Regarding the sources for my kernel changes, yes, I do have them, but I have yet to push my commits into github. The only fix really relevant on the kernel is the Vol+ issue, and then there are less important things Sony did like tweaking the OOM killer. As a bonus (mostly to myself, because it was a pet "issue" for me) I've also merged the Sakuractive cpu governor (took a bit of fiddling because the kernel interfaces related to cpu stats changed on 3.4, and the original author of Sakuractive haven't updated it in a while).

I haven't fixed the camera yet, at least not the 1080p stutter on recorded videos, if that's what you mean. The fix for that is not on the kernel, but on the blobs for the camera, so there's no source for that - my idea is to figure out which files I should extract from Sony's 6.2.B.96 FTF, and then try to inject these files over the older ones shipped on RC2. It should work, in theory.

Then there's the hangouts / voip issue. That's trickier because the fix for that is on the framework (Android). I've tried compiling the relevant libs standalone, but it was complaining all the time about some missing dependency on other parts on Android. I would clone the relevant repository and wire things up so it would compile, and for a while I could get the compiling to go a bit further, but I was always hitting a snag that required me to clone another bit of android, so at some point I figured it would be easier to just repo sync the whole thing and make a full build of OpenSEMC, which should contain the fixed libs, because Chris (that sounds even better) already merged it here - it's just that he did that *after* he released RC2. So just doing a full build of OpenSEMC's latest sources should be enough to produce a build without the hangouts bug (that's what I meant by doing a refresh build when I talked to him earlier, btw).

Now, about the timeline: as I said before, I've left my harddrive (that contains the VM with my dev environment) at work doing the repo sync during the weekend, and the kernel sources I've worked on are also there, so I can't push my changes to github right now, but I intend to do just that during this week, and then I'll send you a pull request so you can get the goods. Meanwhile I'll try to figure out the camera blobs, and after I get an OpenSEMC build going, I'll probably create another branch for the kernel because I want to create my own version to ship with the unnofficial OpenSEMC build I'm (hopefully) going to make, with a more slimmed down kernel - basically removing some of the governors that I don't care about or just don't work at all (which is about half of them), and I'll probably remove overclocking too, in part because I don't care about it, and also because I suspect it is the culprit of the problem of cpu maximum clock jumping up and down on their own, which still happens to me from time to time. Thinking about it now, it looks like that at this point this kernel will be much closer to the standard OpenSEMC kernel than yours... oh well. :)

Cheers!

Just tried the ROM out, perfect in every aspect, except it can't play videos. But I'm aware that this issue is being addressed. There has been no lag, random reboots or heating up of the phone. This a very well-crafted ROM.

I can try, but I won't promise anything.

Exams are going on at this moment, so I'm pretty busy

What went wrong with your build?

You can continue over PM, to keep this thread cleaner
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nelikp:
Nevermind bro...

I successfull to build and got it boot on ION

but no network at all

On 4.2 with this source also no network at all

I already mention [MENTION=2784807]DooMLoRD[/MENTION] and asking for his help

but maybe he was busy right now...

so what ION user need now is proper kernel for that able to receive GSM network

Hey! The one with the OmniROM animation is my old one.

NOT OFFICIAL RC0.

Official builds shall have OpenSEMC bootsplash & CyanogenMod animation.

My builds will have one(or both) changed, to differentiate from the originals.

Also, mine may have a few extras like wallpapers, notifications and ringtones where mentioned.

Official builds are from RaymanFX only.

I'm only posting my builds to keep everyone happy with having the latest changes from the genius
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rc_enzo:
That makes sense. I was talking about the RC0 (specifically, so this mix-up would be avoided), but apparently that didn't work. For that, I apologise.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] matonka007:
I try this ROM and now must say that it can be my daily ROM very soon. Have only small bugs like long time starting camera app or broken images in running apps windows (long press home).

Small thing is that somethimes I see the OpenSEMC logo in some animations. (for example starting google play store) - it show this logo for very short time (maybe half a second) but is little anoying :D

Thanks for all :)

Oh is trim support working in this rom? Cause it's not on the aosp version. I couldn't find anything in this thread just curious actually.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] alveos:
Older rom has about 658 ram too.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RaymanFX:
GREAT! :)

Thank you very much for finding this!

