Flashed the v3.1 Stock and EVERYTHING works as it should be!
Smooth,lag free,fast booting,all storages recognized properly.
There's a WIDE variety of Governors to use (Awesome!)
Finally,hands on the Lulzactiveq governor! :good: I'll get to test it right away!
Thank you so much Dev!!!! :good::good::good::good:
Keep up the excellent work! :D

Ps:What's new on the 3.0.71 Kernel?
Is there a place a could get something like a change log? Just asking!

check this out..-->https://www.kernel.org/

it says the latest stable kernel is 3.8.5 why is it that your kernel was at 3.0.71?

because there is no source for ux500 chipset so he survive with kernel 3.0.x

I'm glad everything is working as it should be, Xperia P and U users are reporting issues, I'm happy here no one is complaining :D
For those who are having mounting issues, try a different port, different cable, remove device drivers from your pc then re-install them, that should fix the issue ;)

As for kernel version, this is how linux kernel tree works:
3.0
| \ 3.0.1 - 3.0.2 - 3.0.3... 3.0.8 (the one Sony uses) -3.0.9 - 3.0.10 .... 3.0.71 (the one I'm using)
|
3.1
| \3.1.1-3.1.2 ....
|
3.2
The main line of the kernel is 3.x, every version that has a "y" (i.e. 3.x.y) the "y" refers to fixes from new versions backported. While I was applying those updates some of the patches had code that is included for patches in the 3.4 kernel, so the one Sony is using is old, but when the phone was out that was the newest version, I don't know why companies don't update their kernel's when a software update is released.
and I can't update the kernel to 3.8 because it needs a lot of code to be included and needs the manufacture to write it, they know best about the hardware they are selling :)

Hey guys I'm gonna be a bit late in reading all comments and taking necessary action because of one simple reason: Yesterday at 3 PM electricity went off in all Damascus because of major issue in electricity lines of the south parts in Syria, and until now it's not properly back, we still have blackouts, and my build machine is at home (while now I'm writing this reply from my laptop and I'm at the mall, so there is electricity :p)
once everything is back to normal I will go back to work :)

Tried flashing it 2 times so far, keeps making the phone unusable. It can't boot. I just reset it, fastboot, install older working kernel again and it boots.

Am i doing something wrong here?

It's stock ICS .54, jb experience v2. Others reported that it works without problems on it.

edit: Found it, was an error on my side after all. Sorry!

    Version 4 (Stock ONLY) Change Log
    • ICS kernel links for CM9.1 & Stock included in Download section of this post.
    • v4 is for Stock JellyBean ONLY. v3.x & v2 are for ICS ONLY
    • Based on FXP source code for CM10
    • All features of ICS kernel included
    • All Governors & IO Schedulers of ICS kernel also included (maybe I missed on or two, but the important ones are there :) )
    • irq: Set CPU affinity as soon as the irq thread is created [1]
    • ARM: decompressor: Enable unaligned memory access for v6 and above [2]
    • Source code will be uploaded tomorrow :)
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Explanation for [1] & [2]
    • [1] In an embedded target where IRQ affinities are pre-configured during
      boot-time (and not modified through /proc/irq/../smp_affinity) during
      run-time, the extra latency due to irq_thread_check_affinity can be
      avoided during processing of the first interrupt with this patch.

    • [2] Modern GCC can generate code which makes use of the CPU's native
      unaligned memory access capabilities. This is useful for the C
      decompressor implementations used for unpacking compressed kernels.

      This patch disables alignment faults and enables the v6 unaligned
      access model on CPUs which support these features (i.e., v6 and
      later), allowing full unaligned access support for C code in the
      decompressor.

      The decompressor C code must not be built to assume that unaligned
      access works if support for v5 or older platforms is included in
      the kernel.

      For correct code generation, C decompressor code must always use
      the get_unaligned and put_unaligned accessors when dealing with
      unaligned pointers, regardless of this patch.

This kernel got 600+ downloads for v3.3 (and 10$ donations which I'm really grateful for :) donations are calculated for each version.), I really appreciate it if at least each one of you guys donate a 1$ so I can afford paying for the plane ticket :).

    who said I "dislike " this kernel??? I like it, a lot!... its the best I found so far. What I would like is to have back CWM touch with this Kernel.
    Tought I could just install CWM touch 5.5, but I can not. That is why I asked for the dev help. No offense pretended.

    no offence taken my friend, itachilinux point was:
    Kernel development takes lots of time and hardwork, and no one on this forum is forcing people to use specific kernel / rom / mod ..etc
    so if someone doesn't like what he got from a certain kernel / rom / mod on this forum he can simply use another one without providing a feedback with negative attitude.

    I'm not talking about your comment where you asked for the CWM touch version you have the right to add requests, but I've seen lots of negative attitudes from users and some from Recognized devs trying to just devastate someone to push him to a point where he stops doing what he is doing (and it happened on S3 forum a dev pulled out all of his work for the S3 just because of such attitudes)
    a recognized dev on xperia p started rating my kernel as bad, and attacking, because his kernel was the best custom kernel before I came and made my Sliding_XP, that's when competition started for him.


    I'm still trying to find a way to bypass the block Google put on Syrian IP Addresses preventing them from accessing AOSP servers. For now I will do what @pukhrajsoni suggested, make a version without recovery so you guys can install the touch recovery, hopping I can find a way to be able to download CWM source code and apply the touch patch on it and include it in my kernel :)


    Remember we are here to help and get help :)
