HELLO WORLD,

thirdzcee here and once again i bring new kernel for our beloved device, i have come to a decision to stick with a modified 4.2.2 stock c2005 firmware crossflashed to my c1905 and in the process rebuilt my kernel from scratch to work with the c2005 firmware, so here it is guys, my initial release,,,, hope you guys like it....

12397719185_a1e2543ba0_o.jpg

Advanced Kernel for our Xperia M

Whats inside???

Compiled from 15.2.A.1.12 stock kernel source Now on 15.2.A.2.5 Kernel source
XZ compressed
cwm 4.0.4.5 4.0.4.6
Compiled with linaro 4.7.4 toolchain with O2 O3 optimizations
CPU overclocked to 1.4ghz 1.7ghz for more performance
CPU underclocked down to 162 mhz for more power saving during standby
GPU overclocked to 450mhz 487mhz plus 2D gpu tweaks to increase the mediocre performance of 2D graphics in our phone
GPU underclocked to 128 mhz for more battery savings when on non gprahics intensive situations/apps
intellidemand badass governor as default cpu governor
ROW sioplus as default io scheduler
dynamic fsync, a great partner to row iosched
gentle fair sleepers disabled for more responsiveness
asynchronous io latency increased
entropy random tweaks partnered with frandom module for blazing fast randomness generation
zram,optimized for android too, we just cant have enough ram.. LOL
ARCH Power & CPU Power, lets make use of the optimized arm architecture for handling multithreading rather than generic architecture handling

removed underclock - eventually sods were encountered :(
intelliactive governor added
BFQ iosched added
SIOPLUS iosched added
optimized aes & sha1 routines with support for bit sliced aes using neon intructions
vm max readahead set to 2048
enabled system wide mounting
GPU OCincreased to 487mhz, added 266mhz in between and underclocked to 128mhz
LMK tweaked,
android logger reserved memory lowered some more
some other stuff added as well but disabled from config due to wifi breakage, scumbag prima module still wont work :crying:


Release 3

Finally FIXED SOD's and random reboots, was caused by my gpu fiasco, max gpu back to 450mhz and no more 266mhz
added badass governor
added fiops iosched
added zen iosched
readahead reduced to 512kb
thermal throttle increased limit to 75 degrees (stock was 60)
increased the minimum undervolt limit just to make sure no more SOD's or random reboots :D


Release 4

cwm 6.0.4.6 touch gesture recovery added
new intelli thermal driver used over the stock thermal driver, use trickster mod to tweak it
OC up to 1.7ghz
compiled with o3 optimizations
compiled with ARM specific optimization flags
updated sources to the latest 15.2.A.2.5 kernel source
retuned the frequencies to use only effecient clock speeds


Release 5

faux sound control now working i think ( could be placebo somebody confirm, download faux sound control (paid) to test
retuned the voltages
added arm auto hotplug driver
added intelliplug to replace mpdecision (enabled by default, use trickster mod to disable mpdecision)
added usb fast charge
some more tweaks to random/entropy
enable/disable fsync (use trickster mod, phone flies with fsync and dynfsync disabled)
some more build optimizations
faster integer sqr root operation
zram tweaks
wheatley cpu governor added

how to features???
zram
Method 1, easy method
use trickster mod and turn on the zram switch, 10% of phone ram will automatically be allocated to zram

Method 2, hard but configurable method
USE ANY TERMINAL EMULATOR OF YOUR CHOICE

1)need to be root 1st so use this command
Code: 
su

2) create zram size
initialize /dev/zram0 with 96mb disksize with this command
Code: 
echo 10066329 > /sys/block/zram0/disksize

note: Disksize cannot be changed if the disk contains any
data. deactivate first before you can change its disksize.
use this formula for calculating the disksize you want
( ill use my 96mb as an example)
Code: 
96mb= 96×1024×1024)

3) activate:
Code: 
mkswap /dev/block/zram0
	swapon /dev/block/zram0


4) stats: To check if you have swap enabled
Code: 
free
and it should return something like this
Code: 
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:        506188     419736      86452          0      49404     121960
-/+ buffers/cache:     248372     257816
Swap:      1534200     100348    1433852
*its from my pc not my phone but it should look similar

5) deactivate:
Code: 
Swapoff /dev/block/zram0

I think you should disable ARCH power. I have done lots of test and found that ARCH power reduce battery life.

Battery seems fine to me... 9hours has passed, 1hour of screen time on and only 20% was drained, I have yet to verify with a continuous use though rather than a sort of checking phone from time to time method

    release 5 out!!!

    release 5 now available. i only have one request, can someone please verify sound control now works, not sure if its placebo or not but i think my phones speaker is now louder even with s-force enabled, s-force disabled makes it even more louder but i like the sound quality of s-force :), faux sound control is a paid app from the playstore and im not forcing anyone to buy it, you can modify the sound settings using a text editor and a root explorer, just navigate to /sys/kernel/sound_control and modify the values of speaker or headphone, or you can get the sound control app by some other means if your lazy to manually edit the parameters :silly::eek:
