I'm assuming you've flashed the Addon including the other modules, I'll look into it and of course I'll make Conservative as default governor since it is the best for performance and Battery Life...

Regarding the clock i'll have to check since I shrinked the freq table at 245 MHZ due stability but I think it is totally doable and will help to save more battery...

V3 will include the requested changes and will be out most likely on Sunday Night :)

Yes, clean install, flashed kernel first.

But the issue occurs from the first time i used ICS to now, never can fixed, neither WiFix.

It shows "Authenticating...", than show "Saved","Authenticating...", than show "Saved","Authenticating...", than show "Saved","Authenticating...", than show "Saved","Authenticating...", than show "Saved".

All time doing this, in another connection it works great. But the mistake is, WHY in Gingerbread it works goood, and in ICS isn't works?

I had the same issue few months ago. Try changing your Router configuration. And the authentication key. I noticed to have more issues when using WPA2 with any ICS ROM... But if you use WPA it will work just fine... Also try rebooting the Router...

What version of JJ's are you on now? So I Can test....

Did you do a clean install. Try installing GB first, then Flashing my kernel and from there JJ's Rom?

This is the error messages in logcat
Cannot set RW to "/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf": Operation not permitted
Wi-Fi will not be enabled
Failed to start supplicant!

Can you please upload q logcat? ... Thanks for the update. I'll see what the issue is, probably a permissions management in my init file. Anyway it would a nice Idea to do a Fix Permisions command in Recovery to fix it before booting the first time, I'll add it to OP

Thanks!

I have a problem with your kernel, for me it is very slow on arconium, fresh install. Using conservative as recommended. Of to 1600 but still slow.

Hola, estuve usando tu kernel con ICS oficial en un ARC S, y todo me pareció genial hasta que intenté tomar fotos... la cámara se cierra constantemente, creo que es por eso de "Increased RAM by reclaimed Unused Cam Memory (FXP Sources)." y para mi la cámara es esencial...
No sabes como puedo evitar los problemas de cámara?

Por cierto muchas gracias por el kernel es el mejor que he probado

Hi, great work.

Anyway, just a little detail, the bootscreen is not so good. Why do not make something simple like :

Sony
Powered By Arc-Night Kernel​

This could be cool. :)

Hmmm well conservative is for battery save with nice performance but if you need it to be q bit more responsive can please try using the Ondemand governor which was tweaked to be a bit more aggressive in terms of performance?

Hi!

Please try to keep in English as per forum rules. I thought I've fixed the "Unkown Error" in camera in v2 but I'm also experiencing random FC's with stock camera app . I'll try to increase a little more the memory allocation for Camera in V3 to have fixed finally.

I'll do it! Sorry for the bootscreen I'm not a pro in terms of image editing. I'll keep it simple until I find q good bootscreen for the Kernel.

Can you guys please elaborate q little more on Feedback I just want to know if things are working as expected or if something is not...

Thanks for testing :)

That my friend looks totally awesome! Can you make one based in black colors as well?

I like it! We should start a poll or some sort of contest to find the best boot screen...

Thank you for Testing!

Can you please share what your settings are? What Scheduler, Governor, Frequency?... What ROM are you using, so others members can also compare?

I'd really appreciate if you could provide a litle more detail on the feedback so I can improve what's not working as it should.

Thanks!

I was using beta ICS, now official nordic ICS. i did not mess with any settings on lt15i, because it tends to compromise either battery life or performance. basically i only flashed it over with modules and all.
What i would kindly ask you to change in next versions is the logo.rle to something more monochrome like above but more darkish ;)
thanks

    Please note the Kernel Will only Work in ROM based on ICS for Example: JJ's ROM, ICS Beta, ICS Official, MIUI V4, Arconium ICS etc... but not in CM9 since it uses its own Kernel.

    Hi Guys!

