Fckn right dude. In benchmark performance improved, really really smooth more than butter. But not yet test in gaming cause my dead trigger 2 apk is corrupt. But, better use exp11 in life uses
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ryukaiser:
new kernel v11, can you make included CWM 6.0.4.4 thanks :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] uthpala89:
Tried new kernel v11.

Everything seems OK. But more launcher redraws than v10

I keep mobile data turned on all the time, so the max battery i get is one day.

Without data, 1.5-2 days.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dwaipayanray95:
after the reports of v11 im seriously looking forward for cm 11 version :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] etch04:
guys....new version has been released.you should find this version much smoother and better than previous version.i have include the old and reliable cwm5 touch for now.if i have time i'll include latest cwm 6 touch in next version.

as usual leave feedback.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BLACKFeLiX:
Thanks! I think you can replace ksm with uksm .

It runs much faster.;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akkufix:
More better than UKSM is PKSM... ;)

Hoping "Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT)" on all low ram android devices :p

http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-029090.htm
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akkufix:
This "technic" ain't work proper yet. I have a Intel-board in my pc at workingplace and it makes problems taking the right amount of memory for grafics sometimes. I fixed this value for ram again. It is much more stable.

Btw. We, as mali users can also live with only 6MB (it seems no need to take 16MB) shared ram. I tried this in the past, while compiling kernel. This was found in "original" configuration-file from ARM. Sony "modded" file to 16MB. Couldn't find any differences by running games.

Another thing - ksm may slow down phone. I measured app. -200 in Antutu. This "sample pages" may only make sense, if you are running virtual machines. But who is running a second system, 10 VMs, or lots of databases on his phone?

Also checked configurations for powersaving functions.

Normally we don't need to use an extra governor, because Sony's ux500 supports hotplug from itself, out of the box, implement in kernel-defconfig by default.

Also, check for "sched_mc_power_savings". With the right configuration (i recommend to set 1), we can set both cores in a indepentend state. Good explaination is here. http://www.android-hilfe.de/2989002-post17.html

So, many things on our phone are running double or configured twice, only waste a lot of and space and produce more load.

And another thing...lots of issues were copied from each other. :p

Double configured things in .rc-files - lot of stuff unneeded. Nobody looked for paths or configuration-files placed in correct locations.

Example, phone is looking for /sbin/hotplug - but there isn't any "hotplug" around, but this path is also copied in /proc while booting up.

I played around the last days with a ramdisk, which is nearly "pure" and stripped from tweaks and modds. Therefore kernel's zImage has many usefull power-saving functions and options (added some sources from Linux...) for use. Also put in mali-control for bus-clocking, but didn't found a way to use it. It seems to be that our chipset isn't support this option for decrease bus-speed?

Somebody knows, that our phone can switch off ram from power without loosing information in it? ;)

Kernel is not the fastest (app.9700), but stable and i could use battery for longest time till now. Full power when using the phone and nearly "dead" when leaving it.

I will check it...and sure, i also will post it, if i satisfied with it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ShoaibAhmed:
Can you make a kernel which can play 10 bit 720p videos smoothly ? I know 10 bit isn't supported any chipset other than snapdragon 805 Ultra but i heard that by overclocking and tweaking kernel , you can play 10 bit videos smoothly . or is there any other way to play it smoothly ?

EDIT: [MENTION=2266044]etch04[/MENTION]
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akkufix:
Think this isn't easy, because we have restriced functions by ux500, which has "hand on bus-clocking". Maybe there is any posibility, but i haven't found it yet.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ShoaibAhmed:
Here i explain you actual problem ,

When i use MX player(without custom codec) Video runs perfectly but audio lags and stops after 40-50 sec and after then it stops in 5 sec every time

When i use MX player with custom coded Video doesn't even start sometimes and no audio everytime

When i use dice player audio runs fine but video plays slowly (too slow )

I don't what is actuall problem RAM or processing power or both :crying:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] etch04:
If it's a 10bit video, that's why you an't play it. Most devices (except top tier, ie Galaxy S4) do not have enough CPU power to play 10bit, as it can't be hardware accelerated.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ShoaibAhmed:
yeah i know , i already tested on HTC Amaze and Xperia S same problem , but on XDA someone is claiming that he can play them smoothly by OCing on SGS3 ,SGS3 mini and SGS2. I think it's time to sell Xperia sola
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akkufix:
Well, how should our device handle this without running in danger to explode? ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ShoaibAhmed:
480p running smoothly no problem , but it is hard to find 480p anime. 720p is universal.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akkufix:
I have a SGS3 mini in family - i don't believe it can play uncompressed 720p with 25 pics./sec. lag-free.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] etch04:
Yeah... I don't think dual core will be enough.I think at least quadcore is needed to play 10bit flawlessly.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dwaipayanray95:
Dude trust me! I am seriously looking forward to a kernel that would give me as much ram as possible and more than that killing battery life....

because im tired of charging my sola every now and then...I thought NovaThor chipsets were supposed to be battery savers....Sony messed it up I guess

please [MENTION=3792300]akkufix[/MENTION] make one as fast as possible especially with ultra battery saving :P :D

ill definitely test it out :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akkufix:
Ok, i will give you my "rc-version" of the kernel. 3.0.101 and CWM 6.0.4.4 - thanks to percy_g2 and munjeni.

