Because I respect the FXP team a lot,and the fact that this kernel is based on their great work.I will NOT change the logo.I hope you can stop asking for this now:D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] snake228:
I simply told, and how do your thing:)

---------- Post added at 12:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 AM ----------

still don't think releasing the next version of the kernel ??
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] kulen:
This did the trick. Thank you
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] joe200:
I create 3 partition, fat32, ext3 and swap...

then go to cwm wipe cache and it worked using the /dev/block/vold/179:3

have tried this on linuxdx.. not working.. only work on naa and alfs kernel.

use minitool partition wizard home edition (the best thing about this tool is I don't have to lose my data on the sdcard - great!)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asycid:
a small request (really small, I swear)

Please alfasamsung, can you make the OC in kernel work on some values under 700Mhz? If it would be a module, it will not be a problem (I'll modify it), but I just can't mess with the kernel you wrote. So please if you have some minutes, can you write this 5-10 lines into the kernel? Thank you.

(I ask this because some phones can't go on 729Mhz, but could make it on 6xx frequencies)

Is there any way to access xRecovery whilst using this Kernel? When I try it only brings up FXP recovery but I need xRecovery aswell to flash Sense Rom
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Godra:
This kernel only have CWM. To flash Sense ROM you have to flash stock kernel and install xRecovery.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] match_stick:
when i flash back to stock kernel it bootloops at SE logo?? any help?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] milenkokg:
When boot phone,on SE logo,press back key and do full wipe and flesh sense rom
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] match_stick:
doesnt work...just sticks on logo.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Godra:
Have you flashed it with SEUS or flashtool?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] match_stick:
flashtool...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] milenkokg:
Use seus or pcc and problem solved
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Dare-Devil Inside:
Report: Alfsv4 (w/o chrgmn) on latest GCR - USB mount don't work.

Perfomrance is blast.

P.S: If on this kernel, it's real pain in the ass to install xRec roms... that should be solved by creting xrec for this kernel to have dual mode.. id possible
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] lwkkazz:
have u flashed the vold update?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Dare-Devil Inside:
I thought it's only compatabile with GDx... thanks I'll do that

does wifi and 3g work? if not does it work on linuxdx
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] luki2411:
3g work for sure with gdx
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asycid:
Wifi has a little bug for me: if I turn on wifi, it won't connect to my previously remembered, but hidden network. I have to click to "refresh" in the wi-fi connections menu. It's a really minor bug. (with GDX v20.)

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] wilbso:
So it's alfs kernel that has this bug? I am running linuxdx with gingerdx v021.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] velnens123:
I need to know some things... Is Alfs v04 faster than v05? :) Thx, before!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] luki2411:
for me fastest is vo3
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Godra:
@alfasamsung Could you add some kind of daemon like in some other kernels for other devices I have seen to downclock CPU while screen is idle and keep at normal selected clock when screen on? It could preserve some battery.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] luki2411:
for that you hawe governors they do things what you want try smartas v2
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] <Twinsen>:
Is there any confirmed solution to the wifi issue with alfs kernel and GCR 8.5? I've tried switching to naa 8 kernel, but I find the overall experience much better with alfs. Also, is this kernel still being developed or is it considered to be finalized?

Thank you.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] UAL4588:
For some weird reason I cannot comprehend after flashing v05 it downgraded me to 019. I didn't see how in the world the kernal file could be big enough to include a system but that's what happened... Anyone bumped into similar conditions?

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asycid:
Rename the vold file to "update" or install through NOT the "install update.zip", but with the other selection.(ATM I just don't remember what the other menu's exact name)

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] belacker:
u must update using built in cwm recovery(with blue selection) not orange one.. by pressing volume up repeatly when booted.. :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] denniz05:
Hi thank you for answer i used the cwm recovery(with blue selection) but i would install but this did the trick pressing volume up repeatly when booted..i used the back button before so thank you now every thing works:D i pressed you thanks button :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Xmaster8:
wow i have 1 question!

how is it possible that with alfs kernel v05 i have OC procesor to 768Mhz but with stock or nAa 08 i get reboots at 748Mhz? i heard that the max OC speed depends on chipset (some are better some aren t).

so i m wondering how is this possible?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] belacker:
+1 same with me.. i guess it depend on kernel maybe.. by the way, which rom did u use?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] akaSk8krew:
i test this kernel with ext4 and he don't recognize the partition and neither in cwm he don't format the ext 4 because he don't recognize this partition..with ext2\3, in cwm he format the partition, he recognize this partitions..but when i boot, the device don't recognize ext 2 or 3, i test everything..and i keep testing everything because this kernel have the best performance, for sure..for me swap also don't work too..much people have mounting problems with ext and swap. this kernel it's the best kernel for our X8!

