Kernel for 800x CDMA ? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guy i really hate to be "that guy" but ive really have been all over this forum for the last 2 weeks looking for a solid Kernel for the R800x and the only one i can find that works 100% is this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1605631
problem is i feel really cramped on the Data partition. is there anything like this Kernel that has the bigger 600mb+ data partition?
everything else ive tried either just flat out wont boot, has broken WiFi or some other issue. and due to most of the links being broken on this forum its very hard to track down any of the hard work thats been put into this little wonder.
any help with links to actual downloads would be greatly appreciated!
im by no means a flashaholic so i dont need recovery baked in or any thing crazy. i just need OC with large data Partition & working Wifi. :fingers-crossed:

Sadly your best option for kernel is Doomkernel released April of 2012. I don't believe lupus ever made a working cdma kernel. I may be incorrect. Before switching to a GSM play. I was on the R800x. Sadly your options are limited. 90%+ of the devs here used GSM.
I would look for doomkernel for cdma and then perhaps a search for lupus cdma kernel. If I were at my computer I'd do a quick sear h and post results here or send you my doomlernel and wifi modules to you in a link. As I kept all my cdma files.
If you want them let me know and later today I will post a link here for both.

really do appreciate the links, but been to all those places before with not much success. mostly dead links in the OP. i did find a few members posted links near the end of the threads before they get "locked" to mediafire etc but even some of those are dead too or have the Kernel but not the WiFi modules...
my prob with all the different DoomKernals ive tried is they have all been the smaller partition size. also boot times seem to be randomly very long for some reason. like some times more than 3-4 min just in the post screen before even loading the OS. (from what ive been able to get my hands on anyway)
however if you do have files of a nice Doomkernel with the larger data partition size with working Wifi modules id be your best friend! :highfive:

Okay, sorry for the wait. This link contains a zip that has both the last release kernel and wifi modules in a zip format. Just uncompress the zip and copy the wifi modules to your sdcard, then use fastboot to flash the Doomkernel CDMA kernel to your CDMA PLAY, afterwards enter recovery and flash the wifi modules so you can use your wifi.
This link will always be here, I wll never again remove it. let me know how it goes.

those totally worked. wifi and all!
sadly tho its a kernel with the smaller data partition (not 600mb+) so with both being OCed @ 1.6ghz, i don't really see much of a reason to use it over the Kernel i linked in the OP. the one in the OP seems to have better WiFi performance (if that makes sense?), doesn't require any extra modules to flash and it boots in a few seconds vs the Doom Kernel taking 30-90sec randomly to post before it even hands over to the OS.
i have the files saved now just in case and even tho i dont plan to use them much i really do appreciate you taking the time to upload them for me.
i did get Turbo Kernel working (including wifi) with Slimbean but i cant seem to get Turbo Kernel to have working Wifi with GB ROMs. i really love Turbo kernel. something about it seems so FAST on GB ROMs. but i cant live on 3g in my area and it seems Emus run at about 50-75% of the FPS on JB ROMs.....
i know, i know.... FWP right? lol
thanks again for you help.

Your welcome. Yeah unfortunately when DoomLord made this kernel no devs had figured out the larger system partition yet, or it wasnt available at that time. So yes DK only has the 600mb limit and you do have to manually flash the wifi modules where later kernels its done automatically on boot.
You can use Lupus Kernel but the wifi only works on Statis IP, instead of DHCP. Good luck. And if you got other questions your welcome to contact me I will do what I can.

[Q]Do these custom ROMs affect the global capabilities of the phone?

I'm traveling to Italy tomorrow and just want to make sure that by having rooted and flashed an ASOP ROM on it has not affected its ability to connect to the cell network out there. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
It will depending on the rom you use. I have been using Newt's rom's primarily and i know he has gotten both GSM and CDMA to work on some of his newer versions, you will have to check the changelog to see which ones work though,
Newts newest 3D 2.03 has the world phone capibilities..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1231283
But i cant speak for ASOP, you might want to check the log to see if it is listed as working or not.
I haven't tested Global Mode myself but people are reporting SkyRaider Zeus supports it.
I can give a big thumbs-up to the ROM as a whole. I have been running it for a few weeks and haven't hit a snag yet.

