CAUTION
kernel has OC upto 1.9 GHz
dont run it for long time
its probably gonna fry your device and you probably gonna cry
and i wont be takin any responsibility
so use stock freq
also DSC cpu voltage aint gonna work so remove it using titanium backup
and i dont think any voltege mod is needed
v0.0.8 is here
new feature
google snappy compression and decompression
Github Sources and changes
Kernel Source and changes from DSC-Phoenix-Master

Enabled Swap support by default
default swap is 100 mb
to remove swap just delete /system/etc/init.d/00zram

whether the kernel in MIUI works
nope man
i have to patch it
will do it if time permits
How much is the maximum cpu frequency with this kernel?
actually i recommend using max 1075 mhz
with any of your fav govrnor
kernel has so many tweaks so no OC is needed actually
Ok, waiting for a MIUI version of this kernel; thank you!
Hello there!
The above is DSCv2.1 rom, I installed the [Kernel] [GB] x_Perf_Kernel v0.0.5_ASK mega update and wifi error.
Where is the download link for v 0.0.5?
in 2nd post
How about MIUI version of this kernel?
Will you release a MIUI version?
Wifi error
Im on DSC v2.1 and upon installing i also get Wifi error, it hangs on obtaining ip address.
Has anybody else encountered this?

Did you replace the dhd.ko file by renaming it from dhd.ko.txt to dhd.ko?
may be due to the changes in dsconfig

i requested n0p to update github to newest wifi changes
and he will be doing ASAP
so i would be able to pindown that issue quickly
Will this work on CM7?

Hi everyone,
My X10i said that it cannot enable wifi after I had installed custom kernel on STOCK ROM (I have tried many of stock firmwares but the same problem). The custom kernel I used is:
- FreeKernel-alpha1 by zdzihu
- FreeKernel-alpha1-in-call volume fix by zdzihu
I also used the FreeXperia Kernel beta4 by Bin4ry. The wifi works good but I cannot start a full benchmark from Quadrand. It said that "this phone does not support ..." something like that when I tried to benchmark.
Please help!
Thanks in advance.
Custom kernals aren't supported at this point so it would make sense that you had some error, especially when you are installing it on a STOCK rom. There's not much you can do until they develop something stable =)

Thanks, I create this thread because I watched the video in which X10i (STOCK firmware) installed custom kernel from zdzihu and the wifi works properly. But mine is not working.
Just download "barnacle" from the marketplace and use that. It works perfectly.

Can you post a dmesg of the error right after the "Unable to start Wi-fi" ?
Open a terminal emulator and type dmesg, save the text and attach it here, I have a similar problem :

Thanks, I will do it and post the info asap.
one possible reason could be..
wifi.ko needs to insmod in the kernel mine was stuck coz of that.
did you used flashable zip to install kernel or manually did the editing.
please post your chargemon @ /system/bin/chargemon

A 'Team Highly Medicated' Release:
Hello everyone,
As highly anticipated, here is my port of dumfuq's overclocking patches ported to 2.6.35.10.
If you test it and Android either doesn't boot or is very slow, then you are experiencing an incompatibility that cannot and will not be fixed. Please note, I do not know if this kernel is compatible with Android versions below Gingerbread (2.3) because the Interprocess Communication (IPC) agent version differs.
http://www.multiupload.com/CNKQEWXIUH
Notice (added 7/20/2011): It has been made apparent by users and myself that as your battery gets lower, the slower your phone will become despite it showing it is overclocked. This is most likely because 787MHz requires the max voltage and the phone is unable to maintain that voltage as the phone loses charge. While batteries are measured in mAH (milliamps), the voltage exerted from the battery progressively decreases with the loss of mAH. The reason it requires this voltage is because of FSB and CPU multipliers... it is otherwise impossible to obtain that clock-rate with lower voltages. I will investigate possible workarounds.
No need to disable perflock. Remember to use SetCPU to actually overclock! Interactive governor enabled by default - it's a beauty!
Version 3, UPDATE 6/22/2011 @ 8:18pm CST:
- dumfuq was very helpful and I have (hopefully) now fixed the instability issues present in version 2.
- Due to complications with how frequencies are stepped I am limiting the max frequency to 787MHz.
- Please note, this is a TEST version and I am seeking any feedback regarding stability.
Version 2, UPDATE 5/27/2011 @ 11:24pm CST:
- Fix wifi.
- Actually enable Interactive governor by default.
Like it? Click the "Thanks" button - or even better "Donate"!
Peace out.
Is this the kernel that was mentioned to be added to the Salsa Slide ROM?
Although I suppose that's more of a question for Ohgami.
Can I just use this with it anyways? Thanks nbetcher!

