requesting to kindly add phantom improvements for this kernel :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] matood:
I'm using this kernel for last few days. Performance is very good, smooth no glitches, it just works. I had no problem with anything. Battery life improved a lot, I'm using wheatley/deadline on 200-900MHz. Its superfast and supersmooth. Veerygood work.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] vishnu:
I'll add the missing governor and a couple more improvements and publish the next version real soon.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mkoev:
I've also been using this kernel since its release date and I am very happy. For me personally it is the best kernel. Battery life is very, very good.

Used to use it with wheatley+deadline but now I am using sakurative + deadline. I think Sakurative gives a little bit better performance. Next I will try pegasusq :) Waiting for the next version with great anticipation :) 10x dev.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben Ling:

Now using Performance ICS version, not bad,but I don't like the bootsplash.

i m using xperia sola .54 cm9 .i read about 1.4 mhz and 1.2 mhz innthis post ...what is this...its a 1mhz phon then how? ..

also wats the benefits of this kernal?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mkoev:
Basically, the kernel comes with overclocked CPU frequencies, this is why you can select 1.2Ghz, 1.4Ghz, etc. I do not use those because I do not play games. You can read about the benefits on the first page of this thread.

I've heard that 1.2 and 1.4 make the phone unstable. Some people reported that 1.15 Mhz was the best OC frequency.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] thejaswynd:
in the first post there is only names of the features .but i dont know their applications and how they became usefull!!!!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mkoev:
This is a development thread, not a Q&A thread. Please ask such questions in the Q&A thread. If you do not know what Auto Root or Overclocking is then you should not be spamming this thread with such questions.

I've been using this Rom for about a week. Suddenly phone rebooted. When it came back on I started getting error messages. Google play has closed. I get this message every few seconds. In addition I get messages about all different apps closing. Acore, Pandora, and many more. Also when I open certain apps they fc. I have tried to wipe the dalvik cache. I have also tried reinstalling rom without wiping. Non of this has helped.

hey guys!This kernel is very very very good!!greate work !

however i can't save i/o scheduler and scaling settings :( please help me ,if you can!Rom or Kernel issue ?

Rom : Project GX 5.1 (based on stock ics)

Kernel : Trascendence v 1.1.6

any suggestions also if it's a rom issue?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MEHRDAD595:
try to use THIS
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] krauzerII:
no frills is already installed by default in this rom! i can use it from the developer settings.The problem is that i can't save my settings even using no frills(i save settings but after the wake up from stand by settings go back to deafault).

I've tried to delete the application by using rootbrowser and then install cpu master to manage cpu frequences,i/o scheduler and scaling but same thing happens :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MEHRDAD595:
so try to make a init.d script file nad put this in file:

echo XXXXX > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

XXXXX is your governor for cpu

echo XX > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq

for min freq

echo XXX > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

for max freq.

for i/o i had script but cant find it right now!

will pm to you if i found :)

good luck! ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] krauzerII:
i was looking in the folders indicated in the strings written by you ,just to be sure of what i'm doing, and in the "cpu1" folder there isn't a "cpufreq" folder but there is a "cpufreq" folder in "cpu0" folder (the other folders and files are in the right place),so what i have to do ?there is something wrong in your strings or in my smartphone?

In root/etc/init.d there are many scripts if you wana see i can pm it to you :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MEHRDAD595:
init.d folder is in /system/etc folder! not in root

sry,i made a mistake.its cpu0 not cpu1 :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] krauzerII:
ok for the cpu0 problem,however there are the same files in system/etc/init.d
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MEHRDAD595:
np,just make a file named 00xx W.O extension and put there with same permission as other files :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] krauzerII:
doesn't work ! :(

script strings:

#!/system/bin/sh

echo Lionheart>/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

echo 400000>/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq

echo 800000>/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

what i've done:

written the script,converted the EOL format to UNIX,saved the file "00xx W" with .O extension ,put it to system/etc/init.d folder ,set parmissions 777 as the other files in the same folder and then rebooted the device.

I've tried to do the same thing with a different extension(All types(".")) but the same thing happen.

any experienced that the mhz step back automatically to 1mhz ? any fix for this ? i'm using this kernel with slimfxp and it seems to be the best combination i have tried so far.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bobafetthotmail:
I did.

It appears that the CM9 cpu performance settings fails to change frequencies or governor. (and there is no option to change the scheduler)

I solved with unticking the "apply on boot" from the performance settings (which makes whatever you set in that become irrelevant after a reboot) and installed NoFrillsCPUControl app (and ticked the "apply on boot" in it).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ppr01:
This seems to work but even after reboot, it automatically step back to 1ghz even set it to 800mhz, experience it after a call. it gets back to 1ghz. but if its standby for text browse, (haven't tested after playing a game) its stays at 800mhz.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bobafetthotmail:
if you clicked apply on boot in the app and unticked the "apply on boot" from the performance settings of CM9, I'd say you screwed up something.

Try reflashing kernel. If it does not work, flash latest stock rom with flashtool and start again.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ppr01:
Ok I have re installed the rom. I have set my frequencies on both cm settings and no frills but I have only checked the apply on boot settings in no frills. Will have to test for a while. Thanks

Hi guys

I'm trying to put my arc s into fastboot mode by plugging in USB cable and holding down the menu button. The blue LED flashes for less than a second and then the device just continues to the charging screen. I'm running the stock ICS and my device is rooted and want to flash some new versions of jelly bean.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHaso:
You should hold menu button then connect. Anyways I think you got a driver issue.

Install drivers for fastboot, then try again
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kp789:
Thanks for info. Tried that. Downloaded android sdk with adb and fastboot but computer only makes the usb connection sound and doesn't detect new hardware. My arc s doesn't stay in fastboot mode because the blue led only stays on for about 0.5s.

If your boot loader is "corrupt" your device is hard bricked.

Try a reinstall of drivers, or a different cable. Also are you on windows 8.

Im have that same problem, I past all guide but LED are blue only for short time and system are load in normal way.

But still I dont sure Im have unlocked bootloader or I can unlock bootloader. Im use wotanserver.com ( 8 euro )

According to the log, your device is not turned off, when you are doing it.

Turn the phone off completely from the power menu.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kp789:
The screen shot was to show the versions of things I've got installed on my phone. Had to turn it on to get it. When the device is turned off there is no log. Regardless of any drivers installed on the Pc, the phone should still boot in either flasmode or fastboot mode when the Usb is connected since this is code controlled by the bootloader of the phone. In theory you should be able to enter these modes just by plugging in a usb charger. Even using flashtool to reboot the device into fastboot using the adb drivers doesn't work. The device will reset and the blue led will still only flash for 0.5s before continuing to start normally. Does anybody know if there Is there a testpoint method for the arc s?
