[KERNEL][MINI] DooMKernel [NO LONGER MAINTAINED] - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

hi i will soon be discontinuing support and closing down my (DooMKernel) threads for the following devices:
Xperia Ray
Xperia Mini
Xperia Mini Pro
Xperia Neo
RIGHT NOW I AM CLOSING DOWN THIS THREAD
since i only have the Xperia ARC with me, its becoming difficult for me to manage so many devices, especially since CM7 kernel will require different kernel sources (even MiUI), the task is going to get tougher for me... also I am getting busy with some personal work so wont be able to dedicate a lot of time for the devices which i dont even have...
i have asked the Xperia Play users to think abt donating a device to me...
if they want then they can do so, then i will continue work on PLAY too... but if they are not willing, then even that kernel will be closed down...
currently hartej has Xperia Ray and will be working on the kernel for that device (i will help him get started and working )...
another thing, my dear friend Napstar is an awesome dev, he is currently working on Ideos X6 kernel/recovery/other stuff, i keep helping him out when ever he needs help ... he is willing to help me out but we will need that device with us to continue work... so if for any of the above devices you guys are willing to donate a device to him/us, i am sure he/we will continue work on kernel and much much more
i invite advanced users who have knowledge abt compiling kernels to contact me... i can help them out to keep the kernels up for that device...
for technical queries u can always send p.m. to me
hope u guys understand this...
regards,
DooMLoRD
---------------------------
hello guys!
i am new to kernel development but i think this kernel would be useful for a lot of ppl using stock SE 4.0.A.2.368 FW...
I DONT HAVE THE DEVICE SO NEED SOMEONE TO TEST IT!

[ requirements ]
stock SE 4.0.A.2.368 FW (available from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227149 )
bootloader unlocked
working fastboot
u have read this: [How-To] Safely test custom kernels / custom ROMs and get back to stock SE 2.3 ROM
android app for overclocking like SetCPU (paid) or NoFrills CPU Control (free)
NoFrills CPU Control (free) to select I/O scheduler
VDD control app: IncrediControl
[OPTIONAL] CIFS Manager (free)
[OPTIONAL] Swapper 2 (free)
[ additional info ]
ok time for some gyan!
see each cpu/chip is different
each is unique and has different tolerances
slowly keep increasing the frequency
check its stability for 5-10 hrs
check for random reboots
check which one is best suitable for ur device
if u start getting reboots/freezes then throttle back and use lower frequencies
remember just because someone elses device was able to work at that frequency/voltage doesnt mean that ur phone can support/handle that frequency/voltage
i would recommend that u DO NOT use high frequencies for long time! this may damage ur device!
[*]the high frequencies are just for temporary boost/benchmarks/showoff
[*]you have been warned!
[ how to install ]
download the boot.img
save the boot.img in the folder with fastboot binaries (fastboot.exe files)
power down device
start device in fastboot mode
use the following command to flash the boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
reboot phone and enjoy the kernel
FOR OVERCLOCKING
start SetCPU/NoFrills CPU Control app on ur Mini (or any other app which supports overclocking) (u may get a popup asking for SuperUser permissions, click ok/yes/allow)
now slowly increase the MAX slider to the right (one notch at a time) to increase the maximum frequency limit
DO NOT JUMP TO THE LAST POSSIBLE FREQUENCY
SLOWLY increase the frequency one notch at a time and do stability/testing for few hours

hey guys here i am attaching a template update.zip which has been tested to work on the recovery provided here... u can add ur stuff to that file and edit the updater-script so that the u can flash ur files via this recovery...
basically it contains the correct combination of update-binary & mounting syntax...
this file is NOT required for normal/general users
TEMPLATE UPDATE.ZIP (v1)
cheers!

is there any app or method to root sk17i without unlocking bootloader?

Is it okay that my boot.img file size is about 6MB ?
Or it should be 4 ?
Oops I was thinking that im writing in Mini Pro kernel...

Will it be included in future CM7 port ? Since it seems you're part of freeXperia team...

After installing the device DooMKernel problems with the buttons. Buttons "volume" does not work, the button "Home" became "volume" button, "Back" button is not lit. Can this be fixed? Thank you.

Hi since my kernels are highly configurable it would be easier to bug hunt if
