[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
It is working... I just tried with my wife's Moto Defy and it can connect fine and data transfer is good...

Do you by any chance use Droidwall? I I was having issues with it because I didn't add a rule to Droidwall to allow wifi hotspot to transfer 3G data...

hey jimbo77

I've started to use ur kernel v7 on my ARc though, only one word to express my feeling is AWESOME.

Just wonder how to prevent the battery drain in deep sleep, its a little bit faster than stock even on v7 & v8. Surely i followed ur recommendation at first..anw, this issue's worth sacrifice to performance..Highly appreciated and keep it uppp..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hootnath:

my samba file sharing and swiftp have stopped being able to get accessed since your version 7 kernel. (i had version 4 before and they worked fine)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
Yeap.... Cifs support was disabled since v7 because I suspect it was causing battery drain in Idle....

If you need it you can find it in the Arc night modules add on from first post, open the file extract Cifs.ko move it to /system/lib/modules give 644 permissions and then insmod it :)

After that your mounts and samba shares will work.. If you find any trouble let me know :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nofraxx:
Hi there, which undervolt app is compatible with this kernel?

Incredicontrol isn´t...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
Incredicontrol is working just fine here.... I'm using latest version from Market though...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ascariz:
if you want more deep sleep, set power save bias to 95 in ondemand.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] drew261920:
how?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ascariz:
use setcpu, or System Tuner Pro, or any app that can change kernel setting. i used system tuner pro since it's packed will so many functions..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] drew261920:
setcpu looks many settings i dont know what settings ill make :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
SetCPU doesn't work good on ICS (tested on my Arc S and Archos Gen9 101). Most obvious problem- it doesn't set governor at boot, I don't know if it has impact on battery drain or not. I advise to use other apps instead (NoFrills works fine)

hey guys i have insalled this kernal hopping to get ntfs working but it is not

i have tried quick and slow format and used once the usb and the the sd reader but still no resualt it still forces me to format to fat32

please help:confused::confused::confused:

iam on jj's v2.0 arc night kernal v8 lt18i windows 7
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
You want to format sd card to ntfs? If yes- I don't think it's a good idea- android expects fat (16 or 32) filesystem, also Windoze will not allow you to format it to anything but fat32
[Xperia Arc Android Development] omtay2311995:
maybe you're wrong because it says in the changelog that the kernel supports NTFS

and i was able to format my sd to NTFS it worked fine but when i but it to the phone it just says "you sd is blank or has unsupported file system"

so if you're right than what did the dev mean when he said NTFS supported in the changelog:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
NTFS support most likely refers to external devices (usb hdd, usb flashdisk etc). System is not made to support ntfs SD card
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Erm@c:
jimbo77, please can you answer this question?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
Sorry I must have missed it. Yes it should be #19 I'll try to see if I can add the version number right after the 2.6.32.9-perf line, but by doing this the WiFi breaks so once i figure out how to make the change without breaking WiFi I'll add it :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Erm@c:
Thanks. It mean you left Sony logo? Really Cool!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
You just need to recompile the WiFi modules if you change the kernel name string. ;)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] ascariz:
something is not right. i always connect to internet via usb tether. so, there will be usb debugging and tether notification. after remove usb, the notifications stay there. so, my cpu stay at 122MHz at all night, when i woke up my battery drain 30% for 6 hour. using stock rom here. it's like my phone 'think' the usb is still connected. i flashed back to stock kernel, to see if the problem still occur. will inform later.

edit: nope. not your kernel. it happened in stock too.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShresthasR:
Waiting for release :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] elroysk:
well I see the version V9 can not charge the battery at 100%?

sorry my english
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
No, you still can charge it till it says "Charged 100%", which means 100% of the 98% cap.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
@all sorry for not explaining this before implementing.... But here is a good reading of how to Prolong battery life by capping the max charge amount it can get so as the voltage. You'll be surprised to see that it's not good to let discharge to very low levels and also do not let go always to the top level...

I'll remove if users feel it is useless..

[Xperia Arc Android Development] fluxgfx:
Good morning gents!

As much as I hate to wipe my device and reinstall everything I did so just because I've been reading/hearing good stuff with Jimbo ArcKnight V8 Kernel.

Full OS of Arconium 2.2 re-installed with ArcKnight Kernel V8.

Seems to be working quite well.

I'll be running the Conservative governor and CFG I/O. Will see what this does to me. I'm usually running of SmartAssV2.

Cheers.

Jimbo this goes out to you, WAY TO GO on the Kernel!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
I can only speak for myself, but an extra protection for the battery is welcome.

2% capacity "loss" is minor if it helps with keeping my battery functional for longer.

