:D :D :D I hope it will be a Christmas gift (okay, I know you are muslim and this is not important for you :)) I don't think this is awesome, just I want to get the maximum from this old and weak phone. :) I have lot of idea, and now I found some solutions to finish some from these ideas. :) For example the modular language system is working good, the rom is smaller (example: MiniCM7 with gapps is only a 70MB zip update) and you can get more free RAM (approx 5-10MB additional free ram, now I have around 105-110MB free RAM with MiniCM7 without any supercharger or other tweak). The kernel need some testing, the code looks like final now. :) But the 8MB maximum size is decrease the possibilities. :( Looks like the kernel image, 2 recovery and 3 different ramdisk can be fit in this small size. :D If I found a few additional space maybe the AromaFM also possible in this hybrid solution... (now removing all unnecessary code from the kernel, and make external modules from not important things (for example the old ext2 not needed, but better if available as module if someone want it) :D

Flashing pilu's kernel.......

Flash complete.

What...X8 is evolving....

X8 evolved into HD2

^no...he does not deserve RD title.....he should get a ELITE RD title:D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

I think it will NOT turn our phone to HD2 ;) Do not want extreme big differences compared to other kernels. Basically it will be a special alfs build (based on alfs8/9) with few changes, new frequency table, some minor changes to solve the mddi clock rate setting errors and minimize the "traditional" hitachi bug in alfs9, few code from nAa kernels to make it more comfortable (the 90% or more of the roms based on MiniCM sources), and really lot of cleaning, dropped or moved into external modules some unwanted/non-working thing (OTG support, old ext2 drivers, etc). So, the binary part of the kernel is not a big thing. :) The biggest part of "whats new" is in the ramdisk, under the boot process the ramdisk is changeable to another depends on the rom type. :) About the JB support: I'm not 100% it will be included or not. I can't accept the custom partitioning, because it made more problems than real solutions. The JB roms is big, but lot of another solution exists, like the removing of unwanted resources, or the modular language system (I think all user use only ONE language on her/his phone ;)) This method need some additional work, but really usable way. With MiniCM7 I gain approx 10MB of free space, and same amount of additional free RAM if the rom contains only the default US english and hungarian (my native) language. The apps is smaller -> faster loading -> less memory usage. And all language available in separated zip updates (not need to make big updates with all apps for each language, just need to replace all resources.arsc files inside the apks with a simple script). :)

@CnC-ROCK: Oh man, you are 25,55 times more active than me... :D (the post per day value) :D :D :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CnC-ROCK:
so with basically a kernel with 3 ramdisks....a better alternative to cwm flashable kernels.... i see a elite RD roaming around in X8 forums now..:p

i aint got no social life.. so i put my time here...........
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
:) I'm not interested in "how to get a special title on xda" business. And don't worry I also have zero social life :crying: I changed it to a wife and a children (and the second children arriving soon) :D :D :D

Maybe it was a bad business :laugh: ;) :p

And you are right, basically it will be a kernel with multiple ramdisks. :) The truth is a little bit complicated, because need to find the balance for the kernel drivers to work on different roms. :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] CnC-ROCK:
congrats bro....;)..so after next version you ready to put up twrp news on portal?

@sgt...the transparency part in button is removed... so dont worry about it now..

and getting back at pilu...i see this..in ui.xml

<font resource="mediumfont" color="%button_text_color%" />

can we directly put hexadecimal values in the color parameter?.. if not then how to change the color of text?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
I not play with these values yet, and now I'm far from the "android machine" (at least 5 meters of distance ;)) so, I can't answer to this question. But basically you can give the color codes directly. If not work, and want to use different colors for each buttons (I don't know what is your goal with this value) just define new variables (button_text_color_1, button_text_color_2, etc...)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
@pilu1978

Yeah you do that for GB/ICS. I'll look after JB. LOL.

