Nope. Only stock.

Running on stock .67 rom without problem. The next version would include sweep2wake?

This works only for an unlocked bootloader. In Sony devices, you need to unlock the bootloader officially to allow flashing of custom Kernels.
Sent from my C6603

Btw using this kernel on .67 will cause the system update to continuously notify that there is new update which is version .67. I guess it's because this kernel is based on .244 source

could you Update kernel sources to .2.67 ？

Anyone notice any negative impact on battery using this kernel? I'm just asking and I'm still using stock kernel.

You won't notice any difference as I have not made any changes yet (except recovery, of course). Also, I'll update the kernel to .67 in the next release, which should be available soon.

please include overclocking of gpu and cpu

waiting for your update:silly:

I tried lot of different ROMs on SP which includes MIUI, CM11, existenz, etc, etc but after 2-3 days of using always have one or more than one problem mentioned above! So I just flashed stock Jb 4.3 and Disabled lot of debloated apps from the Setting>Apps. Installed CLEAN MASTER app. Since the stock is best stable ROM therefore best battery backup no random reboot. Now waiting for the new firmware update for JB 4.3 which has already been released. I hope we are going to get it very soon and going to get a better performance! :good:

Please try Ultimate PureXSP and Ultimate BlackXSP

IMO Stock 4.1.2 is still fastest, just debloat it and it's perfect. I rather stay this and wait fixed 4.3 from Sony.

I found this in the Doomkernel post :
Xperia SP [C5302/C5303/C5306]
stock JellyBean 4.3 FW
.266 - v05, v05-new, v06
stock JellyBean 4.1.2 FW
.245/254- v02, v03, v04
.284- v01
bootloader unlocked
working fastboot
android app for overclocking like SetCPU (paid) or NoFrills CPU Control (free)
so how I can flash it and my phone is on LB ?

yes stock 4.3 got bugs but atleast the camera quality is far better then 4.1.2 whenever I install custom ROM or kernel to my Xperia SP its a kind of unstable i can't even run the full antutu benchmark it reboots at 21% no matter on what custom ROM/kernel i am running :crying: and system reboots frequently. Therefore, Now i flashed the stock 4.3 australia firmware and locked the bootloader now atleast i can run full antutu benchmark now matter how many times i run it! thats why stock is best with disabled debloated apps and obviously no Facebook app also! :laugh:

We do not allow best/rom kernel threads on XDA. What's best for someone else may not be what's best for you. Best advice is to head over to the development section, try some out and see which best suits your needs.

check dev section. but there are not many roms available for XZR as its very low activity device. there is one ultimate XZR rom based on latest kitkat and CM11 for which you will need unlocked bootloader.

If you had read before you'd been aware of that problem. Activate the developer options and enable gpu rendering.

It's okay to use Williams kernel even if you're on Kitkat. As long as the ROM requires stock kernel, the Williams kernel will work as well.

Only you know your situation better than anyone else. I suggest you try out a couple of ROMs and kernel combinations and see which one works best. Also, try installing a minimal Gapps package to reduce battery consumption, such as this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2779598 .
You could also install one of the few custom kernels for XSP and underclock/undervolt it. Be cautious though.
Hit thanks if it helped! Godbless!
