Hi all,

I need some testers from all available roms for x10. From stock rom and all custom roms.

Cause there are many custom roms available and they don't use all the same recovery, it's heavy-handed to create update.zips who can used by everyone. If I count a few there are:

people with a 2.2 rom without the needed files for applying custom kernel
people with a 2.2 rom with the needed files for applying custom kernel
people with a 2.2 rom and xrecovery
people with a 2.2 rom and freexperiarecovery

and so on.

my aim is it, to have one update.zip, who works for all people, no matter if they have applied a custom kernel before or have this recovery and not those...
but i can't test all roms now, cause this would need time and nerves i haven't.

Because that, i made two update.zips:

First includes:
please test this first and if this works, flash the one with the kernel, that we know if there are problems, if they come from the recovery part or the uncompatibility between rom and kernel

  • chargemon file whos made for FreeXperiaRecovery
  • FreeXperiaRecovery

Requirements:
this zip should work on all basebands, but i generally prefer bb 2.0.52 from here with bb patch for 2.2 roms from here

Second includes:

  • chargemon file whos made for FreeXperiaRecovery and boots custom kernel as default
  • kernel folder: latest custom kernel (k006) with miniloader and splboot.ko files
  • FreeXperiaRecovery
  • wifi modules for 2.2 and 2.3 roms

Kernel k011/k012 changelog:
  • kernel 2.6.29.6
  • a lil more free ram
  • removed UV for 998Mhz (seems to be the cause reboots)
  • Fix FrameCap (Thank Z)
  • addded all mtd partitions (Thank Z)
  • volume fix
  • compiled with new gcc 4.4.3
  • changed SLAB alocator to SLOB
  • enabled swap support
  • added Tiny RCU
  • added UV/OC (k012)
  • added UC (k012.1)
  • FPS cap removed
  • fixed iptables

Requirements:
  • Flash the ftf bundle from the latest Cm 7 release with flashtool
  • Only for 2.2 roms: Basebandpatch 49 from here


Please test the update.zips on your rom (but make a backup before flashing, that you can restore anything if s.th. goes wrong) and report if it works on your rom, and don't forget to tell which rom you tested on.

before installing, make sure you comply the requirements

installation:

For users who haven't FreeXperiaRecovery yet:
For users who have FreeXperiaRecovery yet:
  • install directly latest version
  • now boot up system and enjoy ;)

Legend:
  • FX = FreeXperia
  • FXR = FreeXperiaRecovery
  • gb = Gingerbread
  • froyo = froyo
  • only wrote bin or xbin instead of system/bin or system/xbin

Link for first zip (only FreeXperiaRecovery):

FXR_v051.zip

Link for second zip (FreeXperiaRecovery and custom Kernel as default booted):

2.6.29.6_FX_k011+FXR_v0.0.8.2.zip

2.6.29.6_FX_k012+FXR_v0.0.9.1.zip

2.6.29.6_FX_k012.1+FXR_v0.1.0.0.zip

Install this for using the custom kernel with froyo (Thanks ! tsuyo.kou):

Trying it on Trips gingerbread MIUI ROM. I'll report back!

It booted, and OC works (setCPU)! Will try it for a while to test performance and battery. :)

Alright, the touch and animations is very smooth with this kernel. :) And WiFi works!

I'll use it for a while and see if it drains much battery. :D

EDIT: As it seems now it drains hella lot battery. :/ Even though im using the BOOST guide and screen of profile in setCPU. Will calibrate the battery a few times and see if it helps..

Is it not possible for all dev's to use a standard recovery/chargemon?
I think that would save alot of headache and would probably be easier.
Any thoughts?

It is possible, but they don't do. So if my zip works on all roms, you can simply apply your rom how it is described in the rom thread and boot it to be sure the rom works and then flash my zip. If anyone make it that way in future, everyone would have the same recovery and you wouldn't have headache :)

@OP
please mention that this WILL BREAK DATA2SD and any enhancements/addon features provide by ur current ROM

EDIT:
@OP it would be better if u can create an update.zip to take backup of current recovery and then replace it with FreeXperia recovery... also u can create another "BackToStock" update.zip to remove FreeXperia recovery and then restore original recovery...

tested on jerpelea's v15 stock, everything works except wifi which just shows error, xrecovery works fine.:)

no rebooting issues.

I have however been using this all day and battery life is good.

ok, s.th. strange happened to me, i flashed the same zip again (i haven't edited the file or moved renamed, nothing) but after that second flashing, my recovery was broken too and i got a lot of fc's like described from many others. Now i wanted to flash freexperiarecovery without kernel to see if the problem is there or by the kernel, but can't get the zip file to work. So, I'm going to sleep now, maybe i can't see anything important at the moment cause i'm so tierd. But thanks for testing it yet on some roms

    dude one suggestion... till u figure out wht went wrong... remove links to the files... atleast for the some time...

    EDIT:
    i am also downloading it right now to check for issues (if any)

    EDIT2:
    there were some missing permissions issue in update-script
    (fixed them)
    here is corrected file- [this one makes custom kernel as default during booting]

    Is FreeXperiaRecovery working?

    I'm uploading a new version with k007 and the new wifi and ar600 modules. But i can say wifi and bt isn't working in freex10 cause i have tested it yet, so i think wifi/bt isn't working in any 2.2 rom.

    Edit: uploaded

    2.6.29_FreeXperia_k007+FreeXperiaRecovery v04 - busybox in system-bin.zip - wifi/bt isn't working in 2.2 roms i think

    2.6.29_FreeXperia_k007+FreeXperiaRecovery v04 - busybox in system-xbin.zip - wifi/bt isn't working in 2.2 roms i think

    please choose the right one, cause for me it broke wifi connecting after busybox in system/bin, so i moved it back to system/xbin and it worked again. Look with any file browser where your busybox is located.

    For those on J19 the file with busybox in xbin is the right and maybe fixes the bug i heard and had by myself of the power off when display goes off.
