Latest Kernel mod -> Go Here
Based on 4.1.B.0.431 ICS 4.0.4 Kernel, features new CPU governors and autoroot.
Q. Who would benefit from this?
Those who want to stick to stock kernel for Official ICS (4.1.A.0.562), but would still want to get the benefits of init.d scripts, and native root access!
I personally feel ICS stock kernel is more battery friendly than Night-elf RC2 kernel.
Q. Features?
- init.d support (credits DooMLoRD for showing the way)
- ro.secure=0 (that is now adb has native root access!)
- clockworkmod 5.5 (credits Night-elf)
- no other changes to stock kernel
Download
boot_ICS_plus_v5.img
Changes: Previous features +
1. Switched to Doomlord's arc ics recovery (better features)
2. Important bug-fixes. (Please update!)
boot_ICS_plus_v4.img (updated 2012-05-19)
Changes: Previous features +
1. Perfect ADB connection in recovery.
2. Short vibrate on entering recovery added
boot_stock_ICS_initd_root_cwm_v3.img
Changes: Now restores stock WIFI modules (so you can directly flash from Night-elf kernel without losing WIFI!)
Those who are using v2 without problems do not need to update!
boot_stock_ICS_initd_root_cwm_v2.img
Changes: CWM 5.5, with ADB & USB mount (credits Night-elf)
Q. How to install?
Just as you install a custom kernel.
If no wifi, just delete "modules_version" and "modules_reversion" in "/system/lib/modules" and reboot
Steps:
1. Follow this guide to install official ICS + root
(Do not install CWM)
2. If you already have DooMLoRD/nAa CWM, go to /system/bin with any root explorer and delete recovery.tar and chargemon
3. Power down device and get into FASTBOOT MODE -> switch off device hold menu key & plugin usb. (LED notification turns BLUE)
4. check fastboot with "fastboot devices"
5. flash boot image
fastboot flash boot boot.img
6. Reboot with "fastboot reboot"
7. Enjoy!
Nice job!! Thanks!!

That would be nice too.
Most important is CWM recovery.
Don't want to add it manually after flashing rom..
Yeah would be nice to see recovery, cause system recovery doesn't allow to mount sdcard in recovery mode, moreover adb cannot see phone in system recovery.

NO, NO !! His ramdisk has installer for his WiFi modules!
Would have to modify his ramdisk anyway!
Night-elf kernel is good, but it is not from latest ICS sources, I feel battery drain is a little bit more than his GB kernel!!

Yep but that is no big deal. Make a diff patch for the new ramdisk (there shouldn't be much changes, and there is just a few files on the ramdisk...) + remove res/modules folder and launch entry from init.rc.

Good one, but no busybox ?
Why is it that every time i use NE's kernel i end up with no wifi when moving to another one? It's really annoying, ffs
Oh, and your kernel seems really fluid, had no issues on gaming, while i had on nightelf's and inteks'.
Because NE kernel has own wifi modules, which not working with other kernels.
Both this is not the NE kernel's topic.

