Intro
Ok, this will be another fun.
Again, my first attempt (like FroyoBread and GingerDX!) to build a custom Linux kernel for a phone. I've just found some free time this weekend This time, this is a kernel. Again, you can guess it's a Linux kernel having my customized features. We will gradually see what can be done
The main goal is to have a fast, smooth, lightweight kernel with special features.
This Linux kernel is based on our great FreeXperia Project (Jerpelea) kernel. Thank you for your unbelievable contribution for our Xperias. I still use racht's great compiling machine for this project. Thank you racht.
Features
Linux 2.6.29
Default GingerDX logo
X8Gesture / AX8MT for (fake) dual touch
ext 2/3/4 support
FXP's merged minmax / smartass / smartass V2 governor
netfilter / iptables
swap. NOT recommended.
MDDI fix
Brain **** Scheduler
Known bugs
None (?)
Requirements
Unlocked bootloader
Flashtool 2.9.1
Desire to void your warranty!
Downloads
v004
v003
v002
v001
Install instruction
1. Download
2. Turn off the phone
3. Run flashtool
4. Press Flash, choose downloaded file
5. Turn on phone while pressing back button
6. Wait till progress finishes
7. Unplug the phone, turn it on back
8. Enjoy.
Notice
1. This kernel is tested by me only on GingerDX. I don't test with other ROMs, so it is only supported if you are using GingerDX. (Perhaps this will change in future, but not now)
2. This kernel is written for E15i. I don't have E15a, so if you have problems with E15a, I cannot help.
3. This kernel is in development. It may contain bugs. If you have bugs (reboot, something not working, etc...), post it here. Don't send me PM for technical problems. I will not answer most of technical PMs
4. Incompatible with FXP ROM. Wifi will not work on his ROM.
5. Source: it has been on github for a long time but how come I forgot to put the link here @[email protected]
Thanks
Thanks go to the_laser, jerpelea, racht, nobodyAtall, zdzihu, Bin4ry and lots of other contributors...

You like my kernel? Feel free to
. I'd like some beer in this hot summer!
Wow dx, you are truly rocking X8!
Amazing job, im going to wait a little bit til this gets better!!!
Goodbye!
I agree with the comment before mine
Keep up the good work...
Can this be flashed on top of gdx ROM or we need to do it from stock ROM?
Sent from my X8 using xda premium
thanks so much dx, you are really awesome
this kernel can be used with other rom, like mini cm? thanks u
wow.. thanks and keep it up bro..
ps. noob here about this kernel thing, do I need to unlock first the bootloader or just flash it? Sorry co'z i don't see it in the installation procedure..thanks
Thanks, doixanh, you're the man! Although i'll keep my paws away from my bootloader for a little longer until all this custom kernel thing settles down
Keep up the awesome work!
Well dx, what word should we use to describe you? I'm just happy to see you joining this another fun time. Thks for such good job.

Don't get disappointed for them
Yes I remember Angga has the same question regarding wifi, it will be fix soon
GJ, DX
anyways... shouldn't u have a warning of some sort to remove the modules already included in your kernel? it will mess up the memory addressing and cause bootloops, no?
also, requirements should have "Unlocked bootloader" too for those ignorant twits
Wow, nice worck!!!

Wow! You're so great. Maybe you can be one of the president of SE. Nice bro.
Can't boot with stock rom. Appear the GDX boot image but then go to black screen.
Thanks but I guess it will be hard for just one man to develop a kernel and a rom at the same time....so i appreciate all of this contribution to this community

With zdzihu & tkymgr's kernels running on bb67 I'm switching my rom to them as well
---------------------------------------------------------------
This rom is based on Formels' MIUI 1.3.18 for Nexus 1. I mix it with mostly Z & J's roms.
Credits:
1. Formels which this rom is based on
2. Z & J for FreeX10 that starts it all and allow us to use freely
3. Bin4ry and many other devs involved in the bootloader cracking
4. Trip for porting Miui to x10 which provides a great tutorial of mixing the rom
5. Wolfbreak, Z & J for the hd video recording
6. Zdzihu, tkymgr & DoomLord for the Kernels
7. All devs in X10 community that make us spoilt of choices
8. Everyone that involves in the MIUI development
Working: Should be the same as every 2.2 roms out there
Not working/known bugs:
1. Camera zoom and Video autofocus
2. Barcode scanner QR code
3. Video on Froyo Stock Camera will FC (workaround: use Miui Camera for video recording)
Miui 1.3.18v4 Link (Do Not Mirror):

http://hotfile.com/dl/122381290/d85a290/Miui_1.3.18v4_Formel-Cobrato.zip.html
Instructions:
1. (for bb49-52 users only) Flash bb67 using flash tool
2. (for new users only) Do a factory reset in xRecovery
3. Flash rom (data will not be wiped unless you do step 2)
4. Reboot until signal
5. Flash framework patch or multi-lang pack (pls download from v3 rom)
6. Add in scripts to GScriptLite - RebootRecovery, Dualboot, Reboot10 ...

