THIS IS ONLY FOR TELUS FASCINATE ( SGH-T959D )
I have tried many time to compile without success, so after having a small talk with TK-Glitch, he told me that he already had compiled his kernel for us ^^. So i decided to post here the kernel and his future update.
All credits goes to Tk-Glitch and his team. If you like this kernel, thanks him or give him some money. The only thing i did was to make this thread xD
Do you want to discuss on this kernel, get the fresh news on development, or become a kernel tester ?

These kernels are provided as-is without warranty. I'm not responsible for any problem you can encounter with your phone or if your cat suddenly dies.
Although, don't expect support even if I will eventually help since I love cats.
Note : These kernels are only compatible with CM7 and MIUI roms !
Overview :
- Up to 1.7GHz CPU OC with added bus/GPU OC (Thanks to morfic for the great base of work)
- Undervolting using Pimp my CPU or Voltage Control
- Voodoo Sound - & Voodoo Color, using VC versions (Thanks Supercurio & renaudallard)
- FPS uncap (Screen running 68Hz instead of 60Hz, from 56 to 66 FPS max) from JPX source
- Various tweaks for more smoothness and reliability
- LED notifications
CHANGELOGS IN #2 POSTThe frequency/voltage & informative UV settings table is as follow for latest kernel :
Note that these UV settings will be unstable on many devices. It's only informative.
1700 MHz - [email protected] 243 MHz - 1.500v / -> Most phones will fail here. -25 to -50mV may help to stabilize. Much stabler as unique frequency for benchmarks.
1600 MHz - [email protected] 229 MHz - 1.500V / -> That's high and many devices will fail on this frequency. Find working UV for you if any.
1500 MHz - [email protected] 250 MHz - 1.500V / -25mV
1440 MHz - [email protected] 240 MHz - 1.475V / -50mV
1400 MHz - [email protected] 233 MHz - 1.450V / -50mV
1300 MHz - [email protected] 217 MHz - 1.400V / -50mV
1200 MHz - [email protected] 200 MHz - 1.350V / -50mV
1000 MHz - [email protected] 200 MHz - 1.250V / -50mV - If you have stability issues, try to let this one by default.
800 MHz - [email protected] 200 MHz - 1.200V / -75mV
400 MHz - [email protected] 200 MHz - 1.050V / -100mV
200 MHz - [email protected] 200 MHz - 0.950V / -150mV
100 MHz - [email protected] 100 MHz - 0.950V / -200mV - (can be very different between two devices)
GPU frequency is linked to bus speed
More volts is not always equal to more stability. Try to add more UV (less volts) if the frequency you're trying to achieve is unstable.
Considering all phones will respond differently to OC/UV, to tweak the values to suit your device will be required.
By default, no overclock/undervolt is applied. You'll need to use one of the tools below to adjust the frequencies and voltages.
Note : Never ever use SetCPU with this kernel. You could encounter many stability problems like random reboots or bootloops.

Glitch kernel
Telus Fascinate version :
- 14/07/2011 - V11 (Low leakage)
- 14/07/2011 - V11 (Medium leakage)
- 14/07/2011 - V11 (High leakage)
OLDER RELEASESFTP ROOT (all kernels are here)
FAQ :
What are the differences between High, Medium and Low leakage ?
All produced chips aren't equal, and some will be "better shaped" than others, using power more efficiently and heating less. This new concept I added in V11 tends to cover most chips, depending on their quality.
The idea is to modify some internal voltage values of the SoC to help a good CPU in a poor environment (GPU/controller/memory) to shine. Of course it won't do miracles if your CPU is poor to begin with, but it's a very rare case.
Low leakage chips are the best on the paper, needing less volts and heating less than others.
High leakage represents the majority of produced chips in our SGS.
I found with beta testers that even if a chip looks poor at OC/UV at first, it'll generally have much potential still. I was able to get a 1.2GHz no UV max stable GS to 1.5GHz -50mV rock solid, and even able to push 1.7GHz for benchmarking and other tests using this new concept.
Of course this is all new and it'll take some time and heavy testing to find best settings for most devices, but I think it's a very interesting thing, and I hope I'll be able to find a way to change modes on-the-fly, making this function a must in the future especially in OC/UV kernels.
How do I enable logcat in V11+ ?
In V11, the logger is now built as a module to lower overhead and to help battery life.
To enable it, just open a terminal emulator and type "logcat-on", then reboot.
To disable it, type "logcat-off" instead. (without quotes !)
I get reboots when I try to load Voodoo Sound module !
This function, available in Voodoo Control Plus app, is ONLY for kernels NOT SUPPORTING Voodoo Sound (like stock CM7 kernel for example). You'll only generate conflicts trying to load this module. Voodoo Sound is built-in on Glitch kernel and nothing more has to be loaded for it to work.

