Great work!
Can I also use this TWRP on Custom kernels like MESA or something similar?
I mean decompile ramdisk from this kernel and use it in other kernels than KXP.
Thanks

I'm not from this area and I don't even own the device. But I think it's worth letting you guys know that you can have two recoveries in one ramdisk using chroot, because you never know when one of the recoveries may start acting up.
It's easy to implement and I recommend it. It's used in the X8 kernels, where both TWRP and CWM-touch recovery (basically on-screen nav buttons) are integrated into one ramdisk.
Just thought of letting you guys know. And awesome work champ.

How I saied I can't keep developement, I have to work and to study. It's an old work so I don't remember exactly but I saved it like "advanced stock kernel on 184fw"
so i didn't do great things, it's the stock kernel with recovery, preroot and some features in ramdisk maybe but nothing else
Sent from my ST25i using xda app-developers app
Is this faster than SSpeed kernel?
If You use roms based on the .184 fw
(TheBrainsRom and XPeria Supercharged) yes, it's smoother.

Edit 27/09/12: Removed since caused problems
Thankyou, (I haven't thx left for today), only one thing, Rom is from Gek, kernel's from me.
Hi,
I create a stock kernel with OC n stuffs but what I miss is integrated CWM. Since that is not present we were installing CWM manually. which if I create a ROM and flash the system parition is wiped and won't be able to use CWM further..
Does any one knows how to integrate CWM into Ram Disk
-- thank you
I know this doesn't answer your question ditectly but untill you figure it out, you can always integrate CWM in your rom. So that after rom flash in recovery, you get CWM right away.

Dude no Xperia device is officially supported. At least the official website's list doesn't have any Xperia device.
On Xperia S we have to either flash a custom kernel or there are a few runme.bat scripts for installing CWM.

Because it paired with CWM 6, use the single CWM 5 recovery, oh and this half screen bug only existed on ICS As far as I know

nope. its because both cwm 6 and twrp 3.x uses buffer alignment by default which should be supported by kernel 3.x which is ics default kernel on all other oem stock rom, thats why we dont hear the half screen problem on other phone. they got kernel 3.x which works perfectly fine with cmw and twp buffer alignment.
we on the other hand stuck with kernel 2.6.32 which originally for froyo, doesnt have proper buffer alignment by default, thus causing the problem.
fxp got a workaround by disabling buffer alignment when loading cwm and twrp thus eliminating the buffer bug which causing the half aroma screen.
and i did the same thing to my kernel, add fxp patch and disabling buffer alignment in cwm and twrp.
how to downgrade to cwm 5
I wanted to downgrade from CMW 6.x (that comes with KernelPanic) to CWM 5.x. Tried various methods like x-part, copying files to /system/bin and /system/xbin and one-click-installs using adb, but it will not replace the CWM 6.x. Is that because it's somehow build in with the kernel (in KernelPanic)? Or am I missing something?
It's only bug on CWM 6 , but it also half screen on TWRP
anyone remember how the fix worked?

Now It's a pain in the *** to test a rom and we have to restore rom or some sort to get back to our daily rom.
And Sony Xperia S had succeeded,I'll take it as a reference and see if we can work on this.
This is not a placeholder.

I'll be "investigating" this.And I also need all the devs help. (I'm not really an highly skilled developer,so I would really need some help here)
Devs only please. No request for tester or users that asks for ETA. Do not post any reply unrelated to development on this thread.
Keep it only for devs,and make it clean.
Devs,good luck to you guys.
Dual recovery is needed,I'll start by porting TWRP. (I'll focus on this first)
Wow. This is kick ass stuff.
Similar to what was done in G3MOD, except that here its actually dual boot, with the ROMs installed on internal storage, while there it was implemented in a slightly simpler way by packing multiple ramdisks and extracting system.img files when required to switch between ROMs.
Considering our already existing problem of not having of an expandable storage, G3MOD's implementation seems far more appealing.
I will take a look at this soon enough.
Well I didn't store a lot of things on my device,only roms and some other stuff,my internal storage is actually more than enough.
But that method seems to be more friendly on the internal storage,as we have a lot of unused phone memory. (the place where roms are installed to)
I'll look into that too.
Edit : It seems like the G3MOD project is already abandoned. But we can look at their sources at github.
We could make it load from sdcard by pressing a combination of buttons on Sony logo! We need kernel first of all! But also a way to do it.

In the first thread,Xperia S is able to load two kernel.
why is there always have to be made for locked bootloader?
custom kernel NEEDS an UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER.
how can you use a single kernel?via the patch?

I have about 2GB free so it's enough.
Plus,the plans is to install the rom on phone,not internal storage (working on TWRP at the moment though.)
Team Win Recovery Project 2.6, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added a lot of our own features.* It’s a fully touch driven user interface – no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash.* The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able.* You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.
*This is still work in progress. The touchscreen is still buggy in the recovery. Will try to find way to solve this
Thanks and credit to

And many other developer thar helps on this.
