DO NOT SPAM THE BOOTLOADER CRACKING THREAD, IT IS FOR DEVELOPERS ONLY.

We are able to boot custom kernels now!
Anyway... this is the first release of the fully working custom kernel (flashable via xRecovery). I haven't had much time to work on it so it's kind of proof-of-concept. Tested for 48h without any problem (not even a reboot).
FreeKernel-alpha1:
http://www.mediafire.com/?d8v914keiqsmc3n
This is the alpha version of custom 2.6.29 kernel based on the SE sources. I do not plan to work on this release anymore - it is just for testing purpose. From today on I'll start to port SE stuff to the latest (GBread) kernel.
Changes:
- removed 32 fps cap
- implemented netfilter (Droid wall, native USB/wifi tethering etc.)
- undervolted to 0.950mV to save battery
- don't remember what else I did, I bet something nasty
- super ugly boot logo!
Requirements:
- baseband .52 + the relevant kernel
- clean 2.1 ROM, compatibile with .52 baseband (e.g. .504)
- working xRecovery
Please note I am not responsible for any damage this software may cause to your device! Use it at your own risk!
There is absolutely no support for this alpha release!

So, if you want to test this new kernel, please keep in mind it is only compatible with stock 2.1 firmwares (.504 and above) that are compatible with baseband 52.
It is only for testing purposes, and any feedback for this alpha kernel is purely for the benefit of others, Z is not and will not be supporting this version, do not expect it to be ready for daily use!
Please post your results and how you get on with the kernel.

I tested the kernel on baseband .46 on TripNMIUI 0.3.2, and the removal of the FPS cap is incredible, the phone is so much smoother and fluid it is unbelievable - it is like having a new phone. I noticed the screen feels a lot more responsive aswell!.
Obviously it is not at all compatible with the ROM, there is no radio and there are frequent reboots, but just a taster in terms of things to come
Apologies for the poor video, but I think its enough to get the general gist of the smoothness
Tried custom kernel just for kicks on trips miui 3.2...bb 54 and up super unstable no network/wifi tons of reboots....
bb 52 and bb49 no network but wifi IS working no sd card mount though
gonna test other roms aswell....
For install custom kernel to be need xrec by Z not from flashtool.
All works, clean install bb 2.0.46 and 2.0.A.0.504.
Dont problems.
I done back to my custom rom way xrec and flashed the patch bb.49, nothing problem.
cheers
this will not work on bb .46 i have tried and failed. no network at all. have tried on several roms... only eternity roms are working on this kernel on bb .52....
supposedly it is suppose to work with bb .49 have not tested on this bb so i cant say for sure.
guaranteed on .52 build 504...
results on quadrant show fps cap has been removed.
overclock is not possible but undervolting is
colors have not yet changed but should upon release of other custom kernels
Can I brick my x10 with this or only bootloop it (because bootloop is fixable with SEUS)
will this work with freex10 and can anyone give me a link to the main thread where zdhihu posted this? i can't find it. thanks.

You can't brick it as you only flash some files to the system, and you should still be able to access xrecovery if it bootloops
THIS IS ONLY USABLE WITH STOCK 2.1 ON. 52 BASEBAND!!!
This is a test kernel not meant as anything more than a proof of concept. There is absolutely no reason to flash this unless you are personally working on making your own custom kernels. This kernel is not even an alpha release, it will never be developed or supported. If you choose to flash it just to toy around don't whine about functionality.
When custom kernels are available anything the hardware is capable of and drivers can be written for will be possible. Everyone needs to calm down and quit asking the same questions over and over.

No. Z posted it in the bootloader cracking thread. This is only meant for stock 2.1 FW on. 49-.52 BB and is not functional for daily use. This is only meant as a test if you want a stable new kernel its still going to take a little while.

It won't work with any ROM 100% - its just designed for testing, you won't be able to use it for daily use yet.
If you just want to try it out, its possible it will boot up on freex10 and you will see the effects of not having a FPS cap - but it is unlikely the majority of things will work, like radio etc. as it is meant for stock 2.1 roms.
If you do want to try it, make a backup on xrecovery first
I dont know what you have xD
What do you mean with "its not ready for dayly use" ?
I use it now since yesterday afternoon and everything works perfect!
I had no random reboots and everything is very smooth!
My Battery lost 1 % with stable 1 Ghz (playing around and testing).
So not be scared! flash it!

As in its only supported by the stock 2.1 ROM, and if you run into any problems with it, its not being supported so you won't get a fix
so for example if i install this kernel on my freex10, how can i remove it later if i have problems with it?