Though I need to figure out the cause of this, because -in theory- our msm_fb should be up-to-date to fit the latest framebuffer acess registers in fw/native.

Btw, I likely found the issue that is causing most of the lags and the bootsplash being shown for half a second sometimes.

Cause for the ladder is probably related to derped continous splash screen framebuffer memory, so the splash screen somehow gets stuck in memory and gets releases on buffer overflow (everytime you see the splash). I am also bringing back some of the Sony specific MIPI panel regulators, because the MDP bandwidth is calculated based upon some other info and the panel frame rate. Calculation might be borked because of missing regulatos to control MIPI's bandwidth/power requests. Let's see... :)

[MENTION=4921331]sudhindrakv[/MENTION]: Free RAM is lost RAM.

Also, before anyone asks (IF anyone asks): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Industry_Processor_Interface

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_decision_process

I'm confused reading the Wiki article, what even doing the actual programming xD
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Gallardo994:
Free RAM is free RAM. Having more is better than not having enough at all. Free RAM lets more apps be kept in memory for the end user, so minimizing a game while speaking in ICQ won't result into a closed game. Free RAM is lost RAM only in situations when even the user doesn't use it (E.G. 8gb RAM on a home computer).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
Exactly.. We already have around 685mb ram compromising 315mb for gpu to prevent laggy system.. Do we really have to dig more??? WTH??? I thought 716 in 4.2 was fast indeed and 4.3 should use less ram as google stated when they released 4.3.. May be since its a WIP, i think Rayman will come off with more Free RAM version in future after fixing display issues..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Phantasm4489:
the scope of the changes controlled by this #define are quite limited so hopefully this should provide some insight into why it doesn't work correctly without it being set.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cronot:
I believe the term someone755 was looking for is actually "wasted", not "lost".

Anyway, Gallardo is correct. However, take into account that every android app can take at least 10Mb up to an average of 30Mb, often more depending on the app. And that's considering only backgrounded apps or apps with running services - apps with loaded Activities ("windows") hardly will take less than 25Mb.

My point is: I don't think all the boohoo going on about the less userspace RAM is justified - if you had the 25Mb or so more of available RAM, you'd be able to have a whooping ONE more app in the background. Whoopedoo.

Sorry, I don't think it matters. And it's not like this lost RAM is going into the void. It's being used for something - either it's providing more performance, or it is necessary for a key system component to work - it's often the price you have to pay for newer software (read: OS) on the same hardware. It's the same on PCs, it shouldn't be unexpected here either. If you're so precious about your RAM, then you're better off going back to ICS, because I find it unlikely to get any better on KitKat. The devs may be able to optimize / squeeze a handful Megs out of the system at some point, but I don't think you're getting anywhere higher than 680Mb or so.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
Everyone has their own opinion on this and it's been going on eversince the release of WinXP (maybe before, but I wasn't around in the tech world back then). Let's just leave it at this, shall we?

*hopes noone jumps on and starts a huge-bottom 30-page argument*

Now, to the topic.

Sir Hesse, what's the core difference between the MIPI and MDP things? I understand the first is some software to control hardware on mobile devices, and the latter is an algorithm based on randomness.

Also, how does a random algorithm have so much to do with the display?

I am confused :I
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cronot:
You got the definition for MDP wrong. It's simply "Mobile Development Platform". It was a term coined by Qualcomm, I believe.

[MENTION=3463426]RaymanFX[/MENTION], what's going on with codefirex? You said you will bring that to our Xperia s :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RaymanFX:
Just to clarify: The person named on the contributors list over at OmniRom is not me, it's another rayman (yes, we are everywhere :D)!

I have not and will not join OmniRom for several reasons, the main ones being me lacking time and my loyalness to CodefireX.

This is right. I am developing CodefireX, but not only for the Xperia S...