Changelogs :
Changelogs :
V5
19/04/2011 - V5A - Initial release
21/04/2011 - V5B :
- GPU overclock on 1.3 GHz added (217MHz / +8.5% from default)
- New PMEM settings for more available RAM compared to V5A (now 328MB)
- Stability fixes for all frequencies, needing globally less volts. Results may vary depending on the device
- Switched to Conservative governor by default (still switchable by app). It can feel less responsive coming from idle but more battery saving, and plays better with high frequencies.
- New voltage table. Default settings should be stabler for most devices.
- Switched to 4.4.3 toolchain for added stability on some sensitive devices
Captivate and Vibrant support will come later. It will need more time than expected.
21/04/2011 - V5C : Small update to fix a bootloop issue on some devices.
V6
WIP
22/04/2011 - V6pre - preview/work in progress of upcoming V6A update *test* :
- Reverted PMEM settings to new CM7 default (317MB - same as V5A)
- Reverted some stability fixes that weren't that stable on some devices, or even prevented some to boot
- New voltage table for a more linear increase, improving stability at default settings
- Switched to Deadline scheduler by default as it appears more stable
- Back to 2010.09 toolchain for speed and efficiency
- Synchronized with last update from SGS CM7 team
Better to use CM7 04212011 update with this kernel and newer.
22/04/2011 - V6pre - update 1 :
- Battery polling bumped to 15 sec (was 1 before), it should help battery to an extent (thanks to Zach for the idea)
- Some internal voltage tweaking to hopefully be more UV friendly
- Bumped USER_HZ for more smoothness
- Another -rare- bootloop fix
22/04/2011 - V6pre - update 2 :
- Added some tweaks from V5A for testing
- Resolved a bug generating fake voltage reading
- Resolved a bug on 400MHz step generating instabilities
- Slight changes to the voltage table
- Fixed a typo
- Trying some toolchain switch - again-
23/04/2011 - V6pre - update 3 :
- Corrected Led Notifications - Now it should work properly again !
- Various bugfixes and typo corrections
- Toolchain change once again
- Added new Interactive governor with aggressive settings for even more speed. You need to change it by app (pimp my cpu/cyanogen settings), it's still on conservative by default.
(thanks Zach for your suggestion)
25/04/2011 - V6pre - update 4
- Cleanups on Led notifications to resolve a bug (buttons stopped working randomly for some users)
- More typo corrections
- Voodoo Sound V8
- Various bugfixes on CPU load and schedulers
- CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE disabled for speed
- Lower latency on GPU states switch for stabler performances
- Added a stability fix for voltage change latency when frequency is changing. It should give more stability with high undervolt or big voltage differences between two steps - Please test and report ! (Thanks Zach for pointing that to me)
- Two versions for testing purposes : V6pre-u4 is compiled using GCC 4.5.1 toolchain, and V6pre-u4(alt) is compiled using GCC 4.4.3 one. If you get instabilities on the first one, try the other and vice versa. Please report your findings on that because it was the first stability differences source between my kernel revisions. For information, V6pre-u2 was compiled with 4.4.3, and u3 with 4.5.1.
27/04/2011 - V6pre - update 5 >> 6
- Name changed from "TkGlitch" to "Glitch"
- Cleanups on buttons (Kangsterizer)
- Lower latency on GPU states switch for stabler performances in 3D and/or at high GPU frequency - corrected, thanks to Kangsterizer
- Added a stability fix when frequency changes for cpufreq governors
- Tweaked Interactive and Conservative governors for testing
- New Frequency table : 1.5GHz is now the max selectable frequency, and 800MHz and 400MHz steps are now replaced by a unique 600MHz one.
- Changed initramfs source to remove the annoying "E:no misc partition" error in the recovery
- Now bumped to update 6 to fix an issue with the conservative governor.
27/04/2011 - V6pre - update 7
- New Frequency table : 1.44GHz removed, 800 and 400MHz steps are back.
- Battery polling bumped from 15 to 30 seconds
- GPU power latency bumped from 10 to 60 ms
28/04/2011 - V6A - To use with 04282011 or newer CM7 build only
- New sensors drivers added
- Normalized 1.5GHz bus speed (GPU will now run @ 250MHz versus 247MHz before. It can affect your stability !)
- Int voltage lowered for 1.5GHz step because it did have a bad effect on lower frequencies stability
- GPU power latency back to default - but fixed (100ms)
29/04/2011 - V6B - To use with 04282011 or newer CM7 build only
- New initramfs source to fix compass and update CWM recovery
- 1.5GHz replaced by 1.48GHz for stability
- New voltage table as requested by many users (+25mv on 1200 to 1400MHz steps)
- New interactive governor for better scaling and battery life
- New tweaked smartass governor for testing (pretty bad on CPU benchmarks for some reason, please test how it feels in real world use)
- New ondemand governor from Zacharias.maladroit sources for testing
02/05/2011 - V6C - To use with 05012011 or newer CM7 build only
- Small update to merge with 2.3.4 source, no new feature.
02/05/2011 - V6C² - To use with 05012011 or newer CM7 build only
- Update to repair Voodoo Sound conflicts from 2.3.4 merge.
- Back to 1.44GHz max to prepare 1.5GHz return
V7
02/05/2011 - V7A - To use with 05012011 or newer CM7 build and MIUI RC8+ only
- Resurrect Voodoo Color killed by 2.3.4 merge.
- New step for 1.5GHz on top of 1.44GHz (now 9 steps total versus 8 before)
- Forcing 400MHz max when sleeping for added battery life (default = 800). Couldn't detect any side effect.
- New tweaked Smartass governor now default (800MHz min when screen on). Please report your experience
- It seems the smartass governor is not working by default, it will revert to performance >< Please force it to get it to work -> Ok found the problem, I'll update in a min
- Now updated to V7A-2 to fix the governor bug
03/05/2011 - V7B - To use with 05012011 or newer CM7 build and MIUI RC8+ only
- Resurrect Voodoo Color killed by 2.3.4 merge - Again - fully working now
- Fixed sleep of death issue when unplugged
- Switched to LZO compression for better overall speed and reduced boot time
- Tweaked smartass governor more for - hopefully - better battery life and a bit more responsivity
- New voltage and frequency table rewrite as a bonus with now 11 frequencies total
- Stability fixes on 1.5GHz step -> please test and report
- Reverted FPS uncap - at least for now - for two main reasons : more stability on high GPU freqs (1.4GHz and more), and to prevent FPS limit at max/2 (33 when unlocked to 66), limiting overall performances in heavy scenes. I think there's a lack of buffering somewhere.. It will give higher scores on some benchmarks, and lower on others. A better battery life can indeed be expected too.
- Upstream sync
05/05/2011 - V7C - To use with 05032011 or newer CM7 build and MIUI RC8+ only
- Upstream sync (better battery life, reboot recovery, etc.)
- A general stability fix missing from V7 branch added back
- Tiny tweaks on the voltage table
- Big bugfix on the V7 branch (redone from scratch, cleaner)
- Switched to 2011.03 toolchain
- Added some optimization flags, "-mfloat-abi=hard" being one of them (up to 40% performance gains in specific cases)
- Small improvements here and thereV8
07/05/2011 - V8A - To use with 05062011 or newer CM7 build (useable on MIUI RC8 but you'll lose camera - MIUI needs an update)
- Upstream sync (camera fixes etc.)
- More stability fixes
- Cleanups on OC code (found that 1.2 and 1.3GHz were very unstable compared to earlier releases)
- More work on Vibrant/Captivate. The kernels are now available to download but are untested - for now. Feel free to try and report any problem or if all runs well. If I have enough positive reviews, these kernels will be released in their respective device sections.
11/05/2011 - V8B
Upstream sync only :
- USB switch suspend
- TV out stuff
- Fascinate specifics
- Revert "Got back to previous samsung_modemctl" for 05112011 CM7 buildV9
16/05/2011 - V9A
- Merged with the now dead V8C update because of new added features
- Upstream sync : Calculate battery percentage as percent of max capacity reported when battery full, new wifi driver, etc.
- New PMEM settings for more available RAM (now 331MB)
- 1.54GHz step added with some gentle settings for now.
- New step by step frequency switch when scaling down (part of the Galaxy S II port from Bilboa1) - more stability on highest frequencies
- Corrections and further tweaking on smartass governor + some fixes from Netarchy (Nexus S). 400MHz lock when screen is on removed (not needed anymore -> more power saving)
- Higher cache for faster SDcard read speed
- New sleep settings : Effective lock to 400MHz max when screen is off -> fix long wake up/hiccups when playing music or similar use. Be careful with your UV settings on 200 and 400MHz steps to avoid sleep of death problems ! These were not used on previous versions of my kernel (locked to 100 MHz when screen off and locked to 400MHz when screen on with a buggy gap in smartass governor forcing generally 600+ MHz)
- 600 MHz step removed (it was generating instabilities on some phones when jumping to 800 or down to 400 when using UV)
- Some voltage tweaks for added stability on some devices (as always)
- Cleanups on unused/no more needed stuff
- Little surprise, thanks to Morfic
- Updated to V9A² to fix SOD and some performance issues
21/05/2011 - V9B
- Upstream sync (CWM recovery 3.1.0.1, better screen colors (kills voodoo color for now and looks awful on my 0516 build, but should be good on latest), GPIO fixes, samsung modemctl...) + small changes on my side for official CyanogenMod repository compatibility
- Voodoo Sound updated to V9 / cleaned voodoo color stuff until it works again
- New cleaner bootlogo based on the one in first post, preferred by most users
- Some additional compilation flags from Netarchy and Zacharias.maladroit (better overall performances + NEON)
- Screen refresh frequency bumped to 72Hz (68Hz effective). It'll uncap FPS to 66 again but seems stabler than before on framerate (the divide/2 behavior happens less)
- Added screenstate scaling script from well.heeled.man as a test (with my kernel's smartass default settings). It should give better sleep power consumption as well as better power efficiency on screen off tasks like music playing etc. by switching to conservative governor.
If you want more information, discuss on this or contribute to enhance it, please come here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087646
- Adding some stuff from Zacharias.madadroit :
- Higher battery charging temperature
- Scheduler tweaks
Alternative version now available (V9B-VC) using old AMOLED panel color/gamma settings and with Voodoo Color V2 added back.
24/05/2011 - V9C TO USE WITH CM7 Nightly build #12 OR HIGHER ONLY
(Updated to fix "no service" issue, but still sucks.. unstable on #12 build, very stable on others but no service)
- Upstream sync (PMEM disabled (gives 339MB RAM now), new RIL, headset fixes...)
- Divider changes for MUCH better stability on 1.2GHz at the cost of a slight decrease on performances
- New branch with Voodoo Color display driver and "old" color settings named "VC"
- Fix for Vibrant no service problem - hopefully
- Small changes on smartass governor for better scalability (reverts some old settings not needed anymore with the screenstate script)
- Glitch logo now in update script too for nanu_x2 to be amazed when installing my kernel
24/05/2011 - V9D TO USE WITH CM7 Nightly build #11 OR LOWER (for i9000, or cappy/vibrant equivalent) AND MIUI ONLY
First "D" revision.. Sound like duty. It's basically a fix of a fix done to make the V9C features available for "stable builds" (considering the i9000 #12 isn't)
- Obviously all the V9C changelog
- Using old RIL to be compatible with builds before #12 for I9000 (--> WON'T WORK with #12 for i9000 or equivalent !)
- Replaced 1.54GHz step by 1.6GHz (1.54GHz step was somewhat useless, too close to 1.5Ghz, and slower overall because of the lower bus speed)
- I can't build Vibrant ATM, the CM7 build system is broken on this device or I'm doing something wrong but I wasn't able to fix it. Any help is appreciated. I'm sorry for Vibrant users I'm screwed.
V10

