KTT is a kernel meant for Xperia M Single Sim variant(STOCK), with Overclock,Under volt, and Lz4 compression.
Lz4 compression isn't basically a compression meant for lower sizes, hence the decompression rates are bit faster than other compression methods, hence the initial boot is fast.


Sources/Commits : GitHub

F.A.Q

Q: Do I need unlocked bootloader for this?
A: Yes, you can't do any custom sh*t without unlocking the bootloader.

Q: Is it necessary to Overclock?
A: Depends on your needs, if you want more perfomance while gaming and stuff, you can Overlclock
Note: Kernel is already running on Intellidemand gov, whose max. frequency by default has been set to 1.3Ghz and min. to 918Mhz

Q:How do I overclock/Underclock or change the governor?
A: There are various apps in the Playstore for that, for example CPU-Controll etc.

Q: The kernel is s****g my battery, what do I do?
A: It will only S**k when it is overclocked, underclock it using some cpu controller app.

Q: Which firmware is required for the kernel?
A: 4.1.x

Q: Where do I download this thing!??
A: You can download it from the Post 4 of this thread.


Q: This thing is crappy, how do you even made this Sh*t??
A: IDC :p I'm doing all this on an old P4 machine, with very limited resources(except my net, which is fast).
So, this can be crappy, because it takes me 40 Minutes to compile one working image. Right?

How do I get this thing working/installing??

Download the ZIP, boot into the recovery and flash it, all the best!

  1. Download the ZIP KTT-V***.zip
  2. Copy the zip into your phone/sdcard
  3. Boot into your existing recovery
  4. Select install from SDCARD
  5. Then choose the sdcard you copied it to(internal or external)
  6. Flash it!

You haz released a kernel too... And im just sitting here waiting for mod to move my thread to orig android developmemt cause I accidentally posted it in general section... Just a question... Does your OC Have weird capping bug??? My max freq gets apped at 972 if I OC above 1.2ghz on my kernel, usually happens when I run a benchmark... Anyway ill give your kernel a try after work and give some feedback as well :)

Lol, yeah . Co incidence.
That happens because of voltage problem and bus frequencies. Check my OC commit you'll know the issue.

Great kernel.. Noticed the boot time difference of lz4 vs xz compression... Tested it while waiting for my kernel to finish building :sly::D

Awesome kernel mate, Really impressed.
But one problem after flashing this kernel I am not able to boot into recovery mode.
is it common? or is there any solution for this?

Not possible, it has recovery too. Doesn't the led light blink with red on phone start press volume up and it will turn to cyan.
Or adb reboot recovery.

Just flashed the Kernel via the CWM Recovery Elixer Kernel had installed (6.0.4.4 if I remember correctly),rebooted and something weird happened.
All my stock ROM s apps (which I had uninstalled using Titanium Backup) were restored as if I had never got rid of them.I had to uninstall them again
and reboot just to see everything is ok.How is this possible? Also right after reboot one of my cores was reaching 1.3GHz while the other was limited
to 1.1Ghz.Using SysTune I lowered the limit to 1.1Ghz for both.UV seemed to work ok,at least according to SysTune.

    According to SysTune and TricksterMOD the second core runs at 1.35GHz.Please take a look at this.It seems to be a bug indeed.

    Yes, I'm aware of that bug. Next release will be free of it, most probably.
