[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] championswimmer:
the Sony dev website clearly states so :)

also nice to see you here.

welcome to xperia family.

your kernels as i have heard from my gs2 and gs3 friends were epic ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gokhanmoral:
right. I saw it after unlocking :) it was of course my mistake to read only the highlights about how to unlock.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] championswimmer:
no worries, happened to me when i unlocked first time too.

i have been a long time xperia user and getting the V soon.

as for locked bootloader problem, that as i can explain is, sony has an unlockable but prelocked bootloader.

carrier free phones can unlock and then fastboot is available and /boot partition is visible

carroer locked phones cannot be unlocked (untill 1-2 years later, like the xperia play on verizon just got bootloader unlock last month, 1 yr after release). when bootloader is locked, /boot version is invisible and fastboot cannot work.

to root an locked phone people can still use the bin4ry method. that roots your phone but you can still never get custom kernels because locked bootloader will only boot kernels signed by sony.

also there is a dual boot implementation by "letama" on xperia s forum. which does not use 1kernel+2ramdisks method but rather an assembly loader which can load one among 2 kernels (the boot partition is big enough to accomodate 3 kernels) the implementation is open source too so you might like to check it out. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gokhanmoral:
yes I saw it and it looks very good. I haven't decided yet on which method I will use.

it is good to have 20MB boot partition. it was really hard on s2/s3 to make a single kernel to support them all, especially on the latest versions of samsungJB&cm10 which choose different drivers for graphics adapter.

so, I may also choose to go for oldschool way this time.

still it will need some additional functionality on cwm recovery to install zips directly to the 2ndROM, backup and swap ROMs...

I am still a rookie on xperia world and need to read a lot, and open to suggestions from more experienced users who know what they are talking about :)

so, thanks.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
DooMLoRD is a very good dev who has worked on dual boots on xperia phones. He is slightly less active nowadays due to exams, but I am sure he is a good person to ask.

EDIT

@championshipswimer

Its not just carriers free phones that can be unlocked, I got mine on a contract from vodafone and unlocking was allowed. I think the restriction applies more to american carriers, especially at&t
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gokhanmoral:
hmm, we are talking about having two different ROMs, right?

because dual-boot might be interpreted ashaving two different kernels booting the ROM or choosing different recoveries such as CWM or TWRP.

the thing I meant in TODO was to have two different ROMs, not kernels.

having both Sony ICS (or JB in the future) and CM10 installed on your device, or even two different Sony ICS ROMs, one for business and one for personal.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] championswimmer:
the one thing significantly nice about letama method is you are free to use the cm10 kernel developed by cm10 devs, and hence you are not having to stuck with resolving issues that arise from difference in source of cm and stock (as u explained in case of gs3 above)

as of now if you look through sources stock and cm do not differ much due to sony source being close to msm refference tree of CAF. but the 4.2 bringup will probably make differences larger.

there is the difficulty you mention of par tition mounting on the 2nd recovery. (which imho can be resolved by renaming the block devices when recovery is started,)

and doomlord method was for 2 kernels on 1 rom not 1 kernel for 2 roms ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gokhanmoral:
yes, it is very good to have sources from sony which are close to msm reference tree of CAF.

and no, it is not something that I am aiming at. having two kernels to boot is good, but not my priority. I want to implement 1 kernel supporting two ROMs on a single phone at a time (as on s2 and s3) as I want to swap phones with my wife to work both on s3 and xperia-t. we will have our own roms on the phones and can swap whenever we like.

for renaming devices, you are right. it helps in some cases. but not that easy if some partitions are being held as ext4 images in the sdcard filesystem. it is even worse if sdcard fs is fat32 especially because it lacks large file allocation, which is fortunately not the case on xperia-t.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] baz@gmx.co.uk:
Very exciting stuff, bit curious how you could squeeze 2 Roms into this beauty though, stock seems to take more than half of /system. Or would one be on another storage area? (very sorry for off topic noob question)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gokhanmoral:
I am planning to use sdcard and create 3 images: system, data and cache.

