{Update: 9/Apr/12}[Custom Kernels Now For Froyo] - XPERIA X8 Original Android Development

I have only tried this on FroyoPro (all versions) with LinuxDX & AlfsGDX v05/6/7/8. Please try it with your favourite rom/kernel combination and report the results here!
1: Flash FroyoPro.
2: Flash x8FroyoPro-Alfsv8+AllFixv3.zip.
3: Reboot, no need to flash anything else.
Or for older kernels:
Ok this is really easy...
1: Flash Froyo rom & custom kernel of your choice. (Any order.)
2: If you want to use Alfasamsung's Alfsv05/6/7 Kernel: Flash "x8AlfsKernelAllin1FixV2.zip" in ClockWorkMod.
OR
2: If you want to use Doixanh's LinuxDX Kernel: Flash "x8LDXKernelAllin1FixFroyo.zip" in ClockWorkMod.
3: WiFi works now, press thanks.
This is for Froyo roms only!​Please Note: Read everything you can in kernel threads & Flashtool thread/website.
I recommend the capped versions of Alfs kernel however uncapped will score higher in bench mark tests.
I also recommend not using compcache and using swap instead. More info in Enable Swap 4 X8.
You only need to flash one of the fixes attached after flashing your ROM, no other flashing necessary!

Returning To Stock Kernel:
To return to stock kernel with out losing your data & with ClockWorkMod & XRecovery enabled:
(No guarantee!!! Try at your own data's risk! However this now works all the time for me.)
1: Flash "x8lrakkarlsBack2StockKernel4Froyo.zip" in ClockWorkMod. Download Here or Mirror.
2: Flash "E15_Stock_Kernel.ftf" with Flashtool. Download stock kernel Here or Mirror.
3: WiFi, offline charging, USB mount, ClockWorkMod/XRecovery all working properly with stock kernel, click thanks!
Please Note: This has only been tested on FroyoPro v2.3! Any other bugs come up, report them here!

Change-Log/Extras:
UPDATED: 26/Jan/12
Added "x8AlfsKernelAllin1FixV2.zip".
This fixes compcache, sd mounting (not that I personally had a problem before), WiFi for Froyo, USB mount, etc
UPDATED: 16/Jan/12
Removed, renamed and re-uploaded all files as per users requests. (Removed my name from files.)
New fix for Doixanh's LinuxDX Kernel "x8LDXKernelAllin1Fix.zip". USB working now. Nice, stable kernel, with no oc. Please test for other bugs.
"x8CustomKernelWifiFix4Froyo.zip" outdated now but in case any person wishes to download, moved it to post#3.
UPDATED: 14/Jan/12
Lots of guide changes and thread updates. It is now much easier for you to do what you want!
Returning to stock kernel is now (hopefully) quick, easy & bug free.
I have now tried the WiFi fix with LinuxDX & WiFi is working but USB mount is not. Didn't check anything else.
UPDATED: 13/Jan/12
"x8lrakkarlsBack2StockKernel4Froyo.zip"
To return to stock kernel but with ClockWorkMod & XRecovery enabled. Ready to flash another rom.
UPDATED: 12/Jan/12
Added "x8lrakkarlsAlfsKernelAllin1Fix4Froyo.zip" as it seemed to be needed.
Flash this if you are using Alfs Kernel on Froyo. It will fix WiFi, USB & offline charging with just one zip.
UPDATED: 11/Jan/12
"x8lrakkarlsBack2StockKernelWifiFix4FroyoV2.zip"
Should work in XRecovery now.
UPDATED: 11/Jan/12
"x8lrakkarlsBack2StockKernelWifiFix4Froyo.zip"
with vold and chargemon, offline charging & USB works now haha.
Please re-download if you were one of the 3 people who downloaded this fix!!!

Okey, I will try nAa kernel with froyo pro if you want but i will wait for rom update. Will be new version for CWM?

Yap, i have tried with Floyo made by racht.
The results are:
Floyo 1.0.0 + nAa Kernel = GSM doesnt work
Floyo 1.0.0 + LinuxDX = Wifi doest work
Floyo 1.0.0 + Alfs Kernel = Everything is okay. Wifi can be turned on. But i have not tried it (no wifi in my house)

is this normal? I can't use flashtools with this
problem solved : reinstall drivers from flashtools 0.6.6.0

FroyoBread 23b work fine with alfs kernel, but phone is heating 39C and battery drain very fast

Update:
Added: "x8lrakkarlsAlfsKernelAllin1Fix4Froyo.zip" as users seemed to be forgetting to flash the vold+chargemon fix after the WiFi fix.
Edit:
Japos
I think you have figured this out already but you also need to flash chargemon+vold update from alfasamsung's thread.
aries77
Glad you could work it out, sometimes it feels better if you can figure it out by yourself.

