Well basically sweetie if your reading it should be ALFGDX as GDX stands for GingerDX :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] fanaticprakash:
So can I use this??

X8_08-GDX_Alfs&Djnils.rar
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] deedii:
As long as you see GDX yes its pretty safe. There are only 2 version for GDX and for CM7.

@rohin. Alf is not the only one working on this kernel. Dont forget djnilse :)

I guess it will be up again once GDX also updates the ROM :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] fanaticprakash:
Guys what are the difference between these kernels?

X8_08a-GDX-no_fps_cap_Alfs&Djnilse.rar.

and

X8_08a-GDX_Alfs&Djnilse.rar :rolleyes:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asycid:
@fanaticprakash:

Exactly what the name says... FPS capped version has the maximum frame per sec. locked, what means it will prevent screen tearing (I mean it has some vsync-like thing), but is not that smooth, but try out both of them, and select as your taste.

EDIT: oh, I forgot to mention that the screen off/ screen on TV effect is a littlebit too fast on the uncapped version, but as I said try out both of them. It will consume maximum 5 mins to try them out both...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] fanaticprakash:
@Asycid that was really helpful thanks man :)

Full wipe, re flash the kernel
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Dexter_prog:
Hey, I just moved to this kernel and I'm a bit confused about all the versions and fixes. I flashed X8_v08a-cm7_Alfs&djnilse

Do I have to flash any of the following?:

- LibSensors_patch_for_MiniCM-7

- update-rom-chargemon+vold++AlfsKern.v2

- adrenolibs

I'm using Minicm7
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] nilse:

the andreno libs are included in minicm7

GOOD LUCK :D

Hi devs!

I'm trying use this ROM: [ROM]MIUI Gingerbread/Alfs/nAa and X8_v08a-cm7_Alfs&djnilse kernel.

Can you help to choose the addons?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] soxfor:
v09 coming soon? :)

edit:

No, I'm not asking for any kind of ETA.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Godra:
Well, obviously yes ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Dexter_prog:
I decided to give gingerDX a go. I'm using X8_v08a-cm7_Alfs&djnilse.zip should I move any of the ones listed in the first post that have "gingerDX" as a part of their name?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] darkfrmr:
yes, otherwise wifi will not work
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Dexter_prog:
Ok, and what about the other zips:

- update-GingerDX-Alfs-addon

- update-ICSified-Settings

- adrenolibs?

- update-rom-chargemon+vold++AlfsKern.v2
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sandy_tea:
Since you are using gdx, you need to apply neither the vold chargemon v2 nor adreno libs.zip since those two has already been included in update GDX addon..but make sure you apply GDX Addon v5 if you are using GDX v26..as for ICSified Settings.apk, you don't need to apply it if you don't want to use ICS style settings menu..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Dexter_prog:
For some reason the gingerdx kernel together with GingerDX produced constant loss of signal. I'm not sure if it was caused by the kernel alone or by the rom.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sandy_tea:
Which signal do u mean?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Dexter_prog:
The phone's signal, the one you use for SMS/calls and also affects mobile networks.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] neo_na:
Hey, I've got a small doubt. Wondering if someone could clear it up. Lets say I did a full wipe on my phone, and then restored an old back up. Do I still have to flash the Alfs addons again???? (I took this back up when I was using alfs kernel with the addons flashed)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] kakho55:
Oh my God... who can give me clear how to install alf cm7 kernel? ??

Now on minicm7 with Naa kernel.

Extract the files then flash it, it always give kernel failed ....

Please give some tutorial. And step.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sandy_tea:
Yes u do..flash the addon first then restore data..

Re-download the kernel again..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] bobgeneric:
To install the Alfs kernel, is same way that you install the nAa kernel.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Lloir:
use the v5 kernel im getting the same problem with most recent version (and yes i know how to install a kernel etc etc)

here's the error if anyone is interested

sorry for my bad English..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] kakho55:
try redownload the kernel.. same also...

T.T... (cm7 alf kernel)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] bobgeneric:
It is a comunication problem between device and PC.

Go: System Settings\Applications\Development | check box: "Android debugging"; reinstall the SEMC USB FLASH driver for x8 and check if your PC mounted the phone memory.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] kakho55:
ok... alf version 08/07 is ok....

only alf for cm7 is not ok...

when flashtool running, at last , it display kernel.sin failed.

... using flashtool v 0.2.9.1............

naa and other is flash complete.. alf cm7 failed... so sad....

-edit-

i download on the 3rd post link attachment...

then extract it , take the ftf files put to flashtool / firmware files...

then turn off phone..

choose flash, pick the alf cm7-08a, and flash....

finally, failed...

now turn to naa kernel again..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] AckeflyRyzle:
make sure you have mark the usb debugging . . or you have to SuperClean in CWM . .
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] kakho55:
yup, i have debug n clean cwm.... if not why can flash other kernel.

^_^

only cm7 alf cant... haihz...

nvm ... i try reflash stock rom and stock kernel ... then flash again...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] AckeflyRyzle:
the bug coming . . dont give up :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] kakho55:
Haihz.... I got no point ady...

No comments ......

GIVE UP!!!

thanks for help guys....

Gonna busy for work .....
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] nilse:
this is REALLY weird, like you already heard it's not a problem with the kernel, it has to do something with your phone or flashtool

you could try another version not alfs-cm7-v8a, but the one before

update flashtool, its waay more advanced now, maybe that will solve the error
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] kakho55:
yup,djnilse...

i thing i will make it ....

cheer...

anyway thank for awesome kernel ~~ i really wana taste it.... keep it up for update ya...