------------------------------------------------------------
Useful Scripts
I have included GScriptLite and some useful scripts:
You need to do it once only: Open GScriptLite --> Add Script --> Load File --> Add the following scripts 1 by 1 (tick SU)
- RecoveryBoot
- FacebookContact
- default_stock
- default_custom
Then,
To boot into xRecovery, select RecoveryBoot from GScriptLite
To use stock kernel as default, select default_stock
To use custom kernel as default, select default_custom
To un-restrict facebook contact data, select FacebookContact (run once only)
-----------------------------------------------------------
FAQ
Please refrain from posting comments that is OT and don't post questions that have been asked and answered several times in other threads:
Q. No signal / phone reboots?
A. Check your baseband or go into dev tool, bad behavior and crash system server
Q. Battery drain fast?
A. There are many tutorials out there to improve your battery life and I have absolutely no clue what's wrong with your battery
Q. Don't have my language?
A. This rom comes with limited language support - please look for MIUI 1.3.18 language packs
-----------------------------------------------------------
Finally, This rom is FINAL
Unless the great devs (j, z & t etc) have fixes for those known issues, I'm satified with it and use it daily
Again if you don't like it or it doesn't work out for you, there are many good ones around
If you like it please hit the Thanks button
(p.s. If anyone is interested to mix rom, the date of the files in the rom will give you a good idea which rom I use )
So glad to see you back Cobrato, Will download & test this, Thank you

Unlocking Bootloader voids your warranty however you can relock the bootloader!!! Please think about what you do before reading on
Great kudos to the_laser, his original thread is here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17384177&postcount=3
Requirements:
at least Froyo or Gingerbread Android
unlocked BootLoader
same Baseband as for any custom rom
Instructions:
How to Lock and Unlock the Bootloader : Thread by Spyder-X with Instructions
Please make sure to delete the following modules if present in /system/lib/modules/ this is really important otherwise phone might reboot due to unloading adresses have changed : delete x8oc.ko, x8uv.ko, cyctma300_ser.ko, x8mddi.ko, ext3/4.ko jbd(2).ko or mt.ko
except OC everything is already in Kernel, please do not try to insmod current x8oc/uv module needs to be recompiled with new addresses
unpack the Kernel zip and place ftf file in firmware folder of flashtool
select flash and choose ZombiePanic
flash like usual
Features
no touchbug with GB roms
Tun/Tap
Overclocking (and undervolted)
built in Multitouch
mddi patched!
netfilter
iptables/xtables
ASHMEM/PMEM/SHMEM
EXT3/4 JBD(2)
USB RNDIS/RMNET (one step closer to native USB Tethering)
partial USB Host Side (not yet fully working)
alot more filesystems supported (CIFS,CD_ROM ISO,etc.)
few performance tweaks on performance govenor, smartass would be nicer maybe next time after i get permission
Bugs
none known so far
Download
Again you do this at your own risk!
Download ZombiePanic Kernel v1.63
At the Moment I advise to not use Overclocking as I still need to patch some PLL values which means OC maybe slower than set to 600 MHz
Download Zombie Panic Extreme Edition
Warning: Do not use if you are a regular user, its for hardcore overclockers. Zombie Panic Extreme Overclocking Edition be careful with Overclocking!
Features:
- upto 864 MHz with patched PLL
- features (and maybe bugs) from ZPKernel v1.61 integrated .
might be unstable with higher frequencies!! be careful do not set cpu speed on boot while checking frequencies
I am not responsible for bricked devices. Do at your own risk.
Download Zombie Panic Extreme Overclocking Edition
Code:
v1.63
-worked on overall snappiness, system should react faster overall
v1.62
-for me stable again. sorry about reboots it was caused by "fixed" touchdriver, i have rewritten some part and now its fine again! (also running super user v3 without issues so far)
v1.61
-found the issue on stability/performance loss (in acpuclock.c)
v1.59
-improved stability (a nat settings was causing a few issues)
-performance in booting might be a bit better
v1.58
-fixed swiping issue in touchdriver from the right or the bottom while finger was "outside" the screen

