[NAND][ROM] CyanogenMod 7 : kernel updates

for me it doesn't find any network on wlan
also data was very weak and unstable for me this week. sometimes i just couldn't get it to work...
Hi zargloub, first of all congrats and thanks a lot for being the only one that show a real interest to finish his work with the xperia x1 kernel.
I write you because I've tried to load on boot a init.d script to load the module wlan.ko.
I'm having problems with IceDroid v7 and Wifi-Tether app. Could you help as with Wifi-tether?
Best.

do
modprobe `basename $i .ko` >/dev/null 2>&1

exit 0Best.
How can I set my cpu lower than 128
I wanna test the battery on that situation
I think 128 is more for idle time
What do you think about that ?
Thanks

You have to add a lower frequence in acpuclock-arm11.c and in .config
Thanks but I couldn't find them
are they in kernel ?
Is there any program that able to do that ?
I think wifi was better in "March 19th 2012" than "March 23th 2012"
the " March 23th 2012" has a lot of bug and I can't download and in viber and skype

It's great having you here. Could you help us with wifi-tether?
I try to load the wifi interface, nats modules and wlan.ko, but wifi-tether doesn't works.
Hi, you do not need to flater me to have a response
You should use insmod instead of modprobe. modprobe uses modules names, and insmod uses paths.
Thanks !
I didn't noticed there was a 19200 configuration in this file.
I added it.
So i'm testing it and i'll post a new version today.
EDIT : Won't post kernel, beause catastrophic (battery usage, shutdow everytime, etc ..).
So i use March 19th 2012 g7e16eb7 version.
Lot of work this week and next week. I'll work again on kernel maybe at the end of month.

Thank you so much. Have you tried to use wifi-tether in IceDroid?
Is the kernel ready for tethering? I'm unable to make it work in Icedroid.
Can we use your kernel with a Froyo build? In Froyo roms wifi-tether works.
Hi zargloub thanks for everything you have done for x1
could you guide me about something that it kept my mind busy
I set my CPU from 128 to 384 and it works great and I think it can work lower than 128 for minimum and it's helping battery,am I right ?
or I'm wrong about that
did you test it in this situation, because I think 128 MHz for minimum is too high and it can work under that for idle time
could you set a kernel for test and set CPU lower than 128 like between 20 and 50 MHz for minimum
thanks

Hi, i think i won't work anymore on this device because my battery is near to death, and i need a working phone. It last 1h so it's not usable anymore.
If someone have a new, healthy battery he don't use and want to send it to me, send a private message, but i don't want to spend money on that old phone and i think i will rather buy a motorola defy plus
I update the last kernel version and way to build, and i hope sharing my work had been usefull.

So Sad to hear that you decide to Stop this development....
I Hope You Still willing to fix the kernel someday when you have a free time offcourse
Thanks a million for all your Efforts.. and Good Luck

Oh nooo
sharing your work was great. Please continue developing we could all donate for a new one. If that doesn't work i would buy you a new one myself Gesendet von meinem Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 mit Tapatalk

Thanks for new kernel and new value for minimum CPU
I hope you could continue working on kernel
I really like working with android on my x1

Open a paypal account that we pay you the battery.
I've just buy a Motorola Defy plus.
It's a great phone ! No more important call missed.
So i can give the xperia to my one year dauther who loves to play with. It's allready old, the glass is broken, volume buttons does not work, and battery is down.
It's a cool end of life for him !
All informations to build boot.img from scratch are in the first post of this thread. I hope that someone else will continue. All sources are public.
Anyway, it's now usable as a phone (if not at end of life like mine).

31Hi, i work on kernel only, from Alexander's repository.
You can update only the kernel whith fastboot, using boot img from archive.
Of course, given "as it", if your phone may unlikely be damaged, i'm not responsible for it. I'm just sharing with interrested people work i do for myself.

