Yes u can also reset wifi via LuPuS Menu, wifi should work fine after a reboot then.

Im not too sure what you are saying :confused:

No I'm pretty sure u don't need to if u flashed ARCs FTF.

Maybe I'll remove the boot to CWM if SDK version is not found. Seen as its back to being an ICS kernel now. As [MENTION=4665716]gu5t3r[/MENTION] said its a strange problem.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] FallenReb:
Sorry for confuse.

Ok Im see this game (Shadowgun: Deadzone) depends about free ram.

But with similiar situation on Xperia T ICS Rom and kernel Lupus v14 game run fast , Im shocked.

Now on Xperia T ICS Rom and kernel v15 game lagging like hell, its depend about kernel or maybe I need search lagging in diffrent things?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Madaditya:
Try changing the governer's to perfomance,etc etc

[MENTION=4609488]wedgess[/MENTION]- just noticed a small bug(not exactly)

In CWM recovery, choose multiple zip's to flash would read -apply update.zip from sd card

And vice versa

Edit:eek:n v15

Another mistery.... when phone is poweroff, and connect to AC to charge, it powers on and self open cwm. :eek::eek::eek::eek:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] wedgess:
Thabks for pointing it out. Wilp fix it tomorrow.

Nothing in latest update should cause lag. There is however one change I ment to fix in last release to lower lag on games such as MC4. So I'll do it tomorrow.

Again an issue where or device can't read system to get the SDK version so it can't load chargemon :mad: will be fixed tomorrow. I'd suggest switching kernel until V16 tomorrow.

Try wiping caches. Its vol down after 2

Vibrations for CWM or volume up for TWRP.

I saw ur messages but was hoping someone else could anwser because works fine on my PLAY and other devices.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kralizeck:
At least on my Arc S i've to push the vol down buttom after double vibration and release it after single one. Is the only way to enter cwm.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rod555:

If you're tapping or holding VolumeDown after two vibs you will enter CWM.... VolumeUP for TWRP...

Can I use this kernel with Zohaib's Xperia T ICS ROM?

What are bugs of this kernel?:confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
you need to run it as root

su

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Vladko1:
As I noticed, it is better to wait for the v16... cause the last time I restored my system I had problems with the Walkman(every time I try to change the song, instantly the player returned the first song played). As far as I noticed, I believe it's due to Storage capability(its interesting that when I changed the A-Data with Kingston, the problem dissapeared).

As I saw, the v16 soon will be out with big improvements over the v15. I think the v16 deserves the waiting!

I want to say one big THANKS, guys, the Lupus kernel is the best kernel available for ICS!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] FallenReb:
yes you can use v15 with Xperia T ICS Rom, work fine.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] wahsauce:
Cant boot

Hey, on lt18i UHD 3.1 coming from vengeance kernel

When I flash v15 I get the lupus logo, then it goes black and turns off.

If I try to get into cwm, wait for 2 vibrates then hold home + Vol down until I get 1 vibrate, it just shows a battery symbol and turns off....

I cant seem to get past this no matter what I try, any suggestions?, looks like you have some good feedback for this kernel so I really want to try it.

P.S This happened with v14 also...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
Disconnect the phone from the charger (if you have connected it) and push the volume down button one or two times after the two vibrations. It works for me.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jcgechevarria:
I did it. As you can see....

Uploaded with ImageShack.us
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
Try

su

because terminal manager is not reading PATH correctly or use SManager...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jcgechevarria:
Yes, it's ok, now i can manage lupus menu, i can change cpu frequences and governors, but IO-scheduler no.... every seting i try gives error grep not found, "name" is not a valid scheluder
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
Again errors because Terminal Emulator does not read PATH properly, but will try to fix it for v16

[Xperia Arc Android Development] jcgechevarria:
Thanks, enter to cwm solved, but i'm still have to set path to enter lupus menu on terminal emulator.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
You can enter:

su
/sbin/lupus

so you don't need to mess with path...

If you want to be able to run lupus menu from TE with just lupus you need to make a link in system:

su
/sbin/busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
/sbin/busybox ln -sf /sbin/lupus /system/xbin/lupus
/sbin/busybox mount -o remount,ro /system

Kernel should do it on it's own but it can't access you system partition on init...We didn't fully resolve boot to cwm, we just made ICS as default...

[MENTION=4665716]gu5t3r[/MENTION], hope last question... on lupus menu when i set an io scheluder or cpu governors and cpu freq's, if i say that save values i set on init.d, those values are really saved or need to be configured every time i boot the phone??
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
They're loaded through init.d? That's the clue of it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
I you choose to save it by entering y, init.d script is created/updated with new values...