Which version of Alfs Kernel? Some people are reporting battery drain on v06...

alfs kernel v6

"x8lrakkarlsBack2StockKernel4Froyo.zip"
To return to stock kernel but with ClockWorkMod & XRecovery enabled. Ready to flash another rom.
so before going back to stock i have to flash this?

Yes it would be a good idea!
It is much more dependable than:
"x8lrakkarlsBack2StockKernelWifiFix4FroyoV2.zip" method.
as sometimes (I need more testers) when flashing stock kernel first, CWM/XRec cannot be accessed & all apps force close after rom boots. The only way to fix if this happens is to start from stock rom again or reflash alfs & install a custom rom that is compatible with alfs.
Sorry if this is confusing, the bug is confusing too as I can't work out why sometimes flashing the stock kernel first works fine and other times it doesn't.
(That and I am too busy enjoying FP2.3 with Alfs & making more fixes for other kernels )
In short: You definitely will be able to access CWM/XRec if flashing "x8lrakkarlsBack2StockKernel4Froyo.zip" before flashing stock kernel. It also includes the wifi fix for stock kernel.

thanks for fast respond

install "x8lrakkarlsBack2StockKernelWifiFix4FroyoV2.zip" > flash stock kernel > working cwm/xrec..
and cwm/xrec cannot be accessed if "x8lrakkarlsBack2StockKernelWifiFix4FroyoV2.zip" is installed after flashing stock kernel..
btw.. can u please rename the fix .zip file with the shorten file name..

Thank you for testing!
I have now made many thread updates as well as Allin1 fix for LinuxDX.
See change-log for more info & please test LinuxDX with Allin1fix!

Has anyone tried it on froyobread?

[FreeXperiaRecovery/Custom Kernels][updated 01/06/11]!k011/k012 (has uv/oc/uc)!

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
gb = Gingerbread
froyo = froyo
only wrote bin or xbin instead of system/bin or system/xbin
Link for first zip (only FreeXperiaRecovery):
FXR_v051.zip
Link for second zip (FreeXperiaRecovery and custom Kernel as default booted):

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..

Is it not possible for all dev's to use a standard recovery/chargemon?
I think that would save alot of headache and would probably be easier.
Any thoughts?

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

@OP
please mention that this WILL BREAK DATA2SD and any enhancements/addon features provide by ur current ROM
EDIT:
@OP it would be better if u can create an update.zip to take backup of current recovery and then replace it with FreeXperia recovery... also u can create another "BackToStock" update.zip to remove FreeXperia recovery and then restore original recovery...

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

Gung-Ho me just flashed it with my bb67 and TripNMiui 1.5.6...
No signal...
Flashed bb49 patch, still no signal...
Flashed bb52...
Flashed kernel in xrec...
SIGNAL!!
FPS in quadrant hit 48

I just want my WIFI to work again
Anyone know what i can do to get this back?
Was working on K11 and K12, but this kernel just gives "error"
FIXED:
if you come from K11 or K12 etc, then flash this, you need to install with xrec the following to enable WI-FI to work:http://www.mediafire.com/?fbua9ggjwr9ygbn

But one question, the TripNMiui 1.5.6 that i have with baseband 61 isn't a rom that you MUST have a baseband .61 or higher?
everything work perfect!
nice job

Running this kernel on Wolf's CM6, v006.
VERY FAST!!!!
Everything working (inc. deep sleep), battery life good (took few hours to settle down).
Excellent work
If i'm on TripNMiui 1.5.6, i can flash the .52 baseband and after it the kernel via xRecovery withtout wiping anything?

[Q] volume and brightness adjustmnet problem in wolfs gingerbread.