it will consume a little more than 3GB because we do not have any other unused partition on xperia-t. you will be able to shrink the images (especially system image can be shrunk a lot if you install cm10)

cache may be shared though with a bind-mounting to another dir in original cache.

but I will not implement that before supporting TX and CM10 first.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
I had a 2.1 and 2.2 rom running on my x10. DooMLoRD and others were being that one. It was the same kernel as this was before we could unlock the bootloader on the x10
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gokhanmoral:
great.. if there is a ready solution for having two different roms at a time I will happily cherrypick anything available, and spend the time to find something else to be original.

for s2 and s3, it was original and that one was my "let's move to original section" implementation.

we still have some leftovers of it in the custom recovery.

any link?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
You can follow my x10 link in my signature to the 2.2 roms and there is stuff about dualbooting...however, I was never really involved in the actual develoment, just helping others make it work. However, this was the thread where i think it was first implemeted.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] y2grae:
sorry if it has been asked already, but can i install just the touch CWM?

kernel + pacman = no likey :(

but i was REALLY impressed with the touch CWM

edit: would it work if i unzipped, removed boot.img and rezipped and flashed?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] championswimmer:
it was kexec based. two kernels not 1
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] erhangulsum:
I have battery drain from google services, with stock rom screen was the first...

Any idea? I am sure you have the same?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] erhangulsum:
Do you use google+?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] :
no, disabled it. but it can be some other google app stuck. try rebooting or install betterbatterystats.

@gokhanmoral, @championshipswimmer

Hi, I modded you v0.2 kernel (For purely personal use) by changing the rle. I decompiled your kernel using kernel kitchen, swapped the rle file and recompiled using a special command championshipswimmer gave me to enable kernel kitchen make .elfs for the T.

The kernel works fine but for some reason it kills the wifi. The symptons are like the ones when you forget to put the wlan.ko in the rom. I tried to manually put them back but it still didnt work. Your kernel works fine but i really like my rle.

Do you have any ideas why it wont work? I noticed you had modules already in your kernel, is there somethng wrong with the compile I am doing...

Any help would be appreciated
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] championswimmer:
did you compile the kernel from source or just edited swapped the bootlogo?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
just edited it in your kernel kitchen. extracted ramdisk, changed rle, then used your .mykelf file to recompile it the way i did with my kernel.

I know that because this kernel was complied from source there are lots of other things going on, but i thought changing the rle wouldnt bother it...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Duvel999:
@ erhangulsum,

Facebook, Timescape & Mediascape .

Also Bluetooth, Wifi, GPS, 3G consume Your battery.

Use /enable it when Needed.;)

Sent from my LT30pi using Wifi
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] erhangulsum:
i use facebook but with every 4 hours sync, bluetooth and gps are everytime off.

i use wifi only when i am at home, i use 3g everytime.

i never use Timescape or mediascape.

Now i am going to flash cyanogenmod from here: http://get.cm/?device=mint&type=stable

I hope everything is fine with cm :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gokhanmoral:
I am using wlan module from Sony a.3.0.195. The modules are in ramfs and the modules folder in system partition is mounted tmpfs and linked to the modules on the ramfs. Can you try to load wlan module (insmod) manually and see what is wrong? And also check /system/lib/modules if the links are correctly set. I use this way not to break any compatibility by replacing files and also there is a tiny code added to kernel source to let wlan module to be loaded even if the module layout mismatch.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
When the wifi wouldnt work I manually moved wlan.ko to system/lib/modules and changed permissions. This has alwys worked for me in thepast with this problem, but not this time.

I will pm you a dropbox link to my version of your kernel. If you get any time you may feel inclined to see whats up with it. Or maybe even just use th elogo.rle from it....I think it looks better than the stock sony one anyway.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] babylonbwoy:
Cool to see siyah kernel for Xperia ! Unfortunately my T has a locked BL, is there a chance to see it for XS in the future ?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Another request.

