on my ARC i couldnt get wifi to work may be u guys have better luck than me...

didnt i tell u the gapps will be useful and required soon ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jymdman:
Great work DooMLoRD! :)

Finally with your new kernel v04 I got WiFi working on my ARC! Couldn't get it to work no matter what I tried before.... Now it worked right away when starting up with the new kernel! :)

Have noticed a couple of FC with the new kernel, which I never had any before. Both clock and gapps have had some FC's.

Anyway, I use this as my primary ROM right now! The only thing I miss is working camera, maybe the leaked rom has better camera and can be combined with this rom?? (Tried leaked rom for a few minutes and I found it to be very buggy, but never tried out the camera...)

Keep up the good work, and count on a donation in the next few days! ;)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Chewitt:
So i have done a Clean install and done the following.

Clean Kernel V4 install

Rom 1 install

Wifi + GSM Modules

Enabler

Gapp's

Boot in system

Rom 1-2 update

Is that all that needs to be done? am i right in saying that the 1-2 update includes the Wifi Fix?

EDIT: Since WiFi is not working i am taking it that i do still need to do the standalone WiFi fix.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] M1K3E:
1. install kernel v4 via fastboot

2. install rom v1 via recovery

3. boot system.

4. install rom v1 to v2 update via recovery

5. boot system andcheck wifi and ..if no connection then

6. install wifi modules for v4 found in post with kernel.

no need for gapps and wifi + gsm enabler.

hope this helps.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Chewitt:
Spot on i had done the Modules in the wrong place. Now working spot on.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] stiker122:
When I try to flash boot.img with "fastboot flash boot boot.img" i get error <Waiting for Device>

I have unlocked my bootloader and running rooted .42 stock rom.

When I type fastboot -i 0xfce getvar version I do get output

Are you supposed to flash it with -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img ? :confused:

Sorry if this has been asked before..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rscunha13:
Video playback still VERY SLOW. Even using hardware decoder. :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
Thanks for the procedure. It certainly helped.

WIFI is working now.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] joecool1029:
Netflix doesn't work either, youtube seems fine though. Flash seems broken.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] r2ur_go:
I've been getting a lot of random reboots after installing the new kernel.

Anyone experience this? Please help.

Thanks!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kistigun:
i'm having the same issues with the new kernel V04
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
may be the libs form 4.0.3 might fix this...

hey if the custom kernel is giving u too much trouble just revert back to v02 kernel... dont forget to flash wifi modules for stock :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] r2ur_go:
Thank you very much for the quick response, DooMLoRD. & also for this wonderful rom!

Merry Christmas to you. & everyone in the xda-developers community!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] markobj:
can somebody please go to settings and see if there is an option for HDCP? in honeycomb on Htc Flyer you can disable checking HDCP.

thank you very much!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] M1K3E:
if you are having trouble with reboots with new kernel try steps below. since using latest custom kernel have not had a single reboot and things are running smoother.

or as doomlord says revert back to older kernel that works for you.

going to try libs from 4.0.3 will let you guys know how it works out.

thanks again DooMLord

[Xperia Arc Android Development] digitalsuni:
In Arc S also its showing Lt15i.

Could please Make this ROM for ARC S also.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gabimx:
some problem;

installed Kernel v04.

i intalled first the MAIN V01 rom.

then the update to v02.

and there is no WIFI, so i want to install to MODULES for it,

but the computer cant recocnize the phone/sd card, and now i

cant put the modules in my sd card.

can any one help me with the sd card mounting to my PC, is there a fix for it?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
This works on ARC S too...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Just boot into OS and then put them on sdcard
[Xperia Arc Android Development] basketballman:
thanks doomlord for all your work

i really enjoy the new kernel :p

do we have the rom v3

i am just curious :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
I haven't planned for v03 for atleast for now... Will be busy with Xperia Play and x10...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gabimx:
i did... the phone cant be recocnized in the PC.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] basketballman:
you are really so busy~~lol

great work

give you a thumb up!!

looking forward to v3 :p
[Xperia Arc Android Development] M1K3E:
tried changing some lib files and have got some improvement in semc camera. i am now able to take pictures at 8mp where i was getting FC before.