Oh Oh, I appreciate the feedback but is not at all what I was hoping for lol...I just posted this question on the ROMs thread but its too late to do anything about it if it does not have it enabled, $#|T!!!! For argument sake I posted it was I traveling but when in reality its a co-worker(a manager) who is traveling to Europe and is he's gonna be pissed if he steps off that plane and has no service...I'll just try and blame it on the network out there i guess if worse comes to worse lol...thanks again!
Best to go with SkyRaider Zeus. Based off the stock shipped ROM, not a port.
Which Aosp rom do you have on your friends phone?
I've read in various places that CM 7 will work globally. Not sure about any of the others though.

i live abroad and the stock firmware works fine with local GSM carriers
you can just flash rmk Rooted rom which is the original firmware after removing bloatware, works exactly like stock ( no bugs at all )
and if needed he added a flashable zip including all removed app.
if you like sense 3 , in the Forum there a sense 3 Patch . i tested that rom myself with the Patch and its fine
there is many sense 3 Roms that Support Global Mode also. but in my opinion that rmk Rom is the safest ( no bugs at all )
## phone codes
+1 for rmk's stock ROM.
Make sure that the ROM you use will allow access to the ## phone codes.
Or at least put a stock based cleaned ROM on the phone and set it up and do a nandroid of it so if he needs to access those codes, he will have a workaround.
I found that the AOSP ROMs don't allow access to those codes.
So if you need to manually change any data settings you have to use a sense based ROM to make those changes, then flash back to the ROM you want.
The data settings should stay between flashes but I found that even with full wipe and flashing the ROM, then the nandroid, I still got a boatload of FCs.
Good luck ....
Yep, just depends on which ROM you download. Some do, some don't.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

[Q] Rhod100 FRX 7.1 CAMERA WORKING BUT....

Hi everybody
I post there because I'm not allowed to do so in "Xdandroid dev" section
Today, brinka123 posted a patch for Rhod100 camera's issue
Good new, the camera now works (excepted for exposure wich is not recalculated when zooming)
Bad new: Wifi no longer works...
Thanks to all devs my TP2 is near to have a new life...
I had a similar problem with my rhod300, I couldn't get wifi to work either, so I tryed deleting my data.img and after that it worked again.
HOWEVER, deleting your data.img will delete all of your phones settings/customizations. So I would advise to simply rename your data.img to something else and just letting the system create a new one on the next boot to android just in case it doesn't work.
Steps:
1. Boot into windows and connect to a computer
2. View the files on your phone and find the data.img and delete it.
3. Reboot into android and see if it works.
Hope this helps!

I think the problem is due to the use of an "old" kernell in wich Wifi was not fixed.
I saw on another forum that "Sir Brinka" attacked the problem only one month ago, starting from nothing!!!(well not exactly, but you see what I mean...)
Xdandroid devs are trying to reach him and submit his patch for a very next release.

Then.... update your kernell? Or am i misunderstanding?
Yes, that's it.
Actualy the problem is the modules wich fixes the camera have been made by someone and the best kernell have been made by another one.
The good modules must be integrated to the good kernell and the kernell must be recompilated.
To do so, the devs must have the sources of the modules (but Brinka is not of the dev team and seems having tons of problems to send his work to them).
When this will be done, we will have a new kernell working Wifi and camera "out of the box"
Thanks for the explanation littlebigtux, also the team can't or will not explain how the kernel is exaclty compiled, and with what toolchain and verion. I made a clone of 146 kernel (Wifi works) compiled it and outcome is not the same as the original kernel. That's why a different haret is needed also..
But I am happy the camera works on a 300 also !!!!!!!!
Lets wait for a new official kernel..
Realy the change is so simple.

Well, I certainly would be in the "can't" category.
It seems we need a wiki page of the complete kernel build process. We have a good one for the system image, but I don't think there's a complete end-to-end method/wiki page on how to compile a kernel.
I shall work with GlemSom and others to hopefully make a complete page on this topic.
Thanks for your hard work brinka123, I hope to see your patch soon!
Hi all! In last post from brinka123 in his thread i download his kernel version 3 and good news - wifi working, camera working, bluetooth pairing with my pc but i can't send file to phone. Audio bluetooth will test later.
Will be great if all developer start work together and they can make best kernel ever and soon all ported android devices can using NAND.
Hope on this.

