This file protects your phone from running below a dangerous level and potentially rendering X10 devices to an unusable or hard brick.
Hello XDA developers
Latest Version 3 :: Please use the latest version and report back the contents of - /data/local/tmp/extract_charger_status.txt - with any issues and state which firmware you were using this with.
I've identified an issue after killing an X10a involving the offline charger. I hope the following can save any further problem's by using the following charger_fix_v3.zip with xRecovery as it is a simple case of rebooting into xRecovery and loading the update. This file is safe for X10 owners as it introduces a stock SE file back to the system, which if not present can render the system a brick.
[ROM] - TripNRaVeR - TripNMiUI - should not be used with this patch as an unknown issue exists with the charger that is currently being researched, until further notice DO NOT apply this update if you are using TripNMiUI or any variant.
There is no SETUID for Android. Android developers state there is no need as Dalvik code will never require elevated or root permissions and hence, it introduces a potential security flaw.
Q: What is it?
A: SE Official charger file - /system/bin/charger - has special permissions which can not be set by root or any other user, the file need's to be moved into place, as it contains setuid or the "Sticky" Unix file system permission.
Wait! How about - chmod 06755 or chmod 04755 - I hear you say? Forget it.. This is not a simple file, it's a Linux binary an ELF Linker file that contains critical system links to (among others//).. the following;
Code:
/sys/class/power_supply/battery/capacity
/sys/devices/platform/msm_pmic_vibrator/enable
/system/bin/chargemon
Nothing special here? Well if you say so! Wait does this look familiar to anyone?
Code:
/sys/class/leds/lv5219lg
RGB LED interface
WLOD (white led of death) issues, or seeing three red blinking led lights
Code:
/sys/class/power_supply/usb/online
/sys/class/power_supply/ac/online
/system/etc/semc/chargemon
This charger file defines the CPU scaling and governor, which is of massive importance to anyone having issues with poor battery life and general performance of their custom rom
For anyone working with customizations around chargemon, you need to include this file and ensure to include - /system/bin/charger - as an entry in any modifications to chargemon right after
#!/system/
It should ALWAYS be the 2nd line in the chargemon file. No questions asked, this file must be optimized and present, it can not be a touch file with any old permission set assigned!
(*ATTN ALL ROM DEVELOPERS*)
Important lesson when handling Android files. You must set the correct permissions and assign the correct security groups - setuid - as they are held in memory. If a part of code executes and is unable to reach the expected memory - WLOD
Not to be patronizing or arrogant, I suspect the issue arrived with Froyo (now in Beta 4), which made it's way via TripNrAvER to a further ROM developers and the issue exists and is present in many (possibly all 2.2.1 Froyo x10 roms) although most user complaint's arrive in strange or hard to understand messages, which is too often interpreted around the forums as just being n00bish and not knowing how to use SEUS or Flashtool...
This thread is specifically for ROM developers and is a deep technical issue. Please do not move this thread to apps or general

Thank you DoomLoRD, Androxyde, Bin4y, Zdzihu & Jerpelea for their excellent work and patience, who without their presence and effort on XDA the X10 would never be half of what it is today
EDIT: - v1 was not copying to location correctly - v2 uploaded
updates
Latest! - zdzihu has released a new version which is for Beta 4 variants specifically - http://www.mediafire.com/?5rr5ygl1udldla1
This fix should not be applied on Trip's MIUI ROM until further notice!
Thanks to My_Immortal & kmilof for pointing out that there is an issue with TripNRavER MIUI
Unsure why there was a problem with TripNMui, I will investigate. The permission groups are different and am investigating.
1: Replaces a critical system file with correct system permissions.
How to tell if this exists or if you need this update? It's very easy Using a file explorer (i.e; Root Explorer) also others work, browse to the directory; /system/bin/ <- look for the file charger as @cobrato pointed out, it should be identical.
14356 = Binary file size
-rwsr-xr-x = Unix file permission
The permissions are the important part and during the night it was posed, this could be handled with the following command - busybox chmod u+s - while this is true, it is context sensitive. For example if this command is issued in the context of root, the setuid is included and created for root. This file belongs to a special group which can't be modified. If anything it should reset permissions on a file which exists and enable correct permissions on the charger and enable it to work again.
It appears to have been too late for one x10 last night. I received another P.M of death by USB and the problem is real and has claimed many devices, although I am having a hard time pinpointing what caused it, I'm unable to say that much other than this is potentially a cure if even partial as pointed out by picking up on a modification from DooMLoRD, to optimize offline charging.
To prevent your x10 from battery death after modification, never allow the battery to run below 5% - replacing battery might be the only hope if this happens!
Thanks for your effort in explaining what this zip does.
Not entirely sure what it all means but I understand it to mean everyone on any 2.2 CUSTOM ROM should flash this. I will do so and report back any issues.
PS. I have never had a WLOD FC yet.

