I'll have to check but c'mon it won't kill you to use 1 more extra app for it :)... For example you can use setxperia (Last time i checked it was working) or you can use incredicontrol + voltage control etc... The Kernel experience is worth it!

I'm glad you find it useful and you Like iT :)

Is my personal goal to not use as much as I can DoomLord's sources or files. If I use Doom's files it will be like a Dooms kernel all the way with just a few new governors and different logo.

My aim is to give you guys another "Kernel Flavor" and that's why I don't like the same kernel for the same device using the very same sources!, mine is different.!

I try to port things from vanilla linux and other devices like the SGS and such...

SetCPU actually doesn't do that, but Voltage Control does and it can create a init.d Script so you don't have 1 more process being started at boot time :D...

@ALL: Update is ready!

I a moment I'll publish Joker Edition_BFS... :D It will send you straight to Arkham asylum once you see it's smoothness hahaha...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Gajba:
Sorry! My bad. The new version of SetCPU now supports I/O Scheduler setting.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
ArcKnight Kernel Joker_Edition_BFS

The Kernel is not COMPATIBLE with Official .431 Firmware - Any custom kernel is at the moment! I'm aware of this and I'm trying to find a solution

Changelog:

BFS (Brain F*** Scheduler) is completely integrated into the Kernel.

BFS is now default Scheduler insted of CFS (Linux Default Scheduler)

BFQ IO Scheduler optimized for Flash Devices

Removed lots of Debug Code from Config file

WiFi modules reworked, now they are way slimer than before. I've managed to reduce them from 5MB's to 404kB :D :D

Kernel should be faster than before due to the debug code removed.

Kernel now has the most optimized configuration for performance (SLQB, BFS, BFQ and Tiny RCU)

I completely recommend you to do a full wipe and install everything from Scratch, I flashed it on top of an existing ROM and it lagged a lot, so i flashed stock .562 and then my Kernel wiped everything out and then flashed the ROM and now it is Flying!!!

Please if you download the new version just make sure to leave feedback for me ok?

BFQ + Conservative + BaseBand 64 are my recommended settings but feel free to use any of your liking and provide feedback on your settings ok? Thanks!

Downloads are in Second Post as Always!

[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
Well it doesn't work in Official Firmware .431. I think I already stated that before?

It is a problem that most of the Custom kernels face at the moment and we are trying to find a solution...

I'll add it to the change log again to avoid such problems.

Thanks for sharing though :)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
I personally find this baseband to be the more stable out there and it also gives me better coverage.

But as I said it is my recommendation but you can use it as per your liking :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Boywunda44:
I've finally got my ROM set up the way I like.

How about this?

Nandroid backup ROM, Flashing .562, then kernel, then instead of flashing ROM, restore Nandroid backup?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
You can try but if it starts lagging you should consider a clean install :)

@jimbo77: Do u have developed any kernel for 2.3.4?:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
I tried but never could get Wifi to work so I left it aside. Besides almost everyone is on ICS at the moment so I don't think it will be so relevant :)

Thanks for the sources Link! I Tomorrow I'll start working on it, today I'm off from work and Germany plays against Netherlands so EURO Mode is on hehehe...

@LiquidRobotics: I hope the National Mannschaft defeats Netherlands today :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Dark Fable:
I'm getting battery bugs when OC@1.8 Ghz, like one moment the battery will be 80% an the next it goes to 1% and phone shuts down. When I charge it, it goes back to 80% instantly. I tried a fresh flash and everything. :(

Thanks for the kernel. I'm using intellidemand + noop + bb72

im on jj's hybrid rom 3.1 with forced gpu rendering.

Everything is very smooth and goes without problem. I haven't tested battery life yet, but I feel good about it.

However, I have left the phone idle for ~1.5 hours today and I assume it had entered deep sleep. But when I woke the phone up, it was extremely laggy and returned to norm after a reboot. I am not sure if it was just a coincidence or anything else, but this also happened on Xarc kernel, probably I didn't realize what bad thing happened. :eek:

Also, i know you have a modified conservative governor in this kernel, i think conservative isn't a good name as this word doesn't mean performance :p so if you could give it a name as stylish as smartass, intellidemand, i think it would be more appealing for ppl to use. (Just some thoughts out of the topic :D)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bmwbasti:
Hi Jimbo,

please don't take this as an attack against you or your kernel.

