FINALLY after trying and trying:

to enable swap automatically at every boot, open /system/etc/hw_config.sh

in text editor and add those lines at the end:

mkswap /dev/block/mmcblk0p[COLOR="Red"]2[/COLOR]
swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p[COLOR="red"]2[/COLOR]

don't forget to add a new line at the end. i don't know why, i'm not a linux guy !

of course change the number in red depending on ur partition number.

to make sure use free command in VI

Any Update instructions without loosing all the actual data/apps/settings?

tx!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CaliburManiac:
only possible if you're alrdy on minicm9. but then can just flash new kernel and flash new rom in cwm recovery without wiping stuff. should work.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Empty2k12:
U can use Titanuim Backup, too. It saves Data+Settings+Apps.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CaliburManiac:
doesnt work for me ~.~ i cant even activate the swap manually in terminal anymore altho it worked yesterday.

how large is ur swap partition?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] fundre:
Do you use ext partition? If yes, then change "2" to "3". Both.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CaliburManiac:
nope i dont. also checked with fdisk its mmcblk0p2 for me. still cant get this to work :(

Hey guys. Need ya help again :D

I've tried to make a theme by simple recoloring the png's in D_d's MiniCM Theme.

The app icons are look normal but most of the other stuff is looking ugly!

Can someone test it and maybe look whats going wrong?

Thanks in advance ;)

It seems that Chainfire3D and DroidWall (edits iptables) not working...

Swap doesn't automatically activated. I need Swap badly for multi-tasking.

I hope nAa can do it without the help of Qualcomm...:p
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Heronger:
For auto enabling swap:

Create this file: /data/local/userinit.sh

Write this text in it:

#!/system/bin/sh

#Swap

swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0pX

where the letter 'X' at the end is replaced with the number of your EXT partition (2/3 probably)

And set Permissions with Root Explorer:

Just to remind people about the topic: we were talking about how to set a permanent value of swappiness.

I tried couple of things with no success, what eventually worked was nAa´s suggestion - went to /etc/hw_config.sh and added this line:

echo 100 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

and you know what? It works!

Hell, the man seems to know what he´s talking about! :-))))

Video Playback / Streaming Problems

Hello XDA-Dev.

I've searched this thread for yhe video related problems I'm having but cannot find anyone else reporting problems with Qloud Media (by Qiss). On MiniCM7.xx this works fine without problems. On MiniCM9 it takes longer than usual to buffer/load the video and when it starts streaming the audio is out of sync with the video even at 256kbps (I used to astream at 2MB+ witout problems on MiniCM7).

Vevo also refuses to work, Force Closes every time, aswell as Youtube lagging on HQ vids.

Is this just because the HW Video Encoding / Decoding isn't working yet?

It's such a great ROM, I just would like to check that there's nothing I can do at my end to resolve these issue.

Using nAa Kernel: E15_nAa-ics-03_2.6.29.6-nAa-ics-03

ROM: MiniCM9-3.0.2-shakira

Many thanks to nAa for this amazing ROM as always.

Any feedback will be appreciated!

Thanks.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] guelas:
Yes it's because the HW video decoding, if you jump some posts back you will see some people talking about youtube not working in hd mode.

Please always use search before writing posts about something that has been discussed already.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Agenty1609:
Thanks for the reply. I did search for "Qloud" and "Qiss" but no posts contain info about my problem hence why I made a new post. I just added in the other info so it was as detailed as possible.

Qloud Media didn't use the option "Use HW Video Decoding" on MiniCM7 and worked fine, so wasn't sure why it would make a difference on CM9 as HW Video Decoding wasn't checked as an option on MiniCM7.xx but again, worked fine.

Ill just wait for the fix and see if it resolves the issue.

Cheers.

hey guys do you have the bug "black screen of death" sometimes? screen that delays to light for about 10 secs?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] channaq4:
yes i have that (eg: when updating app i cannot wake screen until it finish)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] nazz.rule:
Yeah it happen sometimes..but it's not on MiniCM9 only,it also happen on Gingerbread's ROM..
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] wc_how:
It is quite "normal" for our low spec phone doing heavy job, if you are mean your phone is hard to wake up when doing some jobs behind.

But i face another problem for screen. It was since previosu version.

The screen won't wake up sometimes. I mean only the screen, but the system is already wake up. How do i know because i can "unlock", but the screen show nothing but i feel the vibration for the unlock. It is something like the screen didn't on.

I need to press power button for few times until the screen is on. It was quite often in previous version, about 10-20times per day. It is a lot better in this version, only happen for 0-2 times per day.

Btw, i wish to thanks for nAa's hard work. This version performance is greatly improved.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] nashshafrulrezza:

Battery good. and didn't have any delay.