Yesterday I compiled a working build of CodefireX for Nozomi though, which means it should follow shortly after alpha 1, which itself is going to be uploaded today, if everything goes well. No ETA though, you know the rules :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rc_enzo:
Scratch what I said earlier: switched over to Alpha 1 and I'm going to test this as a daily driver. Because it's a massive improvement over Alpha 0, simply unbelievable. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AnrgKrshn:
Guys, does this build have the Hangout bug that was there in 4.2.2
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RaymanFX:
Alpha 1 is out, go get it and let me know if it feels better than Alpha 0! :)

I used camera blobs from Sony's .211 release this time, which solves the long camera startup time but breaks 1080p recording for now..

Screenshot and recents menu are also fixed and screenshots are up in the third post.

Happy flashing!

Time for some flashing :D Thanks rayman!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] YoungFiire:
Thanks for alpha 1 Rayman ! I flashed it and I have to say that it is running very good for an "alpha" version. Rom is very smooth , no lags no stuttering animations :good: . Only Problem for me know is that Kamera is not working , if I try to make a photo it says "Camera closed" , change to camcorder is not possible , same Problem as taking a photo. And one little annoying thing is that if I switch from taskmanager to homescreen I see the Opensemc logo for a second. I don't know if this is made by you or if it is a bug but please fix these 3 Problems and you will be my Hero ! :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
The openSEMC logo appearing issue is a bug, something to with broken driver.

BTW, thinking of a developer leaving his watermark all over the ROM gives me a headache...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mithab:
The rom is really smooth. Lot smoother than stock based custom roms :D Automatic time & date isn't working :|

So i read that android will soon support 3.10 kernel, my question is will we ever get that on xs? Is it possible now that Sony will not release any update in the future? What kind of improvement we will get from a newer kernel? Sorry but my knowledge on kernel is pretty limited and i apologies if this is the wrong place to ask. Thanks in advance.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jeremy0:
Thanks for the good advices Dev.7!

I will do it now.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] FenrirMX:
It's possible in the sense that it's within the realm of possibility, but the chances of Sony releasing anything for this phone are slim at best. As for what new goodies the kernel might bring, you might be better off asking the Google.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RaymanFX:
Sorry guys, I can't seem to reproduce the issue here, so yes, I would dare to say it's only you two (or maybe some more).

You must have installed something wrong, or messed up your setup somehow.

I did 3 clean flashes and one with dirty data restore, and never came to experience a 'long lasting black screen'.

Could you atleast grab a logcat? Though I virtually don't have any free time right now, I might look into it the other day.

Nope, you'll never see it from Sony (atleast not for the Xperia S).

Frankly, I also don't see any point in changing our kernel base. We already got Linux 3.4, which is ahead of some 'modern' devices actually.

What we need are better, improved drivers, not a new kernel base. Don't try to fix what is not broken, ever heard of this? ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bamboohao:
What i meant was actually 3.10, and the 3.4 that we have now is actually considered '3.04' in this case, where 10>4( not in decimal but the actual number, sorry i dont know how to present what i actually mean more clearly lol), i saw it a few days back at some forum where people found codes related to 3.10 in the AOSP code. Anyway, i know you have done a lot on the driver, good luck for anything you are going to do, really really appreciate it :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dev.7:
Thanx for the reply against the issue.

Will try a couple of more fresh installations.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RaymanFX:
Ah, I should have thought twice before responding, I get what you mean now.

Still, the reasons why we should not upgrade are overwhelming, so my choice would still be our LK 3.4 base.

Again, apologies for my stupid mistake :)

I had an important physics exam, but this doesn't serve as an excuse I guess.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] m1st3r1:
Hahaha. Ofc Rayman knew what's the numbers mean. And he gave us answers. Some new devices still shipped with 3.0.8 kernel, we still lucky to have 3.4.x kernel. And then he thought new kernel-base change doesn't give us advantage, better give us optimized and working driver.

So, no, unless Sony made new kernel base changed (3.10) for XS (very unlikely), raymanfx prefers to work in current kernel and improve the drivers. Hope u understand. And ofc, he knew 3.10. is newer than 3.4.
