About FXP Kernel 030 and the Official CyanogenMod!!! - XPERIA X8 General

Hello everyone! I just want to write some words about the new project from FreeXperia Team!!! The kernel+official CyanogenMod ROM are really pretty well made! But there are some bugs and I know that in the near feauture there won't be such! What i am talking about is:
1. The 3g/WiFi connection is ok! (But for 15-20 minutes MAX)
2. The sound in call is toooooo low (i nearly can't hear anything)
Those are the main goals that are gonna be removed (I think)
And those which everyone of us used to use on their ROM's is missing in this official release:
1. Flip to mute (or what is called)
2. Back button ends call
3. Status bar transperancy
I think that those things will be done in the future releases!!!
Anyway thanks for the perfect work (FXP)!!! Getting forward for some new and cool releases!!!

These features are made by doixanh for FroyoBread/GingerDX. Thats why they aren't in official CM7. If you need them just use FroyoBread/GingerDX. If you want to use theme with transparent statusbar you can make patch for it

but how to make that patch can you post a link for that

You can find more info in this threads:

old FXP Kernel 028 doesn't have those bugs so far IMHO FXP 28 is really stable for daily use

Official CM7 is slow! CM7 - 39 FPS GingerDX - 49 FPS It's a big difference!

Flip to mute and back button to end call would indeed be nice since it always takes some time for the phone to reactivate screen

This some of screenshot of various FXP and CM7.1 ROM test result

It's slow you should be able to get 80fps with no problems! Oh btw it's neocore fps not fps2d

Is waitng for a more stable kernal.. Currently in Stock.. cz i got the 3G issue.

I know what it looks like but there will be people who dont and i guarantee no screens will mean not as many people download it and try it.
Its nice to see what you are downloading.
I will try this now.
I am agog if data will drop or not
Ganna tell you in the next days
€dit:
OK gonna removing this after testing 30 minutes
2x Backscreen
2x cant install app that i need
ok now waiting for better one
if im gonna change kernel to hastarin 7.7, mobile data gonna still working?
thank you
wifi tether?
gave it a test but it doesnt seem to work just kept giving me a force close error
restarted it and still nothing other than that works great i need a good build w/o sense =]
My experience with this build so far negative. Robotic voice and Black Screen in just 3 min of use. (stock 3.14 WM with stock 2.15 radio) After MDJ's revolution V2.3 with r7.7 this one looks like it need some work on stability. I was checking it because of 5mA promise. Disappointed a bit.

Because that program need root =)
only thing i've ran into so far is not being able to download paid/protected apps from the market
Wow!! So many negative comments lol.
Anyway, download and installed last nite and so far i'm quite impressed with the data. Usually on all builds I've flashed, data is guaranteed to drop after couple of hours of installing, but since yesterday its been cool.
Only problem so far is that when it wakes up from sleep, I can see the screen, but then screen goes blank immediately for few seconds.Have to keep trying to wake it up.
But no thanks, good build.
Works good so far. Thx!
If the screen goes black put it under a bright lightbulb and then turn off auto brightness, how us 3g for real? Anybody? I'm so wanna test this if 3g is stable!

Yesterday I had 0 posts too. I made 10 posts fastly, just comment stuff like that bravia engine placebo and things like that.
Ontopic: some of those sugestions like autobrightness and wifi switching on automatically are just bugs, DZO will fix them.
wish list for huawei u8800 aka x5
My sugestions for Aurora ICS from dzo are:
- adding the x5 settings like the one in miui rom(for we can set the cpu governor and frequency);
- correct model and manufacturer;
- add file explorer like the one in miui (for we dont have to download from the market);
- choose music for ringtones without addons.
The rest is excellent i guess.
Note: The databe io test in antutu is very low.
I went back for miui 2.2.17 until this will be resolved or cm9 ou some miui ics comes up.
Best Regards.
thanks for your reply. I will arrange the list and post dzo's page in a few days.
I wonder what the difference between 5.0.2.7 and 5.0.2.6.
When I put the 5.0.2.7, the pc recognizes the mobile phone as U8800PRO.
It's a very strange thing, or my lack of knowledge.
Can someone explain.
But apart from this, it works normally, only a few freezes.

