@B.Jay 1.the modules are in the kernel,the reason I didn't remove this is that I forgot about it.But the modules will not be loaded in my kernel,so nothing to worry about.

2.This is most likely a wrong partitioned sd-card.This is my output with ext4:

~ # system/bin/e2fsck -y /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
system/bin/e2fsck -y /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
e2fsck 1.41.10 (10-Feb-2009)
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 contains a file system with errors, check
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Pass 2: Checking directory structure
Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity
Pass 4: Checking reference counts
Pass 5: Checking group summary information
Free blocks count wrong for group #0 (797, counted=796).
Fix? yes

Free blocks count wrong for group #31 (7485, counted=7486).
Fix? yes

3.yes, you can read this thread to get the history of why I added it.

You will find almost everything you need in this thread to check the partiotions on sd-card.Some users are partitioning the sdcard with minitool or other pc software with sdcard mounted from inside phone.This will result in errors.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] :
Thanks alfsamsung, much appreciated.

I forwarded the info about a possible wrong partitioning to the user having the problem (he's hanging out with us on IRC).

CM9 wifi issues and screen tearing

hey folks

i checked wifi, for me it works on cm9

i did a factory reset and wiped system,

then i installed cm9, had no wifi problems

FOR screen cut issues

i once read about that NO FSP_CAP, could make the screen tearing

so the screen tears if fps go over 60

no problem using no_fsp_cap, BUT since new adreno libs and kgsl drivers are aviable the xperia x8 go faster in 2d/3d, so v08 surpasses the 60 fps more often than older versions,

so i would suggest everybody to use the fps capped version

Isnt there any screens on touch recovery? I would really se how it looks like :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] thetwistedx:
This is probably a noob question but can someone tell me what is "fps cap"?

I googled it and searched on the forum and don't found an answer.

BTW congratulations to alfsamsung and djnilsje, since I installed this new kernel it seems that I bought a new phone. It has never been so fast...thanks guys ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] RomWiz:
Link?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] alfsamsung:
Maybe you should try a different search engine....

fps=frames per second cap=limit
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] suhel28:
I'm really clueless. I unlocked bootloader and now whenever I try to install this kernel using flash tool, the flash tool shows error on the flashing kernel step. I have to again flash stock kernel to make my phone work or else it gets bricked (nothing happens when I press power only vibrates).

PS : I've verified that my bootloader is unlocked (the small r thingy in the s1tool)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] thetwistedx:
I'm sorry, I didn't explain myself.

I know what fps cap means, but I don't know what it is... or what it dows.

Why is there a kernel option with "no fps cap"?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] nilse:
fsp cap limits the fsp at 60fps, so i dont have more than 60 fps

if you dont have fsp cap it can go even up to 70fps

BUT it can also cause screen tearing

Did you install Alfs Kernel AddOn or vold+chargemon+adreno-libs.Please give more detail when you ask for help.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asycid:
You have to install ADB first. Check on google. Hint: Android SDK.

Then you have to use the adb.exe correct path in the cmd. I mean if it has been installed in C:\program files\Android\sdk-tools\ , then you have to use this path.

Like:

"C:\program files\Android\sdk-tools\adb.exe" logcat

Yes, you have to use the quote marks if there is any space in the path.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rav3n_pl:

In CWM don't work Restore->advance.

I have a partition sd-ext and after install kernel+vold path+clear cache, i lost sd-ext.

I try do restore->advance for restore sd-ext and say "no file found", then i did restore (complete).

I have:

1) min freq 122 and max freq 748

2) swapper2 with file swap with 128Mb and swappiness 100Mb

This work excellent.

For test, can i create swap partition on sdcard ?

How i must create the 3 partitions (Primary fat, primary ext3, ???? swap)?

I test different ways with LinuxDX, but this don't work for me and i want test on AlfsKernel (i haven't time for do lots of test because i work with the phone)

alright... adb now working... maybe i'll post the dmesg tommorow (if someone not yet)... thx
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asycid:
You have Cypress, I presume. Then there is no FPS cap, so the phone runs as fast as it can :D

I have Cypress too, but I think it isn't a big problem, to be honest, I'm happy that the effectd run faster, because the whole phone feels faster because of this. Just check FPS2D if you want to laugh a little, and try to follow the ball with your eyes. Hint: You can't :D

if the new ROM has already the new libs you don't need to flash them.

Depends on what kind of ROM you use.

Easy way to find out, compare the lib files of the ROM with the update if they have the same size their are included.

The gallery and live wallpaper is lagging unusually after flashing alfs kernel. am using GDX v21 rom.... so I flashed alfs GDX v08 kernel. updated chargemon and adreno libs as well. .... but the gallery and live wallpaper is lagging a lot.

hmm, i don't know, but the X8 isn't really the best phone, so sometimes it lags
