Does this mean custom kernel

For X10: Yes. For X10 mini/mini pro: Not Yet, maybe not at all.
So I can use a custom OS but I must use an SE kernel
the basics are the same , its based on kexec ...so if it works for X10 it will work for mini / mini pro as well (but might needs some modifications). And with this you can have a CUSTOM kernel (this is what was lacking so far - you did have a custom OS but due to kernel limitations of SE - not all the features were available to us - like no native teethering or FPS cap ) with CUSTOM OS.
But on X10 it needs a crash without reboot in an specific basebandversion to work. So its more complex then just trying the same on X10 mini pro, but not impossible, because it is now know how to go on after the crash.
currently its alpha state , so crash is not something to be bothered with. The way is known , so it wont be specific to big X10
Good luck hope you guys do manage to pull it off
Why cant they just make it simple
Do they realize easy to hack products are a huge bonus?
Because they fear easy to hack = easy to bypass sim locks etc etc, they fear for their relationship with the carriers as they are their "Business Partners".

Easy similar unlock didn't hurt the sgs and Samsung too much either. The sgs is still selling well and it was unlocked few weeks after release...
Again, their have been numerous time myself and others have not bought a phone because of the sim lock feature.
Sadly SE does not see it that way. They said that on their blog release anyway. ( my last post, though not the same wording but similar meaning )

Flash won't work the processor will not support it, the processor on the mini is a Armv6 - Flash requires Armv7.

U gotta be joking me !!!!!!!! Wtf
well I guess x10 is pure crap
so sad I wanted grooveshark free so bad
Soz mate but its fact - a dev got it flash 10.1 working in a round about way on the hero - but it never worked properly. HTC phones with sense have flash lite (this is only really any good for displaying flash ads etc). You require Android 2.2 and a phone with a capable processor (currently only Snapdragons) to be able to run it. Flash would need to be completely rewritten to work on Armv6 devices, which is possible if adobe release the source code - but that aint gonna happen as flash aint open source.
X( stupid flash
is there any way to get grooveshark.com working?
There's an android app for grooveshark.

Do you guys make this crap up as you go or something??
Install 2.2 on an X10 mini and you'll have Flash working
1. Android 2.1 platform doesn't support Flash; It simply won't recognize the plugins
2. You need a capable browser using webkit 3, which again, won't install on a 2.1 platform. As before, the system files must be able to read all the features/instructions incorporated in it.
Installing the latest version of Flash 10.1 on the x10 mini is easy (after a few modifications of course) but getting the phone to recognize the plugins is the problem.
This is the fragmentation most android fanboys refuse to believe exists. Their answer - upgrade your phone: What, every time Google decide to add new features, which is 6 months.
here's the grooveshark app for android :

last i checked the result was that the fireware in our hadset has limitation and so we can kiss monitor mode good bye but that's my research.
also for those interested you can look at my threads both bt and ubuntu i have dropped some links the there with this regard. (i am lazy to search and stuck at other work right now.)
gutted.
do you reckon with gingerbread coming out soon (with the custom roms that will come with that) and now with custom kernels, would it be possible maybe?

If its at firmware level which effectively means we are dealing with hardware level stuff, so that would be a problem.
Note : thanks was by mistake.
Is it possible to try ubuntu on xperia x10i?
Not properly - i saw many posts with ubuntu over vnc, with touch friendly modified gui. But itin not a fully replacement system
Yes, but will prob require lots of work, ppl have got backtrack running which might b of use/a start.
by now I think its impossible to run ubuntu like we see in other devices, but I guess soooon we'll get many surprises since the bootloader is unlocked. I wanna see some WP7 rom running on my X10
Its been done before. Someone had gotten Ubuntu to work and someone else tested it on the x10. I read it a couple months back so I can't direct you anywhere...

