BIG FAT WARNING:
Before cracking the bootloader, keep in mind that this process cannot be undone (until today) so your phone might not be accepted by SE if warranty is needed.

Who gives a F#CK about warranty?! I prefer bricking it on the attempt instead of letting it rot with the old kernel!

Good job as always mate! Now I need to set up windows on virtual box :p


Friendly regards, D_d

Okay... Interesting feature.. Not my taste, but well.. I think that is what we have the yes/no warning for :)

Yeap true,

The same feature is also included on every straight port of CWM.
Koush also kept it in CWM 5!

On-topic:

Just managed to find a decent windows pc to unlock and flash. I don't know if there are any tweaks involving speed etc, however it feels snapier than before.
Don't seem to find any other bug, except from the known ones.

nAa : Flashtool does not recognize any .ftf file , why? before was working well. I try 0.2.8 & 0.2.9 , still not working.

EDIT: Wroking now, put .ftf files on firmware folder LOL

It is faster to boot for sure due to getting rid of the chroot hacks ;)
Also integrated recovery means that you cannot brick this device easily...

    • Upgraded to Linux kernel version: 2.6.29.6
    • Ported various components from 2.6.35 / 38

    • Netfilter support / AP support / Usb tethering
    • Swap support
    • Tun/Tap
    • Mddi fix
    • Ext3/4 support
    • Modules auto-copying at boot
    • Dual touch options:
      - Fake dual touch in kernel (thanks to andrej456) (default)
      - Modular fake dual touch in kernel (thanks to doixanh)
      - Modular no dual touch
    • Many CPU freq governors to chooce from: interactive, interactivex, minmax, smartass, smartass2, scary and savagedzen
    • Modular Undervolt
    • NOOP ioscheduler
    • TINY RCU
    • DM_CRYPT_GLOBAL_WORKQUEUES
    • Ramzswap for compcache
    • Offline charging embedded in the kernel
    • Stable and fast oveclocked frequencies (not enabled by default)
    • Frequency table: 19MHz - 864MHz
    • Default CPU governor: interactive
    • Two way call recording (might be against the law for some countries, you are responsible for using this feature)
    • Interface Stat support for ICS
    • Memory management and binder improvements from gb kernel
    • Many, many feature and stability patches from various kernel sources
    • ICS DRM support

    IMPORTANT:
    • For wifi to work, the ROM MUST have Wifi built from sources as in CM. If this is not the case, the Wifi WONT work, DON'T compain here about that.
    • For vibration, the ROMs need to use the gb implementation.

    FAQ:
    If you have any issues, please read the FAQ thread first: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1266911

    Requirements:

    Install:
    • Backup
    • Unlock your bootloader as described here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17384177&postcount=3 or here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1254225
    • Download the kernel ftf file from here and move it to Flashtool\firmwares so that Flashtool can pick it up
    • Flash the kernel via Flashtool
    • Reboot and check Settings -> About Phone:

    [KERNEL] nAa-kernel-02 Custom Gingerbread kernel + CWM Recovery

    Notes:

    Dualtouch:
    • If you want to enable the fake DT by dx (instead of andrej456's which is the default), you have to insert the following line in the /system/etc/hw_config.sh file:
      insmod /system/lib/modules/synaptics_i2c_rmi4_dt.ko
    • If you want to remove the fake DT altogether, insert the following line in the /system/etc/hw_config.sh file:
      insmod /system/lib/modules/synaptics_i2c_rmi4_no_dt.ko
    23
    nAa-13 released. Changelog:
    • CWM Recovery 5.0.2.8
    • Fixed boot into recovery issues
    • Latest gingerbread busybox and init
    • Panic timeout set to 1sec for shakira

    Enjoy!
