[ROM][ICS][UNLOCKED][ALL MDPI] Helium Light / updated 23-july-14

[karandpr]

Few minutes ago ,I flashed this kernel and rom from first page on my Mango ... There is only one problem - WiFi doesn't work :/ I have to flash something more?

Well. I was not sure if it would boot . So I never bothered compiling WiFi Modules .:angel: . So yeah WiFi wont work....
I will do that tomorrow . :victory: . Probably for Smultron + Coconut too

@Verbato
You alright with it ? Didn't want to derail your thread ...considering I already have my kernel to dabble with

Ok ,but WiFi working on "original kernel" posted on first page?

@Verbato
You alright with it ?

Yes and no. It boots. The "version string" is -Kappa. nonononononono. What happened to my .config?

You're not. I asked you for help.
Also, all the work you do goes back to the community. So it's a win-win-win situation. : )

He refuses to modprobe. Insmod has no "force". So I'm stuck without wifi.

Hang on, I'll try removing the charger, let the battery lose some charge, nap out the battery, put it back in and restart the phone to see if the 100% bug is there.

Well, apart from dropping straight from 97% to 90%, everything seems fine. Well, that and the wrong version-string. : P

I wanted to confirm first whether the source is the issue or the config. The source works so the kinks in config can be ironed out

Then help me find the .config. : )

I used my own .config. (The one I've uploaded earlier) To no avail. I don't even know if it was read. Since, like I said, there was no .config after running makedefmango. Did a find for it. Nothing. No .config. No worries, added my own. Still did not boot.

 

[karandpr]

Then help me find the .config. : )

Not sure if I get your point

I ran basic

make ka_mango_defconfig

make -j2

after packing kernel

make clean && make mrproper

Since I don't change ramdisks much ,all these commands are off shell scripts .

I suppose makedefmango is a shell script for compiling defconfig for mango ?

@Verbato, I just tried out your skeleton ROM and it screwed up my touch. Have you figured out the correct way to fix it? I'm going to try flashing stock .587 and see how that works out...

Fudge! I've really messed up. I found what works on MY phone. Which I found strange, because it works so easily on my phone - which should be the same as yours sans the keyboard. Try downloading all four ROMs from the first page, install wrong one - install smultron after that. And see if it works. Don't just try one, try all of them, wrong then yours, wrong then yours, until it either works or doesn't. That worked for me.

If not, there are some other advices here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2104484

I also guess you could try downloading and running AromaFM, to see if it makes things all right again.

Also, someone mentioned this way of fixing it:
from - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2104484

Fix 5: By Installing Cyanogenmod 9/10: (Credits: chotu222 ; here)
Steps:
1. Download Cyanogenmod 9 or Cyanogenmod 10
2. Put it on your sdcard
3. wipe everything in cwm
4. Flash Cyanogenmod
5. Boot your device until you can see the homescreen
6. Flash any rom you want
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=smultron

If this doesn't work, or if you do find a fix that does, please let me know. And please forgive me for being an a**hole and screwing up your phone

Check the new version
Packed the WiFi Modules in the ramdisk.
It's Helium kernel...except for the Doppler boot logo....and the Doppler developer...and the Kappa source... :cyclops::angel:

Edited the bash-scripts in tools. Now it works. : P Sorry, all my fault. : P

No wonder there was no .config. I have no idea where it put that thing though. Or how it even managed to build without a .config. Got it up and running with -O3 optimizations. So far everything seems to run just fine. I have some 10MBs less RAM free with -O3 rather than -Os though. Oh well. I'd love to get rid of the 3D-camera and get some more RAM free. There is other software out there that does a much better job than Sony does. Wonderful developers, just... I guess they didn't get the time they needed to optimize things. So they had to go for "it just works", rather than, "it works just like we want it to", I guess.

Not exactly...Sony uses Toolchain off Standard Google NDK.. GCC 4.4.3 was latest at that time. Also Google recommended use of Os rather than O2 or O3 ....Also less space means less data to be uploaded ... Sony Firmware has to undergo strict regulations and audit. Which custom firmware dowsn't have to ...
Check what happened with CyanogenMod and OnePlusOne...It was delayed quite a while and couldn't fulfil their commitments ...

Dabble in /arch/arm/mach-msm/board-semc_mogami.c if you want to adjust ram values and camera

Can you check for battery bug ?

 

[job.bousix]

Hi ,
is the kernel based on kappa 1.6 or 1.7 source ? and can you make versions with stock partion layout so then we can use it with other roms ?
thank you very much.

job.

 

[Verbato]

Hi ,
is the kernel based on kappa 1.6 or 1.7 source ?

It's based off of kappa 1.6. I'll make a new one off of the stuff karandpr threw at me. It is also based off of K1.6, but with a few I2C-patches (fixes 100% battery bug).

and can you make versions with stock partion layout so then we can use it with other roms ?

No. I made this kernel to fit this ROM since karandpr didn't have any fresh 180-layout ones laying around. Regular partition layout, btw, is what Kappa has originally. So just download one of his kernels. : )

thank you very much.

job.

Glad to be of at least some help. : )

Will the first page links working fine for LWW?

Hello,

First thanks for your beautiful ROM.. The screenshots looking really impressive.. So just think of try that with my LWW... currently using JB 4.1.2...

After going through your entire thread.. I am bit confused that the links given for Kernal and ROM for LWW(and others) in your first page is working fine now? or do we need any patch work? Waiting for your reply.. already ROM and Kernal downloaded...

Thanks:good:

Everything is working perfectly - now! I just put in a bit of work into this today.

No battery bug here. Added /proc/config.gz.

Added a small batch-script for windows users. Since it is rather a large task to do all that work just to install a single kernel.
If you want to steal it you are welcome to! If you do find a way to make it somehow detect what folder it is in when run as admin, please let me know! %CD% (it thinks it is in C:\Windows\system32) did not work. Nor did anything else I googled or searched for.
For now it has to be put in C:\Kernel_Flasher. Well, you get the idea if you look at Kernel_Flashing_Tool.bat.

 

[Verbato]

wow this so complicated.. surely cannot install this rom.. only use windows 8.. anywhere thanks..

If you are still interested in trying just read the blue text at the bottom of the first post. I made it simple and easy to install for you

One word
~dp0 :angel:

Command shell is executed from C:\Windows\system32 as administrator

This is more elegant solution

@echo off
color 0b
cd "%~dp0"
adb reboot bootloader
PAUSE
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash boot "%~dp0IMG\*.img"
PAUSE
fastboot reboot

There is a logical flaw if there is more than 1 img file in the img folder ...
