to revert you will need to reflash original firmware or freexperia kernel, ...
I am not responsable of any damage that you or you phone will suffer by using this rom !!!

you are awesome！！！！
nice work!
with this, i may let the MIUI team to made real miui for us!
thanks and help solve the problem!

help！！！！！！

why i flashed but just reboot on FXP logo？

 

[bheremans]

Did you flash the kernel and the rom ? The rom wil noot boot without the provided kernel in the boot.img. The provided kernel will not boot freexperia cm7.
Also don't forget to reset to defaults (clear data / clear cache / clear dalvik cache)

 

[xutienan9520]

so..... the kernel is provider in CM7 from FXP?

 

[bheremans]

The kernel I provided it build from the freexperia git. But built with other options to match the prelink map for the rom.
I provided a kernel witch is built for normal prelink map.

Standard freexperia kernel is built to use 2G prelink map.

 

[xutienan9520]

so....there is no boot.img in this miui, and is the kernel you said is the same kernel in package of FXP041 CM7(with gapps)? or the boot.img in FXP CM7 ROm? or the boot.img from CM7 in CM website.....

maybe you can just put the kernel on, and the clear instructor

thanks

 

[bheremans]

My mistake, I uploaded the wrong zip file.
Uploaded new zipfile with boot.img and rom. If you already have flashed the previous zip file with cmrecovery, then you just have to flash the boot.img with fastboot now.

 

[xutienan9520]

thank you！
i will flash the whole thing again, to have the best state!

 

[XperiaPlayer]

Hi,

The zip has been deleted from hotfile?

[bheremans]

Added some screenshots

 

[punkmonkey1984]

Would this work on the Xperia Arc? because of of the different screen size ?

Also great progress on this, i do like Miui so im happy to see someone with the know how getting this off the ground.

 

[XperiaPlayer]

Punk, it wouldn't work on the Xperia Arc unless someone ported it like I am doing for the Xperia Play. You have to recompile the Cyanogen Mod kernel with some specific config changes, then combine that with the MIUI.US version for the Desire S and then copy over some files.etc to get a UPDATE.zip. You then flash the kernel and that and hope for the best. If I can get it to work on the Xperia Play, bheremans can get it work on the Xperia Neo, then it is only a matter of time before someone will port it to the Arc.

Note that camera, data.etc probably wont work yet unless we get some proper developers in here .

See my thread in the Xperia Play section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295511

 

[DooMLoRD]

Problems I still have :

- gsm data connection
- camera (proprietary lib, prelinked with wrong prelink map ...)
- flash light
- taking screenshots

hi i think i know how to resolve the FlashLight issue refer to this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18247100#post18247100
u will basically need to change ramdisk to give correct permissions to flashlight sysfs interface

also u might want to contact luke1215 as he is currently making MiUI for X10

I know i was not very optimistic about it running on the Arc due to the facts you stated above, but in general the whole new Xperia line is heading in the right direction, which is good.
Im only know just starting to get my head around .xml files, id love to be able to test and build stuff, but i dont think i have the knowledge at the moment to contribute to anything useful.

Time to do some research i guess lol.

 

[xutienan9520]

At last i flashed it!!!!!!!
quite nice, i can use the theme from miui.
i post a thread to miui in China, so maybe we can get the real miui in few months

Hi bro,
You have done a great job to Xperia family.I have working on it for few days porting miui to Xperia arc but I have no idea about the kernel.Since the fxp's cm kernel is not suitble to miui so can you tell me how to tweak the kernel.
I have linux environment and I have got the source code from cm.Just tell me how to tweak the kernel and I will be appreciate.
Thx
Best regards
Jason.


P.S You mean tweak this option

CONFIG_VMSPLIT_3G=y

from kernel/arch/arm/configs/xxx_defconfig
arch/arm/mach-msm/include/mach/vmalloc.h
before building the kernel?
Can you tell me some detils about your change to the fxp's kernel?
I don't know how to change the prelink map from 2G/2G to 3G/1G
Thx again!

Hi Doomlord,

I know pretty good where the problem with the data and camera is.
kernel and rom libs are compiled with normal prelink map.
But some libs are precompiled and are linked with 2G prelinkmap.

For example is I use the commando isPrelinked (in cm tools), you will see :

libmmgsdilib.so: not prelinked
libmmipl.so: not prelinked
libmmjpeg.so: not prelinked
libmm-omxcore.so: 0xa4000000
libm.so: 0xafb00000

libm.so is prelinked at : 0xafb00000

but the preopritary files you have to use for example

libril.so: 0x6e600000

prelink-linux-arm-2G.map

prelink-linux-arm.map

MIUI libs : normal prelink map
proprietary libs : 2G prelink map

Mixem them causes preblems the system expexts libril.so at 0xAE600000
Same problem for camera libs

We can't compile MIUI from source and we can't compile some SE libs from source (for now)

but if we could free up the 0x6E600000 and shift things like in the commit you pointed out in the xperia play topic things could work out maybe.

Although I thought I had data runing on standard cm7 rom compiled with normal prelink map. So maybe I forgot to replcace some files in MIUI rom and we can get data working without kernel changes..

I am a java developper and system admin so I can read code and change some stuff and compile, but I am certainly no kernel developper :-(

Just posting all this stuff so others can understand the problems and maybe help

JasonStein, yes, also CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET :

I din't change anything to the kernel souce, only the config options !!

Xperia Arc / ray / Neo all pretty much the same, the have same cpy, gpu, resolution, ...

http://www.xperiablog.net/comparison/

the all use the same kernel source as far I know, maybe some small config options in fxp_xxxxx_debconfig. I should be able to compile a kernel and rom pretty easy. Maybe I will try to do it later today.
