lt18i UHD 3.1 - Help

Real sorry if this question has been asked, but I've been looking for the last hour in the thread and cant find an answer...

I'm on Ultimate HD 3.1 Beta LT18i, trying to flash LupusV14 and I get stuck on the boot animation, can't even get into CWM, tried volume down button(and all menu button combinations)...

I did see something about removing boot animation files, is this what I need to do first?

Any help would be awesome, really wanna try your kernel :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Madaditya:
Go to your rom's.zip

Open,not extract and go to system/etc/init.d

And delete all scripts there...(or backup first)

And flash this modified zip...

Check if it boots

Also check gu5t3r's post for fixing the bug's in init.d scripts

Might wanna hit :p

^Coz We dont just Root phones for Fun ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] muzadull:
Please can someone add modules for lupus V9
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
May I ask if it's possible to reduce the boot time at the beginning? It takes a long time until Android starts to boot (boot animation). Is there a reason for it? I would like to learn why. :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
Read....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
That's the point: Nothing except V6 SC. The long time (~20 sec.) is even without these scripts.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ManofTheHour:
I kinda get what you mean. you mean the long kernel screen "LUPUS" right?

not sure if that's a problem o.o
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
How long is your boot time, from pressing power to lock screen? Is boot on stock kernel faster? Which SC version U use?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] muzadull:
I've downloaded a dozen of gallery apps on playstore and non loaded video thumbnails.Only photo thumbnails are loaded.I even tried Stock ICS gallery and sony's 3D gallery but in vain.I've already posted this issue numerous times but no response and fix yet.

Using Xperia Arc - Lupus V14 - Stock ICS .587 - Baseband 77
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jkjacek:
v14 has good battery on Viper 5 (ArcS)

Just want to share my experience with LuPus v14.

It is one of the best kernels I use relating to battery usage (at least for me).

My phone last almost 4 days without charging with moderate usage of the phone.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
Doesn't happen to me.

Sorry for the late answer. Today I looked at the boot time:

08 sec.: First kernel logo

11 sec.: Two vibrations + blue LED on

13 sec.: blue LED off

23 sec.: screen turns bright

30 sec.: screen turns darker

32 sec.: boot animation

58 sec.: hardware buttons LEDs on

73 sec.: hardware buttons LEDs off

79 sec.: lockscreen/sim code screen

I'll re-install the kernel and the ROM now. After that I'll try the Mounts2SD script which didn't work one week ago.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
It seems normal boot time to me, if Mounts2SD didn't work for you delete ROM busybox (/system/xbin/busybox), and kernel will auto link it to system one on boot if it does not exist... Then try to install Mounts2SD again...It works on my LT18i....

You can also check in /cache/recovery and /data/local/tmp for *lupus* log and see exactly how much time is needed to execute init.d scripts...

lupus.log

.
.
.
[S] sysinit (29-05-2013 07:39:19 PM): Starting
[i] sysinit (29-05-2013 07:39:19 PM): Executing
[i] sysinit (29-05-2013 07:39:30 PM): Finished
.
.
.

It took 11 secs for init.d scripts, but that is because I have Mounts2SD filesystem check enabled for sd-ext partition....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
I'll try your suggestions, thanks. Which busybox version comes with Lupus v14?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TheGreatSega:
here you go!

[MENTION=4609488]wedgess[/MENTION] ok so here's a working zImage compile by tkymgr... it boots.. but you cant enter recovery and it takes a lot of time to boot... do help so we can start fixing bigger issues

cheers mate!!

pm me.. its easier
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
[MENTION=4609488]wedgess[/MENTION] or anybody

What are useful config options?

- Enable frandom? I searched a bit but don't have an idea where I can use it.

- Enable ZRAM? I read that some users are totally against it (pro or con on low RAM devices as the ArcS) and some say it's great.

- Should I prefer the init.d method from the kernel to set the frequencies, scheduler etc. or use an app?

Thanks for your help.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
1.20.2-jb; Works great with M2SD and SC...

1) Frandom: Read more about Seeder apps, when you enable frandom you don't need seeder apps because frandom is 50X faster...

2) ZRam: ZRam is compressed swap stored in RAM...Stock Sony ICS ROM has 60MB of ZRAM...60MB of compressed swap aka ZRam uses about 25 MB of real RAM...

Looked one way you will always have 25MB less RAM available (when you want to run one app like a game), and the other way, you will be able to run more apps as you will gain 35MB of RAM when previous APP is moved to ZRam...(Previous app will not be killed rather moved to ZRam thus it helps with multitasking)

Example: When you click on a link in FaceBook app and open it in Browser, FB app will be pushed to ZRam and when you return from Browser to FB your position in News will be remembered... When not enough RAM or without ZRam or Swap FB app will be killed and when you return to FB your position will not be remembered and you will again need to scroll down to position you were...

Zram vs. Swap: ZRam gives you faster switching between APPS and SWAP gives you more free RAM as it's not stored in RAM rather on mSD, thus slower...

I have 128MB of swap on 3rd mSD partition...

3) init.d's from lupus menu will apply settings much before app will (on kernel logo)...but it does not make any difference once phone booted...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
Thanks for your efforts! :victory: M2SD doesn't work on my phone/ROM. There is always an error that it can't move /data/app-private. I'll try again and this is the wrong thread.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
I think it's incompatibility with you ROM's busybox as M2SD init.d script executes before starting ROM...