EDIT!!!:
As this post was written on the 9th of December 2011, now it becamed outdated.
At that time, this was the easieset way for root, DMCR, CWR.
Now there are easier ways to root your device.
There are newer roms, kernels that already contains the DMCR and CWR.
I do not have time to update the OP.
So please keep this in mind while you read this topic!
25.01.2012.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As there are some people, who likes to use the original factory rom, not the cooked ones, I decided to put together a brief tutorial on how to get most out of these roms (only basic steps!).
Important: All below mentioned are valid only for the devices with unlocked bootloader and running the Generic Central Europe ST18i (Ray) 4.0.2.A.0.42 (Android 2.3.4). It may work with others as well, but I haven't tested.
Disclaimer: In case that you follow this tutorial, I do not take any responsability for damaging, bricking your devices. You are doing everything at your own responsability!
With all these thingies that I collected, you'll have a rooted device, capable of dual way call recording, having the cwm recovery and freed from bloatware.
First of all make sure you have all the necessary drivers installed on your PC!
What we need:
- the Generic Central Europe ST18i (Ray) 4.0.2.A.0.42 generic factory ROM (Thanks to Jozinek and SE): Download link
- Flashtool (thanks to Androxyde): Download link
- rooting kernel (thanks to DooMLoRD): Download link
- patched factory kernel that enables the dual mode recording (thanks to skvalex): Download link
- CWM recovery install software, (SE Extreme Tweak Installer, thanks to quangnhut123): Download link
How2:
1. In case that you do not have the 4.0.2.A.0.42 rom on your device, flash it with Flashtool.
2. Boot your device, make the basic settings (language, wifi, gmail, so on...). Make sure you allow USB debugging mode in Settings/Applications/Development and to allow Unknown sources as well.
3. Switch off your device.
4. Switch it on in fastboot mode (pres and hold vol up while you connect to the usb). The BLUE led should light.
5. Flash the rooting kernel.
6. Reboot your device, check you should have superuser installed (your wifi doesn't work now, it is normal).
7. Switch off your device.
8. Switch it on in fastboot mode (pres and hold vol up while you connect to the usb). The BLUE led should light.
9. Flash the patched factory kernel that enables the dual mode recording.
10.Reboot your device, update superuser and # if needed (your wifi should be working now).
Congrats, now you have a rooted stock rom having the dual mode call recording enabled.
In order to enjoy this function, you'll need a recording software that uses this method, like: Download link
In case that you want cwm recovery as well, follow these steps:
11. Connect your switched on device, to your PC.
12. Run the SE_Extreme_Tweak_Installer and from its option window, select "CWM For Xperia Neo/ARC/ARC-S/Play/Pro/Ray", than press install. Wait till finishes.
13. In case that "Auto Reboot" was ticked, the device will reboot, otherway reboot manually your device.
Now you have CWM recovery installed as well. To use it, you should press and hold the VOL down button when you see the "SonyEriccson" logo while booting the device.
And of course now, in addition, you can get rid of the bloatware (list of junkies that can be safely removed from the device, the links are for ARC devices, but can be applied to RAY as well): Here or Here
The rooting procedure and the cwm recmode installation can be done in a lot of different ways as well. In my oppinion, this way, as explained above, is the easiest one(till now...).
UPDATE: Here is a very well optimized OC kernel with dual mode call recording (thanks to aire)
That's it. Good luck!
Hope you'll enjoy it.
If you like the tut, just hit the Thanks button!
Is doomlord's kernel necessary for the next steps? If not, isn't it much easier using the zegrush exploit?

Well, as I've mentioned : " The rooting procedure and the cwm recmode installation can be done in a lot of different ways..."
If you follow my tutorial you'll succeed 100%.
And of course there are other solutions that work 100% as well.
It is up to you to decide whichone will you follow

Yeah I've read that, so it isn't necessary to use Doomlords kernel in order tu use the patched kernel and CWM?
Also, is there a way to combine the dual mode recording kernel with this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1322610 ?
Just want to confirm as it's better to be safe. This allows me to install custom roms after right?

Yes if your rom is flashable with ClockworkMod recovery, and of course is for our phone.

In case that the custom rom you want to use is flashable through cwr method, than the answer is yes (these roms are in .zip format).

I try to find the detail about this kernel, end up is in 4pda which all in Russia.
Is this the latest kernel from aire? I saw it got at least 5 or 6 update for the kernel.
The other thing which is more interesting is in 4pda, they have this ROM REPACK4PDA, which I can't download as well.

Added aire's latest kernel to the OP. Thank you aire!
About the REPACK4PDA rom: As its name says it's for 4pda...I suppose...
The rom itself is great (made by aire), it's what I use (slightly modified by me) and I'm 100% satisfied with it.
Alhough I do not speak Russian, as I've understood from their homepage, they are preparing to release the rom on xda as well. So, patiance (it will be a nice rom), or try to download it from their site.
Hey seatone,
Installed the kernel from OP. Phone works smoother now. I tried to find the downloadlink for the repack4pda rom, but failed. The place where the link is, remains blank. Guess I'd have to register at 4pda to get it. Could you tell me what the major differences compared to a rooted and bloatware removed stock SE rom with batterymod and transparent status bar (as i have now) are?
Thanks,

Not that I don't believe you have installed this ROM and not that I don't have any experience flashing, but how did you flash a .rar file? CWM will flash .zip files but not .rar.