EDIT: Flashed onto WB ROM...no issues so far.

@mrHassell
my question is, do we need to flash this everytime we flash a new rom or is it something that just needs to be done once?
I have said before, but thanks again for your tirelress work, you too give a great deal to our x10 forum, thanks for your hardwork my friend.

Well if the new Custom Roms that will be developed from now onwards include it you won't need to flash it every time but lets said that you'll be flashing FreeX10Beta4 or WB CM 6 ROMS you'll have to do it every time since those ROMS doesn't include it for now and every time you flash a new ROM it overwrites the existing /system/bin folder...

not so sure what is the uses.

I flashed it over Trip's 1.0.2 and everything went fine. Phone booted normally.
I haven't 100% understood what it does, but it certainly did not do me any damage.
Did you make a nandroid before flashing?

Me, too..
Can somebody explain?
Anyways, installed succesfully on Trip's MIUI 0.0.98. (The IRIS one.)
A few people saying their phones have been bricked (thinking they were, you can't brick an x10) and getting either a wlod, or three blinking red led flashes, because their battery level got so low and they were unable to offline charge it.
This fixes it and makes sure that cannot happen.
That is what it is for...

I was thinking to be this, I mean not to let the phone to go in soo low battery level.
thats weird, i always drain my battery to completely dead (3 red flashes) when im trying to recalibrate the battery and never ran into this issue. I have however had issues with low battery causing multiple WLOD reboots over and over.
Is this recommended to use for 2.3.3 as well? I will try n flash it now on J's CM7 017 STOCK.

flashed fine on Js CM7 017
dunno what's happening, i flashed again in trip 1.0.63, and again black screen after the boot screen. any idea? :E
is it also installed if i include it in a own package who only removes the existing charger in system/bin and then copys the new one or do i have to install the zip you uploaded that it would be installed right?

1.0.2 Using the MiniCM6 Nobodyatall!
One of the best roms in Big X10 xda land "Wolfbreaks" uses this.
I hope the roms here start using it... It rapes!
I must say.. this is works very well on my mini with MiniCM 2.0.5 GingerBread
Before: Active launcher and Zeam launcher is redraw everytime I finish to play NFS Shift or even after I open Application manager
After: No redraw (Active Launcher and Zeam) when finished playing Angry Birds, NFS Shift and other RAM eater games
Great ..
So I tried this script, and now my launcher is hard to kill / supercharged
but then after reboot it still says my launcher is hard to kill, but also that my prior minfrees don't match my current minfrees.
it then shows my curent minfrees as the default minfrees and the prior as what i selected. is that supposed to happen?
I mean exactly as the screenshot moedjs posted
like isn't it supposed to set current minfrees to what i selected, and not to default?

It works badass!
I did not understand the installation
ops , I did find a help, sorry
hey guys, does this works in SE android firmware 2.1?
Another question, in a tutorial it says :
P.S. When Installing Programs, MAKE SURE Script Manager are installed on PHONE and NOT in the MicroSD Card!
I have app2sd installed already , how can I do this? thanks
can someone who tried this give his values and his results?
sounds like a great tool
thnx in advance
I have the same problem as Carpe-Dimi above regarding new minfrees not sticking after reboot, although the Launcher is "Hard to kill".
I used option 6 in the script set up.
I followed help file advice to have Script Manager run /system/etc/init.d/99SuperCharger "at boot" and "as root" but problem persists.
Otherwise seems to work fine at keeping launcher in memory. I don't see any boost in Quadrant Score... or any other noticeable improvements to be honest.
MiniCM 7 is pretty good as it is
Any advice on settings or getting minfrees to stick?
Anyone know if it works on mini pro?
That number 1-17 is best for my phone?

there are config files in the ramdisk.tar (can't remember name atm, but they are init.rc files) that have lines regarding the setting of ram optimizations.
however. these are definatley meant to do the same as the script, but the values in them don't correspond to the ones the script readsout, so I'm thinking another script runs on top of that which overrides those values again.
that's just a theory tho, since I can't edit the ramdisk file as I dunno how to set the permissions back when unpacking and repacking ramdisk.tar but I'll get back when I find out.
as for the launcher being bulletproof, that definately makes the home button respond a lot faster ^^

