If you flash this kernel on your go, you'll probably get bootloop, although xperia go and sola have the same specs with smaller screen and water resistance. Please wait for the devs to release the go version.

This is also a general request..We will look into it..
My request is maybe "too much" but..... I think that there are a lot of users like me, who don't want OC...
could u please release a second version which will support OC? That way we will have 2 versions.. One with oc and one without....
Eagerly waiting for CM based kernel!

Well, the problem is that in the most kernels, there is a bug and freq will always stay at max (the one that OC provides) no matter what you choose.. If you manage to fix it, then its ok

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
F.A.Q's :-
How to enter in touch recovery?
>> Press volume up button one time just after LED flashes and vibration.
Is this working on blah blah?
>> I don't know. Do some research.
[*]Why I'm unable to flash kernel.
>>Is your bootloader unlocked? Flashing kernel required a unlocked bootloader.
[*]Battery drains like hell. WTF?
>> Not kernel problem. It's your apps that are waking up device from deep sleep.
[*]Is it pre-rooted ?
>> Yes it is, FXP's rom's also comes with superuser pre-installed.
[*]Does this kernel has X or Y mod?
>> Do some research. Check thread, repo, commits etc.
[*]Which governors/IO-schedulers to use?
>> Depends on your usage. See here for more info.
[*]I lost speedy kernel after new FXP's update?
>> You must have flashed new FXP's rom without removing boot.img, flash Speedy Kernel again.
[*]I need more info on something?
>> You can find all answers here, Google is our best friend.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tips and Tricks :-
Network Settings:-
Mobile Network > Network Type Selection> Select 2G (saves battery)
Personal Settings:-
Personal > Display > Brightness > Turn Auto Brightness Off (set to lowest, increase from toggle when needed)
Personal > Display > Sleep > 30sec is more than enough (saves battery)
Personal > Location Services > Off (turn on from toggle when needed... saves battery)
Personal > Accounts & sync > Off (switch on when needed... saves battery)
System Settings:-
Developers Options > User Interface > Force GPU Rendering > ON (increases performance)
Developers Options > User Interface > Windows Sale Animations > 0.5x (reduces lags if present)
Developers Options > Apps > Background Process Limit > 2 (can use your own number... gives you more ram other words releases ram)
Performance > Memory Management > zRam > 18% default (compress memory for increased virtual capacity)
Performance > Memory Management > Allow purging of assests > ON (allows the freeing of more ram when needed)
These above settings will help you increase performance & battery life!!
I found this, if i'm not wrong it's a commit for gpu clock control of Mali400, it's possible to add it in the next release?

Already in your signatures and this has been recommended by FXP himself search CM 9.1 forum.
I still have to try this kernel and looks promising to me in Rachit's Kernel battery was way better comparing to FXP Original Kernel.

Would it be possible to turn off the led bar? Is pretty annoying in my opinion because it is always on, even with screen off!
Don't know if it is a bug of my device though. Wiped cache and dalvik cache.

The light is supposed to go off once you have booted into the system. Could you please try installing the Illumination Receiver along with the Illumination Bar Notification app? It has an option to turn on/off the LED bar along with extra control for notifications. In the meanwhile, I'll take a look at my source.
@GEKTHEBOSS : Did you too face the same issue on CM9?
Transcendence v 1.0.6

I am using the stock performance version of this kernel for a week now. it's the best kernel I have used on my xp so far, and I have tried them all
I am running it with the stock based miui v4 and it's giving me a lagfree ui and good battery life, both much better than with the stock kernel.
Got a question about the governors in this kernel though, maybe you can help me; I'm setting up profiles in setcpu and was wondering which gov/shed to set for screen-off. In another thread I read gov with -x at the end support deepsleep, others don't? And -q at the end means it has dual-core support (can turn off one core)? Any recommendations?
Thanks for supporting our device @Pwng3! Please keep updating this fine ics kernel!

I look forward to doing the little I can to make your device sexier :highfive:
Wow can't wait for this. We all need a good JB Kernel. zRAM and so many frequency oversteps, this has really got me excited!! The race is wide open . Thanks for starting this project. Good Luck .
Hey why not make a combo?
All powersave frequencies with OC?
I would like to have a combo like that!
Also add 100MHz.. very efficient at battery saving
Look forward to it
keep up the good work
LED ?
Working LED on JB ?
Yeah, make it combo so I don't have to downloaded both.

I wish I could do that. But its not possible to accommodate more values in the frequencies table in the Overclocked Version.
And I did not add 100MHz because it causes phone to lag and be unresponsive on most Governors.