- Int voltage changes to get some stability back on all overclocked frequencies
- A bit faster 1.5 and 1.6GHz steps - Could make these steps unstable for some, please try and report
- Smartass governor tweaked for faster scaling up, and slower scaling down -> better stability and speed
- OC code bugs and inconsistencies introduced in V7B now fixed (it was here to prevent sleep of death issue, now fixed)
- Some fixes and enhancement for compatibility with Xan's Voltage Control app
- Various tweaks for MOAR SPEED
- Black magic
Known issues :
- The reboot recovery command seems broken for some reason on recent builds. Probably rom related.
- Some users still get freeze issue on boot. If you have this issue, please use the "no-optimization" kernel for you device from this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14180722&postcount=2077

How to install CM7 on SGH-T959D with alternative for broken SGH-T959D.
This is updated and easier way to install it ^^
This is only for Telus Fascinate not Verizon Fascniate!!
It is really important that your are on froyo rom before you flash as CM7 need froyo bootloader.
Flash it at your own risk!!! I'm not responsible for anythings that you just did!! Knowledge on how to recover your phone is recommended.
Things that you need
1. CWM 3.0.0.5 enabled kernel. It will do a lagfix as it's voodoo kernel. Just let it finish.
2. Newest Version of CM7 Rom
4. galaxy-efsbackup.zip
5. [CM7]Tk-Glitch kernel for SGH-T959D --> Telus fascinate 3g+
Here is How! (How to flash it, when you are using stock Froyo Rom)
1. Get those files download
2. Copy cm7 package, GalaxyS EFS backup and Glitch kernel to your phone. Should be named cm_galaxysmtd_full-XX.zip where XX is the version number, galaxys-efsbackup.zip and CM7TelusFascinate-Glitch-V10C-VC.zip.
3. Get into download mode and flash CWM kernel using odin (do not check mark on the repartition and phone efs clear!) It will be named voodoo.advanced.v666.2-20110111-21.53.tar.
4. Unplug your USB and get into recovery mode. Hardware way.
5. Choose "mounts & storage" and format system, data, and cache
6. Flash GalxyS-EfsBackup.zip
7. Flash Glitch kernel then reboot in recovery again with hardware way. If you use reboot recovery command, just keep on going with the alternative way.
7. Flash cm_galaxysmtd_full-XX.zip
8. Reboot your device and make sure you are in service and 3g working fine. If you dont get any of that you might have to go back to stock Froyo rom and do this steps again.
9. If you have service and 3g data working, go to recovery mode again!!
10. Install [CM7]Tk-Glitch kernel from recovery. CM7 package install default kernel and we want Glitch kernel
11. Restore the efs backup.
12. Reboot your device and you will be running CM7 Rom and amazing Tk-Glitch kernel ^^.
Alternative way to flash. Can't access recovery mode by booting with button.
1. Download the same file as main way to install.
2. Copy cm7 package to your phone. Should be named cm_galaxysmtd_full-XX.zip where XX is the version number. Also copy Glitch kernel.
3. Get into download mode (Use download Script included here if you can't do it hardware way) and flash CWM kernel using odin (do not check mark on the repartition!) It will be named voodoo.advanced.v666.2-20110111-21.53.tar. Let your phone reboot to normal rom.
4. Once it has booted ( It will do a lagfix before booting. ) make sure you have usb debugging enabled. (Setting, application, development USB debugging ticked.) Use recovery script found Here ( Included in package to get in download mode. ) to get in recovery.
5. Flash GalaxyS-efsBackup.zip
6. Flash Glitch kernel.
7. Go to advanced in CMW and use REBOOT RECOVERY. Your phone will always be rebooting recovery for now. we'll fix that later.
8. Flash the CM7 package. Reboot into download with the script included in the package up or hardware way. (Button work to get in download for me.)
9. Flash CWM kernel again using odin with repartition NOT ticked.
10. Restore EFS.
11. It will reboot in recovery. Flash Glitch kernel again and and reboot normal again. And voilà !
You are now on amazing CM7 with more even amazing Glitch kernel.
Thanks so much. Was waiting for a new kernel, this works on any froyo rom right?? And do I need to dl that wipe thing you posted to flash this???
Sent from my T959D on Bionix..

