Hi MunJeni!

Thank you very much for this update :)

May i ask you, could you please update the CWM to CWM Touch on the old GB you made?

This one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1888247

I like this new CWM Touch you have made for ICS ROM, but sadly i have to go back to GB again because i had to much lag on this ICS :(

So i hope maybe if you have time, could update the CWM for GB :) Update your bootimg_6.0.B.3.184_+_Clockworkmod_recovery.zip (the kernal.sin) to have this CWM for ICS with your new features you have added on this one :)

Thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] V.Pathfinder:

There is some wrong zips so you need to fix him manually or just ask author to fix him! You can track zip errors trought recovery.log

New version 7 is out!

Changelog 20.Oct.2012.:

fixed problems for remounting rootfs to "rw" + problems creating fstab + problems with busybox and command "mount" with containing 2 arguments only...

First 3 numbers is rgb color for menu text color, last 3 numbers is rgb color for text color, one space is reguired between numbers!

@MunJeni

Thank you very much for all hard work you are doing for us Xperia GO users ;)

I really like to try this one out again, but last time i tested ICS it was to laggy and poor performance.

I still use GB with your kernel and it works perfectly here.

I'm gonna take couple of ice cold beers and think about install ICS with this laste v8 you have released :)

Would be nice to see the same features you have made for ICS at GB (kernel) :)

Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] munjeni:
I have no plan to back to Gingerbread, have no plan to work with custom GB kernel but I will update only GB recovery!:good:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CiscoX:
Hi. I understand :) that's good news for us that are still stuck with GB for a wile :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] munjeni:
New GB version is done for GB! Its final, I not going to support GB anymore, just only ICS and JB !
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nosmaster:
v8 link is down?

{edit}

its fine was just having trouble

just tested it seems to have stopped all my lagging issues now iv updated to v8
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Limitless83:
Just flashed V8

looks good, seems less laggy

but my WiFi seems te have a worse signal strenth then before?

is this kernel related?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] munjeni:
Could not see any diference about wifi signal but hmm, everything is possible. First I going to fix boot logo because framebufer is not activated during boot so logo fail to display... I need to find a way for how to enable it. Related to wifi, will try to compile latest compat-wireless maybe current c-w have something related to signal, allso kernel have configuration related to wifi (mA) so maybe increasing mA will give better signal...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nosmaster:
im getting better wifi after v8
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Limitless83:
Thanks for looking in to it...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] helkaluin:
Hello, sorry to sound uninformed, but I'm a newbie so please bear with me.

I'm overwhelmed by the paragraphs. It seems from the instructions that to install this kernel means I need to install CWM Touch first.

If I've flashed a stock ICS firmware, what is my logical next step? Installing Rom Manager to install CWM by pointing to the V8 .zip which I should save to the external sd card?

I'm just generally confused as to what goes where. All I know it how to use Flashtool to flash a ROM, and there doesn't seem to be any instruction on getting CWM on in this thread...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] munjeni:
You can install CWM by extracting boot.img from zip provided in my post by command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" ! If you are beginer for fastboot and adb please search XDA, there is a lot of guides for adb and fastboot!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ukunilus:
v8 work well, only the SONY CUSTOM message has dissapeared from the boot, no biggie but i liked it :). i flashed .zip through CWM.

btw what are you using to reboot easily in to cwm from rom, or do you always go through shutdown and then vol up+?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Limitless83:
Hey, after i got home last night, my phone wouldn't connect to my WiFi at al... I did al the basic steps on the router and on the phone, but he won't connect and at certain point he wouldn't even see my wifi, i'm going to try an other kernel to see if it helps...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] munjeni:
Yes, allways power off than boot to CWM...

Wifi is tested and for surre working... I think you missing something by your router...etc

V8 ; Changelog 28.Oct.2012.:

Removed V8... new kernel will be Sony kernel, modified

Version V8 contained kernel from freexperia git so I stoped now working in these kernel source, removed V8 completelly, and starting now working with my own modifications to Sony kernel source code that is public for us! All git forked from freexperia git to my git is removed now! Sorry, I no want to see messages in my thread like "I fixed that, you fixed that, we fixed that, I done that, we done that, its my project, its not your project, I am recognised developer, you are not recognised developer...etc ...etc", who care? I want to have the freedom of making something good for "us" Xperia owners and not messages like this... these messages is very dissapointles for developers... so I must to start working on my own things...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] angelerikz:
Is it safe to flash the boot.img via flashtool over stock ics without flashing the room.zip?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] munjeni:
No by flash tool! You need to flash boot image by fastboot! Command is:

- for unlocked bootloadersonly: fastboot flash boot boot.img

You must to know you can not flash any custom boot image while your phone bootloader is locked! You can flash boot.img by command dd but your phone will not boot (only can boot after unlocking bootloader)!!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] scrubber:
munjeni Hello! Good news! When the core will come out for SOLA? We are looking forward to it!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CiscoX:
Hi munjeni!

