Im the first, im confused deep, why is there two wifi modules?

Edit: i guess ill wait for the auto install for modules, so i dont mess everything up,hihi:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Eason85:
Installed modules with terminal, got no confirmation. Rebooted, still no wifi. Checked root explorer, lib directory disappeared...

edit: oooh, should be system/lib ; I thought you meant root as in the top level

edit2: ugh no I just keep getting "not found" errors
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] chewdaniel:
follow this... http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35954752&postcount=833

just replace the m1.ko with the respective files names from the download
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Eason85:
Thanks, but I'm having trouble getting adb to recognize my device. Sony PC companion recognizes it fine, usb debugging is on but it keeps saying no device found
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] chewdaniel:
ok then do the following...

1. put those 2 files into internal storage

2. open terminal emulator

Inside terminal emulator:-

su

cd /mnt/sdcard

mv cw1200_core.ko /system/lib/modules

mv cw1200_wlan.ko /system/lib/modules

cd /system/lib/modules

chmod 644 cw1200_*.ko

echo "insmod /system/lib/modules/cw1200_core.ko" >> /system/etc/hw_config.sh

echo "insmod /system/lib/modules/cw1200_wlan.ko" >> /system/etc/hw_config.sh

reboot
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kudaj316:
thanks chew for the tip, il try this, but new kernel v6.1 has a bug, no deep sleep
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Eason85:
Did this (very painstakingly) in the phone terminal, rebooted- no change. I guess I wait for next update :/

also, above poster is right - no deep sleep
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Xperia_Fans:
Wow it's a good things Deep has do a CM9 kernel :D excited to see it but I'm not using CM9
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Bro there is no such bug, this kernel is the same as version 6, I only added two lines of code so the compiler sees the new IO schedulers that I forgot to add for version 6.

I'm also confused, you mentioned it here, and on the original thread, so which rom are you using now :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Eason85:
Eason85 is wrong, there is deep sleep :D

I tried it again, I get "failed: cross-device link 255|app_38@android", when I try to edit permissions or install it tells me it's a read-only file system, but I'm root already...

I re-su'd and then tried again, I got "syntax error: 'newline' unexpected app_28@android: /system/lib/modules" then again and it's a read-only file system
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
I need someone to test for me, I will be making changes to the ramdisk to make it auto install those modules. who can help me with testing please?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Eason85:
I'd be happy to test, though I might not have time for the next 4-6 hours.

I'm having issues with adbshell but I'm not sure if it's cm 9.1 or the sd-card mounter's problem. It seems that whether MTP or MSD I can only access the command line while the auto-run dialogue of plugging the phone in is up. Once that is closed I lose my adb link and it immediately says device not found. Strange.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kudaj316:
im using the latest firmware .75 im also confused, il try to flash the kernel again...maybe it was just a flux or something
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
As for current issues I'm having a strong feeling they are related to drivers, though I wont make it as the main reason for having those issues. Yet I will see what to be done but so far I've done many things and yet those issues remain. let's hope Sony release the new source code so we can finally find out what is causing the issue :)

also this kernel is built for CM roms you WILL face issues while using it with stock rom :)

@Eason85 As for your issue did you have such thing while using CM kernel?!

To be honest this kernel is the same as the one I made for stock rom, the only difference is the ramdisk.

I will be compiling it from FXP source but I found they are the same (my kernel and their kernel)

but maybe FXP made some changes to work with their rom.

I will be doing another build from their source code :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Eason85:
I can't know for sure because I never tried to use adb shell on FXP's kernel. :cyclops:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] chewdaniel:
just ran a test version with wifi included in ramdisk... flawless :D

now to leave my phone overnight and hope the battery is enough for the alarm :D

@DeepUnknown: tks again my friend for a wonderful kernel :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Your welcome, I'm happy wifi issue got fixed :D

Now let's work on making this kernel more battery friendly :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] megablakbar:
Hey deep can you make your kernel CWM flashable it makes things easier
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] whalesplaho:

AW: [Kernel][Sony Xperia P][January - 16] Sliding_XP Kernel v7.2 [CM]

Hey guys. Maybe a silly question, but is it normal that when you flash another kernel then fxp, your notification led starts to light up the whole time during notification and doesn't blink anymore?

