The maximum frequency depends on your device. Mine can stand up to 806MHz.
On the other hand you can easily make the kernel report 4GHz and actually run at 600MHz
Hehe... I'll try then... Alfs has maximum fraquency that can be selected as 768.. and yours? 806... interesting...
@nAa, this kernel should work with any ROM, or we should loose wifi until miniCM7 is ported to X8 devices? Thks in advance
wooooow happpie
is this work well ?
Great, i looking for that.
1] When i use this kernel with GingerDX everything is working ? Somebody try ?
2] What is max stable cpu freq ?
currently testing
nice boot screen
Edit1: moving from alfs kernel to this one stuck at boot screen had to full wipe and reinstall the Rom "if you got error 0 while installing toggle script asserts enable then disable and try again"
Edit2: still stuck at boot screen gonna flash stock SE then flash it again will update you soon
Edit3: doesn't work on GC8.2 Rom

This is a fact.

ok, test yourself. Run some benchmark on 600 mhz and then agian on 614 mhz. u will see it. Performance is lower because the gpu got downclocked...

Thanks to DooMLoRD share with me VDD control source
I already tried all scheduler. Noop or deadline get best performance another are bad.
So I never include them for light kernel.
My kernel exclude don't need CPU government for more light & smooth.
I otimized that CPU ondemand works like a interactive government, you can see below CPU working time.

We need FPS uncap in kernel？
We know the Z has been uncap the FPS without kernel
but the latest Zkernel also have this feature
We need this in your kernel？It have some different than before？
anybody tried this ??
Will it work with ThJap 1.5.0 ??
will await the miui version,
thank you for all your hard work guys

This uncap is in kernel level wheras fps uncap was a hack that was a ROM level.
Difference in theory but the same when you use it.

tested tkymgr 4.00 kernel on wolf's 4.0 rom..
report uptil now..
-fast as hell
-stable as heaven
-no lags
-wifi works
-wifi tether works
-fps 54
-deep sleep works
-stock camera works fully with auto focus
-stock videocam works
still testing..
but only 128 mhz and 1113 mhz frequency are used mostly.. i think an interactive governer is needed to make it more battery friendly..!!
fingers crossed for future releases..!
my daily thanks limit exceeded because so much development is going on.. so a HUGE THANKS to you !!

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

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!!!

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.

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.

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.
Old Versions:
CTCaer Kernel v2.7 1.4GHz + UV
CTCaer Kernel v2.7 1.6GHz + VDD control

For v2.7,2.8 check v2.8 branch, because currently, I don't have time to push commits one by one.
For compiling, I used Linaro 4.7.3 and ctcaer_urushi_defconfig (1.4GHz+UV) and ctcaerVDD_urushi_defconfig (1.6GHz+Vdd)
If you liked my kernel click THANKS!
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
*Fix to suspend power management
*Fixed init.d support not working when having install-recovery.sh for int2ext and other scripts
*And more performance and memory optimizations..
v2.8:
Team Win Recovery Project is here
Dual ramdisk TWRP (volume keys) and CWM (power key)
For differences between TWRP and CWM check "Info about some mods" in OP
Made TWRP more holo, fixed reboot into TWRP and fixed mass storage in TWRP.
Added script to remove unused ramdisk files after boot to free ram
(cpio 7,8mb. Images/other 1.5mb)
Fixed init.d for every method for good
[/B]zram now really uses snappy compression/decompression
Really fast zram and no lag when switching apps
3rd button key reset: +Volume up.
No more random reboot from pressing the keys accidentaly
Use max freq for CSI (camera serial interface) -> new bandwidth: 250 MB/s (2000Mbps)
Use max freq for Jpeg encoding unit -> 147.4Mhz to 153.6Mhz
Faster jpg encoding
Added Badass governor
Rebased WiFi signal levels to more real-world limits
Kernel panic auto-restart 30s
Enable als at boot, to reduce battery drain and washed colors when booting
Increased Cpu freq to 1024mhz in recovery
Reduced default vm swappiness to 20
More silent binder
Suspend optimizations and bugfixes
Enabled Battery show health
Before it always showed GOOD. Now it can show GOOD, OVERHEAT, DEAD, OVERVOLTAGE, COLD
Yay! New kernel for ICS... Lemme' try it. downloading~

This kernel is Fast but I Think this would be a lot more faster of the OC would go up to 1.6Ghz even though its not Battery friendly

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...

Downloads for all devices of latest 1.6 with the battery bug fix
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 : 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

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

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?