Good job BMW-BOY, the ROM boots and allows access to the Market. Strangely it isn't as fast as the stock ROM. I didn't take any measurements but sense panels don't scroll as smoothly and apps don't open as quickly.
For a V0.01 great work!

Can i have a stock config ,fresh from the device?
Code:
adb pull /proc/config.gz
And bmw-boy,this rom is running stock kernel?
@BMW
i just wanted to let ya know bro. But nothing you have stated in the OP is working. Zipalign doesn't work (No zipalign database), No init.d support, no working busybox run-parts, ect... just figured I'd give you the heads up.
P.S- Nice bootanimation. Its the same one I've been using in my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 rom for a while now.

Maybe ntfs-3g is not mentioned in that thread.. That is why my search did not return anything

I've attached init.d installer script below which will enable tweaks i've added to this ROM. Thanks to [MENTION] whirleyes [/MENTION].
Link are now updated! (5/5/2013)
Download ROM (mega.co.nz) HERE
Mirror Link 1 (d-h.st)HERE
NEW Update 5/5/2013 - v0.91
Update: 28/4/2013 - v0.1 Alpha
-Initial release.
Update: 30/4/2013 - v0.2 - Alpha
-Allowed to add custom bootanimation.
-Now the ROM is fully deodexed.
-Added Nano Text Editor.
Update: 1/5/2013 - v0.21 Alpha
-Added the stock kernel, it may fix the bootloop issue (the last release i forgot to put the stock kernel during the build).
Update: 2/5/2013 - v0.8 - Beta
-Removed the kernel from the ROM to get rid of error during flash. I can't customize the stock kernel to get init.d tweaks due to a locked bootloader. i'll found a way to get the it.
Update: 5/5/2013 - v0.91 - RC1
-Changed the version to Release Candicate.
-Changed the ROM name to MyFirstROM.
-Removed several apps from the /system/app because the previous ROM file are quite large (about 490MB). I will debloat more apps in this ROM soon.
thanks, will try this rom.:good:
Don't forget to post the results!

Looks awesome... maybe I'll give this Rom a try, and if I do, I post the results here.
Thanks dude!
Hi TheMrcool212,
I am trying to install this ROM with SS 3.11 on slot 2, but I get this error "Failed to write boot.img, aborting". Any clues?

Dear Heblu, dear TheMrcool212,
I imagined that was the issue, since this rom is based upon the Jelly Bean update from Motorola. Thank you so much! When and if I have time I will try with BMM and report!
Thank you again
can someone upload the rom to another link, the mega is too slow download v. with 12kb/s...
thank you in advance.

i use bmm to install this rom, but it said abort, error, status 7.
by the way, this error not happened at the beginning installation, it shows when almost the rom flash done, then it says script error.
status 7.

I've checked the updater-script for errors using Android Kitchen, i got 6 errors. I am able to fix 2 of them. But can you post any shots/pictures so i can see it?
Edit: I think it is because i got no /system/usr/bin folder in the ROM.
Edit 2: i created a folder named 'bin' in /system/usr. It may fix during the flash. Now i am uploading it.
EDIT 3: The link is up at the OP

do not worry
there are many roms now, but when I have some time I will try it also, as many others I'm sure
thanks for this and don't give up
I'm ready to test your ROM, descriptions sounds brilliant, BUT! I can't do it. First release was with error 7. Second - with boot loop, so I can't test it, because I didn't see it. Go ahead! Great job!
can we install it on stock rom ?