I'm getting the same message. Status 7 assert failed, I tried it multiple times. I used to run voodoo kernel but i disabled the lagfix. I reflashed Froyo JL3 a couple times trying different things but nothing worked. Still the Status 7 message when trying to flash CM7
Battery Drain
Does this kernel still have battery drain issues?
For people with status 7 error, did you flash the initial kernel first? If you didn't , try to flash it first. If you dont have access to recovery with 3 button combo, i'll post my way to flash it by the night. Yes battery drain bug is still here, but it's getting more and more like normal GB firmware.
Thanks to Glitch for the kernel and thanks to you for the new thread for telus fascinate. I already compiled Glitch kernel for just personal usage, but now i dont have to worry about that Thank you
Since today, I'm not gonna compile a new build for telus fascinate due to personal events ( studying, working, enjoying my life, girl friend, etc..) But I'm gonna still write a comment for this kernel and visit this thread.
Thanks again and Ill give you a feedback about this kernel

hehe, i know how it's hard to have a life xD thanks to have compiled zach kernel for us while you were able ^^. I'll keep this thread updated as TK update his own and gives us a compiled kernel ( Turn out I ain't able to compile it myself xD)
Thanks again TKGLITCH!
i hope oneday Glitch compile MIUI version for us.

If you use the latest Miui build 1.6.10 you can just use this kernel as its the new ril, tested and working so far with 10b The work has already been done we were just waiting for MIUI to catch up.

THIS THREAD HAS BEEN RETIRED | THIS IS FOR ANDROID: 2.3.4, 2.3.5, 2.3.6, 2.3.7
Developer: Gokhanmoral | Donate | Website | Original ThreadDownload: SiyahKernel v2.6.14 | ZIP | TARExTweaks - The Kernel Tweaker
2.6.14 (Latest):
Preempt_rcu
Xz compression (to reduce bw on the servers. other than that, don’t believe anybody telling you that it is faster)
New touch recovery (the one in my ICS repack) with gestures
GPU staycount implemented (this is the main reason of this release. this was droidphile’s request and I could not say no to him )
Disabled autogroup (samsung ICS kernel doesn’t use it neither)
ARM_ERRATA_754322 (once again, ICS has it)
Reverted workqueue implementation to old one
Some cleanup of redundant and non-necessary code
Reverted BFQ changes which were causing lags and lockups (thanks to Entropy512. I used the version in his repository. it was the easiest way )
Added “reboot into download mode” in advanced menu of CWM recovery and also added power-off back in. I had no time to remove dual-booting options. instead, I put “not implemented” message. they are ready but I am having a tiny problem while prompting user to choose the rom. you’ll have it in ICS, I hope.
Some fixes and corrections in extweaks interface (thanks to Entropy512 for some of them)
Initialization of led buttons to off (thanks to myfluxi)
Enabled cpu alignment (thanks to codeaurora)
Some other tweaks and “small changes”
2.6.13:
Fixed decoding issues because of the new cpuidle driver (thanks to Entropy512)
Set default I/O scheduler to deadline
Reverted lots of code back to v2.6.9 (based on the user experience, it is the best version until now)
Completed universal config interface implementation (the app will be posted when it is finished. the implementation at the kernel side is ready)
You may need to flash this in CWM recovery if you mess with the default config (especially when trying too much undervolting. although most of the settings are safe, changing gpu voltage and freq settings may cause lockups or bootloops): siyah-resetdefaultprofile.zip. this script will reset default profile and your device will boot with default settings.
This will be the last GB kernel release of SiyahKernel.
2.6.12:
Fixed BTHID issues (thanks to Entropy512)
Some wifi driver changes to prevent wlan_rx wakelocks preventing the device to sleep
New cpuidle driver from galaxytab (thanks to Entropy512)
Reverted top-off current back to default
2.6.11:
Replaced the recovery with Hyperdroid Redpill Kernel Recovery. (Thanks to Hyperdroid team and Redpill kernel developer(s)). this recovery can also mount both internal and external sd. (thank you [email protected])
Set the default cpu governor back to ondemand. conservative governor settings are still the same. ondemand governor settings are tweaked a bit (50000-90-5)
Changed some mali internals (set staycounts for steps to: 0-1-1 and down threshold for second step is set to 35). I did not use AndreiLux’s settings for not breaking the compatibility with voltage control app but I highly recommend you try it because it can save a lot of battery juice.
Some patches from upstream
2.6.10:
Default governor is set to conservative with sampling rate of 20msec. those who still say that lionheart is different than conservative governor should inspect the sources or those who don’t know how to do that should try this kernel to get a proof. if you still want EXACTLY the same lionheart governor, just flash lionheart.zip. Unlike what others say it will behave EXACTLY THE SAME as lionheart governor in void kernel if you flash it on this kernel, neak or several others who use netarchy’s change on conservative governor.
(Postponed to 2.6.11 to make a fair comparison of the conservative governor effects) drastic changes in gpu frequencies (thanks to [email protected]). you can use voltage control app to use modify them if they cause any lag in games or video playback but I didn’t feel any lag and they are just perfect. freq set is (40,167,267) with thresholds 85% 30% 80% 30%.
(Postponed to 2.6.11)Some other tweaks for performance and mostly battery life (made cpu hotplug threshods a bit high and some patches from upstream etc)
Set default i/o scheduler to bfq. it seems that song skipping doesn’t happen with bfq @ 100MHz (thanks to [email protected] for the feedback)
Applied Mel Gorman’s patches to SLUB allocator.
This release may not be as battery friendly as v2.6.9. I will make ondemand governor default and use different settings in v2.6.11 to target more battery life. apart from the slub allocator change (which should not effect the performance anyway) all changes in this release can be applied to v2.6.9 by using init scripts or voltage control app (just flash lionheart.zip and set i/o scheduler to bfq).
External SD/Internal SD are mounted backwards, careful when deleting information from them (emmc/sdcard) - Backup first!
Works with Samsung / CM7 / MIUI
Gokhanmoral - "Although I compile at&t version, Entropy512's kernel may be a better choice because there are some differences which I cannot test. He knows what he is talking about and I mean it..."
Flashing .ZIP's in CWM will change once flashing this KERNEL. You will now use the POWER BUTTON to select, and CHOOSE ZIP FROM INTERNAL SDCARD. Same goes for doing Backup/Restore, choose the Internal Card.
USB Debugging is turned off first flash, Just turn it back on Settings->Applications->Development

