[KERNEL] 2.6.29.6-nAa-14 [23/8/12] Custom Gingerbread kernel + CWM Recovery

• Based on stock 2.6.29 SE sources
• Upgraded to Linux kernel version: 2.6.29.6
• Ported various components from 2.6.35 / 38
• Significantly fast booting time (~25 secs from power button to lockscreen)
• CWM recovery 5.0.2.7 in kernel
• Netfilter support / AP support / Usb tethering
• Swap support
• Tun/Tap
• Mddi fix
• Ext3/4 support
• Modules auto-copying at boot
• Dual touch options:
  - Fake dual touch in kernel (thanks to andrej456) (default)
  - Modular fake dual touch in kernel (thanks to doixanh)
  - Modular no dual touch
• Many CPU freq governors to chooce from: interactive, interactivex, minmax, smartass, smartass2, scary and savagedzen
• Modular Undervolt
• NOOP ioscheduler
• TINY RCU
• DM_CRYPT_GLOBAL_WORKQUEUES
• Ramzswap for compcache
• Offline charging embedded in the kernel
• Stable and fast oveclocked frequencies (not enabled by default)
• Frequency table: 19MHz - 864MHz
• Default CPU governor: interactive
• Two way call recording (might be against the law for some countries, you are responsible for using this feature)
• Interface Stat support for ICS
• Memory management and binder improvements from gb kernel
• Many, many feature and stability patches from various kernel sources
• ICS DRM support

• For wifi to work, the ROM MUST have Wifi built from sources as in CM. If this is not the case, the Wifi WONT work, DON'T compain here about that.
• For vibration, the ROMs need to use the gb implementation.

• Unlocked bootloader --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1254225
• MiniCM7 or any recent gingerbread-based ROM
• Flashtool tested to be working with your phone, e.g. from here: http://www.multiupload.com/GYL7A7XQBT Original flashtool thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=920746

• Backup
• Unlock your bootloader as described here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17384177&postcount=3 or here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1254225
• Download the kernel ftf file from here and move it to Flashtool\firmwares so that Flashtool can pick it up
• Flash the kernel via Flashtool
• Reboot and check Settings -> About Phone:
  
  

• Flash back to stock using Flashtool or SEUS.

@nobodyAtall
I created an init logo for your kernel, it isn't so good but you can use it if you haven't created one!!!
