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?

hi ,greenAlgae ,i am sorry to tell that i encountered the same problems with using your fixed kernel ,it may not the ramdisk,but the drivers,i think .
by the way ,some of us using the rage kernel have encountered the same problem,they aslo "complained" the boot-loop ,so i think the problem is kernel itself not the the ramdisk ,i am very happy if you will fix it ,thank you much .respected your work

Is there any error when you flash it using fastboot? Did you get to boot logo only or you get to cyanogen boot animation when the phone bootloop?

Thank you wucinac. It seems there's some kind of inconsistencies here. Hopefully it can be worked out, else i would have to pull out the kernel for mini altogether.

For st15i i have to use fastboot query with flag:
Code:
fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img
fastboot -i 0xfce reboot
P.S. Rage flash'ed without any problems. Kudos to developer, many thanks for merging battery save and direct call record!
oh great! Let's test!

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
But I'm glad that it works for you

Even though its a good kernel, still doesn't beats franco.kernel smoothness, in fact i've never been able to achieve franco level smoothness with any other kernel except franco itself...
With franco i get "iphone" smoothness level on contacts and settings menues, and many apps, statusbar etc..

I was suggested to use ta-gb 1.1 + hotfix kernel (as bug-free and for good battery life) but I cannot find this specific version of the kernel. Could someone give me a link or upload it please so that I could give it a try?
Between the kernel I was suggested to use and the latest, which one do you think is better in terms of battery life and less bugs? And what is the difference between the two latest releases (10/4/2012 and 18/4/2012 <-What is this kernel)?
edit: This was the result after flashing the second one:

I think, t.a gb 1.1+hotfix is based on franco's touch drivers. I have used almost all kernels so far and I think at present Roq XIII with t.a touch drivers are the best in terms of smoothness, stability and battery. Use the conservative at 480/600. Even the t.a 1.1+hotfix is superbly smooth and has superb battery. But it has a bug that when after using gps the battery drains even if the gps is turned off. Franco kernel has multiple issues 1) Frequent reboots during calls 2) Cameranot working after first use...and many other issues.
Roq xIII with t.a touchfix is as smooth as the iphone. Only thing is you have to tweak some settings on the cynogen power menu, spareparts+ and blade buddy I also moved the default launcher (Go Launcher) to my /system/apps to have the smoothness I get now. Smoothnesss cannot come just by installing the kernel. You have to tweak settings...
pradipsoman could you please verify if the kernel that you uploaded here is the 1.1 you are suggesting? The filename is v1.2 but I have to ask because it could just be a typo. What is your experience on the current version of thunder-vn? Do you still think the older 1.1 version of thunder-vn is better than the current one and why? offtopic: One more think, is Roq xIII as good as described on stock 2.3 rom? Or is it one of those kernels made for custom roms?
@ thachtunganh So what happened to my device (stock 2.3)? Are these drivers meant to be used on ics based roms?

I was away from XDA from 1 month....
So, I want to know can thunderVN 1.02 be used on latest hehappy's cm9 build??
Will everything be functional???
Thank YOu!
It's too soon for your second question to be answered. It's been a few hours since the kernel was released. If you give it a try there will be one more tester to give feedback.

I think you can now use Thundervn Latest Release from TA Have tested it and now it does not have the wifi bug (only bug that t.a 1.1+hotfix had). It is smooth as butter and has excellent battery. Lets experiment further...
I'm testing it too. I'm satisfied by the smoothness too but how did you make a conclusion that soon about the battery life and the lack of gps bug?

Hi all,
I am using Vasishta's ICS ROM and I am in search of a kernel that includes both Wifi and SmartassV2. Reason for wanting SmartassV2 is because of it's smoothness and batterylife. But I can't find a kernel that's capable of both. These are my search&test results:
FXP 132/FXP133Only interactive of on demand govenors
Wifi is fine.kCernel v3 (I tried this kernel with and without Wifi modules)Lots of governors!
No wifi.Fera 1.8 (good changelog on his tread!)SmartassV2 is there!
No wifi.AOKP (Championswimmer released this one specifically to test a wifi fixIt has 4 governors, including SmartassV2.
No wifi.
A bit strange, because on Champ's AOKP i got wifi working with 'm6'-ROM.
Reading up on this thread i think the missing Wifi has something to to with 'just' a wrong wifi module (ar600 vs. ???).
Maybe I am overlooking something.
So my question is: Does anyone know a of a kernel that i can use?
If I need to do some tweaking to make a kernel work (eg. use other Wifi modules), than please guide me in the right direction. I am not expierenced in compling, but changing files, permissions, etc. is no problem. My guess is that Fera's kernel or Champs kernel can be modifed to accomplish what i want.

