Hey, sorry for being late, here is another test version unfortunately it only holds a fix for wifi (hopefully) I'm gonna fix recovery at midnight because internet connection is almost dead here and I was barely able to access Xda build server to build the recovery. usually at midnight connection comes back to life :victory:

Here is the download link: Sliding_XP

Gonna start working on patch updating this kernel right now :)

Other than wifi are there any issues (in the kernel only, I'm aware of recovery issues :) )
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] cezarL:
It looks like NFC isn't working anymore.. the device no longer reacts to Xperia tags or to other chips.

But I'm not sure it's kernel-related, other folks reported problems with it after the JB update (it was working just fine for me while I used the stock kernel).

On the other hand, I didn't have any WiFi problems, myself: my MAC address never changed, and connectivity to both protected and open APs was fine.

Also, using pegasusq governor no longer causes signal drops, as it did on ICS.

Great mate.... thumbsup!!!

just a suggestion......

Deep please can yhu add vibrate feature when its time to enter recovery?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] alee1730:
try un-installing smart connect and see if it will get fixed! saw this suggestion from the advanced stock kernel!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] _nafets_:
No more alternating mac address with the test version and wlan is working

but still this funny message in dmesg

<3>[ 320.316253] qtaguid: iface_stat: stat_update() lo not found
<3>[ 320.316284] qtaguid: iface_stat: stat_update() lo not found
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
I just finished updating the kernel source code from 3.0.08 -> 3.0.76

I'm gonna take a 10 minutes break then compile a test version to make sure it's booting without issues (because the first time I updated it kernel went into bootloop X__X )

This test version wont have extra governors or IO schedulers, I just want someone to confirm it's not going into bootloop and I will continue to add the extra stuff :)

As for this message:

this is caused by an extra module for keeping track of number of packets / bytes being sent / received, I haven't given it attention when I was making the last test release, my main focus was on fixing the MAC address issue. I will put the new test release then start working on finding a fix for that issue until you guys confirm the kernel is booting :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] whalesplaho:
waiting for tha test version brov... keep rocking!!! :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Finally :p

Anyways in this test version as you know I updated source code to latest version + switched back to old recovery. so please if the kernel booted and everything went as planned, try making a nandroid backup + generating (or was it checking) md5sum, those where the reported issues about the recovery :)

Hi Deep,

The WiFi works now and no issues with it. I haven't tested the nandroid backup. Kernel seems smooth although many governors are missing other than the default ones.

Awesome kernel as usual :)

1. Kernel is booting -> checked

2. wifi is working with correct mac address -> checked

3. nandroid backup in cwm -> failed

Generating md5 sum...

md5sum was generated and verified.

What I found is that, thru this app

Split Backup Is more efficient and Time Savier and incript all backup in .tar version which seems more stable and fast to restore...

Inspite the Incrimental Mothod follow the old Blob folder time and takes nearly 3 times to backup than the Split Mode....

If it is what I think then the recovery issue should be fixed in the next test release.

Thus the test release will be ready after couple of hours since I'm going out to do few things :)

I also appreciate it if this file: cache -> recovery -> Last_Log is sent to me.

Version 8.2 Change Log

Updated linux kernel source code to 3.0.77

Compiled using Linaro 4.8.1

Added Google Snappy Drivers

Enabled zCache and zRam

Added missing flags for a complete -O2 optimization.

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

Download

Sliding_XP v8.2

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

Side Note

You may have heard of XDA - DevCon, well I got an invitation to that event but my only issue is I'm financially tied. This kernel got 760+ downloads for v8.01.1 (and 80$ donations which I'm really grateful for :)), I really appreciate it if at least each one of you guys donate a 1$ so I can afford paying for the plane ticket :).

Thanks for all who tested v8.2 or offered testing the kernel before it's release :)

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Auto root script was written by Doomlord, as long as kernel does allow /system to be remounted as RW after it's bootup then you are good to go.