i am sure these lib files will help improve this rom but as i am a noob at this i think i better leave it to the real devs. ;)

edit: google camera is also improved seems only a slight touch on screen or quick press of camera button is needed otherwise freeze and FC.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] diegast:
Did anyone try and use Supercharger V6 yet...? Been trying to get Launcher supercharged, buy seems that some info/files can not be found for checking..... But the script does run on boot and as root........ Maybe it can help to make the launcher more stable... :-D Been using a few hours @option 5 (512mb unleaded balanced) and option 18 I think (oom fixes + bulletproof)........ Any more experimental experiences...???
[Xperia Arc Android Development] thx84:
Nice job! Do you have some samples? Since Arc and Neo share the same (?) camera, maybe the result can be ported to the Neo.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tommy paradise:
Can anyone post a video of this mod workin?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hellocng:
I'm having a lot of problems with Titanium Backup. It hangs when I restore apps, freeze apps, or convert apps to system apps.

Could this be a Busy box problem? It seems that I have more than one version of Busy Box installed. How can I uninstall all Busy Box then install one, and which one should I choose for best functionality and stability?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] NiklarenF1:
Doesn't work Wi-fi module, tried to reinstall , still nothing. And is it right that I cannot install any apps just yet?

Any possible of many one for Ray? My wifi was working last few days, but then it stops working...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Lervly:
In Kernel v4,Rom v2 , my wifi , gsm , edge is work , I found a little lag and random reboot twice a day.

Thank you for your work , Doomlord
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Bhambya:
Data usage doesn't seem to be recorded. It always shows 0.00 B. Also the signal bar always shows zero signal. I think these two problems are related. Hope they are fixed because I really want that data usage feature.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] wonggeo:
i am using Kernal V4 Rom v2 on my Arc, everything working fine except the gsm data doesn't work.

i got the same problem when restoring from titanium backup, end up i reinstall all the apps from market , n restore the data only from titanium backup, and there is no problem.

Thanks again to DooMLoRD

Merry Christmas
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Gsm data works fine... U just need correct APN settings for ur provider....

It's not advisable to use TB... Most apps need new ICS compatible versions...

MERRY CHRISTMAS to u too... ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] wonggeo:
Thanks, Data working now :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] daniel_dedeman:
It is possible to have a ftf format?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
nope... the SEMC S1 bootloader will reject custom signatures...

so we cant create a custom FTF out of this..

I want to flash with flasboot but I have an error "can t load boot img".
[Xperia Arc Android Development] steryman:
Hey DooMLoRD, I've recompiled the kernel(patched the battery driver because I have a 0% battery problem Arc) as you said(SFB set to is not set then I had to use "N" when I was prompted, because if used "M" or "y" I was getting the error @ net/sched/sch_sfb.o), repacked it with the ramdisk, flashed it, flashed the updates, the wifi modules, the wifi enabler, the wifi fix, etc. but the WiFi still doesn't starts... if I use your "standard" kernel(not battery patched) it works, but I can't use the phone without charger. How can I fix it?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Compile WiFi modules for ur compiled kernel
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pradeepvizz:
have you unlocked your bootloader ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chitose_ndy:
After reading all of the posts, I'm interested to use this alpa ROM :D

But can someone post the things that are still not working or not complete (I mean the issues) until now?

Please write in points, thankyou :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] steryman:
Ok I've compiled them(downloaded this, used source msm_env.bash in ap/platforms/os/linux and sta/platforms/os/linux after I edited it, used "Make" in both folders) and what I've got is sdio.ko, tiwlan_drv.ko and tiap_drv.ko. Are those the files they should result after compiling or did I had to use msm_env2.bash as source? And if yes, where do I have to place them exactly?

Later Edit: Tried using msm_env2.bash as source after editing it and I get errors.

Later Edit 2: Tried to push and chmod to 777 sdio.ko tiap_drv.ko and tiwlan_drv.ko to system/lib/modules and still nothing...

Later Edit 3: Got the kernel compiled using the linaro toolchain without disabling SFB in the config but still the wifi doesn't works. Now I'm compiling the wifi modules again using the linaro toolchain(msm_env2.bash) but seems to result the same files(sdio.ko, tiap_drv.ko and tiwlan.ko)...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
small update

fixed the remaining issue in kernel (ramdisk)...