I'm using it for a few hours now (and before i flashed my Arc for about 15 times with different kernels and roms in ~4h :D ) and i'm fairly impressed :)

I don't "trust" this coservative governor so i'm using a combination off smartass2 and BFQ and they do their job very well.

Now i'm on JJ's rom and this combination does very well together, too :)

I didn't try it but i hope that with "Joker edition" + JJ the annoying battery drain is finally solved.

Yesterday night i was on "Joker edition" + Arconium 3c and deactivating Wifi caused in draining 40% battery in 3h :(

Regarding your answer i have a short story that descripes the situation very well i think:

My first car (yes it's veeeeery long time ago ;) ) had two keys: one for (un)locking the door and one for ignition. Of course it didn't kill me to have to use two keys but it was way less comfortable then only having to use on key or in our case one app ;)

And i thought that you are happy off getting feedback and suggestions and that's why i posted it ;)

That takes me to another point: the recovery. I don't know how much work it is but please please please add an option to shutdown from recovery instead of only having the reboot option.

Kind regards

Basti
[Xperia Arc Android Development] datagubben:
But I want new kernel for LT15 :)

Don't go to Gemany, please make for us (.431) instead...

Ok, I will change my signature picture, if you can make it. :p:rolleyes:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] LiquidRobotics:
Thanks for the Support, I can hardly wait! :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] arpith.fbi:
when can we expect the next update fully based on .431? :) :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
To be honest around Friday or Saturday morning my time hehe... Tomorrow will be a bit busy at work so I won't have to much time to port things over....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] arpith.fbi:
take your time friend :)..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
I did experienced the same issue as you, but it could be a problem with Intellidemand code but will confirm that within the next days..

I know the feeling and NO I won't take that personal, in fact I do appreciate the constructive feedback :)

The Wifi problem could be related to the sources let's see if it can get fixed with new sources...

As for the recovery I can't compile it so if people don't like this probably will have to switch to another one, but though I'll have to ask DooMLoRD for his permission

Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate it
[Xperia Arc Android Development] heihei_ivan:
maybe, because it seems that this also happened when I was testing xarc kernel, probably related to the governor itself.

also, i found that the cpu is capped at 1.0GHz if i select ondemandx (even if I have OC options in SetCPU)

and now im try smartassV2:D

P.S. after i posted this, this becomes the #666 in the thread. LOL :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bmwbasti:
Hi Jimbo,

thanks for your reply :)

Don't take my feedback to serious because the points are only for more comfort and don't really matter the usability or stability of your (great) Rom :)

I "fixed" the battery drain now (until somebody can really precisely say where it comes from) by don't deactivate Wifi :D

Costs some battery but at least the drain is gone ;)

Just two things that i mentioned:

Is it intended that the charging symbol (when the phone is off) doesn't ever get completely filled? I charged it for hours but it keeps "hanging" at the last step.

And the second thing: Could you please make the battery/charging symbol some kind of bigger? It's sooooooooo tiny that i can't see it :D :D :D

Kind regards

Basti
[Xperia Arc Android Development] LiquidRobotics:
I think you post in the wrong thread, this is a kernel thread not a rom thread, your questions need to be asked in the thread of your rom :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bmwbasti:
Hmmpf, i thought that battery thing is kernel based when the phone is off :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] heihei_ivan:
I think you phone is running Arconium ICS 2.4, right? (as stated in your signature)

Such battery drain is actually a bug in ICS 4.0.3. As Acronium is a stock-based ROM, any bugs in stock firmware would show up in the stock-based custom ROM. This bug is already addressed fixed in the 4.0.4 release.

Regards

Ivan
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bmwbasti:
No, my phone isn't running Arconium 2.4 anymore.

But i don't update my signature regulary as i would have to change it every few hours the last days ;)

And no, i don't believe that this issue is fixed. Ok, i can't say it for shure for the releaes versions of 4.0.4 but in the beta ones it's definitly still there.

I tried almost every Rom based on 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 with every kernel and every combination had the drain. And strangely every combination had it different then the other. One had it when the phone didn't get rebooted after unpluging the charger, the other had it while starting with activated Wifi and deactivating it without rebooting and so on.