In the next release I'll work on feherneoh's nBoot, provided I can include your standalone TWRP. Really looking forward to that.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
Yes, the dual-boot is a good idea. :) I don't know why not working with the jb kernels. :( Earlier I want to use it, my idea was a dual system with a primary full featured rom and a secondary, really light rom without phone functions just like a PMP or a game console. :) But this is suspended now, I working on too much thing (the kernel, the TeamWin project and a rom too) in same time, so it will be only in the distant future... :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
That means I'll work on it. It's probably because of the way nAa-JB mounts different storages. Please take your time with the other projects and let me look into this. I literally beg of you. Oh, and pilu1978, I love you for what you do for our device. :p
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
I just want to do what I can. ;) I hope I can finish everything in the next 3 weeks while I not working on real works.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
But please let me work on the dual boot script. Please I beg of you.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
As I wrote: I suspended the dual boot idea :) You can work on this :D

EDIT: Better if we stop this conversations here, because we will get a warning from a moderator due the too less development related and too much personal related words. :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
No. If I'm taking ideas from this conversation, it cannot really be considered spam. ;)

Idea: Backport SmartassH3 and backport newer ondemand governor features (powerboost)

Trolled from my X8 using xda premium
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
@Daveee10

SmartassH3 contains ZTE Skate specific tweaks if I'm not wrong. Therefore I need some help here, making similar tweaks for the X8.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] NaKuO:
sdcard formatted:crying:

just got my sdcard formatted.

i was on naa_jn-03 and felt like testing oxydo-jb.

what i did:

1. flash kernel. initially everything ok.

2. i misdeleted some file, so i reinstall minicm10-4.0.2. then i found gapps were missing.

3. i install gapps with cwm, not successful, so redo with twrp, ended formatted.

4. i copied gapps n minicm into sdcard n retry, msg said ' tmp/recovery.log' not find, n sdcard got formatted again.

:crying:
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Daveee10:
SmartassH3 CPU Governor - new governor based on SmartassV2 containing CPU freq. scaling tweaks by H3ROS - should bring better battery life maintaining performance
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Daveee10:
Other schedulers works?? I think not... I think how this problem is ramdisk issue (no permission for write file what szore the setted up governor)

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
@razgoth

You can change it using SetCPU. It works. I get the same thing you're facing on the 31st nightly, too. And what tweaks did you use? What 3D score did you get? I got around 2357 (if I remember correctly). Oh and what sdcard are you using?

@Daveee10

I found the governor.c file. I'm going through it, but it would be far more helpful if I could just differentiate between two TXT files. I can easily find the changes that way.

@Nakuo

I am sorry about your sdcard, but this rarely happens. It happened to me only once. I couldn't revive my 4GB sdcard. I think it happens only on kernels with TWRP. But you should know it happens rarely. I am extremely sorry if your experience with this kernel hasn't been as smooth as you'd expect. And what did CWM say before failing to flash Gapps? Maybe it's something that can be fixed. I don't really use Gapps and haven't tested it.

@all

Please read through the whole OP carefully before flashing.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
@Daveee10

I think this is helpful: http://www.diffchecker.com/370X21mm

Diff check between smartassv2 for our phone and smartassh3 for ZTE Skate.

Should be easy to implement it now.

I have a question.

What do these terms mean? I couldn't understand from the definition, and you're a dev, so....

a) DEFAULT_RAMP_UP_STEP

b) DEFAULT_RAMP_DOWN_STEP

c) DEFAULT_DOWN_RATE_US

Thanks in advance.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] mayurcools:
same thing happened with me twice so i stopped using TWRP ....
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] NaKuO:
yeah, i know it is rarely happen, 1st time to me, considered lucky enough.

CWM install Gapps completed normally but when check inside nothing installed. Possible be script problem?

I tried few times with CWM, only could flash thru TWRP. If not install with TWRP is there other way to do it? can l copy into system/app folder one by one with file manager?

tq.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Daveee10:
Don't change that values... That's good for our device... Only needed change the function inputs and outputs because the zte kernel using newer version...

