[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
Ok Guys as promised! Test Versions are here and are ready to be tested by YOU!

If you've been following this thread and read the lastest posts you should know that ArcKnight Kernel RC3 was giving lots and lots of troubles, just to mention a few:

Massive Slowdowns

Phone Freezes

Battery Drain (?)

So I thought that all this issues may be somehow related and reworked the code from Scratch in order to have them solved. During a conversation with Iridaki this week I came accross to the idea of doing to Versions of the Kernel, one based on Stock CPU driver and one based on the CUSTOM cpu driver with OverClock possibilities.

The features of both versions are as follows:

STOCK CPU BASED KERNEL:

Two Way Call Recording Patch

0% Battery Friendly with latest fixes.

Latest Adreno Sources patched.

KGSL power Management Tweaks. - Super Smooth UI :D

Wifi Voltage Lowered

Charging power increased, now charging from USB ports should be a bit faster :D

LCD Panel voltage Lowered - It should use less battery when screen is on :D

CPU Driver based on stock .431 sources, this means 1024 HZ for Arc users and 1400 HZ for Arc S Users...

Removed VDD Support - Adding this will modify the clock source and hence loose the benefit of the "Stock" clock... I'll add it back if everything goes well

Voltages lowered to a safe range for all frequencies - Though I can't remember now what values I've set hehehe...

Tiny RCU instead of TREE RCU

SLQB Allocator instead of SLAB

CFQ, SIO and VR IO Schedulers modified and optimized fo Flahs Memory Devices..

Memory Allocations tweaks like Kernel Granurality and Vm Dirtinesss

ArcKnight CPU Governor modified to work with the NEW CPU Table, I know it was slow the first time but TRUST me it if smooth and fast and it will save your battery better than ondemand and intellidemand :D

OverClock Based Kernel:

Two Way Call Recording Patch

0% Battery Friendly with latest fixes.

Latest Adreno Sources patched.

KGSL power Management Tweaks. - Super Smooth UI :D

Wifi Voltage Lowered

Charging power increased, now charging from USB ports should be a bit faster :D

LCD Panel voltage Lowered - It should use less battery when screen is on :D

CPU Driver based on my own modified sources, it is the same as per the previous versions of ArcKnight Kernel

Tiny RCU instead of TREE RCU

SLQB Allocator instead of SLAB

CFQ, SIO and VR IO Schedulers modified and optimized fo Flahs Memory Devices..

Memory Allocations tweaks like Kernel Granurality and Vm Dirtinesss

ArcKnight CPU Governor modified to work with the NEW CPU Table, I know it was slow the first time but TRUST me it if smooth and fast and it will save your battery better than ondemand and intellidemand :D

ArcKnight_II Governor

I mostly reworked part of the code and now the Governor should be smoother than before, our tests with Iridaki shown a boost on performance, based on benchmarking apps along with great smoothness plus really good battery life.

Please be so kind to test and if you like it recommend it :D...

Downloads?

Test versions will be added to 3RD post, I'll remove the ScreenShots.

FeedBack?

If you want to provide appropriate feedback please add the following at the beggninig of your post (Below is an example):

Phone Model: LT15

Kernel Version: Stock

Max Frequency: 1200 MHZ

Min Frequency: 122 MHZ

Governor: ArcKnight_II

IO Scheduler: SIO

Network: 3G/2G

That way you'll be providing me a good insight of how the phone is behaving under what circumstances.

I'll greatly appreciate the feedback specially of the ArcKnight Governor in a constructive manner.

Have fun Testing guys!