Conservative works like a charm on this kernel.

I never expected this but performance is incredible, I totally recommend this governor.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] fluxgfx:
I'm totally loving the conservative governor so far and seems to be doing quite good.

I wanted to try something different then DooMKernel ICS.

Definitely am happy after running this for a few hours.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Well it has one drawback for me- card animations in Patience Revisited are lagging ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
I think conservative is for average use and for gaming or heavy tasks I think the tweaked version of Ondemand does the job :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Coolgoly:
Consevative sometimes is laggy here too.I prefer SmartassV2.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShresthasR:
If it extend the battery life, why not to compromise 2%, I love to extend battery life.

I am using ArcKnight Kernel V8 with Arconium ICS 2.2 & SmartassV2 governors with SIO governors. Its doing good for me :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] fluxgfx:
See that's the problem I fall under... I'm in between average and heavy task. Right dead smack in the middle. Probably why I haven't really settle on the governor I want to use.

Every so often I'll switch in between the governors.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
If you're right on the middle try with Ondemand... It is tweaked so you'll get performance and also good battery consumption :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
I guess you ment "low battery consumption"? ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ascariz:
if you can develop like this. really missed my samsung galaxy s..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] fluxgfx:
I'm running with OnDemand for the last 12hours really and as much as I did before and there's a bit of improvement. Let's see how my day at work goes... (it's my all in one trek device for what I do). :P

Soon soon... Xperia S :P
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
Lol Most of the Ideas for my Kernel comes from Mialwe's Midnight Kernel.... And if you notice most of those features are in my kernel as well, obviously not the ones specific for Samsung chips like voodoo color and such..

Anyways v9 is the best so far as per Beta Testers, wait one or two days and you'll see :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ascariz:
then i expect v9 will be superb. :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] fluxgfx:
jimbo77,

Sick, I can't wait to load the V9 kernel. I'm happy with the V8 right now but if your telling us that the V9 is just as pimped. I'm down :P
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Tarzan-:
Looking forward to it though I'm quite happy with what I already have.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chiefy009:
wifi modules link down ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] fluxgfx:
There's no module wifi link for ArcKnight just the img file. That's only thing you need to flash.

If your coming from a different Kernel such as DooMLord I highly recommend you wipe your device and re-install from scratch.

At least that's what I had to do in my case to get the kernel to work correctly. Cheers.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chiefy009:
coming from GB will do full wipe
[Xperia Arc Android Development] fluxgfx:
Yeah if your coming from GB... Flash the kernel, then access recovery, factory reset, install zip.

It should work out good :P
[Xperia Arc Android Development] drew261920:
waiting for v9 :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
ArcKnight Kernel - RC1 is OUT - Grab it in 2nd Post

Changelog:

Wifi range increased (Minimal RSSI now is the 125 original -95) need you to check if ti consumes more battery due the increased range.

Changed Camera Memory Allocation to gain the extra RAM- need you to test if camera works fine

VFS cache pressure changed from 100 to 25 to give Android a little more smoothness.

SCHED_FEAT(GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS) to make Android go a little more faster.

FULLY_CHARGED_AND_RECHARGE_CAP moved from 95 to 90.

Max Voltage of battery Capped at 4100mV for the same battery life extender reason.

.polling_upper_capacity = 96, moved from 100. This is for battery security. Our batteries actually get harmed when it stays to much time at full capacity so this will provide a safety net for our batteries

Moved from SLAB Queue Allocator to SLUB since it is a bit more faster due the block mode transfer information.

Changed the way the phone goes to sleep. SE left it to go to deep sleep but deep sleep SUSPEND power can be implemented so I did and it should try to push the phone into a more deep sleep state.... Obviously needs testing and confirmation of the same.

Changed string name so now you'll have to flash Wifi Modules apart

Added Stand Alone ArcKnight Tweaks in init.d folder that should provide a smoother experience, this are KERNEL Tweaks not ROM Tweaks. - I´m still testing this BTW...

Regarding the Upper limit and CAP to charge and rechager This is the way the phone will behave when left connected.. It will reach 96% and will begin to discharge, and when the phone gets to 90% it will recharge up to 96% again.

I would really like to thank the following people for supporting my work, i wish there where more people like you guys ;) hehehe, i´m still short in my budget :D

*Thomas Heinrich
*Alessandro Finello
*Hanna Schokker
*Ivan Prskalo
*Evgeniy Kuziahmetov
*Michael Rözel

IMPORTANT

For Better user experience and feedback purposes it is recommended to use Conservative and Governor and VR or SIO as IO Scheduler

[Xperia Arc Android Development] jejeh:
Wy you don't name it like ArcKnight Kernel v9 rc1 or something.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
It just for Control purposes.... It's like in CM. They have Release Candidates (RC) and Test Versions....

