How lupus gives us 355 mb of ram .. Whereas there is only 340 in stock?

;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TopperBG:
From 512Mb total RAM or with replace of chips ( joke :silly: )

LuPuSv16_ARC_R1 (updated ramdisk)

LuPuSv16_ARC_R1 (updated ramdisk)

LuPuSv16 for Arc/S with updated lupus menu (UKSM Service, updated KMT Tweaks and Scheduler tweaks addon when choosing scheduler) for anyone who wants to test before v17...

I use UKSM on High + Service and works perfect for me... (New lupus menu has lowered uksm values so High in new is Medium in old, Medium in new is low in old...)

LuPuSv16_ARC_R1.rar - 6.92 MB

v8 and v16 isnt working well with uhd 4.0

bro could you realease an update for neo/v also ?

thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Benben2a:
You're wrong !!!!!!

It works well

I'm on Lupus v16 since it was released (before i was on v12 etc... v16 :D ) and UHD since i rooted my ARC 3.0.2, 3.1, 4.0RC1, 4.0
[Xperia Arc Android Development] aj7400:
Well everyone has their own opinion ... Even the dev of uhd has not recommended lupus v16 for his uhd 4.0

U can read the thread of uhd ... Most of them say that .. Lupus v16 and uhd 4.0 not as good compatible
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vashta:
Absurd...

Wich part of lupus v16 is not compatible with UHD ? :laugh::laugh:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Devoct:
why are you using 4.0.3?

it works well, nothing special with UHD, it's the same as other 4.1B roms.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pmp:
I'm on Lupus 16 and UHD 4.0 and it works perfectly.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Benben2a:
Of course

That's what i said, IT works :highfive:

hi

i flash lupus v16 on my arc s ( for install uhd 4.0 )

You need to enable OTG in Lupus menu.

And even so, you will need USB OTG helper (get it in the playstore).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jkjacek:
Question about OTG in Arc S...

I have a question about OTG in Arc S.

How you use it?

Is it safe use it?

I read an article with warning that using OTG on ARC S can provide to spoil main board of the phone escpecially if you use it long time.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pmp:
What do you mean "How to use it?" - Enable it on lupus menu, get USB OTG Helper from the market, stick the cable on your phone and the device you want to connect (a pen for example) on the other end and you are done.

I have no idea if it is safe or not. I use it a lot but never for more than a couple of minutes, so I have no idea if you can have issues with long time usage.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TopperBG:
Yeah, some high speed USBs are more power consuming and can burn with overheat your miniUSB port. It's not designed to take such load.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DomusX10:
I've flashed v16 on my Arc S...but with Ultimate HD ROM v4 Wifi don't work...says "Activation ..." but don't activate wifi....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] martinusbe:
look few posts above :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] o._.o:
I am currently using this kernel with UHD 4.0

But it seems that I am not able to use the OTG as the phone cant read my USB flash disk

After doing some searching, I know the I can enable OTG in the "LuPuS menu".

However, I don't know how to use the Lupus menu.

I only know that the "Lupus menu" is located at /sbin/lupus

i have tried to use SManager to "open" it, but I just cant see any "menu" out there

I have also tried to use Root Explorer to "open" it, but it just give me a whole page of codes

So, what I am supposed to do if I want to enable OTG?

Hope someone can give me some lovely guide as I dont have too much knowledge in this field.

Many thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] simplyjustkids:
Go SManager, go to option, console, type su then type lupus. There it will display the menu.

report about wifi hotspot

hi

lupus v16 is the best version and lupus is the best kernel , thanks very much

but i have problem with wifi hotspot

it works after removing wifi modules by lupus menu , after reboot my wifi hotspot works fine

but After a while it will break again ( i press on wifi hotspot and it turns on but after 1 second it turn off )

i don't know why , please fix it

i can also send you a logcat when it not works ( it works now because i removed modules from lupus menu )
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Vladko1:
Will be there any fixes for the LT15i video playback in the next version of the Lupus kernel? + getting rid of the need for pressing the buttons for mounting the vendor partition?

I've recently changed to Ultimate HD 4 + 4.8 MOD and i realised that the v10 can't hold it well. At most of the times the v10 was quite faster on my optimized .587 with the disabled cpu rendering, but on the Ultimate HD, when i disable it, there's no free RAM and the phone is nearly stucked....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
Flash LT18 FTF (exclude kernel) to get rid of vendor partition...

