ALL CREDITS GO TO ZDZIHU FOR MAKING THIS NEW KERNEL WHICH WORKS ON LATEST BASEBAND
Use the following at your own risk and it's not supported by the rom dev (zdzihu / jerpelea / others)
if u are new to custom kernels please read this guide: [How-To] Testing or Using Custom Kernels on Xperia X10
If you were able to get it to work on the rom you use please mention the rom name/version number in your post so that it can help everyone... also please mention which specific boot.img you used + which wifi module worked for you (if u needed to use any additional patches)
Since there are so many roms and various versions it is difficult for ppl to test it out on each and every one of them...
Based on your feedback I will update second post with that info and link up to ur posts so others can be benefited from your experience....
Additional Info:
20072011_failsafe kernel was posted by zdzihu on July 21, 2011 and is without undervolting/over/underclocking
20072011 kernel was posted by zdzihu on July 20, 2011 and has interactive governor as default
15072011 kernel beta was posted by zdzihu on July 15, 2011 it has interactive governor added and is undervolted, overclocked (245Mhz to 1113Mhz)
14072011 kernel was posted by zdzihu on July 14, 2011 its undervolted, under+overclocked (128Mhz to 1113Mhz)
05072011 kernel was posted by zdzihu on July 05, 2011 and is marked as STABLE version (NO overclock!)
23062011 kernel was posted by zdzihu on June 23, 2011 [ its an alternative version to zKernel_22062011 for those with "random shutdown" issue ]
22062011 kernel was posted by zdzihu on June 22, 2011
if u guys getting WLODs then try setting max cpu speed to 998Mhz
also wiping cache/dalvik-cache in recovery might solve some issues

as for other stuff i have tried to explain in post #2 wht kernel and ramdisks are...
all available stuff is provided for u to try... some kernel may work perfectly with ur X10 while other might not... u are free to try whichever u want and may be report back on which worked best for u... BTW the kernel which works best for u might not necessarily work properly for others...

[OPTIONAL] additional if u are still facing wifi issues u can use:
wifi_bt_fix-fxk_froyo_v01.1.zip : patch module from [PATCH] Fix WiFi and BT for FreeXperia Kernel (froyo) to use wifi/BT
some info on why there are so may boot.img files of the same kernel:
DooMLoRD said:
...
boot.img is a file which contains main kernel (zimage) + integrated ramdisk for booting (ramdisk.gz)...
the ramdisk contains specific code for different android versions to boot correctly with some features specific for that android version... thts why if u use 2.1 ramdisk it might not work on 2.2/2.3 and vice-versa...
additionally some features like cpuscaling, wifi module setup (app2sd???) are introduced in enabled/set in ramdisk so thats why some ramdisk work for some ppl while for others it may not work...

Doom firstly thank you for your work and guides
I had issues getting the kernel in to Beta 4
I used the GB kernel which worked however this broke wifi I am unsure of how I can get the wifi to work ?

ok firstly which kernel file u flashed? cause the wifi module depends on the kernel used...
FROYO (some GB roms too) required wifi module to be called wifi.ko and located at /system/lib/modules/
CM7 (may be all GB???) required wifi module to be called ar6000.ko and located at /system/lib/modules/
both are essentially the same files, just the file name is different (thanks to jerpelea for pointing that out)

Isn't ar6000.ko only limited to Jerpelea's CM7 ? I am using rdannar's GB MIUI and had to use wifi.ko for wifi to work.

Is there a big difference between these two? The link describes 22062011 as older and 23062011 as the alternative.
And as always, another excellent guide Doom! Thank you very much for putting this together. Also big thanks to all the Devs for all their hard work. Thank you Z, Chumby & FreeXperia Team!!!

Hi guys,
I released an alternative kernel for those suffering from a random shutdown issue.
If your phone works fine so far, you most likely don't need this!
Please find the kernel in the first post.
In case of any problems, please report in this thread. I won't be able to reply until 4/07.
Cheers,

Dhoomlord,would you tell me what are the advantages of this kernel over 3.52 over froyo.Does changing baseband to latest offer anything in terms of performance ?
Also I've heard bb 67 had worst signal issues for Indian users ,is it true ??

well firstly its DooMLoRD (not dhoomlord)
secondly i was on baseband 2.0.52 for ages! (well ever since custom kernels were out ) so i dont really know advantages/signal issues of baseband 2.1.67
I started playing with the kernel and the result was surprisingly pretty good(in my opinion),so here it is Remember I'm not an expert or developer, so expect bugs and use at your own risk.
NEWS: Djnilse is making this kernel for cm7 roms.Head over to post #3 and read more.
X8_*WLAN/GDX is for GingerDX v.1-28
X8_*CM7 is new and for "standard" cm7 roms with tiwlan(wifi driver)
This kernel is based on the FreeXperia-Team's work, so a huge thank you to the best team

