hi guys .... when i connect my USB to phone my phone can't connect :/ .... i have gingerxperia v21b alfs kernel v6 nofps
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] mpoendi:
I think

is there any bugs on v6?

i found any ( i dont know it was a bug or just my fault but when I reflash back to stock kernel it back to normal again ).

SD Card won't mount when i trying connect to PC, it shown sdcard safe to remove and xrecovery didn't work as it should can't mount sdcard your device or something is busy.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] fenixcro:
some problem like me and i found what is it :D .... so no bugs for now ... update alfs download and that it is :) thanks everybody :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] darkvoid101:
i used naa08b kernel and gingercruzt8.5 before,then i flashed alfs v6 and installed gingerxperia v21b and my phone lags sometimes and i have low antutu score, so i turned off my phone flashed alfs v5,rebooted it and turned it off again and flashed alfs v6.after i rebooted my phone my lag problem on my phone was solved..why did that happen??

Alfasamsung, it is possible to compile your kernel in way that it can be a replacement for nAa kernel? "Only" issue is wifi...

What's the difference between the v06 and the v06 no fps cap?

What should I use? And what means fps cap?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ponanovn:
I recommend using v6 because it does not have screan tearing but if you only care about benchmarks use the no fps cap version.

there is a bug i cant mount usb storage (connect my phone to pc) and clockworkmod and xrecovery not reading sd card. with stock kernel there are not problems

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] spenik:
Installed and SIM card is locked :-( What to do? Thank you.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CKKnot:
Do that happened before unlocking or after you had flashed the kernel?

the problem "Usually" lie on unsuccessful unlocking the bootloader... or cannot be unlocked
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] spenik:
It happened after unlocking. Will it correct? THX

Using v06 with new kuyadroid and its great. Battery life is unreal, 4-5 days, its so smooth and everything feels so instant. When I touch an icon there is no delay, its a perfect combination for this little device.

@nobodyatall, thanks for the tip, I was using no fps without any real benefit, using v06 now and its great.

Thanks also to those who answered the sd mount error questions posted by others, it was driving me nuts.

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] corsav6:
I cant believe people are still asking, that question has been answered on nearly every page of this thread. This is why threads fill up with useless posts, people refuse to go back even 1 page, or in some cases they dont even look at the post above them.

@kulen, that was not directed at you, all you were doing was trying to help other members, it was directed at the person who asked.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dragan985:
Today I wanted to try some roms based on alfs kernel but i have a lot of problems with both kernel versions.

With alfs without fps cap, I played asphalt hd ant I was suprised how smooth it is. Then I tried to play skyball, but it was incredible slow and laggy. When I close the game whole rom becomes slow and I must to restart phone.

Then i tried alf with fps cap. Now, situation is inverted, skyball runs perfectly, but asphalt hd and pes2012 are unplayable (lags as hell), and after closing those games whole rom becomes slow.

Is there any fix for this?

p.s. Same thing happend in xgin6.2 and gingerxperia v22
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] akaSk8krew:
@alfsamsung: i don't test it because i'm tired of test things to make work partitions in your kernel, so i unfortunately change to nAa kernel..but maybe this is the problem..

If you have swap ,it will work. I use nAa kernel ,compcache 26% ,256mb swap and and with compcache on it's increasing up to 300mb of swap

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] junghyun01:
yes u can it m also use that :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] kulen:
there's no need to use both at the same time.

read this:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Swap_and_Compcache
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] junghyun01:
but mine use it and work fine
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] belacker:
v7 ??? :eek:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] kulen:
well, I said you don't need to, because there's no real benefit in using them both at the same time. I didn't say you can't.

As I see it from that wiki:

compcache (i.e. 25%) - 75% real RAM + 25% slowed down (compressed) RAM + extra slower (compressed) RAM

swap - 100% real RAM + extra slower (SD is slower than RAM) RAM

compcache (i.e. 25%) + swap - 75% real RAM + 25% slowed down RAM + extra slower RAM (compressed) + extra slower RAM (on SD)

So, you lose something to get something. more capacity = less speed, specially with compcache.

it's all what you want and what you need, so if it suits you, you can use them both

I personally use swap partition on class 10 SD card.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] masterulukai:
Hello!

First of all - great job on this kernel - really fast and stable. But everyone already know it, so I will skip to the problem right away: I have a big battery drain on v6 and v7test (GingerDX 021, everything installed correctly). Status menu says "phone idle" is using about 35% and "mobile standby" is using 40% all the time :(( It drained about 40% of full charged and calibrated battery in 7 night hours not being used.

I will try v5 and v6 capped. But it would be great to know what causes the drain and use later versions. Thanks alot!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Chucky-PT:
I have flashed my kernel to alfs v06, can I flash to a previous version like v05, without problem? Or I have to do some step before?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] junghyun01:
u can flash directly
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] junghyun01:
ok thx dude :)

i disable comcache now i use swap partition
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] alfsamsung:
Please don't relink.And this was a test version.

@masterulukai, are you sure you installed the update-rom*.zip file?If not installed Chargemon will drain your battery because system gets unstable. And if you have cypress,please test v5 with the old cypress touchscreen driver,to check if there is problems with the driver. (I'm on synaptic,so I have not tested this driver)

Added a screenshot of my battery status on GingerDX v22. Using smartassV2 122-748MHz
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] romulocarlos:
Good Morning, guys.

After install Alf6_nocap kernel with GingerDX V22, my phone is NOT recognized by computer. I mean, the ADB driver don't work anymore.

I was using LinuxDX+GDX V21, and works fine: I opened FlashTool, it recognize my phone, I flashed the Alf kernel and then install GDX22 and update.

When it finishes the first boot, I connect the phone to computer, but the FlashTool don't recognize the phone. On Device Manager, it shows "SEMC HSUSB Device" with a yellow exclamation.

Tried re-install FlashTool, the driver in "x8_adb_driver.zip" and the Gordon driver, and install these drivers manually too, but no success...

Any suggestions??
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] romulocarlos:
I wanna give a big THANK YOU to pilu1978, he/she give me another driver, and it works very well.

Thanks pilu1978!!!

He/she can't write here yet, but the driver is located at: http://www.mediafire.com/?e37i3xly3iq33ky

Cheers!!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] masterulukai:
Yes, I installed the chargemon_and_vold update zip. Also after flashing another kernel version. That was my steps from begin:

1) CWM factory wipe and install kernel v6 nocaps

2) CWM install gingerDX 21

3) CWM install update rom chargmon*

4) CWM Wipe cache and dalvik-cache

and also after flashing other kernel version I install update rom and wipe caches.

System runs really smooth and stable, no crashes and no FC at all, only drain. Using smartass v2 not overclocked. I also use homescreen launcher from Xperia Active.

I do have cypress screen indeed. flashed your v5 nocap some hours ago - drammaticly improved battery life! Please define problems with driver - what should I be looking for?

I have google Maps and Facebook (not synchronizing) installed, could that be draining source as well? but in the same time, it shouldnt be a problem, cause now with v5 there is no drain.

thank you!

Hmm... It seems that 729Mhz overcolck is now doesn't reboot my phone, but at v06 or before it was. I think this is because of optimizing the overclock? It made me really happy!