Somewhere in the original post it says that in some Custom Roms the minfrees won't stay after reboot so you HAVE TO select 'run at boot' for it to stay.
edit: From original post:
Note: For some reason, the minfree levels do not stick on some Custom ROMs. I don't know why this is. Maybe a bug in GingerBread?
........ You can check /res/user.log to see if it ran...
........ If this happens to you, use Script Manager to load /system/etc/init.d/99SuperCharger "on boot" and "run as root"
And I also have a question(just like the one 2 above)
What is the best one to choose (1-17)?
ThankYou
I tried:
'........ If this happens to you, use Script Manager to load /system/etc/init.d/99SuperCharger "on boot" and "run as root"'
and still could not get values to stick
Has anyone else tried this and had more luck?
how do you install this.. i could not understand

u r correct...the memory free settings are modified by some file not located in ram disk...i have examined the init.rc files and ramdisk settings are quiet different form the one that is set in the roms during runtime
now only if v knew what that file was!!!
The values are not equal with me, but I noticed a big improvement!
I am using the following values in the original 6,8,16,20,22,60 MiniCM6 Froyo!
It must have some kind of file it impossible values are equal, but it works it works!
I have done for mine and is awesome...

since people do not pay attention at this FAQ linked in miniCM7 first post,
[*]i decided to create a new thread dedicated to Q&A about miniCM7 and nAa's kernel
this thread is the place of your questions, answers, tips about nAa's kernel and miniCM7 by nAa
so please, as usual, read FAQ, use search option or anything else before asking commonly answered questions
the FAQ will be incremented when needed
the Q&A are in random order
before all the Q&A below : one is most important :
in order to install miniCM7 2.1.X you NOW need :
- to read this upgrade guide
- to read that post
- to unlock your bootloader (see also here)
- to flash nAa's kernel for X10mini, for X8, for x10miniPRO
if not, you will brick your phone. -> read this then, that may help you : !!!!
--> i think it is still too small ...
something else that is useful to read before asking :
Here we (nearly all? XDA members, regardless of being devs or only users [like me], me at least ) don't care about your good/bad English the important is trying to be understood and to understand the content of the threads
only ask things you can't find, or you don't understand, please if you don't understand something in any process tell us exactly where is your problem : it will optimize the answer
sometime rephrasing things can make you understand better, feel free to help us for making the most understandable sentence for anybody
i'm always trying to use a proper English (not so easy for a non native English ^^)
but if there's something misunderstood because of my English your are welcome to correct me
BUT if you don't make the effort to read, I won't make the effort to answer (ok, you can't read everything... but read the minimum )
that's it
Instructions regarding miniCM7-2.1.X installation:
Download the latest all-in-one package from the release link that follows
Backup your /data contents: contacts, apps, sms, etc. or backup via recovery
Move the MiniCM7-xxx.zip to the root folder of your sdcard and rename it to update.zip. Optionally, download the suggested Google Apps for CM7 (check http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/ if you want to experiment with other gapps versions)
Unlock your bootloader, if you haven't already, using the stuff in unlock/ folder. Check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225 for a nice tutorial
Flash the nAa kernel using Flashtool. To to this:
- Turn off your phone
- Start the Flashtool\X10FlashTool.exe and select Flash. Then select the E10_nAaxxx kernel firmware (this flashes both the kernel.sin and the loader.sin)
- Keep the back button pressed while connecting the usb cable. Flashtool should detect your phone and flash the kernel.
- Once done, disconnect the usb cable and power on the phone.
Once the logo appears, press the back button repeatedly to enter CWM4.x.
- Select 'backup and restore -> Backup'
- Select 'wipe data/factory reset' (SUGGESTED)
- Select 'apply update from sdcard'
- Flash gapps
Reboot (first boot will take ~2 mins)
Once your device has booted, you can navigate to CM Settings -> System -> Update notifications and select 'Register'. This way you can get update notifications on new versions of MiniCM7!

for miniCM9 refer to THIS THREAD PLEASE
for quick search, use ctrl+f and enter keyword, you should find an answer to your question
1/ I can’t see incoming call number, what can I do ?
Change CM Settings -> Lockscreen -> Style options -> Incoming call style choose sliding tabs
2/ my LED is not blinking properly is there any way to change that?
If you’re using miniCM 2.0.5 you must delete delete /system/lib/hw/lights.x10mini.so
If you’re using miniCM 2.0.6 & 2.0.7, 2.1.0,2.1.1, 2.1.2or2.1.3 you must delete /system/lib/hw/lights.robyn.so with rootexplorer or any other file manager that allows you to explore and modify root files
handcent led settings does not work properly with lights.robyn.so
of course, you need to reboot your phone after that.
then : After the restart, go to CyanogenMod settings/Interface/LED notifications/Advanced make sure everything is unchecked, select Reset and then reboot again.
of course, you need to reboot your phone after that.
also try this : go to CyanogenMod settings/Interface/LED notifications/Advanced then tick and untick "random colors" this may solve everything if not :
MarkMRL said:
By ticking and unticking everything a few times randomly, I probably triggered the random flag to update correctly, thus fixing the blinking color. Now I can select a color and have it blink normally.

