
No one can help me? My network is locked again :(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] fabiosilva:
On the boot loader thread on the first post there is an advise that this could happen!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] gawran1:
And the solution is where?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] gigamega:
I have the requirements, but when I open flashtool, and click on "flash", i can't select the downloaded .ftf. How I can flash it?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] shitlord68:
Make sure you moved .ftf file to firmware folder in flashtool installation folder on your PC...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] janda:
Try to unlock the phone again using set*ol. No more credits will be used.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] fabiosilva:
The solution is unlock the SIM lock again.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] skyboyextreme:
i have read few pages back but found no body mentioning this , i just flashed linuxdx on a super clean install but wifi turns on but detects nothing not a single network this on a freshly installed gdx 16 too it just turns on finds nothing then automatically switches off again on it's own !

Edit : after reading some pages back in the GDX thread i guess it's a rom related issue not a kernel related....

Edit 2 : also confirming that sdcard can't be accessed it shows it blank in root explorer

thanks....
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rav3n_pl:
1. GDX need wifi fix form v14

2. sdcard is mounted in different place in DGX, see /mnt

3. try FXP ;]
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] psxsnake:
i try to install that kernel without success :(

every time I try, in flashtool (2.9.1) i get message error:

turn on unknown sources and debugging

but are already on...I try on fresh install rom GingerDX 015 full wipe, too

help me
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] SpyderX:
Flash this in...

FLASH MODE, not USB debugging mode.

How to get into flash mode?

Simple. Power off your phone, then open Flashtool and click Flash. After selecting the appropiate .ftf file, it will prompt you to connect your phone in Flash mode. At this point, press and hold the back button on your phone and connect it to the PC.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] SpyderX:
Oh my gosh, did you even read the first post properly? You NEED TO UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER ON YOUR PHONE!

Instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1254225
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] goonsquadx8:
Your problem is you havent unlocked bootloader at all the R8A029 should have a non capital r init.

Read first page and make.right

whether some other way to improve the kernel?

or dx has made ​​all that possible?

sorry for my bad english.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] eagleeyetom:
Yeah. There is one great way - WAIT (or learn C++ and other programming languages and write your own kernel).
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rav3n_pl:
Not unlocked!

There is your problem - you NOT have unlocked bootloader!

Locked: R8A029

unlocked: r8A029

First letter have to be small "r" not CAPITAL "R".

gawran1 .... Did you try full wipe (data,dalvik cache ....)???

Anyway can someone tell me how many files are there in system/lib/modules ? Thanks
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] gaillard:
in gingerdxv014 there are 17 modules at all

in gingerdx v015 ownwards released there are 8 modules because some modules are provided on linuxdx kernel..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dimbata:

can't install any apps using this kernel it always makes my device restart when "installing" i guess this bug was posted before i'm just confirming it more....
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lancemark:
known bug. You did not use full wipe after changing rom or kernel. Do full wipe and bug will be solved.

If someone have any bug after flashing rom/kernel try full wipe. if after wull wipe bug is still then report that.

Full Wipe is solving almost every bug.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] skyboyextreme:
i full wipe BEFORE and AFTER installing rom/kernel, maybe there is a problem with my phone cause it has been restarting with GDX013 it was working fine on v13 for like 2 weeks then it suddenly started rebooting every now and then....btw i don't use OC , maybe my problem is starting to "screw up" :mad:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lancemark:
Full wipe did not solve that?? hmm...

Try to reflash Kernel and Rom and format your sdcard. Maybe that will help.

Do you have ext partition on SD?? what ver? (2,3,4) maybe there is problem with ext partition and app2sd script don't work and reboots your phone.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] cdanisor:
very smooth with GingerDX v017 but it has a lot of conflicts with some apps, fix_permissions fixes the market and some apps but others that try to download components on sdcard don't work cuz they try to use the standard folder sdcard, will revert back to stock kernel and wait for a future version,

thanks for your effort dx

PS: to fix the market and app instalation open terminal emulator and write:

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dimbata:
Hello everyone .... I have a small question about performance .... :)

What i tried today (before exactly 2 minutes) is that i flashed Kernel v.1 and the phone was super smooth and extremely fast (no mddi lags (avg 4.5 5.0)! Now i'm with Kernel v.3 and found out that the phone is smooth but isn't so fast (mddi lag is 8.5 9.0 10.00 avg)! Is there any way to get the scores from v.1 with v.3? I tried both full wipes and everything but this is what i'm getting! Anyway the job made from DX is simply PERFECT!!! Keep it up ! :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] doixanh:
Perhaps this is because bfs. That's why I asked you guys to test and report back the performance and responsiveness for me.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] cdanisor:
any chance u could make it like stock kernel to use standard sdcard folder? or is it to hard ... i have a few apps that download components and they wont download them in any other folder so obviously they wont work cuz they try to download into sdcard folder from system root.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dimbata:
Well ... i can say that i have tested it with both of your works (I mean kernel and ROM) and this is what i get :) Sorry for bothering Dx, but when you release version 4 of the kernel could you make just a small thing .... just add overclock just for test don't remove anything now it's pretty well ! Everything is working ... maybe the BFS can work good with overclock (like you did in v.1 make it 614) :) this is just a suggestion ! except everything it is smooth enough and responsivness is verry good!