As i said above i don't know how it looks like with the official released Rom and kernel but hte beta ones have the drain. And they have it all ;)

Joker edition is running nice and smooth, but the battery drain is just too high. I've lost 10% in 6 hours over night (the phone was in deep sleep and everything was turned off except GSM, and CPU is undervolted). Other than that the kernel is very good, so keep up the good work jimbo
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mr.alawi:
Hi Jimbo ^_^

just want to give you my feedback about kernel RC2.2 Joker Edition

and i must say WELL DONE !!!

it's very smooth and light

and Deep Sleep on this kernel is really really good i can say if i left my phone in deep sleep for a whole day i would loose only 10%

here is a screen shot while my phone was on deep sleep while (Wifi is on all day)

i have apps like ( Facebook,Twitter 2 accounts,Gmail,Google+,Instagram,whatsapp and skype)

now i'll come to con about this Kernel

if let say you stayed chatting on Whatsapp for 40 mins or an hour the battery will drain very fast and thats only with Wifi on ..i haven't check how it is on 3G

don't know why i got that gab which made me loose alot of battery in few mins

here is another screenshot

i really liked your Kernel and i really hope to see much improvement on this Kernel

and with your kernel it made me really happy that i moved to ICS :D

thanks again ^_^
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ArcMan09:
Yeah I Also Suffered From Battery Drain.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iambroken:
I had BFS for one day and went back to classic 2.2 joker edition. The thing is that since that change my phone froze three times.. i had to take out the battery.

I did not perform a full wipe, but i did wipe all the caches when i was changing kernel. Did anyone expirience that? Any cure? :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
This may be weird or stupid but can I see a screenshot of the boot animation of the kernel? Just asking. I like stylish boot animation. :)

smsconim

iambroken

Specially LiquidRobotics for all the help through the day to find some fixes to latest bugs

@Testers: You'll have to download this new version, some minor fixes were done today so you'll have to update :D

ChangeLog:

Merged with Latest .431 Sources - Thanks Sony for the Update

Added CleanCache Driver

Introduce of ArcKnight Governor

Updated BFQ IO scheduler for smoothness

Updated BFS Scheduler - The old one was causing some weird issues and freezes.

Minor bugfixes that I don't actually recall hahaha...

ArcKnight_Governor:

The ArcKnight Governor is intended to provide some average to good performance while also providing some good battery life usage. The phone will step up to higher cpu freqs when cpu load is heavy but will decrease to the lower ones faster than Ondemand and all other Ondemand based governors.

The governor is a modified version of Conservative but with better performance.

IMPORTANT!!! FOR .431 STOCK USERS

If you want to use ArcKnight Kernel RC3 with your Stock .431 firmware you'll have to do as follows:

Flash ArcKnight Kernel RC3 via Fastboot

Flash Stock .431 firmware through Flashtool marking the "Exclude Kernel" option

Reboot your device and you'll have no FC's at all.

Support:

I was planning to move from Mediafire to another file hosting service, one with better download speeds and such and came accross THIS site.

A lot of XDA Devs are already using it and it has great Speeds and no download limits BUT in order to have full site experience I'll have to pay $20.00 which I don't have at the moment so I was thinking that if you guys can help me out with some donations in order to buy the license and then all of us can benefit out of it :D.

ArcKnight Kernel RC3 working in JJ v3.1 ROM
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bmwbasti:
Only a short feedback because i'm really tired ;) :

Flashing went without problems.

The ArcKnight governor seems quite well and does his job (as far as i could test until now) quite good and performs (almost) identically to my loved SmartassV2 governor.

Only the bfq i/o won't be my first choice. In combination with every governor i tested it performs way worse then sio. Scrolling between the homescreens is laggy with bfq and immediatly smooth when switching from bfq to sio.

Tested on Arconium 4.0. Did no full wipe only flashed kernel and Wifi modules cause i set up my Arc ~30 times the last few days :D

Currently using your rc3 kernel and congrats...it is really rock solid and no probs at all by now with jj's rom. I'm not going TO try fxp125 just thanks TO your kernel. ;-)

Said this, can I make a personal request?? Personally I hate batman, and I don't think it is anyhow related TO your kernel...so...maybe couldn't some imgs like this be better for kernel boot??

At least is how I would represent this solid as a knight kernel!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
That's interesting. I got some freezes on stock MooDeD, I even had to re-flash the ROM because my phone was stuck on Xperia logo, however on AOKP MooDeD I haven't experienced those problems (yet). I'm not sure if it's kernel related or if I screwed up something while restoring the apps (fresh install of 90.0). All of that happened with ArcKnight RC3.
