This kernel feature
- build from .55 source + fix cache formatting issue
- little mod ram disk to set minimum frequency at 192000
- on demand tweak for better battery life.
- autoroot with superSU
- Xperia boot screen

Stock+ V1
Link : http://www.mediafire.com/?5sb5352k7pz5lc5
It is unmodified STOCK kernel extract from .55 kernel.sin plus CWM with auto root functionality.
I made a little mod to ramdisk to make it auto root with SuperSU instead of Superuser. The wifi module also replace with the one from stock firmware as well. The wifi module in Advance stock Kernel is not compatible with this kernel.

The kernel work just fine but I notice some bug when I try to format cache or wipe cache it will cause your cache partition corrupt. So if you like to use unmodified stock kernel please remember NOT wipe or format cache.

Well if you already wipe/format and want to get around the problem just simply install other kernel e.g. advance stock ICS17 or my stock mod kernel list above then format cache after that reinstall unmodified stock or you can leave it as it is.


Note.
- 28/01/13 : just found a bug regarding to setcpu and antutu set at boot not appear to set both core correctly. Please give No-frills CPU control or Kernel tuner a try but remember not to use with pagasusq.
- To install by fastboot just extract kernel.elf from the zip.
- Source is outdate because I can not upload a big file. I will update source as soon as I get proper internet connection.
- Now you can update TWRP to the latest version using goo.manager or even install CWM. Check http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2173202


Feedback is appreciate.

I think this is different mate. The one you provide is not the real recovery. This is the same way people use for Locked boot loader. The recovery is locate in "system". If you format system you will loose it or if you install new ROM which has script to format system you probably loose recovery!!

Mine the recovery is not in system partition. It is loaded in ramdisk. You won't loose it even you format system.

I did it but for now it is in elf format. Please check first post.
You probably not need it because if you already rooted with ICS16 which come with superuser then the kernel will not reroot your system.

I'm still learning, could you please explain or give me some info about how you find user friendly of superuser? I read around here and lot of people said supeSU is quicker.

You can use an existing kernel zip and add this to it.

Xsx version 6 is a good one to use

It easy more than what I thought. I spent hours messing around with zImage within cwm flash-able zip of ICS16.
Finally I figure it out. Please try the CWM version of this stock kernel in first post.

You may start from the link in my first post. It is for Acro S but it should give you an idea. There is an instruction in page 5.

I use kernel kitchen to unpack and repack kernel.

It suppose to work on windows but you will need cgywin. You also need some other software like phyton 7zip java etc. If you have Linux then it will be easy to install all those software.