Is anyone else having battery drain issues?I haven't tweaked anything in settings that could account for it neither am i running any background apps out of the ordinary(actually 3 apps are running in total and i haven't killed anything)I tried increasing the minimal cpu frequency and max cpu freq. but it didn't help(besides making scrolling slightly smoother?I also have the same ammount of free RAM i had with MiniCM7.2(50-60mb).I tried factory reset and re-flashing the ROM and gapps but it didn't help.Just to give you an idea of how much the battery drain is.It went down 20% over one night(about 6 hours without touching the phone)compared to MiniCM7.2's 2-3% over 12 hours that is quite a lot.This is a big issue for me since i use my phone as an mp3 player and i need it up and running with battery to spare all day.

If anyone has any ideas how i might resolve this issue,please share them!

Other than that i'm pretty happy with the rom and you can see the massive ammounts of time these people spent working on it weren't in vain:p

PS:Sorry for the wall of text/

TL;DR Massive battery drain overnight,done factory resets and what not with no success,need tips/or possible fix for it.Thanks in advance.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Jeik:
ok,did you try wiping battery stats?if you tried that,maybe the battery is used out.try getting new battery if everything fails.PRESS THANKS if i helped
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ahlulnugraha:
Instead of wiping battery stat when you calibrate your battery, battery drain is caused by signal IMO, airplane mode can avoid that problem or try to make your signal available as you can.

Hi everyone, hi nAa

My Q is that is there a conflict between zRam and swap? because i find out that in order to make swap to work i need to disable zRam, is it ok to use zRam and swap at the same time? or vise versa? :D

hoping for enlightenment. :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] nobodyAtall:
Compcache (mentioned as zRam in CM settings) works just fine with swap. There are no conflicts. As far as the kernel is concerned, they are both 'swaps'.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] drfr:
Do it through adb not in terminal.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CaliburManiac:
can you gimme any tut or link on how to do this? im not into adb. thanks

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] 2010matej:
Where is link to download it?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] fifo171:
it's in the rom already ._.

settings -> theme -> MiniCM9 theme
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] drfr:
Yeah, that´s what I´ve been posting about too. Much of the battery drain apparently goes out to radio /cell signal/, it depends heavily on quality of signal in your area. The trick with airplane mode during the nights or whenever you need helps a lot, if you go back several pages you can find that even dev himself and matmutant too were using this.

One more thing. You may want to disable radio alone, with keeping other connectivity like wifi or bluetoth enabled. Just go to phone, dial *#*#4636#*#* wait a moment and you`ll be redirected to testing page, tap Phone information, scroll down and tap Turn off radio.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] matmutant:
when flight mod is enabled you still can enable wifi and bluetooth by yourself :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] 2010matej:
i have just option "themes" in my settings and there is just "Preference Stub" this isn't theme

*Xperia X8 Black @ ICS miniCM9 3.0.2 on nAa ICS 03 kernel *

Thank you very much nAa!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ahlulnugraha:
If you want battery more longer just try disable zRam and KSM feature, because there are need cpu cycles, nAa already declared that on first page. But you'll never be have more free RAM.

I bet you had an ancient version.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] drfr:
OK, we know there`s a lot of things that influence power usage. You named some very important. But even with disabling them and going to "barebones" by disabling pretty much everything not vital to rom /believe me, I tried it all/, still you can see that infamous battery drain - which is acceptable for me btw, but the question is - why there`s such a difference between airplane on/off modes. It has to be RIL. CMIIW.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ahlulnugraha:
Cell standby consume battery isn't it? I think thats the difference between airplane mode, correct me if I'm wrong.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Xmaster8:
Yes when phone is in airplane mode antena doesn t work (searching and be connected to network) thats why battery consumption is small a.k.a. close to 0% :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] drfr:
Of course, but the question is, why this rom /or maybe ICS as such?/ while in cell standby consumes more than GB while in standby. At least for me, but it`s apparently not only for me.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Acudor:
why missed calls not tellin the name in phone ?? when i miss more than 1 call i open notification drawer and click on missed calls , phone open but not telling who called me !!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] matmutant:
yes, and the cell standby as it is in your phone actually was meant to work with android 2.1 eclair!

4.0.4 is far different from 2.3.7 and so further from 2.1 so:

the higher consumption is due to compatibility issues, and can't be solved in the very near future ...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ahlulnugraha:
In my humble opinion, ICSthing are hungry memory right? Some of closed application still running on background, maybe this thing consume battery too even on airplane mode. But let wait someone who more experienced/knew explain more clearly.

So, it is related to hardware thing?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] drfr:
That`s a word, thanks Mat!

But I was hoping that nAa could shed some light on this. In other threads, people are discussing various tweaks in radio-related libs.

i know u r right about calmin down but , its happenin to me since 3.0.1 and the situation is as simple as i described it .. when the screen is off and someone call me more than 1 time , the name of the caller doesnt appear in the call log , meaning phone doesnt see or count missed calls when screen is off .. simple as that , its really annoying i miss many important calls and i cant just leave the phone's screen on all the time .. sry if i spammed but .. i hope u know how i feel :)
