Custom kernels only work on BB52, so if you are not on that then it wont work

I have rooted my phone using superoneclick and have xrecovery installed.I have little bit experience with custom roms as i used to install custom roms for my friends lg p500 but i am a little confused with the baseband version.
Can someone help by telling me which custom rom can i flash to using xrecovery.I really like this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16125620&postcount=1
Can i upgrade to this?
Should i change the baseband?
Is there any good custom rom that i can install without changing baseband?

Hello all. I decided to install Hybrom on my Xperia mini pro (sk17i) but i'm little confused at the moment and don't know what to do. I have installed CM 7.2.0 rom with FreeXperia kernel. If i want to install the Hybrom, i just need to flash stock firmware via flashtool, install Clockwork once again, then install some custom kernel like Rage and then install the rom? Or do something else? And do i need to relock the bootloader to flash stock firmware?
Install stock firmware, install kernel, install ROM. That's all. No relock needed. Custom kernel already includes Recovery so it is not needed.

And when i flash firmware, wipe is automatically done so i don't need to do it manually?

Flashing stock firmware - if you choose it in Flashtool, then yes.
Custom - no, you have to do it yourself before installing the ROM.

Thank you, I really appreciate your answer, but I have one last question. Does the firmware already include rom and kernel, or rom only? And do I have to install newer baseband to it to make the custom rom work?

Stock firmwares in .ftf file already include ROM and kernel both.
Most custom ROMs have their own custom kernel that you need to install yourself. Sometimes it is written in the topic as separate download link, sometimes it is included inside the .zip file, then you need to extract it and flash via fastboot. Check my tutorial, if you need help with it.
Baseband will depend on the custom ROM.
when i use new kernels such as rage v3.1 some games installed on my device (xperia mini) force closes... what seems to be the problem with this? now i am using serenity rom and kernel 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected]#1. i need CWM for flashing new roms but my kernel dont support it... I use xparts but it needs wifi connections in order to install the CWM and after i used it, i cant flash anymore? please help. Thanks.
Use flashtool to change to any desired kernel. That might fix the problem

On custom kernels you don't need xparts, because cwm is included in the kernel.
For the FCs, just try another kernel...
Can i flash a kernel on my stock rom ICS ? (i am using Live with walkman)
while installing a custom rom from the developers community can i install it on my stock kernel, is it neccesary to change the kernel ?
thanks for the help in advance
Yes you can install a kernel for stock ICS, just check out development section
And yes it's necessary to change if it's another android version or if the developer tells you in his thread to use a specific kernel

so that means even if i dont load a custom kernel, would it work on my stock kernel from the manufacturer is it fine ? or i will have to load custom kernel ?

There are custom roms for locked bootloader (no need to flash a kernel) and there are roms for unlocked bootloader (you need to flash a kernel)

Basically no, though it might be the case with some ROMs.