@mr.drooly was my tester. I'm hoping that there were no issues.
Looks very promising, huge list of Governors, WiFi 5Ghz band and first JB Kernel with OC @ 1.2 GHz.
Testing, Performance Edition with Interactivex+SIO (200 MHz - 1.2 GHz) Will let you know.

all fast, but multitasking in this kernel very bad

Testing with skernel now, I don't think it has so much redraw problem.
I couldn't install skernel with cwm, ended by fastbooting. Please check. No any led lights when I tried to restart phone.
Sent from my MT27i using xda premium
I can't decide what version to download
I care about my battery life but I like smooth experience too...
what the people here recomend?
I use Ultimate Rom V8 (JB)
Testing for the last 20 hrs, speed is snappy overall. Multitasking (of over two apps) as pointed out isn't that great. Interactivex+SIO @ 1.2 Ghz - 200 Mhz seems the ideal for battery life which I see is better among others given the performance.
I think keyboard redraws is associated to kernel partially. I had lesser withdraws with the kernel Ashwin's Ultimate Rom. It has something to do with destroying processes which is still buggy in the port as of now.
This is the version for Sony stock based ROM

FAQ
Q : With what ROM can I use this kernel ?
A : With any ROM based on Sony stock 4.3
Q : What features will be added to next versions ?
A : I probably don't know. If you have a feature request, please use the devdb tab for it on the top of the thread.
Q : Your kernel isn't working / My phone isn't booting anymore
A : Read this whole post once more, search for your problem in thread and report it if you haven't found a solution.
Q : Can I install this kernel on locked bootloader ?
A : No ! This kernel is only for unlocked bootloader.
Q : Does this kernel include recovery ?
A : Yes ! You can access by pressing volume button when the lights blink. Volume up to go to CWM and Volume down to go to TWRP or loads from FOTA partition if you have a kernel installed..
Q : What are mpdecision and fast hotplug ?
A : This is what manage your cpu cores and decide which core will be online. Fast hotplug is a brand new hotplug that I wrote. You can find more information there
Q : How to control fast hotplug ?
A : I modified Pimp my Z1 to be compatible with fast hotplug. You can use it without any problem on your Xperia SP to configure fast hotplug (Power Management menu) but it might have bugs with other functions (you can still try, I haven't had problems yet ).
You can find it there
Q : Where does the name come from ?
A : This kernel isn't named after someone but after a pear. We use this pear to make one of the best swiss "eau de vie" called Williamine.

awesome... will try
Good luck with you development man!!! Hope u can make an kernel for CM11 too =D
Wanna try...
But could u make a flashable zip?
I am just a lazy guy. lol

The graphic performance can be more stable.
And I/O seems to be a little slow.
Benchmark score is lower than stock about 1500 with Quadrant.
Just for some advices~
Can make a flashable zip according to this guide (2nd post)

I can understand this laziness, I would have it too. So the OP is updated with flashable zip !
And thank for the review. Actually I/O and graphic performance haven't been changed so I wasn't expecting any improvement. Btw some IO schedulers might come soon.
gonns try this man
thanks will post my
review later
So far no problems at all and great battery life, especially when listening music(1% half an hour). Also could you import sound control in kernel ? It would be very useful. Thanks for great work
Recovery added?

Or u can assist me also toward recovery by myself

and what about battery ???
Does your kernel support multi core control?
I played a bit with governors using Android Tuner app but seems to me that second core is offline most of the time if not all of the time.
Also when I set it online, it start to show CPU1 states time but when screen goes off CPU1 again goes offline.

There is a recovery version for locked bootloader which should also work on ub. You should try installing it.

Try to find a option to deactivate mp-decision. If you can't find it in Android tuner try trickster mod. Once this option is deactivated you will be in control of your cores.

I think you may misunderstood me...
It's not so much about control but about CPU 2nd core is not used even when 1st core is at 100% at max frequency
and with WiFi on and Walkman playing music

Ah OK. That's strange. I haven't experienced that. Could you tell me what rom you use and your governor setting. If you know how to do it a dmesg could also be useful.

Stock JB .201 and default ondemand governor.
Also tried with SmartassV2 and intellidemand.
When I enable CPU1 with Android tuner it works fine according to active CPU governor
but when screen goes off CPU1 goes offline and stays offline.
Or maybe I'm just not seeing it works?
Here is dmesg output...

I just tried to put performance governor in action...
and when I enable it and set both cores online it works at full throttle but when screen goes off so does 2nd core

Of it's only when screen is off its actually a feature. But this will be optional in next version.

It's OK to go offline when screen is off, that's perfectly OK but when you start using your phone it stays offline.
I tried AdvStd kernel .201 and it switches CPU1 core OK...
Also Doomlord's V10 fix2 working fine, maybe, I would dare to say too much of an CPU1 active
maybe that's why phone gets warmer when using DoomLord's kernel.
