I have mounted the vendor partition using v14 kernel. And it is mounted. But same thing happens to me always: com.android.phone, com.sonyericsson.smartsearch and keypad keeps getting an fc.. Any idea why is this happening?

Now I'm stuck on v10 :(

I am using stock ROM LT15i .587

May i ask, on which governor and i/o you are on?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
In this release, ICS detecting is improved...So, if you still need to force ICS it is weird...

It detects ICS by ro.build.version.sdk=15 Line in /system/etc/build.prop

From that line it removes anything not a number, so only 15 is left and that means ICS...

And if there are multiple lines it still should read last one....

Can you post *lupus*.log 4 logs, 2 from /cache/recovery and 2 from /data/local/tmp ?

Only thing different about UHD build.prop is that it uses UTF-8 encoding instead ANSI....

Did you tried rebooting few times after mounting so media storage detects files?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Benben2a:
Here you can find the 4 logs you asked me : logs

Thank you for your interest

[Xperia Arc Android Development] FlorinXstyle:
guys i have one simple question. What version of this kernel for Gingerbread have WIFI working ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
None =( We tried, but I have ICS and can't backup restore all the time...

If you use GB and want to be a tester PM wedgess...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
Backup First

In terminal before flashing v14_modv1 execute

su
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
busybox echo "vendor_patch=enabled" > /system/lupus.prop
busybox mount -o remount,ro /system

so vendor patch is enabled before your first boot (you can enable disable this in lupus menu of this kernel)

Flash THIS and report back...

Also send *lupus* logs from /cache/recovery and /data/local/tmp
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Benben2a:
Hi, i executed what you tell ( backup, command in terminal and flash img in fastboot mode), but nothing different appened. same thing at boot (directly in recovery mode) here are the logs : Lupus logs 2

I'll try your second method (flash the .13 ftf then the kernel then restore my backup) but wich img i've to use? modv1 or v14?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Gothic253:
So what about this patch?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rod555:
awesome kernel! :good:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
Sorry, this is fix for vendor mounting...

I told you you should backup, flash FULL FTF of .13 LT18i (you can exclude kernel)...

Flash back LuPuSv14...

Restore....

You can try modv1, as it tries to mount system on kernel start in the same way...

3 different things are that it uses /system/lupus.prop for QuickReset and Vendor Patch enabling and uses same file for remembering last recovery when you Reboot To Recovery from ROM instead /cache
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Benben2a:
Right, it was not for me ok, i'll flash the .13 FW in few hour, i made a backup before. Thank you,

Dunno what it could be as kernel initialisation script does not output any error on system mounting, just outputs error when script tries to access /system/build.prop =(

Can you do

Thank you, reboot on recovery is annoying but not so much :p
[Xperia Arc Android Development] wedgess:
Please post on the correct thread. You have a PRO this is ARC thread. Why would you need to wipe caches for kernel to boot. U sure you are using the correct kernel seen as u are on the wrong thread...

I find it strange how 1000+ have downloaded in the last 4days and you are the only one not been able to get it boot. Anyway if u really want to wipe caches. Flash another kernel and see if u can enter recovery.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] wedgess:
No ARC&S kernel is for ARC& ARC-S. PRO kernel is for xperia PRO....

No wonder u can't get it to boot. This is the reason there is 2seperate threads.... So please use PRO kernel and thread.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] fakhreza:
Let me help [MENTION=4609488]wedgess[/MENTION] explain to you. There are two versions of lupus kernel for ICS. One for ARC and ARC S, and the other one for PRO. BOTH are lupus V14. And each kernel are posted in different thread. This thread is for those who use ARC. There are one other thread specifically made for PRO users. Well if you use lupus v14 for ARC in your PRO, it will not boot. Take a look closely on the thread subject. You're missing something.

In other words, download and flash other lupus V14 that is made for PRO, get it in PRO thread.

Sent from my LT15i
[Xperia Arc Android Development] wedgess:
Please just use the PRO kernel and thread. Its common sense to use iyokan kernel for iyokan device. He said LuPuS v14 he didn't say LuPuS v14 for ARC kernel.:banghead:

This is OT the thread is already spammed enough with questions you wrote on it regarding why an ARC kernel won't work on PRO device. This makes it harder for me look over real problems people are having.

Please use PRO kernel and PRO thread.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] M_w_B:
It all makes sense to me now, once I have searched for the PRO related Lupus kernel I only encounterd Lupus V11 (but now I see that was Lupus for Jelly Bean) and therefore I have just considered V14 would be for ARC/S and PRO as well.

Damn, I kinda feel ashamed now because of this, I'm sorry guys. Thanks for making this clear to me. :good:

---------- Post added at 09:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 PM ----------

Alright, but chill out a bit, me as a total noob came here because the Ultimate HD ROM gave the instructions for the PRO and linked me to this ARC/S thread of yours.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1920207 look here and scroll down a bit you will see the instructions for installing on a PRO which links me to this kernel, in this specific thread: give it a try.

Btw I will inform that for the PRO explination the link towards here is not correct ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] M_w_B:
A few posts further on the OP somebody asked (does this support PRO?) and he got ´yes´ as a reply. How am I supposed to smell it was about a seperated thread for PRO only, if I got here because of the instructions on UHD for the PRO?

Look, I have apologised, I have changed most of my posts to -solved- and despite all, all the helping posts recieved thanks from me. It would be civil enough to just accept it and move on, I don´t need more than one person explaining my mistake. Keep your respect, I wish you all a good day.

Flashed v14 on my Arc S, camera button is back, so far everything seems to be okay. Good work ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Marmalux:
Goood !

Hy,

Flashed this morning v14. After some few thrills (games suddenly freezing after almost a minute of working perfect) it seem to be a very good update. Everything works fine after some small changes with lupus script.

Executed almost all of the twek options + init.d

swappines to 90 + ini.d

Modifiied Minfree kbytes to 0 +init.d

Enabled frandom + init.d

No frills CPU : Governor - darkside, min freq - 184, max freq - 1402, scheduler - cfq.

Using 4.1.B.1.13 ICS (stock, rooted) on LT15i.

Only problem is file manager inside recovery (both twrp and CWM with aromafm v1.0 ) are usseles. Allmost all folders are emty (example : Tried to delete all scripts in init.d folder, but in /etc I find only 3 files, no folders; in /system I find nothing.........)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
You need to mount /system and /data partitions manually in TWRP and in AromaFM you can choose in options to mount all partitions automatically when starting...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Marmalux:
Thanks, I did not know that I had to mount them. I assumed they are already mounted since I was able to see "system" folder......

I experience weak gsm signal since upgraded to v14 in comparison to v10. It might just be my imagination, but is there something different that can affect gsm signal in v14 ? But on the other hand, 3g data transfer is a lot better, I`m absolutely amazed of the data transfer speed I have achieved today with v14. So till now despite low gsm signal I do not have actualy lost signal during phone call and 3g data speeds are awesome.

So, things are a lot better overall since v10. Great work you are doing, and thanks for this great kernel !
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kAcA.:
The only bug I noticed is the Wi-Fi not connecting to the network untill I go to Wi-Fi settings. Then it magically connects until the next turn off and on again.

Battery life is worse than on Vengeance

I can't turn wifi after I flashed v14.. It worked until I flashed v14...

I'm on HD 3.0.2.

Any advice?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Hotfingers:
Search the thread a bit. There's a folder where you delete some libs.

Then the kernel puts the libs in place at boot.

Also, I think there's a menu option in the lupus script that resets WiFi..

I can't remember where the info is, but mostly it's in posts from [MENTION=4665716]gu5t3r[/MENTION].
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gu5t3r:
Kernel will move your old WiFi modules to /system/lib/modules.old and put new ones in /system/lib/modules

Only problem can be if you don't have space on system...

Try deleting both folders and rebooting 1-2 times....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kaszell:
Try reboot if this not help flash kernel again if this not help delete modules folder from system and flash kernel again.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] qube310:
Ok, will try that today.

Just one question.. I can't turn on via hardware key, I must plug it on charger first?

If you understand me...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] a12bd1:
Joystick via OTG not responding

I have a question. I can connect keyboard, mouse and usb storage thru the OTG on this kernel.

But when I connect an joystick usb, my phone don't respond to any input from the joystick.

I want to use it to play games.

Is this kernel limitation?

Because I try it (joystick + otg) on my friend's SGS II, it connected successfully and can be used to play games.

This past week i'm using cm10. Yesterday saw a new UHD was uploaded. So i wanna to try the rom.

Back to stock firmware, then flash the lupus v14.

After the ritual of wiping and installing the rom, then reboot, i've never pass the cwm screen.

After reboot, always back to CWM mode :silly:.

Even after change it to this

It's still always back to cwm mode.

Any suggestion ?

EDIT :

After a few pages back, i found this

It works for me, finally got my phone pass the cwm mode, and booting.

