This thread is becoming a mess, IMO. I have no idea what to install to get v9 working.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Deedi:
First you download the 'X8_09-GDX_Alfs & Djnilse.rar' and 'update-rom-all-AlfsKern.v9 +. Zip' from the first post,

Then you download the addon v007 Alfs from the thread of GingerDX.

You put these updates on SD card, then flash both X8_09-GDX_Alfs & Djnilse.ftf by Flashtool on your computer.

After flashing, enter the CWM Recovery and Choose. Zip from SD Card. First, install the Alfs addon v007 , then

update-rom-all-AlfsKern.v9 +. Choose in CWM Restart system now.

Done.

Enjoy.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Ftwisawesome:
Uh if your flashing gdx there is a addon provided so there is no need to flash updaterom anymore?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CtrlAltDelIrl:

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CtrlAltDelIrl:

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CtrlAltDelIrl:

How come it works great then? OOhh wireless dead.. I'll remove the last post!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Godra:
Can someone tell what to flash to make GDX working, becuase I have tried everything and I still got tons of reboots :(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Ftwisawesome:
I flashed v09cm7 kernel for minicm7. Then I flashed SD fix then wiped. Got into the phone. Took a while for the kernel to settle in as opposed to 08a which boots and loads me into the phone quickly. Was really laggy at the first few minutes then became good. Decided to go on fruit ninja a bit laggy. Went to mount usb then when I unmounted well you know what happens :(

So I flashed 08a again. Hope this gets fixed.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] achill3r:
Nothing fine, I'm still having screen movements. I removed that file and followed your instructions. Later I will try to do another clean install. If also that does not resolve my issue, I'll be forced to go back to v08a... :crying:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ElmirBuljubasic:
Change governor! (for fix the screen cut)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] achill3r:
What do you suggest? I never changed governor before because I felt fine with normal usage... No over clock at all.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CtrlAltDelIrl:

Installed X8_09a-GDX_Alfs&Djnilse with Flashtool

Entered CWM and flashed GingerDX v028b

Flashed GingerDX Alfs Kernel AddOn v007

Flashed update-rom-all-AlfsKern.v9a+

Factory reset

My system is freezing at GDx logo or rebooting.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] nazz.rule:
Why did you make a factory reset after flashing the ROM and the add ons.??Do a factory reset before installing the ROM and wipe cache partition and dalvik cache after you've done flashing the add ons.:)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] vivekbalan:
I am using GingerZaraki v06 and yesterday I flashed alfs v09 cm7. Everythink went well, but today I flashed update-rom-all-AlfsKern.v9+.zip and cleared dalvik cache and cache partition. But my mobile stuck at alfs boot logo. I tried update sdfix.zip too, but no use.

What do you mean with script problems?

@vivekbalan: there is some issues with my update-rom-all-AlfsKern.v9+.zip and this rom(the script is only tested on gingerdx by me and on minicm by djnilse)

To fix it reinstall rom and remove system/etc/init.d from my update-rom*.zip and flash the .zip. If you get sd-ext problems replace the "sdmount" script in init.d(on your rom) with the one you removed from my zip.

Congrats on the new kernel.:good:

@alfsamsung and @djnilse, i have hitachi screen and at least with noop io sheduler i had no screencuts so far (changed using no-frills cpu control), tested with default (vr) and bfq also, in wich i had screencuts. Also don't know if it's predefined in some file on the kernel rom addon (or is it on GingerDX 28b?) but 691Mhz for "stock" max speed doesn't seem to be the best choice since that's, from what i have read and tested, the "worst" frequency to use and the most troublesome (i.e. the one wich causes screencuts most frequently, or was that the objective, meaning, to test faster if screencut would happen?).

Keep up the good work.

I think the first posts is this thread really need cleaned up.. It doesn't help scrolling backwards and forwards trying to find the file you need..

Older - non-working / broken files should be removed to stop confusion and complaints..

This problem is telling many time.

For those who wana use cm7-v9a

Flash the update.zip on 1st post v9+zip

Then go to system /lib/hw

Delete two files inside.

(Light.shakira.so and sensor.shakiest.so)

Reboot, wipe cache and d.cache.

Will fix. Is mean can adjust brightness to low.

-edit-

Wait djni come back and fix on kernel. Thing he enjoying trip..

Dear Dev, or Experienced user,

Sorry for my imprudent but i want to know about these 3 things that bother me alot when i get a logcat....

1st: /system/lib/LibEgl.so error? Does it related to screen tear we are facing? if yes need to patch libegl.so or msm7k.gralloc?

