Hi everybody. First of all I'm not developer. I just compile the latest 3.0.50 Virtuous Kernel with smartassV2 and lazy governors for myself but I decide to share it. I was really surprised when I saw only vanilla governors without the new modern and fancy smartass, lagfree, interactivex etc. On my old G1 smartassV2 give really good improve.
If someone doesnt know what are the governors in kernel - please read here.
If somebody wants to test it I will appreciate a lot some feedback. If the result from test isn't so satisfying I will pimp a bit the governor for more battery friendly settings.
My final idea is to pull the kernel with more from the good governors lagree, interactiveX and maybe Intellidemand and then to make pull request. I'm open for feedback and suggestions before commiting the changes.
Install:
Download kernel_with_governors.zip for sense roms and place it on sdcard. Flash into recovery. It's all! Enjoy of your new governors.
Change the covernor:
I recommend for changing the governors using of No-frills CPU Control , AnTuTu CPU Master (both of apps allow scheduler changing) or SetCPU ( search in forum for free version or donate in the market )
Setup:
I feel best performance with smartassV2 governor and deadline scheduler!
My Sources
My GitHUB
update 01.10:
Kernel code name "Hushi" - this kernel deserve some name
Implement DMA Buf - the biggest change in this release. More about Buffer Management
A lot of patches - For more info checkout my github
update 15.08:
Switch to SLOB allocator instead of SLAB
Used latest CB toolchain
update 30.06:
Added force fast charge patch!
notes to get it working :
1 Install Fast Charge app /it is free/
2. The most important - toggle fast charge on and then plug the pc cable otherwise fast charging don't work! /don't be noob like me/
update 24.06:
Added Row Scheduler
Added FIFO Scheduler
update 08.03:
Updated cpu frequency
Added patch to allow lower wifi signals
update 13.01:
Added Lionheart governor
Added interactiveX governor
Added patch for enable swaptoken only when swap is full
Build with CB toolchain instead of linaro
update 12.01:
SmartassV2 governor is set to be default instead ondemand
Added lagfree governor
Enabled BFQ scheduler by request
Added Patch for release swapcache more aggressively
Reboot phone 5 sec after update the kernel

ps I get the kernel sources from yozgatg's git if somebody know more recent repository please to tell me.

hey thanks for the added governors, in the gen y visionx r3 thread qriozum posted a compiled kernel that was v3.0.56.1 post #1489 you could probably ask him where his git is. also if you could, it would be nice to see a kernel with 2 way call recording, as i have heard that its easy to implement in the kernel.. but thanks for this.
btw, just saw that in his sig he has 3.0.57, also check his post history.
also, if you could include the new bfq scheduler and allow the minimum clock speed to be set to 128mhz, that'd be great. thanks!

Thanks for reply. I will ask qriozum for the newer sources For the scheduler I don’t think the bfq is good chose because noop and deadline are more battery frendly than it, or if you use swap cfq work better with swap defragmentation For minimum clock speed I must research more if this is possible Thanks again.
Thanks for making this
Is this kernel flashable on aokp vision milestone 6 (ICS 4.0.4) since it has 2.6.35.14 kernel?

Thanks, have this kernel running with viperZ rom. It respons very wel, seems more stable. Will test for some days

Great, I don’t have really good experience with viperZ rom. For me was a bit slow and laggy I planning to improve few options tonight for more performance but first I will test them.
I don't know if Virtuous Kernel maybe it's only for Sense based roms and not AOSP like cyanogen / aokp..
someone already tried this on other aosp roms?

I dont think so. But if you are disturbed about it the safest way is to do backup in the recovery and if something goes wrong just restore the backup I rarely test new roms but before flash every time I make fresh backup of my current rom if I dont like the new one restoring is easy
there are big differences between sense-kernel and aosp-kernel... shouldn't work without trouble!

