Ok guys I patched DooMKernel for STOCK ROM for Xperia Neo. Please read the warning also. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19158662&postcount=353

I CAN'T PATCH DOOMKERNEL FOR CM7 FOR XPERIA NEO, BECAUSE I CAN'T FIND DOOMLORD'S POST... I THINK HE DIDN'T EVEN WORKED ON IT. Correct me if I'm wrong
[Xperia Arc General] feydz:
its ok! with fw .042 working well, the patch showing the % of battery ok, and very fast!

Thanks steryman.
[Xperia Arc General] kalarox:
the patch works...but when the battery discharges below 90% it suddenly switches off...and when i try to switch it on back...the red light blinks....:mad:
[Xperia Arc General] tieptiep:
Because don't forget this patch is for giving Fake charge %

Even if it shows 100%, it's maybe 10% or less!

And for a complete charge, you have to plugOut/Plugin Charger every 15 minutes I guess..

Bazoocaze, Your work is one of the best! you just gave to many people the hope They can now use their phones! Others programmers gave up suddenly and didn't try to think about how to help people!

I think is harder to do what you're doing!

Cheers!! ^_^
[Xperia Arc General] Bazoocaze:
You must be using latest patched kernel (stock v4) and apk fix v1.3.

On apk, start the monitor service, and configure it to run on startup. Then, on the first charge, connect charger and choose "Start full charge" on apk (via menu button), to do a full 3 hours charge to your battery. With this, the real and calculated battery charge will be both 100%.

MOD EDIT: changed font size due to complaint
[Xperia Arc General] steryman:
@Mehdi.xterra: Make sure you flashed .42 FW before flashing the boot.img, because feydz said it's working fine and it's fast. Anyway, I did all I could... And I'll still try to patch DooMKernel for CM7... but first of all I have to patch .368 for Neo, then DooMKernel for MiUI for Arc, then DooMKernel for CM7 for Xperia Neo
[Xperia Arc General] itachi naruto:
hi Bazoocaze , first thank you what you did for us .you can add extra button with patch filda change, because a number of applications that run faster than your your programming should be quickly drain the battery status, then charge at the high level of 50%
[Xperia Arc General] mehdi.xterra:
dear steryman i flashed .42 first and then flashing boot.img but phone just on startup very slow and laggy and turn off randomly and red led is flash, and when turn on the phone doomkernel logo is waiting for 2-3 min

Did you wipe at recovery¿? Here is the steps i take:

1º Flash 0.42 with flash tool

2º Before power on, connect the Neo / Arc in fastboot and flash the kernel

3º Wipe al settings in recovery, Wipe Cache

4º Power on and configure

5º I´ll use the "full charge" in the menu of the apk, and wait to 100%, and all goes fast and ok

Brilliant :D

Thanks you Bazoocaze!

I'm uninstalling the battery indicator app now :D
[Xperia Arc General] srebar:
Thanks again Bazoocaze & steryman for all your hard work.

I notice something in the battery fix, that when GPS is enabled it is not active (no indication) in the battery fix apk. GPS drains a lot of battery and I think when someone uses it even on charger it will drain the phone empty in a couple of hours. Please look into it, and again thank you for the graeat work (your beer(s) from me are coming soon ;) )
[Xperia Arc General] Alucard93:
hi, one question Installed the new APK but my icons remain the same and I don't have the % of the battery =S, thanks
[Xperia Arc General] FiDra:
Pull down the notification bar and you will see the percentage :)
[Xperia Arc General] Bazoocaze:
With regard to energy consumption, the GPS can be in three different states: disabled, enabled, and in use. The power consumption of the GPS is only relevant when it is in use.

In fact, GPS is not monitored by ApkFix, because I'm still looking for a reliable way to know if the GPS is in use by Android. When I figure out a way not too complex to obtain this information, I will incorporated it into the calculation of the battery drain.

And don't forget to not use the phone on charger, because of the messy temperature sensor from fuel gauge.
[Xperia Arc General] steryman:
Okay now I'm trying to patch DooMKernel for CM7 for Neo... & I'll integrate the apk in the update.zip starting with the next week, when FXP046 will be released

[Xperia Arc General] ajennn@163.com:
hi bazoocaze ...... my english is poor. ..

i have a idea. ..

can you change the fix.apk some buttons. ... for example 'charge 30 mins. charge 1 hour . charge 2 hours..charge 3 hours. ..or.....charge custom time

if the battery only use 30％ power ...at this time....i choose the 'charge 1 hour' button.............

how do you think....
[Xperia Arc General] Vedita:
Thank Bazoocaze Steryman and the work you will still have a definitive solution to this problem of the battery? Maybe with some version that corrects this?
[Xperia Arc General] Bazoocaze:
Simply charge the time you want - optionally selecting "Start full charge" from menu.