USB mounting in recovery now works!

ADB in recovery now works!

regards,

DooMLoRD
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
which kernel sources are u using?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] steryman:
I am using this... and as I read on internet, the wifi drivers(mac80211 or whatever) are created like... um... wait, I'm quoting the site

So I think I'm compiling the wrong drivers...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
yes exactly :)

u need the new SEMC sources...

i dont have a stable net connection at the moment to push my full sources...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] steryman:
So, the link I gave you on PM yestarday is compatible with Arc?

But actually I tested the non-patched kernel and the wifi works fine. Anyway I'm gonna try to compile as on the website I quoted the kernel/net/mac80211 folder...

Later Edit: Nah it doesn't work... But I know the wifi can work because on your non-patched kernel I have no problems with the wifi... So how can I compile or what I must compile to get the compat.ko, cfg80211.ko, mac80211.ko, wl12xx.ko, wl12xx_sdio.ko files?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rahul.pillai:
Any one tried the 4.0.3 libs relating to EGL? I'm gonna take the plunge in sometime ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
using the latest sources from SEMC use the following command to get correct wifi modules:

cd vendor/ti/wlan/compat-wireless-wl12xx/
./scripts/driver-select wl12xx
export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=/home/doomlord/android/system/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi-
export KLIB=/home/doomlord/4.1.C.0.6/kernel
export KLIB_BUILD=/home/doomlord/4.1.C.0.6/kernel
make
cp ./net/wireless/cfg80211.ko ../../../../.
cp ./net/mac80211/mac80211.ko ../../../../.
cp ./compat/compat.ko ../../../../.
cp ./compat/compat_firmware_class.ko ../../../../.
cp ./drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/wl12xx.ko ../../../../.
cp ./drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/wl12xx_sdio.ko ../../../../.
cp ./drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/wl12xx_spi.ko ../../../../.

out of them we need only:

cfg80211.ko

mac80211.ko

compat.ko

wl12xx.ko

wl12xx_sdio.ko
[Xperia Arc Android Development] steryman:
Ah! So the link I have you was good! Thanks :)

Later Edit: Now one more question: the KLIB and KLIB_BUILD must be pointed to the 4.1.C.0.6 kernel directory as you wrote or to the kernel I patched?

Later Edit 2: Pointing to the 4.1.C.0.6 Kernel directory doesn't work. I've pointed it to the patched kernel directory, it compiled but not all. I can't find wl12xx.ko, wl12xx_sdio.ko and wl12xx_spi.ko(I know I don't need it but just saying)..

Also I've observed after I enter the command to compile it says

Shouldn't be 7 modules? Is this happening because I compiled using SFB=y or using linaro?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
compile using the new 4.1.C.0.6 sources

point to new compiled kernel source directory

U NEEED WL12xx MODULES FOR WIFI TO WORK...

check the list of modules in previous post

[Xperia Arc Android Development] steryman:
Ye I know I was talking about what it showed. Anyway, now I'm compiling the 4.1.C.0.6 kernel... but will it work? Because on their site the Arc(LT15i) is not mentioned... And do I still need to recompile the wifi modules?

Later Edit: GOD! ICS hates me o.o now I get error when compiling at net/ipv4/tcp.o

So.. I'm still gonna try to compile the wifi modules for v04 kernel... but it just doesn't want to compile also the wl12xx.ko and wl12xx_sdio.ko files :\

[Xperia Arc Android Development] rscunha13:
V02 + Kernel v4 => UNUSABLE.

VERY unstable...

Sometimes touch stop works

Random reboots

SE Launcher enter in "general view" and get stucked. You have to remove battery to restart phone.

Video Playback VEEEEERY slow.

When the battery is completely discharged: plug to charge and the phone enter in a reboot loop... hard to get out of it.

edit:

Flashed baseband 64 + 64libs => NO SIMCARD. =(

edit2:

It´s displaying NO SIMCARD but it´s working! Fake message. =/

I got FULL SIGNAL with this baseband and phone seems a bit faster... =)

Nobody?Pls help me!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Guimenez:
Tell me

When you do fastboot, did it recognizes the ARC?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] daniel_dedeman:
Yes.It ok.Arc responding.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Guimenez:
ok.

you have in your tools folder the Doomkernelv05.img?

do you have the ICS v01 and v02 and gapps already on your card?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] electrash:
GSM (3G, edge) and wifi work normal?

