Since We have such a fantastic tutorial on how to build your own CM9, I thought I'd add one for building a kernel.
Edit: updated kernel sources for jellybean
First off:
You NEED Linux. DO NOT TRY THIS ON WINDOWS, IT WON'T WORK.
Sources: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/semc-kernel-msm7x30
https://github.com/DarkforestGroup/sony-kernel-msm7x30-ics

http://developer.sonymobile.com/wp/2011/05/06/how-to-build-a-linux-kernel/
DooMLoRD, KeiranFTW & Atarii.
Prepping:
1) Grab the toolchain I have here (Android NDK R5b), it's the only one I've been able to use that doesn't throw errors when compiling (stock based kernels): http://db.tt/hE3TmJJi Doom has provided a better toolchain https://github.com/DooMLoRD/android_prebuilt_toolchains[/QUOTE] you can get it using
Code:
git clone https://github.com/DooMLoRD/android_prebuilt_toolchains.git -b master <optional_folder_name_you_choose>
(thanks Doom!!)
Building a kernel from fxp sources
1) Terminal for any commands, file explorer for finding stuff & gedit for changes.
2) open up terminal, mkdir <name_you_want> (no spaces)
3) cd <name_you_want>
4) git clone https://github.com/freexperia/semc-kernel-msm-7x30-ics -b ics <optional_name_you_want_the_folder_to_be> (no spaces)
5) cd <optional_name_you_want_the_folder_to_be>/semc-kernel-msm-7x30-ics (if you didn't rename it)
6) (If this is after the first time, and lets say a week has past do this step, otherwise ignore) git pull (automatically updates any files)
7) First important step: Find the defconfig that fxp uses. They are located in arch/arm/config. fxp_zeus_defconfig is the name of theirs
8) copy fxp_zeus_defconfig & rename to <what_you_want_it_named>_zeus_defconfig (for example, mine will be pax_zeus_defconfig)
9) open up your defconfig & put it into another workspace, we'll mess with it later
10) Hop onto DooMLoRD's github, his we'll use for references.
11) Adding governors: https://github.com/DooMLoRD/Xperia-...mmit/bec19001ded34077d7776639834a1229b69e5f87
A1) Well, as I look into this, fxp has a ton of governors not used... (located in <name_of_kernel_folder>/drivers/cpufreq/
A2) Check the Kconfig file to see that they're all in there (they must just not be in the defconfig file)
A3) Edit the deconfig file you created in lines 467-474 removing "#" from any you want to add (and add in any you might've added by adding the line CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_<NAME_OF_GOVERNOR>=y
A4) If you want to add more governors, check out the Commits from DooMLoRD's build to add in when needed (anytime you see a "+" that means line added, "-" means line deleted)
12) Adding IO Schedulers: https://github.com/DooMLoRD/Xperia-...mmit/0ae625f7561c559d4933284f489733bf5eb66e96
B1) Navigate to <name_of_kernel>/block folder
B2) Once again, FXP has a ton of IO Schedulers added, but not used in Play kernel:
B3) Open up Kconfig.ioshced to make sure they're in there (and add any you want)
B4) Edit the defconfig file you created (lines 121-137) & fix it to your liking (same as above)
B5) If you want to add more, see Doom's commits to add 'em
13) Turning off ALS
C1) Navigate to <name_of_kernel>/arch/arm/mach-msm
C2) Open up board-semc_zeus.c
C3) Search for .als_connected (it on line 1349)
C4) Change the variable from 1 to 0
14) Overclocking
D1) open up arch/arm/mach-msm/acpuclock-7x30.c
D2) Lines 96 - 144 contain the PLL2 table, which is used to set clock speeds, note FXP can go all the way up to 2ghz, they just stop it short.
Continued in post 2 because all of this in one post 20% more awesome than XDA can handle
Pax
Cont'd from post 1
15) Building the Kernel
E1) Save your defconfig file, you'll need it now.
E2) naviage to <name_of_kernel> folder (in terminal)
E3) Type in "ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=<path_to_cross_compiler_i'll_use_min e_for_example>/home/paxchristos/Android_Source/doom_ndk/arm-eabi-4.4.3//bin/arm-eabi- make <what_you_put_here>_zeus_defconfig
E4) Type in "ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=<path_to_cross_compiler_from_above>/arm-eabi- make
E5) Sit back and relax (assuming it doesn't throw any errors, if it does, post here & I'll try to help you through them)
16) Getting the ramdisk
F1) Download a working copy of FXP's kernel (either through my zips or fxp zips)
F2) Goto here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477845, download the xperiaboottools.zip that's attached.
F3) Now what I did (you don't have to) is chmod 755 mkbootimg & split_bootimg.pl & (sudo) cp to /bin for easy calling.
F4) Navagiate in terminal to where you downloaded fxp kernel
F5) mkdir <working_folder>
F6) cp <fxp_kernel> <working_folder>
F7) cd <working folder>
F8) split_bootimg.pl <fxp_kernel>
F9) mkdir ramdisk
F10) cd ramdisk
F11) gzip -dc ../<fxp_kernel>.img-ramdisk.gz | cpio -i
F12) Now you have the ramdisk, let's futz with it.
F13) First (easiest step) is to goto default.prop & change ro.secure=1 to ro.secure=0
F14) That's mainly what we want to do with it, if you want to change the boot image, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494076 for how to do it manually, or here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513146 for the automatic way.
F15) now that we're done with the ramdisk, we'll go back to terminal
F16) find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > ../ramdisk.img
F17) cd ../
17) Putting the ramdisk & kernel together
G1) By now (hopefully) the kernel is done compiling. (time for terminal, you should still be in folder you were above)
G2) cp ~/<folder_you_put_the_kernel_source_in>/arch/arm/boot/zImage ./
G3) mkbootimg --base 0x00200000 --kernel zImage --ramdisk ramdisk.img -o <what_you_want_to_name_your_kernel>.img
18) Flashing it for testing.
H1) Keep your copy of FXP's kernel around, just in case any issues happen
H2) fastboot boot <your_kernel>.img
H3) If it boots & works, SUCCESS!! you modified your own custom kernel!
H4) If it doesn't boot (at all, just a vibrate & blank screen for 10-20 seconds) there's a problem with the ramdisk, sometimes it's bad, sometimes is needs filler, overall, it's just a pain in the butt to figure out.
H5) If it boots & bootloops the splash screen, well, that's an issue with the ramdisk again, that possibly, your ramdisk does not match you rom. Recovery, reflash rom & try again.
Courtesy of Atarii reminding me
19) Adding your wifi modules (they get built when you build the kernel) into the ramdisk
I1) Let's pretend that you haven't gotten through step F16, we're gonna add the wifi modules in.
I2) The wifi modules are located in <name_of_kernel_source_folder>/drivers/net/wireless/
I3) Copy bcm4329.ko to ~/ramdisk/working/modules/
I4) Add in the following lines to init.semc.rc
Code:
#load bcm4329 module
insmod /modules/bcm4329.ko
I5) Now your modules will autoload on boot!