Although some parts can be considered as original, all are based on inspirations, examples and other people's code. I have no claim to be original. I am only trying to make my (and probably other's) SGS2 experience better and fun.
About source codes: I do not release source codes during beta testing. I do not use git. I have already proven that I share source code, but only once per release. I don't think that mods will be uncomfortable with this but if they are I can create an account in github and share an old code just like most of the other developers do. I will not choose that path if I don't have to. You can download sources for the releases using the links below. I will simply ignore mails and posts asking about the source code because they are already shared. Also, GPL doesn't force me to use github nor it forces me to release the source code as soon as possible. Therefore, releasing the source code may be delayed for several days. If you don't like this sue me

Here's a quick link to the Siyah kernel over in the i9100 forums. Everything as far as information about the kernel should apply to our phones except the obvious (battery charging steps, anything with the home button, in other words strictly hardware difference related points) as he now has made an i777 kernel version.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263838
This kernel should get posted in the development thread by someone willing to keep up on all it's changes as the Siyah kernel seems to get updated all the time. Unfortunately once I heal up from surgery I won't have the time to be able to do that.

The CWM .zip will not download via phone browser, and when downloading from a windows 7 (IE browser) PC it successfully downloads but when flashing it says the package is bad. I think he needs to reupload it or put an MD5 checksum in place.
For stability, I ran a setcpu stress test on my phone all morning at 1.6 (nearly blew up my battery) and had no issues at all on conservative governor.

While you're at it, can you change the value of touch_thres in touchscreen mod for the default 10 (or 9?) to 25...or 20. Better yet, ask arkusuma for his latest mod where it's user adjustable

BCM4329 is actually the old driver. With ICS google introduced new bcmdhd driver
Huawei was so lazy and took old gingerbread driver, that's why thetering don't work
maybe you can add in some additional governor.

I use S7-302u ,Android4.0.3,C232B001.
Can i flash this kernel ?
thank you for advice.
nice work, sounds good.
My Mediapad doesn't work with my Nikon D7000 DSLR together. (If I plug a Canon EOS in (which works), the D7000 works afterwords with DSLR Dashboard, Helicon Remote,... until I reboot my tablet again)
Sound strangs, I know! ^^ (But the D7000 is recognised always @ USB Host Controller and also at dmesg)
Maybe this kernel will help me!
Sorry, but I'm a newbie in generell (@ Android):
I tried already some firmwares to solve this, but only with the SD-card, which isn't very hard to do.
Can you make a more detailed install instruction?
With which firmware I can use this kernel mod?
many thanks

according to this

there is no difference between those two versions so i think you can safely flash the kernel. If it's for whatever reason not gonna boot up you can always revert to original kernel

If you are on newest Android for Mediapad (ICS 4.0.3) you can flash the kernel
but i really don't now if its gonna help with your problem. I haven't touched USB part in the kernel (apart from regular linux kernel update)
To flash you need to use fastboot mode and those two commands
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
To boot into fastboot just install Quick Boot from Google Play and choose Bootloader there

Info about some mods:
1.4Ghz Overclock + UV. Kept Qualcomm's frequencies table as proved to have less battery drain for some reason.
The undervoltaging is max -50mV on most frequencies, as to avoid error corrections from low voltage (errors in calculations increases drain a lot) and also to avoid cpu halts. Needs further investigating for lower values.
Now using aire's values, the best for battery for over a year.
11mb ram freed from camera and adsp pmem. This came from many tests that showed that when taking 8mp pictures, 720p video (w/ or w/o stabilizer), playing 720p video with hw decoding and hw audio decoding audio, the used pmem was max 42MB for camera pmem and 6MB for adsp. Can be freed 7-8Mb more but didnt do it for stability reasons under multimedia multitasking.
That also shows us that the stabilizer lag in camera doesn't come from the pmems. I'll try to check the camera sources and see if it's driver related.
If you find anything strange with anything that use the camera or the DSP tell me and please provide logcat logs.
Triple Buffering. At last some JB goodies to us using stock. This gives great UI and game Frame rates (tested). It uses the normal mode (as we don't have the vsync sync pulse like JB, which also auto disables it when not needed), and that means that it doesn't introduces slight lag to input. In games if you see something strange though please reply in this thread.
Random Entropy Generator. Fixes and tweaks to random generator. And also to binfmt_elf, no more entropy depletion through using shell, scripts and generally any binary. Say no to blocking random, and enjoy a smoother UI.
Now with frandom for 50x more performance.
Governors/IO scheds. No bloating here. Kept only the best for battery and performance.
The default ones are the highly optimized. If you have some tweaks for all schedulers that will increase battery and performance (always in balance), don't hesitate to tell me.
Key reset. You can reboot your phone when kernel halts or something brought your phone to its knees by pressing
Power + Home for 5s. Don't do it just for restarting it fast! This does not good to your filesystem because they can't sync,
so you can lose changes made the last seconds. Also after initiating it you don't have to press both buttons for the remaining 4s.
In 2.8 the combination is Power + Home + Volume Up for 5s.
Twrp and Cwm differences. TWRP and CWM are both recovery apps but use different apis.
CWM use nandroid backup and TWRP uses it's own.
CWM uses and old recovery API (v2) and TWRP use the newest recovery API 3
That means that you can't use a backup made with cwm in twrp, and vice versa.
In TWRP, some flashable zip will not work, until they have a newer update-binary (that supports API 3).
(That's the one provided by Team Win: update-binary-3)
If you want other info, again write here. And last but not least the kernel version number 0.8a doesn't mean that's beta. The kernel right now is highly optimized and working. The version just means that I'll try many things more to make our phone better.
Thanks:
wedgess for his great Lupus kernel sources.
aire and vdsirotkin for their great kernels that i used for many months at both GB and ICS.
DooMLoRD Well you all know why
thomas1991_12 and championswimmer for help and twrp binary accordingly
And to all Freexperia Project members for their great patches and fixes to our phones.

