Hi,

really sorry data doesn't work for you. Would you agree to test a beta build if I send it to you?

I hope we receive some more LWW reports, previous tests seemed to be ok.

Thanks for your help,

Ka.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lsander:
yea sure no problem :) when send? if next day I will be at school till 16. but maybe will take my netbook to school will think

Hey are still there? I think I knw where is teh problem but need to test it. Will write to you later
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Gustavo RD78:
I say hybrid is ICS / JB

and on CWM and TWRP still prefer the good old CWM :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lsander:
no there is no need to have hybrid. It has a lot of bugs and hard to make it fully working. Let's just leave it to anonymous.

twrp is a lot worse than cwm. I'm just wondering about touch cwm :) you know easy use and great functionality.

so now I have your kernel and will see tomorrow if data works for me :) keep going bro

Touch cwm for me is not that great. Because if someone flashed a wrong rom ang brick his touchscreen like some people here will not enjoy yiur kernel. But a cwm with file manager would be great.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lsander:
so I haven't data because I am changing my network provider. So they told to activate m7y sim today but yesterday they just before midnight they locked my card for data transfer call and other. Today they activated my new sim card and all is ok. :) I forget about that sorry :P

kernel is awesome but have problem in cwm. it don't backup my sd ext or do but there are no logs for it? Any solution?

Hi kast... Thanks for the awesome kernel

Just wanted to ask wether u will base it on 3.0 or 3.4 kernel... N what are the advantages of doing this? I googled it I couldn't find any significant advantages...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kast:
Very good question! ;)

First of all I already started playing with a 3.4 base. nobodyAtall was much faster than me (he's got a great set of skills) to have a 3.4 kernel booting on our phones for JB.

While nobodyAtall and irii-soft started off a CAF kernel, I took the option to base my 3.4 work on the official and stock Xperia Z 3.4 kernel.

I took this approach simply because thought that some components needed by our phones would already be there in a Sony kernel instead of having to port everything to a CAF kernel. We do know though that our phones are actually not supported on 3.x or 3.4 by Sony.

I already imported quite a few patches that irii-soft applied to his kernel. I'm currently away with very little Internet connection and progress is really slow. Then there is that it is difficult to enjoy holidays in the sun and code at the same time with only a prepaid mobile connection ;)

To go back to your original question... Differences between 2.6.x, 3.x and 3.4 are probably minimal in respect to what could be the direct benefit of having our devices running stock ICS on such kernels (if even remotely possible).

I reckon that the biggest benefit would be (1) the technical challenge for the person porting it ( ;) ) and (2) sure also the fact that new fixes and patches will only happen on such codebases and it'll be easier to implement them.

Currently new "features" or fixes happen only on the 3.x range. Some developers are already backporting to 2.6.32.x

Running a 3.x base would allow for direct implementation without the need for some code fumbling.

I hope I managed somehow to answer your question. This is at least my noobish point of view.

Take care,

Ka.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] TTaba74:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] samajid:
So as a user , m not gonna benefit directly ( as in performance ) from this upgrade?

Hi there,

1.7 needs to be slimmer and ready for the swimsuit test for this summer (or to pack a JB ramdisk too) ;)

So, need to get 1.7 on a diet and remove the unneeded stuff. Added a poll for you to choose the less used CPU Governors you would like to have REMOVED from the kernel. After this one will be IO Scheduler's turn.

Thanks,

Ka.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kast:
Performance depends a lot on many, many things. A 3.x kernel is surely more "optmised" than a 2.6 (plus the added features) otherwise there would be no need to bump a version number ;)

Then there's the rom you use. Some are heavier than others... Then, as you say, but I can't tell as never booted yet one myself, there might also be the excitement of running a more recent kernel base on our phones. I don't doubt that if experienced developers in here decided to go 3.x there must be a benefit on top of the technical challenge. On the other hand, we both know that if we wanted "true performance" we should all switch back to Gingerbread ;)

Thanks for your comment, really appreciated, although I'm still a total "kernel developer noob" and trying to learn from what I get to see around.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] smoke_slim:
I think you need to remove all the govs, except intellidemand, smartass, interatstiv x, virtuous, savagedzen) IMHO) and is it very good idea)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lsander:
dont write here, you have poll request there. Why is it made in this way??