Ah yes what we've been waiting for. I agree though this kernel is Damn snappy without oc. But I have to try it out right. I'm curious to know though, if you said this works with ext2/3/4, will darktremor a2sd work with this and salsa port?

I got stuck on splash screen for 20 minutes. No luck. I did a clean install of salsa 2.0.1 and flashed this update. Could it be that I didn't let the Rom boot then flash the updated kernel?

Hi, great job!
Just want to ask you what do you mean by "Apps2SD included"?
Is this meaning that you have included ext2,3,4 support directly in the kernel (not as module)?
Thanks.

From the O.P.
Apps2SD included: http://www.multiupload.com/9EVC6CL8FP (your ROM needs Apps2SD support though!)
Non-Apps2SD: http://www.multiupload.com/8N1JPBM4N0
(By "Apps2SD", I mean the old-school Ext2/3/4 separate partition on your SD card. Either of these zips support the crappy Froyo (or higher) "Move to SD" function.)
I removed Perflock from the kernel entirely, so no need to disable Perflock.

No, it's been included by Kitchen via the init.rc. Kitchen batches the init.rc to add Apps2SD support.

I don't know if the Legend has the same frequency/voltage/bus speeds as Latte, so I can't promise that this would work on another device like the Legend. I'm learning that although the Legend is similar to Latte, they do have some very different parts.

They are both based on the MSM7227 SoC, so there shouldn't be any dramatical difference between them.

It should still boot (I have the default CPU speed set at 1024MHz (1GHz) on the kernel) just don't overclock further than 1.6GHz.
I don't know how DooMLord made his 1.6GHz one because he has no source code for it.

Still, try it just to see if it boots
Hi Keiran,
I did some searching on the forum and i think its because my Play cant handle 2ghz so it just hangs on boot screen. I tried your kernel and it did the same as the other 2ghz kernels. It must do some checks on the boot to see if the device can support it the different clocks.
Any chance you could make a kernel which can only clock up to 1.6ghz please.
Thanks
Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I was on DoomKernel. I flashed your Dark Forest Kernel to give it a whirl and everything works fine however now m Wifi does not work. It just says "error" next to it under settings. I flashed the stock kernel, then rebooted, then went back and reflashed the DarkForest Kernel and same thing. I do have a flashable zip for wifi modules I tried that and still the same, no wifi. Any ideas?