It's the best solution as even CM releases don't support vendor partition and you can't backup it via CWM or TWRP...

---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 PM ----------

You can always flash Full LT15 FTF to go back to old partitions and restore vendor one...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] EAGLEBOOY:
hi , here is the logcats , i make these with catlog app

first i try to turn on wifi hotspot , but it turns off just after 1 second

after that i try to use usb tethering but it have the same problem

so the first logcat is for wifi sotspot and the second one is for usb tethering

i also make a video to show you what has happened

if i remove wifi modules from lupus menu after reboot they works and all is works good but After a while it will break again

thanks , I am waiting for your answer

The video thumnails generation in ANY gallery app is not fixed yet.The problem has been there since V10.Fix this please.

Tried deleting data/cache,factory reset.tried many STOCK ics roms and provided logcats too.

Device:xperia ARC LT15i
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
That problem is on LT15 only and wedgess would probably need to make separate versions for LT15 with 350MB of ram and for LT18 leave 355 as it is now...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] [NUT]:
&

I have a LT15i and flashed a LT18i FTF prior to flashing the latest lupus kernel and ultimate hd 4.0. For me the thumbnail creation works just fine...

That suggests the problem comes from the partitioning rather then from the kernel... Or am I not trying hard enough to make it fail?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] muzadull:
I've done the same since LT18i ftf give more Data and System partition space but it does not work.But when I flash another Stock based Kernel it works without any problems.I did not try Ultimate HD 4.0 though.Tested Stock ICS,previous Ultimate HD roms,and many other ICS roms.May be am missing certains steps?

Does LUPUS V16 Support FIREWALL?

Hi Everyone,

Does LUPUS V16 support firewalls? I just purchased a program (Android Tuner) and it has a built in firewall. When I turn on the firewall to ry to block ads in various programs, it gives me a message "Current Kernel must have firewall support implements or this feature will not do anything".

The games/programs that had ads that would pop up randoms STILL pop up randomly when I have the firewall active on those apps - but there is now way for me to know if they are just built in to the programs, or if it's access the internet.....

Also - With V14 it said that if it was slow to boot to move the init. files to the boot folder - When I had version 14 I DID do this and it did seem to make a difference - Is this the SAME with version 16??? I find that it does take a while to boot now that I have updated to V16 and Ultimate HD 4.0 (before I had lupus v14 and ultimate hd 3)

Thanks!!!!

Rebecca
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Vladko1:
I'll wait for a Lupus v17(if there will be future version of the Lupus). I've deleted the HD4.0 restored my own built .587 ROM(i've gathered mods for my own phone + making a lot of optimization and improvements) and now my phone is way, way, way faster with my rom compared to the UHD4.0! Still running v10 though. When the v17 is out, i'll make a backup and try to flash it. If it's not fully working, i'll flash an LT18i and i will restore my ROM with the new v17. Just my phone is working very well and everyday i'm using the Multimedia(Music mostly, pictures and HD playback) and that's why i'm looking not to mod my phone everyday. I don't know why but after any CWM restore there is something not right(mostly the Storage capability which ruins song browsing from walkman).

And one great thanks for all of your advices, guys! Thanks :)

And one great thanks to the Lupus developers making us possible to use the great capabilities of our devices!

5.turn on mobile data

6.wifi hotspot turn off exactly after i turn on mobile data

here is the logcat , i do it for twice and create two logcats for help you fix it soon
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sandeep101:
we need lupus too!

we mdpi users still using old v6 version of this great kernel . please update it for us too .thanks .
[Xperia Arc Android Development] wedgess:
Yes I think next release will be final. I have stopped using my Xperia and prefer to focus on PAC-man instead. Plus college starting back again in another month. The update might take awhile I want to try fix your current problem. Although I do wonder if flashing an LT18i ftf will fix the issue for you, it seems that LT18i users don't have the problem (correct me if i'm wrong). However I say this is the last release but after last releaseI might work on a lite version, we will see depending on time.

Does this happen with a different kernel, or only LuPuS? What ROM and does anyone else experience this?

Only thing I can think of is CPU is busy and binder call fails.