Excellent guide
It may be because I'm both skeptical of us R800x users ever getting a real ICS, and the fact that going back to gingerbread sounds really tempting, but do you know / could you list the differences for compiling a gingerbread kernel for, say, CM7?
Kieran just told me to go to Sony's site. Thanks!

Now I've read over this but I'd like to know exactly what a new Linux kernal can do for us? Does it allow us to do more stuff with any custom rom we create?

Do this in place of #4 (in the guide)
4) git clone https://github.com/freexperia/semc-kernel-msm7x30 -b master <optional_name_you_want_the_folder_to_be>
& You'll get their sources for GB instead of ics
Alternatively, if you wanna do it from SEMC kernel sources,
Download them from: http://developer.sonymobile.com/cws/devworld/technology/opensource un-tar/bzip them & work from kernel/

The kernel is kinda like the nervous system of the body. It directly interacts with the hardware (which is how it is able to adjust CPU speed) and it is what allows the ROM to function.
The ROM is the rest of the body. Every other aspect of the phone. In fact, most ROMs include custom kernels. Various ROMs give you various features/enhancements/bugfixes. You will probably notice the biggest change in your phone if you load a custom ROM. Most people load the custom kernels to help with battery life as a lot of them allow you to lower the phones minimum processing speed from 245Mhz to 128MHz.
The ROM can change so many different aspects of how the phone works. There is CyanogenMod which is based off of stock Android with a lot of tweaks, bugfixes, and new features added. There is also MIUI, which is similar to the iOS style (not the same, but much closer than stock Android), and then there are a ton others out there.