But this kinda irritating for me. Please fix for the upcoming updates. Thx :)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] fakhreza:
V14: advanced restore still buggy in the menu choices. It's still inconsistent to what the menu says. Condition is, when you choose these menus under advanced restore:

- Restore system -> this will actually restores SD-ext

- Restore data -> this will actually restores system

- Restore cache -> this will actually restores data

- Restore SD-ext -> this will actually restores cache

The confirmation dialog is consistent. But what it really does isn't. Example:

When I choose "restore /data", the next menu will be "-no" and "restore /data" with a sentence saying that it is going to restore /data. But when I confirm with choosing "restore /data", what it really does is restoring /system.

Please forgive me if my explanation is confusing.. Simply try to restore anything via advanced restore, and what will be restored won't be what you've chosen before :)

I tried to backup before updating from UHD 3.0.2 to UHD 3.1 and I discovered that CWM backup does not work with lupus V14 :(

Happily it works with TWRP so I did a backup through TWRP but I prefer CWM :)

Is it a known bug ?

thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TopperBG:
This is major bugs and very dangerous ?

Please devs to react ASAP.

Thanks for acting in advance !
[Xperia Arc Android Development] wedgess:
Good explanation and good spot. I dont use advanced restore hence the reason I never noticed. Will fix it in the coming days.

No not mentioned on any of the threads and all is fine for me... Anyone else experiencing the same. Can u send recovery log to me??

Wouldn't say its very dangerous. But I'll fix it tomorrow/Tuesday.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TopperBG:
C'mon - want to restore data and restore actually system and that's not dangerous :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] wedgess:
What I ment is before restore it says confirm restore of /<partition> so people would notice before restore. Anyway as I said will fix when I get time.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] oduhart:
sadly not :(

The bug is this : when I choose backup nothing happens. Only thing is that CWM says backuping system ... but nothing more is displayed like on previous versions :(

So at this point I remove battery and there is no recovery log

houps sorry I just installed back V13 and there is no progress bar or file names displaying as in V14.

My bad...

Is it the normal behavior ? Just because it looks like it does nothing and that's quiet disturbing....

Maybe I remember the behavior of the xparts recovery for locked BL.

Yes indeed it does something :) I let it without battery extraction and now it says backuping data...

that's it backup completed completly

Nevertheless could you consider adding some indication that it's doing something ? as I said I found it disturbing . But maybe you have your own good reasons. Just let me know

Anyone else facing random rebots on V14?

They happen in (deep?) sleep mode
[Xperia Arc Android Development] wedgess:
Ye will do when I get time to look at it.

About earlier advanced restore menu

.. Not sure what happened with ARC version my PLAY version is fine. So I'll test during the week.

Notice - GingerBread will be removed from next release. I will release seperate GB kernel in a separate thread.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JCDentonMale:
I'm not sure if it is related to the latest Lupus v14 Kernel, but 2G data (Edge, GPRS...) seems not working anymore on my Xperia Arc S. Switching data on or off does not do anything anymore in GSM mode.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Hotfingers:
Doubt it's the kernel - 2G data works fine my arc (for well over a week now).

Here's some thinking as I type...

Maybe check your access point settings (make sure you haven't lost them through flashing stuff).

If your access point is set up correctly; then maybe you need to flash the libs for your baseband.

Oh, yes. There' also FWall+ the latest firewall tool. It may have the "block data by default" kind of setting, then you just need to re-apply your firewall settings, and suddenly apps work again

After that I've run out of quick ideas..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JCDentonMale:
I also remember that 2G data was working fine until last week, a few days after I flashed the new kernel. That's why I'm not entirely sure this is kernel-related. Thanks for your ideas :)

---------- Post added at 01:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 PM ----------

Problem seems to be solved. You actually gave me the idea to check my settings in the Data Usage section. I remembered having turned off data using the switch in this section. I turned this switch on again, and now 2G data is working again. Thank you ! :good:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JCDentonMale:
Mmh the problem was solved temporarily only. Now still only 3G data is working, but that drains my battery so fast. I guess I'm good for a full wipe.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] fakhreza:
I'm pretty sure there's some kind of misplaced hierarchy in the code. Maybe it happened when you mis-copy-pasted the codes while building Arc kernel.. :p just guessing

I'm pretty sure that advanced restore is used by many of us since this function is really useful when we want to restore data after flashing a new ROM. Restoring the whole user data using TitaniumBackup is quite time wasting :D

Other than that, this kernel makes my phone as smooth as baby's a*s..