Hi there friend, first of all why do you want the smartassv2 governor?, xperia s ics is based on cm9 and you have to use the fxp132 kernel, kernel is made by fxp team and it suits the rom well, you dont need smartassv2 governor in order to have a great rom. trust me!, these developers (FXP) does exactly know what they are doing.. press thanks button if i helped you. cheers!! :good:
take note, there is kernel kitchen made by championswimmer if you want to modify some kernels and make that governor added in your custom ics kernel.. have a good day friend!

take note, there is kernel kitchen made by championswimmer if you want to modify some kernels and make that governor added in your custom ics kernel.. have a good day friend!

Thank you Kaito_Kuroba and my apologies for my late reaction.
I found answers and i notice there is still al lot of developemen going on.
I've no doubt that there are good kernels. nonetheless, You said it wisely that FXP know what they are doing. I haven't got those skills, so why would i question their choices and want something else.
Thanks for this 'reminder'.
Too bad i can't make time to create this hobby. I've got the right education to do development, programmaing and so on.
My familylife and work doesn't give me enough time to be working in this hobby.
Best regards,

here is a good kernel:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867817
for wifi. you should do a fullwipe....
These are without question the absolute best CM9 kernels available:
For basically stock speeds - http://www.mediafire.com/?7waaqnrui676onj
For overclock to 1.228 GHz - http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?yi0enn6sjxww3pd
Both have Smartass v2 and WiFi working perfectly. And everything; connections,WiFi, deep sleep just plain functions well.The first is faster per clock cycle but still can't match the performance gain of the extra 200 MHz available in the second.
Thank you all guys!
I am aware of Amin his kernels. I started the thread about two months ago. At that time there wasn't a kernel that was capable of both wishes.
Since then a lot has happened and been developed.
My question is answered and no longer relevant.
Thank you all. Thread can be closed.

Hello! This is my first thread, ever, on any forum so please don't bash me if I forget something .
I've decide to make a kernel for the SGP 5.0 for Gingerbread because I loved Entropy512's, but I was slightly jelous of the INTL users and all their new givernors and I/O schedulers. Soooo i used Entropy512's sources and borrowed rumirand's schedulers and governors and tossed in a 1.4 GHz OC and a few cherry picks from KOala888 and voila!
Current features:
O3 optimization
battery pooling - 60sec (KOala888)
touchscreen responsivness tweaked (KOala888)
Screen UV (KOala888)
2.6.35.7 source for GingerBread.
Unsecure mode.
Swap support.
Overclock to 1.4Ghz and undervolt capabilities (use SetCPU or another software for UV).
Added lazy (default), interactive, interactiveX, smartassv2, ondemandX governors.
Added BFQ, V(R) and SIO (default) schedulers.
Init.d support.
Added statically linked busybox 1.19.3 (/sbin)*.
Modified adbd (pointing shell to /sbin/sh), so you can use adbd even if you don't have any partition working.
ext4 support (ghetto lagfix).
ClockWorkMod. Nandroid backup - restore works, mount/umount, format (formats to ext4).
CIFS support.
jhash3.
SoD patch from netarchy/coolbho3k.
TinyRCU.
netarchy's conservative tuning patch.
Custom bootanimation support (/system/media/bootanimation.zip) from Entropy512's kernel.
Per-File fsync() disable
Charginghacks from Entropy512.
I may release a 1.2 GHz version if the community finds 1.4 too unstable.
If there is anything i forgot please tell me!

I've got Entropy's kernel on my player, and I keep having random freezes. For instance, I'll be typing or scrolling and thing go completely unresponsive for a second or two. I'm not sure if it's a governor thing or what (I've turned off overclocking to see if that helped, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference).
Do I just have a bad install of Entropy's, or is this something everyone has? Would flashing this kernel likely to fix those issues? Can I flash without re-installing my ROM (Gingerbread Based)? Are there any issues I should know about before applying this kernel?

I had the same problem, i could never diagnose the source, but so far i havent had it once with the 1.4GHz OC. if you do get that problem tell me and ill look into it further .
EDIT: Problem still exists, if anyone has an idea what it is please tell me. I believe Mevordel had a theory a while back it was due to facebook being a rogue app and causing it. Feedback on this theory will be greatly appreciated!
EDIT2: Facebook does not appear to be the culprit.

Well, I've flashed it now. Here's to hoping it's smooth sailing from here on out
I ran this kernel almost all day yesterday. Visually, things in the UI don't look much faster (probably because of the lack of GB hardware acceleration, and Project Butter), but a few 3D games run noticeably better. Those random pauses that occur, especially when typing on a keyboard, have seemed to also disappear. Thanks for making Gingerbread a bit better to use for those of us that can't let it go completely just yet!
I likewise ran all day, and didn't see any issues. I'm optimistic they're gone now. I never install Facebook, to further disprove that theory.
General question lol is it possible to compile gingerbread kernels with a Linaro toolchain?

