---[ UPDATES ]---



hello ppl!

this kernel is for stock SE 4.0.2.A.0.42 FW...
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND USING 4.0.2.A.0.42 FW

for older kernel versions for older FW refer to following:
Older Releases [FW: 4.0.A.2.368]Older Releases [FW: 3.0.1.A.0.145/146/148]

[ features ]
[v07 onwards] minor changes in my modified CWM recovery (modCWM-v3)[v07 onwards] major cleaning of kernel sources (cleaned defconfigs using FXP defconfigs as reference)[v07 onwards] TESTING: reverted some changes in kernel sources to older FW kernel sources to test if the issue of increased battery drain is resolved[v07 onwards] compiled using newest gcc-4.6.2-(2011.10) linaro toolchain with O4 optimizations[v07 onwards] changed kernel version string to "-DooMKernel" (will require specific modules for wifi)[v06-modCWM-v2 onwards] LOTS of changes in my modified CWM recovery[v06 onwards] shifted to 4.0.2.A.0.42 kernel sources[v06 onwards] now using my own modified version of CWM recovery with "Fix Permissions" and "Partition SDcard" support and some cleanup in menu (for ease of use)[v05 onwards] shifted to 4.0.2.A.0.9 kernel sources[v05 onwards] removed undervolting, now using stock kernel voltages (will improve stability on all devices)[v05 onwards] modified recovery to support /sd-ext backup/restore (remember /sd-ext has to be the 2nd partition on ur sdcard [mmcblk0p2] for this to work)[v05 onwards] corrected issues "high lcd brightness when in recovery"[v04 onwards] new DooMKernel Logo - thanks to pvyParts (and thanks to Flava0ne for fixing it for Xperia 2011 line)[v04 onwards] cool button-backlight notification to tell u when to spam keys for entering recovery [only spam the button when u see the backlight active][v04 onwards] updated recovery to CWM v5.0.2.6 FreeXperia Team[v04 onwards] added lower voltages (more undervolt) new voltage table[v04 onwards] added new Max frequency:  2.0Ghz [/q]
[/size][/font]

• [v04 onwards] updated integrated SuperUser app to v3.0.5[v03 onwards] compiled using toolchain gcc-4.4.3 (might improve kernel performance)[v03 onwards] added new CPU governors:InteractiveXSavaged-ZenSmartAssV2[v02-FIX onwards] fixed sysinit support[v02-FIX onwards] enabled /system/etc/install-recovery.sh execution[v02 onwards] added new bootup CPU thresholding, device will no longer jump to max freq for initial few seconds (might help some device who have booting issues)[v02 onwards] improved init.d support, now scripts in /system/etc/init.d will automatically be given correct permissions and be executed (this will not correct/fix the errors which might be inherently present in the script)[v02 onwards] corrected VDD control to show only those frequencies which are enabled in CPU-freq table[v02 onwards] autorooting (prerooted)su binary & superuser.apk will automatically be installed by kernel  (thanks to Bin4ry for posting the file RootXperia.zip; i have used the superuser files from his zip)

• busybox already installed in /sbin/

• [v02 onwards] added recovery CWM v4.0.1.4 FreeXperia Team (keep tapping/pressing BACK button when u see new bootlogo)[v01 onwards] added I/O Schedulers:V(R)BFQ[v01 onwards] added CPU Governors:SmartassScaryMinMaxInteractive[v01 onwards] enabled NLS_UTF8[v01 onwards] added user-level/runtime CPU voltage control [VDD control "sysfs interface"] (for more info keep checking this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=362)[v01 onwards] added new Max frequency:  1.9Ghz [/size][/font]

• [v01 onwards] added lots of intermediate frequencies (from 122Mhz to 1.9Ghz for almost every 100/120Mhz there is a select-able frequency) [the kernel will default to 245Mhz min / 1024Mhz max for each boot][v01 onwards] enabled SWAP support[v01 onwards] enabled CDROM filesystem support in kernel (now u can mount ISO files)[v01 onwards] enabled a few I/O SchedulersnoopAnticipatoryDeadline (default)CFQ[v01 onwards] enabled ARM THUMBEE extensions[v01 onwards] enabled support (in kernel) for many file systemsEXT2EXT3EXT4NTFS (Read & Write)[v01 onwards] enabled NFS (client & server) support in kernel[v01 onwards] enabled CIFS support in kernel[v01 onwards] enabled access to kernel .config (can be pulled from /proc/config.gz)[v01 onwards] enabled TUN/TAP driver support (integrated in kernel) [VPN support][v01 onwards] USB-OTG support (already enabled in SE FW)[v01 onwards] insecure kernelkernel is insecure (ro.secure=0)adb server is persistentusb debugging enabledrootfs and /system mounted as rw (thank you Blagus for the tip )

• enabled IPTABLES/NETFILTER support
  
  
  [ NOTICE ]
  since i have changed the kernel version string stock wifi modules will no longer work on my kernel...if u try to enable them on new kernel (v7 onwards) u will get "ERROR" while starting WIFI...i will be providing wifi modules for my kernel which HAVE TO BE FLASHED VIA RECOVERY for wifi/bt to work correctlystock wifi modules will also be provided which again will have to be flashed via recovery if u want to return to stock kernel OR if u revert to older v06 or lower kernels
  
  
  remember i have already told this to u guys... if i see some users reporting that wifi is giving error because u did not follow my instructions ur post WILL BE IGNORED....

[ how to get back to stock kernel OR older versions of my kernel (v06 and lower) ]

FOR OVERCLOCKINGstart SetCPU/NoFrills CPU Control app on ur Play (or any other app which supports overclocking) (u may get a popup asking for SuperUser permissions, click ok/yes/allow)now slowly increase the MAX slider to the right (one notch at a time) to increase the maximum frequency limitDO NOT JUMP TO THE LAST POSSIBLE FREQUENCYSLOWLY increase the frequency one notch at a time and do stability/testing for few hours

[ for modders/themers/others ]

hey guys here i am attaching a template update.zip which has been tested to work on the recovery provided here... u can add ur stuff to that file and edit the updater-script so that the u can flash ur files via this recovery...
basically it contains the correct combination of update-binary & mounting syntax...

this file is NOT required for normal/general users

Can we get the link for DarkForrest Kernel here as well?
I prefer for stability (based on feedback from most) a DarkForest kernel, DarkForest rom combination. Since it's all based on stock, all features (wifi, camera, touchpads, etc.) are all working yes?
The Sony Mobile Brava Engine does work on a DarkForest rom am I right?
