hey buddy,
we never called you dumb, but fact of the matter is anyone would tell you at first glance that using the performance governor is whats causing the battery drain cuz asfaik the phone doesnt go into proper deep sleep. Btw which app are you using to overclock? I've noticed that sometimes in No-frills CPU control app the values arent always applied properly.

No frills yes. But why with stock this never happens?

No frills yes. But why with stock this never happens?

Because in stock, it scales the cpu frequencies nominally. The performance governor forces the cpu to remain at the highest possible frequency(1.7ghz) at all times. Therefore, even when there's no load, the cpu stays at 1.7ghz and drains alot of battery.

I won't turn on because a kernel is only for UNLOCKED bootloaders. Try using flashtool and see if it resurrects your phone. If not, well...it has been bricked.

hey doom, can you add contrast and gamma controls in your kernel? (Almost like franco's kernel)

if already included, please guide me in this regard.
I highly suffering from low contrast on the phone! (sry for bad english, it's G translate fault :p -If there was!- )
thank you

working on kernel right now...

next kernel release will have updated recoveries

just resynced my buildserver to latest CM sources...


CWM 6.0.4.6 compiled and tested fine... official touch CWM recovery :)

sped up rebooting into recovery from OS... no need to wait to enter into recovery when rebooting from OS...

fixed date/time stamp in recovery...

you guys want me to release this kernel or release it later after 4.3 is released (when kernel sources become available)?

ya thats what I was thinking...

releasing the kernel now...

can make ur kernel compatible for AOSP ROMS like CM11 plz plz :eek: :eek:
so i can use CM ROM with ur awesome kernel :D

i have noticed that u always release stock based kernel y not support CM roms ? CM ROMS are awesome , fast and smooth and it will become more awesome with ur kernel ofc :)

Thanks

well to tell u the truth, i use stock ROMs only... they are FAR more stable and FULLY functional compared to any CM/AOSP ROM... and i have become fond of the Sony UI... i mostly develop these kernels for my own use and better performance of the device... then i release it here on XDA...

    [ how to install my kernel ] (via recovery)

    1. download the kernel package update.zip
    2. save the package update.zip to sdcard (of phone)
    3. reboot phone and enter recovery
    4. flash the kernel package update.zip
    5. reboot phone and enjoy the kernel ;)



    [ how to install my kernel ] (via fastboot)

    1. download the kernel package update.zip
    2. save it on c:\ and extract the kernel.elf from the package
    3. save the kernel.elf to the folder containing fastboot binary
    4. flash the kernel.elf using fastboot:
      Code:
      fastboot flash boot kernel.elf
    5. reboot from fastboot
      Code:
      fastboot reboot
    6. the device should now start booting, enjoy the kernel ;)




    FOR OVERCLOCKING
    1. start SetCPU/NoFrills CPU Control app on ur phone (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



    [ tips / recommendations ]


    1. before u report any battery drain issues please read this:
      [GUIDE] HOW-TO Properly Evaluate Battery Life and Provide Useful Reports

    2. faux123 has posted very nice info regarding most features



    [ my kernel sources ]

    Just a statement regarding kernel source: The Kernel Source is released for all at GITHUB repo given below. BUT Free software does NOT mean no work or time was spent working on it. A lot of my free time has gone into patching/testing this kernel/features integrated in this kernel. If you use my modified kernel source in parts or in its entirety, I kindly ask you mention its origins and to send me a github pull request or PM whenever you find bugs or think you can help improve my kernel hack further. This way the entire community will truly benefit from the spirit of open source.

    Thank you !

    can I flash .207 with flashtool? doomkernel will be replaced yes?

    yes it will be replaced...


    so guys I am here!

    merged new sources (.207) on git... will pull it on my dev laptop and try to release a compatible kernel soon :)
