IMHO it is more feasible to concentrate on fixing everything in CM9.1 and backporting features from CM10/CM10.1. For CM9.1 there is more source code available and much more is working already. It seems that even FXP can't fix everything in CM10, for example the front camera. My guess is there will be too little manpower/knowledge to fix CM10, let alone to make CM10.1 working.

It looks like most people focus on CM10, but IMHO it is better to have a complete working phone than a somewhat faster phone with some new features, but with a lot of broken things (see my signature for working/not working lists for CM9.1/CM10). There will always be a newer latest and greatest version of CM and it is an illusion to think it is going to run on Xperia 2011 devices.

I am already providing a custom CM9.1 ROM/kernel for Xperia Mini / Mini pro (see my signature) and I will continue to do so. Contributions are welcome ...
[Xperia Arc General] IdeosDev:
ICS/JB Should be complete with 3.0 kernel but that i think should get around within I9001

I am not kernel developer so can't comment much but we shall see thing progressing soon after the jump :)

Hi guys :)

How is developing of android 4.2 going ? :)
[Xperia Arc General] Yovecio:
What do you mean? We are near a first release of a bootable 3.x kernel?
[Xperia Arc General] gandhar:
i believe he means

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9001_galaxy_s_plus-3908.php

it also has a msm8255 chipset, and perhaps a 3.0 kernel.

which i am reading now is caf based so thats nice i guess

i agree with M66B, making cm9 stable would be more logical,

but i am just a bystander in all this kernel talk, so i don't know s!@#.

I am sure that there will be someone in this community who can help u out with that kernel... If you want I can ask all the kernel builders of this community to work together with you. Do u want me to send them mp's?

I have a pc ready for building android (quad-core 3,4ghz, 12gb ram, 400gb hdd) if you need help in compiling & testing. I own an Xperia Mini ST15i.
[Xperia Arc General] sinholueiro:
The Desire HD have a 3.0 kernel too and also have a 8255T. Maybe it can help...

On the other hand, the SGS have a 4.2 preview with a couple of issues. Seems to run smooth and able to run in 512MB of RAM.

I know this guys! :P

@Tj_style i have on friends on XDA, and i sometime speak with him...

@squadzone, i know him, i sometimes see him, but now ho work on him #CyanMobile (this is Android 2.3 custom opensource rom). Now @squadzone not use XDA, only madteam.co.

I know this guys because i have Samsung GT-S5570, but they not have Xperia msm7x30 phone.

So...
[Xperia Arc General] Yovecio:
I'm really interested on this project, because i know that is possible to see a 3.x kernel on our phones :laugh:

I have a good pc, and i have good programming skill, but i must say the truth, i have never tryed to develop rom or kernel, so i maybe can help but before i must learn a bit... :fingers-crossed:

Like say N1kolaa we can start work on yet started project like caf kernel 3.x by kamarush and expeacer.

We can ask help to good kernel developers like Jimbo77, wedgess, thegreatsega,Zackconsole and other developers from other xperia sub forums(xperia play, neo, ray etc) and we can ask a help to galaxy s develeopers who have already ported this kernel, and the same for htc one s

Let's hope! :p
[Xperia Arc General] n1kolaa:
Zackconsole is not kernel developer

i was think to add that link read cearfull
[Xperia Arc General] AntiBillOS:
Hmmm... I am done build AOSP but in end it cant make otapackage and then i try to flash system.img it stacks on sending system...

I think i need upload source to you guys...

Lets work toggether?
[Xperia Arc General] kaushikpasi:
This is certainly upsetting lot of users as 2011 xperia phones did not even finish their 18 months and this 1½ year update was promised by the company :mad:
[Xperia Arc General] AntiBillOS:
So guys:

Here is device configuration edited by me for AOSP:

https://github.com/AntiBillOS/antibillos_aosp_device_semc
[Xperia Arc General] kamarush:
I've already booted a week ago 4.2.....

The reason why we didn't posted it's pretty simple... The .32 kernel is a lot s**t for the new android. Need a lot update, to be able to handle the new changes in the rom, both framework and lib side.

The second thing is, i hate when we post something new, then appears a bunch of annoying noob people, who can only say; this not working, that not working, fix this, fix that...

Those people who know me, know clearly what am i talking about.

If you guys need help i'm here..
[Xperia Arc General] kamarush:
Yes i've stopped, because this **** using non-standard kernel drivers and headers... It's booting, and this is all. None of the drivers aren't working...

So the api change in the source not enough. It's need to rewrite the whole SE stuff. This means months of development, of course alone... Like always -_-"

So, i don't know is it worth or not, to continue.

About rom side; The jb 4.2 one thing... But the future releases it's sure we can't use "normally". Because of the second bad thing: the old blobs, and "only" 512 ram.
[Xperia Arc General] AntiBillOS:
But can you upload you sources?
[Xperia Arc General] gandhar:
do you mean rom source?

kernel source is here

https://github.com/kamarush/CAF_android-msm-3.0
[Xperia Arc General] AntiBillOS:
No. I mean device configs.
[Xperia Arc General] n1kolaa:
there is no configuration for arc

@karmush can you use some parts form doomlord port he allready port a lot of semc code
[Xperia Arc General] kamarush:
If you check my sources, those things are already made...

