[Q] I need to choose a kernel for my E15a - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have recently unlocked my bootloader because I want the benefits of a custom kernel but I don't know how to choose the new one, I'm using GingerDX V020 and I know the best kernel for this ROM is LinuxDX, but I wanna know if this kernel works well in other ROMs in case I desire to use another one, please help me and thanks in advance!

I don't completely understand your post.
Do you want to have another Kernel along with GingerDX or another ROM compatible with the LinuxDX kernel?

U can try by your self..
it same like Custom room (some people like this and other people like that)
Just try one by one
what I know is:-
-Alfs kernel
with nice FXP boot logo (replacing SE white logo)
-LinuxDX
using GingerDX orrange logo (replacing SE white logo)
no OC but you can feel it scrool very smooth
-nAa kernel
using very nice logo (replacing SE white logo)
you can OC to 829
u can simply flash onother one if u feel have to do..

Hi =D

Hmm I tried to understand this but I cant.hehe
Alf will be releasing special kernel for cypress user to work with ics as per defcon.
I wasnt making a rom or anything i just needed a tested if the Cypress works!
Nice work...keep it up...i have tested your ROM
Kernel E15_nAa-06b_2.6.29.6-nAa-06b cypress not working
Kernel E15_nAa-06_2.6.29.6-nAa-06 cypress not working
Kernel X8_03-rc1_Alfs cypress still not working
Kernel X8_04.7-with_chargemon_Alfs cypress still not working

Kernel X8_update5_X8_update5 cypress still not working
Kernel x8_CM71 cypress still not working
BUT using stock Kernel i can touch and play with white circle same like visualkei post..
sorry for my bad english : (
I use Cypress and the touch isnt working. I guess you neeed to find the correct driver and make it function with the ROM itself. I can wait for a year it doesnt matter
well then whose rom is it....

Can all the testing take place on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363903&page=1 Thank you all. I makes it easier to identify fixes what work, and which ones don't.
Cypress user fix this rom using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20035688&postcount=1191 and flash this rom using recovery + flash back your kernel to stock kernel.. its working for cypress..

nAa kernel issue

Sometimes when the screen is off and i would like to turn on, and i press the middle button, but the screen doesn't appears. I need to pick out the battery, and put it back.
Sometimes when i rebooting, my phone is freeze, the screen is black, and don't happen anything. Again i need to pick out the battery and put it back.
Why?
I used MiniCM 2.1.6, GingerXperiaRay v003 and i had this problem with these roms. I think this is kernel problem.
Thanks for your answer and sorry for my bad english.
The best rom for me is gingerdx v22+alfs kernel v6.Also i haved this rom and i have the same problem and i flashed gingerdx v22 and didn't have of none problems.Sorry for my bad englisch.I am Poland.
trie to restore your x8 back to stock with seus than flash again nAa and your favorite rom.

I believe MiniCM7 2.1.9 is out, alongside nAa 11 kernel. The ROM has been thoroughly used by the community and most issues thrashed out. That's asides being a vast improvement over MiniCM7 2.1.6
I suggest you upgrade.

[Q] Kernel

Hi there. For first sorry for my english, 'cause it sucks.. I have installed GingedDX on my Xperia x8 and I have a question about kernel. Do I can install custom kernel? Or do I need it? If yes, what is the best kernel in your opinion? Thanks for reply.
GingerDX supports 3 kernels: SE stock, LinuxDX and Alfs for GingerDX. 1st and 2nd won't allow You to OC Your CPU. Only Alfs has this feature. On the other hand - if You're not OC fan, than You should try LinuxDX, cause it was created by doixanh [He creates GingerDX as well].
But all of Your doubts may go away if U won't be able to unlock Your bootloader. If this happen - You will be able to use only stock SE kernel
Ok, my phone can have custom kernel. But is it worth it? I think that Alfs for GingerDX + GingerDX should work great. I want OC a bit my phone's processor, because my phone lags very often.. Should it work better than now?
I tried a combination of stock kernel + GingerDX and Alfs + GingerDx. For me the 2nd one gave a boost to my x8, so in Your case it would be probably the same
Stock kernel + GingerDX and Alfs + GingerDx? You mean 2 kernels? And sorry I can't understand this: For me the 2nd one gave a boost to my x8.
My english is weak, sorry Did you mean "jeden z dwóch"?
I tried both combinations - GingerDx + stock kernel, then I flashed ALFS and was using it with GingerDX
Polish: Próbowałem obu kombinacji - GingerDx + stock oraz ALFS + GingerDX. Jak dla mnie drugie połączenie przyspiesza działanie telefonu
Ah, okay, now I understand Okay, thanks then. I will try
@EDIT
My phone is dead now :/ I have unlocked bootloader, I've got message that everything is done. Reboot and phone doesn't work.. Crap :/
dude.. English doesnt Suck.. probably your grammer might . And there are custom kernels like Alfs and nAa, which you can install at your own risk.. Search the forums for further info...

You can't overlock your CPU on stock? So how am I doing it then?
Sent from my XPERIA X8 using xda premium
On ALFS kernel this feature is built-in. On LinuxDX or stock U have to use modules or other stuff.
linuxDx neither with modules..only stock kernel with modules and alfs with built in, you can overclock..flash alfs if you like or dislike oc..if you don't like you don't need to use the oc..so, the best kernel for gingerDx is ALFS KERNEL
sorry my bad english
stock kernel can oc too, use module.

Alfs kernel or nAa kernel are pretty good. GingerDx is my favourite ROM.
Well your bootloader is unlocked so either of the kernels have CWM recovery installed (xRecovery is pretty much obsolete). "craking bootloader" is legal to do this. An advantage of having Android. Most phones come these days with there bootloaders unlocked.

it mean :
- Download the kernel .ftf file and move it to Flashtool\firmwares so that Flashtool can pick it up
- Flash the kernel via Flashtool (turn off phone, press back button, connect your usb phone cable to computer, see led in your phone blink green, then release back button. flashing should be running.. wait until finished..
- unplug your usb phone cable
- turn on your phone.

[Q] Help with GingerDX v29

Hello there, i have a problem with gingerDx v29, im using v28 atm with alfs v09a, so far so good, but when i instal v29 i get a com.android.phone error as soon as i put the ping and then the error keeps looping. i tryed re-instal, wipe data, (wipe everything that i could with CMW actualy) but it still doesnt work, i read the forum in order to find an answer but didnt find it with this SO, (also tryed a solution that seams to work in others so like fix permisions). How do i solve this?
I really hate to bother but its been 5 days and i can make it work.
Thanks in advance!

alfs v9a
im having a little screen moving problem, i think its the kernel alfs v9a, i'll try v8 and let you know
Edit; Alfs v8a solves the problem
Hey guys i'm having the same problem with the screen moving bug, it moves to the right a little bit. I tried alfs v8 and it solved the problem but I still don't think it's the best answer since the combo gdx v29 and alfs v8 has A LOT of battery drain on 3g and sync on (in 8 hours it drains 90 percent of the battery just in standby).
Is there any other thing I can do to fix this screen problem? If not i'll just go back to stock kernel
Afaik alfsv9 has that bug. Try oc'ing above 690 and use on demand.

Hey thanks for answering, I'm on demand right now, and the cpu is set to 122 mhz min and 691 mhz max (basically I didn't change anything). Any other ideas?
Pretty weird bug I hope there's a good fix for this, cos alfs v9+ is the kernel with the best performance I've tested so far.