So now this is a STABLE version so from here ill be doing some test versions (Like V9 - it was closed beta testing) and not all of the will get published and if so they will continue with BETA names :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShresthasR:
WOW gonna try now... :)

Edit: hope you will include Wifi Modules within Kernel in V9

Edit: After flashing RC, wifi signal is too low, can not connect to wifi due to low wifi signal :(

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Coolgoly:
This is a screenshoot of my battery stats.

Green areas are on V8,red is on V9RC1.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ascariz:
no problem. no battery drain. 1%/hour. still not test with HD games. but smoothness, yes it's smooth as my ass skin. can now you release v9?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
Yes, there is an issue that I didn't noticed with the Tweaks file. I mixed them and uploaded one that make changes to both Conservative and Ondemand governors which made them unstable and also made them run at higher frequencies.

Just do a clean install and all should be working fine, I was forced to do so as well.

This is basically V9... Please do a clean install since the changes made to RC from V8 might affect performance specially if you also flashed the tweaks file :s . For me its smooth but I had to do a clean install of everything.

Give it sometime to settle and also if you can do a clean install it will be great. This RC kernel is basically V9 with a slight modification and as per Beta Testers battery life was better than in V8.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Tarzan-:
Jimbo a quick question please;

I'm confused between ArcKnight_RC0 and ArcKnight_RC1.

Which one to flash ? I'm on your V8.

Thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
There is only RC1 :) I think I put a wrong name in the file isn't it? Haha anyways once you flash it it should say ArcKnight RC1 under version name in settings...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] peacekeeper38:
Oiga Mano jimbo77 i was looking for the other file since i saw another version jejeje but now i am clear thnks i am on RC1 and yes its really really good work.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
Thanks for testing :) you see that's what happens when one publish things at 2Am being almost sleep haha I didn't even change Doom lord script for Wifi modules.

Haha :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] peacekeeper38:
Yeah i undesrtand what you mean its difficult but you are doing an amazing job.you should take a rest vecino its to late now.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShresthasR:
Clean installation ! you mean wipe cache / dalvik ? OR should we do factory reset too.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] batwingnz:
always perform a full wipe, sound advice even when not flashing kernels or roms.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chiefy009:
do i flash rc1 with wifi modules ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] LiquidRobotics:
Yes first the RC0.img with fastboot

Then the RC1 Wifi Modules in CWM

[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
I remember gen_scheisskopf talked also about a few Widgets and apps that didn't let the phone go into deep sleep and were draining battery really fast. It was posted like 20~30 posts back... :s
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ascariz:
when you gonna change name RC1 to v9? or not at all? in stock rom, i don't need to do clean install. everything is good.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
Yes, I saw that, but I have no issues with my app setup on stock kernel, so I am trying to find out where the kernel related issue lies. Just charged to 100% and rebooted, I'll report back soon!

now which governer should i use? ondemand doesnt seem to be going to deep sleep most times

that i could only work with scary governer which is a tidbit slower during wakes

[Xperia Arc Android Development] windmoon:
Same as you, after RC-1 no deep sleep

I wipe cahce and davlik also

at the first time no deep sleep, I reboot , then the deep sleep suddenly work

after I use the phone around few hour, the deep sleep not work again

Better battery only show "suspend" use the most

and the android power , show "Android System"

I guess the RC-1 may have some bug make the wakelock and let's the phone can't deep sleep

This never happen on V8

My CPU Gov. set to SmartV2 and sio
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
I'm assuming you've flashed the Addon including the other modules, I'll look into it and of course I'll make Conservative as default governor since it is the best for performance and Battery Life...

Regarding the clock i'll have to check since I shrinked the freq table at 245 MHZ due stability but I think it is totally doable and will help to save more battery...

V3 will include the requested changes and will be out most likely on Sunday Night :)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
Did you do a clean install of the Kernel and ROM? Or did you flashed other WiFi modules like Doom's ones?

I've been using this kernel with no issues at all... My WiFi is strong and stable...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Velcis Ribeiro:
Yes, clean install, flashed kernel first.

But the issue occurs from the first time i used ICS to now, never can fixed, neither WiFix.

It shows "Authenticating...", than show "Saved","Authenticating...", than show "Saved","Authenticating...", than show "Saved","Authenticating...", than show "Saved","Authenticating...", than show "Saved".

All time doing this, in another connection it works great. But the mistake is, WHY in Gingerbread it works goood, and in ICS isn't works?
