[ for modders/themers/others ]

hey guys here i am attaching a template update.zip which has been tested to work on the recovery provided here... u can add ur stuff to that file and edit the updater-script so that the u can flash ur files via this recovery...
basically it contains the correct combination of update-binary & mounting syntax...

this file is NOT required for normal/general users

TEMPLATE UPDATE.ZIP (v1)






cheers!

reserved for later

I was waiting for this some time

I just knew you would do it, thanks

dear doomlord thanks for your works, do this kernel work for users with 0% problem?

This Kernel works on IceLite AOSP. Maybe the answer is NO because this is an AOSP ROM. Sorry I´m confused about some things yet.

may be a good news...


my old kernel works (with updated ramdisk) on this new ICS-Beta:




but there are HEAVY graphics glitches...




i dont think its really fully usable... i might try a few things to clear these GFX glitches but i guess we will have to wait for SE/Sony devs to release kernel sources

once i have latest sources i can patch up my kernel sources to correctly work on it...

nope this is not a pure custom kernel... its basically stock kernel with recovery, etc...

may be u can get the 0% battery module (.ko file) from Z's ROM and use it


ok i have found the required files for making this kernel compatible with 0% battery issue users (thanks to zdzihu for the "fake_battery" service )... if anyone wants i can update the kernel to support 0% battery issue users...
