The kernal I would recommend is Entropy512's for the SGP. The tutorial on there is very easy and very stright foward so you shouldn't have any problems at all. I would recommand the rom I'm currently using but the dev removed the link because he is updating the rom.

Nothing in particular's bad w/r/t the stock ROM. It just isn't most people's cup of tea. Chip's ROM is pretty cool, though I'm limited in experience (onyl stock, Eryigit, and Chip's ROMs, to date) What I like about Chip's ROM is that it's up to date and is constantly in development, the style of it (ICS-theme), and that most of the bloatware's been removed. It's very operational and customizable. Plus, many of the "hacks" that he's introduced via init.d or elsewhere (courtesy of St. Matis; I've added a few of my own and deleted a few). He's edited the framework (or gathered it from another source) to get rid of that pesky "Cell Standby" thing that shows up as a battery drain (functionally irrelevant, but annoying nonetheless) and included a number of apps as stock that many here would install anyway. Look at the thread yourself and check its features

Disinstall all driver, make a clean install of the USB driver 1.5.6, install ODIN 1.8 and thats all...You have all you need to write a custom kernel from the stock one.
In Downolad mode the player is visible just from ODIN...i remember...
Otherwise, after installing the c.kernel, from the device recovery you can do all (c.rom-stock-kernel.zip addon).

Is Chainfire 3D works with U20i?
I was wondering bcoz when I downloaded Chainfire 3D from the google play store and installed it.
It turns my device off and then when I reboot it again, it stuck on the bootscreen nAa freedom within..
Any explaination on this?
It won't work on ANY Android 3.x, 4.x devices.

Thanks babe for replying ^^
There are plenty of reports on Chainfire3D's thread of people with ICS who have no problems with the app.
Now, the problem may lie with the particular ROM, kernel, or a particular combination of ROM and kernel. Tho it may be possible that U20i has problems with ICS/Chainfire3D.
Saying that it won't work on ANY Android 3.x, 4.x devices is missinformation.

Unfortunately you can't because of the different partition layouts of the device and the fact that ever device has it's own unique recovery.fstab which tells the recovery where to mount the /data partition, /cache partition etc. so that operations such installing files, and wiping partitions can occur. If your interested in getting Clockworkmod Recovery on your device I would recommend taking a look at this guide on porting Clockworkmod Recovery to a new device.
Thank you....I will see this guide

Guys is there any CM10.1 rom built including legacy hacks(not expecting a near near source build). Too many strange looking names of roms(ported)......
Also which rom has the highest benchmarks???
Is 3.4 kernel stable with most of the things working????
Also is rooting possible for mini's 4.0.2.A.0.84 stock build without flashing previous firmware(*.62 or *.42) ???
Coming from HTC. Dont know **** about Sony
Can this be done in series?
1. Unlock boot loader
2. Flash recovery
3. Install a custom Rom.
Don't know **** about Sony.

1- not sure what "built including legacy hacks" means.
2- usually we dont care much about benchmark.
3- everything is working with 3.x kernel except fmradio.
4- not sure about rooting for gb or ics stock rom for lock bootloader, but if u unlock it, rooting is just as simple as flash custom kernel and flash superuser or supersu from cwm recovery. Even some of the custom kernel already include autoroot script.

Is there any touch recovery like 4ext or Twrp?
I meant dirty hacks to get some things to work like they are supposed to.

Sony phones dont have separate/dedicated recovery partitions .So usually custom kernels bundle two or more ramdisks which double up as recovery ..It also means flash_image doesnt work ...Dont try ...We have TWRP on some kernels but it's just a hassle imo ...
If you are planning to unlock bootloader then you dont need to revert to .42/.58 ,
In any case you dont need to fall back for rooting
There are two rooting methods ,one using some custom installer

If you are planning to go JB ,you need to have ICS Bootloader which means the .587 firmware has to be flashed with flashtool

Lol ...
Thats the ONLY way to flash boot.img ..having unlocked bootloader means access to fastboot to allow custom boot.img...
Fastboot flash boot xyzasdf.img
If you are in locked bootloader ,the recovery lies in /system and is accessed via a custom script...
You can't use flash_image and/or dd to flash kernels in android system or recoveries ...locked or unlocked bootloader...custom kernels has to be flashed using fastboot....it's a limitation of Sony device ...considering you mentioned HTC and 4ext ,you probably had a HTC desire and used flash_image and dd,and the kernels could be flashed using recovery...Not so on Sony devices...

Stock ICS is bit sluggish but GB is just liquid smooth ...
I did use Stock Explorer and it was slow as hell ...nowhere near Xperia mini ...
MDPI processors are far superior with Neon support ..
Probably you should reflash stock firmware...

Now i have a boring stock firmware, i installed a ROM that is awesome but didn't support my WiFi and Bluetooth, so what would happen if i put my kernel in that ROM using kitchen tool (knowing that the firmware i'm trying to modify installed properly, it just didn't support WiFi and Bluetooth, so it's not a totally different ROM)?

If the kernel you have supports your device I don't see any reason why it would not boot normally. You could always flash the kernel separately from the rom in your custom recovery.

i think that because i know that the kernel is the interface between the OS and the physical chipset components so if that's not compatible with the ROM "and" the chipset something would go wrong...that's what i think

Oh ok. If say if the ROM support is the device and the kernel does too, then wipe the device and flash away. I suggest that you take backup beforehand and also have the stock ROM handy so you can recover if something goes crazy.