Are you gonna add support for init.d (scripts) and maybe add some speed/smooth tweaks to make ICS run better?

I have been testing your ROM + kernel from your first post, and my phone is to much laggy and the battery drain like he...

I also used my own stock ICS ROM from SUS that i got for 1 week ago, and that one are laggy too.

But i'm still gonna test your new kernel's :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] eoghan2t7:
if you want init.d support run this script on your phone.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CiscoX:
Hi.

Thanks i already have tried that one too, and seems not to work, the example script works, but my script don't work :( i have a script that change the hostname of the phone and it work if you add it via ROM Toolbox Lite but not if you put it inside init.d and i have also changed permission to, 0644, 0755, 0777 nothing help. Maybe my script need some modifying :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] eoghan2t7:
post your script please.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CiscoX:
Thanks :)

I have sent you an PM :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] munjeni:
Do not install, wait few days! I will add these simple thing, just better way is running these things (busybox run-parts) as a service on boot... so will add one line in init and one folder (init.d)...!

Hi,

some how your latest kernel release seems more laggy compared to your previous release... or is it me??.... hahaha some how feel that way...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] munjeni:
Yes, v8 was faster because was compiled with Linaro toolchain (you can see link about Linaro in first post), but kernel compiled with Linaro had mem leaks and sometimes reboot phone, so I going to use standard google toolchain provided in android source...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] calvin_ng:
wow thanks for your confirmation,

yes I notice some mem leaks and phone freezes using Linaro... hope you can come out of some thing better on the stock build as the durrent stock kernel really lag... no idea why sony approve this kernel but the user experience really bad
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ukunilus:
After flashing last v8 my wifi didnt work, so i flashd back to v7, but the wifi still wount turn on, any ideas?

Tried also to clear chace and dalviks chace no luck.

Only after restoring backup from cwm wifi is working again.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] calvin_ng:
I have no issue what so ever
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Limitless83:
Just flashed the latest V8 over the previous(Linaro)... damn my phone is slower, but at least it's not locking up, and my battery seems to behave better (with the linaro one it discharged 40% over one night without use!)

still the wifi keeps acting up... anyone else having this problem?

@ Munjeni : I see you're very active in the Rom dev sections, are you still working on stock rom kernels or are you working on CM9

and waiting to release further updates?

edit: Thanks for all the hard work so far and your efforts with the customs Roms

I have 6.1.1.B.1.10 on 3.0.8+ android 4.0.4 st27i (Go)

It's rooted and bootlocker is open.

Have a question since phone don't have recovery, is there a way to ekstract and flash boot.img from v9 zip (zip for recovery) since zip recovery have more installed options, and I don't have recovery partition installed.

Is anyone tried this yet ?

Thx in advance
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nosmaster:
yes there is if you download the zip the boot.img is in there just extract connect you phone in fastboot mode and

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot

to enter recovery press vol+ on startup
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] StratOS_HTC:
Tried

Have tried and it worked ok.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Limitless83:
Anyone else having problems with WiFi?

my phone does crazy sh*t, after a while my Wifi just stops responding, gets stuck, can't turn it on or of and i have te reboot my phone.

is this kernel related ( i had the problem with previous versions too)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] munjeni:
Flash v9 trought recovery menu "install zip from sd card" because zip contain needed modules for wifi and other things! Version v10 with nerwork srats fix and boot animation fix soon!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ukunilus:
Ok, this was also reason for my problem, beacuse i flashed via fastboot. Now with v9 wifi is ok.

Do i understand correctly that this is not using Linaro and should not have also these occasional boot and freeze problems? This was the reason i was still using v7.

edit: v9 sad news phone freezed and restarted. Happened then removed charger and tried to unlock the screen, couldnt repeat this thow

Hi munjeni.