you can"t delete the file? see q33/
REDELETE AFTER EACH UPDATE if you have the same problem SINCE THE FILE IS REWRITTEN
this Q/A2 is also True for all builds of MiniCM9 and 10
3/I want SE stock keyboard on this ROM !!
Just long press on any txt you’re typing on, “choose input method” then choose default input
4/ I’m already running an older version on miniCM7 (2.0.4 for example) do I have to perform a factory reset/ full wipe ?
There’s no need to factory reset in that case
you may have to perform this to avoid performance issue : here
5/ I’m already running an older version on miniCM6 (1.0.2 for example) do I have to perform a factory reset/ full wipe ?
Yes, absolutely, same as if you were under gingerDX, SE stock rom or any other non miniCM7 based. you will loose ALL your data that are on phone memory (sms/mms, contacts, calendar...) if you're sync to a google account, your contacts and calendar should be preserved
q4/ and q5/ : to upgrade from any version of miniCM below 2.1.X you need an unlocked bootloader, and to flash nAa's kernel !
all is explain in the first lines of this post
6/ how can I activate overclock or undervolt ?
Open CMsettings/performances/CPUsettings/ then tick overclock OR undervolt, undervolt is automatically activated with overclock.
Remember not to tick “set on boot” option if you’re trying frequenies upper than 710 that could make your phone unstable or being damaged.
for miniCM7 2.0.6 you also need to flash the module hotfix to see overclock/undervolt working
no need to install that for 2.0.7, see Q 16/
for nAa07+ and miniCM7-2.1.6+, Open CMsettings/performances/CPUsettings/,
Remember not to tick “set on boot” option if you’re trying frequenies upper than 710 that could make your phone unstable or being damaged.
Since OC is now embedded in kernel, no module to enable (so OC option disappeared!), if you want to OC only, just choose the freq, if you want to undervolt too, tick undervolt option !
7/ i'm actually using Xrecovery can i install miniCM7 directly ?
no, you can't, you first need to install clockworkmod recovery from the link given in the first post (put in on the root of your sd card, then reboot to recovery, "install custom zip", reboot : cwm recovery is now installed, you can flash this ROM )
8/ i can't download some apps from the market
download 'market enabler' and select T-mobile Usa as fake provider, then retry to search and download them. that should work
9/ random problems that are unknown for anyody?
reflash the rom, i.e. reinstall the rom zip trough recovery
&/or
first backup, then do a factory reset, or restart from the beginning, it could solve lots of problem (you will loose ALL your data that are on phone memory (sms/mms, contacts, calendar...) if you're sync to a google account, your contacts and calendar should be preserved)
you may have to perform this to avoid performance issue : here
10/ i own a X10miniPRO (u20i) does this ROM suites to this phone?
NO,No, and No this ROM is ONLY for X10mini (e10i/e10a) not for any other phone [a version is also available for X8, in the X8 section.]
edit : there is a version for minPRO available here so the ROM suites to X10mini, X8 and X10miniPRO in their respective version
11/ my battery is draining so fast ... what should i do ?
first calibrate your battery by fully charging your phone, then reboot into recovery, select Advanced/Wipe Battery Stats and then unplug and reboot
if there's no improvement so far
- see if there's app running always in the background
- look in CyanogenMod settings/Interface/LED notifications/Advanced make sure radom is not ticked
12/ i have installed minicm7 when i power on the phone it stuck on cyanogen 7 logo. what should i do.
does your phone comply to the conditions of the first post ?
if yes and if you can access to CWMrecovery, then reflash the rom and/or factory reset (you will loose ALL your data that are on phone memory (sms/mms, contacts, calendar...) if you're sync to a google account, your contacts and calendar should be preserved)
if not or if you can't access to CWM use Sony Ericsson Update Service to recover your phone as if it was out of the box (you will loose ALL your data that are on phone memory (sms/mms, contacts, calendar...) if you're sync to a google account, your contacts and calendar should be preserved)
13/ in the default input method, when i scroll down/up the "-,?,!,@,_ ..." & emoticons menu until it stops itself, the keyboard remains froozen
rotate your screen and this will be fixed, and don't scroll this violently
14/ app2SD and other features aren't working with 2.0.6, why is that?
for miniCM7 2.0.6 you also need to flash the module hotfix to see all the modules working (oc; uv; app2sd...)

