• BIG THANKS TO thomassafca for the tip to disable aminations! i was not planning to release this kernel with those gfx glitches
• Fixed TouchScreen inspired from tj_style's TouchScreen porting thread & zdzhiu's ICS port for X10
• Fixed USB Storage Mounting - thanks to FreeXperia ICS kernel sources

• stock SE ICS Beta FW* (i havent tested on other ROMs so i cannot guarantee that it will work on them!) OR leaked ICS 4.1.A.0.562 FW)
• bootloader unlocked
• working fastboot

1. download the boot.img & modules update.zip
2. save the boot.img in the folder with fastboot binaries (fastboot.exe files)
3. save the 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 boot.img
   
   Code:

   fastboot flash boot boot.img

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

1. entry key is the BACK button
2. there are multiple notifications to tell u when to press the entry key:
   • LED will light up to BLUE
   • Key backlight will start glowing
   • the phone will vibrate when its waiting for keypress
3. thats it you should now enter my custom recovery

• BACK button to GO BACK
• MENU button to SELECT
• VOLUME UP button to GO UP
• VOLUME DOWN button to GO DOWN

1. start SetCPU/NoFrills CPU Control app on ur Arc (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

if u guys dont stop spamming i will be forced to close/lock down the thread...


as i told u before, i am very busy with my studies. as an when i get time i will work on the kernel. i hope u appreciate that when i was relatively free, few months back, i could easily update kernels/recoveries almost on a weekly basis. but due to my current hectic workload i am unable to get time for android development.


i have not forgotten about you guys; but sometimes preference has to be given to studies over hobbies


regards,

DooMLoRD