    First and foremost i'd like to thank all the great developers for the Sony (Ericsson) phones specially FXP (Jerpelea), Zdizihu, Bin4ry, Blagus and DoomLord. I've been part of the development experience since back on the X10 days when J&Z teamed up to create the first working version of Froyo for us and now that I've jumped to the Arc wagon it's great to see them supporting us as well.

    I've worked/read a lot trying to understand how Android works and litle by litle i've understand a lot of things and doing my experiments as well. I'm not by any means a "Huge", "Great" or Super Skilled developer such as the ones mentioned above but i'm learning and trying to be just like them to bring more things to our devices.

    Based on the experience I want to give back something to such rich community that have helped me in one way or another, this is the reason why I'm giving you my Arc-Night Kernel.

    Why the name "Arc-Night Kernel"

    Well I work from 7Am to 5Pm, I'm married and recently my first baby was born so as you might know it really takes a lot of time to take care of all that, hence the development/reading have happened during the nights only (Up to 12am).

    Ok, enough said I want to know what's this kernel all about!!

    The kernel was made for personal use, it was a personal project to understand what the kernel is and how it is build. I made it and then all the porting, tweaking started until i realized why not let other users more options other than stock plus and DoomKernel (Which are great by the way).

    • SKIPPED - IT WAS PRIVATE BETA TESTING.

    Version 5:

    Version 4:

    Version 3:

    Version 2:
    • FIXED Camera Error with some Extra RAM yet...

    Version 1:
    • OverClock up to 2GHZ.
    • Init.d Scripts Support.
    • Slightly Modified voltages Table (UV).
    • CMW Pre-installed - Thanks to Cobrato.
    • Increased RAM by reclaimed Unused Cam Memory (FXP Sources).
    • 0% Battery Friendly - Thanks to Bazoocase.
    • Tweaked Conservative Governor (Based on Midnight Kernel (SGS).
    • Tweaked Sio Scheduler.
    • Two Way Recording Call patch (Didn't test it).
    • Tweaked Ondemand Governor (Based on Zachariasmaladroit's work (SGS)).
    • Powersave, Performance and Conservative as Available Governors.
    • Deadline and Noop as available Schedulers.
    • Support for ext2,ext3,ext4 and NTFS FileSystems.
    • Based on ICS Beta Sources.
    • Extra Addon with Modules so Users can load just what they Want! (More details on this below).

    The Addon Package is an stand alone flashable zip that includes a number of modules so the user decides wether he/she use them or not, it is like removing bloat ware and to give the user the free to choose how to tweak their own phone.

    List of available modules that can be insmoded after the kernel has booted:

    • SIO io scheduler.
    • VR io scheduler.
    • CFQ Frequency Governor.
    • SmartAss Frequency Governor.
    • SmartAssV2 Frequency Governor.
    • Powersave Frequency Governor.
    • TWEAKED Ondemand Frequency Governor.
    • AS io scheduler.
    • Userspace Frequency Governor.
    • Cifs.ko.
    • Tun.ko.

    To load any of those modules just do insmod /system/lib/modules/"nameofthemodule" and if you want to use them at boot time you can use a init.d script.

    Bugs Known Issues:
    1. Update April 27: NONE AT THE MOMENT!!! :D

    How to flash Arc-Night Kernel:

    1. Put the phone in Fastboot mode
    2. In terminal do: fastboot flash boot Arc-Night_Kernel_V1.img
    3. Hit Enter
    4. When Led lights turn on press any key to go into recovery.
    5. Clean Cache and dalvik Cache to avoid any issues.
    6. If you come from DoomKernel be sure to start from scratch since most likely you have flashed his WiFi modules and it will not work on my Kernel.

    Downloads/Recomendations in Second Post!

    Updates Plans
    • Port other Frequency Governors Like Lagfree, BFQ, etc...
    • Fix Camera Issue without removing the Reclaimed Camera Memory - Done in V2
    • Create Script to be used like Supercharger to load specific modules chosen by user only.
    • Upgrade WiFi drivers to provide more signal range (Just like in FXP's CM9).