Intro
I've been working with alfsamsung for a while now, and together, we managed to port the CWM-Touchrecovery from Napstar to the Xperia X8 (both for cypress and synaptics)
alfsamsung still handels the developemnt, i will handle the releasing of the cm7-version, and maybe a little bit developement, I'm still learning it
What does cm7 version mean ?
so alfs kernel is generally for gingerDX and gingerDX is build from the cm hero sources, but since the x8 has own sources most roms are from build from them.
so the difference between(regarding wifi) that hero uses wlan(.ko) and x8 uses tiwlan(.ko), so wifi will not work
now with two different versions it's not a problem
anymore just take the kernel that fits your rom(gingerdx or cm7)
LibSensorPatch needs to be flashed on MiniCm and roms based on MiniCm
if your proximity sensor doesnt work you can try flashing it, it should solve it
What's new
V09c - 19.12.2012 - 20:41(GMT+1)
- read the changes in alfs changelog
and just for notice, alfsamsung is the great dev here
V09a - 13.07.2012 - 17:23(GMT+1)
- usb connection fixed, thank alfsamsung for the fast update and that he sent me the kernel so i can upload it
i don't have time to build it myself since i'm getting prepared for 3 weeks holidays
V09 - 11.07.2012 - 19:13(GMT+1)
- nothing new for the cm7 version, check alfsamsung's post for the changelog
- be sure to use the newest update.zip patch form alfsamsung's post
and dont forget the LibSensorPatch down here
V08a - 27.03.2012 - 21:13(GMT+1)
- added Eduroam support
- a small update to ext4
- fix for MiniCM7 proximity sensor with old libs of MiniCM7, check attachments
flash it with CWM and have a nice week
This time I made it with NO_FSP_CAP, the other versions was with FSP_CAP enabled, if you got errors like screen tearing, please report, or if it works just fine or is faster than before
V08-v5 - 15.03.2012 - 20:35(GMT+1)
- linked wifi driver instead of copying, should boot up a little faster
- cm9 wifi fix
V08 FIX3 - 07.03.2012 - 07:36(GMT)
- included charger in the ramdisk, so offline charging working now
V08 FIX2 - 03.03.2012 - 15:13(GMT)
- now touchrecovery should work fine for synaptics and cypress (alfsamsung reedited the bootrec)
V08 - 03.03.2012
-CWM-Touchrecovery 5.2.8 for both cypress and synaptics
-new cool touchrecovery buttons (great work from alfsamsung)
-new kernel logo and recovery background (made by myself )
-added options partition sd card and fix permissions
-lof of small changes in the kernel

but maybe cypress driver can be set with the same parameters of that fix, at least i looked ax8mt module source code and they had basically the same structure.
pd: at least for me it's a big problem and it's why i am still on froyo. Touchscreen phone's shouldn't have bugs on touchscreen hahaha

So far you need to flash the kernel via Fastboot by executing this command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img (if you are using test 1)
fastboot flash boot boot_Test2.img (if yo uare using test 2)

No my friend, root doesn't enable you to flash a custom kernel.
You must unlock your bootloader.
Rooting is a different process.
This kernel roots the phone (if using test 2) so don't worry about root

No problem my friend, I suppose I will for someone to confirm it, in the end it's still in it's test phase
Yet I'm still waiting for performance & battery feedback
Re: [Kernel][Sony Xperia U][March - 21] Sliding_XU [Stock]
Battery life is so far good.... A bit better than stock... Not extremely better ( miracles dun happen overnight )
Nt experiencing lags... Games running smooth (temple run 2 and shadowgun tested, I have just these 2 :/... Nenamark 2 is 29fps ( max for stock I guess)
Antutu 7200(+-100)
M nt a fan of benchmarks bt performance is smooth overall
Since this kernel is compiled from source... It has almost equaled the stock kernel wid additional features
In the very first release
Great job ......
Re: [Kernel][Sony Xperia U][March - 21] Sliding_XU [Stock]
I had seen the kernel for Xperia P and marveled at the number of satisfied users, and was hoping you'd make one for us... And voila!! Thanks a lot, bro.
I'm current on CM, and will wait for the CM version.

To be honest I can't confirm anything because I don't have the device, my expectations are based on what I've seen on my Xperia P before it got bricked and also building my expectations on what users will report.
So you will have to try it out your self and if it doesn't work you can simply flash back a different kernel to make your device boot again

How to flash?
fastboot or in CWM
Edit:
got it , this is CWM file
Great, another kernel for our phone, will test soon.
But can i have two requests:
- kernel without OC
- interactiveX governor.
Thanx in advance.
Not Working:
- Overclock (200/400/800/1000 as standard kernel)
- Only 3 governors (powersave/ondemand/performance, as standard kernel)

What's the problem for kernel supporting OC ?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but OC supported means that if you wanna use it you do, if you don't you don't use it that's it.. so if you don't want it you just set max CPU freq. to the default one which is 1000 MHz

The problem is that most of the kernels have the frequency scaling bug which means that max freq will always be set at at the max (the one oc provides) no matter what you choose....

