created this to avoid polluting the dev forum with my noobness
I've been following the kernel development from a distance, but getting more and more interested as the progress goes, for those testing it: Can I use it with any rom without compromise? For instance, camera will still work on wolfbreak's CM6?
The instructions on FreexperiaRecovery thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046609 are slightly confusing (too much info perhaps) but to do a fresh start of froyo with custom kernel i should:
1-flash a stock 2.1 with baseband 52 (or flash bb 52 separately) with flashtools
2-flash freexperiaRecovery and kernel with flashtools
3-flash baseband fix for 2.2 with freexperiaRecovery
4-flash 2.2 rom with freexperiaRecovery
5-reboot
Is that correct?
u need to flash the 2.2 rom first before the baseband patch, everything else seems about right
thanks! can't wait to try it
i'll ask here so i don't open another noob thread so sorry for the hijack
anyway, is there a custom kernel for 2.2 that has everything working? i can't seem to find a nice list of kernels with working/not working changelog, and of course it's benefits over the stock kernel
any explanation would be great

hm, not sure what you were trying to say but i was searching for a kernel not rom
At this point the custom kernel is not stable (i.e. battery drain). I'd give it a month or two before a fully working kernel is released.
yeah, i've read there's a battery drain issue with the kernel, i've waited until now, waiting a little more wouldn't hurt.

hi i am using FreeX10 beta4 hotfix1 runnin on bb52.. successfully but i cant seem to get the custom kernel to work... there are just too much info in the development section i hav been tryin to get this custom kernel to boot... but my fone keeps boot loopin
pls share your insight....
Finally decided to try a custom kernel, the zkernel for higher basebands since bb67 worked so well for me and I'm glad I've waited, not only this kernel is very stable but super easy to install.
No need to change my baseband or anything, simply flashed it with xrecovery 0.3 over my wolf's froyo rom, followed by Doomlord's fixes and after the reeboot, it was working, after two days use i've detected no issues.
Doomlord's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136940
z's original thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1135475
note 1: I've flashed z's original file and both doomlord's boot.img and wifi fix zip files, but in his thread Doomlord already provides the kernel with different boot.img for each rom.
note 2: there are two versions, but you only need the z23062011 version if the previous one gives you random shutdowns.

Hi all,
I need some testers from all available roms for x10. From stock rom and all custom roms.
Cause there are many custom roms available and they don't use all the same recovery, it's heavy-handed to create update.zips who can used by everyone. If I count a few there are:
people with a 2.2 rom without the needed files for applying custom kernel
people with a 2.2 rom with the needed files for applying custom kernel
people with a 2.2 rom and xrecovery
people with a 2.2 rom and freexperiarecovery
and so on.
my aim is it, to have one update.zip, who works for all people, no matter if they have applied a custom kernel before or have this recovery and not those...
but i can't test all roms now, cause this would need time and nerves i haven't.
Because that, i made two update.zips:
First includes:
please test this first and if this works, flash the one with the kernel, that we know if there are problems, if they come from the recovery part or the uncompatibility between rom and kernel
chargemon file whos made for FreeXperiaRecovery
FreeXperiaRecovery
Requirements:
this zip should work on all basebands, but i generally prefer bb 2.0.52 from here with bb patch for 2.2 roms from here
Second includes:
chargemon file whos made for FreeXperiaRecovery and boots custom kernel as default
kernel folder: latest custom kernel (k006) with miniloader and splboot.ko files
FreeXperiaRecovery
wifi modules for 2.2 and 2.3 roms
Kernel k011/k012 changelog:
kernel 2.6.29.6
a lil more free ram
removed UV for 998Mhz (seems to be the cause reboots)
Fix FrameCap (Thank Z)
addded all mtd partitions (Thank Z)
volume fix
compiled with new gcc 4.4.3
changed SLAB alocator to SLOB
enabled swap support
added Tiny RCU
added UV/OC (k012)
added UC (k012.1)
FPS cap removed
fixed iptables
Requirements:
Flash the ftf bundle from the latest Cm 7 release with flashtool
Only for 2.2 roms: Basebandpatch 49 from here
Please test the update.zips on your rom (but make a backup before flashing, that you can restore anything if s.th. goes wrong) and report if it works on your rom, and don't forget to tell which rom you tested on.
before installing, make sure you comply the requirements
installation:
For users who haven't FreeXperiaRecovery yet:
first install FreeXperiaRecovery v02.zip
reboot into recovery
install latest version
now boot up system and enjoy
For users who have FreeXperiaRecovery yet:
install directly latest version
now boot up system and enjoy
Legend:
FX = FreeXperia
FXR = FreeXperiaRecovery

Trying it on Trips gingerbread MIUI ROM. I'll report back!
It booted, and OC works (setCPU)! Will try it for a while to test performance and battery.
Alright, the touch and animations is very smooth with this kernel. And WiFi works!
I'll use it for a while and see if it drains much battery.
EDIT: As it seems now it drains hella lot battery. :/ Even though im using the BOOST guide and screen of profile in setCPU. Will calibrate the battery a few times and see if it helps..

