Bugs
Code:
[B]Fix for usb storage to pc (if not working for some reason,
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)
Support me
I dont host on moneymaking sites, because they are slow so;
Feel free to help my buy a new HTPC and donate :victory: or at least hit Thanks.

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.

No problems with Wi-Fi, just use provided modules.

Not that I doubt the first version, I just want to have a really clean kernel installation. Just like you intended the mod to be, as close as stock one

you can add wifi modules in kernel. check my git, there's kernel ramdisk that can load modules on boot. just put your modules in right folder.

Yeah, only disadvantage is that the ramdisk will get pretty big.. But I think ill do that in next release. And new govs and io scheds. Btw where can i find incremental kernel patches?

trying on pureness 10
seems working but I had to patch wifi
thanks

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.