v2 Released. Scroll down for info!
Hello,
After lots of help from sirkay and FXP, I've built my own kernel that I thought I'd share with you.
This kernel wouldn't exist without the hard work of FXP. This is built from his source code. All real credit for this belongs with him (and DoomLord too, also an FXP Team member)
That said, this is my take and keeps the rather awesome release that is CM7.2 alive!
To be clear: This is a kernel for Cyanogen Mod 7.2 - Gingerbread! If you want a good ICS Kernel look at Sirkay's Thread.
So, what's different?
Uses a very recent GCC to compile, GCC version 4.6.3 which I optimised the build for Cortex-a8 and NEON.
Is compiled for performance not size (Optimize for size unticked)
Heap Randomisation is disabled.
Enabled SWAP - So you can use swap if you want to...
Default Scheduler changed to deadline, same as the Sony official kernel (still has bfq if you want to use it)
Default governor changed to ondemand.
CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT turned off. (This might break apps, haven't found any yet though)
Disabled CPUFreq Debugging.
Disabled FRAME_POINTERS, enabled STACK_UNWIND. Reason here: http://lists.openmoko.org/nabble.html#nabble-td6126708
There is no boot logo when this kernel boots. Each time I added one, the kernel refused to boot. I'll look at that. Just have patience, your phone is booting still...
(Here's where I make lots of stupid claims about how smooth, how buttery, how much battery life this kernel saves. Except I'm not a screaming idiot, so I'm not going to do that!)
I'm interested in any feedback you have, but I did this mostly for me.
And please remember the real person to thank, FXP. It's his source code I've used to build this. Also again thanks to Sirkay for his help and pointers.
Download it from here.

Thanks sirkay, but the problem isn't that I can't make a rle file, it's that the rle file when added to the ramdisk stops the kernel booting. It seems to a bug in the SEMC loader, I found a post about it somewhere. Does the boot.img need to be padded out to a certain size to work?
Sometimes my logo.rle would work, but then I'd make changes, recompile, and the kernel would hang on boot. Annoying, so I've removed it for the moment.

Hi rivtre,
I'd love to help, but my Ray is the only phone I have and is running CM7.2. While I could make a kernel for MIUI I'd have no (easy) way to test it. It wouldn't be fair to anyone if I started releasing untested things. So I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to help, but no. Anyway, read the next bit to see why that's probably not a bad thing!
To All:
My kernel seems to be terrible when it comes to HD video recording. Can anyone else test this? I get heaps of dropped frames using my kernel when recording HD video vs a FXP Stock kernel. I need to look more at this, but for the moment I'd recommend not using this kernel!
v2 Released!
Version 2 of muppet kernel released.
What's new?
Compiled with GCC 4.7.1
Reverted to BFQ Scheduler by default
Reverted to Interactive CPU Scaling by default
Added logo.rle so you know it's booting!
Removed Debugging Symbols (CONFIG_KALLSYMS)
Reverted the scheduler and CPU scaling as they seemed to be the cause of the video recording lag.
Enjoy!

I know this report should rather be posted in the developer forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1780326), but as I've just registered, I'm not allowed to post there, so I hope you all will excuse me.
I've been testing the latest CyanogenMod 10 version (FXP145) on my Xperia Active (ST17i), tried both the bundled and DDS kernel, but I've been encountering two bugs:
Gallery bug
Right after the ROM starts and I insert my PIN, I get a message: "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped". Everything then works as expected, no trouble with the gallery or anything else, just this (a bit annoing, but not deadly) message.
WiFi bug
I'm unable to connect to a WPA2-PSK protected network. An unsecured WiFi works well, but WPA2 gets into a loop, where it keeps trying to authenticate and aquite an IP. I tried to change my hostname, tried to change the kernel to DDS, nothing helped. It seems like the same bug that's troubling the stock ICS for Xperia Active, though how it got into the JB is a mystery. In all the custom ICS kernels I tested (with the fixed WLAN modules) it worked well, but the fix is not usable in the JB kernel.
In the DDS kernel thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956283) there seemed to be some talking about WiFi trouble since FXP144, but it puzzles me that no one else seemed to notice anyting (might be very isolated bug).
Just wanted to report my findings and see if I'm the only one having these trouble and if there's something to be done about it...
https://code.google.com/p/freexperia/issues/list
Thanks, gotta admit I know about this bug list, I was hoping to get some feedback on the matter before posting it as a bug (because here I know that I'm talking to people with similair phones, in the buglist, my phone and bug will be quite rare).
probably its just you, or everyone else haven't notice it yet. u should do clean install with cm default kernel and try to replicate the bug. if its still there then just do bug report with logcat included on the fxp's googlecode page. that should help fxp to fix the bug (if its a bug).
I have no problem with wpa2 psk I use it everyday with the kernel in the rom zip. May be u can give a try with mesa kernelv2.2 by an0nym0us Im currently using it with no wifi trouble. & if u want the gallery force close to be fixed u can go through it