Wolfbreak said:
Testversion V6 is here​
To give you some hints on what Version you choose.
Fastest ROM:
1. Gaming
2. UlBlDoom
3. FreeKernel
4. Stock
Best Battery
1. Stock
2. UlBlDoom
3. FreeKernel
4. Gaming
My personal recommendation is UlBlDoom, it has great Speed+Battery and the best Tweaks becouse it offers me alot more possibilities of tweaking then the other ROMs. Its on par with the Gaming Version the only thing that is different is that the Gaming Version has extreme Virtual Memory and Taskkiller Values while the UlBlDoom has more friendly ones for a everyday ROM whit features like Timescape,FBiX2...
locked Bootloader ROMS
Stock
FreeKernel Version
unlocked Bootloader ROMS
Unlocked Bootloader Doomlord (You need Doomlords Kernel for unlocked Bootloader)
unlocked Bootloader Gaming ROM (You need Doomlords Kernel for unlocked Bootloader)
Important for Wifi
I already implemented the right Wifi Module for the full overclock V6 Doomkernel Version, if you want medium overclock or failsafe kernel you need to apply the wifi module manually, you find the link for Kernel and Wifi Modules in Doomlords Kernel Thread.
Force Close Fix for Brightness+Volume for People without xLoud&Bravia installed.
Here is the fix for FC, for all that have xLoud&Bravia installed dont install this, framework for xLoud&Bravia is different again and works fine, this is only for all without xLoud&Bravia installed.
AppMan Download not a .zip File?
Then rename it to a zip file write .zip bedind the file with a Explorer and install in Xrec, solved. Thats due to my server blocking zip files i renamed them from zip to nothing then and it works.
To all people, just for your information. If you rather download from PC then AppMan you can always find all my zip Files and some apks here

[KERNEL][Mini/MiniPro/Active/LwW] Rage Kernel v2.7 / v2.8 / v2.9 for FXP CM7.2.0 ROM