https://github.com/slade87
This Kernel is not using FXP or other sources, i started from scratch with SE kernel 492.
no need with Kernel v1.2
Just in case anyone wants to use DroidWall which uses one xtable module as well which is netfilter owner, extrace the zip file and put on /system/lib/modules/xt_owner.ko
edit hw_config.sh in /system/etc/ at end and include this line:
insmod /system/lib/modules/xt_owner.ko
and droidwall is working like it should.
next kernel will have this also included.
Great work mate!. Im working on preroot kernel you should also include it.
Btw, can you share sources for use some things, thanks.
edit: if you want a initlogo, send me ramdisk + png, and ill send you back modded initlogo
Great work mate!!! don't want to get off topic, and sorry if i do but is there a chance to get a version for x10 mini too???

Mate, you should be able to help yourself in such case, before doing that boot loader/kernel thingy :/ you also could have provided more info...
well, first steps I think::
1) if your touchscreen is only working WEIRD I guess you just have the power cable plugged in... unplug it, wait few seconds and then your touchscreen should response as usual. otherwise ref lash default se kernel...
2) if touchscreen does not work anymore... well flash default kernel and wait or build own custom kernel

update to kernel 1.2
slade87 Thank you. you need to refine multi-touch.
Been playing around with Kernel development and created an overclocked kernel for the 4.0.2.A.0 stock Rom.
There's nothing too speciall in it at the moment, but lets you overclock the Ray to 1.9Ghz using the source released by SE and the modified CPU steps that IF2 posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1165355
There's no custom bootloader/Clockwork mod and no additional governers (at the moment) although I may add these in future as I learn more.
It seems to work well enough, and everything seems to be working as standard. I experience random lock-ups at 1.9 and occasionally 1.8Ghz, especially when it goes into/out of sleep when the screen turns off. Lower frequencies seem stable though.
This is released as-is, I'm using it myself but I can't be held responsible for any instabilities or failures you might experience. Just thought it might be of use to some people.
The new .img file can be downloaded from here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17615284/4.0.2.A.0-Overclock.img
To install just use fastboot in the usual way. To return to stock, extract kernel.sin from the official update image using WinZip/WinRar etc and flash using fastboot again.
Thanks a lot hartej !
Just flashed it, seems to work as described. I OC to 1.4 Ghz
Will report back if there is any issue.
Looking forward for additional CPU governors, insecure kernel, autoroot and clockwork recovery
Thanks again for your hard work

Not really had any time unfortunately due to work, but if you've updated the defconfig for the Ray I might have a bash at your sources in the morning (still don't understand them!)
Thanks again though - if it wasn't for your help and the fact you stopped developing for the Ray I'd never had started playing about with kernels myself!

This is all pretty new to me, so don't expect too much too fast!
In future I may look at CM7 images but currently I'm on the stock firmware (at least until the flash in CM7 is fixed) and as I have to use the phone daily I'm not prepared to switch between firmwares to be developing for different sources at this time.
I've been using CM7 on my other devices (HTC Desire and ZTE Blade) so will most likely switch to it when some of the bugs have been worked out.When this happens I'll look at the CM7 Kernel.
Before all!
Warning! Questions like can this kernel make me a coffee or does it have this and that from that kernel, or will it brick my phone or does it have rating "R" or can it do this and this. Will new version have this and that... Simple answer: I DON'T KNOW! God gave us free will! Let's use it! Use my kernel or someone else's. Like my kernel or don't. I don't f***ing care and on the end enjoy! Mesage to all XDA bully kinda folks: Make love and NOT fight
Kernel base is clean 3.0.1.G.0.75
So in short this kernel is more like game. In sense it will contain backports from diff kernel build's and it will include already ported stuff.
dKernel 0.1:

Sounds good.
XGin 6.2 : (CWM install...I'm a bit puzzled here. Because on my device, xRecovery install works better. I tried both, works on both types. But when I use CWM I have some lag. If I install xRec, is perfect. Hm...)

