just reinstall recovery (xrecovery v0.0.3 or freexperia recovery) and u will be back on stock ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] baba_baba:
I am not sure if installing recovery will change the kernel. My phone has been working good after I set the cpu 245-998. Amazing battery life. Will keep Z's kernel on 2.1 until SE gives us 2.3
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
well when u reinstall recovery, ur /system/bin/chargmeon file gets replaced which "switches off" custom kernel booting... so yes restoring/reinstalling recovery will get u back to stock kernel w/o changing ur system settings OR data....
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] baba_baba:
I guess you are right but after installing the Zkernel, Xrec was gone so I installed it again using Flashtool but I still got the overclocked Z kernel (R U Mad splash and booting custom kernel verifies that along with the overclocked CPU and enhanced battery life and lot more :) And of course the ocassional Wlod ;)

Maybe because I installed XRec 0.3 using flashtool or because of the CM6BB54 patch??? Well, as long as everything works :)

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] glim9981:
So, what is the diffrent between these 2 kernels??

Do the stable kernel has oc/uv as well??
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
thank you z!

slight query in chargemon

shouldnt:

# remount rootfs rw
mount -o remount,rw rootfs /

# Umount MTDs
umount -l /cache
umount -l /data

cat /dev/input/event2 > /dev/keycheck&
sleep 3
kill -9 $!
if [ -s /dev/keycheck ]
then

be?

cat /dev/input/event2 > /dev/keycheck&
sleep 3
kill -9 $!
if [ -s /dev/keycheck ]
then

# remount rootfs rw
mount -o remount,rw rootfs /

# Umount MTDs
umount -l /cache
umount -l /data

cause the /data and /cache are getting unmounted before in enters recovery...

so if i insert the 'reboot into recovery' flag check @ if-statement the shell script can never find the flag...

i am testing the new zKernel_05072011 on FreeX10 and it seems that the kernel is NOT OVERCLOCKED... is undervolting implemented?

This is a good question.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] rodrigobauza82:
With the zKernel_22062011.zip I get a WLOD and then, bootloop... Only happens the second time that I restart the phone and thereafter. In the first one, everything goes normal. I Think it has to do with the OC feature, when the phone gets the highest frecuency, it reboots itself...

With the stable version have no problems so far...

(x10a - BB67)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] creage:
Additionally I'd like to see the list of features stable kernel provides.

netfilter - yes

fps cap removed - yes

volume fix - yes

these features I'm interested in.

BTW 2 zdzihu - is it possible somehow to force the kernel to respect the setting of delay for wi-fi scan? Coz currently it does this every minute, ignoring the setting in the build.prop. I tried different delays, but DDMS logs still show one-minute rescan.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pheel:
Umm, I think the stable version does not have OC.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] creage:
It doesn't, but it's really stable. 24 hours without single reboot. Previous, OC'd version causes up to 3-5 reboots per day.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pheel:
hmmm. I agree, apart from the fact that I'm still running the test version, and it only reboots if I use the phone really hardout, like a stress test.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Carlo_WPG:
Hi there,

I was looking at possibly installing the zKernel on my phone, however I'm hesitant. I'm running X10a (rooted, busybox installed, flashed generic rom and baseband - BB .54, Kernel: 2.6.29, Build:2.1.A.0.435).

From what I understand mixing basebands with different phone versions doesn't always work (or so I read in other parts of the XDA forums). does the .67 baseband which was geared toward the X10i work well on the the X10a, or is there a .67 baseband that was released or modded for the X10a?

I keep reading about the zKernel and a few other kernels that are making use of the .67 baseband, and I really want to install it, but I can't afford to brick my phone due to an incompatible baseband. The idea of undervolting, overclocking, and basically, getting more battery life out of the thing makes it all so tempting!

Thanks in advance :)

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Carlo_WPG:
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but I can't seem to get the kernel installed. I have installed baseband .67, installed the recomended patch that was else where in the thread through xrecovery, and then the kernel through xrecovery. I'm not seeing any changes. I took a quick snapshot of what I'm seeing for my phone's information, perhaps it will help with discovering the issue.

Although my phone can handle 1113Mhz, i still find it a battery and phone life killer.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] baz@gmx.co.uk:
for people with freeXperiaRecovery - please use this method:

1) prepare your phone (install bootkit)

2) download the kernal zip (DO NOT FLASH)

extract 2 files - boot.img & wifi.ko. (you don't need any others.

navigate to system/kernel, with root explorer re-name existing boot.img as "Oboot.img" - for me i used "O" to represent original. then do the same with the current wifi.ko (system/lib/modules) and rename that to Owifi.ko.