On some other older busyboxes I also had errors with M2SD, with LuPuS busybox everything works the way it should...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
It does since 2 min.! :) Yeah, going to sleep with a big smile... Thanks you - nice work with your optimizing script for apks!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
I deleted the WiFi modules in my ROM for the first time before the installation and have no connection to my router with the integrated ones. It seems that I should better restart 3 times to overwrite them and have a connection than deleting them at first. I'll report back if it solved my problem.

edit: It was something else...

Hello

I'm using this kernel and it's the most advanced I've ever used :)

Sometimes the phone freezes after hard working and it takes long time without responding so I'm forced to remove the battery and I know that may damage the battery but I dont have another choice .

So is this kernel can help me or is there any way to force reboot or shutdown in this situation ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Madaditya:
1.Probably thats what QUICK KEY RESET was made for,Enable it from Lupus Menu and hold HOME+POWER button to shut down your device

(The script tells you this)

2.Also Help the dev if you always face these problems buy providing bug reports,Only if they are kernel related

Hi,

I just want to know about these 2 stuff...since .googling doesnt give much so I hope that anyone would tell me about the impact of frandom and flag blocks as non rotational on performance and battery life..

does frandom acts differently from seeder?

thanks in advance
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Vladko1:
This was posted after the release of v14 after a post of mine. I tried it before you post it, but still no mount.(but thank you for the response :) ) I tried from the aroma, from the kernel options and from the Terminal in Android.

I will wait for the v15. Hopefully I will do anything to make it run :) Until then i'll continue to run the lovely v10 :)

...and one question... I want to replace my class10 A-Data 16GB with class10 32GB Kingston or A-Data. I am thinking of formating the SD to NTFS(i saw that the kernel supports it). In any case NTFS is far more superior than the FAT32(i'm writting in short). Has someone ever tried NTFS on mobile?

Human, I flash this and have a problem with Adobe flash. Before flash work and now not. I use 4.1.1 . Thx
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Frenchdroid:
@wedgess Just read this thread - glad you stuck with development on this when you were a bit unsure of whether there were many people who appreciated your work.

Just like others, I'm so pleased that your work has come along now. I just moved to ICS stock .587 and love everything except the incredible lag. Going to test your kernel and I'm sure it will be just what I'm looking for - donation to follow then.

As far as wish-lists go, its hard to know what MOST of your users want but I think the baseline is to have o/c with governors, etc, plus any other add-ons that doesn't sacrifice stock/basic features like 720p or increase battery drain. Options that means we have to sacrifice a feature or performance somewhere else is a bit of a bummer I reckon, and only caters for a minority of niche users. BUT if we can have options with no sacrifice then thats great.

If something like CIFS enabled, for instance, might increase battery drain, how can I turn off the CIFS option (or whatever it is) ?

Anyway, gonna flash today. And I'm hoping it will give my wi-fi a boost which will be amazing (its on the minimum bars in the icon and so slow since I went to ICS - used to be pretty good).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Frenchdroid:
S**t

Can anyone help me please ?

I put the wifi .zip file on my SD card and then flashed the kernel using Flashtools in Fastboot mode - no problems. Phone boots no problem.

However, of course I don't have wi-fi until I flash the zip file. However, I don't seem to have CWM on my phone as I just have stock rom.

I am rooted and bootloader is unlocked but how can I flash the wi-fi zip file (or how to get CWM on there without wi-fi to use update.zip) ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jejeh:
You have cwm because it's in the kernel.

reboot en keep pushing vol up button.

et voila cwm
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Frenchdroid:
Apologies to the thread for posting for help in a panic !!

I actually just found an option to install CWM recovery in Flashtools. I did that and it worked, flashed the wifi zip and wifi is back.

However, wifi strength isn't any better than before unfortunately. Its not my phone as it used to be great with GB but since ICS it sucks. Any ideas ?

Thanks for your suggestion but I found that CWM recovery is entered by pressing volume DOWN. Thanks anyway.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] wedgess:
No apologies needed this thread is for posting :p CWM is already in the kernel no need to flash it in flashtool. Can someone post me the keychecks for your device please??

Also was hoping on having v 3 released tonight but my source is on Github and as I like to keep my PC clean. But github is down at the moment. Once its back up I'll be working on v3. So keychecks please so I can mess with recovery ;)

Whatever rom I've tried with whatever kernel, it didn't ever get any better with WiFi. I think the WiFi hardware in the Xperia is just not great. No software tweak is going to fix that.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Frenchdroid:
I get what you are saying, but on the same Arc, wi-fi was working fine under GB and is noticeably worse with ICS. So software might not make it better b ut it could conceivably make it worse. It would be great if a kernel or rom could "unmake" it worse if you know what I mean.

Hehe, yes I get your point. As best as possible..even if that means still not great.

For still unknown reason on some phones kernel initialization script cannot mount system to check if it's ICS installed on phone...

So you have to force it every time on startup... Try backing up, flashing original FTF and restore later...

HOLD HOME + TAP VolDown for ICS,

HOLD HOME + HOLD VolDown for ICS plus mount vendor partition (for LT15i)...
