Hi Deep,

just want to report back that I have no issues with v9b4 on latest DarkRom. I'm using interactive/cfq.

perfect work :)

I mentioned it in another thread:

From my point of view the number of govenors is just too much. Couldn't you make a special version with 3 carefully selected and tuned govenors (performance/ battery/ balanced)?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] fatspirit:
Don't forget that it's still beta.

Too many choices? Just don't use what you don't know (:

edit.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Since it's a beta release I'm focusing on improving performance and battery life, let's hope I got it right this time :)

Download Link: Sliding_XP-v9.0

I will add missing governors and IO scheduler (only CFQ is missing) once it reaches stable version.

As for the list of governors and IO Schedulers it's last update was for 8.3, I know its missing but kernel is still in beta :-/

Waiting for your feedbacks hopping that battery drain gets minimal and performance gets maximized :)

Happy Testing :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Xperia_Fans:
Bro I'm happy and we all are happy to see you back :D Trying your new kernel now ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
13 downloads and no feedback :eek:

so should expect positive feedback? :angel:

Edit:

I just got this screenshot from my friend, so I suppose wifi issue is fixed and he told me using Pegasusq + SIO gives a very smooth system, yet it's up to each one of you to find his own combination which suits your needs ;)

And I'm slowly updating it's version now kernel version is 3.0.13 :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] _nafets_:
wb Deep,

just flashed the last version (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43266158&postcount=3160) and there are a few things i allready noticed

CWM

- wipe battery stats is missing

- can not reboot device out of CWM

More feedback will follow
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] entrysky:
Hi [MENTION=4313825]DeepUnknown[/MENTION],

I'm sure. It no battery drain when I used wifi. And smooth.

Bugs When I set Governor: Lulzactiveq, random reboot?

When you updated kernels v3.0.20?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ironclad74:
Bro flashed ur kernel....pretty decent battery backup....will give further feedbacks after few hours of testing...... Also cwm is somewhat buggy not allowing me to reboot...:(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] smallpro_20:
I think i'm going to install this version, regardless it's still beta, hoping that the extreme lag when using pegasusq + sio at 8.3 is fixed. It used to be fine though, just had this issue recently

جزاك الله خير

Bro [MENTION=4313825]DeepUnknown[/MENTION] when I flash the latest one wipe cache and dalvik-cache can't reboot to system and the CWM just stuck at Rebooting... then need to press power button and volume up to reboot system...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Current recovery doesn't include wipe battery states, that's how it comes from source.

So what I'm going to do is go back to FXP's recovery I think it's better since the team is maintaining it and fixing bugs found.

Can someone who use FXP's rom send me their kernel please :)

As for the kernel update on my free time I'm updating source code, so far as you know I've reached 3.0.13, might be updating it tonight to 3.0.20.

Let's hope for the best :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Xperia_Fans:
Thanks for a such great work bro :D I'm looking forward for your kernel :)

Is this works for locked bl?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] PrakashJoseph:
Problem Shutting down!!!!!

I just installed the latest beta kernel, and Seems smooth and fast....

But I think there is some problem which is preventing it from being shut down!!! When shutting down the screen hangs and phone does not shut down.

I think this issue is also the reason we can't reboot from cwm to system.

Each time I am having to reset my phone using Power and Vol + buttons.....

Hope you will fix it fast, I really love this kernel....:good::good::good:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Thank you my friend, you were the most supportive person around here :)

I really appreciate what you did for me :)

Underclock is safe, but I don't want to mess anymore with CPU frequencies. As for doom recovery I tried many times including it but it also fails to mount USB when in CWM. there must something missing but I can't find out what it is.

As for now I wont be getting any device. I will be back to my old Nokia E50. I still have to save few bucks to get a new device :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] reiteravi:
i'm sure u can raise a few bucks if u have a donation link
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
I hope for the best my friend. losing a device is not the end of the world, everything happens for a reason ;)

In God I trust :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dimon2242:
@DeepUnknown, you is using additional ARM_MAX_OPP for max freq?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Yes why?! That's what I found on various kernel sources for this device and other devices.

EDIT:

It's also used for the 1GHz frequency. AS the cpu must reach MAX FREQ once the load reaches it's high levels.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dimon2242:
Can sent me you latest dbx500-cpufreq.c?