The notification settings doesn't change anything, just the colour!? :confused:

Re: [Kernel][Sony Xperia P][January - 16] Sliding_XP Kernel v7.2 [CM]

Hey deep long time didn't see you, how are your exams, how is your kernel dev, hope to hear from you soon:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Thanks my friend :D Everything went well thankfully, still waiting for my exam results, they wont be out until next week :)

As for the kernel, I just compiled a new test version hopping wifi issue is fixed now, here is download link if anyone can test it please :)

Sliding_XP-Test

NOTE: I might be a bit slow in releasing new updates because of one simple reason: Internet connection is slower than a dial up connection, it took me 20 minutes to upload that 7MB kernel file :crying: :eek: though I have a 2Mbit ADSL connection line which should take about 2 minutes to upload !!

So ya I probably should take a nap every time I'm uploading :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] whalesplaho:
gotta to try dis... thanks for tha test version!!!

i just notice battery drains lil more on 3G.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BeDesireS:
Hey Deep. Sorry that I must disappoint you, but I flashed the test kernel this morning and the wifi stopped working completely!

I dont even see a network in the list, it only shows wifi is started, but nothing happens. :confused:

Also there where no govenors and schedulers included.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
I'm trying different sources that's why you found nothing in the kernel, I have now made another version let's hope it's solved over here :D

Download Link: Sliding_XP-CM Test
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BeDesireS:
Great! I will flash it and revert back, when I am at home again.

unfortunately I can`t flash kernels via fastboot at work. :(;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] whalesplaho:
No bootlogo brov..... will drop feedback, testing!!!

also Governors & I/O aint much, no wheatley.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BeDesireS:
As Deep said before, he is testing new sources for the kernel to fix wifi problem first.

He will include this stuff in the final release for sure, but first he is looking at the important things.

btw. @Deep

it would be nice if you also could have a look at the LED matter.

It`s really bugging that the Led just lights up and doens`t blink anymore.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BeDesireS:
Hey Deep,

new testversion has still wifi problem during screen off.

All other works fine.

Edit: This kernel is overclocked to 1300 Mhz!? :eek:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
That's because it's built on this source code: [kernel] [P] Neuro kernel CM9 v1.

What's strange is users said on that kernel no wifi issues happened. I suppose I now know what is the issue.

I appreciate it if you could send me the latest FXP kernel if you don't mind :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BeDesireS:
That sounds nice! Here is the FXP 208 kernel, that work`s really well..

but not as good as your`s! :cool:

Good luck for fixing the issues!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Thanks my friend, I will be posting a test version within an hour, if you can help me testing :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BeDesireS:
Sure, but then I have to charge my phone first. ;)

Waiting for the new test.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Here is the download link my friend :)

Sliding_XP
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BeDesireS:
I think you`ve got it mate! :good:

After 10 minutes testing wifi works fine. On screen and off screen.

And the kernel feels really smooth, even compared to the stock CM kernel.

The only matter that left is the not blinking led. ;)

I will test the kernel and revert to you with more details tomorrow.

Gotta go to bed now.

Thanks for your great work once again!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] whalesplaho:
Downloading tha latest version now.... everything works on tha former version except bootlogo, hope it fixed now!

i dont really use Wi-Fi but when i turn it ON, it turned ON.

BeDesireS is right, tha Led Light just stays ON without blinking, please fix dat.... Havent really check tha battery but will try & charge my phone FULL den switch ON tha Data Overnight... its just 10.45PM here!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Great news !! I hope it's now fixed once and for all :D

Your welcome my friend, sweet dreams :)

Thanks for confirming that :)

I want to ask you about the led issue, does it happen when you use FXP's kernel?! or is it just present when using my kernel?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] whalesplaho:
Been using yur Kernel from tha very start after flashing FXP Kernel & tha CM9 ROM, i flash yur Kernel immediately.... Maybe i should try FXP Kernel den tryna see whether it will blink!

But am FXP207, will tha 208 Kernel work with it?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
If you are not on a hurry and the LED issue doesn't really bother you, you could keep the current kernel running and wait for more feedbacks tomorrow regarding the LED thing, I will be asking users who have tried other custom kernel's so I can determine what should be done for the LED issue :)

Thanks for your support my friend :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] whalesplaho:
Okies den, i ll wait brov... but can i flash tha last test version cos of tha bootlogo?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
Sure go ahead my friend :)

I suppose the bootlogo thing is fixed because I switched back to Sony's source code ;) :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] whalesplaho:
yeap, bootlogo fix but its FXP own.... i prefer Sony!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BeDesireS:
Hey Deep,

kernel is working fine and I didn`t face the wifi issue anymore! :good:

The led bug was with every custom kernel I tried, only FXP is working fine here.

