Even if you tell us that your problem is not related to your custom kernel /mod / magic => WE DON'T CARE!
Your mod => your problem!

A question Herr Walter:

Any chance that the kernel would work on other ROM, such as AOKP?
And, if yes, can this be made into a flashable zip?

Thank you for your input.

Good to see this finally coming to the V. And no the kernel is not separable from the ROM so the kernel cannot be flashed onto another KK ROM.

As for reboots, there should be none - as with the T the new kernel should fix all instability issues.

Kernel source can work for all roms but you need to update a lot of proporitary files.

Any chances you could provide a flashable zip that includes the kernel and those proprietary files you mentioned?
I'd be willing to give this a shot.

Tested this for a couple of hours.
Except the wifi/gps/camera bugs everything else seems to work fine with ART on.
The Omni switch is a really nice feature

It's not as simple as a quick kernel and props flash - the system depends on the kernel that is being compiled alongside - the entire ROM needs to be compiled along with the kernel or you'll get breakage.

 

[doenen]

this sounds promising...

is there anymore work planned on this rom? i would love to have omnirom...or ANY real custom ROM

 

[walter79]

I switched to kernel source from sony. Maybe i can compile new rom later. Camera is fixed some firmeware file were missing. Still problems with Wlan and GPS

 

[walter79]

I am back to omni kernel.

Wifi works now. http://d-h.st/XVF


Use wifi firmware from kernel / mint (xperia t)

check /system/etc/firmware/wlan and replace files with files from Xperia T omni.


Edit:

Recovery fixed: use this in bootrec-device

export BOOTREC_EVENT_NODE="/dev/input/event7 c 13 72"
export BOOTREC_EVENT="/dev/input/event7"

Next Camera and GPS.

 

[walter79]

both camera fixed.

next step fix gps.

edit:

gps works partial now. It did not work if you have enabled wifi

 

[WhiteNeo]

both camera fixed.

next step fix gps.

You're awesome bro
This sounds like the rom is now ready for daily usage, isn't it? :good:

By the way, are the bsod issues gone with the new kernel source? Have you been able to test this over some time?

BSOD's are now as much as you should have on a stock rom, cause it is the same kernel. So rarely Should be really stable like I have on my Xperia T!

 

[walter79]

I have to update and test my source now. If everthing works well i will build a new test rom. Files from 9.2.A.1.210 official

I m back to omnirom kernel.

Kernel works well.
