Not going into DeepSleep here, and got a silly batman logo on boot.

Going to find something else.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
1.- Thanks for testing.

2.- Check out what app isn't letting your phone go to deep sleep

3.- Silly Boot Logo? You don't like it? Go flash another Custom Kernel...

Thanks!

Here it´s ok just flashed kernel didn´t need to flash modules. Coming from3.3.

Fast as usual. 5*
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Google fetishist:
oh really? dont installed modules but though get USB Mouse, Keyboard AND externem usb storage device support?

did you lost your installed apps or did you leave anything as was as before? no cleaning of system required just installed new kernel over the existing ?

please answer me, this question keeps me from updating

@Jimbo

What is deep sleep? did i have a great feature overlooked ?? :O
[Xperia Arc Android Development] smsconim:
The modules I was talking it's the Wi-Fi ones.

Flashing a kernel Will not erase your applications. But you can use mybackup root to backup your apps.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
So... Did anyone tried the USB-OTG Modules yet?? I just need to know if it's working or not :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] fearless139:
Don't throw silly words here. We're entirely different, u don't like it, but he loves it. I always appreciate all of his work although personally I prefer the previous dark knight logo.

Darkknight_II is the best governor I've ever tried! Thank you, jimbo.

it's Arcknight :p but darkknight sounds cool :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Dark Fable:
Can you create a flashable zip and autoload at boot ? :D Or perhaps just include it in the kernel ?

And will this app work in your kernel ?

Btw I dont have an usb-otg cable to test for you but I was thinking of buying one based on your reply.

Again, can't thank you enough for your work on our arc's kernel. (:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] miqz:
jimbo does you kernel support zRam ?

if yes how i can create zram script and execute that ?

many thanks jimbo
[Xperia Arc Android Development] arhooker:
IO is very slow.

When update to FW3.4

IO is very slow.

I use SD Tools APP to test.

When FW 3.3, SD Card Write is 12~14MB, Read is 15~20MB,

But, when update to FW 3.4, Write is 5~7MB, Read is 5~7MB too.

So, When open swap to SD Card, System is very lag.

I already test all I/O Scheduler, and Governor arcknight_ii and ondemand.

Sorry for my poor English.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
I'll have to ask.. Did you do a full wipe? Remember that i pushed some changes to the Kernel Scheduler and that might be affecting if there were any left overs from the previous version.. For me it is fast and responsive after a clean install of both Kernel and ROM...

BTW what are your specifications?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
Well I haven't received any single comment about those modules, so if users report that they are working properly I can create a flashable zip with autoload feature... But if they are not working properly that will be like a HUGE Fail hahaha...

At the moment it doesn't support Zram, i've been thinking about it but I'm not sure what the performance boost it can give to the Kernel... Let me get my mind fixed on that and probably i can add it later :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Dark Fable:
I've been using 3.4 for quite a few hours now, with arconium 4.0 and a full wipe. Battery life is amazing. o: And especially with arcknight_II kernel it is very smooth.

But since it is a test version, I'd like to point out a few things. Touch scrolling response is weird, if I scroll downwards fast it goes down for a while and then up. o.O Same thing with left and right scrolling in menu.

And I noticed in all ICS kernels and ROMS, the system seems to slow down quite a bit sometimes, freezing and hanging a lot and then back to smoothness in a few minutes. This is very unlike GB. Anyone know a work around for this ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
Thank You!

The slowdowns might be related to the BFS Scheduler... Did you encounter any of this issues with the 3.3 releases?

If not then the issue might be related to the latest BFS ... I'll see if I can updated it since I'm using BFS 313 for 2.6.32 Kernel :S...

Anyways what I'm doing when the system hangs for a moment is to lock and unlock the screen...