But I faced an older issue that I had with your stock kernel some time ago.

I plugged my phone on the charger over night and when I unplugged it this morning, I had no signal! Only reboot solved the problem.

But I remembered, that is was related to the governor on the stock kernel,

so I changed from wheatley to smartassV2, since it gave me the best compromise between battery life and performance.

I will look over day, if the issue happens again with smartassV2 and revert to you.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] OmarBizreh:
First things first my friend, I'm now focusing on fixing wifi issue, and LED issue.

After you guys confirm they are fixed I will fix the logo thing :)

hmm... So signal is being lost, I will be waiting for you to confirm if it's governor related or not.

Regarding the LED issue, now that I have all the info I need I will be finding a solution for it (hopefully). Though I might be a bit late with the new test release because I have to look at the source code again and check FXP's source code to find out what is different and start working on a fix :)

Thanks for your feedbacks @BeDesireS & @Whalesplaho :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] whalesplaho:
Good job brov...:good: dnt rush brov, we want tha best & we believe yhu can do it!!!!

i will adapt to tha bootlogo brov, Wi-fi working now but Led light aint, still light down instead of glowing!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BeDesireS:
Take your time mate! And when the new test release is up, I am glad to test it again!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] whalesplaho:
which governor & i/o yhu using buddy?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BeDesireS:
Normally wheatley/row but at the moment smartassV2 / row
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] whalesplaho:
me too Wheatley/Zen but now on SmartassV2/SIO... i will try ROW I/O!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BeDesireS:
Hey Deep,

I had no issues over the day, but the performance with smartassV2 is not so smooth compared to wheatly or pegasusx.

Battery life was fine, too.

I never had signal drop or wifi loss, but I guess this just happens when the phone is connected to the charger.

I will leave the phone with smartass tonight and see how it goes in the morning, after I unplugged it.

Re: [Kernel][Sony Xperia P][January - 16] Sliding_XP Kernel v7.2 [CM]

Guys I'm sry that I can't test the kernel because I'm in a holiday and my pc is not with me, the great news is that I'll be coming back tomorrow btw deep how are your exam results??
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] whalesplaho:
i switch to 3G & turned on Data, used SmartassV2+Row, battery drops from 100% to 40% within 1hr 30mins....

I have 3G and wifi on the whole day and my battery last for 12h with around 50%

AW: [Kernel][Sony Xperia P][January - 16] Sliding_XP Kernel v7.2 [CM]

When this happens to me from time to time I reboot the device and most of time this solves the problem.

Android System is draining my battery sometimes.

But I don't know what process it is exactly.

I tried to locate it many times, but without success.

And it's not related to a special rom or kernel.

Gesendet von meinem Xperia P via Tapatalk 2.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] whalesplaho:
my battery was at 50%, power off & flash FXP Kernel, Battery increase to 60%....... i dont understand anymore!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BeDesireS:
The battery issue happens sometimes, but also on stock rom.

I think that has something to do with the fast charger of the SXP and the fact,

that the phone get`s charged to 100% and then the battery must drop to 90%

till the phone charges again.

But during this time the charger is still connected and I think that then something is messed up in android system and battery settings.

But this is a sony fault and not related to kernel or custom rom.

That`s at least my opinion. ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] whalesplaho:
okies but seems yur battery doesnt drain like mine... am on FXP Kernel now, charging tha phone, what should i do when battery is full brov?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BeDesireS:
Leav it at the charger for an additional time to be sure the battery is really full charged. Then unplug and wipe battery states.

Let it drain to max. 10% without any reboot or charging during this time and then charge full again.

This gives the best result for me.

I also face huge battery drain sometimes, but not always.

It`s really tricky and because it`s always android system that drains the battery,

I can`t locate the app/process exactly.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] whalesplaho:
thanks brov.. back to sliding kernel, will do dis now & drop feedback later!!!

Godbless.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BeDesireS:
No problem mate!

I am on fxp kernel today, because I switched my rom to stock CM 9.1 yesterday evening

and I want to compare it with deeps kernel.

But I will definitely revert to sliding, when deep has his new test release finished.

Yesterday I read a bit about governors in this really interesting thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26884865&postcount=2

And they say that smartassV2/noop is the best combination for good performance and batterylife.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] whalesplaho:
Thanks brov... will try it out, am on SmartassV2/Zen!!!

i love SmartassV2 governor, it doesnt cause lags!
