[KERNEL] [ICS] [Stock WIFI restore] Stock ICS w init.d support+root+cwm! [25-May]

---

Latest Kernel mod -> Go Here
Based on 4.1.B.0.431 ICS 4.0.4 Kernel, features new CPU governors and autoroot.


Q. Who would benefit from this?
Those who want to stick to stock kernel for Official ICS (4.1.A.0.562), but would still want to get the benefits of init.d scripts, and native root access!
I personally feel ICS stock kernel is more battery friendly than Night-elf RC2 kernel.

Q. Features?
- init.d support (credits DooMLoRD for showing the way)
- ro.secure=0 (that is now adb has native root access!)
- clockworkmod 5.5 (credits Night-elf)
- no other changes to stock kernel
- zImage changes not possible as source is not available from SONY

boot_stock_ICS_initd_root_cwm_v2.img
Changes: CWM 5.5, with ADB & USB mount (credits Night-elf)


Q. How to install?
Just as you install a custom kernel.

If no wifi, just delete "modules_version" and "modules_reversion" in "/system/lib/modules" and reboot
Steps:
1. Follow this guide to install official ICS + root
(Do not install CWM)
2. If you already have DooMLoRD/nAa CWM, go to /system/bin with any root explorer and delete recovery.tar and chargemon
3. Power down device and get into FASTBOOT MODE -> switch off device hold menu key & plugin usb. (LED notification turns BLUE)
4. check fastboot with "fastboot devices"
5. flash boot image
fastboot flash boot boot.img
6. Reboot with "fastboot reboot"
7. Enjoy!

Very good work
when going to overclock, swap?
You can make a support for swap too?

Very thankful for this kernel

Thanks a lot!!

Waiting For Dual-Boot Kernal

Battery is a bit issue on all ICS rom. But I almost get 80% off that in GB. 100% battery runs almost 1d 12hr+.
Currently on nightelf kernel. Will give the stock kernel a shot. Will report in a week.

If You were using Nightelf's kernel, You have to restore stock wifi modules.
