that would be great. cm9 and aokp experience has enhanced because of farenheith.

Ok v8 is done. I just didnt have time to post it on xda and im now at work.

So to save me testing it further when i go home need 1or2 people to test a couple of things to speed up the release.

That way if anythings not working I can fix it when i get home and have it posted by tonight.

From what ive used of it so far its the smoothest/fastest version yet. First 2 posters will get links to test.
[Xperia Play Android Development] MGSBigBoss:
I can test if you'd like

I'm going to unlock my play and install Paranoid Android so i gotta install that first but as it's 1st time i'm quite scared and dunno how to... First, which version of this kernel should i download?
[Xperia Play Android Development] thi3um:
lupus v7 720 ( Impossible to boot with v7 480), work fine for me. dont forget the wifi fix after flashing the rom.
[Xperia Play Android Development] GoJo ^^:
Ok but tell me, how do i flash those files..? Which recovery should i install (touch if possible)? Bootloader unlocked, i'm ready!

Ok i got it, i installed the 720P kernel via flashtool however when i reboot and press back key, i see LUPUS icon then nothing..?

Flashed v8, how u get into recovery? ended up in aroma browser

nvm got in by pressing back button.

Hope the wifi fix is working as I couldnget it to work with darkforest kernels

what is the aroma broaswer for?

Edit: wifi still not working with fix

using cm9 offcial rom (latest nightly)
[Xperia Play Android Development] wedgess:
You MUST be doing something wrong ive never had a problem with wifi on my kernels on the play.

Do it manually even with a root explorer.

Go to root of phone go into system/lib/modules and delete bcm4329.ko.

Then copy the bcm4329.ko from my wifi.zip thats on your sdcard and copy it into system/lib/modules

Sent from my GT-I9300 On Official JB
[Xperia Play Android Development] ermacwins:
Ok thanks will try. Is your fix specific to your kernel?

Do all kernels have broken wifi but need a fix?
[Xperia Play Android Development] wedgess:
Its the modules for wifi, wifi is not broken but if u dont have the module u wont have wifi, these zips are simply giving u the module. Each PLAY kernel uses a kernel specific bcm4329.ko for that kernel ONLY, so u cant use a different module on a different kernel.

Still waiting for your help.....
[Xperia Play Android Development] olokos:
Alright, this kernel was working for me flawlessy until yesterday.

I'm trying to connect to my own wi-fi and i can't...

All i have is "connecting" then it does not connect connecting again and that's like a connecting loop...

Ofc i flashed kernel, wifi modules, reflashed it and still nothing.

Sometimes the kernel won't pass to the vibration phase. It's just turning on and off itself till it boot (about 3 times)

Wifi has worked earlier...

Great. Now i don't even have reception of GSM. It says "no service"..

//EDIT Same thing happens on original kernel. Could you help me somehow? :<

//EDIT 2 Wedgess JB and Turbo Kernel for JB still the same thing...

Must be something to do with your device. Flash back a ftf a try from scratch. Then let me know

Which one should i flash? I'll try with .64 but it's hard to find it :D Can't find it. Ima flash .62.

Flashing R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_(1253-4437)

Weird. At first attempt without changing router settings it didnt worked, i made wifi opened and it worked i reverted to the previous wi-fi protection and it's working. Weird but thanks dude ;)

Although i've found bug in your recovery. When I choose wipe dalvik cache and then look at the log it says

(...)/mmcblk0p2 on /sd-ext failed: Invalid argument

(...)/data/dalvik-cache/ no such file or directory

(...)/sd-ext/dalvik-cache/

It happened on the aokp milestone 6 and happens again and it doesnt wipe anything from the dalvik. When I'll flash it again I'll let you know where the dalvik-cache is in aokp.

Weird but it is indeed in data/dalvik-cache/ O.o

Just installed this for FXP152 since the FXP kernel isn't booting anymore. Anyone have deep sleep issues with this kernel? It's been on for 4 hours now, and sitting on the charger for an hour, and CPU Spy is reporting that deep sleep is still an unused state.

I didn't mess with any of the governors or schedulers.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Installed better battery stats. It's reporting that I've got a kernel wakelock on "event5-143". This is pretty clearly what's keeping the phone from sleeping, all the other wakelocks only occur for seconds, and this one lasts the entire time the screen is off. Any ideas what this could be?
[Xperia Play Android Development] wedgess:

LuPuSv9 Released see post #2 for changelog

Wifi modules included (no need to flash)
[Xperia Play Android Development] farenheith:
Awesome update dude. I tested myself and the battery life is greatly improved with v9.

If possible, consider for a future release use something like the CosmicDan custom partitions like you did in lupusJB. That would be very great too.
[Xperia Play Android Development] RozenTensai:
V9 doesn't boot for me. v8 works fine, tough.

