Download "Disable Auto brightness" from Play Store.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] steakhutzeee:
It is the only solution? I do not remember if in the Hybrid version 4.4 there was an option but I suppose so, since I've never had this problem .. there is some string to change, without my having to install an application? Another problem, only now i realize that there's no retro-illumination for the keys down, i noticed that the directory of the leds is changed a little, i modified my script in userinit.d, but nothing, they doesn't start at boot
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kingozzo:
In stock ics you can't Disable auto brightness at all, you need that app.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] steakhutzeee:
I use cyano 9.1, is the same? However i installed the app and solved the problem. Now i've two other problems:

1- On 4.4 I used a script to reduce the brightness of the two buttons at the bottom. The directory of the file to edit was "/sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness", but now each key has its own directory "sys/class/leds/button-backlight-rgb1/brightness" and "sys/class/leds/button-backlight-rgb2\brightness". The two files 'brightness' are set to 0. If I manually modify them to 25, the keys work perfectly as I will, of course, but when I reboot the value back to 0. Then I create a script .. just do not work. I tried with SManager, but I noticed that looks for the file "sys/class/leds/button-backlightrgb1/brightness", without the hyphen between 'button-backlight' and 'rgb1', even though I checked the script is correct ... same thing with 'rgb2'.

2- This is something that I've always had with this kernel, even with version 4.4, which is the non-operation of the proximity sensor, or when approach the phone to the ear, the screen does not turn off automatically, and I am forced to manually lock through top button. This is obviously very little comfortable.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gocegi:
Ok just flashed this baby.

Mount usb in recovery works as it should.

Will se how it goes, over this few days.

Prior to this, I was using 4.6, and beside USB not mounting in recovery, I also noticed a slightly faster battery drain.

Hope that is fixed with 4.7.

Cheers

I charge the battery to 100%, take out the battery for a minutе, turn on the phone and I have 94% of the battery, do so 10 consecutive cycles, nothing changes.

plz,fix it, i like this kernel.

anyone can upload lww_mesa_v4.5b1.img 4.5b?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mdfzhi:
i've compiled and uploaded 4.8b1 for all four devices.

changes from 4.7:

1- compiled using updated linaro gcc 4.7.4-2013.11

2- rewrote ramdisk init script to follow cm method. doing so, i'm still unable to make it boot dual recovery thus this only contain cwm.

3- revert backport dynamic memory writeback from kernel 3.x, it causing freeze with cwm. using older dynamic memory writeback that works.

4- changed MSM_PMEM_SF_SIZE in boardconfig, slightly lower it making more useable ram, 366mb now.

5- enabled triple buffer.

sir anonymous :) can you please add the smartassh3 on your next update, i find it so battery friendly governor. now im testing your 4.8b1 :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] RaphaelHam:
Why we need dual recovery? We only need cwm i think, also, i wish u take much care for CM10 :) . and it will very nice if u can make the available ram 386Mb, i dnt know how, but i hope u can.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mdfzhi:
Smartass3 ia just a renamed smartass2, nothing fancy or special about it. Use the default interactive, is from lernel 3.0. Much newer and better than the old smartass.

Its not some fairy dust magic trick to allocate more ram. Many thing need to be considered. Every byte is counted, too low and phone wont even boot.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iPusak Gaoq™:
TRWP is much better recovery than CWM....if has a few better advantage than CWM have right now...beside TWRP is touch recovery so it is much more easier to use but for me the best about TRWP is its backup compression...TWRP can compress nandroid backup 60% more than CWM...that really help saving much need memory storage on our SD card....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
This ! Appreciate your work .
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mdfzhi:
actually newer cwm do have backup compression ability too.

can't remember exactly from which version, but not on 6.0.2.7.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iPusak Gaoq™:
i have notice that too but latest CWM got a lot of bug on our devices (mainly mass storage didn't work in CWM) and they remove some of the important option in CWM such as fix permissions....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mdfzhi:
yes. thats what i hate with cwm. all flashable zip will definitely compatible with it while some failed with twrp but it constantly changing, not for better but removing features.

newer cwm doesn't have poweroff option and partition sdcard. newer highend phone probably doesn't need partititon sdcard anymore due to already large internal but on older phone as ours its a must.

4.8b1 kernel is working great on my lww with xnxt rom but some times device suddenly restarts . dont know whats wrong? i am also using cronmod int2ext v2 scrpit which is working fine . same happened with earlier version also .
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] RaphaelHam:
I think u have to work on CM 11 kernel, bcoz i know it will be very famous. Нɑɑнɑɑнɑɑ :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
There are some other reasons for not using SD partitioning in recovery...

If accidently the internal partition is repartitioned ,it will become instant brick ..

Considering how many emmc are present ,it becomes pretty difficult to differentiate between our phones and newer phones...

It's not about need but about avoiding unnecessary bricks...

I can't find 4.7 kernel for XMP ( i'm using ICS) Please help me! Thanks so much!