I update flash tool to v.0.7.1 the problem is same.... please what's wrong? :'(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] kakho55:

the driver..did you install the driver for x8??
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sandy_tea:
If u have tried other kernel and it did work, I'm positively sure it caused by the downloaded kernel fault...that's why I suggested u to redownload it again..try to download from other network or wifi if possible..coz lots of people been using it so it must be from your side..as I said try using other wifi or other network data..as for me I never have problem downloading it with either mobile data or wifi..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] kakho55:
hmm... try download many time .... thanks for answere.... appreciate...~~^_^
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] bombaybadboy:
download the correct zip file flashtool, make sure you hit gordons gate, then dont activate it untill your ready to flash alfs kernel, that always works for me. also i have heard that pc companion can interfere with flash. if you have tried all this already then i dont no why not working

hit thanks if any of this helped at all lol
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asycid:
Now I know why B. Jay said that alfsv09 kernel will come... So I checked your github some days ago, and if i'm not mistaken you work on something related ro ICS. And now, when IScreamDX has come, it become clear that we'll have two choices for ICS kernel: your future planned ICS kernel, or nAa kernel. Am I right? :)

gordon driver or what? :o
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
@fenixcro: I manage a specialised version of this kernel, and some members reported similar issues. Try this method: flash my kernel v3, if sucessfull try flash my kernel v4b (kernels found in my signature). If you cant flash my v4b kernel, the problem is the too big kernel, need use compressed image, or downgrade the recovery to 5.0.2.7 (in latest alfs version have two recovery, one for cypress and one for synaptics). Maybe later I will compile the kernel with compressed image and send it for testing. As I see this problem appear on a small group of x8 owners (only 1-2%).
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] fenixcro:
same like other posts :S
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
Okay, I will build a smaller kernel (without touch recovery), I hope this solve your problem.

i love alfs kernel,but less and less roms support alfs,like iXperia.and why cant devs agree at making roms only for one alfs,not gdx-gdx alfs,LEWA os-gdx alfs,MIUI GB-cm7 alfs.i mean,seriously!?!?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] przemek4113:

v9?great,love the idea.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
yes there is a v9 test image file at his github

@alfsamsung remember me the crazy guy who wanted to compile an ICS kernel for paul-xxx's CM9 rom...well now i have one of my own (based on nAa's sources). anyways what i wanted to ask was do you compile the recovery with a CM build or do you have some other method of compiling it? please answer me i'm thinking of porting TWRP 2.0. any help is appreciated. thanks in advance
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] nilse:
the recovery is compiled with a normal cm tree, the recovery sources are in bootable/recovery

and read, there is no v09 test image, but a v08 test image

Image-X8_08-test9-ICS_Alfs <--- test9 for v08
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Zbaraszek:
Are you from 1990 ? Today, we've got GDX v027 and Alfs GDX V08a (v09 coming soon), so update first and then i will talk

oops..my bad. and about the recovery, i guess i'll just have to wait for someone else to achieve this miracle. thanks for the info though.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Ash78663:
The Touch Recovery is Most Appreciated

Thank you...!!!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
the v09 kernel will be similar to nAa's ics kernel, right? if so, will the touch recovery be included? and can we port it to other kernels, such as the custom one i compiled?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lohtse:
do we still need to apply tether fix for v08?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
@souljaboy11792: no, alfs9 not similar to naa-ics kernel. I not examined yet this kernel how working with ics, only tested with gb. Alfamsung made a very good work, really big upgrade in ram and cpu speed. :) Tested with antutu 2.8.2, first results: ram and cpu integer point increased with 25-30% (yes, not point, percent :D) and cpu float increased with 40% compared to alfs8a with same rom and settings. ;)

Edit: the recovery is kernel independent, so you can use djnilse touch recovery with all kernel.

thanks pilu1978,

porting recovery is pretty much as simple as copying the "recovery" file from kernel-1's ramdisk to kernel-2's ramdisk, right?

thanks in advance
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
Yes, with normal recovery this is working, but the touch recovery have separated versions for cypress and synaptic screen, need a check while booting. You can check the touchscreen type in /sys/devices/virtual/input/input0 (as I remember, I'm not sure this is a correct path :D but you can verify it in the original alfs8 ramdisk in /sbin/bootrec file)

one last thing. will it work with ICS kernels based on nAa's sources because i am basing mine on his sources? i'll just take the recovery file and add it to the ramdisk right?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
I dont know. I builded it from test branch, the ram and cpu get a big performance boost, ksm is working. Now use it since 2 day, seems stable, but I'm not a hardcore phone user, only phone, sms, gmail, xda and trillian running on my phone, no oc, no games. ;)

Edit:

@souljaboy: yes, you can change the recovery between ics and gb kernels. The recovery is a native arm binary, not depends on android version.

alfsamsung did a great work and updated the kgsl drivers

no the kernel is soooooo smooth, its just awesome :D

about this diplay error

there are now 2 possibilities

releasing with the bug

if the bug appears simply turn your screen off and then on again, that will fix it

or trying to fix it, but we already tried a lot (mostly alfsasmung coding and me testing, since i have hitachi)

so it is at your decision, want a faster newer kernel or wait until we fix it ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] levus95:
Release it becouse we can report other bugs (if it has) and you guys can release a fullfixed version..

Just my opinion... :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] SpyderX:
Release it -- minor bug. I'm being selfish here :o but I can't wait.

Release it: Many are happy, some are upset at bug

Don't release it: Everyone is unhappy

Honestly i had it on my phone 2 days and have hitachi screen but didnt face any problems. :O

I think better if not release yet. :) I also working on the "hitachi problem", but if the v9 released with this bug, maybe some stupid member will be a troll, and write a lot of trash into this thread.