When you are done charging, select "Full battery" on menu, to set battery back to 100%.
[Xperia Arc General] Bazoocaze:
It's an unrecoverable hardware failure in one of the phone motherboard components. You have to change the defective component, or the whole phone motherboard.

Or you can keep with our workaround. People seems to be very happy with the workaround / patch. Maybe they can share here they experience and feelings about the live with the patch... :)

Hi.

--- Kernel ---

I patched the 4.0.2.A.0.42 stock kernel. You can download de patched version on first post.

You must be stock firmware 2.3.4 kernel 4.0.2.A.0.42 to try this version :)

Try it, and report here in case of error.

Enjoy

I'm working on the GPS usage detection.

Besides this, is there any new feature you want from APK fix?

@Bazoocaze:

dear,

i have this issue since a month ago, Sony kick my guarantee cz i have try unloock bootloader (but now, i have relocking it).

so, if i have battery 0% issue, i should do this :

1. unlock bootloader

2. flash with boot.img.4.0.2.A.0.42.arc.7z

3. install FuelGaugeFixV14.apk while i connect my charger cz of battery 0% issue

4. finish

does my suggestion right?

if right, i will do this now.

sorry if i ask a dump question, but i just to try not to get failure again,

my first failure = get OTA from my unlock bootloader (brick)

my second failure = try to root 2.3.2 with gingerbreak (battery 0%)

thanx b4
[Xperia Arc General] Bazoocaze:
Hi. This are the detailed steps, to avoid failures:

1. unlock booloader

2. you must be same firmware and patch version, so if you aren't firmware 4.0.2.A.0.42, use flashtools to flash the correct firmware. and wipe the data if downgrading firmware version.

3. use fastboot to flash boot.img contained in file boot.img.4.0.2.A.0.42.arc.7z (flash the .img file, not the .7z file :) )

4. now you have a phone showing allways 85% battery capacity

5. install FuelGaugeFixV14.apk

6. for the first time, make sure the charger is plugged, and select "Start full charge" from the apk fix menu (use the menu button to show options). A full charge takes 3h00 ~ 3h40.

7. now you have a fully charged phone, and apk fix updates battery % acordingly to phone usage.

8. finish

Good luck.
[Xperia Arc General] Bazoocaze:
You must be same patch version and firmware version on phone.

So if you aren't, use flashtool to flash the 4.0.2.A.0.42 ftf file to your phone. Wipe the data if downgrading firmware version.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1330314

Now, use fastboot to flash the boot.img file contained in boot.img.4.0.2.A.0.42-arc.7z from this thread.

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Optional:

Update the APKFix to latest version.
[Xperia Arc General] icet925:
After start full charge the phone works great. Thanks.
[Xperia Arc General] Bazoocaze:
In your log I see you have the fuel gauge failure. Sorry.

The only solution is to replace phone using warranty service, or then unlock bootloader and use patched kernel + apk fix.
[Xperia Arc General] Bazoocaze:
Ok, I will work on this, too. :)
[Xperia Arc General] Bazoocaze:
If you are using this workaround and are happy with it, please go to the first post and press the thanks button. :D

[Xperia Arc General] tlh1985:
I always switch on my wifi at home used around 3%.

Maybe you are recharging the phone at the 55%, try doing a full charge. Open fuel.apk. Menu start full charge. See if works.
[Xperia Arc General] darkslayer100:
sory if i late to reply your post.

may i replay this detailed step:

1. i'm unlocking bootloader first.

2. flash into firmware 4.0.2.A.0.42.

3. after flashing. try to enable USB DEBUGGING on our arc while charging

4. shutdown our arc, and try to flashing boot.img with fastboot.exe

but after i flash via fasboot with boot.img , my arc cannot booting. letter "Sony Ericsson" still appeared although i wait for an hour.

am i doing something wrong?
[Xperia Arc General] lungocphu:
I think you should take the 4th step before 3rd step:

1. Unlock bootloader

2. Flash FW0.42

3. FastBoot

4. Restart and install apk

Hi,

I have some trouble with my arc, I installed the steryman's doom patched kernel and I'm using the 1.4 apk because of the 0% battery issue.

Yesterday, I fully charge my phone after having set the "start full charge" option.

The battery has been completely and normally used, the apk indicated 1%.

So then I charge it again one time until 50% then during night until 100% but today my phone shutdown at 63% battery ! My battery is empty.

I think my battery wasn't fully charged because I charge the battery in two times.