Fo sho big :good: for supercharging. I use it from very log time About the improvements are only kernel related - first i will remove some unnecessary options like himem support( it's needed for system with 4G and more ram ) and some formats this will decrease a bit size and boot time(aron few ms), also I will play with CONFIG_HZ value and enabling of sysvipc, cgroups and bfq scheduler too
Beastmode mod kernel
Here is the github for beastmode mod kernel :
https://github.com/thachtunganh/beastmode-1.5/
Try compiling it for vision.
Updates and so...
Updated version with lagfree governor, BFQ scheduler and patch for Patch for release swapcache more aggressively is available.
For next version i plan to add ck's Brain **** Scheduler (BFS), interactiveX governor and some ck's memory and swap management patches.
All feedbacks and suggestions are welcome!

I just flashed this kernel on my DZ with aokp,
booted and restarted like the description,
testing it right now
ok data / phone works,
wifi is not activable, not working at all
I'll remove the battery and reboot.
edit nothing to do, still not working,
the toggle in notification bar is grey out and i'm having now the text scrambled on all icons.
I'm restoring
I think it's because this kernel is for sense based roms.

I don't think so. This is kernel for ICS. If you want test with backup and feedback, but I expect issues with GB roms

UPDATE 2015\08\01 ICS & JB Patch
Since ICS and JB contain boosted (modified boostedass) and sio by default now, I made a cwm zip to patch the default values of boosted and sio's correct values (they're for cfs in CM9\10). This is not for CM7 and won't work with it.*
Link to Post
UPDATE 2015\05\16 DroidXGovernorsV2.2
Removed blank bootmenu folder
Cleaned up init script, removed unsupported lines, added supported lines
Included SD Card Cache Tweak with 2048 value, to match io tweaks
**The lines weren't supported on Bravo Froyo Kernel, added new lines from /sys/block/mmcblk0/queue/iosched**
**If the removed lines are supported on GB Kernel, let me know and I'll make a zip for each kernel.**
**Just remove the last 2 lines of the init script if you don't want\need the SD Cache Tweak**
UPDATE 2015\05\15 DroidXGovernorsV2.1
Screenshots showing battery savings and usage
Fixed dumb script error
UPDATE 2015\05\15 DroidXGovernorsV2
Removed Undervolted Cpu Clocks -- Gave problems for Defy+ useres on GB kernel
SIO IO Scheduler now properly loads -- No market app needed now.
This CWM compatible zip will install the DroidX smartassv2 and BOOSTEDassV2 cpu governors as well as the SIO Kernel Scheduler. While I've only tested this on CM9, it should work on ANY rom with init.d support and Defy 2nd-init Bootmenu....meaning all CM7\9 and Miui roms. I'm unsure if MS2Ginger and Stock Froyo have init.d support. It also undervolts the rom to [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected] Those values work fine with CM9 on my phone, meaning no fc's due from being too undervolted.
To install, simply flash the zip in cwn and you're done. Wiping Cache and Dalvik Cache isn't necessary.
To use the Governors, select the governor in the CM Performance Menu and select apply on boot, or use a CPU Governor program from the market. I recommend No Frills CPU Control --- its free, no ads, no bs permissions, and you can select the io scheduler.
To use the SIO Kernel Scheduler, install No Frills Cpu Control from the market and select SIO (or noop) from the bottom menu.
I haven't used SIO very much (5-10 mins now), but it seems to be working well. The noop scheduler works great, and is what I normally use; but I've always read good things about SIO (and wanted to use it), so I thought I'd include it as well.
I'd give thanks to the authors of the Governors and Schedulers, but I have no idea who wrote them....I only found them in Beanstown106's DroidX Miui V4 rom and they happen to work wonderfully on the Bravo.
UPDATE Post
SimpleOverclock
An alternative to No Frills CPU Control with profile support, apply on boot, io changer, governor changer, & more features to come. Probably going to be my new overclock app, need to test for more than a few minutes.
My Little Experiment
I uploaded the governors here for the Bravo, and to Mediafire for the Defy. In the first 2 hours of posting -- 6 Bravo downloads to 45 Defy Downloads (and a page full of posts). Not very surprising, but interesting none-the-less.
*CM7 - The modules for boosted and sio aren't included with this patch making it useless for CM7. I've already released a patched CM7 with this in my Kang thread.