That always help, btu I'll see if I can find a fix for it :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Dark Fable:
But I'm using sio scheduler lol. No, I did not encounter any of these issues on 3.3 except deep sleep. Even now there is a very very little lag in unlocking screen. Will patiently wait for your next update. :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
The BFS Scheduler is running in the core of the Kernel it is not related to the IO Scheduler :D ... It basically controls how tasks and processes are allocated, it is not affected by the governor or the IO Scheduler, so if it is not working good all possible combinations of both IO scheduler and governor will have issues :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Dark Fable:
Lmao, I'm such a noob. xD Forgive me.

Oh I forgot to mention that ROMS such as Arconium take a ****load of time to install on 3.4. It stays at 95% forever. This bug was there in 3.1 too but not 3.3. Anyway looking forward to the touch fix as it is driving me crazy. :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hungragezone:
Hi Jimbo, can u tell me what is the main point of I/O scheduler?

What does it affect my phone :p

i'm using noop, but i really don''t know what is it
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
Google is our best friend when it comest to seek of knowledge hahaha

[Xperia Arc Android Development] hungragezone:
i knew it

but i think when i ask someone like u, I can easily understand it than google

can u give me an answer :D

and what I/O scheduler u recommend to use with your ArcKnight Kernel:laugh:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] MaxFTW:
I confirm - weird scrolling and "crazy" touch reaction. There are some lags also.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] darni:
Here too on 3.4 ... 3.3 did not have this weird scrolling.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kickerz14:
Thanks Jimbo my phone got more snappier OC at 1800mhz!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ascariz:
step i made:

1) flash kernel

2) flash stock rom wipe everything except kernel.

3) test everything, wifi hotspot work turn on and off

4) root with cwm.

5) test hotspot, turn on, turn off then freeze.

so, something wrong between your kernel and root.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] h.debnath:
yeah i tried installing 'ARC-Night-ICS-BETA-Modules.zip' just now but the wifi is still grayed out.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
You need to flash Stock WiFi modules from Doom kernel. Remember my kernel is based on stock sources with no changes on strings. Just grab Dooms Stock WiFi modules and the WiFi will work with ny Kernel :)

Or better do a clean install to avoid any unknown issue
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cezarL:
Hmmm...

Battery drain when idle is a bit high, my Arc S lost 12% over 8h last night (with DoomKernel the drain was 7% the other night). I haven't yet gone through a full discharge cycle, we'll see how it behaves after the next recharge.

This was with the kernel settings I posted earlier, WiFi on, Google and Exchange sync on.

Could everyone else comment on their battery consumption?

Please include settings (OC, governor, scheduler, WiFi, sync on/off, etc).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
If you have any battery widgets- disable or uninstall them. In my case CurrentWidget or QuickBattery (or both) were causing power drain.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cezarL:
Thanks for the tip!

I had CurrentWidget installed, but I'll remove it now.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Juztapose:
1.2GHz kernel + arconium v1 = awesome :D:D:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] briandevlin:
Well Jimbo been using your kernel since official ics release, very nice good battery life, but has the annoying problem as doom had for a while, when rebooting into recovery using xcharge it goes mad for about 10seconds then reboots, doom since fixed it in his kernel. Still good to see a new good kernel for the arc. ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cezarL:
Ah, that reminds me:

Would it be possible to update the recovery UI, like with Doom's kernel?

It's annoying as hell to have to go through all the "Are you sure you want to? No-No-No-No... Yes!" lines. A simple one line - No / one line - Yes would make life way easier.

The current UI makes sense on devices with an optical trackpad, but not on Arc / Arc S, where the volume keys are rather hard to press, IMHO.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] briandevlin:
+1
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
Thanks for the Super TIP! :D... I was getting mad because I couldn't find any issue with the WiFi related to WiFi hostpot. I'm able to replicate the issue so I'll try to find a solution within the next days! Again a big fat Thank You!

@briandevlin: Let me try to see if I can replicate,I've never tried to modify a recovery image and it will be a good challenge and reading :D, Thanks for that... I'm gonna start working on it right away!.