Would it be possible to add a power off option as well as a reboot option.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] drigerott:
if you are talking about the recovery.. +1 for this request..

TODO:

cm10 support

Xperia TX support

dual-boot

more features...

I noticed that "Xperia TX support" on your todo list and it made me all smiles :):):)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] travis82:
yes tx support than we can get some aosp love finally.!!! :highfive:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] baza14:
Nice to meet you here master. I'm looking forward for version that will support CM10 but no progress was done since last release according to your github and homepage.:confused:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] jerdog:
This belongs in the Original Development section. Moving there
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Hmm, new mods...new rules, time to find out where we all stand again...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] jerdog:
Well first off I am not a 'new mod'... I am a Senior Mod. There are no new rules.

Secondly if GM wants this in Regular Android development I will move it back. Simple as that.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
I did not mean it that way.

Only that some things have already been sorted with the mods that have been on this forum for a while and with the new shake up of mods there is liable to be a few misunderstandings untill things have settled again and posts read through.

No hard feelings and I look forward to working well with you in these forums.

Hi, ¿has anyone tried to undervolt with this kernel?.

I've found that no matter what values I set for the different speeds, the phone never crashes (even with absurd values like 600mv for everything), which must mean that it is not applying them.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] :
maybe there are safe limits or something. I am getting satisfying results with my phone battery so didn't try to uv yet. also how did you uv, using STweaks or? i'll start playing with it next week when I have more free time.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Arcano:
STweaks, SetXperia, Voltaje Control, IncrediControl... all of them seem to work right, but...

All the other settings are applied fine though (cpu speeds, governor, scheduler).
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TheTrooper:
Great kernel, fast stable, THX :thumbup:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gokhanmoral:
last week I noticed a bug in undervolting and fixed it but I didn't have time to release 0.3. I have also added undervolting support to STweaks (originally AndreiLux's addition to STweaks interface)

so, undervolting has some problems. I am not sure you'll be able to crash the next version though.

there are still lots of sources to read and lots to port from my previous kernels, but very little free time for me lately.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Arcano:
Thank you for this information, I was going crazy. Funny thing is it works for some people, but not for me.

Anyway, take whatever time you need, this is not critical. I appreciate very much your work.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TheTrooper:
Today I noticed some problems with WIFI. When I tried to manualy activate WIFI through settings, WIFI toggle button was grayed out. The only way to dealt with it was reboot. I use location based WIFI.

I use stock unbranded rom 195.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] erhangulsum:
I tried to update to new firmware but i cant update via sony bridge for mac:

How can i remove the kernel? I dont want loose my apps and settings right now...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] crazymister:
You can't use Sony software if you have a unlocked bootloader.

If you want that (flashing software via Sony software that I mean) you'll have to relock your bootloader and first flash stock ftf for your phone.

You also can't use Sony software if you have altered or deleted one or more system files.

If you don't want to relock, or you are not unlocked at all, you can also flash only kernel from an ftf.

If you have lt30p I can create an ftf with only kernel. But you would have to wait a bit till I'm home.

If you are unlocked and don't want to relock and still keep root flash advanced stock kernel for the firmware you are on and you're device.

My xperia t has unlocked bootloader.

I didnt want to flash the latest firmware because i dont want to loose my apps and settings.

I guess i will loose everything if i flash the latest rom... Whats the easiest way without relock bootloader?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Duvel999:
You don't have to relock...

Just use Titanium Backup ..:cool:

Just a quick follow-up on my previous statement: it seems there may be some weird interactions between the new rom and this kernel. I've been experiencing the screen coming on and off sporadically while the phone was charging.