16/ i want to install 2.0.7, do I have to install hotfix from 2.0.6?
no you don't : each hotfix is specific of each version
"module hotfix" was for 2.0.6 not 2.0.7
17/ where are market, gmail and other google apps ????
you seem not have read carefully the first post : you need to flash gapps via CWM after flashing the ROM in order to use google services!

I reply to myself after getting help from matmutant.
I was looking for two different things: Getting the Sony Ericsson menu to the market, and enabling the Road Sync app that's free for SonyEricsson X10 mini users
To enable the SonyEricsson market, you need to edit the /system/build.prop file. Please be careful when you edit the file. If you mess up the file, you might get a phone that you can't boot (this can be fixed, cause i messed up a couple fo times I explain this later).
You can either just change the keys, or do like below: comment the old values with a # as the first char on the row, and write the new below.

ro.product.board=delta
#ro.product.manufacturer=SE
ro.product.manufacturer=Sony Ericsson
As I mentioned earlier, i messed up the /system/build.prop file at one point. To get this fixed, i just rebootet into recoverymode, and mounted /system. After this i could use adb (found in the android-sdk) to copy back an corrected build.prop (./adb push build.prop /system/build.prop)
I had also an other issue with the android-market app. It crashed and got stuck a couple of times, so i fixed this by uninstalling the recent update from manage applications->All->Market.
I hope my changes don't break anything for the CM7, so please if you know that CM7 needs any of these keys i changed in build.prop, then please inform me

20/ i can't pull off the notification menu by pressing the bottom of the screen after opening notifications... only for 2.0.7 and previous builds!
it is somewhat hard to close notifications like this (sometime easy sometimes not.) just press back button and all would be fine
regarding 2.1.0+ and custom kernel :
my phone is laggy with 2.1.0 and crashes when screen goes off
it seems that on some phones, lockscreen is related to phone crash:
waiting for a fix,DustArma found a workaround :
DustArma said:
To everyone who has the lockscreen crashing problem, just disable it.
Go to Menu > Settings > CM Settings > Tablet tweaks > Disable lockscreen.
Now it won't freeze, but of course you won't have a lockscreen, that could be fixed by downloading a custom lockscreen from market though
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
DustArma said:
I can confirm that replacement Lockscreens from the market, such as WidgetLocker and Simply Lockscreen will work, so just follow my instructions to disable the lockscreen and then download a replacement one from the market, this will be a good enough workaround until nAa fixes the lockscreen reboot issue some of us are having.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
---> reported to work. the phone won't freeze anymore, nor need reboots
BETTER WAY : flash miniCM7-2.1.1 that seems to fix the lock screen problem with carrier.

yes it is normal, this is a kernel bug, don't worry about that it has been fixed since nAa_kernel 04
when you see that thing it's time to press back button if you want to access recovery
23/ offline charging doesn't work, and my phone boots instead when i plug it to charge, why?
for 2.1.0, 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.1.3,2.1.4 & 2.1.5 there is no offline charging due to kernel+cwm (not implemented yet ?), as a result, the phone boots up
fixed with nAa kernel07+miniCM7-2.1.6 !

25/ where can i find themes for my mini? (theme chooser themes...)
themes that are fully compatible with our mini are called LDPI so look for LDPI themes !!
here are some themes : pedrocel85 thread
sensified theme : NTsense
sony blue
sony green
CM9 like theme : by ronaldvalles
theme reference : here
flashable theme : black HTC --> WARNING : this destroys stocktheme of CM and takes place instead !!
26/ i'have some problem for sending mms (data enabled) --> with CM7 you just CANT send mms without data enabled
in that case :
DaRk_dOg said:
I think that this is a common issue with CM7 and not just MiniCM7 (I experienced it on my DHD too).
Here is a small workaround for now:
Before sending the mms, disable data traffic, then enable it again and then send your mms.
You have to do it every time, before an mms but it is working for me.

also try to reboot with the hardware combination : power+back , and then back multipress

./android
from the graphic menu install the platform tools
after the installal,go in the platform-tool directory and give theese commands

33/ how to edit/delete stuff in /system using rootexplorer?
in the top of rootexplorer there is a button (mount r/w)
touch it, then it will say the /system is mounted as read/write and the button becomes (mount r/o) or something like that
you now can edit the files
34/ if you disabled the bootanimation, the first boot after applying update will seem to be VERY VERY VERY long with a black screen. don't be afraid
for 2.1.6+, when bootanimation is disabled, the kernel bootlogo is displayed instead, after a purple led blinking once
35/ can i apply update 2.1.3 without flashing nAa kernel05 ?
you shouldn't try, 2.1.3 is dependent to kernel05 !
36/ how do i enable USB tether?