Can you include TWRP in this kernel? I believe it can multi boot 2 recoveries coz I saw it on the acro s dev section. And please add 1.3 GHz overclock. That would be nice

Download this: http://d-h.st/QJO and copy "cw1200_core.ko" and "cw1200-wlan.ko" from "/system/lib/modules/3.0.8+/kernel/net/compat-wireless/drivers/staging/cw1200" in the zip file to your system and replace any existing files then set permissions to rw-r-r--. Reboot. I hope it will fix your problem. Credits goes to munjeni.

Can you add custom gpu clocks? That would be awesome! I think we can use some of Samsung custom kernel sources with Mali gpu control support.

FAQ:
GPU overclock reduces performance on my phone. Why? OR I'm getting low scores on benchmark? OR I get low fps? (Don't be dumb to ask this question again and again).
A: I really don't know the reason. But if it doesn't work for you, download this and flash it using CWM/TWRP without wipe.
What is a kernel? Why should I install it?
A: Click here to know the answer.
How to Change RAMDISK ?
A: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52449925&postcount=525
Will this work on all MT6589 Phones?
A: NO!
Is this kernel compatible with all ROMs?
A: Yes. But for ROMs not based on stock, (like MiUi and ColoOS) you have to replace ramdisk.
Will this work on other clones like MyPhone A919i, Wiko Cink 5, Fly IQ451 ?
A: YES. It will work
Is this kernel recommended for daily use?
A: Yes!
My phone lags a lot on V2.0. Why?
A:Because you are on 1.5GHz by default. Download Set CPU from playstore and set max frequency to 1.2GHz.
What are the best governor+io combinations?
A: Hotplug+cfq, Smartassv2+cfd, Sakuractive+cfq. You can try others and report!
How to use doubletap2wake and sweep2wake?
A: Download trickster mod app from playstore, Open "specific" tab in that app and enable s2w, d2w. Also tick on kernel settings to make your settings stay after a reboot. Also Refer this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51893190&postcount=420
SCREENSHOTS: (credits to @princechandela and @Dhogai vannan )
Hi,
Thanks for your work, please can you tell me the rom than you're using.
I've test it on an home made rom mix from t5 and a919i but doesn't work.
I'm using cink five.
1st edit:
Just test it on last mmx a116 rom provide by cmahendra and it's ok.
Need to see difference between my rom.
2nd edit:
So I test a little more, about camera, front camera is ok.
When playing recorded videos screen get crazy (see attachments)
Videos are ok on youtube.
Compass is working.
Thanks
Good progress here! Good work
Regards.
Finally..Done a good work mate..
Sent from my Google Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
finally some original development, wont be able to try this week i am on holidays, but surely next week.
You are awesome.
EDIT:
I have added 2 bugs on the main thread to the bug list, its the best place to report and track bugs.
Request everyone to add bugs to that list and provide reviews aslwell.

Do a nandroid backup of your rom before flashing.
About the zip, did the mt6628_fm_xx_xx.bin doesn't need to be into directory KashKernel_Alpha1.zip\system\etc\firmware\mt6628\ ?

It belongs to the firmware directory. I've added etc folder to fix Wifi and bluetooth.
I'm on stock 4.2 (P10) and clearly camera doesn't work for me.
Btw, it would be great if you people can fix camera by extracting necessary files from 4.1 because the camera works perfectly on 4.1. So, it means that it is not the problem with kernel.

@varun.chitre15 can easily fix such things. Kashif ask him, he can even build this kernel within no time.
And @ all please this is development thread keep thread clean. Only for devs not for users. (testers required) . Wait for stable build.
Does the compass work?

Good going bro ..can u upload full buildable source of kask kernel ..im interested in building from source
Version 2 also same Resolution of front & rear camera show 5MP. Also Antutu score reduced from 13410 to 11760. Good luck buddy.

Are you able to see which parts decreased in Antutu? Was it the CPU score? I know that if you use some of the other governors instead of hotplug, some of the cpu cores get turned off and you'll only have 1 or 2 active.

If you're talking about the alpha 2 then yes it will be laggy unless you change the governor.
And sorry bro, I have 30KB/s connection here so it is impossible to upload the full source, but I'll upload required changes.

Antutu score has gone down to around 10k, I think it is because of the unstable graphics. Thanks for informing me about the 5MP Camera, I will look into that in my next build.

If not then make it stock kernel governer as default in next build then it will not lag