This is an awesome guide, definitely recommend to all, if you're interested in getting into kernel development.
The only thing maybe worth mentioning is where to copy the compiled wifi drivers and modules (governors etc) from, after the kernel has compiled
I'm having a problem at the "Building the Kernel" step. I ran the command, albeit slightly different than you wrote, and got this error:
"make: *** No rule to make target `mjolnir_zeus_defconfig'. Stop."
Do I not have my NDK installed properly, or what?
Edit: Nevermind, was hit by a confusion spell. It's cured, and all is well. At least, for now.
btw, in the future you will want to clone: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/semc-kernel-msm7x30.git
ics branch
But FXP haven't updated kernel in a while, so you could use my CM9 kernel sources if you like: https://github.com/DarkforestGroup/sony-kernel-msm7x30-ics
master branch
Difference is, mine is made from pure Sony PLAY beta sources, while FXP use arc beta sources
I have successfully compiled a kernel for CM7. Thanks, pax, for this tut, and all other developers for their contributions!

the NDK toolchain isnt good...
i have test them and they throw un-necessary errors...
best use gcc-4.4.3 toolchain from CM repo... it works with almost all device kernels i develop for...
u can also try gcc-4.6.2 toolchain (linaro)...
a working copy of both can be found at my git repo:

Apparently I was a little premature in my findings. Having a hell of a time with the fxp sources for CM7. For some reason, I just can't get my cpu frequencies to come down from Max. DooMLoRD, what am I missing?

It's been a while since I gave an update here, but my ics kernel is doing fine. I just gave up on gingerbread. My new question: How would I go about changing recovery and such? I prefer DooMLoRD's recovery over Keiran's, but since I'm using Keiran's sources, I don't know what to do to get a different recovery.

Edit: Thanks Keiran, that worked. Like I said, I'll be poking around some more this weekend, just to see what I can mess with. Too bad I never got this far on my older phones...
looks good! so gonna try this tomorrow to build a cifs.ko module from latest Se source
watching a movies on phone, here I come
Hi great tutorial, but I'm having a problem with the wifi I have tried taking my bcm4329.ko from drivers/net/wireless and flashing it via CWM also tried moving it to system/lib/modules manually on my phone but still can't get it to work. Any idea how to fix this, its the only thing keeping me from using my own kernel

for example on jellysandwich)[/B]
- Connect usb cable
- Disable/stop HDMI in settings->app->all
- Disconnect
- settings -> xperia -> usb con ->Disable companion message
- settings -> xperia -> usb con ->Switch to the usb mode
which is not set (dont remember if it was msc or mtp)
- Connect
- Disconnect
- Switch to MTP mode
- Connect
- Disconnect
- Switch to MSC mode
- Then it worked for me for some reason..
If its not working just switch a couple of times between mtp and msc
and reconnect cable couple of times
In the end it shoulld be working in MSC mode.
[B]Only for V0.1[/B]
- If wifi is not working:
- Backup original modules (rename /system/lib/modules
to /system/lib/modulesbak)
- Flash updatewifi-signed.zip via recovery OR
- Push the contents of the
modules.zip to /system/lib/modules/ (first delete the original files)

About me
I´m a new developer for the Ray. I come from the LG gt540, for which I created TWRP ports (only touch recovery for the device).
I have now created a kernel based on the 4.1.B.0.587 sources by Sony.
It´s called:
FlyKernel
Its purpose:
- Smoothest experience possible
- Stay as close to stock as possible
- Only the most useful governors, io scheds and tweaks will be included
- Let the users have input on features
- But most important of all: Let the Ray Fly.
At the moment its very smooth and gets around 4000 in antutu (smartassv2 1,4ghz).
Let me know what you guys want in the kernel, which governers, which IO schedulers etc. I want to keep it as minimal as possible.

Im focusing on this kernel first. Ive only tested it with stock 587.
Probably gonna release an update today.

Hi!
Is this kernel support the two way call recording?
run this one (and updated wifi module) with jj 3.3 and a lot of minor mod, still fine until now.
Pretty fine kernel. I will donate when I get my payment via paypal
PS: the flykernel text in boot too slim, a bit hard to read to me.

Installation
FlashableZip:
1. Download Kernel
2. Goto Recovery
3. Flash it
DD method:
You need to root your phone first.
What is ROOT? HOW TO?
Please ASK Google!!!
1. Download kernel
2. Extract kernel.bin.md5 from *.tar.md5
3. Copy kernel.bin.md5 to somewhere you like (e.g. /sdcard)
4. Open Terminal app,use these commands
Now lets go to superuser mode
Code:
su
Now lets flash(dd) kernel to kernel partition
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/kernel.bin.md5 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15
5. Reboot to take effects
Code:
reboot
* If you type a wrong dd command,it might hard birck your phone
So please think twice before hit enter
* It is recommended that check the md5 of kernel.bin.md5
If it doesnt match 'md5.txt' in zips,dont flash to phone.
Please re-download kernel
How to check md5 on phone?
Open Terminal app (Please install busybox first )
'cd' to the folder(e.g. /sdcard) where has the file
Code:
cd /sdcard
Now get the md5
Code:
busybox md5sum -t kernel.bin.md5 >> out.txt
Now check the md5 manually

How can I flash the original kernel please? (I couldn't find a specific answer)
Copy both from stock rom kernel.bin.md5 and kernel2.bin.md5 in sdcard and then do "dd if=/sdcard/kernel.bin.md5 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15" once or do also "dd if=/sdcard/kernel2.bin.md5 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15" for the second one?