I figured that I'd let you all know that Epsylon3 is going to add BOOSTEDassV2 (boosted) to the bootmenu, and its already supported with his Touch Recovery. No eta on anything, but its good news.
I'm loving the BOOSTEDassV2 governor! I have my voltages a bit high right now and I'm still getting great battery life with the really slick scaling. Thanks a ton for these!

Me too. I was using them for about a week before I released them. I didn't realize how good they were until I installed CM9 2012\05\12 without them and used conservative. Boosetdass stock runs more efficient and smoother than a heavily tweaked conservative (which I usually get good results with).
I'm just glad that they picked up support from Epsylon3.
I'm currently working on an init script to tweak the BOOSTEDassV2 and smartassv2 settings like the other governors have in the bootmenu. Placing them in 04govandio causes boot to freeze, so I'm gonna make a 98govloader (pick governor) 99asstweaker (tweak smart\boosted) and go from there.
While Epsy is adding them into the bootmenu, there's no telling when Quarx will merge in those changes and provide a new build with them. Besides, its nice having a script that's easy to edit.

What is badass? Thanks to @show-p1984
Well good question. With ICS I (@show-p1984) decided to rework my gb badass which never got released because it was always pushed aside. To break down what it is:
Badass removes all of this "fast peaking" to the max frequency. On a typical system the cpu won't go above 918Mhz and therefore stay cool and will use less power. To trigger a frequency increase, the system must run a bit @ 918Mhz with high load, then the frequency is bumped to 1188Mhz. If that is still not enough the governor gives you full throttle. (this transition should not take longer than 2-5 seconds, depending on the load your system is experiencing)
Badass will also take the gpu load into consideration. If the gpu is moderately busy it will bypass the above check and clock the cpu with 1188Mhz. If the gpu is crushed under load, badass will lift the restrictions to the cpu.
Please remember: Due to it's nature, this is not a benchmark governor. It is meant as a governor that gives you a smooth experience while saving battery, lots of it
maybe???????

You will flash to your phone, then you will reboot, and then you say thanks
and before it get mentioned, Yes i still need to add OC/UV but no worries because CM9 nighly doesnt have and it CM9 nighly also has dvfs enabled, which doesnt allow user to manually configure frequencies.
either way battery life is def on par and it def seems nice and fast... let me know
going to test this bad boy..been waiting for this Thank you so much!
Would it matter which build of CM im on. I update to the newest nightly pretty often, so im assuming I flash a nightly then this after?
Also, anyone find any bugs?

Currently I have only tested CM9 NIGHTLY 20120715. I cant confirm for AOKP, but I am assuming all things should work? maybe? Please report back to me on this...
so it says you need to be on Nightly 20120715 or newer... And I am not so sure about AOKP. I havent tested it yet on that rom

