Suggestion : please make alfs9 for ics too , because many of us are moving to ics .

Pilu : I tested the kernel and every thing else wifi that you removed work perfect.

And the speed and stability are awesome .

I didn't experince any bug .

Great work.. keep it up...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] SpyderX:
Sorry pilu, didn't have time to test all week :o:o:banghead:. In fact I haven't even downloaded it.

Will test it out when I find time, in particular the KSM feature.

What's the difference between the 2 versions of v8a?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] przemek4113:
One version of alfs 08a is for gingerdx and one is for cm7 roms like minicm by nAa.The version for cm7 roms make djnilse.Third post on first thread.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] fabiosilva:
I mean the "cap" thing
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] przemek4113:
fps cap 60 fps limit the frames per second.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] RoadToNever:
Regarding 60fps cap, based on my experiences on PC I take it the most common usage for a removed cap would be getting higher benchmark scores at the expense of screen tearing. At least for video playback any artifacts related to V-sync are preferable to outright tearing IMO. My 2 cents.

For all those who can't wait, I suggest you try compiling Alfsv9 for yourselves (I did).

Just follow this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1348951 to the letter. Adapt it for Alfs.

2 Tips:

You need a native install of Linux. A live CD won't really work well (I tried and failed).

Ramdisk can be found in Alfsamsung's github, just grab the folder that is appropriate to your ROM or else WiFi won't work.

3rd tip: Read instructions for what to do with Image and ramdisk here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1254525

Good luck with compiling.

Image file size: Roughly 5.1/5.2MB

Ramdisk size: Roughly 2.1MB

Kernel.sin size: roughly 7.4/7.5MB

Ftf file size: 7.5MB (smaller than Alfsv08a)

You need to full wipe after flashing kernel if your phone bootloops.

Don't ask me to distribute it :L :mad: Also don't ask questions on this thread related to this!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Neur0Nerd:
I prefer waiting for the original update, but I'll try to modify it. Thanks SpyderX

Spoiler content hidden.

I did as the guide said but when i try to flash FlashTool spits out this when its about to flash kernel.sin:

09/021/2012 19:21:07 - ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_STATIC="IMAGE_ADDRESS_RANGE";ERR_DYNAMIC="Failed to verify partition info";

Is the size of the ramdisk that much of a problem? I cd'd into the Ramdisk-wlan folder and ran something along the lines of "find . | cpio -ov -H xxx | gzip > ramdisk.gz" (Can't remember the xxx part, someone at #cyanogenmod-dev gave me that command when i asked a proper way to create the ramdisk). It ended up being about double your ramdisk size. Is the command wrong? Did i include extra, unneeded files in the ramdisk? Thanks.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] SpyderX:
If you (or anyone else) face any problems, please post on that thread rather than this thread.

Command is:

find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > ../ramdisk.cpio.gz

Did you use the Alfs-specific ramdisk? Try preparing the ramdisk again.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] alfsamsung:
v09 is finally here :D

The hitachi-lcd bug is still present sometimes I'm afraid, but I hope you can live with it.

Bug:

Sometimes on hitachi-lcd there is screen cut/image-displacement.Hitachi users should not use the no_fps_cap version, because it will make this bug worse.

To fix it: lock and unlock your phone (the screen needs to go off and on again) and it should be gone

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rav3n_pl:
logcat it.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lancemark:
logcat it?? but how??

using adb??
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rav3n_pl:
yes, "adb logcat" and plug phone.

It should show why it is in loop.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lancemark:
logcat stuck on waiting for device.

Maybe i don't have the right driver. Ive tried gordon's gate.

Edit:

after a few restarts and plugs and unplugs the cable the phone go to cmw recovery.

I dont know why, wipe cache don't error with mounting.

after restart phone is still skucking on fxp logo
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] velnens123:
Gordon's Gate drivers are for flashing, you have to download Android USB Drivers.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lancemark:
Tried that driver from you and from other place and can' install that on my win 7 x64. Anyway thanks for finding driver for me.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] velnens123:
Try to install PC Companion, it alredy comes with drivers you need... :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lancemark:
I have modified sa0101usb.inf and now the driver is installing correctly.

But in adb i have:

sbin/sh: exec: line 1: logcat: not found.

i think i'm still doing something wrong.

