IMPORTANT

I'm gonna upload a test version now BUT BUT BUT:

1. this version has no modification

2. this version has Sony's configurations.

3. this version doesn't include IO schedulers and CPU governors

THE ONLY THING CHANGED IN THIS VERSION IS ITS UPDATED TO LINUX KERNEL 3.0.56 rather than the current version 3.0.8

I tried many times to update the kernel to this version but always fail at compile time.

I want someone to PLEASE test if the kernel boots before I attempt to include my changes :)

WILL BE UPLOADING IN MINUTES.

So who is willing to test it for me please :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] megablakbar:
I wish but I don't have a pc now dam it
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
it's ok bro, I hope by the time you get to your PC this kernel gets a new update :D :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Irseq:
Post it then, I can flash it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
Hey deep!! I would have been testing it but its pretty late(1am) here in my country, so will be testing it tomorrow morning:D:D, sorry bro:)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Check your pm my friend :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Hey it's ok my friend :) no worries ;)

I just wanted to know if it's booting so I can continue my work.

Any ways Irseq is going to test now, let's hope it boots :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
I decided to give this a go, here is the download link: REMOVED

IF this kernel booted, I want more users to test it's performance and battery life :)

Edit:

So did this kernel boot? (I hope so :D )

Edit:

Didn't boot :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neverhood11:
Doesn`t boot...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Thanks my friend. I guess I will get back to previous version :-/
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
New Test Release, you should get the following:

1. Faster Boot Time, kernel is now compressed with LZO method.

2. Disabled kernel power up debugging which will also help in improving boot time.

3. Disabled another debugging feature which is not needed for end users.

4. I'm having a feeling I forgot what was supposed to be written here :( But for sure there is another modification which I totally forgot about !! it's almost 1AM now no wonder why I forgot about it :p

does not work
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
Can you please elaborate, what didn't work??? Are you saying that your phone didn't boot up after flashing test 3.???

---------- Post added at 11:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 AM ----------

hi deep!! sorry to say that after flashing test-3 , my phone didn't boot up. even the sony logo didn't appear. only black screen was flashing again and again:confused::(

---------- Post added at 11:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 AM ----------

hi!! you were right my friend. same happened to my phone. the phone didn't boot up.:(:confused:

---------- Post added at 11:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 AM ----------

flashing back to test-2
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] megablakbar:
Hey guys I aleays get om screen buttons when I flash this kernel any help?

BTW test 3 doesn't boot blank screen
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
it should be from LZO compression, I will recompile it with normal compression later today :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] stole38:
i shouldn't probably be posting this , but im having awesome battery life with stock kernel , i check out the screenshots below , BUT i've noticed that the phone doesnt hadle itself well when running heavy applications like GTA Vice City as they did on your kernel , but the standby time and doing basic stuff like facebook , taking pictures , listening to music is way better on stock , so here is my suggestion :

if you manage to get the same standby time and processing small applications like on stock and intergrate your kernel for the heavy stuff that would be perfect !

* btw the battery line spikes are not charging , sometimes for example when i see the phone at 25% and i turn it on after 1 hour it goes back to 30 % i dont know why it does that but i dont mind , the battery is simply awesome !

Reminder : THESE Snapshots are from using STOCK kernel .
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] musvi:
Simply outstanding battery performance! :thumbup:

Sent from my LT22i
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neverhood11:
I have the same battery performance with V6 test2 kernel...almost 2 days now and my phone still lives.. You guys have to set up your phone to increase the battery life..it`s not just about the kernel..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Could someone please try if this one boots: http://d-h.st/bLP

Edit:

Doesn't Boot :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neverhood11:
doesn`t boot...black screen
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] clijiac:
the same
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Another test version will be out in minutes :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Done compiling, now uploading, keep an eye on this post as I will be updating this one rather than posting a new one :)

Edit:

New Test Version: Sliding_XP

This should boot :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] clijiac:
yes it boots
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neverhood11:
This one works ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
You should get faster boot time,

It will hold same changes as Test 3 that didn't boot :)

Please report feedback about performance and battery life before I make it a new release :)

Edit:

Would be better if you give me Quadrant scores so I can have a clue about performance :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neverhood11:
Quadrant: 2902....nice man ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Great :D

What about boot time? I've read that many kernel devs are compiling the kernel with LZO compression method rather than using the default GZIP, so it can give faster boot time. did you notice any difference?! Because Compiling it in LZO format gave an extra 1MB in size to make it 10MB, which I think it's too big for a mobile phone kernel :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neverhood11:
I just rebooted to see the boot time, but I don`t know....maybe little faster...not very noticeable :) But anyway good job...we`ll see about the battery performance :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Thanks, I will keep it that way, no harm in having a slightly bigger kernel :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] clijiac:
smooth and fast as usual

boot time has no Significant change
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
hmm... then I must compress ramdisk in LZO method too to have that change of boot time.

Let's see what I can do about it :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
I decided to make this an official test release, let's hope for the best :)

Download link added to first post, along with change log :)

Happy Flashing.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BeDesireS:
Hey Deep, your latest kernel is great, but after flashing it I always get the message that I should upgrade my system firmware to 6.1.1.B.1.54 :confused:

But I am still on the latest firmware. I flashed the kernel two times and also flashed the complete system update once again, but still the same!

The system info in the phone says that I am still on the latest version.

That`s very strange. Do you mabye have a solution for me?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] chewdaniel:
remove/freeze updatecentre and newsoftwarechecker
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BeDesireS:
Thanks for the tip, but I never had this issue before.

So I am just wondering why it`s now and never happend before?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] chewdaniel:
were you on stock kernel before this?

cos this kernel is based on 6.1.1.B.1.10 which may be the issue...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BeDesireS:
That`s right, but I had V4 before I went back to the stock kernel and I never had update issues on V4.

So I am just wondering that I get the update message after flashing the latest kernel.

But with V4 it was fine, or is this normal with the older based kernel?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
I had the same issue EVEN if I had stock kernel installed, PC Companion used to give me that 6.1.B.0.559 update is available, but the thing is that update is for Orange users, while I'm in Syria so ya those stuff can sometimes happen.

By the way Sony certified a new update few days ago: 6.1.1.B.1.75 !!

Does this mean we will have to wait for that update to be out too so I can update kernel source -_-
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BeDesireS:
Okay! Than I have to freeze the damn thing! ;)

Thanks for you great work Deep! :good:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Your Welcome :D

I never found it useful, it's on the list of bloatwares that I remove whenever I flash a Sony Rom :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neverhood11:
OT: Is there any list of bloatware for Xperia P? Things we can freeze or uninstall safely? Thanx :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
I don't think so, but I remove the apps that I don't need, like:

Slide me Market

Chinese Keyboard (system app)

Japanese Keyboard (System App)

Some widgets

I don't remember the names of them, I choose them depending on their Icon, I don't memorize their names. if you send me a screenshot of the /system/app folder content I will be able to tell which ones that are safe to remove without facing bootloops issues, or system crash :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] [Fenix]:
HI deep...i want to tell you that finally i have resolved the signal problem deleting CPUsleepe and using ondemand and Sio with version 5 :D

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] stole38:
i can tell you what i removed and got the 2 days battery , and no problems ofcourse :)

Twitter , w/ extension ,talkback , timescape and everything with it , update center ( for update bug ) , Talk , Maps ,google+ , gmail , google search ,browser.

Tho you might probably needs Maps , but i disabled it because i saw it was always running in the background and i use maps , almost never.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Xperia_Fans:
Is using this kernel saving more battery???
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neverhood11:
Sure it is ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Xperia_Fans:
Owh thanks you!!!But any signal problem there?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neverhood11:
No signal problem...flash it, try it.. ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Xperia_Fans:
Thanks you brother I have already flash it..Trying it now cause I currently using ThP ICS kernel v5 but the battery drain so fast and I don't know what the hell is this.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
hi deep!! flashing the test 5 now and will post the feed here.:D:D

actually I want to share something about our dev!! don't you think our dev is pretty much dedicated to his work:). I think he really wants to make this kernel the best kernel for all time, ( i think its still the best kernel in its class:D:D). everytime i visit the thread there is new version, ohhh!! mannn, if this persist i will also become a developer one day after trying so much test versions:laugh::laugh::laugh:;);) ha ha ha lollllzzzzz. beware deep!!!:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:;););):silly::silly:

just kidding, thanks alot deep!! we are very lucky to have you as our developer cum friend:good::good::D

