[Kernel] SEtweak

[Blagus]

SEtweak kernel for Xperia S.

Intro:
I know I failed last time (with Play - it was stolen) and left development. But let's be serious this time.
Since it'll take a bit to set up everything again, I've taken DooM's ramdisk (hope you don't mind) for the first test.
Note: I don't have the device so I can't test it. If you want to, you can donate via Donate button on the left.


Sony finally published everything we need to build kernel.

Due to some possible bootloader problems, kernel might not work.
Features:
Codepage 852 (purely selfish reasons )
NLS UTF-8 (Native Language Support)
NTFS support
TUN/CIFS support
Default governor set to 'ondemand'
Prerooted
init.d support

Coming soon:
More governors
Recovery

Download: be patient

Best regards,
Blagus

Don't bother Blagus. At this point, you can't really use a custom boot image due to a bootloader bug.

Really? Any more info on that?

It seems to affect some units at this point, I know of others which can boot just fine though using the instructions provided by Sony. This is the one thing preventing CM9 porting at this point.

hi defer,
what is the bug exactly?

i faced some issues yesterday when testing out kernels on a users device...

whenever we tried hotbooting the kernel (fastboot boot kernel.elf) the bootloader always returned "Wrong range" even though i used exactly the same ranges as given by Sony....

the test kernels are posted here:

if anyone wants to try them

I don't know the specifics of the bug, but it's in the bootloader it might be anything really, no way to know. However, what happens is that the bootloader is able to boot signed kernel.sin files but not the unsigned kernel.elf