But, i couldn't test all till now, so please take some care while using it.

Its compressed with and support zippy. Build-in LMK, with locking user- and systemprocesses to keep in memory. Hotplug function enabled for single cpu-core drive. So, you can set parameters (also supported by with governors) for using core 1, while core 2 sleeps. That's come with /sys/devices/system/sched_mc_power_savings (set to 1 by default). http://www.android-hilfe.de/2989002-post17.html

Frandom-support (thx to garynych) ...and some more gimmicks i put in image to "play" with cpu-things also by hand.

Zcache (sure, zippy compressed...) is also build-in to spare access of memory. Sd-cards are controlled via system to shut-down power if they not in use, like a ram-power-save function, which is switching off ram power without loosing data, thanks to our hardware.

All in all... i tried to use as many savings as i know and read about. If someone knows about, how we can set bus frequency, please tell me. Mali-control is compiled in zImage too, but i don't know how to use it, because i didn't found any bus-support in ux500, yet.

I didn't put all modules in kernel, because system would not be able to de-activate them, if they are not used anymore. This only cost ram, but as a modul, system can (set as default) kick them out of memory.

For heavy gamers - use Performance-control and set LMK to "aggressive" and un-check "lock apps/processes" to get much memory as possible to have ram for 3D grafics or use another kernel, as we have some fast "power-kernels" around here.

This one wasn't made for "most power", but more for daily. This not means, that it is slow... ;)

I measured aroud 9700 in Antutu, but this is only a value...

Fairly i have to say, that battery-life depends on how we use the phone, but if we don't use it, system shouldn't drain the battery.

You can see on screenshots, that less power is draining, while phone isn't in use.

I use this kernel with Wolf v1.2 - maybe (for me) one of the best 4.1.2 rom. I haven't check for another rom, yet.

Last thing - maybe some scripts in init.d (LMK, zram or so) could make some issues. Pls. check them first, before reporting errors. Thanks.

Zip is cwm-flashable with kernel and modules in it.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ShoaibAhmed:
Horriblesubs are not releasing 10 bit mkvs as they need to release vidoes as fast as possible and 10bit encoding takes minimum 30 % more time. They directly downloads form crunchy roll and encode if you check more than you realized that their Quality is also not as good as other fansubs.

Currently Commie , gg, Final-8 , CBM , Subdesu , UTW and few others are providing 10bit.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] travoltas:
why wifi channels above channel 11 are not detectable? it has to do with kernel or with each rom?is there a fix?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XqepX:
Aren't WiFi channels above 11 in the 5GHz area? o.O
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] travoltas:
i am talking about 2.4GHz band where there are 14 channels availiable. xperia sola detects until channel 11.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akkufix:
There is entry in some kernel's ramdisk/st-ericsson.rc...

This also blocks channels while wifi running?

Btw. 5GHz is supported by cw1200 and as option in my kernel, but i couldn't check if Sola can use it.

Edit:

Checked - don't work.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] travoltas:
when airplane mode is off,sola detects all channels and those above channel 11.when airplane mode is on channels available are only 1 to 11. I guess network provider according to each counties's law gives permission to scan these channels (12-14). i would like all channels (1-14) to be availiable even if in airplane mode since they are all allowed here.

i dont know if its related to kernel

but i've got 160MB free ram compared to the stock AOSP kernel :good:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akkufix:
If you get md5 error, then check your sdcard.

This is normally not kernel related. Its a fault in files, which were not correct written/saved. So checksum is not ok.

You can try formatting sdcard and re-check or try another one.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Rodger_Rulez:
The same problem in generating md5

actually i dont have any external sd card installed on my phone because of the faulty slot

and with CM11 i can do nandroid backup.. so i guess its related to kernel

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] therualex:
Lot of Launcher redraws in Ultimate rom v11 for the latest version :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XqepX:
2CPUx250MHz ;) It speaks for performance because the tasks can be splitted onto both cores -> more tasks can be done at one time.

It speaks for the battery life because of the lower frequency ;) And with some modification you can make it possible that only one core is running when the phone is in deep sleep -> in deep sleep only one core at a frequency of 250MHz ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] travoltas:
in deep sleep only one core at a frequency of 250MHz .how can this be done?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akkufix:
Partly most confirm.

If phone works and has to do some jobs, it should run at a frequency that uses about 80% of cpu, before switching on next higher level. Also, not all tasks needs to activate both cores and both L2-cache or ram.

So, in deepsleep 1x200MHz is enough, but while it is "working", its better to have both cores activ.