Create a backup on xrecovery before installing it, and then when you need to go back just restore it
Hey . Is this really working cos owain in ours minipro forums said its only first april joke, and we cant yet load custom kernel. Is there any difference between x10 bootloader and minis ??? How long it will take to do a fully working roms , softs to ours xperias ???

@ Whitecookie:
Do you use the .504 2.1 ROM?
Does someone if it works with 2.0.2 (the ROM which Eminence V1.2 is based on) works 100% with this kernel?
My first root, eng-off and all that I did through a guide on the internet that included kernel and rom for Leedroid.
Now I've installed AR3.6 and I'm wondering if I need to manually instal a new kernel or if the roms contain the appropriate kernels themselves.
a ROM always includes a kernel, but you can flash another one if you want to.
Yeah can't wait till theres a kernel for ARHD 4B4

I wouldn't recommend that for daily use though.. apparently it's buggy as.

Hi!
Im thinking about install a new rom to my phone but cant decide which...
I want a rom with so small bugs thats possible but still some features that makes the phone better
I installed this Clockwork Recovery for a pretty long time ago and dont remember what it do
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044585
So I wounder if I need it or just can remove it?
And if I gonna install a new rom, which Recovery is the best at the moment?
Would be very thankfull if somone with more experience could tell me their opinion!
My prefer is void. (2.2.2; #eridanus) by Noejn.
Install Perfect Recovery 4.0.0.5 and try yourself all ROMS.
Sent from my u8800 using XDA App
Okey will try that rom and recovery
But if im not happy with the rom can I then change back to the orginal?
IF you take a backup with recovery yes,!
Sent from my u8800 using XDA App
At the moment definitely VOID 2.2.2 latest
What makes void so great? Dec got rid if his phone so no more updates. Might as well use something that'll get new fw updates..
I believe that Oxygen is the best Rom at the moment. Miui is very good as well, but with Oxygen battery life is amazing (more than 40h, with wifi and BT on all the time) and it's got most things sorted.

It maybe so, but at least camera is fully functional.
So, which ROM would you suggest overall? Fully fuctional, acceptable battery life, speed etc. I'm with B137 v8.2 and I feel I need something new.
FYI, I usually clock the cpu to 1Ghz or 1,2Ghz.
then go for the v8.4 & his new kernel
http://bbs.goapk.com/thread-3177723-1-1.html
http://bbs.goapk.com/thread-3423090-1-1.html
this is the most stable rom atm with good performance. other roms are faster but some things dont work or they are not stable.
your choice.

how do you know that is. good Rom. did you tested it already? so is a room like void with Android 2. 2. 2
i use this rom for almost 2 months now. from v7 i think.
i never ever had a fc reboot etc (except 1 time i had the cpu at 1.5ghz).
everything is working fine, the only small problem lies in the modified franco kernel genokolar used (he modified it to be even more stable),
it has some problems on charging (franco's kernel had them also as i have read, i dont know if its fixed on his newest version cause the modified one is 1 version older than 20 july one).
(u can avoid that problem the kernel creates by not flashing the kernel and keeping v8.4 kernel).
here is a link that i have uploaded both 3
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=V99GYVBN
dont forget to install superuser from market or root will not work without it (as everywhere else also).
for the ones that want performance its not the best out there but its still a good one.
i get 24xx at quadrant at 1.3ghz when this void user gets the same at 1.5ghz but i get lower on antutu (3018, made a 2nd run and scored 3167 if it matters) propably cause of the 0.2gz less cpu speed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15978575&postcount=326
but this oxygen user gets allot more than me on 1.3ghz http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16303582&postcount=391
(i have also 1.2gb worth of apps installed if this matters)
the good thing this rom has is stability and everything works, from what i read most other roms have things not working, bugs and not that great stability, miui is a VERY good rom also (has its small bugs) cause its based on 2.3.5 but i dont like miui style ^^ (personal opinion).
oh i forgot to mention that its totally stock (except 1 small app with reboot,shutdown etc options).
i made some changes please re-read my answer

bro, thanks for ur info.
btw, my ideos is u8800H, is it compatible also? and i had flash with muui1.7.3 (android2.3), is it can flash back? ( use recovery tools to flash?)
thanks for help.
yeah its for the u8800H also as i can remember. you can keep a backup and if you dont like you can go back anytime...
oh and flash works just fine, i dont see any reason not working.
there is a new miui version that came out before an hour, try it first cause you maybe like it better (since i see you already have miui).