You delete all the others than mentioned by you but somebody for exmple most like wheatley, use performance for gaming, also lagfree is really ok as for gaming as for daily using. That's why is made poll requst.

And kast I think schedulers could be left like they are or leave 3 for example battery, performance, battery-performance.

And would be nice to 1.7 make final and start work on 3.4 kernel for stock ics ( ya as we have now working 3,4 as 3.0.8 so why not ).

Thanks.

Btw didnt have much time to try build myself 3.0.8 kernel because of exams ( which I actually passed on good level for me ) so will try on days maybe with new 3.4 :)

thanks for answers
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kast:
Hi there!

You'll have to follow a couple steps more if you want to try this kernel.

First of all, as per what you wrote, you're running the GB stock rom. This kernel works with stock or stock based ICS rome. It's not made to run a GB rom. You'll then first need to decide if you want to switch to ICS instead of GB.

This implies you'll have to backup everything, etc, etc.

In case you actually don't want to switch to GB, I'll advise you to check in this link for a GB compatible custom kernel.

You'll definitely appreciate a boost in performances by using a custom kernel instead of the stock one but you need to carefully check which one you have to use depending on the rom you run.

Take care,

Ka.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] reptakos:
yes, this is what I did (first su , then the kamenu) but the system threw a message "no such file"

but as I mention on my edited post, after a reboot everything were ok..

I think this small problem caused because the su (ChainsDD) stopped to work (not that I did not have any troubles with it before..) so I installed the Superuser from ClockworkMod.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zerorated24:
thanks for the reply man..but I really hope you'll take a look at the possibility of going back some other time. :D

Gingerbread is really fast and smooth and with your kernel features added, it will be lightning fast..

BTW, I have tested v1.6 with stock ics .587 and all I can say is that it the performance is good, but when I play asphalt 7, i experience some lags and I have to overclock to 1.2ghz to have it smooth, which drains a lot of juice. I dont have any init.d scripts and not even other tweaks except for ka menu(cpu, i/o scheduler)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kast:
Hi there!

You mean to share the Internet connection via USB to your computer? Or use Wifi to share it?

I don't use Windows, don't use USB either to share the connection. 'cause here where I am at the moment I don't have a DSL connection I use the Wifi hotspot feature on a prepaid sim and it's working well. Actually realised that where I am the local 3G network is twice faster than back home ;)

Regarding lupus kernel + hikari no tenshi's extended build cm10, I have no lags whtsoever. But you have to ser max CPU freq to 1.2ghz. The battery drain is a bit higher than usual but I can live with it especially because I play games a lot.

3.0.8 was for ics and 3.4 for jb, so will 3.4 work on stock ics??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zerorated24:
if you're on JB, it's more practical to overclock in order to have a smooth gaming performance... With 1ghz as the max freq, games are a bit laggy, and lags are really noticeable at least for me. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rahimali:
both 3.0.8 and 3.4 kernels are intended for use with JB, neither is ICS compatible. to the best of my knowledge, it is theoretically possible to make either/both ICS compatible by changing the included ramdisk to one that works with ICS but a dev would know best about that
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Jeanbassil:
3.0.8 is compatible with ics but not ours ( not ours because of sony) as the 2012 phones running ics by sony are running on 3.0.8, what I know is that 3.4 is for jb 100%, hope the devs will be able to port 3.4 to ours, I'll also try to work with the xperia z kernel but it's quite hard and needs a bit of time
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kast:
Hi there!

The Xperia Z kernel is the route I chose to work on 3.4

It's made by Sony for another Xperia device than ours, yes, one which is a couple generations more modern than ours, yes, but it's still Sony.

Despite they removed support for our boards and devices, some drivers we need are still implemented in that Kernel and there is slightly less to port from the 2.6.32.x kernel to that one (this is my noob level assumption).