As for the volume key press I know is a total pain to use so what i do is to push the menu key, it will act as the volume down key in recovery :)

@All: Thanks for testing and letting me know the bugs, yesterday I was looking at some new governors but need more reading to finally port them to my Kernel :). I think new version will be ready by Thursday if I can compile those governors...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Did you try replacing wifi modules with the ones that were compiled with kernel? Unless of course they are in zImage. My experience- even small change in kernel sources may cause problems with precompiled modules

Two options:

a) easier: grab Doomlord's modified recovery from his kernel and include it in your initramdisk (maybe touch recovery? :) )

or

b) harder: grab Xperia recovery sources (sorry, don't know where they are) and modify recovery_ui.c (most likely, it has been quite some time since I did such thing). But to compile from sources you will need full android repo (CM will do, recovery doesn't depend on system that much)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
I thinkn I'm gonna go for B for now... If i find to be too hard then i'm switching to A, of course if DoomLord allows me to use his ramdisk as a base...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
One recovery will be enough (in his GB kernel there are three) ;)

Tapatalked from Xperia Arc S
[Xperia Arc Android Development] briandevlin:
Go for A Jimbo, It's open source, Doom didn't write it, and it works. ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
He modified it (vanilla CMW is already included)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] briandevlin:
Ye he modified an OS prog, not his copyright. Although a pm to use it would be good manners. :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
The easiest way is to ask for his permission but i want to learn just as I'm doing now with Kernel Development... Give me a few days to see if I can do it by myself and if not I'll ask Doom's permission to use one of his recoveries :)...

Thanks for the support guys! It feels really great!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] LiquidRobotics:
I use arconium ICS v1.0 with DoomKernel, but i will give your Arc-Night-Kernel a try and test it. :)

only issue touch scrolling

have any one experience problem with Viber app?

every time I comeback to use this kernel it asks me about a thousand times to reactivate my account!

I khow its weird, at first I thought its a rom related issue.. but iv been using Trinity kernel and others with no issue

another question:

is thers a way to put "arcknight II" governor as default? so we dont have to use no-frills cpu control

thank u for such great work.. well done!

[Xperia Arc Android Development] xtacy!:
Read the previous pages before you post. This was already addressed.

The WiFi modules are the same for both 3.3 & 3.4. He hasn't changed the kernel string so it remains compatible with the latest test version.

It's you're coming from 3.3, then you don't need to flash the WiFi module.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
First hardcore test for Kernel 3.3: I started with 95% and went to a festival - GPS on, GSM data on. I took 150 photos, position tags activated, went online few times and looked at pictures or the camera, used Google Maps. After seven hours I lost only 50% of the battery. I think this is not bad! Thanks for the great kernel. :good:

Where is the difference if I use 3.4 or 3.3 with 1400/245 MHz? None? I won't update to 3.4 because there are no advantages for me, or am I wrong?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] luisalhosilva:
That looks great Daniel what Rom and kernel are you using? And what are the cpu settins?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:

*Is CPU already undervolted in kernels?

*Where to download latest FastBoot flasher? (link please)

*Can I use FlashTool instead?

*Do I need to flash WiFi modules if I'm using stock SE .431, or those are for people coming from DoomLord kernel?

It might be related to the BFS scheduler as well, do you think is possible to take a logcat when you're installing the ROM through CWM? That will help me to determine what's causing the issue...

To put OTG usb-storage working.

Put the modules in system/lib/modules

Install Terminal IDE

type insmod /system/lib/modules/usb-storage.ko " don´t forget to put a space after insmod"

type lsmod and see if the module is live

install Q5 USB Memory manager, on block service chose sd1, and on system format vfat for a usb pen fat32, mount system file, go to file explorer and you should have the directory usb_drive with your files.

just hav flashed back to 3.3 stock .. its so much better than 3.4..

I dont know how but it feels so smooth, more stable and more saver to the battery.. no such lag of waking up the phone if u set the mini cpu frq to 245 mhz

aside from wierd touch in 3.4, thers also a huge different of smoothness in the stock browser.. everything in the browser as well as the whole system become so lagy even if u try to check the state bar -scroll down- wher 3.3 is flying so fast

I think 3.3 is the one that truly so close to the perfection!