Lots of good ideas. I would like to post my thoughts in the development thread, but I don't have enough posts to do it. So I do it here instead. I have a few issues.
1. something is strange with wifi/data. when trying to download from market, it's terribly slow. when on data it takes forever before downloading starts. when on wifi it downloads really slow. like 20kb/s on a 5 mbit connection. also when connecting to wifi, it disconnected and connected 5 times before the connection stayed up.
2. there is no light on the touch buttons (back menu home search).
3. even though I have turned the volume all the way down for ring/alert, it's still too loud.
4. battey drains fast. much faster than miui 2.1.20 (currently set to 368/1.400/ondemand/noop)

First of all I really appreciate all the hard work that DZO provides on our phones. He is providing us more support than Huawei . I am having exact same problems with you and would agree with the others in this topic. Since I believe in DZO, I am not really worrying though.

Viber have released an update that now works with ICS and also now works on Aurora

Aurora ICS 4.03 port issues list.

Firstly, a big thanks to fellow kiwi developer "dzo" for this great port!
Official dev thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1492957
I'm unable to post in the dev section until I have 10 posts, so I thought I would start an issues thread here for people who also haven't made 10 posts yet.
***IF YOU DO HAVE AN ISSUE YOU WOULD LIKE TO POST ABOUT, IT MAY BE HELPFUL TO INCLUDE KERNEL AND ROM DETAILS***
e.g. Official 2.3.5 B522 as base, Aurora ICS version 1.6, used 5.5.0.4 Recovery
CURRENT TESTING VERSION - 1.8
Issues:
-Sound from the speaker is scratchy and distorted, everytime the phone emits sounds - especially noticeable in notifications.
-The volume from the speaker is too loud on the lowest volume setting.
-Product name/model needs to be changed from 'msm7630_surf' to 'Huawei u8800' in build.prop
-SD card sometimes doesn't mount (requires restart to mount)
-No panorama mode in camera. ---stock camera app
-Gallery app crashes when selecting Edit (random, sometimes the photo editor works, sometimes crashes).
-Movie Studio crashes when adding in/out transitions.
-Camera app crashes when selecting any "face effect" in video mode. ---stock camera app
Notes:
I used the B522 official Huawei 2.3.5 as base, and then loaded version 1.6 over top of that using Recovery 5.5.0.4.
Archived Issues:
-The lights on the backlit keys don't work all the time, even when it's dark. [It appears this is by design. Use auto-brightness for the keys to light automatically.]
-Mobile Networks --> Network Operators is unable to search for networks (both automatically and manually). It says "Error While Searching for Networks". [Seems to have been fixed with 1.8]
-UI is generally quite laggy across the whole system [Seems a lot better with 1.8]
-It probably needs a "file explorer app" installed as stock so you don't have to manually transfer one via USB. [ES File Explorer added in version 1.8]
-Red border appears momentarily on occasion (usually when a sound is playing - also happens when unlock pin code is being entered) [Hasn't happened with version 1.8]
-Playback of music tracks does not automatically go to next track after previous track is finished. ---beyond pod; stock music player [Fixed in version 1.8]
Version 1.6?
some people are complaining about slow Internet connection.. do you note that issue?

I've only just loaded ICS on during the last few hours, so haven't had time to thoroughly test internet/browser. Will do eventually though.
The Ookla Speedtest app seemed to have good speeds. Although the upload speed seemed a little "out". It was up around the 1.7-1.8Mbps mark, when I know my upload speed is capped at 1.0Mbps.
Also, the mini graphs that show the upload and download speeds underneath the main "meter" was showing a weird streaky white block instead of the usual line graph. I wonder if others could test this too and report back.
I can add "slow internet" to the OP issue list if you like?
Can you explain it a little more for clarity?
Cheers.
i cant use any camera app, but stock one works just fine
Ookla Speedtest app gives me 100kbit/s down on a 2mbit/s internet connection.
When I press at the wifi it shows link speed 6Mbps.
Edit: speed ok after changing router
Great idea, I too have some issues I'd like to report but I'm unable due to the 10 posts limitations. Hopefully someone w/ access will bring this link to dzo's attention.
So far, the ones I think weren't reported yet:
No panorama mode in camera;
Gallery app crashes when selecting Edit (random, sometimes the photo editor works, sometimes crashes);
Movie Studio crashes when adding in/out transitions;
Camera app crashes when selecting any "face effect" in video mode;
Some background noise everytime the phone emits sounds - especially noticeable in notifications;
That seems to be it, will add more as I find them.