Thank you very much. I have flashed your uploaded three files and would like to confirm that this v8.4 is the best ROM for u8800 nowadays. BTW, since the original ROM is from China, I do hope to have your help to keep update this ROM whenever there is a new version or any changes.
no problem, i can keep you updated, at least until Genokolar decides to put his work here.
tried the v8.4 from Genokolar on my UK Huawei U8800 and it didn't work kept looping at the start screen, so I went back to using the FLB Custom ROM
has development of this been stopped for the xperia x8? as every thread ive been able to find has a dead link or the version hasn't been update for a few month and still has massive bugs with it such as no camera and lots of other problems
There is nAa's MiniCM9 which is an ics, uploaded two weeks ago.Camera is the only issue, but it seems it has been solved and we wait for the update.
You must use nAa's ICS kernel if you want to use this.I recommend it, it's a good and smooth rom.

+1. The rom is stable fast and battery friendly, if you don't use the camera it's a good rom, wait for it to update, if you can't live without cam.
Updates are not as frequent, but miniCM itself is not fully complete, not to mention the x8 port.
can anybody give me a link to it as cant find it with a search
nevermind found it now

There's an ICS for stock kernel developed by DevStaffAndroid. You may try that.
thanks a lot
If I was to try and port android ICS, would people be interested? And help me test it?
Im making no promise but I will try to do it.

Hi!Be sure that every DS 5 user will be appreciate to you and every one of us is ready to test it and donate you!
If you search the forum you can see that hPa was developing CM9 for DS 5 but his phone crashes under bus and he shared his development files in the forum.
And i think you can use CM9 for acer liquid s as a porting source because it almost has the same hardware with DS 5.
Big big big thanks!!!

the main problem is to build the boot.img(kernel)
I compiled the ICS from source from Cyanogenmod9 N1(unofficial) source
replaced the proprietory drivers
but stuck on building kernel
if you could do this
we can release our first CM9_KANG_RCx(★★★★★)
world starts there
hPa said DSC kernel is enought to run ICS. You can try it.

hope so
from what i've learned recently - disabled hw acceleration is caused by missing genlock support in kernel (it's required by adreno200 ics drivers, i believe). i've applied genlock enablement patch to dsc kernel sources, compiling it as i write this . if new kernel will give me working hw acceleration - i'll proceed to incorporating hpa's patches. fingers crossed
as of amss and dsp mods being required for ics to work - dunno yet. at least rild is working ok, according to logcat and signal strenght icon in statusbar and cell network name appearing on lockscreen.
Sorry for my noob question, I see our DS proc. and gpu similar with HTC HD2 and both use 2.6.35.xx kernel. HD2 can run ICS used the modified kernel from Tytung. They hv 2 version ICS, non hwa and full hwa, both can run smooth. Maybe we can use or modified the kernel for our DS.
I hv evo 4g running ICS, kernel Tiamat 2.6.38.xx. The rom is not too different from HTC HD2. ICS w/o hwa hv little lag but can reduce by using chainfire 3D to reduce the picture quality.

why we have proprietary drivers for then? just in case?
learned that tiamat kernel's genlock patch (they also have it included since feb'12) is somewhat different of what i've used to apply to dsc sources and produces rejects when applied. will look into this later.
EDIT: Correct. Currently i'm examining both kernels you've mentioned for kgsl-related stuff. It's is quite different from what we have in dell (read dsc phoenix kernel) sources. Errors i'm getting currently clearly indicate that kernel-side need to be updated for using ics drivers.
Hence, here goes kgsl backport mini-project. No clear ETA, but I'll try to do my best and finish it asap.

Hello there!
Van időm, mert megkértem ezt Kolteabhiman Super-v0.3.120308-ROM linket MokeeOS u8800pro Sakura.zip-on használom. Azt hiszem, gyorsan én nem találtam benne hibát stabil! Tudom használni a szuper jó! Mindenkinek ajánlom, hogy próbálja ki! (A fórum megtalálható az összes ROM-ot próbáltam, de azt látom, hogy ez a legjobb!)
Data_ext4_formatter.zip rendben van, de sajnos nem tudom használni a biztonsági nandroid! Aztán amikor megpróbálja ROM lenne nagyon fontos, hogy ne kelljen újra telepíteni alkalmazásokat használom 91dB!
Ha valaki használta volna a véleményem Android kernel 04:03 2.6.35.14.DSC.TEAM.Phonix 985 hPaKick ROM ha jó tanácsot írás!
Elnézést a google fordító hibázott a hozzászólásomra!
