[Q] MiniCM7 Pro - V14 (With ZombiePanic Kernel) - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

Hello everybody, being a new member, i am not allowed to post in developers section, so i'll ask here:
Which kernel is inside this ROM?
Is any kernel inside zip file?
I ask, because in some posts is suggested to flash separately ZombiePanic kernel, but title of whole thread is "[ROM] MiniCM7 Pro - V14 (With ZombiePanic Kernel)". So i am a bit confused. In this moment, i am back on V10, becuse of WiFi problems, waiting for V15.
In V10, my phone says kernel version is 2.6.29, [email protected] #1
Question is, when V15 comes out, do we have to flash ZP kernel, or it is already inside ROM?
Thanks!

This ROM has been designed to work in kernel Zombie Panic or original kernel, but it works better in zombie panic kernel.
zombie panic kernel is not included in this ROM, see the first page under the link ROM, there link to the thread kernel zombie panic or zip module (if you don't want to use kernel zombie panic)
here link to the zombie panic kernel thread
sorry my bad english

Thanks Steve, that was my idea, too. But thread title is confusing, suggesting, at least to me, that zombie kernel is included. Would be possible to include zombie kernel inside new ROM and do complete process at once?

thats not possible for now...u have to install them separately!

One more question... is kernel backed up when backup is made with CVM? If I install zombiepanic kernel after installing V14, and restore V12 backup afterwards, will stock kernel also be restored?

---

No, because the kernel isn't a part of the ROM and it isn't any DATA, so if you make a CWM recovery with the Stock kernel, then you installed and restored the 1st backup (with stock kernel) the kernel will still be ZP/D4K

CWM is used for backing up and restoring the ROM instead of the kernel, you can backup and restore using CWM but had no effect on kernel. To change kernel there is only one way, using flashtool.

Thanks folks, very clear and helpfull answers!

I have not been able to test this version, I'm testing V15, but it is waaaay too slow.

---

Yes, i can confirm that. V15 is really slow, even my ringphone is interupted every half second while ringing. Back to v12!

How is the battery life in V12?
I was using V9, wich was for me, the most stable release, but, I had the notification bar problem, and battery was dead after 7 hours of 3G network use.
Then, I updated to V15 and the battery is so much better, but, i can't stand the slow system, Do you recommend me V12?

---

I can't say anything about battery life for now in v12, after V13 I went back to v10 waiting for v15. Since v15 is so slow, I restored v10 from backup and just overwrite with v12, without factory reset or cleaning caches. So far, so good... 4 hours from 100% to 90%, wifi on. I do not use 3g very often, if I don't have wifi nearby, I am usually on 2g. It is fast enough for mail and gmail, and much more gentle to battery.
But I noticed another interesting thing about wifi, v12 and v10, same thing. At home, where signal is excellent, in the same room where router is located I have very often connection breaks, wifi almost always disconnects while phone is sleeping, every few minutes wifi fixer is reassociating and fixing connection. At work, it never happens, even with weaker signal. From first connection it stays solid as a rock. Router issue maybe?

If you have a problem with wifi, wifi disconnected when phone is sleep.
try to change wi-fi sleep policy :
go to setting>wireless & networks>wifi setting and pres menu buton, chose advance. in wi-fi sleep policy chose never.

Thanks stiv, but sleep policy is already set to never, as you said. That's why I am saying it is interesting behavior on two different routers.