Very interesting!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] reiteravi:
what is that yellow screen when entering recovery ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
I have undo the changes of the file, you should've told me before I did that :-/

That is because I have enabled an option in kernel config file, it improves graphics performance but does that when loading the recovery. it doesn't do that while using the phone :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Toon10:
Can you try to send it back to the factory, better than nothing :thumbup:

Send from my xperia p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LilBlinx:
The NovaThor boards are very complicated. Cant modify anything on them. From now on only Snapdragon or Exynos or Tegra devices. I am selling the LT22 asap
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
I did send it to a phone shop and they told me it needs a new SoC. and for sure I aint gonna put a new one, for one simple reason. while working on my graduation project if I do a simple mistake on the board I'm working on the circuity will not work, the good thing is if I damage an IC it coasts about 50 cents to get a replacement, but if the phone shop damages the motherboard of the phone I have no proof they were the reason which means I'm the one who is going to lose and getting a new board = getting a new phone, so It's not worth the trouble.

you are right, I guess Sony got it wrong this time. cuz I was going through their forum and found out that some users even had this issue after a week of using the device. but what bothers me the most is I posted on their forum about my issue and they reply to me: plug it to wall charger for 3 - 4 hours, then use PC Companion or SUS to fix the issue.

FOR CRYING OUT LOUD I have mentioned that neither PC nor wall charger are making the phone start, or even charge !!

I should've replied to them with a meme photo, the one that says: are you ****ing kidding me :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
One of the users just told me that version 5 drains more battery. I know why this is caused, but to fix it I will have to disable Graphics utilization which leads to making graphics performance the same as in version 4. If the battery drain is really annoying, I will be putting up another version that has graphics utilization disabled for those who want more battery life.

Just let me know in a comment or a pm :) (though I would prefer a comment ;) )
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kudaj316:
i warned you before deep,that messing with clockspeeds is a disaster, my brothers galaxy s3 even burned,coz of overclocking,so i guess this counts for most phones,coz really the company built the devices with their own modifications, its just up to developers if they modify it with risk or no risk included,...im sorry of what happened to your phone, il just stick to version 4...coz i know you didnt give your 100% in making version 5 coz of your loss,hmmm hope ull buy another xperia p..to continue this project,i guess il be in a sad state, till you comeback. i really liked your kernel deep,just sad itll end here, OVERCLOCKING IS LIKE A VIRUS..SPREADS FAST..KILLS FAST,now lesson learned for all of us,
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CaioA2:
Ahuahuahuahuahuahuuahu , is like those solutions "click on F5 , that solves" or "give a reboot,it solves" :p

Wait a minute , you had not told me that after you have placed it on the PC he had turned on the white / red LED and started after this?

("connected it to my PC and the led blank red once then turned back on."):silly::silly::silly::silly:

Yes, working with NovaThor something is difficult, but I do not think you guys should give up (DeepUnknown and DavidMKD) , the Xperia P in overall still a good device :)

I think overclock its something that should be done by someone who really is not afraid to test the limits of your device .. I for example, have overclocked the CPU and GPU of my laptop (Yes, I'm really crazy), of my old smart (SGMini), of my clock (oh wait .. KKKKKKKK) this is something has to be done with control.

By the way , DeepUnknown, how about this http://igloocommunity.org/pipermail/kernel/2012-October/000502.html (I think this came too late :(:( )
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] stole38:
i have the 4a overlock version but i only used once to overclock , and never again ... is this affecting me too , tho the phone is fine now ... should i update to 5v immediately?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CaioA2:
Some moderator can delete this post? I am not able to do that ..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nicolassp:
Deep a version providing more battery life would be nice. Furthermore the battery charging problem still exists. (The 80% thing).. Have you seen the driver you told me about button sensitivity? I am sorry for your phone deep.. :( As an xperia p user you faced the same problem i guess with the less sensitive settings button as most/all users..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Irseq:
Well... Overclocking should be done only if you can adjust the voltage. I have my PC overclocked too, but I have a decent power supply. Well, my router's CPU is overclocked too :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] asdsasd:
Hi. I am using your kernels from some time.

I was quite satisfied with the first 3 version of your kernels, but 3-4 days ago I flashed version 4 and I got extreme battery drain.

I charged up till 100% and 2 hours later without using the phone it was 91%.

Before the night it was 43%, when I woke up I had dead battery (0%). Actually I slept over because of no battery, no alarm :laugh:

I have just flashed version 5, hopefully it will be alright this time.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] noobovski:
@DeepUnknown: thanks for the good work. Sorry about your phone.

Will you release code so that someone else might continue the work?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Version 9.0 Beta 6 Change Log

Added BFQ IO Scheduler (more info here)

Enabled Dynamic FSync

It serves as a flush to the write buffer where doing IO writes to storage. it stores a buffer with data periodically writes it to the storage device rather than directly writing data. All it does is disable synchronous file write during screen-on and enables it back when screen is off.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Download

Sliding_XP v9.0 Beta 6 (Wipe cache and dalvike cache, it's a MUST)

Give the phone about 3 minutes to settle down after it's done booting or it will be painfully slow, after it settles down enjoy the speed :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Side Note

Temp fix for reboot issue: Use Power button & Volume up combination until phone vibrates 3 times then boot it up again (just in-case)

For a smooth UI: Wheatley governor & BFQ IO Scheduler gave great results

, yet it's up to you to choose your own :)

Screenshot attached is the result of Beta 5, you are supposed to get the same + better performance in Beta 6

Reboot issue is not yet fixed, I barely have time for troubleshooting to detect the cause, I will fix it soon don't worry about it. In the mean time I'm adding fixes for other bugs & new features for better performance and battery life.

