I have started this thread based on zdzihu's suggestion...
This thread is intended for Developers ONLY...
A method of booting custom kernels (using kexec) has been developed. Thanks Bin4ry, zdzihu, jerpelea, MrHassell, blagus, and all other devs who are working hard to make this stable. (i am sorry if i missed any names)
hope the devs can use this thread to discuss on custom kernel dev....
please keep this thread clean for the devs to discuss the kernel development aspects...
for general discussions please use the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1018391
i will also keep updating this regularly with the information like relevant posts; features, limitations & links to custom kernels currently available...
*** [IMP]: before flashing custom update.zips read this: how to find the version/type of recovery on ur current ROM ***

Additional Info:
the following files are required in the /system/kernel/ folder:
splboot.ko (some devs move this file to /system/lib/modules/splboot.ko)
miniloader
boot.img (this is the actual custom kernel)
for booting the OS using custom kernel some modifications are required to the /system/bin/chargemon file
also some modified/updated modules (e.g. wifi.ko) are provided for compatibility with the custom kernel
Bootloader Bypass files:
There seems to be some issues face by some users, where in using a different version of miniloader helped them sort out the issues. So I will provide all those versions.
Flashable update.zip via recovery, contains miniloader & splboot.ko:
bootloader_bypass_files_v1.zip [slightly older miniloader] {came with older FreeXperiaKernels}
bootloader_bypass_files_v2.zip [older miniloader] (testing only) {came with FreeKernel by zdzihu}
bootloader_bypass_files_v3.zip [older miniloader] (testing only) {came with Flashtool v0.2.9.1}
bootloader_bypass_files_v4.zip [newest miniloader] {comes with newer FreeXperiaKernels (from CM7 J022 K011 onwards)} (recommended)
[IMP] for v4 miniloader: u need to be on the baseband from the baseband package provided in CM7 J022 for the v4 miniloader to work properly... even if u already have baseband 2.0.52 please reflash using the baseband package provided in CM7 J022... even if u are on a different ROM u will need to use the baseband from the above package to get custom kernel to work properly

One question for bypass-method developers: is it necessary to have stock SE's ROM for better chances of succeeding in porting splboot/miniloader to X8?
2.1update1 - base anyone can restore with SEUS, demonstrated work from this point, with the FreeX10, FreeXperia, Wolfbreak, rendeiro2005 and others without many problems. It might be a case of, which has the least issues, what are they and how do we eliminate them.
The most common baseband with development is 52. FreeXperia - CM7 GingerBread - entirely developed for 52 - there are two groups.
Original Baseband series: 48-49-50-51-52 (52 = last of first generation)
Current Baseband series: 53-54-55-56-57-58 (59 - not released)
Baseband is a multiplexer. The core C files are - vendor/qcom-proprietary-qsd8k/data/qmi/qmuxd/../src/qmi_qmux.c and is compiled for ARM with* vendor/qcom-proprietary-qsd8k/data/qmi/qmuxd/../platform/qmi_platform_qmux_io.c and the core interface to the Linux kernel - vendor/qcom-proprietary-qsd8k/data/qmi/qmuxd/../platform/linux_qmi_qmux_if_server.c requires several SO - (ELF binaries) - be present, compiled and available to the kernel and the linker - /system/bin/linker
liblog.so
libdiag.so
libc.so
libstdc++.so
libm.so
Everything working - /data/radio/qmux_connect_socket - will bind to an address path and make possible, one radio with one input signal to many data-output-lines and many input lines. Herein the core networking is established, with WiFi and Bluetooth become linked, with the famous exploits for NULL pointer dereference vulnerability which exist in Linux kernels < .30 - Which is no coincidence, why many Kernels are below this release version.

how can we flash the .img file?

A little more info please, wich kernel are you talking about? Tripnraver's, zdzihu's..?
If it's tripnraver's kernel you try to flash, you should just flash the zip-package you downloaded
i am talking about FreeXperia Kernel-002 by j.
This kernel is only available on .img file
You should place all your kernel files in /system/kernel/ and you must make some changes to chargemon (/system/bin/chargemon). I have no idea what changes you should exactly make..
hmmm...
i will re-upload the boot.img zips as update.zips flashable via recovery...
also for general discussions please use the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1018391
in the above thread i have already posted the changes which need to be made to the /system/bin/chargemon file to boot using custom kernels
system/bin/chargemon
system/bin/charger
system/lib/modules/wifi.ko
and Kernel folder needs to be copied out from ROMs to get custom Kernel.