2nd: on pc-adb error msg of comp-cache? need ramzswap or it is implemented in kernel? if yes, why there is error msg (i know exit code of 0 mean no error, but i want a confirmation)

Image;

3rd: on phone free & compcache start command, i guess comp-cache really activated, but how about the error showed by compcache start command?

And once again, Pay our respect to our dev :o

I want to try, but I really am lost

Hello, sorry this is really smart ha? :eek:

I really want to try the Alfa Kernel on my Sony Ericsson X8.

But there are too many files attached here, I have no idéa which file to pick?

Also I have searched, and I see that some phones can get the stock Kernel back, can the X8 also get its orginal stock kernel back?

Does it work getting the stock kernel back using the Sony Ercisson PC companion? That way if I brik it, then I can atleast salvage it? :confused:

I found a guide for Xperia Play, I don't know if that applies to X8 also

My Phone is right now running GingerDX v28b, which keeps rebooting even though everything was wiped x2 (full wipe, delvik, bat, and not installed any new apps).

Problems

I read the forum and flashed the kernel v09a, its very fast and I like it but as mentioned I'm having screen cut problems....constantly. I have flashed the fps capped kernel as advised but that didn't solve much. I'm only reporting this as I consider it a serious problem and I'm not asking for you to fix it, I'm just asking what should I do? Should I go about the normal method and flash v08 where O had no problems whatsoever? Will flashing the previous version cause any problems? Any help will be very much appreciated especially if its directed towards my pm, I will give thanks too LOL :D

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] alfsamsung:
1. I'm not sure what this means, but adreno libs are precompiled by qualcom or manufacturer. I don't think this is related to the screen cuts we have, if that was what you meant. It's a kernel driver/hardware problem and is only on hitachi-lcd. I don't have problems with my toshiba-lcd.

2.ramzwap is built in kernel, that is why it can't find a module.exit is simply exit(means the script is asked to exit by code in script).This is info lines not errors or warnings.Look in system/bin/compcache for more info.

3.You can't start swap on a partition that allready have been started/swap is active. Like the log says device is busy.This is the same if you use ramzswap or a swap partition. Nothing wrong here

v09a is almost the same as v08a, v09a have improved performance but screencut happen more often than v08a. The bug is little bit annoying but can solved through turn off the screen & turn it on again, Nothing serious here :o
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] achill3r:
I solved this issue (I have a toshiba screen too) as suggested to me some pages before: by changing governor to smartassV2. It is not necessary to overclock at all. My phone now is very stable at 600MHZ. No screens cut. :good:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sandy_tea:
Yup..I've tried that as well..changing governor to smartassv2 does remove the screencut for sure..but it is very unstable with the overclock..even if I set it to 600 max or other higher frequencies it always rebooting all the time..I'm using GDX v28a btw..and installing alfs addon v008 doesn't even solve the problem..that's why I switched back to v08a till GDX updated..

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Kabbalista:
For me, it's almost impossible to use v09a because the screen is moved about 50% to the right. I can't even use the phone, because the touch go crazy with the screen displacement.

For now, I'm moving to NaA Kernel and MiniCM7...

My tip is: continue with v08a and wait this problem go solved before upgrade for the v09a version.

Screencut Errors

As AlfSamsung requested (assuming people still read here) please stop reporting screencut issues.. It's a bloody known bug.. If you have the problem, revert back to v8a and just live with it!!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] achill3r:
So, I'll try to be more specific.

I did (by staying always in CWM):

1) Flash kernel v9a;

2) Full wipe;

3) Install GDX v28b;

4) Install update-rom-all-Alfskernelv.v9+;

5) Install update-GingerDX-Alfs09a+-addon-v008;

5.a) restore data from a previous backup;

6) wipe cache/dalvik;

7) reboot & set governor to smartassV2 (firstly it was at 691MHZ, then I passed it to 600MHZ and no screen cut again).

In this way I had no screen cuts at all.

The only minor bug I had now discovered is the red led is always blinking when screen is on and battery is <= 10%; led remains always on for a while and then turns it off when screen is off... :confused:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] SpyderX:
For those who hate the rapidly blinking led light just delete /system/lib/hw/lights.default.so and then reboot.

Screen brightness settings will not work after this so make a backup first.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Kabbalista:
If you are blind, I will make this clearer to you: I'm not reporting ANYTHING. I'm replying to the achill3r post. And if you can read, you will see (if you aren't blind) that I said almost the same thing that you said here. Before attack another person, carefully read what they are saying.

I tried this, but the problem keeps annoying me. I don't know why and have no time to investigate. My advise is to keep with v08a for now. In my friend X8 I'm not capable of see a big improvement in perfomance. The whole system is noticeably more fast but, for know, I think that the v08a is the best way to go.