@so alfsamsung: I'm not trying to force you to do anything or anything that looks like but:

please, can you fix this problems in your kernel? i'm sorry something, it's just a question ok?

sorry my bad english

Wheel in the air. thanks

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] scorpion 21:
Thanks for update. I have noob question sorry. What meaning that no_fps_cap ?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Vytenisx8:
no fps limit
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] egycorbel:
Thank you for the great kernel

I want to know the benefits of

-updated to kernel version 2.6.29.6

?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] wielku:
omg update awesome ive installed it already and it is great thanks

but anyway my question is what is the difference between 2.6.29 and 2.6.29.6?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Graveir:
It's nice to see that, contrary to my beliefs, you haven't forsaken this project :)

If I might suggest anything for a future release - nobodyAtall has implemented two-way call recording in his kernel, a nice feature that many android devices lack... ;)

And once again, many thanks for your work!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] naim.kamiya:
it release~~~~~~~~~~
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] mikey000:
wow...finally v06 !! huge thanks man! keep it up!!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] UAL4588:
It means that when you put the phone to sleep instead of setting CPU to 256MHZ, it goes to 128MHZ, conserves battery.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] acegrace:
Did someone try this with GingerCruzt v8.5? It's way too laggy with the nAa kernel.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] AbirXtreme:
Well the new update seems great soo far

Faster Boot

Better Scrolling

Good job :cool:

---------- Post added at 08:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 AM ----------

No it does not work with GC 8.5
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] acegrace:
Thanks for the info... Now I have the reason to stick with the GCR v8.4!

It is indeed compatible with it.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] milenkokg:
this is rom problem no kernel...gc 8.5 is based on mini sm nightles,but frogy do bad job with last rom..you will get wifi error
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rav3n_pl:
See my skydrive. I made GCR 8.4 that look like 8.5 (copied framework, apps and offline charge screens). Also cut out lot of stuff so it may not be good for every1 (ie manga wallpappers). It is for Alfs kernel.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Cacobronx:
if i install v06 of kernel am i still have cwm recovery 5.0.2.7 on my phone, or v 06 come with older version of cwm?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] hoxz:
v06, still error when mounting ext4 on me

EDIT:solved after once reboot
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Lander00:
Great work. Working better than v05 :)

Edit:

1936 point in AnTuTu Benchmark.

On v05 I get 1640

Thanks!

I have better performance in games in version 3 . v5 and v6 have worse scores of graphics on my x8. Why?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] junghyun01:
why u say this?for me v6 very best
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] corsav6:
Very nice kernel. I have a quick question, I'm using kuyadroid so do I need to remove the contents of the system/lib/modules folder because all are built into kernel. Also what about recovery? Should I remove the roms built in dual recovery because cwm is in kernel. Sorry if this is covered before, I'm usually on mobile app and its a task to search.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] akaSk8krew:

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] kulen:
alfsamsung, thank you for the great kernel and great support!

I agree.

don't get me wrong. I'm more than happy with what you gave us.

It's just a suggestion if you're planning to do some improvements in this kernel, and you're not sure what it should be.

anyhow, thanks again.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] junghyun01:
lolxxx...it depend on my hand testing :D if it smooth or not i know

Thanks me i will Thanks to you back :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] alfsamsung:
Suggestions are welcome, demands not:D

I will try to add the 2-way call recording.Can anyone suggest a good free app for this?

Today it was confirmed that cypress touch-screen is workin on ICS with v06:)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] snake228:
alfsamsung,

you compile the kernel version 2.6.29.6, 2.6.32 version will be?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] kulen:
this one was working with original kernel/ROM.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.schass.recording.call

but if I remember correct none of the others I tried worked.

so, I'm not sure it's right one to go with, cause it was built specially for stock Xperia phones

I also tried this and different free and trial apps from market, with custom ROMs and kernels, but none worked.

I guess any generic call recorder from market should work.

on naa's kernel thread somebody suggested rVoix so it would probably be a good solution.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] velnens123:
I flashed this kernel... It was so nice and smooth. So I used OC - 729. That's the minimal OC? My phone can't handle that much! It reboots rarely! With OC module, my phone was stable at 710MhZ. So please alfsamsung, add lower freq. :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asycid:
I really appreciate your help.