37/ i've got an issue with SDcard : i can't install the rom since CWMrecovery says that sdcard cannot be mounted !
download sdcard formatter from here and format the sd

supercharger optimization that can be usefull :
before updating to newer miniCM,
unsupercharge,
delete supercharger backups and
update to the new miniCM,
then resupercharge if you want
if you don't do that, you may experience some tricky problems if unsupercharging newer miniCM !
if you didn't, ofc don't complain about performance problem
SuperCharger v6 update9-RC1 ONLY for SuperCharger v6 update9 6.2.2 see the middle/end of this post!
first optimization:
1 Download SCRIPT MANAGER FROM MARKET
2 Go to this thread and download SuPERCHARGER SCRIPT 6 update9-RC1
3 Open program, load the script, Tick option run as ROOT.
in program dialog, type "1(fast)" and "enter"
4 answer properly to asked questions by the script !!
5 In main Dialog, type "4" "super UL (aggressive)" and "enter"
6 type 30 (exit) and then "enter" -->at the top you see: running becoming exit code0
7 press "close" (it was "kill" while the script was running)
8 reboot
9 now your phone uses supercharger, you don't need to run it again
another one that seems to be better for our phone (since miniCM7-2.1.3) :
another opti : (i tested and approve this to be somewhat working )

do NOT use the two at the same time, i recommend the second for better results (at least it is better on my phone)
if you want to undo theses opti :
1 run the script
2 choose 1 (fast)
3 choose 15 (UnSuperCharger)
5 wait
6 type 30 (exit) and then "enter" -->at the top you see: running becoming exit code0

40/ why do i have an annoying pop up asking for unlock key when i boot up my phone?
ferotakis said:
after little talk with one my friend we figure it out why in some provider is asking this code and in some not( like my case)
The reason is: This ROM is not legal I mean the original one from the Sony who before opening to users in theirs regions firs will be sent to operators , operators check it and then when you use for example Vodafone.de Vodafone.de if aprove the Sony ROM send a notification to users for a update is ON. When users updates their phone with the operator passed ROM they can be ''seen'' by the operator what type of phone with what type ot Android they are use and can send them auto setings like the APN MMS and etc.
If you want see the truelles of this just call your operator and ask them for auto APN . Try it if you have x10 mini with stock rom and with x10 mini with this one
In firs one operator say you : Ok i see in system you are using x10 mini vith android 2.1 i will send you the setings . But with this room she/he ask you what type of phone do you use bicoz I cant see it on system.
This is same wit the automated operator menus too : when you pres 4 (for example ) in voice menu and ask for a auto internet setings the autovoice say sorry we not support you phone yet will try again later.
This is not big deal for now bicoz the most of operators APN is already configuret but if you use operator who is not includet you cant use mobile data bicoz you not have APNs.
That is wy this code is asking for when you put some of providers sim some of them make theirs system in that way ... its more easy for them but for us is just annoing popup window

then reboot
to re-enable change the value to "false", or delete the line
how to : use rootexplorer,
go to the right place,
then long press on the file,

Here's a brief explanation for A2SD/DC2SD/Swap:
A2SD/DC2SD only makes sense if you have /data that is over 200MB i.e. many apps.
Swap is useful if you need to run memory-hungry apps or wanna have more apps loaded in memory.
Any size for swap should be good depending on your needs (e.g. 128MB). To verify a2sd is loaded, run df via adb shell. It should show /data/app and /data/app-private mounted in /sd-ext.
Also /data/dalvik-cache should be mounted to /sd-ext/dalvik-cache if DC2SD is chosen.
To verify swap is used, try the command 'free' via adb shell.
None of the above are for the everyday/novice users. You have to know what you are doing.

