+1. there is no screen tearing..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Dare-Devil Inside:
Yes there is but not much. If ever fps gets locked @ 60, and if performance of the kernel remain the same - you will see the difference. Yeah, it will be smoother. Like iPhone. No blur when scroll.

Things are VERY good now, but it can get better and just feel smoother.

SITUATION #1 - Playing Fruit Ninja.

Fruit goes nice, without lag. But, sometimes goes faster, sometimes goes slower (or in noob language more FPS or less FPS)

If there is more frutis on the screen, it will go slower. If theres few fruit - it will go faster.

It's NOT a real lag. It's fps drop. When playing games, you can feel it. IF FPS IS LOCKED, IF IT'S EQUAL ALL THE TIME - things would just feel smoother.

Don't you think? Is it better to have 60fps all the time than 80fps now, and for few secs 60fps, than 70 fps...

Evan nAa confiremed this. He put FPS cap on his kernel because of reasons I've wrote.

So... please, shut up :)

EDIT: ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] kulen:
thanks for answer.

searching google for logcat did raise all the questions. but it's much more clear to me now after using it.

I do have swapper2 and I use swap file. but first time I had this problem I had swapper2 installed but without swap ON. I turned it on because I taught Skype might be breaking because of lack of RAM.

I don't need swap so if that's the reason I can remove it.

And I tested another problem when you mentioned this.

SWAP FILE IS THE REASON SD CARD CAN'T BE MOUNTED ON PC !!!

thank you for showing me on that.

I did not install any DSP manager on my own. it might come with GDX or some app?

I did as rav3n_pl suggested and I made a few logs. in first 2 hight was left default.

in first 3 logs I had to make a few calls each time before phone rebooted.

in 4. log I was having a long conversation and phone rebooted during it

each time phone reboots logcat stopped and line C:\adb> showed.

In third log all those c:... lines on the end showed after I right pressed mouse in cmd window, but after logcat was finished. so all is there but with a few lines more at the end.

I hope this can help for now. I will do a full wipe and retest everything but I can't do it for a few days now because I'll be on a business trip.

I had to zip logs because of their size.

I really hope that not installing swap file can solve this problem. but I'm pretty sure I first tested skype and then installed swapper2, after reinstalling kernel v4 and GDX v19

anyhow thank you for this great kernel and for giving us such a great support.

+1 to DDI :D

Fps Cap Making Phone even Go Smoother (Locked @ 60 Fps)

But Just Like DDI said

-screen on/off animation is way too fast,
-some games "lag" (if more object are shown, fps will drop and that will cause the lag)-you can try Fruit Ninja, you can see it there easily.
-Noticable [B]screen tearing[/B] - when you scroll, fps is just way to fast - our screen can't refresh at that rate.
- drains more battery

@Alfsamsung

Please Remove Fps Cap
Even nobodyAtall Confirmed this
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rav3n_pl:
I`m using swap partition (not a file) have no troubles.

For swap file use "safe mount/unmount" options in swapper2.

Log indicates some errors in SKYPE application, looks it is related to location service?

You mean UNcap :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] mondrup:
Hi mate! First I'd like to thank you for your contributing to making the X8 a much better device, with more custom kernels and configurations to choose from. You're doing good, and so far, I'm really pleased with your work! I'm loving it, actually!

I am, though, having a bit of a hard time getting USB tethering working on my phone. I've tried flashing your uploaded zip, editing my build.prop and rebooting, though, nothing works. Tried the steps mentioned in Superuser.Angga's post. Nothing works there either. Then I took a look at my build.prop after rebooting - the extra "ro." line I added has disappeared - I believe the build.prop might be regenerating itself from a base somewhere in the system. Or it might just be something I'm doing wrong, I don't know.. Can someone give me a hand? I'd really like to ditch all the apps and just use native tethering!

I'm running v04 of AlfsKernel and v019 of GingerDX - everything is new and fresh!

Thank you for your work, and hopefully for your help!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rycon33:
using alfs version4, did backup

then when tried restore, i'm having "MD5 mismatch"

anybody successfully done restore?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Amrooz:
1st there are two build.prop files did you edit both?

2nd try to unmount sdcard from storage options

3rd enable usb debugging

4th i've heard that GDX doesn't have the tethering option in system menu so what program you are using

5th and last what do you mean with not working? Does the pc recognize the phone and you get new connection icon on your pc network but it doesn't connect? or your pc doesn't recognise the phone at all? or your phone fail to enable tethering? Please give more details about the problem if it started with errors or didn't start at all

---------- Post added at 04:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:52 AM ----------

which version of CWM recovery you did backup with?

and i guess vice versa
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rycon33:
I did backup on the CWM built-in on alfs_version4, which is CWM recovery 5.0.2.7 and I did the restore on the same CWM version(same kernel alfs_version4).

How did you successfully restore?

i wanna try this kernel

but it compatible or not

BeHappy,

Superuser.Angga
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] mondrup:
Hi man, thanks for replying!

1st: No, I can't find more than one build.prop file in /system - if there's one more elsewhere, could you point me towards it, that might just fix it!

2nd: Does nothing for me..

3rd: Enabled by default.

4th: It does have a tethering option in the Settings -> Wireless and Network - but only to enable USB tether. But that's all I need, and actually all that we're enableling with this process. Else i have Barnacle(only needs working WiFi and root access) and Wireless Tether directly from marked - just in case the codes to make it work suddenly show themselves on XDA!

5th: Well, my computer detects it, when tethering is enabled, but the phone only allowes it to use the tethering option for about 3-5 seconds, then it disables it and shows no errors what so ever. So it's the phone, not the drivers.

But thanks for the help, and I hope someone turn back to me again with locations for the build.props!

EDIT: Thank you for helping me, I found the last build.prop in /system/bin - edited it, and got it working after a reboot! Now, I have no further needs for this kernel! Perfect!

it stays stable till you start playing games like nova , sandstorm etc and than it reboots,, and for those who say they dont play games why you need higher oc than?? :confused: anyways, oc more than 748 is unstable in most cases,

Yes man, I know that in fps2d I will get 90fps (that was first thing I tried when I flashed this kernel), and yes I don't need that much ... but the point is that I don't have any screen tearing even with uncapped fps, that's what I was trying to say

BTW yeah, of course I know what is screen tearing, I would not say something about it if I did not know what is it ... lol ;)

How to make the ext3 or ext4 work?:(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asycid:
A suggestion for next release (It's not a hard work, so please consider it):

Please put 6xxMhz frequencies to the overclock list, because some x8s are not capable for higher OC.

Everything else is fine (ok, some ppl complaining about FPS uncap, but I think its a bit more harder to put FPS cap in kernel), and works great.

Thanks in advance.

Correct and fastest order is:

boot to recovery

- install rom using kernel recovery

reboot