[Q] Are kernels bound to specific versions of CWM?

All,
I have a question regarding what kernels are 'compatible' with various versions of CWM. The reason I ask is because the CWM threads I see are usually bundled with a specific kernel, and without finding specific info about that, I'm led to assume that there's a dependency there.
Until yesterday I was running Bubby's stock rooted kernel. FWIW this is my 'upgrade' path:
Zedo V3(Bad LOS) -> Bubby's stock pulled EB30 with root retained - Great performance, maybe 3 instances of LOS in the 2 months that I've been running it.
Perusing the dev section I saw that NoCIQ was available but required CWM to flash. A search for CWM yielded a few threads. Wanting to have a rooted, and not stock kernel, I settled on the LostKernel/CWM5 package. After a few hiccups getting back to no yellow triangle, etc. Things seemed to be running fine. And they still are...mostly.
The one difference is that on my way in to work this morning - I ride train that passes through several 3g/4g coverage areas so it will switch back and forth between them periodically, including a tunnel where ALL service is temporarily lost.
I noticed that when going through a small area where there is no data coverage at all(this is typical), that when I got back into a coverage area that I had complete LOS! Toggling airplane mode brought data back but to regain cell service I had to reboot my phone.
This is, again, after 2 months with virtually no LOS, travelling the same route every day. One instance is not a reason to panic but having it the first day of using a kernel that's supposed to reduce LOS has me a little concerned.
Now to the point of my babbling. What I want to know is if I would be able to put Bubby's kernel back onto my phone and still have it be compatible with the CWM5 that was installed via chris's lostkernel package?
Thanks in advance for any help.
The kernel consists of a linux kernel + an initramfs (which is basically an initial filesystem but mapped to cache memory, so technically part of the kernel)
On Samsung, the same kernel+initramfs is used for both Android and Recovery.
kernal+initramfs is what people around here call a zImage. When you flash a kernel/zImage, you get whatever recovery came in the initramfs of that kernel/zImage.
So CWM is not necessarily tied to a particular version of the kernel, you can match different versions of CWM with different kernels. However kernels (as the term is used for Samsung phones) do come bundled with a particular recovery, so you flash the kernel you get that recovery, whether that be stock or some version of CWM.
CWM/kernel
Heya.
Lostkernel is from source. Thus it will reduce your LOS but notget rid of it. Sofar for me the only kernel with CWM that is from a stock pulled kernel that has no LOS so far for me is chris41g pulled/CWM. Sorry for not adding link but just look in development and you should see it.
Also this is the Dev.section,you should post your questions in Q&A.
Hope this helps ya.

yes that's it. Are u on ek02 or eg30? U could still use ek02 so yes that is the stock kernel with cwm. U can also over clock the stock kernel with an app called tegrak. It is a paid app in the market. I highly recommend it for overclocking stock kernels.

Hey thanks Chris I luv ACS stuff. The best on XDA for the et4g.
Thanks for the responses all, certainly clears things up and gives me solace that I can swap kernels if needed.
To clarify, do I need to install the EK02 update before I flash the EK02 kernel?
Also, the EK02 update is not released yet, correct?

It's a Samsung architecture thing - kernels don't overwrite recovery, they INCLUDE recovery within the initramfs. Change the initramfs, you change the included recovery.
On other devices (including Snapdragon-based Samsungs and Tegra-based Samsungs), there is a separate recovery partition/image that has its own kernel, but not Exynos/Hummingbird based devices.

Nobody is 'ok', if you read the first few posts, you'll see that I get 'reprimanded' point made, and taken. Now besides that does that mean that the thread can't be responded to and the help given?

I can't believe more people aren't recommending it. Anyhow, got a thanks from me for the same reason. Chris, I am wondering if people are hesitating because they think they wont get the same performance as they do on your stock repacked with CWM5. The performance is as good with the great recovery

No youdo not have to flash the EK02 update to flash the kernel. You can flash the kernel first. Actually you can flash in any order. Kernel/modem/update. I sofar have EK02 kernel and modem installed but have not flashed the ROM update yet.
Also this is not a official release from sammy yet. But have it from good sources that this will be the final build they will release soon.

