USB Serial modules for Kappa 1.6

I was able to compile usbserial modules for kappa 1.6 kernel :laugh:

I have attached the .ko files in next post

"insmod usbserial.ko" first for any module

then

"insmod pl2303.ko" ...etc to match your module.

I tested with pl2303 and it worked well ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nagaya1:
I made a init.d script to autoload modules :laugh:

mount -o rw,remount /system

mkdir /system/modules

extract modules.tar to /system/modules/

extract usbser.tar to /system/etc/init.d/

chmod 755 /system/etc/init.d/usbser

You say it bro is a kernel problem. So you need install another kernel or flash stock .587 with flashtool.after that try again flashing again this kernel with a fresh install of your favorite rom. If you cant install ics kernel try jb kernel and jb rom.

Anyone tested USB webcamera ? Is there a option to enable UVC/USB CAMERA CLASS ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kast:
Hi there,

first of all, thanks!

Should I include this directly in the next version?

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

got a question for you... Version 1.7 is taking ages for two reasons... I have lately very little free time because of some personal stuff and work assignments... I also had started the port of the whole "block" code from 3.4 to Kappa (2.6). This is quite challenging, to say the least ;)

The more you port, the more you need to port. Maybe I should drop this idea, stash it for later and release an "intermediary" version with the changes I had already added between 1.6 and current wip.

What do you guys think? Just in case somebody is still interested...

Thanks,

Ka.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] marc3l0:
Sorry, I dont understand, you're saying you are porting the 3.4 kernel things to Kappa 1.7? If is this continue you port to make the Kappa 1.7 the best kernel. ;)

Otherwise I really really want to see 3.0.8 kernel on my Live Walkman with ICS, if you can make it, we all would be very grateful to you :D

I remember [MENTION=4337574]TheGreatSega[/MENTION] bro did it bootable on ICS, but wifi don't worked, and i don't see more progress of him.

So if you're have time and motivation, please make the 3.0.8 kernel for ICS.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MESA:
Hello. I either dont understand what is that block code. But if you think that its better to do it you should do it when you can to make this kernel unique. :) Its your decision Kast this kernel is awesome
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rahimali:
Well, there seems to be no real rush for a release of v1.7 as v1.6 is performing VERY satisfactorily, so up to you really. I personally would suggest continue with what you're doing (time permitting of course), let's see what we end up with ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] 00DSoul00:
Greetings! I am using kappa Kernel 1.6 with stock ROM (for now) I noticed that the battery consumption is high as I can have better battery performance? where and how I can configure the type of governor who wish? Governor which would you recommend? (Do not use the device for gaming so do not look for a strong governor) I hope you can help me thanks!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pa33vel:
You can use a Nofrills cpu control, or Set Cpu app, for setting governor and

sheduler.

Standard setting of kernel, is good for daily use - Intelidemand ( 249-1018 ) - sio! ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rahimali:
I'm using this kernel and I find that battery life is phenomenal!!! I'm using SmartassH3 and sio combo. you can use nofrills as suggested above (i'm using same as well) but you can also use command line parameters in terminal to select which governor and io scheduler to use. details in first post.

P.S. I don't do much gaming either...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nagaya1:
hi Ka,

Thanks a lot for reply

Can you enable usbserial modules (usbserial,pl2303,cp210x,ch341,ti_usb_3410_5052 options) in menuconfig ? :fingers-crossed:

so there will be no need to use these :)

these modules are built for 1.6,so have to build again for 1.7 if we use them as modules.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kast:
At the moment I added CONFIG_USB_SERIAL and CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_CONSOLE to the kernel, compiled in, no external module.

You prefer to have it loadable via KaMenu instead of being builtin?

Ka.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] robbayani:
agree.. SmartAssH3 & SIO is my favorite..

but i want Kast added Lulzactive for next version..

---------- Post added at 11:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 AM ----------

heyy kast.. where is the upsda.........te?? :D

if they are important i suggest U to built in..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rahimali:
what's the net effect of each method? my reason for asking is this, if they will be enabled/active always with one of the two methods then consider that it's a very niche thing that not everyone will need or utilize (yes i know what they are and i'm using them also but with my laptop and don't really foresee a need to use them with my phone) but if they are always on, then they might hit performance and/or battery life.

on the other hand, if they are present but not always on, they could easily be enabled by anyone who potentially wanted to use them.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nagaya1:
Thanks ka for reply,

Can you enable following to be builtin :)

CONFIG_USB_SERIAL

CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_CH341

CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_CP210X

CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_PL2303

CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_TI

So, Kappa kernel will support all most all available USB serial modules :highfive:

Users will be able to use many usb devices which uses USB Serial interfaces :)

I can test these on coconut :) :cowboy:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] le grande magnetto:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kast:
Yes, this kernel has Mass Storage support but you have to enable it via KaMenu. Choose the OTG option.

Ka.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kast:
what rom, cpu governor, io scheduler do you use?

Ka.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MESA:
Using xNXT™ with SmartassV2 and sio. Waiting for the superlite version of the rom. Maybe it will be different :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kast:
Poor battery life can be blamed on many things... First of all the user ;)

Kidding...

Some kernels provide a decent battery life. As I said already too many times, my goal is to try to achieve something that doesn't eat the whole battery in one bite.

Roms too have their fair share in battery usage. Some ROMs pack too many stuff and those things eat battery like crazy.

Then comes us, maybe we spend two hours on Youtube, we play a game for other two hours, keeping 3G always on and then the battery lasts only half a day. These phones don't pack a battery like the S4 has. I'd be already happy enough if with the usage I have of my BB it lasts the same.

R: [Kernel][ICS] Kappa Kernel 1.3a - Stock and Boost - 12/03/2013

Today I got two reboots: one after uninstalling an app, and the other while tapping on another app in the drawer.

The screen brightness become less bright until black, then it reboots.

It's like pulling out the battery.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kast:
Hi,

thanks for the good news ;)

Personally never had any reboots, till now. Doesn't mean it may not happen. I hope this was only a bad luck case. Very hard to debug when you don't experience the issue.

On the other hand I must confirm two issues: the offline charging which just reboots endlessly the phone, the CWM backup that can't backup android_secure.

I'm trying to find the reason for both. Since at that stage of the boot or process there is no real way to have a log of what is happening, this is really pure guess/trial-and-error.

I might try a newer build of CWM, for the android_secure issue... Although by looking around, this issue is generally linked to not enough space. But not in this case.

For the reboot when meant to be charging... I'm trying to point the boot to a bundled chargemon, independent from the rom.

I'll keep you posted as soon as I have news. I don't like bugs ;)

Take care,

Ka.

Is it possible to add NOOP?

Ok,maybe this is my opinion,but maybe you could just consider it.

One more doubt, do you will kept the CWM v6 in your kernell?, I'm to and CWM user, does the the CWM v6 is best of CWM v5! Because, I still use the v5 because the AROMA half screen trouble (bug) in v6, and for me the v5 have all the things that I need in a recovery, I guess..

Twrp has problem with flashing some zips, and is not as good as cwm. Kast is cwm guy and most people use this kernwl are also cwm guys. I had twrp and has only problems with this.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
he can build kernel dual or create optional versions : cwm version -twrp version-dual version

how did you disabled 720 recording?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] lsander:
I mean that I used kernel with disabled this function and ram was the same as on this kernel.

the best option is to make 2 kernels: twrp and cwm to delete issues of hubrid recovery.

but what is wrong with cwm that so much guys want twrp? touch is uncomfortable, I could use both if twrp could have same nadroid backup as cwm to don't use two system backups.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
kast,

any chance for answering me?
