Have it .
50 MB cache + 220B system

So thanks but it does not boot ! :eek:
Just a short vibration after reboot ... screen stayed black and nothing appeared even in waiting !

The process I follow:
Code:
Press VOL +
fastboot -i 0x0fce getvar version
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata

Could you tell me /remind me the full process .. Hum, going back to a fresh .ftf for example, don"t know.

Ouep. This lets me a lot of time to find why, be'cause SK17i is unbrickable ! Na ! :(

For the moment, as i am on my crunchy, i changed to my UX with XP, yep you really read 'xp' ! And i have installed PC Companion and i have plugged the phone ... screen is showing me 'Sony Ericsson' !!! Still alive the beast ...
Now i'll reborn it and i'll come back when it will be done ... asap i hope. :silly:

There was a problem with my battery. It was discharged, tha't why nothing happened !
I replace it with my second and i followed the process ... The phone is working fine with .62.ftf, i tested it but after flashing your kernel and my 234 rom, the phone booted but screen stayed on 'Sony Ericsson' ... No boot loop ! But not anymore ... An idea ?

@zegoo

I read the procedure you followed, you forgot this

Code:
fastboot erase boot

I know its not a big deal but the same happened to my anzu when i first flashed this kernel w/o erasing boot partition!
give it a try!

Hi all and hi @karandpr

I'm back on this thread because i have a ST17i aka Satsuma aka Active and it should be the same hardware as SK17i without the physical keyboard ... I would like to know if this is possible to get a kernel without dualboot for GB with /cache at 50M about, /system at 200M about and the rest in /data, all with modules for wifi n, OTG or if the kernel already done for SK17i will work. I'm looking for a link but @karandpr done it for the most used by us.
Satsuma/Active is a great 2011 phone and i would like to reborn it. :D

Thanks for all

This was one of my experiments earlier this year.
Has the Doppler_180 config afaik ...
http://www.mediafire.com/download/h5g77o534bczmyt/Nin02_Satsuma.img
Uses Wifi of lupus so get it from there..

Run these commands one time...
dd if=/dev/zero of=/sdcard/cache/cache.img bs=1024 count=120000
mkfs.ext2 -F /sdcard/cache/cache.img

Run these commands on every boot
umount /cache
losetup /dev/block/loop7 /sdcard/cache/cache.img
mount -t ext2 /dev/block/loop7 /cache
chown system.cache /cache
chmod 770 /cache

Should give you 120MB of cache on demand...

Too lazy to work on GB cos it's very old and very dated android. Half of apps don't work

    A) only 3-5 users use this kernel
    B) after my mini pro got bricked, I can't test the kernel. This is the major reason for my severe lack of development.
    C) I don't have anyone else to test and report and its to much to expect I guess.
    Even on ics doppler, barring 2-3 enthusiastic people no one bothers to report. I have reports only from mango users.

    There is lot of stuff happening in my real life which has compounded my situation.

    I am trying to do the best I can. I have limits as a human. And currently that's what I am facing

    This is the GB variant of Doppler
    For now there ,only Governors ,Schedulers and O/C is added (courtesy, @wedgess) .Kernel is based of .84 sources

    Currently this is in testing phase and boot images ONLY available for anzu and mango

    Download : Mango
    Anzu

    Status:
    Mango Boots
    Anzu doesn't boot

    This thread is pretty much in place to prevent chaos on the original ICS thread.

    Unlike ICS ,GB uses /cache to download apps from playstore so partition Layout must be fixed .

    Check if the kernel boots

    Just kicking the bucket.
    How much /cache is required anyway.
    50 MB is the apk limit so I think cache should be 56 MB (Multiple of 4 plus a buffer of 6MB)

    Dying to test on Mini. ?