[HOWTO] Port N7100 ROMs to I317 and N7105

I spent the entire day yesterday trying to make Android Revolution HD work on my I317. At the end of the day, success ! and here is how:
Please do not experiment with this stuff if you're not familiar with partitions and the way things work. You do run the risk of bricking your device permanently if you don't know what you're doing. I'll write this so that developers can start porting their ROMs to the LTE variants.
The two devices are identical except for the modem (and rild files) and the GPS initialization at bootup.
1. You'll need to rewrite the updater-script in most CWM flashable ROMs to make sure.. again, MAKE SURE that you do not flash anything else except /system /data and the boot partition. Overwriting your modem partition with a modem from the N7100 phone or the bootloader partitions will blow up your phone. You've been warned ! The partition labels and numbers are identical so you won't have to change that.
2. Make sure you bundle a kernel (boot.img) from one of I317/N7105 (depending on which device you own). Obviously we're talking about TW kernels here so for example stock JB kernels or Perseus will do just fine. Do not flash boot.img kernels from the N7100 section.
3. You'll need to add and remove a bunch of userland library files from your device. I won't attach these files here but you can grab them from any I317/N7105 ROM:
Files to ADD/REPLACE (Yes, every single one counts as they're dynamically linked). The stuff in /system/bin are started by the initramfs in the kernel so add them all in as well:
Code:
./system
./system/bin
./system/bin/qcks
./system/bin/sec-ril
./system/bin/qmuxd
./system/bin/efsks
./system/bin/diag_uart_log
./system/bin/netmgrd
./system/bin/gsiff_daemon
./system/bin/ks
./system/bin/rild
./system/bin/qmiproxy
./system/bin/secstarter
./system/etc
./system/etc/gps.conf
./system/lib
./system/lib/hw
./system/lib/hw/audio.primary.smdk4x12.so
./system/lib/hw/gps.default.so
./system/lib/hw/audio_policy.smdk4x12.so
./system/lib/libril-qc-qmi-1.so
./system/lib/libnetmgr.so
./system/lib/libaudio-ril.so
./system/lib/libloc_api_v02.so
./system/lib/libril-qcril-hook-oem.so
./system/lib/libqdp.so
./system/lib/libdsutils.so
./system/lib/libqmiservices.so
./system/lib/libqmi_client_qmux.so
./system/lib/libloc_adapter.so
./system/lib/libqmi_common_so.so
./system/lib/libqdi.so
./system/lib/libqmi.so
./system/lib/libcsd-client.so
./system/lib/libloc_eng.so
./system/lib/libqmi_encdec.so
./system/lib/libqcci_legacy.so
./system/lib/libqmi_cci.so
./system/lib/libssaudio-client.so
./system/lib/libidl.so
./system/lib/libril.so
./system/lib/libqmi_csi.so
./system/lib/libdiag.so
./system/lib/libdsi_netctrl.so
./system/lib/libgps.utils.so
./system/lib/libgps.so
To remove !!! Moi importante !
Code:
./system/lib/hw/gps.exynos4.so
If you don't remove that GPS exynos4 file, HAL will load it and never the gps.default.so file so your gps won't work. Took me three friggin hours to figure out.
4. Lastly, you'll need to change build.prop so that it loads our RILD files instead of the N7100's:
Code:
replace
rild.libpath=/system/lib/libsec-ril.so
with
rild.libpath=/system/lib/libril-qc-qmi-1.so
5. ???
6. Profit.
When I get sometime, I'll try to port CM10 from the N7100 tree. Done.
im going to try this I hope it works thanks

I'm not going to upload it because I'm too lazy to ask for his permission. silly i know
il ask for u and then u can upload it but does calling work like can u call your voicemail ? and thanks so much me gusta lol
Thanks for this...are you looking at porting over imilka's CM10 build?
my day just got better
dammit.. phone call goes through but I can't hear anything!!
Lemme see if I can fix that.

