but maybe cypress driver can be set with the same parameters of that fix, at least i looked ax8mt module source code and they had basically the same structure.

pd: at least for me it's a big problem and it's why i am still on froyo. Touchscreen phone's shouldn't have bugs on touchscreen hahaha

I'm liking what I'm hearing about this kernel, seems to be the first one that actually makes a difference. Think now is the time for me to unlock the bootloader. Wasn't there a tutorial thread to do it? Can't find it for some reason.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] alfsamsung:
Usb tethering is enabled in the kernel,and I not sure if this is a bug in the rom or the kernel.Can someone on GC test?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] alfsamsung:
Yes.It is this or the newer recovery with not working advanced restore.I will give the new recovery a new chance and try to fix the bug later.

@vientito with smartass2 the battery life is pretty good,and if you don't have high Mhz all the time it's even better.My default Mhz is 600.I only overclock when playing games or doing something crazy.

I've flashed the v3 and my phone is working without problems. a have GDX v19 installed and its running fast and smooth with this kernel even without OC.

But with OC phone is working fine and VERY FAST.

My CPU is 100% stable at 768MHz. No reboots. Maybe My CPU can handle faster clock.

My results Benchmarks in attachment.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] phoenix883:
yes u can. just like u flash linuxdx and dont forget to install vold update in CWM recovery

Next step, flashing kernel.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dragan985:
Does anybody knows: is framerate capped in this kernel?

I have strange result:

In neocore I have 46.9 FPS on stock

50,9 FPs on alfs kernel

Antutu: 1360 on stock

1480 on alfs rom.

But strange thing is that when I play skyball it's significantly smoother on stock kernel, that's why I think that frame rate is capped.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ponanovn:
It is not capped (try FPS2D) but on stock it is capped to 60 fps and the human eye can only see about 30 fps (between black and white) so it should not make a big difference (more than screen tearing).
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ohboi:
with stock kernel fps2d 85 fps, with this 90 fps. not a big difference.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rikcon:
Strange. But for me USB storage stopped working after i flash vold update

(kernel alfs v3) but when i flashed original vold - all ok.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ponanovn:
Some ideas for future plans:

Some extra RAM (like in nAa kernel)

Remove FPS uncap

Linux kernel version: 2.6.29.6 (or newer)

Usb tethering (If the problem is in the kernel)

If you can fix these I (and most other X8 users) would be even happier.

Wow, I'm sure pretty much everyone agrees with me when saying that this kernel just made our phones several times better! The gaming performance is massive!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] akaSk8krew:
.why people talk about fps cap?? the kernel is so good as is..don't put this in next version..why you want remove fps uncap? other question, anybody have problems with swap in this kernel?

it's the best kernel for x8, of course.

sorry my bad english
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asycid:
@akaSk8krew:

No, swap is working. BTW I had problems with it in the v01 kernel, but in v03 everything seems bugless. No. I mean really. Everything is ok. And fast. All right. Enough of the short sentences :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rav3n_pl:
Swap ok

I have swap partition and use swapper (not swapper2:P) to install it at boot.

Yes, it is :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] velnens123:
Does swap partition work?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] akaSk8krew:
when i enable swap with swapper or swapper 2, my apps don't don't appear in home launcher..if i go to root explorer and install one of them, it asks me to replace..what should i do? anybody knows? this happens to me in v01 02 and 03 of this kernel, with gingerDx v19..

edit:if i go with root explorer to sd-ext, it don't shows nothing in the folder..i got a ext3 partition..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rav3n_pl:
Yap. It is working :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] velnens123:
How did you get that menu? I only have On and Ads off :(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] akaSk8krew:
because it's swapper, not swapper 2:)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Graveir:
Well, it's designed for stock kernel, for sure. Mine used to boot at 800MHz, now I have max of Alf's kernel and it runs incredibly smooth. I also updated GDX from v14 to v19, and with kernel change my phone is like 5 times faster :) In user experience, not digits :p
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] velnens123:

How make Wifi to work on Froyo Pro?

Someone said that this kernel works wth froyopro(froyobread) but wifi is broken.

It would be nice to have this kernel for that rom too, cuz theres only wifi to fix, isn't it?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] velnens123:
Take sdio.ko, tiwlan_drv.ko, tiap_drv.ko from GingerDX. They are located in /system/lib/modules. Replace Froyo Pro modules with the ones from GingerDX. VOILA! Wi-Fi should work now :D

Is GCR 8.1 + Alfs 03 the fastest combination?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] biscoitu:
Partitions

@alfsamsung, which file system does this kernel supports?? ext2? ext3? ext4??? I used ext3 on stock kernel, and it doesn´t recognized it anymore :D

Edit:

A little report, I can´t mount USB storage in PC with that option on ROM, and can´t mount my SDCard on android after using safe remove option.

