Nurij, can I bother you with some requests? :)

I am not going to overclock gpu, because it's the main source of heating, but there are some things I would like to try.

First thing is, that 325MHz breaks sysmon gpu perflevel switching, because default step is 300MHz. I could change it in sysmon.cfg but I want to leave it compatible with stock kernel.

But as I've tested these frequencies much, I know that two extra steps would be really usefull. Except of 128/200/300/400 steps, adding 250 and 350 would be nice.
Especially 250 MHz, because 300 is enough, but 200 is slow.

What do you think? ;)

Thank you for a version of T. We should expect to TX?

Could make kernel for TX?

Many thanks

I will consider it.. What's the latest firmware version for TX?

I see... So this is the table you have in mind?

128
200
250
300
325
350 (or 365 would be better?)
400
(and overclocked ones)

I think 325 is not needed, but the frequency table can look exactly like that (with 350).
Thank you. :)

I think your kernel is one of the best ever. We, Xperia TX (LT29i) community, suffers of a lack of developpement. We'll be glad if you could make a similar kernel for the last 9.1.B.1.67 FW for Xperia TX. If it is useful, here is original 9.1.B.1.67 kernel: http://d-h.st/SCS Thanks in advance for your kindness.

really nice kernel, no wifi drops as with doomkernel and it also feels smoother, even with many apps.

using the dancedance governor, thanks for your work :)

    just asking..
    are you going to change the gpu freq table like you discussed with peetr?

    Yes, maybe in a few days.. I'm working with other things atm :)