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
@razgoth (awesome name)

If I'm not wrong, Deadline or any other schedulers shouldn't have any conflict with any tweak. But I think limiting the number of processes can slightly hinder Deadline's job. I'm not sure about that though. Hmmm, I have been getting lower scores in my later runs. But I don't really care about benchmark scores as long as my phone acts fast, which it does. I can't compare it with CM7 ROMs or a dual-core phone now, can I? ;)

@Daveee10

This is going to be my first backport. So could you please help me out by giving me an example of what needs to be changed? Thanks in advance.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Daveee10:
Like this:

static ssize_t show_up_rate_us(struct kobject *kobj, struct attribute *attr, char *buf)

to:

static ssize_t show_up_rate_us(struct cpufreq_policy *policy, char *buf)

or

this:

static ssize_t store_up_rate_us(struct kobject *kobj, struct attribute *attr, const char *buf, size_t count)

to:

static ssize_t store_up_rate_us(struct cpufreq_policy *policy, const char *buf, size_t count)

or simple use from JBMP :)

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
Oh I did that bit already. I thought I had to change some other frequencies too. Thanks for the help. Really appreciate it.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Daveee10:
Why change frequencies?? That's good with unchanged values....
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
I thought the ZTE Skate used some different frequencies for wake and sleep. Thanks for clearing that up.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Daveee10:
No, the values for governor, not for the phone...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
So those values aren't related to the available CPU frequencies. Will try using your one. Seems much simpler that way. I'll also try your Deadline tweaks. Thanks for the help. Really appreciate it.

CWM Problem

I have a problem, I can not backup my rom via cwm ... backup in cwm not working ... and this resulted in missing data on sd card, think about why is that? please help me ..:crying:

#sorry for my bad english
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] nano-kun:
+1

me too, I lost all of my data on micro sd after trying to backup via CWM.

actually I love oxydo kernel because it is faster but because of CWM now I'm back to nAa kernel.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
CWM backups is a known problem. I used a separate version for testing and the problem persists even with the recovery nAa-JB uses. I'd suggest having a backup of the sdcard (because sometimes it gets formatted; reason: unknown) and using TWRP. It works fine.

Please read the first few posts of the thread before making any such complaints.

Thank you.

sgt. meow
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] opickmael:
ok i'm so sorry...but thanks for your hard work..i love your kernel
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
@opickmael

I didn't mean to be rude. And thank you for appreciating my work and using it. Much appreciated. I'm still trying to find out the error in the CWM backup thingy, but in the meantime, TWRP's doing the job for me.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
@sgt. meow: some suggestion :) try to use the original nAa ramdisk, and test the recovery. Looks like the original nAa-JB kernel is the only one what have fully working CWM recovery (I not tested, so I'm not 100% sure). You and Daveee10 use different CWM (you use the old touch CWM from alfs, and as I know Daveee10 use an own modded CWM version), both kernel have problems with recovery. Or compile the CWM from the JB source tree without any modification, and test it. The original nAa-JB ramdisk support the recovery from the /recovery partition, put the TWRP there and test it.

About the TWRP bug with the formatted sd-card: I don't know why appear this strange bug, I can't reproduce it... A few days ago I revert back to the public preview version, and at least 30 times I did this: flash kernel with twrp -> install a rom -> reboot -> install another rom -> reboot -> flash another kernel (various versions from nAa and alfs) and start the whole procedure, but nothing happened, I not have problem with my sdcard (I used two card and changed it after every 4-5 round with the listed procedure).

As I wrote it recently, the TWRP project is only in preview stage, and I not saw concrete warnings for the users: USE IT WITH YOUR OWN RISK :) Better if you make a version without TWRP to determine the source of the sd format bug (I think this is NOT the TWRP, but nothing impossible) ;)

Final note about the TWRP: I use it with CM7, because for me the ICS and JB roms is not enough fast and stable (this is ONLY MY OPINION :D). So, I can't give real help related to TWRP problems with ICS/JB. I used the JB branch from the official TWRP repo, and nothing modified what is related to the sdcard.

And I must say it is very nice. Goodbye nova!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sdobron:
Not ready to use yet. Still has lots of lag compared with Nova..nice to see ADW isn't dead though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CMNein:
It's a pretty good update; I used to love ADW EX when I was on GB and on ICS prior to other launchers getting up to speed. I like a lot of things about the new update, the "action bar" is nice for a tablet UI.

Two things that are missing:

-double tap gesture,

-a provision to make ADW settings available under Settings>Launcher.

That said it does offer a lot of customization that other launchers don't have, icon size, select glow colour, etc...

[General Questions and Answers] chevro1et:
First of all, please excuse my ignorance/ lack of knowledge on the subject. Currently shopping for my first Android phone, and I live in South Korea. Of the custom roms that are developed for North American/ European markets, will they be compatible with a Korean carrier/ phone, or will the kernel be different and render these roms useless for me? Be gentle.