Good link, but as i wrote before (and it is written in your linked thread also) - it still need VNC server, so it is not full system replacement or flash.
I thing this could be used as a geek feature only, because it has dependencies for PC.
So it is not full replacement OS for any phone...
Hi there, and let me introduce myself. My nickname is Phantoome and i'm new to Android.
I'm coming from an iPhone 3Gs and wanted to try something different.
I ended up buying the Sony Ericsson Xperience Mini Pro SK17i!
It had everything i needed untill i unboxed the phone lol
No seriously, i dig the Android os. Pretty neat tbh.
But i wanted to start modding some stuff about it!
Like first of all removing the factory crap, maybe try a decent theme..
But i've seen all those terms and all for example:
- ROMs (Custom firmware?)
- Flashing (Don't know this one for sure.)
I read i should be rooting the phone to be able to get root access,
or getting a different Android version (ROM?) to make it speed up and look nicer.
I recently figured out that MiniCM7Pro should do the trick for me.
I just don't want anything usefull to be having issues (like the camera, flash, gps, reception, etc..)
So i was wondering if anyone could be having some tips for me here?
Like good tutorials or something, because i noticed there are 100s of them and i don't know where to start really..
I ended up here, which made me end up here to root it first,
Now i'm not sure what to do next as i don't want to brick the phone.
He states:
- Root
- CWM
- Only 2.1.1.A.0.6 SE firmware
- Baseband: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you not 2.1.1.A.0.6, you need to flash FTF file via FlashTool.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Should i flash the .ftf file he gives, or the stock firmware which i downloaded here (Also from this board somewhere)?
And i'm not sure which baseband i got either, don't think we use that alot here, never had issues with that on my iPhone either.
Update: I have successfully rooted the phone.
Now i think i have to downgrade (Flash?) the sucker.
ROM is the Android itself, in common words (anyone correct me if any mistakes).
Flashing: I think I won't be able to explain that.
And you are in the wrong forum. This is Xperia X10 Mini Pro, and you bought Xperia Mini Pro (without X10, they are different models in almost everything). So ask there and you maybe get a better answer.
Holy crap, how did i not notice? I'd move this thread if i was able to..
But if a mod spots this, move it if you can. I'll await reaction untill then.
Update:
I managed to get CyanogenMod 7 to work on the phone, guess Android wasn't that hard, thanks for all the nice people to help me xD
Only thing that's not working at the moment is my hardware keyboard after i've been in a 4 hour bootloop...
Maybe in a few more hours i get the keyboard to work and i'm at where i want it to be
Update:
Got the hardware keyboard to work! Aren't i a good self learning Android Student! ^^
Now one small thing left.. Getting the hardware keyboard to work azerty style instead of qwerty.
It's only partially now, as my numbers and symbols don't match the layout yet, AZQ&W do.
Update: Works!! And it only took me an hour and a half to figure out thanks to this topic.
Any moderator seeing this, this thread can be closed forgood. I've been succeeding on my own in one day.
Guess Android isn't that hard after all. You just gotta be patient and accept to learn new things.
In 24 hours, more or less.. Coming from an iPhone and haven't even used an Android in my entire life, i:
- Rooted my SE Mini Pro.
- Unlocked my Bootlock.
- Flashed to Cyanogenmod with the help of the FreeXperia tutorial and ROM.
- Fixed my Hardware keyboard input.
- Fixed the language settings of my hardware keyboard.
- Got proud of myself.

If you came here you said stop to fashion such as "<yupi> <yupi> i have ice cream sandwitch". This phone is too weak for this versions (screeen, ram, cpu) and you just figured out your xperia u working best on GB versions. Stop stiring around its possible or not in locked bootloader to root or not for 19 VIII 2013 still no chances to unlock in direct way.

Yeah, we know but GB is not so much customizable. Also, you don't need to suggest everyone in this way because developers are currently modding the ICS fw so it us disrespectful. Everyone has their choices.

So what's ur.point?
Sent from my ST25i using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
point is to show 'clear' kernels (only root ,no addictional options or fixes) which are made for 3.184 from this sorry word word ' mess ' - try to find something in search bar " xperia u root " "st25 kernel" "3.184 root" or other possibilities.
i found to two this day - one which they say you have to use on 3.184 but really kernel represents 1.564
second broken also represents 1.564
so none actually kernel represents 3.184
loaded "ST25i_6.0.B.3.184_Generic_World.ftf" and in orginal shows Phone Software Version: 1254-3522_6.0.B.3.184
and i want to save new people from getting streessed why their phone loosing signal
