[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DooMLoRD:
hi i will soon be discontinuing support and closing down my (DooMKernel) threads for the following devices:

Xperia Ray

Xperia Mini

Xperia Mini Pro

Xperia Neo

RIGHT NOW I AM CLOSING DOWN THIS THREAD

since i only have the Xperia ARC with me, its becoming difficult for me to manage so many devices, especially since CM7 kernel will require different kernel sources (even MiUI), the task is going to get tougher for me... also I am getting busy with some personal work so wont be able to dedicate a lot of time for the devices which i dont even have...

i have asked the Xperia Play users to think abt donating a device to me...

if they want then they can do so, then i will continue work on PLAY too... but if they are not willing, then even that kernel will be closed down...

currently hartej has Xperia Ray and will be working on the kernel for that device (i will help him get started and working ;) )...

another thing, my dear friend Napstar is an awesome dev, he is currently working on Ideos X6 kernel/recovery/other stuff, i keep helping him out when ever he needs help ;)... he is willing to help me out but we will need that device with us to continue work... so if for any of the above devices you guys are willing to donate a device to him/us, i am sure he/we will continue work on kernel and much much more :)

i invite advanced users who have knowledge abt compiling kernels to contact me... i can help them out to keep the kernels up for that device...

for technical queries u can always send p.m. to me

hope u guys understand this...

regards,

DooMLoRD

---------------------------

hello guys!

i am new to kernel development but i think this kernel would be useful for a lot of ppl using stock SE 4.0.A.2.368 FW...

I DONT HAVE THE DEVICE SO NEED SOMEONE TO TEST IT!

[ features ]

[v01 onwards] added new logo!! Thanks to soheil_rf

[v01 onwards] added I/O Schedulers:

V(R)

BFQ

[v01 onwards] added CPU Governors:

Smartass

Scary

MinMax

Interactive

[v01 onwards] enabled NLS_UTF8

[v01 onwards] added user-level/runtime CPU voltage control [VDD control "sysfs interface"] (for more info keep checking this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16610299&postcount=362)

[v01 onwards] added Max frequency: :eek: 1.9Ghz :eek: (for sake of safe booting the device will always boot at min 245Mhz / max 1024Mhz)

[v01 onwards] added lots of intermediate frequencies (from 122Mhz to 1.9Ghz for almost every 100/120Mhz there is a select-able frequency)

[v01 onwards] added cpu freq thresholds to throttle CPU speeds to stock values when inside recovery

[v01 onwards] added recovery CWM v4.0.1.4 FreeXperia Team (to access recovery follow the instructions here)

[v01 onwards] {ramdisk tweak} /sd-ext also symlinked to /mnt/sd-ext

[v01 onwards] enabled SWAP support

[v01 onwards] enabled CDROM filesystem support in kernel (now u can mount ISO files)

[v01 onwards] enabled a few I/O Schedulers

noop

Anticipatory

Deadline (default)

CFQ

[v01 onwards] enabled ARM THUMBEE extensions

[v01 onwards] init.d scripts/binaries execution support

[v01 onwards] enabled support (in kernel) for many file systems

EXT2

EXT3

EXT4

NTFS (Read & Write)

[v01 onwards] enabled NFS (client & server) support in kernel

[v01 onwards] enabled CIFS support in kernel

[v01 onwards] enabled access to kernel .config (can be pulled from /proc/config.gz)

[v01 onwards] enabled TUN/TAP driver support (integrated in kernel) [VPN support]

[v01 onwards] USB-OTG support (already enabled in SE FW)

[v01 onwards] autorooting (prerooted)

kernel is insecure (ro.secure=0)

su binary & superuser.apk will automatically be installed by kernel :D (thanks to Bin4ry for posting the file RootXperia.zip; i have used the superuser files from his zip)

busybox already installed in /sbin/

busybox will get copied to /system/xbin/ if its not present there

adb server is persistent

usb debugging enabled

rootfs and /system mounted as rw (thank you Blagus for the tip ;))

enabled IPTABLES/NETFILTER support

thank you all for ur work!

[ requirements ]

stock SE 4.0.A.2.368 FW (available from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1227149 )

bootloader unlocked

working fastboot

u have read this: [How-To] Safely test custom kernels / custom ROMs and get back to stock SE 2.3 ROM

android app for overclocking like SetCPU (paid) or NoFrills CPU Control (free)

NoFrills CPU Control (free) to select I/O scheduler

VDD control app: IncrediControl

[OPTIONAL] CIFS Manager (free)

[OPTIONAL] Swapper 2 (free)

[ additional info ]

ok time for some gyan!

see each cpu/chip is different

each is unique and has different tolerances

slowly keep increasing the frequency

check its stability for 5-10 hrs

check for random reboots

check which one is best suitable for ur device

if u start getting reboots/freezes then throttle back and use lower frequencies

remember just because someone elses device was able to work at that frequency/voltage doesnt mean that ur phone can support/handle that frequency/voltage

i would recommend that u DO NOT use high frequencies for long time!

this may damage ur device!

[*]the high frequencies are just for temporary boost/benchmarks/showoff :P

[*]

you have been warned!

[ how to install ]

download the boot.img

save the boot.img in the folder with fastboot binaries (fastboot.exe files)

power down device

start device in fastboot mode

use the following command to flash the boot.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

reboot phone and enjoy the kernel ;)

FOR OVERCLOCKING

start SetCPU/NoFrills CPU Control app on ur Mini (or any other app which supports overclocking) (u may get a popup asking for SuperUser permissions, click ok/yes/allow)

now slowly increase the MAX slider to the right (one notch at a time) to increase the maximum frequency limit

DO NOT JUMP TO THE LAST POSSIBLE FREQUENCY

SLOWLY increase the frequency one notch at a time and do stability/testing for few hours

[ for modders/themers/others ]

hey guys here i am attaching a template update.zip which has been tested to work on the recovery provided here... u can add ur stuff to that file and edit the updater-script so that the u can flash ur files via this recovery...

basically it contains the correct combination of update-binary & mounting syntax...

this file is NOT required for normal/general users

TEMPLATE UPDATE.ZIP (v1)

cheers!
