[KERNEL] nAa-kernel-02 Custom Gingerbread kernel + CWM Recovery
Notes:
Dualtouch:
If you want to enable the fake DT by dx (instead of andrej456's which is the default), you have to insert the following line in the /system/etc/hw_config.sh file:
insmod /system/lib/modules/synaptics_i2c_rmi4_dt.ko
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you want to remove the fake DT altogether, insert the following line in the /system/etc/hw_config.sh file:
insmod /system/lib/modules/synaptics_i2c_rmi4_no_dt.ko
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

All is ok for now.I'm still testing.

BIG FAT WARNING:
Before cracking the bootloader, keep in mind that this process cannot be undone (until today) so your phone might not be accepted by SE if warranty is needed.
Features:
Netfilter support / AP support
Swap support
Tun/Tap in kernel
Mddi fix in kernel
Modular Overclock / Undervolt / Ext3 / Ext4
CWM recovery v4.0.1.5 in kernel

Flash the kernel via Flashtool
Boot into recovery and flash the kernel modules from here. If you don't flash them, you will get panics due to the hijacking functions of existing modules. If you don't flash the attached kernel but you do flash the modules you'll also get panics.
Reboot and check Settings -> About Phone:

Flash back to stock using Flashtool or SEUS.

nobodyAtall, have you removed sony ericsson init logo?

Again a great job from nAa.+1.
Waiting for native USB Tethering.

i have problem with cwm recovery! It says E:Can't mount /sdcard!
Edit:I have the same problem with xrecovery too!

Try deleting /system/bin/chargemon from recovery and then flash the modules zip.

Works, Thanks

---

thanks for the first kernel-attempt for our phone
just my 5 cents... can we get all our nice possibilities (e.g. encryption) form your cwm-version here?

@nobodyAtall
I created an init logo for your kernel, it isn't so good but you can use it if you haven't created one!!!
Frendly, Regards Stelios97

Thanks Stelio
The problem though is not the image file. It's init which makes it distorted
Btw, this kernel does not need the chroot hack we previously needed with chargemon so I replaced it with the original charger. Haven't tested if offline charging works though.
