Yes, when switching rom, need to go back to stock kernel first. On flashtool, just do flash stock kernel, immediately followed by flashing your desired kernel.

Then turn on phone and install desired rom.

The above post will do the trick also.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Amrooz:
i can install the same Roms without any editing on the same kernel but older versions

Someone know how to get WIFI working on MiniCM7 with this kernel?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] darkfrmr:
uuhm did i miss something lately? is cypress driver already fixed? i remember that it was difficult to pull up the notification bar and also touchscreen's right side was not sensitive.

by the way im not talking about synaptic, i know it works flawlessly...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] csoresz2:
guys, whats better with this kernel? GC 8.4 or GDX v20?

I have GC now, but thinking on GDX again...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] darkfrmr:
just flashed alfskernel and gingerdx and the bug that im talking about is present...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] darkfrmr:
last version, v20.

i think the problem resides in kernel, specifically in cypress driver, if you have cypress digitizer then you should see this bug with multitouch visualizer.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] csoresz2:
charging my phone, flashing it with GDX soon. :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] csoresz2:
ummm just realized GDX doesnt have OC, even alfs kernel have it.

how to add OC to CM settings?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] csoresz2:
aha. ok. flashing GC8.4 :D:D:D:D loool
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Graveir:
Erm... I have GDX v019 and Alf's kernel v04 and I do have overclocking settings in CM settings. Be sure what you're posting, please :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] norbula2008:
+1 sure there is in cm setings oc up too 787
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] alfsamsung:
Version 5 is here:)

Thanks darkfrmr for stepping up and helping.Great work:)

Note

The update-rom-chargemon+vold-AlfsKernel.zip is verry important to install.System will get unstable if you don't install this.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] DeFcOn:
Can't wait to test it!!!! Thank you alfsamsung and darkfrmr!!!

---------- Post added at 10:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 AM ----------

why you add fps cap? Now i have only 40 fps in fps2d and 40 in neocore:(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Graveir:
Screw benchmarks - if the user experience stayed the same or improved, it's for the better. Films you watch since your early childhood are in 33FPS, do you notice any lags?:rolleyes:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asycid:
Then now with v05, I think the kernel is complete. I'll test it at afternoon.

Other:

Can someone help me? I had a strange problem. I installed GDX v020, and the phone got slowdowns. I mean if I turn on the phone everything is fast and OK, but after some time (e.g. 5-10 mins of use) it slows down really, then it will hang. No kernel panic, no reboot, just hangs. Its an empty rom, so nothing 3rd party has been intalled, I did full wipe. Now the strangest part: I went back to v019, did full wipe, but the problem stays. Before I updated v019 to v020 everything was fast and perfect. I'll try SEUS later on the day, but if it will not help, I don't know what to do.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Graveir:
Usually reflashing all the stock things (and maybe also locking and reunclocking bootloader) helps with such issues...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] alfsamsung:
If you are on this kernel,you need to install the chargemon update (now update-rom-chargemon+vold-AlfsKernel.zip ) after changing or updating rom.If not the system process can go bananas.I see alot of people don't bother to download this.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] norbula2008:

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ithunter:
after fresh gdx install and full wipe :(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] csoresz2:
because of fps cap? you got lower points at 2d testing..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] norbula2008:
yes you need instal rom update + vold this in first post
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] haker007:
Yeah, 2D score is lower, and you can feel it when scroling. It's not soo smooth as it was with version 4.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] phoenix883:
i've tested this evening and everything seems to be fine. for benchmark, im agree that we have to sacrifice a little bit for the smoothness of our shakira, well that's fine with me. to alfsamsung, THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT KERNEL YOU MADE, adigato gozaimasu. SALUTE :0

---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 PM ----------

One noob question, can we set our fps at 60 like an option for overclock?, sory im noober but playing games was much more smoother with v4, i just noticed that when i played baseball superstar 2
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Dare-Devil Inside:
I know v5 is out but I just had the strangest bug EVER on v4w/ chargemon:

Ok, my battery gone to 0% last night and I put phone on charge at midnight... first 15mins offline charging, than I went to bed and turned phone on, used it a while and than gone to sleep...

I left my phone charging...

I woke up(20mins ago) battery was 100% and I removed charger... 15mins later battery was 86% ... 2mins later battery was 15 percent... 1 min after that battery was 3% than phone shut down...