A2SD
What is a2sd?
It's other metod to save applications in SD.
How prepare your SD?
In Windows: Use http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html or other tool partition. Create a ext4 partition in your SD.
In Ubuntu: Use gparted for create ext4 partition
How activate? (thanks to ferotakis)
1. Format SD and partiton it with CWM on phone make yor ext part and swap if yo want swap ig not live it 0
2. Install minicm7
3. Go to CM seting under performance put the a2sd (first show none till reboot)
4. Go to CM then hit apps and tick the "allow app moving to external "
5. Open terminal and type free
6. Go to CM again then performance again then to a2sd and chek there must no say NONE and must be a2sd
7. Install some apps then rootexplorer and browse in root dir on your phone you will saw ext folder open it and look your apps will be there
8. Thanks again if you missed to NAa
9. Learn some Linux
10. Go outside and show your fr and bbf your amazing phone

from which rom did you upgrade ?
I don't really understand why do you use link2sd since this feature is embedded in the rom ...
you should better delete the content of the ext partition and use gb app2sd feature

i updated from MiniCM7 2.0.7. and I want to use link2sd because i`m installing a lot of apps on the phone and i need them to still work when i`m mounting SD Card to the PC. i`m trying to make it work from about 3 days but still nothing

but if you create an ext partition, it should be recognized by GB native app2sd... and you will be able to only mount fat part of your sd .. no?

Hi,
I think in making this thread to discuss what is the optimal configuration for our beloved x10 minis/pros/x8
Best configuration, in my opinion, is when you can use the phone with maximum free memory(so, no lag), the maximun batery duration(so, no overclock and yes undervolt).
These options are completly harm free, if you dont like them you may just undo and be happy, no system files are harmed.
THESE WORKS ALSO WITH X8 and X10 mini pro. These three is the very same phone specs with diferente body shape.
The
Here is goes my configurations:
Cyanogenmod menu/ Performance.
CPU Configuration:
Governor Interactive X(it scales a lot the processor power, keepin it as mutch as possible in low frequencies without performance loss)
Undervolt Ticked
set on boot Ticked
Jit Ticked
allow purging of assets Ticked
Spare Parts program
Windows Animations FAST
Transition Animations FAST
Font Size EXTREMILY LARGE(im a bit blind, )
Programs That eat resources continuously
The is some of them bundled in rom.
I delete all, prefering programs that dont restart itself and eat the few phone resources.
Deleted:
DSP Manager
Gmail
Google Maps
Latitude
FOTA KILL (gOOGLE OVER THE AIR UPDATES)
Pico TTS (text to speech program/interface - if ypu arent blind u dont need it)

Now i get a very Stable phone, fast as hell, with regulary 59mb free ram resources, no lag, batery lasting 1 day of heavy use and one day and a half of mediun use. BENCHMARK with ATUTU: 1608. As it should be.

I can not change the version of busybox!
Every time I make the change, it always returns the old value!
Is there a secret to it, or is it impossible?

Let's get this straight ...
... you also failed to change the busybox?
The description says the supercharger need busybox 1.18.2 or lower, because there may be errors, which are not errors.
I'll try to run the script with the version you have (1.19.1-static CM71)

6 type 17 (exit) and then "enter" -->at the top you see: running becoming exit code0
7 press "close" (it was "kill" while the script was running)
8 reboot
9 now your phone uses supercharger, you don't need to run it again
if you want to undo this :
1 run the cript
2 choose 1 (fast)
3 choose 14 (UnSuperCharger)
5 wait
6 type 17 (exit) and then "enter" -->at the top you see: running becoming exit code0
7 press "close" (it was "kill" while the script was running)
8 reboot
9 now your phone uses no more supercharger.

They do sticky.
Do a litle test over there.
Open script manager, aply agressive settings, wait, close program, reboot.
After a reboot, open program again.
You will see the OOM values you set will still be there.

No problem men, i speak spanish btw
with te previous versions of MiniCM7 the values doesnt stick after reboot, you have to use 98kickasskernel script to make it work. Now works just running the V6 script, and the values stick
is it best to enable compache? what's the effect on the device?
emmanuelcassar said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
compcache works only if you have nAa04 and miniCM7-2.1.2
it will increase RAM (virtually) but uses CPU to "zip-unzip" the data in the compcached RAM part
NOTE: This will probably no longer be maintained. It was the result of me playing around with the kernel from scratch instead of trying to understand what changes others have made and why they had made them! Now I'm a little more confident I'll probably be using DooMLoRD's kernel as a base for any changes I make to the Ray: [Kernel] [Ray] DooMLoRD's Kernel for Ray
hartej said:
Been playing around with Kernel development and created an overclocked kernel for the 4.0.2.A.0 stock Rom.
There's nothing too speciall in it at the moment, but lets you overclock the Ray to 1.9Ghz using the source released by SE and the modified CPU steps that IF2 posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1165355
There's no custom bootloader/Clockwork mod and no additional governers (at the moment) although I may add these in future as I learn more.
It seems to work well enough, and everything seems to be working as standard. I experience random lock-ups at 1.9 and occasionally 1.8Ghz, especially when it goes into/out of sleep when the screen turns off. Lower frequencies seem stable though.
This is released as-is, I'm using it myself but I can't be held responsible for any instabilities or failures you might experience. Just thought it might be of use to some people.
The new .img file can be downloaded from here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17615284/4.0.2.A.0-V0.13-2011-12-18.img
Alternatively, I've posted a version of the DooMLoRD kernel for the Ray which has a ton more features. This can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400121
To install just use fastboot in the usual way. To return to stock, extract kernel.sin from the official update image using WinZip/WinRar etc and flash using fastboot again.