No, I tried both from the slider in dropdown menu and in settings->display->brightness. It's the same problem in both!
So by flashing ONLY kernel2.bin.md5 is enough?
Re: [Kernel][3.0.31] D- Kernel v1 #RC
I agree. The slider's 0 percent is about 60 percent. So 0 percent is about 60 percent.
Edit:
After something happened, brightness suddenly changed itself and bug is fixed.

How about switching from your previous rom? Do I need to install stock beta first?

Hi guys, it's been ages I haven't geeked on my phone. Should I be aware of particular problems if trying to install this rom coming from a locked Bootloader (used an exploit hack I think) + TWRP 2.8.7.0 + 5.1.1 (23.4.A.1.232) ?
Oops! /system/app/Force does not contain Force.apk, instead it contains ForceDoze_1.3.4_rev_38.apk.
Also, /system/app/fix doesn't contain fix.apk but com.pyler.mobileradioactivefix.apk.
Also, /system/app/Xposed.
Okay, no idea if you actually use linux or Windows (I guess the latter, concidering the funny characters of your rom-zip-files that are a nuscience in any shell), but if you do use linux, here's a simple and quick script that'll make all the directories for you. Just throw all apks that goes in app in app, then run the script there. Throw what ever needs to be in priv-app in to priv-app and run the script there.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
for file in ./*.apk
do
name="$(basename "$file" .apk)"
mkdir -p "$name"
mv "$file" "./$name"
done
Ah, /system/etc/customization/content/com/sonyericsson/wallpaperpicker/wallpapers conatins Thumbs.db. You do use Windows. Nevermind the script then.
Also, you've removed /system/app/experienceflow2livewallpaper-release - this is why the background is black (until changed by the user).

Yah, but you do realize that if you have a directory called /system/app/theme then android will look for theme.apk inside that directory? If it isn't there then the android system will go on to the next directory. If you have a file called theme-with-a-different-name.apk inside /system/app/theme, then the android system will skip that file. It's a part of google having fun making a hassle for everyone...

For removing this you have to replace that 2 files from attachments. Place them in "/system/etc" and dont forget about right permissions (rw-r--r--) . Files from stock 0.570 for D5803
Please come up with an original name Marilia, it looks like you put all the words you know together and make a name, you put effort in this, the title makes it very childish imho.

Building A Kernel For A6k
Hello Folks, Looks like A6000 Forums Are On Fire So Now I AM HErE TO POuR Oil In The FIRE
Lets Get Straight To The POint
This Guide Will Help you build a kernel for our little Precious One
Requirements:
Ubuntu[DOnt Ask How]
Required Libs like libncurses, and stuff [If you face any such error realted to libs, just google Once]
Good Internet
AT least 2GB RAM and a good processor
A bit of your time
Patience and brain
Steps:
1) Create A folder anywhere with any name you want and open it
2) Open terminal in that folder and Run This COmmand Which will install all required Libs
Code:
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential kernel-package libncurses5-dev bzip2
3)After It gets done now we need a toolchain so now type " mkdir kernel" and "cd kernel" without quotes
4) Now we will dload toolchain so first install GIT and GCC libs for ex
"sudo apt get-install git"
Now Run This to clone the toolchain
Code:
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.8
5)After toolchain gets downloaded now we need kernel sources, to simplify it clone the sources from my GIT using this command in terminal
Code:
git clone https://github.com/varunhardgamer/kernel_lenovo_a6000.git
6)After Dloading kernel sources open the kernel sources folder which may have name Semar Kernel or something like that and open BuildingKernel.txt and understand the way you need to edit Build.sh
Its not hard you just need to type the address to your kernel folder which you made
7)Now type
Code:
make ARCH=arm
and press enter
8)Then RUn
Code:
make wt86518_defconfig
9)THen Run
Code:
make menuconfig
and a popup will appear showing you all the tweaks that can be included in the kernel, select accordingly and save it
10)After you Finish tweaking it, open build.sh and edit it acordingly and then run the script by " .build.sh " in the terminal and wait till you get the zimage which is the kernel
8)Now download semar kernel r5zip and push your zimage inside it and flash your first Kernel
COmment here if you face any Errrors

Welcome. Keep up the good work. :good:
Lol, just rechecked your git.
The kernel will not compile. You need to define the toolchain.