i would not recommend copying the file /system/bin/chargemon as is (because of the different recoveries available & variations that each dev/each version of flashtool introduces) rather only search for the custom kernel booting part and add that to the chargemon file if it isnt there already...
also no need to copy the whole /system/kernel/ folder... u just need the boot.img for that specific custom kernel... (though here i assume that u already have miniloader & splboot.ko in /system/kernel/)
and yes individual rewritten modules (like wifi.ko) have to be copied too... it would be great if the devs can post update.zips which contain the hotfixes/addons (including custom kernel, modified modules, etc) so that the kernel and related files can be used on other roms too, instead of downloading the whole rom...
i would like to confirm that FreeXperia Kernel-002 by jerpelea (from CM7.0.0 J015 k002) is working well on Achotjan's V010
Has anyone tested one of the available kernels on FreeX10 Beta 4 ?
[Q] Is it also possible for x10?
Hi, I just found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889503
So i wanted to ask wether it is possible to implement it in the custom Kernels of X10.

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...

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)

Is there a big difference between these two? The link describes 22062011 as older and 23062011 as the alternative.

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.

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 ??

One small question really... the attachment says E15_01... Is it built for the E15?
have you tested it yourself??
sorry my mistake its for the x10 mini only
E10i or E15 ?
for mini
Do not be fooled by the name of the file
kernel is for x10mini
TESTED mySELF
^^^^^^^
Yep thats right , i'm using it now . cool but the frequency not too bigger than nAa , only until 806Mhz .
Tested it too, but I didn't see the difference with nAa v.11 .. but still nice work for you
attachment name corrected
good job. But what the differents with nea ?

Same question.
Differences/advantages?
there are updates to lowmemorykiller,oom . vr IO scheduler is default ( which i believe is faster) and a lot of underhood changes .You can check github and 80 % of things in fxp kernel are different.
The kernel works good but only shows 184mb of RAM
EDIT: The camera button doesn't work
oh why compare with nAa kernel?
is nAa kernel like stock acuired from SE? No? Btw when will nAa fix overdischarge problem related to all kernels from 06 to 11?
btw nice kernel... keep them going...
Someone can post benchmark with this and na kernel?

A : This is what manage your cpu cores and decide which core will be online. Fast hotplug is a brand new hotplug that I wrote. You can find more information there
Q : How to control fast hotplug ?
A : I modified Pimp my Z1 to be compatible with fast hotplug. You can use it without any problem on your Xperia SP to configure fast hotplug (Power Management menu) but it might have bugs with other functions (you can still try, I haven't had problems yet ).
You can find it there
Q : Where does the name come from ?
A : This kernel isn't named after someone but after a pear. We use this pear to make one of the best swiss "eau de vie" called Williamine.

Thank's for the quick review
1) Splash screen is the same as for the other version.
2) This is because it is based on fxp 320. I'll see tomorrow if I can change this but it works great on my phone...
Thanks for the kernel!!!
Unfortunately, I've lost phone network after rebooting. In addition, changes to parameters (using fauxclock) don't survive a reboot. Of course, biggest issue is can't call/be called...
I'm on FXP 320...
EDIT: sorry, comments above were not there yet when I was writing my comments Hope you find the solution to RIL problem!

The links of OP are updated with this working version.
Sttangely, in Faux123, I/O scheduler settings stick after reboot but governor settings do not (goes back to interactive after reboot - have been setting it to lionheart).
Am curious to see if battery performance is better or not...
Again, good job and thanks for taking the time!

I will take a look at it but I don't think I'll manage to fix it. It's probably not kernel related.
Btw, I will NOT add smartassH3 because it is exactly the same as smartassV2. Only the name and the tunable parameters are changed so you can edit it by yourself using any cpu control app. Plus, smartassH3 is still based on old smartassV2 which doesn't work on multicores. The smartassV2 version in Williams kernel was adapted to work on newer phones.

question
Hi !
Is this kernel stable and does he improve battery life on cm11 fxp ?
Good work!
It is much better than all the other CM kernels for SP.
But why the I/O still not as well as the kernel of the stock .201?
Every currently CM kernel seems to have this issue...
quick feed back
I use this kernel on CM11 and it's working better than stock kernel especially for the smooth and battery life ! :laugh::good:
Tank you a lot !!
