[Kernel][S & SL]Xperia SSpeed kernel v8 released|1.89GHz OC, smooth and fast [04/01]

I present to you
KA Xperia SSpeed kernel v8
04/01: Xperia SSpeed kernel v8 released & changelog updated on 3rd post
Please hit the thx button if you like my kernel :D

Dear Xperia S users,

This kernel is based on Sony's ICS stock kernel sources. I'll continue to add more features to the kernel in the future :)

This kernel is specially made for my rom: KA Xperia SSpeed. Maybe it will work on MIUI, but it should work on stock roms :)

I hope you enjoy my kernel :D

== features ==
- All featuers of ICS Advanced stock kernel (pre-rooted, recovery, init.d support etc)
- Added lot of things for better performance
- Extra governers: Pegasusq, Hotplug, Lulzactive, Smartass2, Badass, Lagfree, Interactive, Wheatly
- Extra I/O schedulars: vr, zen, row
- Voltage Control (undevolting is possible)
- 1.89GHz OC
- Zram
- And a lot more

== download == Xperia SSpeed kernel v8 ==
For Each kernel there are 3 versions:
- Normal: 1.5GHz speed recommended if you don't want overclock, but just the optimizations
- Speed: 1.7GHz, perfect if you want safe overclocking.
- Performance: 1.89GHz, this is if you are an overclocking junkie :p Don't expect it to keep your device cool, it will heat up when doing heavy games etc.

The kernel is in the folder for your device, then choose the version you'd like to download
Mediafire link: KA Xperia SSpeed kernel v8
XDA Fileserver: XDA Fileserver mirror

I kindly ask everyone not to mirror my download links. Thank you

== Important information ==
- Overclocking is a risk, be aware it can harm your device if you do things wrong. But don't worry, every freq below 1.7 Ghz won't harm your device :)
If you install a new kernel let it settle for a few hours first before overclocking to high speeds ;)

== credits ==
- Arakmar for ramdisk and all his work on advanced stock kernel
- Doomlord for his work on Xperia 2012 kernels
- Sony for kernel sources
- And everyone who helped Doomlord realizing his work ;)

== Installation instructions ==
Important! Only for unlocked bootloader
1) Flash the kernel in recovery:
2) Enjoy it!! :D
I am not responsible for damage to your device, use at own risk!
== Future Updates & changelog ==

== kernel sources ==

== Known Bugs ==
- Report them and I will try to fix them as soon as possible

Good work mate! ;)
All seems working fine!

Are you planning to add governor like smartass lagfree and interactive?

Keep up the good work
