Hopefully this can be integrated into ICS ROMs to make them silky smooth!
I have much hope for that to happen.
This is very good, I will implement these drivers into miuiv4

From what I've read so far, they don't seem to work properly from a straight drop in. I'm now giving it a try though.

So, here the first JellyBean ROM compiled from source for our Play. I have used CM9 device and vendor trees.
Of course, it doesn't boot.
I have added libgenlock because it was missing and not I haven't compiled sensors and gps. They caused errors in compiling.
Kernel is inside the zip. It's FXP with a modified Ramdisk. In particular I have changed only BOOTCLASSPATH. Here more detailed changes between ICS and JB ramdisk: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739561
ROM:
JB 0.0.1

Hi, this is a developers thread, please don't spam it. It says in OP that it doesn't boot.
I thought you got it to boot in the other thread in the general section. Perhaps you can clear up my confusion?

yes it boots but is is not usable.
i can release it but i am sure only a few devs knows how to use it
excuse me if this is the wrong thread to post this but i dont want to open a new thread just for one short question:
i heard that JB needs less ram as ICS did. is that true? that would most likely mean that JB would run better as ICS does, right?
ICS runs good on my play but im always short on ram.

It will run better on our Play.
But to get there, we need functionality before performance.

Hi guys!
I've just seen that in the igloocommunity site today has been released a new ICS rom running on top of 3.4 kernel.
So, I downloaded the kernel file, converted the uImage in zImage and merged with FXP204 ramdisk. Actually i didn't yet tested it, because I haven't enaugh time today.
What I've used:
uImage to zImage tools: http://buffalo.nas-central.org/wiki/How_to_Extract_an_uImage
KeiranFTW kitchen (big thanks to him): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513146
And here it is:
won't work!
zimage is device specific, you cant just use one from another device. you need to compile zimage from source, which isn't possible yet, because there aren't any sources for xperia devices.
You will get 3.4 kernel after xperia p jellybean release.

Uh!
I thought that with that ramdisk this should have worked.
BTW I was just trying doing and learnig something
yeah, but ramdisk isn't a problem, ramdisk is less device specific
Zimage cotains all drivers for display, bootloader, wifi, bluetooth, sound and everything else
Ok!
Thanks!

Even the nexus has just a preview release of ubuntu
How can we expect it to run on novathors without sources?? :/

The rom is based on cm10.1, I guess it's quite hard to build it for Xperia U.
No cm10 is available for xu... How come are we going to start a project based on cm10.1 ??
Thread is way too optimistic...bt not practical
yes and 10 cm is not yet sony remain on cm9 I think
We have to push st-ericson to get sources. If we get it we will can make 4.1 4.2 and Ubuntu os. What do you think about petition to ST-Ericsson?

Awwwww And here I came in thinking I could flash Ubuntu based OS on my phone . /sarcasm
IMO Don't think petition will work... Already tried that. Failed miserably. : (
Though i think I do remember seeing something about the FXP recieving (atleast a part - including some of the blobs required for Microphone/RADIO/A2DP). So maybe that might work. (Still a terribly long shot. )
Maybe possible in a year or year and half I'd guess. Assuming that CM10 on XU would be somewhat usable by November or something (hopefully).
When Android reaches the version 5.0 or 5.1 we would be able to run CM10 and probably CM10.1 on Xperia U... or maybe not.

ANDROID RAMDIZK FOR JB ON XPERIA U​
Hi all, my purpose is to create a mount point for the android system jb, according to knowledge, with modifications you can start ramdizk latest android on the same kernel.
ACCORDING TO MY EXPERIENCE IN JB ICS AND LIBRARIES USED FOR THE SAME IN THIS CASE MALI400 GPU, so it's nothing to make forced changes in the kernel.
What you need to do is make changes to the ramdizk.
You can obtain these files from a jb kernel and extract the ramdizk creating mount points for the start of the software ...
I invite you to participate and contribute to achieving ramdizk, I'm working on this ...
IN X8 SECTION, IS POSSIBLE BOOT ANDROID 2.2 AND 2.3 ON STOCK KERNEL WITH MODIFICATIONS ON RAMDIZK
Based on some reference books I read, an Android system starts up in following main steps:
CPU reads a hard-coded address which usually points to some bootloader program
The bootloader initializes the RAM, puts basic hardware in a quiescent state, loads the the kernel and RAM disk, and jumps to the kernel.
start_kernel() initializes subsystems and proceeds to call the init function of built-in drivers.
The kernel mount its root system (from ramdisk.img).
init.rc is then called to set up the environment variables such as system path, mount other filesystems, start native daemons and so on.
Now, to answer your question: "Is it possible to mount a ramdisk in Android before the Android framework starts, but after the underlying Linux kernel has started?" -- I think this is exactly what android did.
INITS
The fixes required for ramdisk.tar :
init.rc file should have 2 parts from original sony init.rc that are marked as #SEMC
add original init.delta.rc and init.delta.sh from sony or one of my ramdisks, those are responsible for service declarations.
THIS IS A KERNEL FOR GB, ICS AND JB NAA KERNEL
Ramdizk Inector tool
INIT FOR JB HERE
IM ALREADY HAVE THE ROM... IM NEED BOOTIMG FROM JB... ONLY INITS AND COMPILE THIS... WE CAN USE ATIS RAMDISK AS A BASE
PROGRESS
I AM STARTING TO WORK ON THIS
IM WORKING ON THIS...

it would be worth a try, imagine, jelly bean on locked bootloader
leave him alone he is the only one that is helping us and we have asked you all so many times to help and now someone suggest something you argue
Dear brother, I was a X8 user and a fan of your stock SGM CM7. I agree with the fact that stock ramdisk can goes a long way. But brother, it is not the same here in Xperia U. But I'm waiting for you to hear good news
P.S: Our X8 cannot run 4.0 and up well. You know that. And also CM7 is a big laggy. At some point, it will be same here for booting up JB with ICS ramdisk

you can also use winrar or ubuntu to just change the files inside one of the existing ones from atis, it does work afaik
i modified the current atis ramdisk with stuff from the XNovathor 4.0.4 Ramdisk in order to make XNovathor 4.0.4 boot on LockedBL, just drag and drop worked fine i guess, but yeah there are troubles in mounting some partitions, i think i forgot to change something lolz