This new corrects :
* framebuffer that isn't updated after resume while there isn't external event.
(black screen when out of suspend)
* battery management
Remaining to do :
* libgps
* Fix the Wifi indicator up in the status bar to correspond to its signal strength + wifi & BT mac adress
* Wifi crash when connected and device suspended
* When go to plane mode and come back from it, phone call terminate immediatly.
* Often, data connexion need to be relaunched
* better camera support + frontal camera
* fat partition on sdcard at boot (but not prioritary on my mind, and might not be a kernel problem).
* fm radio
* Light sensor for the LCD

Found battery datasheet : http://www.digchip.com/datasheets/parts/datasheet/280/DS2746-pdf.php
There's a register to correct accum capacity register increase. Added support of it when battery seems full and not charging anymore.
Found more information about the accu capacity register. So i modifyed the comportement (accum value correction) for low value.
But not tested, battery still not low enough.
Edit : low value accum value correction does not work at all. You should not use this version. Ill reread datasheet monday.
Edit2: bug of shame found :-s
unsigned char i2c_msg[3];
i2c_msg[0] = r;
- i2c_msg[2] = v & 0xFF;
+ i2c_msg[1] = v & 0xFF;

minimum cpu freq down to 19 (actualized in boot.img-ramdisk/init.kovsky.rc too)

This version seems not working well, but i don't know wich commit you'll have to revert

Some people asked me how to rebuild boot.img. Here is a way to do.
You should use debian whith classic dev tools packages (arm gcc, git, etc ...).
It's easyier to make a script to make compilation and resend by fastboot.
# Get boottools
git clone https://github.com/AndroidRoot/BootTools.git
cd BootTools
make
cd ..
# Get and build kernel (if you want to use mine)
git clone git://gitorious.org/~poussevin/linux-on-qualcomm-s-msm/tp-alex-linux-xperia.gi
t -b android-2.6.35
cd tp-alex-linux-xperia
cp arch/arm/configs/htc_msm_android_defconfig .config
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- TARGET_BOARD_PLATFORM=msm7k
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- TARGET_BOARD_PLATFORM=msm7k modules
rm -rf modules_path
mkdir modules_path
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- TARGET_BOARD_PLATFORM=msm7k INSTALL_MOD_PATH=modules_path modules_install
cd ..
# Recreate bootdir
rm -rf newboot
mkdir newboot
cd newboot/
# Unpack original boot.img
export PATH=../BootTools/:$PATH
cp ../boot.img .
../BootTools/unpack-bootimg.sh boot.img
rm -rf boot.img-ramdisk/lib
# Replace image
cp ../tp-alex-linux-xperia/arch/arm/boot/zImage boot.img-kernel
# Change minimum cpu freq
sed -i 's/min_freq 122880/min_freq 19200/g' boot.img-ramdisk/init.kovsky.rc
# Add modules
cp -rf ../tp-alex-linux-xperia/modules_path/* boot.img-ramdisk
# Rebuild boot.img
rm boot.img-ramdisk.cpio.gz
cd boot.img-ramdisk
find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > ../boot.img-ramdisk.cpio.gz
cd ..
mkbootimg --cmdline "fbcon=rotate:2 smd_rpcrouter.hot_boot=1 no_console_suspend" --kernel boot.img-kernel --ramdisk boot.img-ramdisk.cpio.gz -o boot_new.img
cp boot_new.img ../boot.img
cd ..
rm -rf newboot7I think I finally have gotten somewhere with the battery drain. Alex had written some code to turn of power to the LCD-panel, but he had put a "return;" in front of it. I removed it and Voilá: Lower battery drain
You do get some artifacts on the screen when going out of suspend. I think this is just an annoyance, but I have just tested it since last night.
I just uploaded a boot.img file.4The percentage is calculated from Volt readings and not storage capacity (mAh)
It's a bit more complicated.
There's an internal register in the battery, that increase or decrease, managed by battery chip.
We can correct values, when we estimate it's not good, in the driver (for example, if you don't do anything, the register grows while it's pluged, even if charge finished).
We estimate in the driver the "full" value of this register, and calculate ratio with it.