Working nicely on 7-15 of CM. Seeing a definite speed improvement! I feel like ive upgraded phones lol.
Hey Everyone,
I'm by no means a pro at kernel building but I've put lots of effort into these kernels so I thought I'd share them with you. The Uber kernel will always be updated to the latest Kernel version and will be overclocked to 1890 MHz or 1998 GHz (2 GHz) you decide which option you are willing to do. Unlike some of the other T-mobile Galaxy S II Hercules developers out there, I actually have a Galaxy S II and plan on having it until Summer 2014. This means that EVERY KERNEL I POST HAS BEEN TESTED AND IS WORKING although it might not be perfect (few things in life ever are).
Even though I don't post anything unless it works I still don't want to be liable for user errors. In other words, if you flash one of these Kernels your warranty is void and I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE for any data loss or bricked devices etc. A Clean install is ALWAYS recommended. That does not necessarily mean you can't install these kernels on you current build it just means that you might have problems if you do. Recently apps have been getting corrupted for whatever reason whether on Stock or AOSP and in most cases they cause RRs and SODs. If you find yourself in one of those situations a clean install is the easiest fix. If you want to try and save you apps then connect to you phone while in recovery using adb. Then type adb shell. Now once you are in that shell you can run this command to fix your apps "e2fsck -yfDC0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25" it could take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour depending on the state of your apps.
[AOSP 4.4.x UBER KERNEL LINK]
UBER 4.1 - 1.89 GHz RELEASE for AOSP 4.4 KitKat
UBER 4.1 - 2 GHz RELEASE for AOSP 4.4 KitKat
All old Kernels can be found on Dev Host via this link (be careful you read file names and descriptions carefully if you choose to take a peek around) http://d-h.st/users/Cl3Kener/
Installation Instructions
**** IMPORTANT!!! USE TWRP 2.6.1.0+ for 4.4 kernels!!! Failure to do so may result in bootloops due to changes made to TWRP to accommodate SELinux in 4.4 ROMs (Links include flashable TWRP installation zips credits to meekrawb. Just flash them in your current recovery! ) ****
1. For best results a install these kernel after a fresh ROM install (although it still should work if you don't do that)
2. Reboot into recovery (MAKE SURE YOU USE THE RIGHT ONE!!! (See red print above))
3. Flash Kernel Zip
4. Reboot and let Settle for ~10 minutes
5. Install Trickster MOD from the App Store for access to all of the options.
6. Change the settings to something other than INTERACTIVE (Especially if you run it with BFQ it will give you the worst screen lag ever). Then enable "Set at Boot" and push the check mark button at the top right hand portion of the screen or else you will lose your configurations.
7. Enjoy!!!
Error Reporting
I am always open to hearing about your errors although just telling me something went wrong without giving me details does me absolutely no good. So here are my expectations if you do want to complain about something not working:
1. Please list the ROM you are using,
2. The IO scheduler you were using
3. The CPU governor you were using
4. The CPU frequency range (192/1080 etc)
5. What you have done to attempt to fix it.
6. If you were able to simulate it again using the same settings.
7. Anything else you think is applicable to the issue
I would also hope that you would consider trying some of the following things to fix your issue before you ever report it because most of these things will fix the problem without me even having to change a thing.
1) Fix file permissions using a program that does a thorough job. I recommend using the fix file permissions in ROM manager because it is the best I’ve seen. For the record, I don’t actually use ROM manager for anything other than fixing permissions. Please consider trying this first because it tends to fix most of the FC/RR/SOD errors you might have.
2) Make a backup and install a clean version of the ROM you are running and see if you are still experiencing those same errors. You may have corrupted files if you’ve been dirty flashing.
3) If that doesn’t solve it, redownload and reflash, maybe something got corrupted but it still managed to flash. This happens sometimes and I can cause you grief.
4) For advanced users pull a logcat. I know not everyone knows how to do this but you can learn if you check out this OP or other ones like it

3 New Performance Boosters
Hey Everyone,
For those of you who haven't heard I've been using "Koding" as my new kernel build server. Space is very limited with my free account but if you'd like you can click here and signup to help me get more free space. You'll also find that you can learn how to code just about anything (java, html5, php, to name a few). Many developers and adding tutorials and sharing their projects so if you are interested in that stuff make sure to sign up!
I've made two nightlies this morning which need testing. For those of you who were around for my 4.3 you might recall that somewhere along the line there was suddenly a curious SD Card Mounting/Unmounting that would happen after unlocking the phone. I had made so many commits in such a short time frame that I was unsure which one caused the error. I've gone back and added my top three performance improving commits from the questionable series to see if any of these three commits caused the error (I certainly hope they did not, I really hope it was caused by the LZ4 compression and not the performance boosters). Let me know if you see any problems as you use these nightly kernels!!! Remember these are for 4.4 ONLY!!!
Here are the links!