It hasn't yet appeared on SourceFroge yet, but will testing it as soon as it's up to see if any of these issues have been addressed.
Indeed, dzo is a legend!!
Also, he probably does sleep, it's just that he sleeps when most of the rest of the world is awake... being that he is from New Zealand. ;-)

Nope, unfortunately not for me yet.
SourceForge is being a bit buggy for some people at the moment (including me). Others on the main Aurora thread have said that 1.7 has appeared on SourceForge for them, but for others it hasn't yet.
Waiting... waiting.... ;-)
EDIT: It appeared for me momentarily on SourceForge, but when I went to click to download it said the file was unavailable to download. dzo has just uploaded it to Google Code, so downloading now.
Sourceforge was with a strange behavior, but now seems to be fine.
Try now, I'm sure now you can
1.8 is out.
I actually went back to stock B522 for the moment, as I just found the 1.7 UI too laggy, but I might load 1.8 on now.
OK, installed 1.8 yesterday and I don't know if it is the ROM, or if I did something different to install it, but it appears to be running a lot smoother UI wise.
Sound from the speaker is still terrible though. It sounds to me like it could be a sampling rate incompatibility.

It's really weird because sound is only distorted when played through that back-speaker.
Ringtones are awfull, full of cracks and distortion... and always with hiss background noise.
This is a common problem on all those .35 custom rom's
hey guys,
ive a question about porting, im using a u9000 variant, similar hardware and on the u9000 forum w have devs that successfully port u8800 roms.. my question is, since u8800 roms are portable, may i know what is required for u guys before flashing to aurora ics? ie what kernel were u on before the flash? thanks for the help!

i have 2.3.5 firmware with stock 2.6.35.7 kernel. however i think due to difference in device and the port, it may not be possible.
mine is u9000 with MSM8225 chipset 2.3.5 firmware n .6.35.7 kernel
aurora is built for u8800 with MSM7230 chipset, similar firmware and kernel
however u8860, the source that aurora used, is with MSM8255 chipset, not sure about firmware and kernel.
read somewhere that ports are device specific, so to get it working on u9000, id have to port from aurora, and fix whatever that doesnt work.. correct me if i am wrong.. dev/porters please advise!
thanks!

[ICS][ALPHA] CM9 with (somewhat) working camera for Milestone 2

New version at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1528084
Hi,
First of all, sorry for posting this in general forum, but as you can see this is my first post...
This is a snapshot of my work on bringing camera support to Tezet's Milestone2 ICS port.
This build is not intended for daily use. The camera crashes when changing mode to video or panorama, and when exiting Camera app (though this is not visible ). But preview is working (as far as I know this is better than Defy), and I took ~20 photos in a row without problems.
Regarding the build itself:
- it's based on CM9 snapshot from Feb 25
- there's a bug with contacts showing as "Unknown" in the dialer (while you dial). As far as I know it is the same on latest Defy builds, so I assume this is an upstream bug from CM9
- it may contain more (or less) bugs from Tezet's builds. It's simply different, though I use builds from my branch since early January on daily basis
- the fix for SIM lock pin is not included
- it should be possible to load this without factory reset on top of Tezet's builds and the other way around, though the last time I've tried this was two weeks ago...
- there's no need to wipe dalvik cache - the update script does this
The work is based on Atrix ICS camera support, with added overlay emulation.
What is working:
- live preview
- zooming
- flash
- focus
- exposure compensation etc
- taking photos
- ... probably not much more
What is not working:
- panorama shots
- video recording
- a lot more
Would anyone be brave enough to check it?
I highly recommend to do a nandroid backup before trying it.
Latest version for phones with European GB kernel:
http://cm9-milestone2.googlecode.com/files/CM9-20120227-NIGHTLY-milestone2-eu.zip
Latest version for all other phones:
http://cm9-milestone2.googlecode.com/files/CM9-20120227-NIGHTLY-milestone2-ch.zip
If your phone is stuck on red Moto logo, it means you have chosen a wrong version and you need to recover your phone from the SBF file.
Repository:
repo init -u git://github.com/rondoval/android.git -b ics
All the credits go to:
- Tezet, for the Milestone2 port
- tpruvot, Quarx2k, for their tremendous efforts on Defy support (and thus Milestone2)
- whole Atrix-Dev-Team, Raviprasad V Mummidi, zivan56 for their tremendous work on the camera driver
Guess I missed this thread because it is in General Not your fault though.
I will test it as soon as I got some spare time. Sounds promising.
Thanks a lot for your efforts!!
What about bluetooth and wi-fi tethering? Are they working? I'm asking since they are working on Defy's GB kernel build.
And it would be better if some MOD can move this to DEV section.
Can we wait with that moving till I reach 10 posts?
I have merged some tethering code from Defy. Havent tested it though. I think I would have to use Defy's wifi driver, not CM9 default for that to work.
Bluetooth is not here.
sounds good !!
hmm.. so that you can respond to ppl. That makes sense.
I have installed it. It works fine. The camera starts and works as indicated.
One problem that everyone is going to notice first up is that if you make an outgoing call to a contact, the dialer shows unknown and all outgoing calls accumulate under 'unknown'.
And yes, there is no bluetooth.
Regarding the dialer: that's what I wrote about in the first post... I think it's the same on Defy right now.
Okay. I don't know about Defy but it is working on Tezet's ROM.
BTW, thanks again for porting the Atrix camera fix to MS2.
It's working on Tezet's build, but it's a month older. It was working on mine before I polled CM9 changes last saturday. I'll look into this.