Edit: It wasn't this kernel's fault, but rather the charger's.

hello...................anyone here????????????????

so so quiet its unreal

we need cm10 support
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Geo2160:
Stop acting like these projects are your rights when you purchase a phone. You don't NEED cm10 support, you just want it. It's not like your phone can't function properly without undervolting or overclocking. If you NEED them that bad, start developing them by yourself, the projects are all open source. Developers put a lot of their free time and work into roms and especially kernels like this one so you should consider them a privilege, not a right. I'm a little disappointed too that the scene for the XT is slow, but we have something that not many android "flagships" have, and that is a perfectly functional CM10 ROM.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] cmajetic:
AW: [KERNEL][28NOV] SiyahKernel-XT Alpha 0.2

seems to be a dead project, all kernels seem to have stopped or are very rarely updated on this phone.

It's disappointing that there is almost no development going on on the t. ultra old aosp and miui build (only one each), some little modded stock roms and cm10. not much.

gokhans kernels are awesome and he still updates s2/s3 versions so maybe he sold his Xperia T or something like that.

¿Has he answered to you, or is it sarcasm?.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] baz@gmx.co.uk:
Unfortunately sarcasm I think, if so then I understand the frustration, but you must just be patient peetr, I am sure this kernel will get an update in due course.

If I am mistaken, please share the details, otherwise, control yourself!!! ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peetr_:
I am controlling myself. ;) Sarcasm... I really don't care for the kernel. I just would like one simple answer after two months of questions and unfinished promises. One minute. Just showing some fair play from elite recognised developer.

That's all, I must say that, when I have it on my mind.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] jerdog:
No... you really don't have to say it when you have it on your mind. If you don't care for the kernel - why pester and ask and such? "fair play"? Really?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peetr_:
Yes. Fair play. I am asking and saying my opinion publicly. What's weird on that?

And I am not insulting anyone.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] jerdog:
Well let's look at it this way. You're asking for an ETA on gokhan's return to this ALPHA.... and then make a sarcastic comment about him not answering you - WHEN HE HAS NO OBLIGATION TO DO SO. Then you say you don't really care for the kernel and don't want it just feel you're entitled to special treatment and should receive an answer.

Did I miss anything?

Nope. Got it. What you're doing is trolling, and that's in violation of XDA rules. But you instead feel you have the right to state your opinion publicly - but nope. You don't. So if you don't like the kernel DON'T USE IT, DON'T POST, AND MOVE ALONG. =)

I think that just about covers it, mmk?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Arcano:
Maybe he's unsubscribed from this thread, so he's not aware of your question peetr_.

I feel sad this kernel is stagnant, as it looked very promising, but still it's gokhan's right to stop whenever he wants. All I can do is thank him for the time I used it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peetr_:
Nope, you missed the whole point! I never asked for ETA! Not everyone is the same as you think! I trusted this man, so I donated him for his work he did. His work is unusable for me now. But I don't care about that. His kernel was very good and he deserved that.

The only thing I tried to get, was some reaction in the thread he created! Just something like "I don't have time now, but I will continue with the work later" or "I am sorry, but this project is discontinued" or whatever. That's all.

So, you are really missing the point!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] recoba23:
He simply made a question, and 9 days later there is no answer, and nobody is at home. So answered himself... where is the crime? someone was injured? There are no major problems to solve?

Overprotection is another special treatment, I think.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] pulser_g2:
Then maybe pull the sources, and patch them up to work with Jellybean?

The issue is seeking a "reaction" in the thread is perceived to be quite rude...

There is a saying here that the one who tries the same thing over and over again, expecting different results after the first time, is really the only fool... Just maybe something to consider - if he's not around or seeing the post, repeatedly making the point won't somehow change this...

Apologies if this comes across as trolling or flaming, but I hope this can clear things up.

You should never demand from someone any obligation to even answer your questions in this site. Very recently a recognised contributor on this forum lost their daughter, a very sad event and we as a community were devastated.

The last thing on that persons mind was even logging on to xda, let alone answering questions or working on projects. To you, your phone may be the most important thing to you right now, but for some other people real life problems take priority and we should not make their problems worse by appearing to be ungrateful.