And for deepsleep our phone is able to shut down parts (pages) of ram, which aren't used. ;)

---------- Post added at 12:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------

Activating "muticore" processing and hotplug in kernel. Then hardware can use every core as single cpu.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Deichz:
im not facing any launcher redraws..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] inunxelex:
deep sleep is only 1x200MHz :good:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akkufix:
Optimal deepsleep is cpu down (0MHz), only active for interrupts, ram is in self-refresh-mode and has shut down the parts, which are not needed/filled.

External peripherials (chipset), like modem, BT, wifi... only "listening" for external events and gives cpu an interrupt to "wake" up with a frequency (and cores), which is enough to handle this event. This could be in our case 1x200MHz or up to 1GHz.

All this could handled by kernel and hardware, if it was activated.

For ram it is also important, not cashing lot of things, because this will block parts of ram to power down. Also, we get our data from fast disk and not like on PCs from a mechanical harddisk. So, its better to "re-load" data, if it is needed, as cashing it.

That's also the reason why ksm not speed up the system anyways, but even most time this slow down the system, if it must handle "big" data.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akkufix:
Just warm up older post... ;)

Found that most kernels are set to "US" region by default. Maybe you don't get right country-code written.

You can check this with terminal or adb shell by typing

/system/bin/iw reg get

To get other country-code written, type

/system/bin/iw get reg XX

where XX is your country-code.

Maybe this will work for you.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] travoltas:
thanks a lot. this fixed my problem!:good::good::victory:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] travoltas:
today the problem showed up again. the fix was temporary wi fi above channels 11 worked with phone in airplane mode,but today it dissapeared. a i used again command /system/bin/iw reg get and the country code was US again.can this fix be made permanent?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Avennx:
Me too, Im getting the same problem. Can anyone help us with this problem?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akkufix:
This is in kernel's .rc-file. I'm using region "00" now in my newer builds, but don't know f this will solve it.

Maybe for a quick fix, you can make a script and put it in init.d to change region for your county while boot up your phone.

guys.....Experimental 12 for stock has been released.

since i had time and i was not satisfied with the last release,i started from scratch.i don't know if performance has improved since i am not heavy user but i am sure battery life has improved.

i also included UKSM and Slqb memory allocator.UKSM is disable by default but you can enable it from performance app but the best feature would be ABBamp,that allows you to increase headphones volume,thanks to [MENTION=4832589]cocafe[/MENTION] for this. read about it and UKSM in the HOW-TO section.

so, i suggest all of you to try this out and leave feedback if enabling UKSM or sqlb memory allocator improve your experience.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XqepX:
First of all thanks again for your work on the sola, your kernel are the best, I use Experimental EVERYTIME on Stock ICS and Stock JB based ROM's ;) To my second point:

You said that you added the ABBamp feature which should increase the volume of headphones. In my opinion we need excactly this feature for the phone speaker (over the Sony Logo) :D Headphone sound is perfect for me, but why not :D Anyway. Would be greate if there's this feature also for the phone speaker :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] itachilinux:
will waiting for CM version
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] etch04:
sure,i'll try to but i don't think it is needed for stock but for cm, i think it would be useful since cm usually have low volume.

i will.

But can you suggest other app than Performance Control? Because it always FCs on my Ultimate Rom. :(

Also, I agree with [MENTION=4508797]lol98lol98[/MENTION] bro ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] etch04:
i think that's rom problem because i am using it on stock jb and i don't have any such problem.try reporting it on the rom thread and see if other user have the same problem.

again,rom problem...i using it on stock jb and i don't have any problem.i don't know any other app that give you that much option but you can always control the kernel features via the terminal and init.d scripts.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akkufix:
Many things are rom related and don't be the fault of the kernel, because kernel only gives you the possibilities to use features and drivers, which are build in kernel.

So, how to handle with them features is rom's job or the job from scripts to activate or de-activate things.

Lot of roms are not well builded - only copied stuff into from other roms and not compiled/builded from sources. So, smali things don't fit to hardware and so on.

Btw. uKSM don't improve speed for normal use, only for databases or vpn.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] etch04:
UKSM is about de-duplication of data in system memory rather than being another de-duplicating file-system.so it is suppose to free more ram by de-duplication of data in system memory but i don't know how effective it is on android.so, i disable it by default but user can try if they want.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akkufix:
I knew that, mate. Have it also implemented in my kernel. But as i tested it, it reduced speed about 200 in antutu. So, if someone don't really need it, deactivate it and better use zcache. This feature inproves some speed and reduces storage accesses.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] etch04:
Tried zcache but didn't see any improvement.hmm....is it me or everything seems to work only in theory or maybe the improvement is so small that I didn't notice it??

Anyway thanks for the tip..I'll give zcache a shot again.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akkufix:
Hehe, the best improvments are these parts we don't remark, but which are around us. ;)

I regarded, that i had to build zcache as a module and load it in init.d to work properly. Don't know why it is that way...

Are you using "SCHED_MC=y" for powersave too? It is for multicore-cpus to let them control, how they work for pm.