You are the savior of our milestone 2. Now we have two devs rondoval and tezet -- greatest honor to both of you

Will be hoping that the wrinkles can be ironed out and we can have a better functioning CM9. And we may soon come out of ALPHA stage and move to BETA.
I noticed that there is no file manager in your build.
tested. camera working fine with preview and taking photo.
@sahilarora911:yep, there is no file manager...
This is really nice!
Did someone test mobile hotspot/wifi tether? if not would someone? ^^

For unknown bug go to dialer setting and click show numbers or something like that already posted on defy page......
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App and don't forget to say thanks
Fist of all, would like to thank you for your great work.
Camera does work indeed...that's a small step for a man and giant leap for MS2
BTW is it just me or noone else is bothered this not working Caps Lock on HW keyboard?
Thanks again.

Thanks, the way my call log looks was starting to annoy me Works here too, though I don't get why such a change.
I removed the file manager (and Torch I think?). The file manager is not included in official CM9 branch, besides I don't like it anyway

CM7 alpha 8 Review - Galaxy 3

Hey guys! this is my first post on XDA and i have been using kyriloos v9.5 since pretty much tym and i thought i should give a try to something new!! i was really excited about Tom3q's FIMG 3DSE for the Galaxy 3! so i put CM7 alpha 8!
Advantages:
> Customizable Interface!(a major asset!!)
>Smooth Interface
>Nice music widget
>cool looking UI
>Performance tweaks
>A better benchmark(compared to stock) without any additional apps and without updating tweks (comes to 1177)
>camera is fine
>bluetooth works
>cwm works like charm
>1 ghz and stable
>no automatic switching off yet
>apps got to sd
>have 168 mb free internal memory when installed on partition
>i like the msging interface
now these are the good things but believe me i was more happy with Kyrillos rom v9.5
disadvantages:
>no video recording
>can notice pixels at areas where i never saw before
>some kinda glitches with the google apps that worked fine earlier
>no improvement in graphics even with FIMG 3DSE
>Angry Birds space has even more white patches than it had before
>i had many more options in Kyrillos when i keep the power button pressed
>and will update more soon
Stock Antutu Benchmark : 938
Kyrillos Antutu Benchmark : 1135
CM7 Antutu Benchmark : 1137
my advice : dont install cm7 now! wait for all the bugs to get cleared!! im sure cm7 can do much better!!

u can easily check the FPS at quadrant test videos with opeifmg and without! IF u can't tell the difference then wth! QQ

press the buttons... submenus exists...
imo: it's an alpha version! It has MANY MANY mopre configuration since u have the "CyanogenMod Settings" and all the apps that support CM only(!) And basically with a few fixes (init.d script of kyrillos etc...) Cm7 is a BEAST compared to froyo!
Thank you for your response

i know that but it still misses the data network mode for which i need to go all over to the settings menu and do it!! i found it more comfortable in kyrillos!!

i never said that cm7 does not have these!! my point is that it would be better to install it after the final version releases!! cm7 works much more better on phones like galaxy ace!! i would love to run an absolutely awesome final version of cm7 on my phone!! but until then im for kyrillos!! no offence!!!
Data network mode
i know that but it still misses the data network mode for which i need to go all over to the settings menu and do it!! i found it more comfortable in kyrillos!!
In CM7, you can get the data network mode in the notification bar itself or the power control widget. Go to CM Settings > Interface > Notification power widget > Widget buttons > Here you can choose whatever you want (Mobile data, in your case).
In fact this is better because you don't need to use your hard keys.
Thanks