Thanks for the tip for the first bug. As for the second one, I thought MESA kernel isn't compatible with CM10? I remember reading in an0nym0us's MESA thread, that CM10 isn't mature enough, so he's not using it and his kernel is not made to be used with it (maybe he'll correct me, if I'm wrong ).

No he made a wonderful job & released v2.2. Im using it with fxp 145 cm10. U will get better battery life with better performance with more CPU governor & I/O scheduler try it & if wifi doesnt turn on to system & delete wlanfixed & reboot twice & thank an0nym0us :highfive:

So, I've been experimentating some more during the weekend and: I've tested the WiFI with the following: a clean installation of FXP145 (+its original kernel), FXP146 (and its original kernel) and finally with MESA v2.2 for JB + FXP146, tried to delete wlanfixed and reboot twice. The problem is always the same, WiFi generally works, but doesn't want to connect to my WPA2+AES protected router. There is no MAC filtering or anything like that enabled on the router. Just to be sure I'll try to find the ICS kernel + ROM that used to work and test it again, so I can see there is a working config.

I know this report should rather be posted in the developer forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1780326), but as I've just registered, I'm not allowed to post there, so I hope you all will excuse me.
I've been testing the latest CyanogenMod 10 version (FXP145) on my Xperia Active (ST17i), tried both the bundled and DDS kernel, but I've been encountering two bugs:
Gallery bug
Right after the ROM starts and I insert my PIN, I get a message: "Unfortunately, Gallery has stopped". Everything then works as expected, no trouble with the gallery or anything else, just this (a bit annoing, but not deadly) message.
WiFi bug
I'm unable to connect to a WPA2-PSK protected network. An unsecured WiFi works well, but WPA2 gets into a loop, where it keeps trying to authenticate and aquite an IP. I tried to change my hostname, tried to change the kernel to DDS, nothing helped. It seems like the same bug that's troubling the stock ICS for Xperia Active, though how it got into the JB is a mystery. In all the custom ICS kernels I tested (with the fixed WLAN modules) it worked well, but the fix is not usable in the JB kernel.
In the DDS kernel thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956283) there seemed to be some talking about WiFi trouble since FXP144, but it puzzles me that no one else seemed to notice anyting (might be very isolated bug).
Just wanted to report my findings and see if I'm the only one having these trouble and if there's something to be done about it...

Alright, after hours of flashing and booting, I need to correct my first statement and appologize for misleading all of you. After testing 4 ICS kernels with various ROMS (stock+stock ROM, Rage v3.2 + HaSa MIUI v2.11.2, Mesa v2.2 + RealICSLite r4, KernelPanic v1.25 + HyperbeamCream v4.0) I can confirm, that WiFi with WPA2+AES security works on none of them (with my Xperia Active). It only works on GB (tested with stock kernel + ROM and also Rage v3 + Hasa v5) .
Looks like I'm stuck with GB, because both ICS and JB Wifi drivers fail to work properly for me :-/.

I think you would have done it but still, have you tried factory wipe from CWM AFTER flashing the kernel? I've faced this problem sometimes but doing factory wipe after flashing the kernel helped me.
Press thanks if I helped you

What I generally did during the tests was this:
1) Enter CWM and do a full wipe (data, cache, system, dalvik cache)
2) Flash Kernel
3) Flash ROM
4) Test WiFi
5) if the Wifi does not work -> fiddle with the ROM
- delete wlanfixed and reboot twice
- flash some wifi fixes, reboot, test
Though I did follow the instructions written for each kernel and ROM, so sometimes I did the wipes after the kernel flash.