Will the the pogo pin connection be used for a stand/charging/media dock only or shall we hope for a keyboard as well?

It is meant for all of the above that you just mentioned :P

Hopefully Google/Samsung support it with a wide range of accessories.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Immortal-King:
I just hope the keyboard doesn't cost 100€ like others. That's 1/4 of the device. There isn't much technology inside a keyboard...

What's the chance of seeing a keyboard cover a la the MS Touch Cover, or a dock a la the Transformer series?
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Quentin himself:
I'm waiting for too.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] athorax:
While the technology might not be that impressive in a keyboard, they usually include an extended battery in the keyboard. That alone is worth a decent amount of money. That and a normal keyboard is easily ~$50 or more. I don't think that is a terrible price to pay for the convenience and functionality.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] sen-cha:
The Surface keyboard cover is a great idea, but $120 extra (with Surface), ouch.

[Nexus 10 Accessories] Techie2012:
Is it really possible to have a keyboard dock for this tablet? The tablet doesn't have hinges where the dock would attach and be secured to, so unfortunately I don't think it will be possible.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Despyse:
What? There is a pogo pin connector on the bottom in between two slots for something to snap into (like the prime tablet implementation). This is obviously not used for the cover, as that uses the top part of the back, so the pogo and slots should be for some dock/keyboard of some kind. Would be shocked to find they don't make them.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] -Zeppelin-:
I'll get my surface in the next few days, but if it 's no fit for me, then I so hope for a battery/keyboard dock...

Here's a nice keyboard accessory:

http://phandroid.com/2012/11/01/logitech-bluetooth-android-keyboard-only-10-better-hurry-deals/

should fit the nexus 10. No sd card slot, uses bluetooth.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Samzebian:
I would love something comparable to the Transformer dock for the Asus transformer prime series. Adds a USB port, full size SD reader, 6 hours of extra battery and a full keyboard.

The only way to improve on that would be a backlit keyboard and USB 3.0 instead of 2.0.... Maybe a blu-ray drive? I can dream:cyclops:
[Nexus 10 Accessories] whoster69:
Hmmm... I wonder if the keyboard could have a microSD card?
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Quentin himself:
I think the only viable way to get a SDCard reader is to have a keyboard using: either MicroUSB, or pogo-pin. You can't have suffisant speed transfert in wireless connection (just the WiFi one can I think but very slowly) including Bluetooth, NFC, etc...

Why am I looking for a keyboard using a wired connection? Because it will use less (almost nothing) energy (maybe even give more energy (like the transformer's keyboard/dock)) and therefore we could dream for a SDCard reader (I don't care), a full-size USB port (even if you can already put a stick to convert micro to full-size). Anyway, I want a tablet to replace my old laptop (Linux on it, keyboard and that's it.) And the only tablet I'm pretty sure will receive Linux is the Nexus 10 (we have seen the Canonical's work for Ubuntu on Nexus 7).

BTW there is a "big" market for this, I'm sure. You just have to see the number of person like me looking for that kind of keyboard.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Techie2012:
Although a keyboard dock could have a SD slot, it is unlikely.

According to Google (can't remember where I read this), one of the main reasons why there isn't a SD card is because it would be close to impossible to support multi-login funcionality with SD support. THe card would have to be sectioned for different users and since you can swap cards and mess with their content etc etc it makes it even more difficult to get this to work safely.
[Nexus 10 Accessories] -Zeppelin-:
Therefore USB :)

Gesendet von meinem LG-P990 mit Tapatalk 2
[Nexus 10 Accessories] Quentin himself:
One of the reason to lack of SDCard reader in all Nexus Device since the Galaxy Nexus (maybe even Nexus S can't verify now) is that Google claims it's not enough stable (cause of multiple bugs). And if I remember well, it was said some months ago that Google would make mandatory (they didn't) to avoid SDCard reader on all Android device!
[Nexus 10 Accessories] xxkennynycxx:
To me it seems the real reason is to give you small local space and force the cloud, which forces you to use your data. That's if your lucky, after hurricane Sandy the cloud is completely useless in those areas. They have the capability to make it "stable", these phones are more powerful then full blown PCs a few years ago.