For example I used to root my Xperia P using Doomlord root program that was created for Sony Ericsson Xperia ARC S when ICS 4.0.3 was released to ARC S. the process is the same the only thing needed is the approval from the kernel to remount system as read/write :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
I guess it's from SetCPU. because when I overclock (I can't believe I'm overclocking, you are a bad influence guys I used to be anti-overclock person :P ) the program shows me I'm still on 1GHz while the CPU is actually at 1.2GHz.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Hey I had this issue with my phone many times I had to wipe out everything from my phone and install the FTF file again. I don't know what is causing this, but regardless of which kernel I'm using this issue still happens. sometimes you will have to wipe and install multiple times to get this working :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
This new version is causing lots of issues :(

Let me update my phone and start doing some tests and see what should be done.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
That's strange when I get such issues I get it on any kernel and not this kernel. What I did to solve it was wiping out everything and reinstalling the system from scratch. but can you test if it works with another kernel? I mean flash another kernel and check if the device is recognized again. as we speak my phone is connected to pc and PC Companion gave me a notification for update. so everything is fine here. even though I will re-check the stability of this kernel with the latest update from Sony :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ilyuha1108:
I face this problem on every ICS Stock Firmware no matter what kernel is installed. The solution is to use DoomLord's ICS Mass Storage Mounter. Moreover, it is easier to organize files and folders while in Mass Storage ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CaioA2:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Great, will work on it :D

By the way, I have NOT faced any issue of the mentioned above, I've been testing it for an hour, and so far nothing :(

I would appreciate it if you guys can give me a better idea on what really you were doing when the issue happened :)

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] prom85:
for all those people having problems setting I/O Schedular and Governor with ROM Toolbox and don't want another program to be installed on their device just for that little thing, the solution is following:

set some delay in "Main Preferences"/"Boot Delay"... 80s is working for me, I tried 30s afterwards and that was working as well... You just have to wait a while after boot to get the settings set... A message like "ROM Toolbox got root rights" or similar (don't know the exact english phrase) will indicate, that the settings were changed... you afterwards can see in ROM Toolbox, SetCPU and co. that the Schedular and Governer were changed...

Probably it's a problem with some script or so, that came in the way of each other...

See, if you connect to pc, then uncheck USB debugging, phone is recognized, re-Check USB debugging and youre good to go. Maybe that helps

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gaurav8180:
i saw the threads of pc connection issues and frantically checked it. fortunately mine phone was recognized on the first connection with pc even after flashing the newest fw .54 . i think kernel might not be the problem.:D

i think this problem can also be solved by enabling the option INSTALL PC COMPANION ( if disabled). this should be done even if you have pc companion installed on your pc. after the pop up appears for installation then you can cancel it in case the device has been recognized by the pc till that time.this option can be found at

settings->xperia->connectivity->enable install pc companion.

this should be enabled only at the first time connection with pc or if you are having problems with pc connections.

hope this helps. :) :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
I tried that several times, all in vain. the good thing is now it's working and I have updated to the latest version and so far kernel is working great :D smooth and has no issues (I'm talking about version 5 that I sent to you and others, I hope you didn't get any issue :) )

Also this didn't work for me, only a full wipe worked :(

I'm also having this issue in networking IN ALL KERNELS, running on any ICS rom.

After 5 to 10 minutes the phone stops responding to wifi, I mean I have to turn off and wifi then turn it back on for the phone to work, many users are having this, but a know a person having Xperia P with stock kernel and latest ICS and he doesn't have this issue at all. sometimes once I connect my phone to the wifi network the router just reboots ! I've also had this issue on my previous phone Xperia ARC S :(

I've changed wifi channels and updated the router firmware and yet no solution, it only does this on my home network all other networks work without issues, anyone has a solution?!

All online solutions I tried didn't help :@

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:

Hey, will it be compiled with linaro or is your current kernel with linaro? :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] reiteravi:
linksys almost certainly can do wrt

besides the obvious benefits of wrt it would reset some hidden setting

that might cause it

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hlcxcx:
Same here.

[MENTION=4313825]DeepUnknown[/MENTION]

In 8.1 is missing Hotplugx and Wheatley governor and ROW scheduler. They will be implemented in the next release?