Guys if you want to thank deep!!! then please press the thanks button for this post;);). :):):) hmmmm, yes yes i am gonna be the most thanked person,, ohhh sorry that was a secret;);):laugh::laugh: just kidding guys. :):):laugh:

but don't forget to press thanks!!!:):):laugh::D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
You are right deep!!! thats a good thought from sony. i hope this update would solve our notification problem ( camera bug has already been fixed thanks to dewanshu93)

here is the link for everyone who ever wants to see this update http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/12/1...perias-6-1-1-b-1-75-and-xperia-ion-6-1-e-3-7/
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] huseinn:
Hi deep.., I just flashed test 5 today..., and you knoooow that I got ONLY 1 % battery drain at first hour.. with Wi-Fi on, its just awesome man, haha you rock !!

FYI, I got 2880 on Quadrant, I dont really made it as my parameter, but just surprised with the battery management, :D :D

THANKS ALOT my bro.., wait for your next "Gift" to us ehehehe :angel: :highfive:

oh and as said by Gaurav8180 I click many Thanks for u ahaha, and for Gauv too for remind me to say thanks to deep

:cool:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
Here is my quadrant score deep

Gov- ondemand with sio.

Score is improving really. In every version it is increasing and that's appreciable.:D:D

Excellent work deep.:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nwayen:
Thanks! With version 4 / 6.2 / 6.5 I also experience signal problems. So far I've only used Pegasusq as governor so maybe that setting it to ondemand will help as well. If not, I'll delete CPUsleep as well. Thanks! :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
No need to delete cpu sleeper app friend. Just uncheck the auto-startup option and reboot your phone. Now this service is terminated and it will not start again until you click that start cpu sleeper service option.

And for signal problem you can use ondemand with sio for performance, battery life and better signal strength.

Hope it helps you:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] [Fenix]:
you're right friend ... but I think have installed an app that you do not use his service is better uninstall :)

Anyway you can stop service (uncheck start on boot) or deleting the app
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
Absloutely my friend. Our xperia p already has many bloatwares, so no need to add anymore.;):D

since I did this I had no problems of any kind ... I noticed, however, that using a custom rom most of them are already eliminated :)

sorry for the OT :o I hope to be helpful :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
Hey ! Can you please tell me what do you do before benchmarking!?? As i have never reached to that 28xx.

My max is 2765 with v6, test-5

Gov- ondemand with sio.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Thanks for the hint, I will compile another test version tonight that disables CPUsleep since it's an option I have enabled in the kernel settings, let's hop it puts an end to the signal issues that some usersare facing :)

Waiting for your feedback my friend :D

Also check for the test version 6 that I will release later today that disables the CPUsleep which is causing some users to lose signal ;)

LOOOL Thank you my friend I really appreciate what you and others did for me, especially after I lost my device, feedbacks became more and more helpful, and the amount of testers increased ^__^

Thank you all :D

Let's hope they release it soon enough so we don't have to wait for long :-/

LOOL the fact that you (by YOU I mean you and other users) are satisfied with this kernel MEANS A LOT TO ME :D :)

Thank you :D

Your welcome :D :D

In the next test release you wont have to remove it, I will be removing it from the kernel for you guys :)

I will do a build without CPU Sleep let's see what impact it will give ^__^

I want to thank those who have helped me with their feedbacks, supported me by testing or donating to me I really appreciate it :)

​
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
To get that, put governor on Performance and SIO IO scheduler ;)

ALL USERS TRY THIS:

To get better graphics score for 2D graphics, go to settings -> Developer Options -> Force GPU 2D Rendering

I used to get 270 in benchmarking score for 2D Graphics, but after enabling it, I started getting above 970 :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] [Fenix]:
Lol new my best score

Thanks deep :)

My new record... Quadrant: 2993 :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Compiling now a new test version which removes the CPU Sleep that is causing users to lose signal, if the issue continues to happen then it's a governor issue which I cannot solve :-/

Next Release after 30 minutes max :)

Edit:

Done compiling, now time to create Boot Image, and upload :)

Edit 2:

Done, and now uploading :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Download Link: Sliding_XP

You will not notice any performance difference, the only thing that will be different is Signal issues should disappear now. BUT it will not make the phone to go into a deeper sleep state, which make the chances of draining more of the battery while the phone is sleep a bit higher. IT WILL NOT CAUSE THE BATTERY TO DRAIN A LOT WHEN THE PHONE IS IDLE, it will only keep it on the normal sleep state and not the deep sleep state.

For those that are not facing issues with signal, there is no need to flash this version :)

if it did succeed in fixing the signal issues, I will make two versions, one with the deep sleep state (for those who are not facing signal issues) and one without for those who are facing signal issues :)

Happy Flashing :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
Hi deep!! , have you been able to recall that last change, which you forgot while writing the changelog for test 5:D:D???
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Actually no I didn't :(

But I can simply find out which one it is by comparing my settings with default settings ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
Hi deep! Just noticed one thing while playing temple run, actually my temple runner is running very fast than normal. Lolzzz:D:D can this be related to kernal configurations that you have made in this test 5 . I know its very silly question to ask but my score is not reaching even 20,000 in temple run. Now Lolzzz,:D:D.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
I doubt that, no matter what it should at least run normally even if you run Temple Run on a server with 32 CPU Cores, it should run normal, no increase in speed should be found because the movement of the runner is programmed with a static value and not depending on CPU or GPU cores :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] okeph.:
smooth as usual , no issue so far , maybe this is the best kernel for me :thumbup:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
hi deep!! i think v6 is now complete???:) or do you have some more things to be added into it?? :D:D

edit- after 3 days our SLIDING KERNEL XP will become one month old but its progress has been such remarkable. :D :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
No I don't have anything else, now I will be checking how to edit ramdisk to be able to include some init.d scripts and enable by default the GPU 2D rendering and some other stuff. since to be honest there is no thing more to do with the kernel it self, but now it's a ramdisk game :D

Will do my best to make ramdisk also compressed in LZO compression method and that's when you will really face faster boot time along with the great performance :D

Let's hope for the best :D

Edit:

Before I make it an official release I want to know users feedbacks about Test 6 to see if it solves their issue or not, if it does then I will release 2 copies as a final release one with the modified CPU sleep state and one with the original CPU sleep state :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
hi deep!!! thanks for this but i just want to know, does it really important to have a faster boot or its somewhere related to better performance:D:D???
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Actually making ramdisk compressed in LZO only improves boot up time it doesn't effect performance at all.

Just want to see if I succeed in doing it, then why not having this as an extra feature ^___^
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
Absolutely my friend. Keep coming more and more features:D:D. Would love to see more and more features for our all time favourite kernel:D.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
So any feedback on signal issue in the latest test version?! I'm guessing that since no one posted an issue it means there is no issue :D

Let''s hope it got fixed :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nwayen:
Hiya Deep, so far I haven't faced any problems with the signal, so thanks a lot! However, in version 4 the WiFi connection would be disconnected after several minutes of the phone being idle, but now it tends to stay on the entire time whilst constantly checking the network. In Better Battery Stats, this is visible as a very high "cw1200_wlan" with loads of kernel wakelocks. This affects the process "Android OS" so that it uses way more battery. Maybe this is a stupid question, but could it be kernel related?

Besides that, this kernel rocks, thanks a bunch!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
Hey deep!! Just noticed one thing whenever i reboot my phone, my wifi turns on automatically at the start up of phone. Is this some bug or its designed like this??

Dont know whether it turns off automatically or not??

No device administrator is being used.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Narag:
I cannot use pegasusq as governor, even with version 6-6, with pegasusq I'm still having signal drop-outs. If I remember correctly, version 6-2 didn't have this problem for myself, but I'm not 100% sure it was this version.

:(

At this moment I'm runnning with ondemand/sio and no dropout since yesterday's evening.

Thanks for your efforts, Deep!
