Is there a solution yet ?
I wanted to flash your kernel but can't download it
Hey guys ı have a problem. My x10 doesn't boot. The Led is Red blinkin

FeraKernel v30 sudden update
Hello everybody. I suddenly decided to update my old-good kernel for X10 GB ROM.
What's new on top of v29:
- Updated CPU freq. Higher min cpu-freq for same voltage!
- Tuned sched load constants
- Built with latest linaro toolchain.

Hi, sorry to ask this, as it is silly, but with so many feralab files with me, I can't seem to remember now which ROM was latest.
Also, I was looking for a clean flash.

Many thanks Fera!!!
Hit thanks if I helped anyone!
EDIT - And yes, how can I make a CWM-flashable zip of this kernel?

[UB] FeraKernel v31
Hello x10 users. Decided to slightly update my old-good kernel.
So..what's new:
- Updated Google Snappy compression algorithm to very-latest version (should make zRAM be better)
- CGroups config updates
- CGROUP mem-res control enabled (better ram amangement)
- Enabled LZO algorithm
- Increased kernel internal clock rate from 100 to 300 HZ (same as on 2016+ flagships. makes phone faster, still battery-friendly)
- misc..
To be able to use all FeraKernel potential - install latest FeraDroid Engine. Yes. It is still optimized for x10.
UB only. Download kernel from attachment, unzip archive and flash via flashtool as usual.
Cheers...

Links didnt work. Anyone has new links?
Greetings folks. I don't know if there are some still alive x10 devices, but here's why I write here. I'm going quick - THIS is my new project. Ultimate universal Android optimizer for any device. But you know what? It still has some special support for Xperia X10 code & my kernel to make 'em fly. Peace out!
There are!
Hello,
I have just dusted off my account to say thank you. I have been a silent lurker since the good old times, when the X10 had the original 90degree swipe lockscreen.
In my household there are still two X10 alive, one in daily use. Which is in fact quite the challenge with the degrading batteries.
I would like to say thanks for your great contributions, moreover for such a very long time. :good:
Best wishes,

Little intro:
I'm not a super-professional developer, but I try to do the things I love to do in the best way. Feel free to do critics, suggestions or anything else, but be warned that this thread is created for developing/sharing purposes, so I want this area to be non-noobs zone. If you don't know what/how/why to do, just search a little bit. And don't make useless posts - if you have problem, try to provide log's & additional info. Thank you.
Now tighten your belts - we're going to fly at the speed of light!
EDIT: Last GB version of FeraKernel is v28..a big..very big step in kernel development. So to juice your GB ROM flash this version. Older kernels are not supported any more so if you have any problem make sure you flash latest version.
"History of universe":
Xperia X10 was released in 2010-03-01. It's a great device with 386MB of RAM (270MB user-available) onboard. X10 Uses modified qsd8x50 board called 'es209ra'. Heart of this SoC is armv7 1Ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU with built-in Adreno200 GPU. Latest official firmware for x10 is Android 2.3 GB. The HW setup of this phone was amazing for the time it was released. Even now there are a lot of chineese phones with similar hw setup BUT they are doble faster then x10..WHY? Because Software part of x10 realy sux. And the work I've done on kernel more than just proves this. FeraKernel - this is how it should be..Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger!

I spent a lot of time, put a lot of efforts in this kernel. Please don't just take out things and leave.. Thank you.
Peace! :good:30Ok.. Managed to deal with internal storage hack.. proof attached below.. we now have 620MB of user memory available.. 300MB for system and 6MB for cache (just for txt, recovery files).. this hack have to work for locked bootloaders aswell.. I have to try.. Market download cache is remapped to data/cache.. so no problem.. Whith this hack we can easily remap partitons.. so there wont be any troubles with JB roms low memory on disk..
We have now only one fat problem with framebuffer. when system is working..it's just fine.. but on early init it has big troubles.. I attached another screenshot of aroma instaler.. as you see it's splitted to the half same as bootlogo.. so there is nothing to do with logo.c anymore and we have to fix the fb itself.. Camera is fixed.. I tested with stabilizator - on..and it's just fine.. I will continue to deal wth fb later.. thank you for everything..
