Hi, I have a problem. Thus ICS has wifi problem. Wifi modem is 3 meters far away from me. But I can not connect well, and data goes away. Can you maybe make a modul/solution, has made ​​such Doomlords. Thanks.

hi,

want to tell 1 thing:

you can only repack ramdisk once , so you can't unpack a ramdisk that's already unpacked before.

    Advanced Stock ICS Kernel for Xperia S​
    Here is a kernel based on the Stock ICS kernel with some features which come from DoomLord's GB kernel.


    Features

    • autorooting
    • CWM recovery (with reboot recovery support)
    • init.d support (thanks DoomLord)
    • TUN/TAP driver
    Download links
    Prerequisites
    • An unlocked bootloader: Tuto here.
    • A stock ICS ROM (6.1.A.0.452 to 6.1.A.2.55). Don't expect this kernel to work with CM9/10.
    How to flash

    For elf files :
    Read DoomLord's guide
    You just have to replace kernel.elf by the name of the downloaded kernel in the flash command (eg : ics4.elf)

    For zip files:
    Flash the zip file from the recovery

    Build 17 is here !
    As promised, .55 based :)

    can i also suggest support for booting into recovery through rom manager by checking for the existence of the file /cache/recovery/boot in the same way the bootrec script does in doomlords kernel

    Done !

    New version : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12943198/ics2.elf
    - /cache/recovery/boot support
    - Improved autoroot script (copy missing files even if /system/autorooted exists)

    Build 16 is released :)

    Please let me know if you experience again random reboots...
    11
    having the same issue as well.

    It's probably because the version in default.prop is still 6.1.A.0.452. (https://github.com/Arakmar/xps-ics-ramdisk/commit/8c81ac9d7451f47d721079ee79aeda93aaece3c0)
    I'll upload a new build today.

    EDIT: Build 15 is uploaded :)