I'll post any updates here from now on.
Changelog:
19/12/2011 - V0.13 - As people have quite rightly pointed out, V0.12 boots at 1.8GHz as default, which causes multiple reboots. I hadn't noticed this as I had SetCPU reduce it to 1GHz as soon as the system started. The only change to this version is to have it boot at 1GHz as default, it's up to the user to increase it themselves.
28/10/2011 - V0.12 - Added Clockwork Recovery v5.0.2.6 (Spam Vol[-] when phone starts up, use volume keys to navigate, home to select, back for back)
28/10/2011 - V0.11 - Started playing with the Ramdisk - as a first start I've made it rootable. Things like "Adb remount" work now.
26/10/2011 - V0.1 - intial release
Current version:
~~~~~~~~~
V0.13 can be downloaded here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17615284/4.0.2.A.0-V0.13-2011-12-18.img

get new kernel~nice
tested it works really cool
thanks!!!!!
Like it...
thanks
Glad to see the "Recovery option" is available.
I tested v0.11+OC 1.3Ghz -> no problem.
However, v0.12+OC 1.2 or 1.3 -> keep on rebooting.
v0.12+no OC (use default 1Ghz) -> no problem.
im on 012+oc 1.5mhz, still working well....
great works!

"[v12 onwards] modified recovery to support /sd-ext backup/restore (remember /sd-ext has to be the 2nd partition on ur sdcard [mmcblk0p2] for this to work)"
if it is not I think that would be usefull with ext support, now you can use a2sd for xperia, bu it is not possible to make nand backup bcs cwm dit not recognize ext partition.
can you add donation possibility, would like to support your work
Thank you a thousand times! :d
2 questions though:
- I have to reroot my phone after this?
- Do I have to rename the download to boot.img?

It's not the latest I'm afraid so I doubt the ext backup would work. I'll see what I can do for the next release when I get a chance.
At some point I was also going to see if it's possible to change the MTD partition structure to give more space to /data. At the moment adb reports:
Code:
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/block/mtdblock0 400.0M 241.8M 158.2M 60% /system
/dev/block/mtdblock3 420.0M 270.3M 149.7M 64% /data
This means that there's over 150MB of 'free' space in system that could be given over to the data partition instead of being effectively lost. May or may not be possible - don't know enough about the system yet.
As for donations - this is as much a learning experience for me than anything else, and at the moment I'm mostly applying things that others have done instead of making any breakthroughs myself so I wouldn't feel happy taking donations, but the thought is appreciated.

You'll have to put it into fastboot mode by powering on and holding Vol[+], then flash using "Fastboot flash boot <filename>" - you can rename it or not, provided the <filename> part matches. You shouldnt have to reroot.

That's strange, i've got it overclocked to 1.5Ghz and it seems to be really stable. As far as I'm aware the only change I made between the two was adding clockwork - there shouldn't be any other difference... I'll look into it.
Double reboot only 10 min after flashing and without changing frequencies..

Do you use SetCPU ? (I use SetCPU 2.2.4)
What's the parameters did you use to OC 1.5Ghz ?
"ondemand" ? "powersave" ? "performance" ? or ?
Currently I changed back to V0.11. (it's stable for me)

Yup, think I'm on 2.14 though - I doubt this would make a difference but its possible I guess.
I leave everything as-is (So ondemand governor) but reduce the min to 122MHz and increase max to 1.5GHz. Still confused as to why the previous version is more stable for some, but I'll have a look at the differences.
hi! thank you for this kernel.
now question. can you include USB_otg into your kernel? it's realised in DooMLorD kernel for arc (link). is it possible to do this feature for our device?
P.S. sorry for my english, i'm from Russia

Tried 0.12 and was really happy there´s clockwork for my ray But I have to go back to stock kernel. v0.12 randomly freezes and then reboots (btw. ray gets hot untill reboot).
I didn´t overclock and use rooted 4.0.2.A.0.42.