Maybe because i'm on baseband 77? :confused: (I flashed one of those MIUI ROMs out there before)
[Xperia Play Android Development] superman1122:
I was on v7. Today I flashed to v9, it booted ok, but wifi was grayed out. So I tried to roll back to v7, now it's stuck at Lupus logo and kept rebooting. I tried putting back v9, still stuck at Lupus logo and kept rebooting. Please help, thanks.
[Xperia Play Android Development] wedgess:
Reflash v9 and using root explorer go to /system/lib/modules and delete bcm4329.ko, then go to root of device there is a modules folder with bcm4329.ko, copy that do /system/lib/modules

Sent from my GT-I9300 On Official JB
[Xperia Play Android Development] superman1122:
Ok, I guess this is for fixing the wifi. But the bigger problem now is it will not boot completely. After putting v9 back, it will only boot to Lupus logo, then it reboots, I don't even see the Android boot animation. I can get into CWM Recovery though.
[Xperia Play Android Development] farenheith:
Do a nandroid backup and then factory reset, then reinstall the ROM. If boots then try to recover just you data. Flash kernel doesn't corrupt the system, I'm supposing you did something else
[Xperia Play Android Development] superman1122:
That's what I thought too. This is what I did:

Flash v9, wifi didn't work.

Flash v8, flash v8 wifi fix.

Then it got into Lupus logo boot loop.

Flash v9 again, still boot loop.

Anyways, I did a nandroid restore and flashed to v9 again. Now it's working.

Thanks!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mogul345:
Hey, I just flashed v9 over v8, still getting no deep sleep. Still seeing event5-143 in my kernel wakelocks when my screen is off. Any ideas guys? Do I have to do a totally clean flash?

Just some advice, my cm9 wouldnt boot when i wiped system.
[Xperia Play Android Development] daksha303:
Ok, with or without sdcard, no boot.

So I decided to run on a "safe" road: hands on the good-old flashtool and flashed the stock (and latest) R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_(Generic)

Got my phone back as mom Sony and daddy Ericsson did it. Start from scratch.

Than again Lupus v9 -> Factory Reset -> Cyanogenmod

No boot.

Cyanogen boot logo forever.

Now I really have no idea of what the hell is going on !

LMAO. You are joking right :p

And i found that the 720p version doesnt work with cm9.1. The 480p version works. But if ure switching from the 720p version to the 480p version, you have to do a fresh install

[Xperia Play Android Development] daksha303:
Trying Virtuous with Sio and no OC for normal use and battery is amazing! It compensates very well the major needs for battery of ICS

For gaming, SetCPU with a profile that switches to Performance (keeping sio) @ 1.400 when I launch games.

I'm very happy with this kernel-rom combo :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Performance will suck battery in no time, it locks to highest frequency which is not needed. Better if using profile that sets ondemand with very aggressive up-ramping but lazy drop.

I just flashed the lupus 720p kernel on my experia play r800i using flashtool in fastboot mode.

I came from the turbo kernel with pacman rom, but that didn't have what i needed.

anyways now it's stuck at the yellow lupus logo, and it's not doing anything. i press the volume down button and it vibrates for a bit, the same with the back button but nothing happens. What should i do?
[Xperia Play Android Development] abdel12345:
Flash an ftf and then flash the kernel again. You need to press the back button as soon as the phone vibrates to enter recovery
[Xperia Play Android Development] CatnipPhilosophy:
Actually I just reflashed the turbo kernel. i'm now in it's recovery menu.

Is it required to install the ftf before flashing the lupus kernel? if so which one?
[Xperia Play Android Development] abdel12345:
Its not required but it helps make sure you have a clean install. Also if you want you should use lupus jb it works for aosp roms like cm9 and is newer
[Xperia Play Android Development] CatnipPhilosophy:
Actually i had lupus ics beta on it once before. it was really slow. The turbo kernel was mch faster but not in regards to emulators which i use all the time. I want something that has the best performance while still having basic functions such as gaming keys, camera, and other normal stuff. Oh yeah. and i want at least some decent battery life.

So i don't really know what to pick. i liked the pacman rom but it didn't support hardware keys.

*edit* Just installed the lupus v9 kernel and got it working. But after installing a rom i wasn't able to into the phone. I tried pacman, some ics rom i still had on my phone and aurora. all hung after the lupus logo.
[Xperia Play Android Development] frozty95:

[Xperia Play Android Development] igor_anta:
Is there a plan to update this kernel (maybe with the 600+ data partition :)) or it's completely dropped because the JB kernel is working on CM9 roms?

Whatever it is, keep up the good work wedgess, you're doing amazing work for the Play community. Cheers!
[Xperia Play Android Development] wedgess:
Its completely dropped because I don't have time to work on this also and think most people have moved onto stock based ICS or back to GB or JB. My stock ICS kernel supports cm9 I'll just have to make a version with stock partitions or it won't boot. Will do so in next release of that kernel.
[Xperia Play Android Development] idiotzach15:
@wedges, on your next build you should use cwm recovery 6... That's what Fxp is using
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Sorry, you misunderstood me. I meant this kernel here for download - it only has FXP CWM-Recovery v5.x. The kernel as it is, I flash lupus boot.img and enable usb mass storage and I get nothing on the PC. I tried using FXP-CM9 original RAMDisk and it also didn't work, so it's something in the kernel.

