FreeKernel-mod363 by tkymgr


Linux Kernel Version:

• 2.6.29

Kernel features:

• FPS uncaped
• Add swap on compcache

• removed Group Scheduler
• enabled ThumbEE
• use SLAB
• fixed ramdisk
• new bootlogo
• smd_rpcrouter new my patch(thanks for Z’s great work!!)
  (so, 100% stock kernel behaviour)
• enabled TUN
• enabled Netfilter
• enabled CIFS(FAT&NTFS)
• logging in droidwall(tested 1.4.2)
• can save picture with Vignette DEMO

Requirements:

• baseband .52/.65/.67 + the relevant kernel
• clean 2.1 ROM, compatible with these baseband
• clean 2.2 ROM, compatible with these baseband
• clean 2.3 ROM, compatible with these baseband
• working Recovery

[for 2.1 ROM]
FreeKernel-mod363-eclair with xrec0.3

[for 2.2 ROM]
FreeKernel-mod363-froyo with xrec0.3

[for 2.2/TripNMiUI FroYo 1.7.3]
FreeKernel mod363 miui22

[for 2.3/CM7.0.3 ROM]
FreeKernel-mod363 for CM7.0.3

[for 2.3/CM7.1.0 ROM]
FreeKernel-mod363 for CM7.1.0

[for 2.3/TripNMiUI GB 0.9.5]
FreeKernel mod363 miuiGB09



[IMP] ALL of the packages above contains a different chargemon/recovery (which might mess up ur rom)
For the sake of compatibility with the posts of this thread i will be individually posting the boot.img & wifi.ko module only... if this is unacceptable kindly send me a p.m. and i will remove those links...

Bootloader Bypass files:
{there should be no need to use any of the following files but i am just keeping them for reference sake}

There seems to be some issues face by some users, where in using an older version of miniloader helped them sort out the issues. So I will provide all those versions.
Flashable update.zip via recovery, contains miniloader & splboot.ko:

1. bootloader_bypass_files_v1.zip [slightly older miniloader] {came with older FreeXperiaKernels}
2. bootloader_bypass_files_v2.zip [older miniloader] (testing only) {came with FreeKernel by zdzihu}
3. bootloader_bypass_files_v3.zip [older miniloader] (testing only) {came with Flashtool v0.2.9.1}
4. bootloader_bypass_files_v4.zip (recommended) [newest miniloader] {comes with newer FreeXperiaKernels (from CM7 J022 K011 onwards)}

[IMP] for v4 miniloader: u need to be on the baseband from the baseband package provided in CM7 J022 for the v4 miniloader to work properly... even if u already have baseband 2.0.52 please reflash using the baseband package provided in CM7 J022...



[ I didnt get time to test these files. please post report if there was any problem to flash these files via recovery. THANKS ]