Of course But you may get compile errors when building with Linaro, in which case you will need to solve them. There are also a few other things to worry about with Linaro, else you may solve the errors and get the kernel to compile and it won't boot.
Thank you! I am a going to load this right now. Thanks for including smartassV2 in governors. The main reason I used INTL r14 over Entropy.
Edit: 8:50 pm.
Cannot load over clock module from Tegrak. When I try to load the module and change the OC to 1.152 (which I find most stable on my player) the player will reboot. 1.2 and 1.4 seem to be the only option for OC. Been running at 1.2 for now with no issues. 1.4 seemed to run too hot.

Same problem here with Tegrak, I'll try to get it sorted out in the next release.
EDIT: I got the module to load i think, but the device reboots directly after. It reboots after the Load Module button greys though so I'm fairly sure its loading
EDIT2: It loads if i set the max frequency to 1.2GHz from No Frills, but if i change it back to 1.4 after its loaded it reboots. Getting there .
it can't get "too" hot from technical side

You probably can't load the tegrak module because the vermagic is different

The tegrak module and the kernel have version names in them and the module will only load when the version inside said module matches the version of the kernel. Basically, they need to have the same name. There's some nice info on this here: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/lkmpg/2.6/html/x380.html

After using it for a few days now,it seems that scrolling still sometimes locks up. I haven't noticed any issues with typing yet, but that could be not using it at the right time.

It's not the version of the version but the localversion (normally it is 2.6.35.7-XXXXX) The X represents the local version. You can modify the module to actually make it work with the kernel or in your case modify the localversion specified in the defconfig.
Thank you so much for this Kernel!!!! I am loving the 1.4 Ghz. Smooth sailing so far. Once again thanks!
Thanks to XperiaSTE team for the overclock kernel source first. I just did the config and compile but nothing else.
This kernel will overclock your device to 1.15GHz. The overclocking will provide a better performance and a smoother user experience.
I'm using a kexec multiboot kernel on my device, so I didn't test the kernel packed as elf format. It should be good because I have done flashing the self-built kernels several times.
The overclock source doesn't seems to be the latest but everything works~ Maybe that's because the modules in initramfs? (I did nothing to initramfs)
It's nearly impossible for me to upload the kernel on something like devhost/mediafire, so sorry for that. Could someone upload it on these sites please?
V2 Changelog:
1) Use GCC 4.9 Linaro to compile.
2) Change the SLQB allocator to SLUB. I don't really think SLQB is stable.
3) use 2G/2G user/kernel split. It seems to have a better performance.
4) PID namespace
5) NOTE:NO recovery in V2! Instead of recovery, the kexec multiboot menu by @percy_g2 is added. Big thanks to percy_g2. For how to use it, see Link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-u/p-development/kexec-multi-boot-menu-t2647623
* To enter boot menu you should press the power key when vibrate

Finally, sorry for my poor English
Hope you like the kernel~

hi, first of all big thanks for the kernal!!
can u provide a changelog or something like that to show the difference between cm11 kernal and your kernal ???
is overclock the only added feature in this kernal?
thanks and i wish you support more!!!

Thanks for your support!
by doing diff -u to the two xperiap_defconfig, the configs seem to be same.
So XperiaSTE did nothing more to the overclocked kernel.
therefore the config isn't changed and the only change is in the code.
Doing diff to the whole source tree will take much time so i didn't do it
By the github commit the changes seem to be all related to overclocking.

you can read cm-11.0 and overclock branches's commits

Just a suggestion for anyone thinking about flashing it right away:
Wait a couple of days/weeks for someone to do some testing, you could fry your motherboard (happened to me on my previous 2 phones).
I'm not saying this kernel will do that, but it's just a precaution.

It's a small time period, understand me please
I was running OC kernels on my previous phones and the motherboard frying happend months after use,
I'm not saying that this is the situation with this specific kernel, these are just my previous experiences,
and it was just to warn people
I had ever used panthom kernel on stock jb, it used 1.15ghz too but still safe used for a long time..
thanks for the great work.but how to install multi rom on our phones?
If anyone has a problem downloading the kernel from baidu, I have made a mirror on dropbox:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/gxuw8o8jtllzmfi/CM11Overclock_Fandroid.elf?dl=0
Ofcourse with the permission from the developer
Can someone please explain steps for installing multiroms? Can I use cm11 along with cm10?
Would the existing cm10 need to be reinstalled?
I've given link in the thread
No reinstalling is needed
