[ 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 !

I had problems with unlocking bootloader, my internal SD went bonkers, took me a while to fix it. But it's worth it, with faux123 kernel enhancement project I could lower voltages and downclock GPU speeds when gaming. It's running MUCH cooler now when gaming ;) Thanks again DooMLoRD for porting this over to ZL. I just hope the next 700mV voltage tables would come here too :)

I flashed your advanced stock kernel in order to update to cwm 6.0.3.0, and then flashed your doomkernel 3.0. But your doom kernel did not.get applied. Tried 3 times. Twice with a dalvik wipe, and once without. And neither time does it install. It flashes properly (or so it seems), but upon reboot it leaves me.wwith.the advanced stock kernel still.

I don't expect it would be this quick to update! Kudos to you DooMLoRD ;)

SIO and wheatley work well by the look of it, but in faux123 kernel enhancement app when I force the GPU to run fullspeed with performance governor it just locks up and reboot

Anyhow should I enable mpdecision on your kernel?

@DooMLoRD
This might be not the right thread but I thought the best would be to ask a well known kernel developer. I currently having an Acro S and I'm considering buying either an Xperia Z or Xperia ZL. Is there any difference between these 2 models. E.g. would it be possible to run kernels and roms developed for one on the other without any adaptations?
Thanks
