[KERNEL] OXYDO-ICS-05 | FPS-uncap | CWM TOUCH RECOVERY 5.0.2.8 | TWRP!!! - XPERIA X8 Original Android Development

Yes guys, you read the title right.
Now you have a kernel with touch recovery for ICS. Yeah, ICS!!! It is compiled from nAa's ICS kernel sources and the touch recovery is from alfsamsung's GB kernel. Performance is almost like that of nAa's ICS kernel.
This is what Mistev had to say regarding the kernel:
3 words: Simple. Awesome. Great.

NOTE for V03 and below : To check whether you have cypress or synaptics, type this in terminal or in adb shell
Code:
su
dmesg | grep "cyttsp-i2c"
And if you get something like this,
Code:
<6>[ 4.185259] cyttsp_i2c_probe: Successful registration cyttsp-i2c
you have cypress. If not you have synaptics.
TO ENTER TWRP YOU HAVE TO TAP THE SCREEN. Please report any bugs that you find.

Will test it right now!
Touch recovery *-*

Ok compiling instructions now.
1. Grab the kernel source and ramdisk from github. Also grab the linaro toolchain from here.(the one that says gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-2012.05-20120523_linux.tar.bz2)
2. Unpack the archives in Ubuntu or other Linux OS like LinuxMint....
3. Follow the instructions from this thread's second post. (You have to change the name of the compiler in the export command and don't use the FXP ramdisk)
4. Now you need a ramdisk for your kernel. Unpack the kernel.ftf file and then unpack kernel.sin using this tool.
5. Then modify it however you want and then repack it using the command provided in the 3rd or 4th page of the above thread. (It will take you ages to learn what file does what in the ramdisk)
6. Grab the ramdisk and Image and follow Blagus' instructions on how to create a kernel.sin.
7. After you have renamed result.elf.sin to kernel.sin put it in a folder with a loader.sin from a working custom kernel.
8. Then use Flashtool to create a bundle from Advanced>Bundle Creation. Give it a name and branding and all and you're done.
NOTE: In menuconfig you can change the name (you'll find it under general) of the kernel, but not the [email protected]#1 thingy. To change that you have to edit line 65 of mkcompile_h in the scripts directory.
NOTE 2: You have to compile your own WiFi modules if you change the name of the kernel. Do this by issuing ./build_wifi.sh in terminal. You'll get some.ko files which you have to copy to your ramdisk's modules directory and then repack it.
Any issues? PM me and I'll try to help.