Cheers!

just to let you know i have not been getting the sd card error on the 4.4 uber
Signed up on Koding maybe you can teach me a thing of two (^o^)

BETA2 For 12/16 CM Nightlies and Beyond
Hey Everyone!
Well Team Chopsticks finally got video working although from what I can tell all of the work was actually all done by our very own @bryan2894 who went and found the patches that fixed the video!!! Great work @bryan2894!!! Part of this video fix included the kernel so here is an updated kernel with the patch needed. This kernel will only have fixed video on CM 12/16 nightlies and beyond. I bet it might work with earlier but you might as well update if you are a CM user so what's the point?
Anyhow, enjoy the updates!
Cheers!
Cl3Kener
PS since I know someone will ask, This actually does work great with the 12-14 HellKat build since it also has working video because we grabbed the patches from CM before they were merged.

Question: for official CM 11 update, i am currently using recovery CWM 6.0.3.7, because CM officialssaid so or phone will run into problems. but this kernel requires TWRP, i am wondering can i update CM 11 nighlies with the given TWRP recovery?
Please advise. Thanks.

That stuff is nonsense. The latest TWRP in fact is much better for this phone and flashing this or any other ROM here IMHO. I tested both CWM and TWRP on more than one occasion and results were identical. For me TWRP is also much easier to get into when you have an issue with a new ROM booting and you need to get into recovery via the power & volume up buttons.

I've flashed CM11 (my builds) about 10 times in the last month and have been using TWRP 2.6.1.0 since Sept. without issue.
Just don't try to flash TWRP from within GooManager, either flash from recovery or use Odin (best).
Since the video recording is working now I moved to CM11 using the @Almite (Rom) and @Cl3Kener (Uber 2GHz kernel) and I can tel you this is solid Rock combination in performance and stability even those are still in Nightlies/Beta so thank you all for this amazing team work...
Is it possible to add the BLN notification (I know some don't like it but usually this the feature can be disabled)
Thanks

Current Beta Version: a4x
Beta Release Date: 2014-07-30
Created 2013-12-21

And now, a FAQ. @franciscofranco's FAQ, updated to fit our device.
F.A.Q. - Read this before complaining!
1. My phone exploded, HALP!
A: I don't answer to problems without a log. The log file is in /proc/last_kmsg. Paste it on pastie.org and link it on your post or, preferably, post all of that under the "Bugs" section of DevDB and either post a memo of that in the thread or PM me. Logcats are useless for Kernel purposes, don't bother posting them.
2. OMG BETTARY SUCKZ, IT DEAD IN 45 MINUTAS, HALP!
A: As you can imagine I don't build kernels to decrease battery life. All the battery life problems come from your apps, either Facebook, or Maps, or some Location Service being enabled etc etc. Check your damn wakelocks and fix them, the kernel is not responsible for them.
3. How do I flash this?
A: It's zipped so it's flashable via recovery, though you may also extract the kernel and fastboot flash it. Some alphas come in the form of .elf, though it is recommended that you flash them via fastboot regardless of that.
4. OP is arrogant, I'm gonna call the Internet Police?
A: Deal with it. Especially if asking a question already answered on the first page.
5. Touch Control doesn't work in rXXX release, you suckas, fix plixe!
A: I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for a fix, I can tell you I don't have the solution. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you leave now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I ignore you.
6. What's up with the kernel's name?
A: Well I have '755' in my name. So there's that... KerKat is something like "Kernel" plus "KitKat". This was my best idea at midnight.
7. I'm on stock/CM10/CM9/GB and this kernel doesn't work.
A: This kernel is ONLY for Cyanogenmod 11 and any ROMs that came of it (like AOKP, for example). Don't flash on anything else unless you are SURE the ROM is based off of OpenSEMC's CM11.
8. My Locked-bootloader phone won't boot with this/I can't flash it.
A: This is a custom kernel. It requires an unlocked bootloader.
9. What app do you recommend for dealing with CPU settings?
A: Use TricksterMod. For 2D GPU OC and setting the 2nd CPU core's governor, I recommend Kernel Tuner. Both are feature-packed and free, and if you don't mind an extra icon in your drawer, I say get both.
10. What is the difference between releases marked as a# and r#?
A: The r# releases are considered the most stable, but do not pack all the features newest features because my work is rather slow; I'll add an alpha, an a# release, every time a minor change is introduced. But even if they look and feel stable, do not consider them as such, despite some of them being flashable through recovery. Most of them are dirty builds!!! Meant for advanced users only!
11. I want to support you and your work!
A: Putting a subtle sign in your signature that you're using my kernel (or like it or have/had used it). Please, no big banners or anything, just the name of the kernel. That would be appreciated the most.
12. EYE NEEDZ A DISCUSSON THRED; ARHGAHGHAGHHAHGH!
A: This thread serves as both the development and discussion thread for this kernel. Non-dev discussion is allowed, but please do stay on topic.
And now, thanks!