Performance is great with no lags or freezes...

keep up the good work.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] _nafets_:
missing some scheduler :)

only noop, deadline, cfq, sio and vr are available.

Nevertheless everything is very smooth.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
aaah my mistake, will update the kernel in couple of hours for the missing governors & IO schedulers :)

edit: [MENTION=575526]gvijayaratnam[/MENTION] it brings better memory management, better IO handling & lighter kernel, the version Sony releases is 3.0.08 (but it's shown as 3.0.8) the patches I apply to the kernel to be updated to 3.0.76 are backports from the stable release of the official Linux kernel (which just reached 3.9) :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gvijayaratnam:
Thanks for the reply.

Lb? How to flash? Etc
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Important rules:

Custom kernels can only be flashed on unlocked bootloaders

Flashing a custom kernel you need fastboot drivers + fastboot.exe on your computer to be able to execute: fastboot flash boot kernel_name.elf (or .img)

I hope this gives you the answer you wanted :)

Someone is using Windows 8 :mad: :p

I'm kidding, I like it's speed, but didn't like the experience I got. for example boot right into start menu -_-

+ it's made for touch screens in mind and not classic laptops and desktops (speaking of desktop pc, it always freezes and crashes on my desktop PC)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hlcxcx:
Windows 8 is a crap
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Alroid:
1st) The overall performance, speed, battery usage and ... (name it) is perfect... (of sliding_XP) thanks bro

2nd) about win8, You can easily solve the start menu issue, use softwares like start is back, start8 and many others.

I'm agree with you that it has very good compatibility with touch screens but it's good enough with others.

the biggest problem is software compatibility...==>Yes, win7 was better and Android is the Best. ;)

Um... so no-one else has problems with NFC? It won't work for me with either 8.0, 8.1 or 8.1.1 :(

I wasn't sure before if it had anything to do with the kernel, but I've tested two others (stock and another one), and NFC is fine with those... but I don't want to use another kernel, I've been using Deep's since the very early versions :)

Other than that, everything looks good, speedy and smooth, as always.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] whalesplaho:
which governor/io yhu using?? am experience lags here..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] cezarL:
pegasusq / row - the responsiveness of the device is top-notch as far as I can tell, much better than say, ondemand / deadline on the stock kernel.

but I don't play any games on me phone.. so I couldn't say how that gov / sched combination would work out for them.

no benchmark scores, either, I don't see their point.. fluidity of the UI in "normal" operation is all that matters to me, I guess :)

LE - have you wiped cache and dalvik after flashing the latest version of the kernel? if yes, give it a few hours to settle down, before judging the performance.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Xperia_Fans:
I no have such issue I'm using peqasuq/sio as write on the OP page.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Yup I will add it for 8.2, Sorry I haven't added it for this one :-/

Can you please do the following in android terminal (in SU mode):

1. dmesg clear

2. Attempt to turn on NFC (from Settings)

3. dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt

and send me dmesg.txt to have a look at it :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Alroid:
I'm using sakuractie/row. it has a good balance between performance and battery life. Not even 1% battery drain during night.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
in this case checkout the amount of free ram you have right now and tell me about it, I'm guessing it has to do with so little amount of free RAM, which can be solved by enabling SWAP support in the next version :)

As a side not, I'm impressed to see 250 downloads of my kernel in less than a day :D

This means a lot to me knowing people are loving what I do especially after what I'm going through in Syria's situation.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] cezarL:
Deep, many thanks for offering to look into it.

I was going to do just that, but the dmesg output did not show anything that looked even remotely useful, to me. So I flashed another kernel, hoping that going through the same steps would reveal differences in the output.. only to find out that NFC no longer worked, with any kernel :)

I solved it (somewhat) by wiping everything and refreshing the JB ftf, and yesterday NFC worked even with Sliding kernel... this morning, though, it's dead again.

My phone must be going the way of the dodo :)

Anyways... bottom line is: there's nothing wrong with your kernel, apologies if I made it look that way :)

Oh, yeah: battery drain overnight, with stamina mode active: 0% in 5h30min :D Awesome stuff!