DISCLAIMER for sharing outside xda:
It got to my attention that the kernel is shared in many boards outside xda
and especially in many Asian ones. It's fine to make a complete copy of OP and changelog,
I don't mind, but you have to provide a link to this thread.
Also, the most important, please use my links for kernel binaries. If you don't do this, I can't see usage stats of my kernel.
That's why I use mediafire. It's fast, supports multiple connections, no wait time and is usable in every country.
Downloads and Sources:
Main Version:
CTCaer Kernel v2.8 1.4GHz + UV
or
CTCaer Kernel 2.8.2 UKSM special version
The special version may not work for you, cause of lower voltages. After 20 sept, i'll do proper releases.
Vdd Version:
DISCLAIMER: I will not provide help on reboots and bootloops on 1.6GHz + VDD control version.
It's here for people that need 1.6ghz and voltage control only. Default speed is 1.0Ghz.
CTCaer Kernel v2.8 1.6GHz + VDD control
If you want to use usb storage, ntfs and more you can flash these modules (if not, they are optional):
Modules for CIFS, NTFS, FUSE and USB Storage v2 ** Updated **
The updated modules bring: Updated cifs,fuse,ntfs,usb-storage and adds nls_utf8 for Unicode support, plus oprofile for people that want debugging.
CTCaer Kernel needs stock wifi modules. If you changed them, flash this:
Stock .13 WiFi modules
If you came from a kernel that you had to flash custom modules, use the flash zip above to have the stock ones again.
Some kernels, like Lupus, change the modules on their own, by just flashing the kernel and powering on the phone.
The original with Lupus are moved in /system/lib/modules.old.
Info for going back from Lupus
Many thanks @arcatarc for providing the flashable update zip.

Changelog:
Older:
v0.8a:
*Initial Release.
v0.9 (renamed to v2):
*Added 1.6Ghz (UVed)
*Removed Ondemand
*Added OndemandX cpu scheduler
*Added CFQ i/o scheduler
*Removed autoroot
*Changed ro.secure to 0 for rooted ADB on default
*More ram (because of ramdisk's reduced size)
*Fixed Kernel Samepage Merging startup.
*Reduced freq to 1Ghz for kernel booting (to avoid 1.6ghz's drain). Comes back to 1.4Ghz for at bootanimation.
*Some more ramdisk changes
v2.5:
*New logo. SE strikes back with energy logo
*Deep undervolting. Thanks to Intuki for providing aire's values
*Fixes to binfmt_elf. No more random entropy depleting through using cat, ls and well every binary and script.
*Random entropy generator tweaks. I scream more UI smoothness
*Enabled cpu group scheduling
*Better pmem (updated to 2.6.35.x. For full changelog: pmem patch)
*Removed unused modules and some non-usefull debugging for a lighter Kernel
*Fixes to memory leaks on the networking side
*Fixes to android binder
*Usb network tethering support
*Added ipsec tunneling support
*Fix to cpufreq. Now you can see available frequencies through /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
*Removed KSM because after so many days nothing in our phone calls it
*Tweaks to ramdisk for faster boot
v2.51:
*Reverted pmem code to stock to fix broken adsp for videos. Sorry about that :/
*Known bug on 2.50-.51: Unstable 1.6ghz because of low voltage.
v2.52:
*Added 1.5ghz and stabilised 1.6ghz more
*Changed PATH variable at boot end so busybox is not taken from /system/bin or xbin
*Increased 720p vidc default input buffer for smoother video playback
*Fix a race in pid generation that causes pids to be reusedimmediately
MIUI compatibility:
*Added MIUI shelld service (stock based roms are not affected by this), thanks to stillka
*Reverted binder patches
v2.6:
*Split kernel to 2 versions:
1.4GHz with Undevolting
1.6GHz with Vdd (voltage) control
*More Undervolting to lower frequencies for even better battery for main version. (3 days test showed 1% per 7hours with gsm+wifi on+widget updating every 1 hour)
*Stabilized higher frequencies.
*frandom implementation inside kernel. No need for module. It's 10-50 times faster than random/urandom
Replaced random and urandom with frandom and erandom. No need for apps to do that and it's done at boot so no app or process use the old ones.
(For ramdisk modders: the script is in /sbin/bootrec. You need it for frandom replacement before android boots.)
*Enabled bfq i/o scheduler cgroup
*Fixed PATH variable for good. Now it will report the right busybox in scripts and apps that can't use their own path.
*Tweaked cgroup values for background apps and more
*Enabled memory suspend deep power down. (This will do nothing for roms that can't use it, or without a script calling it)
*Enabled scheduler tunables (like sched_latency_ns, sched_wakeup_granularity_ns and more). Here's a good read about them: sysctl scheduler tunables
Tuning them will provide some more boost to your ray. Have in mind results are different from system to system and different workloads.
v2.7:
*Default scheduler is now SIO for nand and sd
*More total ram (4MB)
*Tweaks and fixes to msm_fb and mdp, for optimized and faster rendering plus less ram usage.
*Optimizations in memory management
*Updated LMK to the latest aprl-2013 version and added some tweaks
*Updated to a more optimized Compaction
*Optimizations to RCUTiny
*Optimized smartassv2 and added Boost pulse
*Added ROW scheduler, thanks to @kast
Experimental!
(Also some optimizations from the k3.4 version are missing for now)
Any benchmark on SIO vs ROW are welcomed.
*Performance optimisations on SIO and Deadline i/o schedulers
*Updated CFQ i/o scheduler
*Reordered functions in input driver for faster touch responce
*Removed Superbad and Lulzactive to lessen the kernel threads and free ram
*Kernel decompressor optimazations to Lzo
*Added Reset by pressing Power+Home keys for 5s
Only use it when you have to. (example: kernel halt) Don't make it your new reboot way!
*Made vibrator worqueue's priority higher to lessen the lag in big cpu load
*Added compact mem per node
*Fixed performance calculation in vidc (video codec)
*Enable Fsync
*Protect a proccess from killed by LMK far too many times