It is possible to extract your boot.img? I like to learn how you add the init.d support. I see you have added system\bin\sysinit, but belive i have to edit boot.img to add a line somewhere there to tell it to run sysinit at boot.

The problem is, i always get a error when i try to extract your boot.img

"Android Magic not found in boot.img"

"Android 'magic' header not found at state of boot.img"

EDIT:

The tools i have been trying to use to extract the boot.img is:

- Android Kernel Kitchen

- Dsixda's Android Kitchen

Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] StratOS_HTC:
Bootlogo - how to

Nice boot logo :)

Like to change it,have found the way to change xperia logo, but not the sony one :confused:

Guess it has to be in boot.img. Found a lot of dissasemblers for the elf files, stucked ...

Guess i want the directions like CiscoX ...

Is there any tool or compiler for this ?

Thx in advance
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] munjeni:
Hi, good idea! I will make new tool in recovery tools menu just for changing logo :)

Guys, I integrated tools in CWM for extracting/packing/changing recovery skin...etc for boot images, you can see tools in recovery tools menu! To unpack: press menu "sony cwm skin tool", than perform "step 1" and you have boot image unpacked! You can mount internal sdcard and you can see there folder "skin" and inside these folder you can see: sec0.bin(its zImage), sec1.bin(its initrd.gz), sec2.bin(its cmdline), sec3.bin and res folder(skin for recovery)... so you can modify these files and create new boot.img by "step 2"... you know that? I am sure you know now! You can make your own recovery skin (but please do not open new thread, just post your skin here)...;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] calvin_ng:
bro, your latest release v10 has wifi issue

portable wifi freeze the entire wifi ....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] munjeni:
These release have custom kernel and diferent method for "insmod" kernel modules... kernel modules is "insmod" by init.d script (I "insmod" all kernel modules on boot time, so maybe one of these modules is not needed with wifi and need to be disabled when wifi is enabled...)... you can try/test to disable some modules in script (/system/etc/init.d/01modules), for example you can disable nls_utf8.ko and cifs.ko, or maybe tun.ko... let me know... !
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OverdiveKill:
so basically these:

are CWM versions for ics on xperia go? Sounds cool! And btw, which version is the best? im new to all this root-stuff...

EDIT: Now that im reading the 1st post again im kinda confused... is the CWM for ICS Xperia go or GB?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] olkawe:
Hallo

if you are on ICS, then you can use this kernel. A few posts back is described how to get the kernel via fasboot on your phone.

If you are on GB follow the other thread from munjeni.

Greetings, olkawe
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] munjeni:
V10 is latest so you can install v10! Installing via fastboot is only if you have no recovery, but after installing via fastboot you need to install complete these zip trought recovery menu "install zip from sd card" because fastboot can not install other things that is in zip for example fastboot can not install kernel modules from zip... bla bla, after installing via fastboot do not forget to install these zip from recovery (your wifi...etc will not be working if you skip these step)!!! If you allready have recovery installed than you can siple install these zip from recovery menu "install zip from sd card"! Our recovery is only for unlocked boot loader and stock ICS version 6.1.1.B.1.10, not Gingerbread! For Gingerbread you can see another thread !
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OverdiveKill:
and which version is faster? i run stock ICS (kernel 6.1.1.B.1.10) if thats of any use

im so noob at those things...

EDIT: i just saw your post from above and i want to tell you that i have stock ics rom but locked bootloader(i think)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] munjeni:
Than skip this thread... this one is for unlocked bootloader only and stock ICS!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ukunilus:
For unlocking your bootloader: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/

Just make sure you follow guide

step-by-step

, also that you will have factory reset so all the phone data will be lost, make backup if you need.

As this is development thread i suggest you place all next questions under QA forum or under Xperia GO group (see my signature). Good luck!

v10, yes, very nice bootlogo! :) Also the bootlogo change possibility from CWM sounds great!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] StratOS_HTC:
Nice job for integracion of cwm recovery skin,but still have problem finding sony bootloader image in image.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] munjeni:
Its in initrd.gz (ramdisk)... :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OverdiveKill:
And is it safe to unlock my bootloader?

EDIT: I just saw from my service menu that I can unlock my phones bootloader. So if its safe and there is no chance of bricking my phone I will do it tommorow.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] calvin_ng:
your warranty just void thats all...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OverdiveKill:
and is there any difference in the battery usage between this and stock ics?? because i need my phone to have a lot of battery every day...