Don't know what's wrong but this Kernel made my phone lagging as hell and unusable..
My rom is untouched cm11.
---------- Post added at 04:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 PM ----------
Okay looks like the "Hyper" governor caused all my problems.
But also with other governor it laggs and cpu always stays at 384 mhz and gpu always on 177 mhz. This happens even with "performace" governor.
Even recovery laggs as never before. This kernel has many, many problems for me.
Also flashing just the open semc zip takes verry long, it's flashing for five minutes now!
FAQ, points 1, 4 and 5.
You should show some respect, I didn't say anything against you I just reported my problems.
FAQ number 4.
There's a reason DevDB exists. You wanted to report a problem? Use what is to be used.
I give respect where it's due. And so should you.
I'm here with my phone and can't use DevDB.

Hello guys,
I recently began kernel development. For the first thing I'd like to credit @YoshiShaPow it wouldn't be possible without you man! Thanks a ton for your help with this!
Working:
Everything
This kernel is built of stock sony sources with LINARO so it's already buttery smooth compared to stock sony kernel
I'll propably update this kernel really often because as soon as I get some time I quit gaming and work on the kernel instead. It's much more enjoyable for me (and no, I don't suck at gaming, PM me if you want to play BO2 one on one or in a team against others)
Features: (this list will expand like hell really soon, at v1 it's just what's listed here, as I'll be adding stuff to the kernel this list will slowly grow, so if you're not interested remember to check back soon if the features of my kernel would interest you after a few updates)
added interactive governor
Linaro toolchain optimizations
Added intelliplug CPU driver!
WIP: (whatever comes to my mind that I'll be working on will be put here)
enabled KSM (I might have added it already, I'm not sure ^^ )
setting intelliplug is as a default CPU hotplug driver instead of the stock one
configuring kernel instead of having to configure it manually
Download:
HERE - press DOWNLOAD NOW because "download" is an advertisment and will not download my kernel to your drive.
How to flash?
fastboot flash boot mojbootv2.img
or (noob way)
start flashtool
connect your device to the PC in fastboot mode
press on lightning icon in flashtool
choose fastboot
doomlord - right side of the popup window
flash kernel using doomlords way
check the flashtool main window if it says "OKAY" or "OK" after writing boot
pull out the cable from your phone
start your phone
done
About overclocking:
There are some Snapdragon SoC screening issues, so even if you set it above 2.15 GHz it will still not go above 2.15GHz for whatever reason. My Z1 also runs really hot on stock kernel sometimes so I guess that I'll not be adding this. The kernel is already good enough to run everything on my phone at 960MHz smoothly, so I don't really even need more powerful CPU and for this reason I'll not be adding this. Maybe in the future, for the sakes of learning how to add overclocking possibilites, but don't take my word on this. I'll have to get rid of more important features of the kernel in my mind first, then I'll MAYBE add O/C. I just see no point in adding O/C if my phone is already fast as hell at 960MHz way below max stock frequency...
Please do write how the kernel feels for you. I did this for myself, but I'd really like to hear some feedback from you on how it runs.
For best battery (my main goal with this kernel)
download Kernel Adiutor
from the side bar:
CPU
MAX 960MHz,
governor - interactive,
governor tunables - hispeed_freq = 960000, go_hispeed_load=90
Multicore Power Saving = Enabled
CPU Hotplug
Disable MPDecision
Enable IntelliPlug
IntelliPlug profile = conservative
Disable Touch Boost
GPU
Max frequency=320MHz
Your battery will work forever and your phone will still be A LOT faster than on stock
Good to see some new stock based kernels around here! I am going to try this later on!