Checked the sh file, it appers to have the "sh" file is in /system/bin and in /sbin too. So I don't know what could the problem. Maybe the phone don't mount the correct path?

EDIT:

Ohh, ok, at secon read I understand what you wrote about relying :D

BUT, I don't know what to do. I tried to mount --bind command the sbin to /system/bin (/sh too) and reverse, but it says: "invalid argument" or "not a directory"

I'm now digging google, hoping anything comes up, but if you can help me, I'll be happy. Thank in advance.

I flashed this kernel over LinuxDX 004 and GingerDX 019 and installed the vold update. But I am having some charging problems. There is sudden fluctuation in battery available. Sometimes it shows 59% and after a minute or two it was showing 23%. Tried rebooting and wiped the battery stats and cache but the battery is getting eaten up by something. Also I noticed stutters in simple games like doodle jump. Didn't have that problem with the previous kernel.

I have E15i with cypress digitizer.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Superuser.Angga:
Did you update VOLD

Here

after i read all your post i understand what your problem

1.did you update your VOLD?

2.did you enable usb debug?

3.did you mount your sdcard "dont mount it"

4.did you experience /sbin /cache /sdcard mount error?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] vientito:
check this:

https://github.com/andreasgal/B2G/issues/30
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asycid:
1: Yup, updated and deleted cache after it.

2: Yup

3: I don't connect phone in data transfer mode to my pc, if you mean that. (BTW the installing through ADB was worked until I updated to GDX19 [from GDX 18] and to Alfs kernel [from LDX v003])

4: I don't know, that is what I want to know :) So again, I try to clarify my problem:

After I updated the kernel from LDX v003 to this kernel, I updated rom from GDX 18 to GDX 19 (yes, I made a full wipe!). Then I updated VOLD. After this the phone works as it should, but when I try to install .apk-s from PC through ADB.EXE (I type in cmd: "adb.exe istall [place of the apk on PC]), I get this error, and I don't know why:

"717KB/s (22932 bytes in 0.031s)

/sbin/sh: pm: not found"

I don't have any SDCARD mount problem, everything ok with it. I can install .apks that are stored on the memory card or from Market, but just can't get adb.exe to install apps through it.

Have you got any idea what is going on?

Thanks in advance.

@vientito:

Yes, I found this article too, and I tried this method, but it doesn't work either.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Atish91:

anybody knows what can i do to make 3D game smoother with this kernel?

copy lib or modules maybe? but i dunno wich one ;p
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Primark:
Working without using the vold update

tried this with ginderdx v008 and I did not bother to use the vold update, and this is what I noticed...

* faster than stock kernel, that's for sure I'd say roughly 10-15% improvement

* faster and more responsive in games, though I notice a slight degradation in image quality in dragon fly, not even sure why, but it has become more responsive

* so far in terms of scrolling and around specially in messages, it became faster

* faster hook up in wifi

everything is stable so far though, all I can say it is a better experience than the stock kernel hands down :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rycon33:
very impressed and happy with this kernel

seems stable at 748MHz, i'm curious what's the difference of this OC with others, last time my phone can only handle up to 729MHz
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Superuser.Angga:
You got /sbin problem

adb use /sbin instead of /system/bin to execute sh

try using file explorer

if you can browse /sbin and similar to /system/bin

try to update your adb

if the problem still exist

use another method

im never use adb to install app

i rather push them to /system/app

if normal apk i use market
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asycid:
Thanks for the help. I updated ADB, but no dice. I wanted to use this adb install method, because it's the fastest way to install all apps on a freshly flashed phone. But then I'll stick with the push method. Thank you again.

I don't understand how exactly ext2/3/4 but I have swapper2 set up and it pops up in superuser window the odd time. I have links2sd running with some apps linked but under android app management the option to move to sd card is still there and the app uses phone storage, I was under the impression that if I used links2sd with ext2 apps would take no phone storage. Also some roms show over 200mb available, how is this possible when the phone has only 212mb storage? Im a bit lost since bootloader unlocked.

I do a battery wipe after each full charge and it more less holds for two days, if I don't wipe there are some cases of drain, so my guess is that, just maybe, the kernel has something messed up in battery indicator service. Or something like that :p