Now copy and paste the boot.img from Z's zip in to /system/kernel, then change the permissions (all of first column and first of the second)

now copy and paste the wifi.ko from Z's zip in to /system/lib/modules and fix the permissions on that too.

now, install DoomLords app "XperiaReboot", accept permissions etc.. then choose "reboot custom kernal"

Your phone will reboot with the kernal changed AND the wifi working.

hope this helps.

this method means that when you re-boot you will be back to stock, so if you want to stay in stock you will need to change the wifi.ko files back (re-name current custom wifi.ko to "CKwifi.ko" and then re-name "Owifi.ko" back to just wifi.ko - then just turn on airplane mode and turn it off again, this will re-start the wifi module and you will have connectivity again!!!

@Z - this kernal is amazing - thank you, still has reboot issues when pushed and overclocked. Stable version is more secure but not as swift as the o/c kernal ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] marceloboom:
yes...stable very good...thanks :D

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Carlo_WPG:
Hey just wanted to thank everyone for their assistance with getting ZKernel installed on my phone.

I re-flashed my phone back to the stock Rogers firmware/build and then rooted it and put on busy box. I installed xrecovery 0.3 apk and was having a few issues when it tried to install to the sdcard. turned out the Android folder on the SD card was turned to Read-Only for some reason. I adjusted the settings only for the folders that xrecovery 0.3 required. Attempted it again was successful! I was able to reboot the phone into xrecovery. Once I did that, I flashed .67 bb to the phone from Flashtool, and then hopped back into xrecovery to apply the patch then zkernel. Rebooted. Checked phone, and it looks like it took. I have one question - should I also be updating my build version along with the baseband? See image bellow:

The other issue I'm seeing is that the phone doesn't remain turned off when I plug the phone into the AC adapter to charge it up. I'm not sure if this is normal behavior or not. If I power the phone down, plug the a/c cable into my power bar and my phone, the phone will immediately boot up rather than going to the charging screen.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] baba_baba:
Dot worry about the build number. Looks good. XRec 0.3 is essential for this kernel and u did well.

Regarding the charging issue, you may try to boot into xrec and wipe dalvik cache and then try to charge after switching the phone off. See if it works. We all know theres an issue with chargemon and this could somehow be related.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
u may not have the "offline charging" file /system/bin/charger

Hi guys,

Here's the new beta kernel.

zKernel_15072011_beta.zip

Changelog:

- backported cpufreq interactive governor

- enabled ThumbEE CPU extension

- boot frequency increased to 1GHz

- removed 128MHz freq

I removed 128MHz frequency, because there is no evidence it's useful at all. The difference in power consumption between 128MHz and 245MHz is neligible (since these work with the same voltage). Also, there's a lot of reports it causes lags/stuttering in the menus.

If there's enough positive feedback about interactive governor, I'll include it in the stable kernel.

Cheers,

z
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] creage:
Can't agree here. Tested both your latest and 3.60 one - your kernel feels much better. On 3.60 my device issues some strange lags while working with file system. Time to time phone stops responsing, up to 5 seconds. And your kernel doesn't.

So, for 2.1 zKernel is better. BTW, no wlods/reboots since release.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Candy[MAN]:
Here is my feedback on these 2 new kernels:

14072011 Stable works great thus far. No WLOD and feels very snappy.

15072011_Beta is too unstable for me. I upgraded to 15 from 14 but I get wierd bootup procedures. When booting up I go from the U Mad screen to my bootanimation, then lock screen, back to bootanimation and then back to the lock screen. When it finally stays on the lock screen, I am greeted with singal and 3G but I have a message saying "NO SIM IN PHONE" at the bottom. If I unlock and relock screen, the message is gone. Using the phone is also very unstable. Apps FC and restart themselves (eg...starting Tapatalk and clicking XDA to read the forum would cause the program to restart itself).

I am back onto the 14072011 and working great.

Is there a recommended way to install these kernels? Is upgrading from a previous kernel sufficient or is there a way to clean out the old kernel before testing a new one?

I noticed that with both the 14 and 15 kernel, that if I go into the system folder and erase the kernel folder to go back to stock, the unit will hang on the bootanimation with the hardware LED on forever and does not go further.

Keep up the good work though as this gives my phone a new life!