Is that right ?
[Xperia Arc General] peacekeeper38:
Hi BAZOOCASE two days ago i installed the 4.0.2.A.0.42 installed also the boot.img for 4.0.2.A.0.42 and the V.1.4 of the APK FIX, and since that day no problem at all!!!!!!!! so far i am using the SE STOCK FW and no problem,

before that i was using the Cyanogen fw but after somedays of using started to give some issues with the battery charge, i know that is not the Cyanogen the problem but me, because i didnt charge the cell for a long period and then decided to change to the FW i mentioned before and so far is working good no problem at all.

---------- Post added at 02:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------

eu estou usando esse kernel [ARC/ARC S]DooMKernel for STOCK ROM patched, a firmware .42 e o apk v14!!
[Xperia Arc General] Bazoocaze:
Olá, amigo.

A nossa solução é baseada em uma estimativa. Talvez você esteja usando alguns recursos que a nossa estimativa não leva em conta ou implementa de uma maneira incorreta. Atualmente eu acho que o que mais pode afetar o cálculo e ainda não está computado na estimativa é o brilho da tela, o GPS, e o uso da CPU / clock.

Além disso, calculei o processo de carga para durar em torno de 3h carregando de um valor abaixo de 20% até 100%. Caso você coloque o celular para carregar com uma porcentagem alta, talvez o marcador chegue em 100% antes da carga estar completa. Então, verifique se você está carregando o celular durante 3 horas.

Quanto ao brilho de tela e GPS, hoje estarei liberando a nova versão que leva em conta estes parâmetros - atualmente a versão 1.4 pressupõe um brilho de tela de 20%, e se você estiver com o brilho em outro ponto, irá distorcer o cálculo (a bateria ficará descarregada antes do tempo estimado).

------

Hello, buddy.

Our solution is based on an estimate. You may be using some features that our estimate does not account for, or implements it incorrectly. Currently I think that what can affect the calculation and is not counted in the estimate is: the brightness of the screen, GPS, and CPU usage / CPU clock.

In addition, I calculated the charging process to last around 3 hours starting from a value below 20%, until reach 100%. If you plug the phone to charge from a high percentage, the marker may reach 100% before the charge is complete. So, make sure you are charging the phone for at least 3 hours.

As for the display brightness and GPS, today I will be releasing a new version that takes into account these parameters - currently version 1.4 is based on a screen brightness of 20%, and if you are with another brightness value, it will distort the calculation (the battery will be discharged before the estimated time).
[Xperia Arc General] Vedita:
o kernel e a firmware que estou usando estão corretos?
[Xperia Arc General] Bazoocaze:
Desculpe, mas eu não tenho como dar suporte ao DoomKernel - somente posso ajudar com o kernel oficial modificado. Além disso, o DoomKernel é conhecidamente sabido que possui um consumo de energia mais alto que o kernel oficial.

Tente trocar uma idéia com as outras pessoas que também estão usando a versão DoomKernel com patch, ou então informe ao steryman sobre o teu problema com o consumo. Além disso, se você tiver feito overclock ou mudado o scheduler, lembre que o consumo de CPU / clock não está influenciando o cálculo do consumo.

-----

Sorry, but I have no way to support DoomKernel - I can only help with the patched stock kernel. In addition, the DoomKernel is notoriously known to have a power usage higher than the official kernel.

Try to talking with other people that are also using the patched DoomKernel version, or tell steryman about your problem with power consumption. Also, if you have made or changed the scheduler / or overclocked, remember that the CPU / clock is not yet influencing the calculation of consumption.
[Xperia Arc General] Bazoocaze:
Tente usar o stock firmware 4.0.2.A.0.42, e o kernel oficial modificado de mesma versão, com o app fix mais recente.

I did a full charge last night but my battery was totaly empty on the morning. :(

I use doom patched kernel. Do I need to use the stock patched kernel, is it more stable ?
[Xperia Arc General] itachi naruto:
yes , you are so great ,
[Xperia Arc General] Bazoocaze:
A lot of peolpe are blaming about battery drain on patched DoomKernel. Along with this, a lot of people are happy with the patched stock kernel, so I recommend you to use patched kernel or asks steryman for a patched DoomKernel without battery drain.
[Xperia Arc General] Bazoocaze:
There is now APK fix version 1.5, with the following added features:

- GPS usage state: apk now monitors GPS usage, and calculates battery drain from GPS radio. I used a reference usage of 200mA/h - this must works all the time. If anyone of you has a most precise value to use, please let me know to update de calculus.

- Screen brightness: updated the battery drain calculus to take in count the brightness settings of the display. I aproximatted the display consumption with a linear variation based on my Arc consumption, and this will be a good precise value for Arc and even for Neo, (I think its around 10% precision).

Just found a bug in v1.5 when putting my Arc to charge.

Please use version v1.5.1 instead.