Edit2: I will remove such partitions and try again, maybe another full wipe will solve it.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rycon33:
Really fast and smooth!

And all my apps which requires root doesn't hang anymore(was experiencing it frequently in linuxdx kernel for some reason).

Only noticed that always need to reinstall the flash player plugin after flashing new kernel version.

@alfsamsung, can the cpu vdd control be incorporated in the kernel? So user can tweak the cpu vdd also. I think if it is, it will help achieve stability at higher frequencies on some phones that currently cannot get past above 700+MHz.

And do you have plan releasing similar kernel for the official CM 7 Rom?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] velnens123:
@DDI

I just switched to FroyoPro v02 and Alfs kernel. So I tried to copy those three modules...... I get error when I try to turn Wi-Fi on. So i'm out of ideas. :( :mad:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] wc_how:
just flashed your v03 kernel, without wipe. running so good, everything are working.

just 1 thing, when i was copying files into memory card, by cable, it is a bit slower than before LDX. not sure is the kernel problem or other issues.

Nice kernel! ;D...but. could u remove supercharger oom grouping and minnfree value?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] akaSk8krew:
i have this too..

and i don't know why, i delete my ext3 and partition with ext2, and my swap now seems to work..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] viper001:
Hi. Great Job you've don here:D i tried the V3 of the Kernel with Vold updated.

Have a few issues however...

Tested on 3 ROMs GDX19, GX8 and FD1.1, my SD is partitioned as FAT32, EXT3, and Swap, in that order.

All partitions are supported since i see all of them on the Minitool. FAT partion can be accessed, and Native Apps to SD seems to work, Swap also works. what doesn't work is app2sd to the EXT partition. This is the issue that some have when they reported that they lost their apps.

Aside from that, i think it has everything one could want in a Kernel. :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Galon123:
if i flash this to other ROM like GCR or Xgin,before flashing,do i need to delete the moduls first?like oc,uv,mddi,gesture,smartass?do i need to delete them first?since they are one package with alfs kernel?

just want to make sure that i done this right,here's what i do

on GCR 8.1 : i delete the moduls (oc,uv,gesture,ax8mt,smartass,mddi),flash alfs v3 kernel,flash vold update,wipe cache,reboot.

on GDX v19 : not delete anything (i'm not flash the modules adds because i used to flash LDX when using this ROM,but now i stay with the stock ROM and still not flash the modules adds),flash alfs v3 kernel,flash vold update,wipe cache,reboot.

is my step right?or i missing something?because after i try with those ways,i don't see any differences when the cpu runs 600 MHz but when it's oc'd its real fast..:D

sorry for my noob question sir,and my bad english...:(

i'm still confused why my friend got 1300 score on QA while i'm just have 1129 when we are runing standard 600 MHz cpu..:(

we both use the same ROM,GDX v19+alfs kernel v3

@alfsamsung. i've installed ur kernel v03 and croped by you GC8.1. allmost everything for now is fine. but. i cant understand how to update busybox?? x8toolbox, Jrummy's Busybox Updater.. they say busybox updated, but it's still 1.15.3.

Can someone try some 3d games with accelerometer?

I definitely have problems with this kernel when playing skyball and asphalt hd.

skyball is playable but it's not smooth as it's with stock kernel.

Asphalt is almost non playable, it lags to much.

I tested with gdx 19 and GC 8.1 (fresh install with full wipe) and i get same result in both roms.

On the other hand all benchmark tests give me better results with alfs kernel comparing to stock. :confused:

p.s. pes 2012 works same on both kernels.

can u change boot logo ? to default or any other :-?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rav3n_pl:
You need change number of partition in swapper options :-)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Asycid:
Yup, got that AM lag too. The strange this is that there was no AM lag in kernel v001. Notice that I only experienced this in Dead Space. In Raging Thunder, the controls are OK (though it feels that the left rotating is a littlebit unresponsive that rotating right). In gallery it works good too.

EDIT:

Yes, in Skyball Lite the accelerometer pulls right if I set the phone fully vertically. So I seems that the AM is wrongly calibrated by default.

Has anyone experienced drain issue?