I don't think that will be possible until we have an cm10 kernel built for our device first, can't switch in a TW kernel for their cm10 kernel without possibly bricking our phones
And to the OP of this thread:
Great work man, I know they were having a little trouble getting the roms to port on our IRC channel, hopefully this opens the flood gates for more rom possibilities :good:

I'm going to port the standard CM10 that is available at github.com/cyanogenmod Once this is completed, then we can incorporate that to all AOSP based roms.
The kernels are actually pretty close to each other. (have a look at the defconf for details). What's different is the initramfs and the userland binaries/libraries. I'll have a look at it but I need to get this audio going on TW roms first.

Thats, what I thought, but he said he was gunna try CM10...I've been trying to learn more about Kernels all morning, and I understand we have a Qualcomm modem, but idk what would be needed to build a kernel for say CM...any thoughts?
Sorry for the OT OP.

Audio phone calls work
PHONE CALLS..
FIXED
HOW U LIKE DEM APPLES amigos
lemme update the OP.
edit: done. OP's list of files to add/replace is updated to reflect this change. basically a bunch of libaudio* files and their dependencies.

Damn man you work too quickly, at this rate we should have CM10 in like 2 hours

lol. it'll be a while til we get CM10 running. I've just quickly looked at the differences and have an idea where to go from here but that's about it.
It all depends on how much free time I get here at work.
Madmack, you sir are a freaking genius. Now I'm glad I didn't get the international version cause I have lte in my area. Can't wait for more ported roms and aosp goodness. Thank you sir!

I actually pulled it from a N7105 LJ4 Rom. Download the stock LJ4 ROM, it should include it. If not, well, then don't add it and see what happens.

PAC MAN 20.1 [PrimoC] Wifi Broken

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1948034&page=35
I can't post to the thread because I haven't posted enough on XDA to post in developer threads yet apparently. Needless to say the latest PAC MAN release, wifi is broken.
There is one person who asks "Why is wifi still broken?" but it seems to have been glanced over. I have fully wiped and installed, and Wifi is in a permanent state of starting, scanning, turning off, turning back on, scanning, turning off, turning back on, scanning, ... in an infinite loop. It did this when I upgraded from 20.0, and did it after I did a full wipe as well.
I'm trying to find a 4.2.x rom that has preferably all the hardware working (wifi, camera, and bluetooth being the most important short of the phone functionality) that doesn't suffer from the random lockscreen reboot. If someone has a suggestion on which PrimoC Rom fits that bill please let me know.
I apologize for not posting this in the appropriate place, but I'm not allowed to post it in an the appropriate place until I post more.
... It would be nice if someone could mention this to inyourface to let him know, since you know, I can't.

it's 4.2 and camera (3MP) works but I'm not sure about bluetooth although I doubt it cuz I haven't even found a 4.1 rom that it works with I actually prefer Provision http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2098618 though or even Pacman 19.3... be sure whatever rom you use to flash the boot.img that it says to flash and if you need a kernel that is a zip file flash that too (it will have the modules for wifi)

I thought all CDMA development was in the CDMA development forum, I didn't know PrimoC builds were in the "Original Android Development" that makes things a little more confusing.

Sorry 'bout that. Bluetooth works to an extent. Audio from calls isn't being routed correctly so you don't hear anything through a Bluetooth headset when someone calls you and visa versa.

He knows, it's not working on either version of the ROM. PrimoU or PrimoC. He's working on other things too, just be patient guys! Try v19.3 in the meantime. It's fully stable, and my daily driver. I love it!

Bluetooth works in 19.3. As for the kernel, it's the 'boot.img' thats in the zip file. It's usually in the .zip with the ROM
Same Problem...
I have the same problem... But I come from Cyanogen 10.1 and it was working fine. The thing is that it does conect to some free wifi connections like mcdonald's one but not to my home wifi... I will try to install back CM 10.1 and see what happens.
---------- Post added at 12:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:54 AM ----------
Ok everything is ok with CM 10.1 restored... I'm going to try installing Pac rom without doing a format system before and see what happens...
PS: I'm on sony xperia SP c5303 if some cares...

Ooookkkaayyy.....
1. Please try to avoid reviving dead threads unless you truly have a reason
2. Please post problems in THAT devices forum as I imagine very few HTC One V users are aware of Sony Xperia SP development
3. Sometimes ROMs have bugs. Accept that.
Gloups! Sorry!
I thought I was in the xperia sp forum when I wrote that...
Sorry :-[
