[NAND] CyanogenMod 7.2 from source

I'm ataching new dmesg log, charging from complete discharge. https://www.dropbox.com/s/i8m8oibnuws4qg1/logas.txt
unplugeg on local 15:07 time, phone showed 13:55 (btw automatic network sync is on). did restart after log creation, battery dropped to 91%. It could be hard to do battery calibration in this situation

For me battery usage is quite good - I had 2 h LCD on and listened music, without SIM card. I think it's good. CRII, you gave X1 new life.

BTW, I don't want to sell such a good phone (for me only disadvantage is WM, nowadays).

Some notes on charging issues. I'm usually charging phone in sleep mode. But in this situation internal time offset is somehow affected. I've tried for several time to charge with no sleep, meaning screen always is on while charging, thus extending charging time. But didnt noticed any problems besides long charge time. So I'm curious that the problem with clock arises then phone is in suspend and charging.

We need some touch screen calibration tool. It is really annoying(especially on my chinese touch). Otherwise thanks for you work, everything seems to work pretty well.

I have never noticed any offset in the touchscreen. What kind of problem are you experiencing?

The calibration is hard-coded in the file drivers/input/touchscreen/msm_ts.c in the kernel.

If you follow the kernel steps in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1487169 you can make changes to this file and use fastboot to flash a new boot.img.

I know recompiling the kernel to calibrate the touch-screen is a bit of a pain, but I don't know of any other ways to do it.

BTW: Would you like med to include a Chinese translation also? Do you know the locale?

No no, I am from Ukraine, ukrainian is already included. The main problem is ocasional launch of apps when I scroll through the menus. I changed digitizer touch today, the problem remains. It may be a lag of some kind, it is even laggy as I type this. I will try to go back to my old 2.3.5 nandroid, performance wise 2.3.5 roms are much better for some reason.
Upd
It is lag... Turned on governor performance, the problem is gone.

Should I stay or should I go?

Hi there,

I am currently running jerrytan93's "IceDroid v8 with Beats" on the X1. Jerry stopped the ROM development in September 2012.
The ROM runs quite good but has its quirks.

My issues with IceDroid 8 and a response by taninos are listed in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=32089098&postcount=402

The whole thread for IceDroid can be found here in case someone's interested.

I have to admit that I'm not that savvy with the inner workings of Android. Getting the ROM up and working took some time and involved several explicit expressions.

Currently, there seem to be three contenders for an update:
- Cyanogenmod 7.2 by CoolrunnerII
- Code Butter by BrianXP7
- ZeamDroid v7.2.1 by kuskro

After reading through the threads, I am thinking about giving CoolrunnerII's "original" ROM a chance in the hope to have a "faster" ROM and GPS.
I am using the X1 as a secondary and "party" phone, so no pressure here.

Any opinions/warnings/hints from you guys before the change?

Much obliged,
Smoover

videocamera dont work..

After asking for advice in the thread of CoolRunnerII's "CyanogenMod 7.2 from source" ROM and receiving an answer from BrianXP7, I decided (against his advice, actually ^^ ) to give "Code Butter" a fighting chance.

The built "CodeButter-GB-20130305-KOVSKY" has now been running on the X1 for two days and these are my experiences so far. Some of the issues are already mentioned in the first post of the "Code Butter" thread but I will put them here nonetheless.

Before flashing "Code Butter" via CWM, I did a factory reset and a cache and dalvik cache wipe.
Installed "Holo Launcher", removed "LauncherPro".

Positives

Overclocking ability built into the system settings (set it to the maximum of 614 MHz)
Overall subjective impression of "faster" performance when compared to IceDroid v8 (might at least partially be caused by the overclocking)
GPS working but not yet extensively tested. Might have caused one system crash already
Improved WLAN connectivity and stability compared to IceDroid v8
Youtube videos play in "non-HD"
Decent battery life. Did a reset by "BatteryCalibration" app and get about 30 h of use in a mixed setting (airplane mode on/off, WLAN on/off, etc.)

Negatives

Screen turns green for one or two seconds when changing screen orientation
Device did not wake up from standby three times in the last two days, had to be reset by removing the battery
WLAN connectivity is overall still unstable. The connection to a WPA2 enrypted AP drops for unknown reasons in irregular intervals
Cache partition too small? The "Cache Fixer" app shows 14 MB of cache which is too small for a facebook app update (14,4 MB) which results in an "error 498" in the Play Store. I don't know if this is caused by the ROM but this problem did not occur under IceDroid AFAIR.
Video capturing does not work. The camera app starts to record but then does not accept any more input and crashes after about a minute. The resulting file is corrupt and cannot be opened in a video player.
No hardware acceleration for video playback (thus effectively no video playback except maybe for very low resolution videos)
Reason for installation of GooManager? It shows download errors for all selections and (at least in my case) the booting to recovery can be done by selecting the entry when powering down the device. Do I need an account?
QWERTY Hardware keyboard layout. Is it even possible to change this? I would prefer German, especially for the umlauts.

BrianXP7, thanks for your efforts in cooking the ROM (is "cooking" still an acceptable expression ^^ ?).
Do you still think I should give ZeamDroid a try or is the situation described above as good as it will get?

Yours truly,
Smoover

Hi all!
I installed CoolrunnerII's ROM and sems it is fine. Could you help me with VPN on this ROM? It doesn't work. I found some decision with VPNC but it needs right compiled tun.ko driver. In the DroidVPN repository I can't find it. Could you help and compile it? I think it will be useful for all. Thanks a lot!

FEAT VPN shoud work because it doesn't need the tun.ko module. You can download the full app version on www.featvpn.com for free.

Best.

I think it's not what I need. I need connect my device to our corporate network via vpn L2tp/ipsec psk through cisco asa with soft 8.4 and VPNC can do it. But VPNC need tun.ko

If you use fastboot and flash the latest boot.img you will get the tun.ko file. You can have a look at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1487169 you can see how to extract the contents of the boot.img file if you want to just install the file.

zargloub allways pubilshed boot.img files with all the kernel modules installed, but I never got around to including them in my ROMs. If I get the time I can try to put them in.

Thanks for your answer.
Your work is great!

Hi all.
Have 1 question.
I took boot.img from CoolrunnerII's code.google.project, unpack it and there are version 2.6.35.7-92869-g3461e2d. In my xperia there is 2.6.35.7-92872-g3f0092b. The question - Will tun.ko from 2.6.35.7-92869-g3461e2d work on 2.6.35.7-92872-g3f0092b? Or maybe somebody have full boot.img version 2.6.35.7-92872-g3f0092b?
Thanks!

As long as it is more or less the same kernel version a kernel module will work. If you found a module compiled for a 2.4 kernel you would get problems, but any build of the same version will work. (The full version string here is 2.6.35)

Good luck!

santos81 · Mar 13, 2013

I tried and have a problem - versions are important. insmod return error - Exec format error. Dmesg says - version magic 2.6.35.7-92869-g3461e2d - should be 2.6.35.7-92872-g3f0092b. Could somebody help me?

run with "insmod -f" to force the version check

It doesn't work. Maybe some limitations of the kernel? Insmod doesn't accept any options on my xperia.
usage - insmod <module.o> - thats all. Have you another variants for solving this issue?

You are right, it doen't work.

Try flashing this kernel with fastboot: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod-kovsky/downloads/detail?name=boot_LCD_Power_off.img&can=2&q=

Then you try to use insmod to install the module. If everything fails I can try to build a kernel with tunnelig built into it.