I'll consider it. I'll maybe add one with 1.6ghz or with one capped at boot at 1.4ghz. Will see
How i wish their is interactiveX & CFQ. ehehe
From the features it seem a really good kernel(i like the fact it use stock wifi modules too),tnx,but i have some questions:
1)It is undervolt embedded in kernel?
2)Can you make a version without autoroot (or can i modify your ramdisk to use in my rom)?
Tnx in advance and keep the good workin..
Sweet candy, baby! Sounds AWESOME! Flaaaashing immediately! OMG, LOL!
Triple Buffering=project butter?
OK flashed, looks promising. I am on Zelly Cream and superuser doesn't start. What now?
EDIT: Cleaned dalvik, cache, fix permissions, cleared data on superuser app. SuperSU also not able to update binary. Sorry if it's a stupid situation.

It was in my intentions to add CFQ but forgot to re add the kernel flag. Have in mind that cfq maybe is one of the most configurable io scheds but bfq does a better job in fairness (because it's an improved cfq).
As for interactiveX I'll review it.

1) Yep to avoid reboot problems. (even in stock voltages and configurable vdd for example, my ray reboots.)
I'm open though to suggestions about levels. In the next days I'll play a little with the current_now and try some new voltages until i find the
sweet spots before the error corrections begin. Also if for example 750mV has the same drain with 800mV I will keep the 800 one for stability. No need for extreme undervoltaging.
2)Well to be true I didnt wanted to included but many ppl need that feature from the kernel. If will remove it? Dont know yet.
But for sure you can edit the ramdisk. Just comment out the autoroot service in init.rc or delete the autoroot.sh in /sbin.

Yep. Well almost. It's what the project butter is based off.
Until now (testing it for 8days) it does a good job and the UI feels a looot better.
Need some tests from games though. I heard that triple buffering made some glitches in xperia T JB. If it's kernel related maybe i can add the patch to our sources.

Well it's not. The superuser is the latest 3.2 and does not have update ability (the button that says update is cosmetic and version informative). The autoroot script is copying the superuser and the su. You are ready to go.
Also no need for wipes. If something doesn't work it has nothing to do with caches.

What is it?
This is my attempt at bulding a custom kernel for my needs. To be fast, stable and eat as little battery as possible.
It's mainly "your" kernel, in the sense that it contains contributions/pieces of code / bits of genius by several people, who I wish personally to thank for all they shared. In no particular order:
DooMLoRD
Faux123
an0nym0us_
slade87
nobodyAtall
garwedgess
...and many, many others...
(Listing above people doesn't mean they directly contributed to the kernel nor that they endorse it. I took either piece of their work to include or was inspired by their works)
What's in it?
This production of KaLabs kitchen is prepared with the finest cutlery available, Linaro GCC 4.7.3.
I've taken a well fed Sony stock 4.1.B.1.13 and prepared " a la Ka recipe"
Removed unnecessary kernel components (e.g. Ethernet 10/100 drivers) - Lighter is better
CWM 6.0.3.1k (press vol down when the purple led is On at boot - Updated in 1.6 with Reboot to Fastboot and Shutdown)
CPU Governors (most taken from DooMLoRD sources): boosted (New), brazilianwax, conservative, darkside, hybrid (New), intellidemand (Default), intellidemand2, interactive (Backported from JB), interactivex, lagfree, lionheart , minmax, ondemand, performance, powersave, savagedzen, scary, smartassV2 (Tuned and boost pulse in 1.6), smartass, smartassH3 ((Tuned and boost pulse in 1.6), smoothass, userspace, virtuous, wheatley
IO Schedulers: BFQ, CFQ, SIO (Default), VR, Zen
SLQB Memory Allocator
Added Ext4 support
Swap, ZRam enabled
Cleancache and Frontswap are present too
Google Snappy Compression and Decompression drivers included
Updated Video drivers with Aurora Project's versions
Memcopy included
Tiny RCU is there too
OC up to 1.7GHZ
RO.secure = 0
init.d support
IP Tunneling
Wifi modules in Ramdisk (works right away, no need for reboot)
Boot Boost (Boot in OC 1.6GHZ, reduces boot by a few seconds)
Patched up to 2.6.32.60
Updated Yaffs2 driver
Ramdisk compressed with LZMA
Two-way call recording patch
CIFS Module enabling/disabling via KaMenu (*)
NTFS Module enabling/disabling via KaMenu (*)
FUSE Module enabling/disabling via KaMenu (*)
USB OTG Module enabling/disabling via KaMenu (*)
HFS Plus Module enabling/disabling via KaMenu (*)
Builtin OC/Governors/IOSchedulers choice in KaMenu (*)
Make CPU Governor / IO Scheduler choice stick at boot via KaMenu (*) (New)
Device reset via HOME + POWER keys, need to press keys 3 seconds, can be enabled via sysfs and KaMenu (New)
Wifi works as of first boot of newly installed rom.
This Kernel plays safely with any ROM based on stock ICS.
Battery bug fixed
(*) KaMenu is new with release 1.3
Either via "adb shell" or a Terminal on the device itself, execute kamenu and follow the onscreen menu to enable or disable CIFS/NTFS/FUSE.
Once enabled, they are loaded and automatically loaded at boot too (via init.d script). Follow the same procedure to disable them.
Since Version 1.5, KaMenu allows you to choose the CPU Governor, CPU Min/Max Frequency and IO Scheduler without the need for an additional software. Of course it won't be as pretty as a graphical application but at least you have something to do it shipped with the kernel without having to rely on a rom builtin tool or third-party app you'd have to download separately.
Since Version 1.6 you'll find in KaMenu both in the CPU Governor and IO Scheduler selection menus the option to make your choice to stick at boot (via auto-created init.d scripts).
Supported models
The aim is to provide with builds for:
Mango - Mini Pro
Smultron - Mini
Coconut - LWW
Satsuma - Active
Installation
The installation is no different than other custom kernels.
First make sure you have an unlocked bootloader
When your phone is turned off, press the up vol button and connect your phone to your computer (Fastboot mode)
You must see the led turning blue
Either via Flashtool or via command line (fastboot -i 0x0fce flash boot THEKERNEL) flash the kernel to your phone
You must see "0 bad blocks encountered" in the log. In case you see, it's safe to disconnect and reboot, otherwise redownload the kernel and try flashing again.
There you go...