Yes, you can install it on top of it. But i recommend you to install on other ROM slot. Like e4f said, it got a bootloop.
EDIT 1: I'm so sorry man!!, i forgot to put the stock kernel when building the ROM. i think thats the cause of the bootloop.
EDIT 2: The new release will uploaded with the kernel. Now the link is up.
Here is a kernel we would say pretty much stock built through the sources
Build kernel from clean sources
Add features ramdisk:
busybox auto-injection (/system/xbin)
init.d support - automatically creates init.d in (/system/etc)
twrp-sony-recovery-boot-script based (Thanks @nilezon /jackfagner github script)
TWRP recovery 3.0.2-0 Modified (vol up or down when White LED)
Removed SuperSU in TWRP recovery to root because this method will not work
Systemless root support
SElinux permissive
Debugging enabled by default
Disable debugging notification icon in the status bar
Kernel insecure (ro.secure=0)
Add features Zimage:
Build with Linaro 4.9.1
Fix all errors and compilation warnings
Add voltage CPU control
Fade in/out led notifications. Thanks to @v-yadli
Implement sysfs interface for vibrator intensity (set to 23 as default, change)
Enable toggle for CRC (stock Y, change)
RIC disabled
Add and set as default Auto SMP hotplug with some mods
Add controls for optional scheduler features. Set both, arch_power and gentle_fair_sleepers to disabled by default
Note that not all resource requests will be granted, this is a custom kernel built for my private use
But I'll be ready to the experience you have with some other kernel and / or feature that will bring improvements
* Required Bootloader Unlocked!
* Installation:
Downloads:
78Kernel_v1
78Kernel_v2
78Kernel_v3
-Flash via recovery or unpack and flash boot.img via fastboot
Code:

* Root:
-Flash a Systemless SU: SuperSU-v2.78-SR1
Note:
- The first boot may take some time, and give the impression that you are in a bootloop. Just wait and it will boot up normally eventually.

(v3 supports DRM key restoration method @tobias.waldvogel, thread) Recomended!
-Flash DK.ftf
or
-Flash Restore DRM - SONY DRM FUNCTION RESTORATION FOR UB DEVICE

78Kernel_v3 build from sources (23.5.B.0.368)
*Add and set as default Auto SMP hotplug with some mods. IMPORTANT: Need to disable mpdecision in order to avoid conflicts
Open file /system/etc/set_governor.sh and delete line:
Code:
start mpdecision
*Add controls for optional scheduler features. Set both, arch_power and gentle_fair_sleepers to disabled by default
*Removed ANDROID_LOW_MEMORY_KILLER_CONSIDER_SWAP, Implemented in firmware .291 that causes swap zram problems full lag device

I will try and share my experience, it is a big job @Gustavo RD78
Nice one brov..... Im getting tempted to unlock my BL!!!
Working well on fragment ROM V4.0, thanks mate, will report if I come across any issues, but flawless so far.
i dnt know whats wrong...... unlock BL den flash tha kernel & Fragment rom, when it boot up no sign of tha kernel in kernel version so i reflashed tha kernel (via fastboot & recovery) but when tha phone boots up, it keep restarting!

Probably a problem of combining rom with the kernel
Try flash rom stock to see if the problem still persists

Make sure you are using SuperSU version recommended on the thread
SuperSU SR2 cause boot loop, SR3 should also be your problem

Actually, I will not do it.
The breeder of custom rom is responsible for verifying your rom and finding out why it does not work with my kernel
Sorry, my kernel is built for rom and custom rom based on non-highly modified stock, we do not know what's actually put inside of your constructions
78Kernel_v2
Sony has released firmware number 23.5.B.0.303
78Kernel v2 is built clean from this release and added all features of v1
Some of the differences is that in fw 291 has been added CONFIG_ANDROID_LOW_MEMORY_KILLER_CONSIDER_SWAP, (zram full) which for me is one of the causes of lags and or delays in multitasking, fw 303 behaves faster and responsive
Full list of changes can be checked on my github

I also have bootloops. The strange thing is that elite and stock kernel work without issues on Existenz. I know it's not your kernel fault, but could you help us suggesting what could be the problem? I was able to catch a kmsg http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/582b9a4d6983a/kmsg.txt
Thank you!

sorry,i have never used Advanced stock kernel before,,so can you tell me how to install this kernel,please?.my Device is on MM version and still locked boot
Good day @Gustavo RD78,
there is some possibility that you can add the app shortcuts and the quick settings tiles in a next update is that I saw it in Franco.kernel and this is only for the Nexus / pixel so it would be nice to have these functions in our Z3 , Thanks is a very good job and I tried to try the first version of your kernel 78kernel_v1 and I always enter a bootloops I hope now to try this version 2 and I will share my experiences

I was wondering if you can point me to a zip or ftf for the OS this kernel is based on, all I could find was the source code for the "Domoco" japan z3's, couldn't find anything else :\
If this really has fixed some performance issues, I WANT, my phone sometimes get's really slow from time to time and I have to restart system UI or restart completely (Like worse than a SD201)