And that's what i'm talked about, that's only according to api change.

About the defconfig, use a working one as reference. You need to replace just the specific lines, like panel, touch and etc.

Btw. the booting means, the init part get start to run, and that's all. That means none of the drivers are working. Only can see a lot error code @uart debug..
[Xperia Arc General] kamarush:
Yeah. I'll push soon.
[Xperia Arc General] yonzz:
I hope Sony still give us a last "give" for us before they stop updating xperia 2011. Even they dont give us official JB, i hope they still provide us Kernel 3.0 :(
[Xperia Arc General] kamarush:
This will be remain just a dream/hope :)

Even the 2010 line didn't got higher kernel than 2.6.29...
[Xperia Arc General] Ghostfreak NB:
Neither is gonna happen from Sony atleast tbh

Though I haven't lost hope coz of devs over here!
[Xperia Arc General] gandhar:
how about we ask him if he can do anything,

he is the sony developer relations or something guy.

http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=4060395

i would do it myself, but i think coming from a recognized developer should mean something.

thank you
[Xperia Arc General] kamarush:
If you think about a little further, sony isn't interested to make higher kernel, or better rom anymore... It's simple marketing strategy :rolleyes:

Ohhh and the point is SONY not Sony Ericcson, what doesn't exist :)
[Xperia Arc General] AntiBillOS:
No, bro :(

Remember: sony su**s.
[Xperia Arc General] gandhar:
yeah i guess, they obviously won't do it now,

i meant something like,

if they had done something and left if half,and they see no harm in sharing it, then guys here could take it up and build on it.

its very unlikely i know,
[Xperia Arc General] kamarush:
Check the Xperia S 2.6.35 kernel sources. SE started to make that for us, because there's a half updated mogami board, and some drivers are too ;) But it's abandoned some reason... and made that for the XS...
[Xperia Arc General] kamarush:
No-no :)

Sony cares about the customers.

We have Sony Ericsson, don't forget this :p

By the way, is it possible to port a kernel from other device that have same SoC? I saw at Galaxy W and S Plus forum that they currently build they own kernel 3.

Here :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1938811

Galaxy W have a same chip as xperia 2011 series. it's MSM 8255 too :)

Or we can ask the dev how to build kernel 3.

Oh, i found that huawei honor have a chip that same to us (msm8255) and their ICS have official kernel 3.xx, can it be ported?

I'm sorry if its a noob post, i'm just trying to help the devs about kernel 3 in other device, maybe we can port it to our device.
[Xperia Arc General] AntiBillOS:
Be not bad if you provide "not fake" source code for us! :D
[Xperia Arc General] expeacer:
The SE implemented their code to standard Linux code in very suck way... So we need to rewrite almost all the drivers. It's very hard work. And we don't know why we need to make this? I sold my phone, Kamarush too, and we are both moved along to new devices. We can't test anything...
[Xperia Arc General] n1kolaa:

[Xperia Arc General] expeacer:
Okey, you know... We wanna release 4.2 in the mid of the next week, but now I'll stop fully the development to Xperia 2011 series, and I'll delete all of source from my Git, and everywhere, and I think I will not be alone. ;)

We just want to give place to new devs, who will get more respect then us.

Who knew, i was just getting the errors because i was on a 32bit system. Meaning i can't compile JB on my machine, as some libs were built with 64bit architecture. But not to worry, i sent all the stuff, as in sources, guide etc to @dympy, who can compile it for me on his 64bit machine....

Very mature. No offense man but why would you do that. Ones opinion does not represent the whole community. Majority of people here are grateful for what you guys do here.

Thanks

Guys your work will be missed and we probably won't get devs like you two and FXP again but we appreciate everything you did and thanks for all your time and effort into these older devices. I understand your frustration with a few people but they don't represent the whole xperia 2011 community. Whatever you decide to do, good luck with it :)

[Xperia Arc General] bluestricker_21:
trying to help here

maybe you can ask this person how he manage to create 3.0 kernel for galaxy s

i know he is not an xperia developer but he is a good kernel developers..

:) can someone ask him to help xperia users to teach us deeper on how to build a kernel ;)
[Xperia Arc General] SJD-Vampire:
It'd be better not to make decision in response to a few percent of communiti'es behavior,

Anyway thanks for your contributions and be sure many people here appreciates what you have done.
[Xperia Arc General] Fremen567:
As a former SGS1 user I agree with you. Pawitp is great developer. Theres alreadt good 4.2 release by him for SGS1.

You have to understand that Nexus S has pretty much the same hardware as SGS 1 and that makes everything a lot easier to include porting/making/ building roms and kernel as well.
[Xperia Arc General] bluestricker_21:
Yup i know that..

