## xKERNEL##

First Thing First: How To Install Custom Kernel
1) You need to UNLOCK BOOTLOADER using one of these method. I'm NOT responsible of what you've decide. Please follow instruction carefully.
-> S1tool
-> Sony Mobile - Unlock Bootloader
2) Get this awesome tool called Flashtool and install. Dont forget to install usb drivers from "Drivers" folder too.
3) I assume you have download one of my kernel. Get into Fastboot mode. How? Do i have to repeat how? Press "Volume Up" while connecting your USB cable. you'll see Blue led.
4) Click "Flash" button on Flashtool, then select Fastboot Mode.
5) Choose "Select Kernel to Flash" and find your saved kernel. I'm not gonna find it for you.
6) Once completed, reboot device into system

THESE IS FINAL, NO LONGER MAINTAINED

HTML:

Those version below was a final version xKernel for Xperia Ray. I might on a new
device next week due someone already booked my ray. Ive planned to give the
last version using 4.1.B.0.587 but unfortunately source published by Sony was
corrupted. Sorry guys, i cant afford to keep my ray. This is it.
Thank you for using my kernel.

[SOLUTIONS]

[ SOLUTION: Graphic Performance ]

For those who using my kernel (ics beta kernel source build) may have some low performance in Official ICS (.562 FW). Trick to get better graphic performance :

1. Goto to Adreno Driver Thread by arcatarc
2. Download GpuDriverICS_4.1.A.0.562.zip and put in your SD
3. Flash OriginalAdrenoICSSony_4.1.A.0.562.zip using CWM.
4. Booting up
5. Enjoy some graphic improvement!

thanks to arcatarc for his update.zip
and hansip87 for found solution
please dont be lazy to hit the button for their effort.

Last night I was thinking, hey, when sirkay makes his kernel thread I ought to ask for sio scheduler.

... so here I am asking

Installing this touch recovery thing anyway, sounds like fun!

SOLUTIONS: Zram | Wifi Channel 12-14

[ SOLUTION: How to make simple ZRAM init.d script ]
1. Using Root Explorer, got to /sytem/etc/init.d/
2. press Menu then create new file
3. paste these in it

Code:

#!/system/bin/sh
sysctl -w vm.swappiness=60
echo '1' > /sys/block/zram0/reset
echo $((60*1024*1024)) > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
mkswap /dev/block/zram0
swapon /dev/block/zram0

4. close and save it as 99zram
5. set permission to 777 or "rwxrwxrwx" (tick all)
6. take note: 60*1024*1024 = 60MB zram disksize. if you want to set 30MB, change 60 to 30.

[ SOLUTION: To Enabled Wifi Channels 12-14 ]
1. using Root Explorer, goto /system/etc/init.d
2. open one of your init.d scripts, i suggest first in the list (Menu > Open in text editor)
3. paste line below

Code:

sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db "INSERT INTO secure (name, value) VALUES ('wifi_country_code', 'JP');"

4. close and save
5. reboot
note: to enabled channel 12-13 just change "JP" to "EU" or "ES"

I noticed that the touch recovery is set at 4mb sd cache, what's the best way to find out whats the best for my card? I'm using a class 4 32gb and I get those annoying soundbugs whilst listening to music in every set, 128, 1024, 2048 and 4096.
Thanks in advance

sirkay · Mar 13, 2012

using root explorer, goto /system/etc/init.d, create new file name it as "75sdcard". paste this script and save. set permission to 777 (rwxrwxrwxr using root explorer). then reboot.
let see if it remove your soundbug.

You got that sound bug? I thought it only resides on slower CPU phone :/ I don't get a sound bug with 2048 kb set (only when the CPU is too stressed, some audio bug may occured, but not as bad as my old X10 Mini Pro)

Some general rule of thumb, SD class 6 and/or faster, 2048 kb and up. SD class 4 and/or slower, 1024kb and less.

Hey sirkay, you need to add some caution though when flashing these kernels. It seems that the kernel.is preloaded with busybox and root, but not the newest one. So it was lagging my phone (sudden freeze). My solution is to uninstall and reinstall busybox from market and fix root by updating it.

Does this work only on ICS? Can it be used on GB custom roms like rayonium?

Sirkay, You just WON....

...Awesome...

Touch Recovery ??

.... You didnt let Ray users bow to Arc users... Thumbs up mate...

---------- Post added at 07:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 PM ----------

Btw.. Is there anyway you can remove that Back and maybe Menu button...?

Not necessary but just asking coz ARC users have the benefit as they dont have touch keys but we Ray users already have touch and Menu back button.....

EDIT: Sorry That circle button is for click.. Thats Great.. I always hated pressing home key for a tap... I guess Back button is fine to remove...

ijama · Mar 13, 2012

Thank you for a great works. Working perfect here..init.d now working..

none