This is Rage Kernel v2.9 for Xperia Mini / Mini Pro / Active / Live recompiled to run on FXP CM7.2.0 ROM from Freexperia Project here.
The boot image consists of kernel compiled from DuMOHsmol's Rage Kernel v2.9 source, FXP wi-fi driver and FXP ramdisk. It is tested running in FXP122 CM7.
The kernel is compiled using FXP default config, modified to enabled added features in Rage Kernel, so overall the features is similar to Rage Kernel v2.9 (see post #2 below)
Credits:
Many thanks to DuMOHsmol for Rage kernel source and DoomLord for providing the base/stock source.
Thanks for Freexperia Team for making such a great rom.
Thanks for wucinac, HUdasp, gandhar, Snoopo, & jakobxxl for initial testing and feedbacks.
This kernel will not be updated everyweek like FXP rom releases. It would only be updated if there's update in Rage Kernel or there's update in FXP ramdisk/ROM that requires changes in this kernel too.
I mainly compiled this kernel because it gives good battery life, so I haven't tested all features that Rage Kernel offer. Therefore I can't really confirm that those added features will work fine in CM7. What does work is the basic functionalities (like calls, wifi, bluetooth, camera, etc) and added cpu governors, overclocking options, and added i/o schedulers. What I haven't test: zram and swap.
And because I personally considered this kernel as some kind of a workaround for the battery drain issue in fxp kernel (see post #3 below), then if FXP team has fixed it, this kernel might be no longer needed.
As of version 2.6, changes from original Rage Kernel source are below:
4 files in Rage source replaced with files from FXP source :
- arch/arm/mach-msm/board-semc_mogami.c
- arch/arm/mach-msm/sdio_ctl.c
- drivers/mfd/marimba-codec.c
- drivers/misc/lm356x.c
Files sdio_ctl.c and marimba-codec.c is replaced to avoid compiling errors when using fxp defconfig. The file board-semc_mogami.c is replaced to fix touchscreen problem when using original file. File lm36x.c is replaced to fix force close problem in Torch app.
Another change is patch from here applied to fix the touchscreen issue.
Changes in version 2.7 are included as a patch files in the download post below.
Changes in version 2.8 & 2.9 are related only to cpufreq driver & cpu governors, so the patch from 2.7 can still be used, but the cpufreq part of the diff must be removed.
Version 2.7 / 2.8 / 2.9:
Please see all download links for Mini/Mini Pro/Active/LiveWithWalkman in this #75 post.
Flashing disclaimer applies! Use this kernel at your own risk.
How to use:
1. For the first time CM7 users: Flash the Freexperia CM7 kernel & Rom first, and make sure everything works fine, and then continue to step 2. For those that already have CM7 running, just begin at step 2.
2. Flash this kernel using fastboot.
3. Reboot to CWM and wipe cache
4. Reboot again.
Notes :
- This kernel is not supported in anyway by FXP team or original Rage maintainer DuMOHsmol. Anyone having problem, please don't ask them for support. Just ask in this thread & I'll try to figure it out.
- Battery life is not solely affected by the kernel. It can also be affected by apps/mods/tweaks used or applied in the rom. If battery drain is high, then please check what cause the wakelocks using apps like BetterBatteryStats here
- There are instances that using Google Maps or Latitude (or maybe other gps-related apps) would cause GpsLocationProvider keeping the phone awake, like the case in this post #82 and post #34. This situation can be diagnosed using that BetterBatteryStats app mentioned above. The workaround is to disable gps and reboot the phone.
- Of course, other than advantages, there are also disadvantages using this kernel in FXP cm7. Advantages including: a bit better battery life, more cpu governors, more i/o schedulers, etc. Disadvantages: I perceive sdcard i/o is somewhat slower, sometimes there's lag in video recorder, there might be broken features in future FXP releases, not supported by FXP team, and there might be other problems that haven't been encountered yet. If anyone experiencing more disadvantages than advantages using this kernel, then please consider using FXP kernel instead.
Features (quoted directly from DuMOHsmol's Rage Kernel original post here ) :
DuMOHsmol said:
This is my kernel, it's based on stock SE 4.0.2.A.0.74 kernel sources, with some things from DoomKernel by DooMLoRD (so go and say thanks to him, and other developers too).
It has:
- Overclock up to 2Ghz
- CWM Recovery 5.0.2.7
- Prerooting
- CPU Governors:
brazilianwax
smoothass
smartassV2
SavagedZen
interactiveX
lagfree
minmax
Scary
smartass
interactive
conservative
userspace
powersave
ondemand
perfomance
v2 added:
- Xperia Mini support
- Tun/tap interface enabled (VPN, ipv6)
- Swap support enabled
- Two way call recording support added
- I/O schedulers:
noop
anticipatory
deadline
cfq
bfq
vr
sio
v2.1 changed:
- disabled NFS and CIFS (battery drain fix from DoomKernel), let's see if it can really increase battery life.
v2.2 changed:
- moved to from 4.0.2.A.0.58 to 62 source, though I didn't see any changes
- added 0% battery workaround patch by Bazoocaze. I don't even know what it does but it seems to be something useful since everyone includes this in their kernels
- New cpufreq driver from DoomKernel. You can experience some problems with overclocking now (my phone becomes unstable at 1.8GHz now, instead of 2.0), but phone eats much less battery in sleep. I've also changed 1018Hz to 1024Hz and 249Hz to 245Hz because those new numbers looked wierd
v2.3 changed:
- moved back to 4.0.2.A.0.58 source (just to make sure that everything will work).
- updated version number in ramdisks to 62.
- removed 0% battery workaround patch (it's useless on our devices).
- reverted old cpufreq driver with small fix. It should be stable now and phone seems to eat less battery than in 2.1. (thanks himasura for lots of testing)
- salvaged some ram.
- enabled NTFS support.
- enabled usb-storage driver, so you don't need to manually load usb-storage.ko now.
- Version number now shows version of kernel (#23=2.3).
v2.4 changed:
- Now phone lights up blue led to show when you can enter recovery (thx to DooMLoRD).
- Minor changes in ramdisks.
- Enabled hid drivers for microsoft and a4tech.
v2.5 changed:
- Re-added CIFS
- Enabled ext4 support
- Added zram and cleancache drivers
- Added lulzactive governor
- Root fs now mounts as rw after boot.
v2.6 changed:
- removed lulzactive governor as it wasn't working properly (thx to kamarush and others for pointing that)
v2.7 changed:
- moved to sony 4.0.2.A.0.74 kernel sources (updated touchscreen driver)
- Increased GPU dedicated memory to 4MB
- Updated su binary in autoroot.
v2.8 changed:
- added new cpufreq driver at last (with CPU frequency fixup by DooMLoRD), battery drain is lower now. I left version 2.7 too for those who want higher overclock or have some problems with 2.8.
Everything else is similar to stock kernel for now.

