Same here, probably meaning gintonic hasn´t wifi built from sources. Which ROM has?
Edit: OK, I can see now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415026
minicm7pro v21 wifi not working! mean it doesnt have build in Wifi built from sources
Awsm.....Awsm....been waiting for this so long... Thanks
And ppl only Mini CM7-2.1.7 By Nobodyatall has Wifi Bilt from siurces...so Wifi works only woth MIni CM7-2.1.7
Am So happy
Thank you so much.
does this kernel work with other roms or only the named above ?
Guys, if you're having Wifi issues, just use nAa's MiniCM with this kernel

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 !!

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.

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

Before unlocking your bootloader, read this thread
If you brick your device, you are the sole responsible.
Preface:
Read through this post. Don't rush into flashing. Be sure you understand the process before you start or you risk damaging your device
This is a custom 2.6.32 kernel developed for Android Jellybean 4.x. However, as of nAa-06 Android gingerbread is also supported. This kernel only works for robyn, a.k.a. X10mini
Do NOT try this kernel on other Android versions or phones - you are totally unsupported
This kernel uses a custom mtd partitioning with larger /system partition to hold the extra JB calories. If you are moving from another custom kernel, EXCEPT 2.6.29-nAa-jb to this one, you MUST first format /system /data and /cache via the embedded CWM recovery
[*] If you want to flash another kernel after having flashed this one, you MUST first format /system /data and /cache via the embedded CWM recovery

VDD levels
From 03 onwards, I've ported the vddlevels functionality from msm7x30 so that we can variably change the voltage level of the frequency we want without the need for external modules.
The current voltage information is available at:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
E.g. the defaults after flashing the kernel should be:
[email protected]:/ # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels
122880: 3
245760: 4
320000: 5
480000: 6
604800: 7
614400: 7
633600: 7
652800: 7
672000: 7
691200: 7
710400: 7
729600: 7
748800: 7
768000: 7
787200: 7
806400: 7
825600: 7
844800: 7
864000: 7
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To change for example the voltage level of the 122880 frequency, you could do:
echo '122880 0' > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you cat this file again, you should see that the voltage level is picked up. The new voltage level is picked up when the CPU will scale to the particular frequency level.
The undervolting tickbox in the 'Performance Settings' of the latest MiniCM10 nightlies already uses the new interface. The values that are set there are the same ones as those passed by the old undervolting module:
[email protected]:/ # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels
122880: 0
245760: 2
320000: 3
480000: 5
604800: 6
614400: 7
633600: 7
652800: 7
672000: 7
691200: 7
710400: 7
729600: 7
748800: 7
768000: 7
787200: 7
806400: 7
825600: 7
844800: 7
864000: 7

Do I need undervolting?
You dont NEED undervolting. It can save though hours of some battery life during the day.
Overvolting?
Even though the interface allows you to overvolt, I don't suggest doing so. It will result to instabilities or crashes and is totally unsupported.
Performance?
Undervolting decreases the performance results - this is to be expected.
Performance comparison vs .29 kernel
+20%-30%
Bugs confirmed:
- Cypress is not as smooth as with .29
- Bluetooth is not pairing sometimes

i'll will explain a little more the charts later, but have not much time now...
some raw data first :
all has been done at 729MHz
on RC .32 :
antutu : fps2D:
just to have an overview of perf on .29 (reference), .32-alpha1 and .32-RC (that you can say it is the released kernel)
as you can see, .32-RC is about to be as good as .29 (if not better!) but alpha1 was not that efficient... some long work has been done in between
most of the work has been perform on IO optimising and 2D/3D that where extremely poor on the first .32 builds
__________________________________
now some other charts and explanations:
.32-RC is much more efficient on 2D/3D than .29 :
this chart shows the improvement on 3D mostly
__________________________________
on that second chart, the results are (.32 perf / .29 perf)*100 :
so these results are percentages compared to .29
noticeable points:
alpha was extremely poor on IO (45% of what did .29) and 3D (35% of the reference)
whereas .32-RC has higher 3D perf than .29 and so is more than 100% (133%)[/B] which is really cool and promising
many thanks to nAa for the great work done !!! and many thanks to D_d for that awesome kernel boot-animation !

Re: [KERNEL] 2.6.32.60-nAa-jb-02 [6/2/2013] Custom JB kernel + CWM Recovery
For a external rev, is see this 2 bugs is not for degrade is for help,
1., the lights don't work, is only in higher light and I can turn down is a minimal but I report it
2., the governors of cpu don't work is always on ondemand this is cause to consume to much the battery
3., mmm no for the moment

Thank you so much! You keep our mini alive! I can say this is the biggest acheivement for the mini! Thanks
#BUG
Please fix the brightness issue
Only for x10 mini robyn??
What about x10 mini pro mimmi???
thanks very much. Can you port 2.6.32.60 kernel for GB - Mini CM 7.1 - .2.2.1 ?
Seems like u ported 2.6.30 kernel can't wait to see 2.6.32 alpha for x10 mini

Please guys,
Let's focus on development and bug-hunting. Flaming a thread is not useful at any way and it opens the way for silly conflicts between other members too.
Regards, D_d
@nAa will you port this kernel to mimmi?
Great job!! With this kernel the mini is clearly lagg-less!
About bug hunting - undervolt doesn't work - the phone freezes and reboots after choosing this option.

You install the provided software in your phone and you're sole responsible for what may happen. Can't be blamed if your warranty is now void either. Even coffee may taste different afterwards!
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!

I'm looking into that!
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.

So I guess it's a blocked road to have GPU OC...

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
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...
Ka.
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
hey I will test coconut version but have no idfea how to download from link provided by you when will download first will write if it boot and then will try one day how it works
Testing Ka-Cocunot
Edited:
Screen is wierd, have some horizontal stripes and its faded.
Im using xNXT 7 rom, Project Fluid and RPengine tweaks.

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.
