[ NOTICE ]


from v02 onwards just flash the kernel package through recovery and wifi modules will automatically be updated!!

• since i have changed the kernel version string stock wifi modules will no longer work on my kernel...
• if u try to enable them on my kernel u will get "ERROR" while starting WIFI...
• i will be providing modules for my kernel which HAVE TO BE FLASHED VIA RECOVERY for wifi/bt (and other things) to work correctly
• stock modules will also be provided which again will have to be flashed via recovery if u want to return to stock kernel
  
  
  
  
• remember i have already told this to u guys... if i see some users reporting that wifi is giving error because u did not follow my instructions ur post WILL BE IGNORED....

some user may still suffer from "ERROR" while starting WIFI, even after flashing the correct modules via recovery, that is because of the initial pre-rooted system.img files, which dont have any space left on the system partition... to solve this issue reflash the stock system.sin thru fastboot or thru flashtool... my kernel will auto-root it so u dont need to worry about rooting and now u will have space to flash the wifi modules...
(thanks to kazuni for pointing it out here)

[ how to install my kernel ] (v02 onwards) {NEW}

1. download the kernel package update.zip (it contain the updated wifi modules)
2. save the package update.zip to sdcard (on 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 ] (v01 or LOWER) {OLD}

1. download the kernel.elf & wifi modules update.zip
2. save the kernel.elf in the folder with fastboot binaries (fastboot.exe files)
3. save the wifi modules update.zip to sdcard (on phone)
4. power down device
5. start device in fastboot mode
6. use the following command to flash the kernel.elf
   

   fastboot flash boot kernel.elf

   OR
   
   

   fastboot -i 0x0fce flash boot kernel.elf

7. reboot phone and enter recovery
8. flash the wifi modules update.zip for my kernel
9. reboot phone and enjoy the kernel

[ how to get back to stock kernel ]

1. download the stock wifi modules update.zip
2. extract the kernel.sin file from the stock FTF u used to flash this fimware (use 7zip to open the FTF)
3. save the kernel.sin in the folder with fastboot binaries (fastboot.exe files)
4. save the wifi modules update.zip to sdcard (on phone)
5. reboot phone and enter recovery
6. flash the stock modules update.zip
7. power down device
8. start device in fastboot mode
9. use the following command to flash the kernel.sin
   

   fastboot flash boot kernel.sin

   OR
   
   

   fastboot -i 0x0fce flash boot kernel.sin

10. reboot phone and thats it u should now be on stock kernel

OR


use the Advanced Stock Kernel posted here



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. for better battery life try undervolting... start off in steps of -25mV and see which is stable for u... for my phone -100mV was stable...
   
   
2. before u report any battery drain issues please read this:
   [GUIDE] HOW-TO Properly Evaluate Battery Life and Provide Useful Reports
   
   
3. faux123 has posted very nice info regarding most features

this will work on any of the current GB firmwares of Sony (.63/.67/.73)

wait i will update first post!!


please use this thread for reporting issues/bugs ONLY

Everything works fine (touch recovery is nice) only issue is that your Wifi modules are not working on 67 UK FW. I just get an error written under the Wifi toggle in settings.

hmmm... u mean the stock wifi modules package? or my kernel's wifi modules?

also post output of this:

adb shell md5sum /system/lib/modules/bcm4330.ko

the output should be:

6b0186d43b54207e54c509a795035ad4  /system/lib/modules/bcm4330.ko

if not then reflash the modules update.zip using recovery

BTW i have done testing on the 6.0.A.3.73 SG firmware