If you are getting a notification of a new update available, in the root directory of your phone there is a file called: default.prop, edit version number inside the file and the notification will go away :)

Excellent [MENTION=4313825]DeepUnknown[/MENTION],

V9 BETA 6, good work. But still can not restart the phone and CWM Recovery. But when I plug the charger to restart work fine.

Will test it and give you results. Hope it will work fine.

Hi Deep! ;) I'd have a small request for you...If you have time, could you be so kind as to upload an .elf file for version 8.3 of your kernel? Obviously, only if it's not a problem for you to do so...Thanks anyway in advance! ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Zip file of 8.3 includes kernel.elf :)

Hi DeepUnknown!

I have bug!

If i power off device from menu(long press power button), my device is stuck on Sony logo, and solve it only wipe data and system!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
No worries guys I'm aware of those issues and I mentioned it in the update log, thus I didn't have the time two days ago to fix those issues.

I did few changes let's hope this fixes the issue. If It doesn't then I will do another attempt.

Download Link: Sliding_XP

I wasn't able to get a confirmation from my friend whether this one is booting or not or the issues are fixed, you guys can only confirm that :)

Happy Testing :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] AceDuff93:
Hi Deep, so I've been using your kernel (version 8.3) with the latest stock rom since this morning and, as always, everything is smooth and fast! ;) I have just one problem: the loudspeaker plays quite bad. If I play music through my headphones I have no problem at all, quality is good as always, but if I play it through the speaker it sounds like I'm playing really low quality files, like 64kbps mp3 or similar...I know some custom rom have had problem with the audio because of ClearAudio or things like that, but I'm using Sony stock rom, so I don't understand where the problem lies! :confused:

P.S.: I'm new to Sony's Jelly Bean roms, so I'd have a question: is it possible to change the lockscreen wallpaper with one chosen from my personal gallery? Cause I can't find the option!

Thanks in advance to everyone! ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pandemic:
[MENTION=5010596]AceDuff93[/MENTION]

About your wallpaper change question?

Go to settings, the go to screen settings and scroll down below and there it stands and you can choose your own wallpaper;)

But your question is kinda offtopic and have nothing todo with this kernel, ask next time in General chat in Q/A topic;)

Bootloop after restart :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Are you sure?

I've got two PM's confirming that all beta issues are now solved.

Have you done the usual's !? (Wiping cache and dalvik cache?)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hefko:
Of course. First time boots fine, second time it boots fine... third time bootloop :( . Now, I flashed 8.3.1, wiped cache, dalwik cache and phone still not boot. Only boot animation repeatly.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
hmmm.... Since even on 8.3 it doesn't then there is something wrong on the rom side, what rom are you using?

or it might be because of Governor or IO Scheduler. have you changed any of them? if yes, do you set them as "Set on Boot"?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hefko:
Stock rom. And yes, I used bfq and set it boot. Maybe, this makes bootloop on 8.3.1 :) Will try flash test kernel again.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
8.3 doesn't have BFQ, that's why you are getting bootloop on 8.3 :-/

Please do tell me if your device booted again after flashing v9 :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hefko:
Fastboot, flashed latest version, wiped cache + dalwik cache and still bootloop. :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
The thing is getting stuck on bootanimation is not something good, usually the only fix for it is wiping data :-/

Which app did you use for changing governor?

In the meantime I'm gonna upload you another version but this one will have init.d scripts support disabled, and we will see the results :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hefko:
SetCPU. Yes, I know it. Already flashing ftf again (I wanted clean install). So, now I have clean mobile, so if you want test next version :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
That's strange, as far as I know usually SetCPU changes values after boot is done.

So I guess you don't want the one without init.d support?

Cuz I'm uploading it right now.

Anyways please also test v9 (today's release) I want to make sure that everything is ok so I can announce it as a stable release :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hefko:
Ok, I will test it again. You can send me that version without initd via PM. If it stuck at bootanimation I will test it.

Should I set on boot bfq for test?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
First reboot few times without any change, then set BFQ on boot the do few reboots, let's hope for the best :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hefko:
Ok, maybe It was only random bug or I really do not know. Everything is now working fine. Thanks for your time to help me :)