Having stock kernel, from where I stand, test results are the same as in XGin 6.1. concerning Linpack, AnTuTu and Quadrant. I attach screenshots bellow. Well, still a great Rom, the best, good battery life and , of course, Cypress users like me have to add ax8mt.ko module again....
After checking FB Indonesia, looks like the Changelog mostly reffers to tweaking the Rom with the existing , rich, .apk's and making it Compatible with custom kernel. So it looks like the problem lies with me, that I still have Stock kernel...
Attached a Screenshot from Kryshna Yana, from FB Indo, showing great results with diferent Kernel.
Thanks for that,
And for a great job.
I feel there is not enough importance given to this great Rom.
on the other hand is true that I use XGin on a day to day basis from the beginning, so mabe I am a bit bias. But anyways the rom is stable, smooth, and just suitable to my use and to anyone that needs a stable, reliable, no FC and no OC either. Great battery life, 1% loss over night.
All credits to Rieken Yuki : thank you master for a great ROM.
Also to Mika Dee for the site and support.
Credits go deeper - to Shpit, the original XGin Dev, FrogyFurnetal for contribution, other Indo users and Devs and of course to original CM6, CM7 dev. team. As I understand, Rom is ported from Hero.
Thanks to anyone who contributed.

thanks to admin, so reserve post for me, thank you for elderduke (thx bro)
Shpit, KuyaGaol, FrogyFurnetal (Lasan in xda), doixanh, nobodyAtall, and everything in xda big thanks to you all.
Screenshots with results
Results in Linpack: (Jit enabled) : 7.4-7.5
Results in Quadrant (@600): 1160 (2d: 216, 3d: 383)
AnTuTu: 1443 - but I have quite low card values...
Modules: default is the synaptics -x8gestures.
if you have cypress, add a ax8mt.ko module, change permissions, and rename it to x8gestures....
ADDED: Mastah Rieken Yuki gave me the fix for CMparts, now we have OC and UV on this ROM. Great work!!
All credits to Rieken Yuki!!
Hit post above.
I'LL test it!
i like w8 look out!
@Op, I used Xgin when shpit was behind it, and that was so fun . But, my guess is that ppl even don´t know it too much since Rieken doesn´t play here on XDA, and the OP from Xgin thread is not updating it anymore . Good to know that indo ppl still developing it
Cheers,

Yes, agreed, and seeing that Shpit's XGIN Op did not update, - not to mention changed his XDA name - I decided to post XGin 6.1 for now. We'll see in future what happens. For the moment Rieken Yuki is porting the new nightlies from Hero, but I cannot give ETA for new version. This version I consider it deserves more attention.
Enjoy,
Cheers
Ok my experience:
-Good performance, except the transistion animation, its slow sometimes.
-The boot time is ok, fast.
-I have no problem with bluetooth and wifi.
Bug:
-if i choose clockworkmod on reboot menu, it doesnt enter to it!
I'still testing it! i hope i can do a short review video for the weekend!

Do you know if he is managing to make his on kernel for this ROM?
Edit: About SIMLock, if you unlock bootloader, you will have to unlock sim again, but I didn´t see anyone who did it already. Everyone who unlocked, said that asks Blagus for the fix, but seems that he is not answering, or ppl aren´t giving the expected feedback on the thread. (sry for the OT)

No idea atm ...but I do not have the bootloader unlocked. reason: I had a simlock on my phone...experts say unlocking will re-appear that simlock. Do u know if is true or not? Anyways for that reason I did not ask about kernel, but I will asap.
I updated the thread but only upto 6.0 version.i saw 6.1 version,but there was no changelog and i couldnt update the thread anymore.
On topic-alfs kernel works like a charm for this rom,try it.

And yes,unlocking BL will restore sim lock.

Sorry for that , but I posted enough things (changelog, new link, etc) and also I thought the title deserves attention : Rieken Yuki, and not Shpit (thank you for all the work done) anymore.
Thanks for the info with unlocking and for the info on Alfs' kernel, unfortunately I cannot (should not, right? ) unlock it.
Could you be so kind post some Antutu/Quadrant/linpack results with Alfs?
I have no pc right now,and i have nAa kernel for miniCM...if i had alfs kernel i would install xGin...sorry :/
You could unlock your phone if you are willing to pay for another sim unlocking.you have no choce.or,buy another sim card from the phone operator where you bought your x8.

no way, unfortunately, that is not applicable. diferent countries.
But that's off-topic.
When you can, if you remember. No rush. We will be waiting some results.
But meanwhile, do you think nAa kernel is not compatible to XGin? Could you see into that? or you know for a fact?

For the moment 6.1. Rom is build to work with kernel Rom. If you check above, nAa Kernel is known not to work with a multitude of Roms. Different would be Alf's Kernel which is known to work on most Roms.
Anyways, the rom is supposed to be installed with xRecovery, so....you can try to do the following:
-go back to stock Kernel, install XGin with xRecovery
- then install Alfs with the patch, then see if that works.
That's all I have for now.
Keep well,