If you just press enter, after reboot, values will reset to previous ones...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Vladko1:
Even I haven't used the Cyber-shot. I played 2-3 times 720p videos(they lagged sometimes) and after that the phone said that is unable to play the video(using quickpic and ics gallery).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] muzadull:
Is the video thumnails generation bug fixed yet on xperia arc?

Edit:Issue not fixed yet :/
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
I haven't encountered any problems playing 720p videos... What ROM do you use? What phone? Did you flashed any GPU libs?

If videos are recorded by CyberShot, they are 10Mb MPEG2 videos... Original ones are 6Mb X264...

X264 is like 50% better compression than MPEG2

Try my mod of CyberShot X to record and play videos....

It uses 6.66 Mb X264 compression...

Thumbnails generate normal on my LT18i...Could it be ROM issue?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] muzadull:
No it's not a rom issue.Video thumbnails works perfectly on KTG or stock kernel
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
You will have to contact wedgess and send him LogCat of trying to generate the thumbnails...

I haven't had any problems with generating thumbnails even on test versions on which playback wasn't working so you will need to do some LogCats to help identify error...

Logcat attached
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jcgechevarria:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] TopperBG:
There is inside even two recoveries - CWM and TWPR :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
You can flash LT18i FTF and you will get rid of vendor partitions and problems that go with it...As no recovery backups vendor partition...

Flash FULL LT18i FTF on your LT15i...

Flash LuPuS kernel...

Restore backup...

You can always go back by flashing FULL LT15i FTF...

Seems so far only LT15i are having problems with reading system partition on init, thumbnails and videos...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Madaditya:
Try using quickpic instead of stock album/movies for thumbnails

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Devoct:
yes agreed UKSM on v16 is just suberb!

do you have any idea how it will impact battery life or performance if we set it to the most aggressive setting?

No, but setting we use as LOW is recommended by CTCaear...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Arrowblue:
My arc lag alot after installing V16. tested other kernel as well like rush,Vengence working fine with vengence and rush but Lupus v16 is making it slow. Lupus v15 works fine too.

i even enabled uksm it didnt help .
[Xperia Arc Android Development] NecromantiA:
what cpu control mode you use?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] xolima:
I sarted with UKSM in normal and had a 12-14% drain over night ( 8h) . After that moved it to low and in terms of performance I dont notice any relevant difference and the over night drain is now at 6-7% :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
Values used as LOW are recommended from CTCaear, and will probably become Default in next release....

If you want to lower uksm aggressiveness little more you can edit /system/etc/init.d/69lps_uksm and change sleep_millisecs from 60 to 100...

Anyway, I created UKSM.sh script for testing UKSM values...Looks like this:

========[ U K S M ]========
---------------------------
Status: Enabled
---------------------------
scan_batch_pages: 5000
sleep_millisecs: 100
---------------------------
pages_shared: 1.03 MB
pages_sharing: 17.39 MB
---------------------------

While pressing only enter it refreshes; Q,E,0 exits and C enters change menu:

========[ U K S M ]========
---------------------------
Change Options
---------------------------

[1] Status
[2] Scan Batch Pages
[3] Sleep Millisecs

---------------------------

Settings are not preserved after reboot, whatever setting you find best, you need to change them in /system/etc/init.d/69lps_uksm to apply on boot...

HELP:

run: The main control interface to stop/run. e.g. echo 1 > /sys/kernel/mm/uksm/run.

scan_batch_pages: how many pages uksmd will scan for each wake up

sleep_millisecs: how long will uksmd sleep before it wakes up and does its work.

Obviously, lowering scan_batch_pages and increasing sleep_millisecs saves battery...

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Hotfingers:
OK, first here's a link (from higher up on this page) to help you with unlocking BootLoader...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1409269

Next, you can only flash a custom kernel if your BootLoader is unlocked. It is the whole reason to unlock the BootLoader.

Last, most custom kernels have CWM built into them. So once you flash the kernel, then you press and release "volume down" while the phone starts up (just after the led turns on). This will get you to the CWM for that custom kernel.

This Lupus kernel has 2 different "recovery" programs built in... CWM linked to the "volume down" button, and also "TWRP" linked to the volume up button.

Models after 12W14 can't be unlocked with SE Tool... Models before that can and it costs about $20 (maybe less) over internet...

So, if you have model after 12W14 with "Bootloader Unlock Allowed: NO" only way to unlock is to ask your carrier to give you unlock code which they should by European laws after your contract with them has expired....