My impressions on 4.7:

everything worked Ok, usb in cwm, everything....

except the battery drain was enormous :)

I just flashed 4.8b1, will report in a few days
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MrMateczko:
I have a weird problem:

I'm on stock .587, and I had Mesa 4.3 before. I've flashed the newest Lupus for stock ICS, didn't like it, and went back to Mesa 4.3.

Now the keypad app FC, no matter what. It's the only app which FC.

I haven't done any wipes, I simply flashed via fastboot, and nothing else.

Should I delete its data, or wipe cache/dalvik cache from recovery?

Problem solved, disabled the Smart Search app, works like a charm.

Request

Hi , after thinking a little bit , i want to tell something : what do you think about making a 2.6.32.X kernel just for kikat ( or just for jb 4.2 or 4.3 ) because it's the only linux kernel optimized for our phone's hardware ( 4.1 with 2.6.32.X kernel get 6000 pts in benchmark against 5500 pts or less on 4.2 or 4.3 with 3.4.X kernel ) all thanks for its hardware optimization , in addition of fully working wifi , fm radio and fantastic battery life and no keyboard bug on mango no wifi hotspot problem also quick boot time ... , i think that fixing all those bugs on 3.4 kernel is nearly impossible , however making 2.6 fully compatible with newer versions is at least easier , with severel patches and driver updates , or i m wrong ?? , and the idea of avoiding hybride versions is to avoid expected bugs that the modifications will cause. You already worked on booting android 4.2 with v4.4 hybrid , haven't you ? why mike hasn't used the 2.6.32 then ?? He said it will need a lot of work to make it boot ( or work ?) but 3.4 wont need all that , and he said , if i'm not wrong , that he will be greatfull if someone get a good 2.6.32 kernel with roms that he's developing , sometimes changes like this helps a lot !

Thanks for your comprehention , and i hope you make a good step any way as the v 2.6.32.X main developer :D

theres swap2system, swap2cache and zram script in rage kernel thread, use those. but use only one tho, dont use all three.

just put it init.d folder and reboot. the zram script need to be modify abit, open with text editor and read about uncommenting to activate 64mb zram.

i'm pretty sure button backlight when booting were controlled by some script in ramdisk, not by kernel itself.

but why u want to disable it? turning it off wont save much battery that u would even notice.

that panorama thingy that people rarely use costs around 20mb of ram so i think i wont reenable it.

Can't take backup in CWM

Hey Sir I'm on v4.7 now and I have some strange problems with cwm. There's a minor problem that if I back up system or data, it's not shoving how much it already backed up (but that's not problem for me). And there's a very strange problem: I was taking a Nandroid backup, everything went okay but when it wrote "generating md5 sum" the phone rebooted. After that, I wanted to take another backup, but when it wrote backing up data it stopped there and after 5 mins the phone just rebooted. And this happened to me the next four times, too. That means, I cannot take backup. Then I wanted to take a backup in TWRP, but I can't boot there (when I press the power button, nothing happens the phone just boots normal).

I'd really appreciate your help maybe v4.8b could solve my problem?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mdfzhi:
the loading bar in cwm aren't moving when doing backup or restore is bug from cwm itself, nothing much i can do about it because it wasn't even compiled by me, got it from cm kernel.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mdfzhi:
u mean init.d script doesn't work for u? that's weird. it should be working, busybox run-parts for invoking init.d sysinit is called from ramdisk using busybox in /sbin, which also in ramdisk.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] BealeStBluesBoy:
Yes, is there, but for some reason doesn't work. And one question, I want to make an init script for busybox, because I prefer Supercharguer, Kak, and other scripts to use busybox in /system/xbin
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mdfzhi:
then just point the script to directly use it, ie usually on script that got

#!/system/bin/sh

then just change to

#!/system/xbin/busybox sh

and any command in the script that uses busybox applet. change it to use your preferred busybox directly, ie

rm, cp, cat to /system/xbin/busybox rm, /system/xbin/busybox cp, /system/xbin/busybox cat etc....

I have some issues with phone and I dont know whether it has to do something with the ROM or kernel.

whenever I watch youtube, play game or viewpic in quickpic (all these things are in fullscreen) and phone goes to sleep (for example power button is pressed and screen goes off) and when phone is waked up it shows slide lock, instead of my pattern lock and slide lock does not work, I have to pull battery. Does anybody have an idea how to fix it ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mdfzhi:
i've compiled and uploaded 4.8b3 for all four devices.

changes from previous 4.8b2 are:

1- added some fix to sio io scheduler, taken from sioplus.

2- added uksm.

3- addded uksm status script in ramdisk.

uksm is disabled by default. to enable it just do

echo 1 > /sys/kernel/mm/uksm/run

or create init.d script

to disable just

echo 0 > /sys/kernel/mm/uksm/run

enabling it might make battery drain slightly higher so its a good idea to use screen on/screen off profile to enable and disable it based on screen profile. i'm using llama+secure settings :)

to view uksm status, just do

uksm_log.sh

and it'll produce output something like this