Thanks, please let me know how the kernel does for you after you flash it.
Thx

Will do! Once I get my ordered and brand new white Z3, I'm going to flash this on my Z1
Stay tuned

You can already flash it. I am safe to say that this kernel is even more stable than full stock one. Battery life is amazing if you disable mpdecision cpu hotplug and set cpu scaling to 960mhz max. It's perfectly smooth on 960mhz. I'll have to switch default hotplug driver with the intelliplug to get even better battery life. It's already really good after you do what I said before, try it by yourself! :highfive:
Sounds very appealing to me Does it support multirom?

Is this kernel have s2w, d2tw ??
Hmm, i can't see hotplugx or pegasusq
all same stock kernel

it will support multirom for sure. I'll just have to implement kexec-hardboot patch as the multirom recovery is already included

Correct.
Thx for creating this kernel my friend Good work!
Now add some I/O, Gov, sound control, gamma, TCP and some decent overclock/feature and I'm in............
Colour/Gamma controls
Could you please add screen controls from this link to your kernel :

Thank you !
@olokos maybe you can start from v22 of doomlord and add new features

I will not start from doomlord source. His code is buggy and my phone even didn't boot once after I flashed his kernel on my Z1. The reason behind that is simple - he is building kernels for TONS of devices and I focus on the Z1, nothing else. I want a stable, fast and battery-friendly kernel. That means that I need a kernel that wouldn't be buggy, that wouldn't cause any errors and issues because of poor coding. I need to build a stock kernel from fresh sources. Right now I'll be redownloading stock sony sources and I'll try to build it tomorrow. I don't know if wifi works because I have broken files on my current stock ROM. I'll propably reflash it in the morning and I'll update if the WiFi works. This is my rom issue, not the kernel issue whatsoever, thats why I can't test wifi, because I already broke my WiFi before compiling a kernel.

Thanks a lot mate! I'll do that as soon as I'll get it to compile again and to the state that my PC could compile it like it did before. ^^

Personally, I'm not interested at all in this, but using stock sony color calibration app you should be able to use it already without any changes from my side. Stock sony kernel supports it and I'm using stock sony kernel base here.
PS. I'll focus on kernel optimizations because optimized kernel = fast response and long lasting battery. Sony didn't give a damn about battery when building a Z1, they just threw 3k mAh battery on it, nothing else. I truly think that they did not optimize the kernel properly. Next update will be purely optimization, that means that this kernel will work faster and your phone will last even more on battery after flashing it!
Can you add doble tap function to your kernel? Venkat kamesh did this on his kernel, but phone desn't go on deep sleep... Thanks!
Olokos thx for making this kernel.
Could you make flashable zip of it?
Sent by my Z1 with XDA Fax

I might make it happen, but only if I manage to get the phone to go to deep sleep. If it won't go to deep sleep then it won't be included in my kernel, simple as that, as I want my kernel to be stable, fast and battery friendly, features are on the 2nd page.

There's no point, if you're unable to flash the kernel via fastboot then you propably are also unable to use it's features. I have no interest in doing that.