Edit:

I've reflash the baseband and after that i've reflash the kernel and i can go to cmw recovery now.

Edit 2:

I've tried mounting in recovery and i can mount only scard and sd-ext.

booting android still don't work (stuck at FXP logo).

Edit 3: (maybe the last)

logcat work to me on linuxdx and stock kernel so adb problem is not only for install *.apk

I'm back now to GDX v19 and LDX v 4. Maybe a will try this alf kernel next time when the next version will be released.

Uploading bit cutted out GCR81 to my skydrive, it should be there in about hour or so...

1. full wipe

2. flash kernel

3. boot to CWM

4. install rom

5. reboot and wait.

Added GO launcher as default.

I recommend to install GO keyboard (can`t be pre-instlled, it makes FCs:/)

Google account adding is NOT starting automagically - click on gmail to add account.

No need to checking "overclock", just pick freq.

DO NOT use UV when you OC - random reboots.

Edit: uploaded!

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rycon33:
Is there some sort of a vdd-levels file where we can edit the voltage level for each frequency step. I'd like to have the maximum 768MHz and I think it can be achieved if voltage level is set to a higher value.

BTW, how to disable UV?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] velnens123:
Yes, that should be fine. I can handle max 710 Mhz, but on 729 Mhz phone reboots when playing heavy games. :(

If your on minicm7 I can help :D

X8_v9-cm7_Alfs&djnilse.zip - [Click for QR Code] lets flash this kernel first.

Then once you flash it and take of your usb to boot your phone quickly into CWM recovery mode.

Then flash update-rom-all-AlfsKern.v9+.zip

After that straight after flash LibSensors_patch_for_MiniCM-7.zip

Wipe cache and dalvik and maybe battery so yea

Then your good to go!

Personally im back on 08a cause this version is a bit buggy.

X8_09-GDX_Alfs&Djnilse.rar

update-rom-all-AlfsKern.v9+.zip

Put update rom and gdx on ur sd card.

FIrst of all wipe everything back up everything up.

Second u turn of ur phone and flash the kernel first.

Then after that flash gdx v028 then the update rom all alfs kern.

Wipe everything again to re assure your apps will be working.

Your good to WORKING

Neocore fps for 600mhz used to be 56.5. Went down to 52.3.

OC to 748 was 69 fps and with this kernel its 61

I'm not going to go in depth or use this as a tool to say this kernel is crap

cause alfs kernel is the best and if I did base a kernel like this some people like chrisx would get a bit annoyed like alway if I said this so I decided to test on a game and fruit ninja was having mini lagg spikes as opposed to 08a which was smooth.

Alfs kernel best

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] nilse:
fps shouldnt be over 60 in generall, if you using cm7 version, some values were turned down to not let the screen deplacement come to often

---------- Post added at 01:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 PM ----------

if you're using gdx version and the one with FPS CAP OFF , then you'll get screencuts which wont go away with turning off the display, but just with restarting the device

---------- Post added at 01:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 PM ----------

yeah it is enabled so you'll get lower values

now for everyone

the cm7 version has fps cap enabled, so its you will get no fps over 61 and the 2d and 3d scores could be less, but since the kgsl update everything should be much smoother !
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] vivekbalan:
Thanks djnilse, now I understood the point.

I have never faced screen cuts with alfs v08a cm7 where NO FPS CAP and I have Toshiba screen.

So it would be very useful for users like me (with Toshiba screen) if you can provide alfs v09 cm7 with NO FPS CAP.

We would like to get high 2D and 3 performance too with new alfs cm7 kernel :) Thanks.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CKKnot:
If you read the scattered forum etc.... you'll find that the very early overclock source are from The Great doixanh.......

OC 691, Voltage not enough => Unstable...

Same apply on PC CPU....

Alfs, nAa => Based on overclock source from The Great doixanh......

I know it cause i attempted to built a kernel :p

Correct me if i'm mistaken :o

Okay, I have Fresh Installed my rom and configuring hw_config.sh to my liking. (Use noop instead of sio because of less cpu utilization ;))

Removed app2sd script on system/etc/init.d as Alfs instructed & use link2sd instead. (I use ext2 because of less i/o)

Have your overclock set other than 691Mhz to prevent serious screen disorganization (smartassv2 will also do the trick in some claim).

Now i'm going to restore all my setting & give it an Antutu :o