In case you wanna try that route, I'd be pleased if you want to give a "hand". The repo is on my Github account.

I'm currently with very little time available to keep playing with it. i'll probably start back with time next week.

My noobish fear is that JB will be anyway to hungry on resources for our littles phones. Either we'll have to overclock for some decent performance and the battery will drain fast or we'll have a tough time performing anything which is slightly CPU demanding.

I really hope to be wrong.

Ka.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kast:
Sometimes yes, sometimes not... I mean that just by swapping ramdisks any OS could boot.

I'm learning that it really depends on some kernel bits that I still have to put my hands on. Otherwise the test I made by applying a GB ramdisk to my kernel would have booted a GB rom on my phone (yeah, testing a little in that direction too ;) ).

Learning is fun but takes time ;)

But I hope to find what actually makes in the kernel the compatibility with GB and ICS... JB is probably another story on the same line, considering some 2.6.32.x based on stock Sony sources are able to boot a JB rom.

Take care,

Ka.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Jeanbassil:
I'll try and see what I can do, it's really hard and battery life may not be decent, however it is worth trying, I will update you with the latest news about that and I will be happy to try to help ( it may be hard to let it run on stock ics, about oc it is essential for a smooth jb experience)

However kast you should know that your kernel is one of the best and everything is awesome with it, waiting for a jb edition of it and for the final v1.7, (how can I test the beta v1.7?)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lsander:
hey kast just saying.

if you think that jb could be too slow please just try AOSP from pcfighter. I was playing with this games with performance as on gb. But nobody take care of aosp. everyone want slower cm or pac or pa or miui.

That is why staying with stock based miui modded my way

Thanks a lot,

Hope will see 3.4 kernel for stock asap
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lsander:
probably not. I could be wrong so will try make 3.0.8. Anyway Im just learning this stuff.

I think 3.0.8 for stock ics is enough. It is almost same as 3.4. Not so big canges just better support for some android versions

as you see

3.0.8 ics, jb

3.4 jb

So 3.4 will be working better with jb and 3.0.8 will be better for ics. Again sorry for my mistake
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kast:
What's the battery drain with 3.4 on JB compared to ICS?

Ka.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kast:
Something tells me that next 1.7 Beta and Final will boot a GB rom too ;)

Let this kernel, 1.7, may be the final on 2.6.32.x and to be compatible with both our "old" stock rom bases, GB and ICS.

Kernel 2.0 might well be on another base and targeted at ICS and JB.

Take care,

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lsander:
yea I will give a try for 3.0.8

Anyway thanks to kast for good explanation how to build it. But it wont be any featured version. Just want to check how it works with stock as I didnt seen anybody building 3.0.8 kernel for stock so we cant even test. But for sure will be later using kast 3.0 kernel as Im just learning.

Dont make version running jb and ics.

Please kast make first 3.0.8 kernel only for stock ics with all features which are presented in this version.

After that we can move to jb but using 3.4 kernel as it works good.

All I wanted to say.

Btw passed all exams now have a little time before starting vacation job and could give a try for that whole stuff
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rahimali:
hi kast, i tried out the 3.4 nAa kernel yesterday for the first time with the latest pacman nightly (jb 4.2.2) from here maintained by DDS. overall very nice experience. battery drain was a significant factor though. while kappa 1.7b1 used to drain hardly 1-2% overnight (wifi and sync on with revolution 7.5), i got an almost 20% drain with the 3.4 kernel /4.2.2 ROM combination. but otherwise, no issues at all. performance wise, wasn't really as smooth as stock ics based revolution and radio wouldn't work (I don't use anyways) but really no FCs, no reboots etc.

ooo by the way forgot to ask another thing. i read here and on some other forums too that smartassH3 is modified smatassV2 and VIRTUOUS is modified smartassV2 too. this means that they are both the same? i read one more thing about VIRTUOUS that it uses two profiled, one for sleep and one for wakeup. so thing i am asking is that is smartassH3 same as VIRTUOUS and if not what are benefits from one and another and in witch situations bits one another.