Kappa 1.6 Battery bug fixed
Update (1.6)
Version 1.4 was reported to be more stable than 1.5. This is why 1.6 has been built starting back from 1.4 and patching up till to achieve a build as stable as 1.4 and including additional features which hopefully will be of your liking.
It took a little time to release it and some of you participated actively in the testing. I would really like to thank who helped me bringing online this new version.
This new version doesn't only include a set of patches and fixes on the kernel itself but also a few additional features and fixes to the ramdisk.
First of all, probably the most significant change in the ramdisk is the inclusion of an "hybrid" CWM 6.0.3.1.
I call it 6.0.3.1k because it's not an official 6.0.3.1 but a patched 6.0.2.1 that includes all the fixes that could be applied while keeping compatibility with a 2.6.32.x kernel and adding additional features compared to the official CWM. This version, upon your suggestion, now includes a separate menu to Reboot into System, Reboot to Fastboot and Shutdown.
Another little feature I'm glad to include in this release is having Wifi to work since first boot of a newly installed ROM. Generally, because kernels that don't alter the /system partition must load drivers from the ramdisk early, Wifi is not available when you first boot a newly installed ROM. Version 1.6 now performs the required Wifi initialisation procedures when it detects the ROM hasn't performed them yet (case of a newly installed ROM) so that Wifi works right away.
Interactive CPU Governor JB edition was backported. This version can auto tune its tunable values by itself. Quarx2k (on Github) ported it.
Couple of CPU Governors more: Boosted which is a tuned version of SmartassV2 and Hybrid; Hybrid is meant to give it's full potential on multicore devices, which isn't our case, but I've included it anyway. Time will tell if worth keeping or not.
Many other changes and fixes were included with the aim to make this release more stable and smooth than the previous. In case you're actually still running 1.5, I'd really advise you to try this one.
Version 1.7 is now being prepared!
For people willing to test ongoing 1.7 Betas... I tried to make it a little easier.
My friend Jenkins is making every night a new build based on the latest committed changes. You can grab the releases here:
Kappa 1.7 Beta Releases
Sources of the kernel available via Github
and the modded CWM too
This is a work in progress, a lot still left to do to consider it fully boosted and optimised!
And that's pretty much it. Thanks for reading and please post any comments / critics / suggestions you may have!

Update: Found this reply by An0nym0us_
actually theres none xperia mdpi or hdpi kernel with oc gpu. adreno205 simply cant be oc.
the discussion to oc it is since the desire hd days, but none succeeded with good result.
raising the gpu freq manually in kernel source made phone lag.

I can test it for you on lww but:
please make it most battery friengly as you can,
usb otg modules
oc up to 1.6 ( I think no one use even 1.6 frequency
ext2, 3 ( somones use lower versions of ext partition)
it is rooted right?
and please never make it with twrp ( or make 2 kernel: twrp and cwm) because twrp has problems with installing some zips
use 100mhz steps for cpu
ntfs module
and have no idea what more btw as I said i can test it for lww

oc up to 1.6 ( I think no one use even 1.6 frequency
ext2, 3 ( somones use lower versions of ext partition)
it is rooted right?
and please never make it with twrp ( or make 2 kernel: twrp and cwm) because twrp has problems with installing some zips
use 100mhz steps for cpu
ntfs module
and have no idea what more btw as I said i can test it for lww

oc up to 1.6 ( I think no one use even 1.6 frequency : Was actually thinking about that... 2.0GHZ maybe not that safe, considering the official speed of the CPU. Might bring it down to 1.6
it is rooted right? - ro.secure is set to 0, but there is no autoroot script or similar.
ext2, 3 - Those are in, I added Ext4, didn't remove Ex2 and Ext3
use 100mhz steps for cpu - Will look into that
CIFS and NTFS are "said" to eat battery, this is why I didn't include them. But might be wrong and quite happy to be corrected.
usb otg modules - Prolly in next release. (Included in 1.1)
Thanks a lot for your offer to test! Beware that because I don't have a LWW myself I can't even guarantee it'll boot on yours. I'll build it and send you a link via PM, ok?
Thanks again,
Ka.
Thanks a lot for reply. So have no idea if ntfs eats battery.
So if ro secure to 0 is that root acces will normally work in rom right?
NTFS mhm I just need to work mounting pendrives in usb otg helper so I could use it normally. Now I use kernel panic which is fast and battery friengly. But can't mount pendrives. So I need the same fast kernel with usb otg. As I said I just need possibility to mount my pendrive with ntfs file system on it
And yes pm me link after you will make version for live
Hey Kast, how about battery performance in Mango?

This is the Kernel I'm running right now. Battery life doesn't seem to be too bad. With wifi on, over night, lose less than 10%.
I'm sure there is room for improvement...
Currently flashing this phone 20 times a day though...

hey there, sounds interesting, the kernel will there probably a twrp version (prefared 2.4.x as that is the working one ) available sometime soon? searching for such a kernel quite a time, lupus JB has a working twrp 2.4.x but all other kernels still use twrp 2.3.x (which is known as not correctly working -> can´t flash roms)
thanks in advance

Hi, thanks!
I'm more a CWM guy myself but I definitely want to try it out. I'll avoid "Dual Recovery" boots because I don't want to have my phone waiting two times... I'll have to find another way of packaging either one or the other.
Thanks,
Ka.
would be cool well if u can get the TWRP 2.4.x (i found it by searching the forums here, there is a thread with fully working stockkernels with the twrp for all XPERIAs) u don´t need dual boot as the 2.4 works perfectly, lupus JB kernel only has the TWRP 2.4.x

Thanks a lot for your tests! Would it be too much asking for a screenshot?
Edit: Might have found what it was... Preparing a new build soon! Thanks!

Thank you very much for trying it out.
I'll soon send a new build where I applied some changes to the OC. Maybe 2GHZ is actually a bit too much...

The LWW/Coconut build seems to be broken at the moment. I wouldn't dare giving you a kernel that somebody else already said it doesn't boot.
I don't have a LWW myself unfortunately. As soon as I have another build to try I'll post it, ok?
Thanks,
Ka.
