[KERNEL][RAY] DooMKernel [NO LONGER MAINTAINED]

hi i will soon be discontinuing support and closing down my (DooMKernel) threads for the following devices:

• Xperia Ray
• Xperia Mini
• Xperia Mini Pro
• Xperia Neo

RIGHT NOW I AM CLOSING DOWN THIS THREAD

since i only have the Xperia ARC with me, its becoming difficult for me to manage so many devices, especially since CM7 kernel will require different kernel sources (even MiUI), the task is going to get tougher for me... also I am getting busy with some personal work so wont be able to dedicate a lot of time for the devices which i dont even have...

i have asked the Xperia Play users to think abt donating a device to me...
if they want then they can do so, then i will continue work on PLAY too... but if they are not willing, then even that kernel will be closed down...


currently hartej has Xperia Ray and will be working on the kernel for that device (i will help him get started and working )...


another thing, my dear friend Napstar is an awesome dev, he is currently working on Ideos X6 kernel/recovery/other stuff, i keep helping him out when ever he needs help ... he is willing to help me out but we will need that device with us to continue work... so if for any of the above devices you guys are willing to donate a device to him/us, i am sure he/we will continue work on kernel and much much more


i invite advanced users who have knowledge abt compiling kernels to contact me... i can help them out to keep the kernels up for that device...

for technical queries u can always send p.m. to me


hope u guys understand this...


regards,

DooMLoRD


---------------------------


hello guys!

finally i got time to publish this kernel, i think this kernel would be useful for a lot of ppl using stock SE 4.0.A.2.368 FW...

THANKS TO Jozinek FOR TESTING IT ON HIS DEVICE

[ requirements ]

• stock SE 4.0.A.2.368 FW (available from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1253112)
• bootloader unlocked
• working fastboot
• u have read this: [How-To] Safely test custom kernels / custom ROMs and get back to stock SE 2.3 ROM
• android app for overclocking like SetCPU (paid) or NoFrills CPU Control (free)
• NoFrills CPU Control (free) to select I/O scheduler
• VDD control app: IncrediControl
• [OPTIONAL] CIFS Manager (free)
• [OPTIONAL] Swapper 2 (free)

[ additional info ]

ok time for some gyan!

• see each cpu/chip is different
• each is unique and has different tolerances
• slowly keep increasing the frequency
• check its stability for 5-10 hrs
• check for random reboots
• check which one is best suitable for ur device
• if u start getting reboots/freezes then throttle back and use lower frequencies
• remember just because someone elses device was able to work at that frequency/voltage doesnt mean that ur phone can support/handle that frequency/voltage
• i would recommend that u DO NOT use high frequencies for long time! this may damage ur device!
  [*]the high frequencies are just for temporary boost/benchmarks/showoff
  [*]you have been warned!

[ how to install ]

1. download the boot.img
2. save the boot.img in the folder with fastboot binaries (fastboot.exe files)
3. power down device
4. start device in fastboot mode
5. use the following command to flash the boot.img
   
   Code:

   fastboot flash boot boot.img

6. reboot phone and enjoy the kernel
7. FOR OVERCLOCKING
   1. start SetCPU/NoFrills CPU Control app on ur RAY (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

[ 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!