A bit background:
I use FXP CM7 rom for my mini pro since release 049 and like it very much. One thing that made me keep switching back to stock rom was the high battery drain, because in my daily activities electric plug is not always readily available, so battery life is critical for me.
In fxp 052 I got a bit desperate and trying to use custom kernel based on stock from bbooff here, with fxp rom. The battery life is excellent, just like stock rom, but I encountered 2 problems: touchscreen sometimes become unresponsive and wifi was not working (even if I replaced wifi modules with stock).
Finally, I decide to learn how to compile android kernel, and I found that it is quite similar with compiling linux kernel, which I've frequently done to my computer and laptop.
So, I compiled kernels from 3 sources and compare the battery life in my mini pro. They are from DoomLord's official SE source, DuMOHsmol's Rage kernel source, and krizky82's X Kernel source. I also recompiled kernel from FXP kernel source using stock semc_mango_defconfig, to see if battery life is better. The conclusion is that best battery life is achieved using stock and Rage Kernel, and I've been using FXP with rage kernel since release 102 and haven't considered going back to stock rom again.
I posted in Rage Kernel thread to thank DuMOHsmol, and since then there's 3 xda members that ask me to share this kernel, so I make this thread.
I hope this could help those who want to use FXP CM7 and need a battery life that's close to what stock rom offer.
Note:
As of release 114/115, FXP kernel also has better power management and quite a good battery life. The power consumption difference between this rage kernel and fxp kernel is not as much as it used to be before. In case of broken features or any problem caused by using this kernel in FXP cm7 rom, then please consider using FXP kernel instead.

Okay, I'll check it. I might zip the wrong file. What is your device? I assume it is mini / st15? Because kernel for mini pro works fine in my mango. I'll check and if needed I will re-compile it.
Edit:
I think the problem was I incidentally used wrong ramdisk for mini kernel.
I have made a new kernel for mini, but it needs testing first. So, if anyone's willing to test it, please send me a PM. Thank you...
Edit:
Fixed. Link for mini updated.
Thank you!!
Im using cyanogen fxp 111
Only need flash the kernel?
Or need make a full wipe?

Well, overclocking is the feature that I very rarely use. Because I use this kernel for better battery life, and overclocking might just negated that

[KERNEL] [ICS] [Stock WIFI restore] Stock ICS w init.d support+root+cwm! [25-May]

Latest Kernel mod -> Go Here
Based on 4.1.B.0.431 ICS 4.0.4 Kernel, features new CPU governors and autoroot.
Q. Who would benefit from this?
Those who want to stick to stock kernel for Official ICS (4.1.A.0.562), but would still want to get the benefits of init.d scripts, and native root access!
I personally feel ICS stock kernel is more battery friendly than Night-elf RC2 kernel.
Q. Features?
- init.d support (credits DooMLoRD for showing the way)
- ro.secure=0 (that is now adb has native root access!)
- clockworkmod 5.5 (credits Night-elf)
- no other changes to stock kernel
- zImage changes not possible as source is not available from SONY
Download
boot_ICS_plus_v5.img
Changes: Previous features +
1. Switched to Doomlord's arc ics recovery (better features)
2. Important bug-fixes. (Please update!)
boot_ICS_plus_v4.img
Changes: Previous features +
1. Perfect ADB connection in recovery.
2. Short vibrate on entering recovery added
boot_stock_ICS_initd_root_cwm_v3.img
Changes: Now restores stock WIFI modules (so you can directly flash from Night-elf kernel without losing WIFI!)
Those who are using v2 without problems do not need to update!
boot_stock_ICS_initd_root_cwm_v2.img
Changes: CWM 5.5, with ADB & USB mount (credits Night-elf)
Q. How to install?
Just as you install a custom kernel.
If no wifi, just delete "modules_version" and "modules_reversion" in "/system/lib/modules" and reboot
Steps:
1. Follow this guide to install official ICS + root
(Do not install CWM)
2. If you already have DooMLoRD/nAa CWM, go to /system/bin with any root explorer and delete recovery.tar and chargemon
3. Power down device and get into FASTBOOT MODE -> switch off device hold menu key & plugin usb. (LED notification turns BLUE)
4. check fastboot with "fastboot devices"
5. flash boot image
fastboot flash boot boot.img
6. Reboot with "fastboot reboot"
7. Enjoy!
Very good work
when going to overclock, swap?
You can make a support for swap too?
Very thankful for this kernel
Thanks a lot!!

The latest ICS kernel source has not been released by Sony.. only then we can use the latest.
But till then, we can use Night-Elf kernel for OC..
I may make a stock wifi restore patch for Night-elf kernel, for those who want to try stock kernel after being on Night-elf