It is possible, but they don't do. So if my zip works on all roms, you can simply apply your rom how it is described in the rom thread and boot it to be sure the rom works and then flash my zip. If anyone make it that way in future, everyone would have the same recovery and you wouldn't have headache

just have WLOD while restoring apps with titanium backup on Wolfbreak cm 6.1.3 V061
pd1: bluetooth dont work
ok, s.th. strange happened to me, i flashed the same zip again (i haven't edited the file or moved renamed, nothing) but after that second flashing, my recovery was broken too and i got a lot of fc's like described from many others. Now i wanted to flash freexperiarecovery without kernel to see if the problem is there or by the kernel, but can't get the zip file to work. So, I'm going to sleep now, maybe i can't see anything important at the moment cause i'm so tierd. But thanks for testing it yet on some roms
I'm now on WB CM 6 v054 and I found theard with two custom kernels, but I don't know 'which is better. FreeXperiaRecovery and k006 and I know that are somethink others. Now I don't know what kernel is the best for my x10 2.2.1 CM6 v054. Can anybody help me choose ?
Main kernel are: z/trip kernel and freexperia kernel...but i suggest you to keep stock kernel until they will be more stable!! I tried everyone but i'm in stock kernel now..you can try z/trip kernel but your battery life will be compromised!! Try only for testing is my suggestion!

probperly not because you need cwm 5 and zpk doesn't have cwm 5 and you need cwm 5 to run this rom
That would be a great thing for it to work with zpkernel. Or maybe zp kernel add a cwm5 module hun ?

To summarize: The official CM7 ROM is not yet finished to work fully like our other cm7-mods do and the CM7 devs have discontinued the development of CM7 for our mimmi. Am I right?
So why did they just say they will provide CM7 for our mimmi? I have no problem if they don't do it because of lack of developers... but saying they will but not doing so is unfair.

Unlock bootloader benefit, wifi tether by nAa kernel and CWMv5<< FTW!
ZPK << stable a lot..
Simple kernel << sad case wifi not working
Fa kernel v0.4 << nice, a lot feature (smartass,CWM5)
nAa kernel << for now is the best, wifi tether is fully native now due to added netfilter, sad: only works with minicm7 v2.1.7 ROM only or other ROM contain build in wifi source(only minicm7 v2.1.7). If use other custom ROM except minicm7 v2.1.7, all other ROM will get wifi error.
for my personal i choose nAa bcoz netfilter, have netfilter u will get more application support.
sry for my bad english >.<
Yeah, I had to do it, the comments was so good tha I decide to test it...
And I can see is so much better..!

I will be based on that for development this ROM Offical 2.3.7 from HERE
MiniCM7.
Like every other GB ROM, it does have memory issues. ICS gives plenty of memory, as much as stock, but its still in beta stage. MiniCM7 is the best we've got.
Yup, there's a lot of new ROM out there, but still got some bugs on it and likely something missing and we need to flash other zip file to fix it up. Most of the failure is about wifi connection, keybord light, force closed, network problem. This week I already used 3 rom. In the morning, I'm on prime HDv2 but right now, I'm using xmpteam rom v0.5.

MiniCM7 by nAa.
MiniCM7Pro - V21 FINAL by paul-xxx , running on stock kernel. It's the best we've got until: V03 of paul-xxx's Ice Cream Sandwich rom with fully functioning in-built WiFi. I don't want to have to flash extra zip/s to get the WiFi working - I'll unlock my bootloader, change to a custom kernel and use paul-xxx's ICS rom as soon as the WiFi just works. Plain and simple. I can't wait until V03!
[ROM] ArcMini X Remake WiFi Fixed [Links Updated] [24/2/2012]
this rom i think is very good.
just an idea
why dont you focus on stable GB rom for stock kernel?take minicm7pro as a base..and perfect it more (yep this rom is perfect, but do it more)..so that, new user come here, see you rom, download, n flash..(ofcourse they must have recovery first )..this my reasons
1. we already had a lot of gb rom using custom kernel, n new active one is x10mpteam, they doing great, so why do you want to make another?
2. we only had a couple rom using stock..and for x10mini, i dont see latest gb rom for stock, myb im wrong but after you done, you can port for them too..
MiniCM7 from nAa, with this I have 65-70mb free ram
Kernel may have something to do with it though as im on nAa-11..

i suggest x10 MP teams ROm with its kernel I have 92 mb free in every minute i can say and its very stable and improved 3d graphics just relax when you have a team like X10 MP team
I remember saying that the x10 mini is way ahead of the big x10 xperia.
And someone said that it's not true.... it is... and we still are.
Looks at the amount of roms with fixed EGL adreno 200 lib's for x10 mini.

i was using that rom too, but since nAa ported his rom and kernel I immediately switched. gintonic is outdated and laggy compared to minicm7 2.1.9. but you must unlock bootloader and flash nAa kernel to get it working. back in the day it was longer process, and we had to do it manually, but today there are simple tools to do that easy and fast (unlocking bootloader).