On topic of DoomLord recovery, I have built a new ramdisk for next version of this kernel with vol-down as FXP Recovery (original) and Back/Menu as DoomLord Recovery, it works well but USB Mass Storage only works in DoomLord recovery, not FXP though.

Wait... I think I know what you mean. The lupus source seems to have some changes from the DoomKernel ICS. So that is why USB works in the new DoomLord recovery but not FXP Recovery. Damn, so we can't have USB working in both it seems...

I'm helping with this kernel and it's already done for next version ;) You can also press Vol-Down and Back together to launch Aroma Filemanager in next version. But ADB only works in original FXP Recovery (back key), not in AromaFM or DoomLord Recovery. And Mass-Storage only works in DoomLord Recovery, not AromaFM (normal) or FXP Recovery.

What a mouthful that was.

[Xperia Play Android Development] tempest918:
I thought I already did that, done now!

Edit: By the way, what all goes into making a splash screen for a kernel? Like what dimensions does the original image need to be? I found a tutorial on how to do it all but I'm pretty much a newb when it comes to actually compiling stuff in linux, I'm way better at graphic design. I had a cool idea for a boot logo, if you wanted I could make it and send it to you. If you like it you could use it, if not then whatever, lol
[Xperia Play Android Development] wedgess:
Thanks;) Compiling now then testing :D plus appreciate the feedback
[Xperia Play Android Development] lightningdude:
480x854 for the image size. There are some problems with colors on occasion, where levels get switched around if you try to use colors that are too complex. Other than that, try to keep the image's file size relatively low, because Xperia kernels have size issues when it comes to the ramdisk. wedgess' ramdisk is rather small, so it might not be too much of a problem.

Sent from my Xperia Play
[Xperia Play Android Development] wedgess:
Ye as lightningdude said, just make sure you don't use too many colours.( rgb565 is only a 16bit pixel format ), if you want when your done post it up here see what people think or you can send it in PM to me either way man. I had another one which i was goin to use but seen as the kernel means wolf thats why it is what it is. This was the other one i was going to use the colour stays perfect on it.

For some reason it won't embed in the post so click here if you wanna see it
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
Save the PNG as a 256 color palette and run pngoptimize on it, thats how i always avoided problems.

Sent from Xperia Play (R800a) with Tapatalk
[Xperia Play Android Development] tempest918:
Thanks for the dimensions, I'll check it out and see what I can come up with. What is the max size the ramdisk can be? is it just a trail and error thing?

I was gonna go with the wolf theme but do a monochrome wolf logo with a LuPuS logo underneath it, it should be low size and fith within the color constraints. I might come up with something entirely different once I get home at my desk, haha.
[Xperia Play Android Development] wedgess:
Nice it sounds good, kinda liking the sounds of it. I wouldn't say ur image will be too big for the ram disk unless u use a ridiculous amount of colour. Well once u get them done show me
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
It is largely trial and error. Sometimes adding a large binary to /sbin can cause it to get stuck on bootlogo (which is what happened when I added Aroma Filemanager to new Lupus), but then I just moved the binary from /sbin to /res and did chmod 777 to it before running it in the script, and it worked fine.

RAMDisk packing seems to be sketchy at best, but it might be because I use champs' kernel kitchen under cygwin to manage to ramdisk (re)packing and joining with kernel. Although on other cases, it can produce working boot.img's when a true-linux compiled binary won't (freezes at bootlogo).
[Xperia Play Android Development] tempest918:
I worked on it for a bit tonight. I used the blue you chose on the image you showed me earlier for the logo color. I made the wolf grey, I had originally made it white but thought it would be more wolf-like. I applied a slight noise filter to the back of the image just to make it more interesting, don't know if I like it though. It is 256 colors like CosmicDan suggested in an earlier post. What do you think?

Edit: It looks like it scaled the image down on the attachment. Here is a link to it.
[Xperia Play Android Development] CosmicDan:
That logo is awesome, well done! Use that one wedgess :D i will repack ramdisk and kernel for you if you're still having problems, both versions.

Edit: I downscaled current lupus image to 256 and even though its a photo of a wolf i could not see one bit of color bleeding or dithering. It looks fantastic to me.

Edit2: Now that I'm on a PC I do notice some artifacts, mainly aliasing on the nose and some strange feathering on the right-ear. Would you mind sharing your original psd/pspimage/gimp file with me in PM? :) Or maybe just upload an original 24-bit PNG but with no-noise and have the background transparent instead, I could fix that up and retrace+refill it. Up to you though.

Edit3: In regards to next version, I think I am going to remove DoomLord Recovery. Nandroid backups from CWM6 don't seem compatible with it, and adb doesnt work in it anyway. This would make it simpler, back key can be CWM Recovery 6 and Vol-Down can launch Aroma Filemanager. Would make it less confusing too. Thoughts?