Now its ****ing chrging again....

ok... wtf happend? :(

GDXv19
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Amrooz:
here is my test with alfs kernel v4 / v5 Quadrant tests for V5 kernel only on 600 MHz and 787 MHz those for v4 kernel
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rav3n_pl:
I think second compilation of v5 w/o fps cap is very good idea :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] velnens123:
I'm staying with Alfs v04 for now, because fps cap sucks! :(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] mcpaddington:
I had this bug too with the same kernel, I later found out that for some reason it made my phones processer run at full speed. The non-chargemon version works fine.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Dare-Devil Inside:
Oh, and v05 is with chargemon only...?

Anyway... I'm going to FroyoPro... and I will sell my phone anyway :p
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Graveir:
I had slightly milder issues on various versions of this kernel, and I always solve it in the same way - wipe battery stats after each charging :)

Force To Close or Wait | Still Learning

Hello there. i already use this alfs v04 kernel + gingerdx v020 + Xtweaks (init.d tweaks) for 1 week. It preety good match :D:D:D

1. One small problem that i have is, when i reboot, or open application it keep shows message [FORCE CLOSE]|[WAIT]. :confused:

Solution : I apply V6 supercharger script to solve this FORCE CLOSE(FC) message.

2. When I want to install this HD Game http://andropalace.blogspot.com/2011/11/extreme-formula-3d-on-hvga320x480-and.html . I cant finish install it, then my phone reboot. :(

for info my phone is set overclock at max 729ghz. min 210ghz.

before i flash this kernel, there is no (FC) message appears.

my friend also have the same spec, but he can install those game and play others HD games (when kill the V6 supercharger script)

Are there any tips or solution to solve two questions above?

THANKS A LOT TO ALFS CREATE THIS SUPER KERNEL :D

THANKS A LOT TOO, TO ANYONE HERE THAT GIVE ME TIPS@SOLUTION :D

SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH :p THANKS.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dzadzev:
We want uncapped kernel ...

Just because of only 2 users that requested capped fps and they said that there was a screen tearing now we all have this.

There was nothing wrong with uncapped fps in previous versions ... really, no screen tearing at all for me, and for most of the users ... it was much more smoother I think ...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Amrooz:
i know it's the same phones but not all phones are stable on same CPU frequencies. For example my phone is so stable on 787 MHz running for days some others phone reboot at this clock

try to install at 600 MHz and see then overclock to lower than 729
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] alfsamsung:
That's because you did not install the update file.If you don't install this system will hang and cpu goes crazy.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dmcb123:
is it possible to cap fps at 78 or 80 instead of 60? that should improve performance while keeping it stable
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ithunter:
add more answer to poll

fix some hight PS like exact 60 or 70 :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Dare-Devil Inside:
We got the similiar bug... but I'm sure I installed it...

Anyways, going to try GDX v20 and v05 of kernel..

I hope fps cap is stable... is fps dropping below 60?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ithunter:
agree!!!!!!3 yes may this is better for us :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] phoenix883:
i hope v6 we can have our option to control fps (is this possible, i just want to know) because we have 181mb ram for v5
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ithunter:
confused

is their problem with app2sd script

devs TIPS on first page -don't use app2sd script(system/etc/init.d/10apps2sd) when using sd-ext.My phone gets useless with dalvik cache on sd, and I have a class 6 card.Use link2sd instead to free up space, and keep apps you often use on phone.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] akaSk8krew:
+1 i don't have this problem too
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ohboi:
+1.

Remove fps cap or change it to 60.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asycid:
I voted not to remove the FPS cap, because if you check on FPS2D, the stdev is much smaller than the uncapped, what means the moves are far more smoother if FPS cap is on. Slower, but smoother. BUT I think the 40FPS cap is too low, I suggest to make the cap to 60 FPS (like in the original 2.1 ROM). This will be the best for all because I think people hardly get 60+ frame/sec in any 3D apps (with uncapped FPS), so they'll got what they want and the other people who wants to stay capped will get what they want too.

