[KERNEL][RAY] DooMKernel CM7 [NO LONGER MAINTAINED] - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A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

DooMKernel for FreeXperia CM7!!!​

[ requirements ]
latest FreeXperia Project CM7 ROM (available from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102523)
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) OR use CPU Setting under CyanogenMod Settings (Performance)
NoFrills CPU Control (free) to select I/O scheduler
VDD control app: IncrediControl
[OPTIONAL] CIFS Manager (free)
[OPTIONAL] Swapper 2 (free)
[OPTIONAL] xCharge Reboot Otions (paid) [app to reboot into recovery/fastboot mode]
[ 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 phone (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

Nice, thx !

I followed the instructions on how to install the boot image. But now, I'm stuck at the sony ericsson logo. Is this normal to have to wait this long for it to load, or is something wrong? The baseband matches and my bootloader's unlocked and my phone's rooted.

It certainly booted for me when I tried it out for 5-10 minutes this morning before going back to stock. Everything seemed to be working as expected but I didin't do any long-term tests.

PROCEED AT UR OWN RISK...
these high frequencies are ok only FOR SHORT duration (benchmarks/showoff/etc)...
DO NOT USE IT FOR LONG PERIOD OF TIME

---

042 is working without problems with doomkernel
usb tether is working now.
I have still probs with app2sd for xperia, there is something during installation process that ads noapp2sd flag, I can not figure out when and what is doing this, sigh...
recovery did not recognize ext partition

Yeah it crashed quite fast.
On 1.8 Ghz it was stable, but now I am using 1.6ghz with no problem since yesterday

I don't have these other phones, I only have XPERIA Arc... So I cannot guarantee any updates or newer kernels...