What dosent work?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Guimenez:
yes :)

you need to have in your sdcard the wifi fix for doomkernel v04 (first post)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] daniel_dedeman:
Yes.I have only ICS v01 in card.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Guimenez:
Ok.

You need on your sdcard:

Doomkernel05

ICS v01

ICS v02

Wifi module for doomkernel v04

Gaps for ICS

Put everything on a folder called ICS on sdcard.

PS: all above are in the first post
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hellocng:
Kernel is flashed via fastboot.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Guimenez:
yes, first of all put every thing on your sdcard like i told you.

and i will help you in everything
[Xperia Arc Android Development] daniel_dedeman:
I have the same error.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Guimenez:
for i help you, you need to have everything on ICS folder on your sdcard.

see above posts.

after that i can help you
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hellocng:
Okay, this is your checklist. If you think there is a chance your boot.img is corrupted during download, redownload it to be safe.

1. rename kernel to boot.img

2. put boot.img in the folder of fastboot

3. shift + right click to open command line (make sure your phone is connected and blue LED on)

4. fastboot flash boot boot.img

5. unplug phone and boot

6. spam back button when you see kernel logo/blue LED

7. install all the zip files with v1 first, v2 second, gapps and WiFi modules.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] daniel_dedeman:
I have done.I have all in my sdcard but I have the same error.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Guimenez:
ok.

now unplug USB CABLE and TURN OFF your ARC

keep pressing menu button (right button) and then plug in USB CABLE.

You will notice that ARC led will be BLUE.

Now you can flash boot.img
[Xperia Arc Android Development] daniel_dedeman:
Same error.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Guimenez:
are you with BLUE LED?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] daniel_dedeman:
YES!!I have all you tell me!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Guimenez:
ok

i do with this command and it works well:

fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot doomkernelv05.img

with this fastboot works :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] daniel_dedeman:
error canoot load doomkernelv5.img
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Guimenez:
but is the name correct?

do you have doomkernelv5.img in the same folder as fastboot?

the name must be equal to your boot file

i've done it twice today :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] daniel_dedeman:
In fasboot folder is the same but on the sdcard is the original name.

---------- Post added at 06:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:10 PM ----------

I change it on sdcard but same error
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Guimenez:
No. The doomkernelv05.img Must be in the same folder as fastboot in your PC
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
just use the latest flashtool... select fastboot mode... and select my kernel to flash...

ofcourse this is assuming that u have unlocked bootloader and have USB debugging enabled...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] daniel_dedeman:
I have done!Thanck you!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Transi:
I have an arc S (LT18i) 4.0.2.A.0.42 Rooted SuperOneClickv2.3.1 with what I now have to flash it? THX

[Xperia Arc Android Development] pradeepvizz:
I seem to hit a weird problem with the WiFi. My WiFi only worked with Kernel V2. Few things were observed.

1. WiFi reception is low - Signal strength is lower than usual/many times does not show up

2. WiFi does not connect - Even though when it is shown sometimes, i have to manually connect and when i do 'Connect to network', it does not respond.

Any advise? seems like something specific to my WiFi signal.

Woo , cool :D ... Doom one question ... :P, do you ever sleep ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rahul.pillai:
A tip: use Nova Launcher if you are facing a lot of issues with Trebuchet. You can search XDA to know more or download Nova ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] steryman:
DooMLoRD, maybe I'm idiot but... where is the kernel image? I compiled the kernel, but there's no zImage in arch/arm/boot folder o.O Also I've searched for zImage in the whole kernel folder and nothing... o.O

Merry Christmas guys anyway :)

Later Edit: I've been using -j8 after make... now I've used the normal command and I get error at net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_nat_rule.o (compiling with linaro)

Later Edit 2: Now compiling using 4.4.2 toolchain... and disabled SFB

Later Edit 3: WORKED! Disabled SFB, compiled using the 4.4.2 toolchain, compiled the wifi modules using the make_modules or something like that included in the modules folder... and... now I have Battery patched DooMKernel v5 Alpha ICS and working WiFi! Thanks DooMLoRD for all your help :)