Singh maintains LuPuS for MDPI, he has had a tough few weeks, he will update when he is ready. Please don't post in this devices thread and don't bother Singh for an update. He will update when he is ready!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] EAGLEBOOY:
I agree with you. , i think it is because of CPU , it is too busy ,But i'm not sure

i use UHDv4 ROM and UHDv4.8 MOD and LuPuSv17 for kernel and use this CPU settings

249-768 MHz & smoothass & bfq

now i'm going to test with other CPU settings

if not i'm going to try another kernel

i hope it will fix only by changing CPU settings , because i love your kernel

i also will ask users , maybe they have this problem

thanks for your help ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] endeavour900115:
Good job, bro!:p
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Marmalux:
768 is very low no matter what arc you have

Go to 1200 for LT15 or 1400 for LT18 (this is how i keep my lt15 and battery is very good as well as performance)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] EAGLEBOOY:
ok , now i changed it to 1200-1400 from 2 days ago , but i still have problem with wifi hotspot , i also can't use usb tethering

now i should ask other users , maybe they have same problem with me

My wifi is not working. I flashed this kernel then i did a full wipe/facutory reset, wipe dalvic cache and batery stats and flashed UHD 4. My previous kernel was Advanced stock .431. Do you have any ideas how to fix wifi?

Edit: I just rebooted the phone and now wifi works :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pepitoff:
Flash wifi moduls again and all will be OK ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TopperBG:
1.Reboot twice

2.Try deleting /system/lib/modules and /system/lib/modules.old directories

3.Check that there is enough free space in /system

There is no separate modules for this kernel pall :)

Will you check the "problems/configuration" with UKSM? gu5t3r discussed it with zeppelinrox in the V6 supercharger thread.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
Wedgess is searching for Xperia 2011 phone to solve the problem, for now optional UKSM Service is solution...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TopperBG:
And what in fact is the problem with USKM and 2011 devices ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
It does not properly detect Deep Sleep and works while screen is off...

So, solution is to enable uksm service which turns uksm off when screen is off and on when screen on...

This way it won't drain battery when screen off...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TopperBG:
Thanks for the usefull info but... how to enable uskm service? Sorry for lame question...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
Its optional when enabling uksm on V16 with updated ramdisk... Search the thread...

Not feeling very well with this RC1 version instead of V16 (latest).

Feel lag, nonresponse, app not response. I have swap on separate partition from two days may be because of this but anyhow with v.16 works very, very VERY well.

In the matter of fact, often saw uskmd like most wakelock process. Will leave RC1 for 2 days at least to see how will behave.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
WTF, RC1 differs in two files from original, updated /sbin/lupus menu and /sbin/uksm_service

What you're saying is not possible...

It's probably because of swap... What size of swap you're using? I also had lag with big swap sizes... I use swap 64mb on /cache partition and I don't have lags...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TopperBG:
254MB on SD card, swap partition.

Anyway, will leave it for 1-2 days.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
OK, but I always had lag with big swap sizes...

I'm using Mounts2SD and I selected for Google Play not to use cache partition for downloads rather to use sdext...

Because dalvik and app are on sd-ext, my logic is to give less load to mSD and because that I'm swapping to /cache (as cache partition is not used at all by android system) as only thing internal memory is used for is /data/data and /system...

And it works perfect for me without any lags...

Hm, if you're using LuPuS kernel you did something wrong, did you maybe used Windows Notepad to create script?

Win Notepad does not support unix line endings, use notepad++ or notepad2 and select unix line endings...

In some text editors on android you need to do the same...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kaz93:
bingo..using notepad++ and everything works fine..thanks..i have been searching for ways to set up swap without using any app.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
for swapping on swap partition you don't need loopback, you can just swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 or swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 if second partition is sd-ext....

for swapping on /mnt/sdcard/swapfile you can just swapon /mnt/sdcard/swapfile...

if you have errors then do mkswap /mnt/sdcard/swapfile or mkswap dev/block/mmcblk0p3 before swapon...

and disable swap partition with swapoff

to list swaps do cat /proc/swaps

hi dear wedgess

i tested other kernels ( adv stock , vengeance , arc knight )

but their modules don't work for me

for example this is what i did: i flashed vengeance and boot up phone fully after that i reboot to CWM and flash wifi modules of vengeance and boot up phone , but wifi don't work

i think something wrong in your kernel

please fix it , i love to use LuPuS for my phone , you are the best developer and i know you can do it

thanks