So to be more simple:

X8 can't squeeze 60+ FPS out of itself in any Benchmarks even without FPS cap, so with FPS capped to 60 will NOT lower your benchmarking scores, but makes the movements in the menus far more smoother and continuous.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] phoenix883:
same with me too, if we cap, what's the different between alfs kernel and nAa kernel, almost the same thing, people love this kernel because it goes much faster, battery drain - really?? i dont care...as long as i can prove this kernel is better, than why not?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] alfsamsung:
Ok....made v05 without fps cap
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dimitrisioa:
I gave it a try for the first time to unlock the bootloader i didnt have any kernel in my mind so randomly i flashed Alfs , i was afraid at the beggining but the procedure to unlock ιτ was easy and succesfull.After some hours of use i have to admit that overclock at 768 is still reachable , performace is better but i cant tell some more because i didnt full test it. Thanks to Alfs for this new start he worths it!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] bbeanss:
It isnt the same as froyo in the way of multitasking, but it comes very close to it, must say that i personally havent had a faster, smoother or more reliable kernel/rom combomation to date :)

error mounting cache

I installed GDX019 on stock kernel, then I flashed Alfs with success.

Entering fxp recovery, it suddenly shows me that it can't found (and mount) "cache" partition. I see also that it can only mount /sdcard, any other partition returns error.

If I let the phone boot, it remains stuck at FXP logo (obviously I think).

I performed all the other steps for installation (vold, wipe cache) -> error.

Tried to reflash the stock kernel, everything ok again.

Am I missing something?

Tnx 4 your help!

Try kill wifi drivers or copy them from GDX.

Wifi is included in kernel afik, so external drivers can make some mess.

I hope this is correct order to flash things from GDX v19 and Alf v04w/chargemon

to GDX v20 and Alfs v05 with fps cap.

I will test fps cap now.

I did this:

0. Charged my batt to 100% (again) -.-

1. Reboot

2. Wipe battery stats/cache

3. Flash GDX v20

4. Flash vold/chargemon update

5. Wipe cache

6. Power off

7. Flash kernel v05

8. Reboot to recovery and wipe cache/dalvik cache

9. Reboot to ROM -

10. it's booted and the result of fps cap are:

The phone just feels smoother, like everthing is right from the shop. No lags, every scrolling is at equal speed. Games also run smoother.

Don't care about fu**ing benchmark!!!

FPS is 57 on avg.

Very nice. Thank you alfasamsung.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rycon33:
I also feel this capped FPS version5 is smoother and more fluid in scrolling,browsing,etc. I don't rely on benchmark either, I rely on actual personal feel.

OK. I reinstalled GDX v019 on alfs v04 installed vold, chargemon, and FP fix

I logged in with my gmail account and installed skype from market.

I made a log of making skype calls until reboot. it's the one with "v04 v019" in file name.

then I flashed new kernel v05, new ROM GDX v020, new vold and chargemon fix.

I logged in my gmail account, installed skype from market and tested again.

It still reboots. I mad 3 logs, just in case.

I think second one includes first one because i made them one after another. and the third one is shorter because I forgot to change screen buffer height.

these 3 logs have "v05 v020" in their names.

I forgot to mention I did full wipe each time. and I set up wifi connection.

I'm not pushing anything here. I can live without skype on my phone. I'm just trying to help because it would be nice to fix this problem, that seems to be the only bug on this great kernel/ROM combination.

I unchecked every check box related to locations (meaning I did not allow using my location), asked on initial setup, and mock locations are unchecked also.

I really hope it's the application problem, but it first started rebooting after I flashed alfs kernel, and everything else stayed as it was before.

I used "barnacle wifi tether" with alfs v04 and GDX v019 and it worked. I had to reboot phone sometimes, to make it work, but basically it worked.

Did anybody test USB OTG? does it work? how can I test it?

-flash

-wipe caches

-reinstall of GDX or not?

thx

Where does in installation instruction in the first post it say that you should reinstall anything? NOWHERE. It says, however, that you should install vold and chargamon update. Read before you ask.

Please alf add overvolt because my phone cant handle high frequency for example on 729 mhz when battery gets low it restart it self because it cant suck more power.

Is it even possible? It did not follow the news, has the solution for overvolting been found? Because upon creating OC module, doixanh claimed overvolting impossible due to ARMv6 architecture limitations...

This is way fps cap is better.... but you guys just don't understand, you're like kids competing who have higher score on benchmarks... just ridiculous.

Overall feeling of the rom is better cuz its smoother...

But, yeah.. benchmark scores are more important ....

It's on 60... from the screeenie I see you got some lags... try to wipe cache/dalvik cache... if its not helping try to fullwipe.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, my benchmark score is not so low compared to uncapped version just ~100 points of difference in 2D/3D ...

It would be nice if further releases are both capped and uncapped... so everyone is happy!

+no lags with fps cap!