But i was referring to a person who can help us in building a

3.0 kernel not the rom, we already have good developers who can port

Roms but we have shortage when it comes to kernel developers;)

[Xperia Arc General] kamarush:

[Xperia Arc General] Yovecio:
So we are very far from a bootable kernel right?
[Xperia Arc General] n1kolaa:
no , none of karmush and expacer ported kernel works
[Xperia Arc General] kamarush:
NONE of the ported kernel working.....

Doom, me, adridu, azuzu, jerpelea and other DEVS who worked on kernel port project. So just calm down, and think a little, how do you talking from us.

We made everything here, what the people using, or building on the top of it.

I think we deserve a little respect. Not this behavior like what you doing.

Edit:

Almost forgot. Just a little reminder, with "same" changes in the kernel, a samsung, htc or other device is booting with higher kernel..

Looks like fxp will start developing cm10.1 for our devices

Check cm10 thread guyz
[Xperia Arc General] AntiBillOS:
Why you think so? (I shure if it true i see it on their sources)
[Xperia Arc General] Boudin:
Did you find what is preventing the kernel from booting ?
[Xperia Arc General] kes4817:
they are not yet build.

bur that is true. you will see source at FXP's page
[Xperia Arc General] Yovecio:
I've read the same on the official fxp thread... :laugh:

But now we can ask their help, to complete kernel :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Arc General] bluestricker_21:
Yup..if (maybe) they release cm10.1 with 3.0 kernel

We can use it as a based to improve performance
[Xperia Arc General] emwno:
Maybe just the kernel and not the rom as base. Building from source yourself is much better.
[Xperia Arc General] bluestricker_21:
Yup..that was i meant to say..
[Xperia Arc General] Yovecio:
I think that cm10 is good enought for me, and i think that we should only apreciate and thanks fxp's work, because if they didn't work on jb we will be yet stuck with a laggy ics. So cm10.1 is irrelevant.

But i think that a new kernel updated is more important
[Xperia Arc General] expeacer:
Ye, they'll make 3.0 kernel :rolleyes:
[Xperia Arc General] MarioJerkovic:
I agree with you i also think that the kernel 3 is more important :) i wiss you good luck with building kernel 3.0 :D
[Xperia Arc General] n1kolaa:
i hope :)
[Xperia Arc General] Boudin:
It's very unlikely since FXP team already said they won't...
[Xperia Arc General] n1kolaa:
lol Portng 3.0. was started first by doom at januar 2012 ,
[Xperia Arc General] Boudin:
Yes but it's obviously something that needs lot of works. CM 10.1 for 2011 lineup will surely be treated as a side-project by FXP team. Since they were reluctant to port CM10.1 on those phones because of the work it imply, I think they won't add a lot more of it by porting 3.0 kernel.
[Xperia Arc General] luiseteyo:
What are we arguing if they said they wouldn't build it? :confused:
[Xperia Arc General] AntiBillOS:
Lets stop noob talk! We have info so let wait new info from FXP.
[Xperia Arc General] progosu:
there's really no point for fxp to start working on 3.0 kernel for 2011 devices. Guys you have to meet the facts, our phones are not old, but have really bad specs... a new kernel won't suddenly make the arc/s extremely powerful so it could handle the newest firmwares. Lack of RAM is the biggest issue here imo, and come on, a single core processor? not worth it at all, giving a fact that most of us will get a new, incomparably more powerful phone in the next year.
[Xperia Arc General] n1kolaa:
way trolling here?

look at nexus s antutu score and look at our(we have faster gpu and beter procesor)

ram is not big problem i think rom is bigger problem.
[Xperia Arc General] progosu:
so trolling is now having an own opinion for a given subject, get a life.

btw read nexus s' board, they all complain on how slow, laggy and bugged is android 4.x.x on their devices.
[Xperia Arc General] Konstantinosj77:
LOL,i just read the first 10 and the last 10 pages of this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1989045 and there are mixed opinions...so your point is wrong!Not everyone is complaining about the 4.2 update! Also you said "4.X.X" look carefully...EVERYBODY who does not like the 4.2 update is downgrading to 4.1 BECAUSE ITS MORE STABLE!!! So that point is also wrong cause 4.0.4 is stable enough and fast,same goes for 4.1!Know why?! Because kernel 3.0 has vsync support!!!Everybody says that around here...
[Xperia Arc General] progosu:
yeah and everyone who installed 4.0.4 is downgrading to GB. FXP won't work on 3.0 because they know it's extremely stupid, deal with it.
[Xperia Arc General] Konstantinosj77:
Hm..ok...its extremely stupid to work on kernel 3 but its normal to work on android 4.2...ok seems legit...btw nobody pushed FXP to do anything!! Just thanks this guys for spending their free time on our buggy phones!! I wont comment any further cause this is lame..really?!There is anybody with galaxy nexus who is using GB?!

I am not going to spam the thread. I am not going to ask for an ETA, or either say thanks (because I already pressed THANKS button). I only wanted to say that it would be great if u could share that initial pre-alpha ONLY WITH DEVS that want to fix bugs. I am not talking about me, cause I don't have enough knowledge to do that. It is only an advice. Since u don't own an arcs, the rest of the people could divide work or bugs to start fixing everything right now. Think About it please
