DooMKernel v04 released!


Happy new year everyone!


Changelog


  • updated to CWM 6.0.4.6 - official touch CWM recovery :)

  • sped up rebooting into recovery

  • fixed date/time stamp in recovery




please take a backup of your system before flashing the kernel! and clear data of overclocking apps before flashing kernel! else you will get major bootloops!



Please do consider donating if you like my work!



download links at first post! please test it out and let me know!



regards,

DooMLoRD
Thank you for your work doomlord. You've done so much especially with the rooting process and with your different guides on rooting and BL unlocking (which was very very helpful).

I'd love to try your kernel but whenever I flash it either thru the recovery of via fastboot I still get bootloops. I cleared setcpu data and uninstalled it, I cleared the cache and dalvik cache but I still get bootloops. Am I missing something crucial here? Thank you very much for your help

v04 installed via CWM. No problem.

I overclocked the phone, seems to work for the moment.
Edit : I've done an AnTuTu test and the XSP is rebooting when it comes to test the CPU. :eek:

The touch CWM is really cool and I have no issue on my device.

The bootlogo is quite cool too but I prefer the sober "Sony" logo.

Anyway, good work and thanks a lot.

Edit:

I also tried and formatted /data and did a full wipe but I still have bootloops

two recoveries not enough for u?

no problem now we have 3 recoveries in my kernel!!!


Added PhilZ touch recovery as a THIRD select-able recovery :D
Thank you @Phil3759 for your awesome work!


(though the "touch" component is right now not correctly working, but rest of the advanced recovery options are work well!)


all this awesomeness will be available in next kernel release!

so as per tradition, multi-recovery solutions powered by DooMKernel :)


regards,

DooMLoRD

    [ how to install my kernel ] (via recovery)

    1. download the kernel package update.zip
    2. save the package update.zip to sdcard (of phone)
    3. reboot phone and enter recovery
    4. flash the kernel package update.zip
    5. reboot phone and enjoy the kernel ;)



    [ how to install my kernel ] (via fastboot)

    1. download the kernel package update.zip
    2. save it on c:\ and extract the kernel.elf from the package
    3. save the kernel.elf to the folder containing fastboot binary
    4. flash the kernel.elf using fastboot:
      Code:
      fastboot flash boot kernel.elf
    5. reboot from fastboot
      Code:
      fastboot reboot
    6. the device should now start booting, enjoy the kernel ;)




    FOR OVERCLOCKING
    1. start SetCPU/NoFrills CPU Control app on ur phone (or any other app which supports overclocking) (u may get a popup asking for SuperUser permissions, click ok/yes/allow)
    2. now slowly increase the MAX slider to the right (one notch at a time) to increase the maximum frequency limit
    3. DO NOT JUMP TO THE LAST POSSIBLE FREQUENCY
    4. SLOWLY increase the frequency one notch at a time and do stability/testing for few hours



    [ tips / recommendations ]


    1. before u report any battery drain issues please read this:
      [GUIDE] HOW-TO Properly Evaluate Battery Life and Provide Useful Reports

    2. faux123 has posted very nice info regarding most features



    [ my kernel sources ]

    Just a statement regarding kernel source: The Kernel Source is released for all at GITHUB repo given below. BUT Free software does NOT mean no work or time was spent working on it. A lot of my free time has gone into patching/testing this kernel/features integrated in this kernel. If you use my modified kernel source in parts or in its entirety, I kindly ask you mention its origins and to send me a github pull request or PM whenever you find bugs or think you can help improve my kernel hack further. This way the entire community will truly benefit from the spirit of open source.

    Thank you !
