[Q] About Wolfs V7 Test and DoomKernel - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have two things to ask about Wolfs v7 test:
1.-After the installation of the update (v7), in settings->about phone, the compilation version says "Wolf_Xperia_6.0.0s (as if it were a stock kernel version, the one i flashed was 6.0.0c)
2.-my phone has unlocked bootloader, so i flashed DoomKernel v05a with BM 1.3 and its respective wifi module, they work fine, however, as above, in about phone, it says its the FXP version.
here's a screenshot

is this normal?? Something i must say, i was con FXP 030, but came back to wolfs because of stock camera and tethering. I wiped everything trough CWM and xRecovery respectively and did a fresh install. Everything works just fine (kernel speeds and governors, wifi, FB 2.0, keyboard, etc.)
Any guesses?

Anyone? i really have the doubt, but i can't post it on development cause i have less than 10 posts

I believe you downloaded the wrong file in the first place I have been to wolf's thread as well looking for a chance to test his updated rom but all i have found was V6 firmware

I think it's just a line in the build prop that WB hasn't changed yet. It shouldn't matter and as long as it works fine, it shouldn't be a problem. I'm sure it'll be fixed when full v7 is released.

its just the test version of next release.
v7 is yet to be released

There are lot of things that will be changed on final V7 release. This is just a test version.

[Q] Baseband version

I have installed the custom ROM Cyanogen CM7.0 RC4 v014 Gingerbread 2.3.3 but I can't get the radio up and running. "Unknown" baseband version is the message, so it seems like have the wrong baseband version. The thread about this ROM states the right baseband version is included in the zip file. I can't find it inspecting the RAR file, so I assumed it is included in the ROM as such and the baseband will be flashed together with the ROM. Is this the case?
I have tried several full wipes and reboots but nothing helps. I ROM starts OK but no signal.
I can answer my own question. I flashed the 52 baseband version and by this the radio was on again. My taking from this is the baseband ROM is not included in the Cyanogen v14 distribution.....
did u flash on 2.0.52? Because that's I think the only x.x.52 Baseband version that exists for x10i... also wanted to use that ROM, but my baseband (2.1.54) is not supported.....
BTW: is there any difference between 2.0.xx and 2.1.xx?
Yes, I used 2.0.52. For a moment I started to think about if there is a 2.1.52, but it looks like SE just have one consecutive series of ROM, and there is just one 52 version 2.0.52.
The baseband used to be included in the .zip but J didn't include it for the last version or two. I guess he still hasn't changed the OP to tell people to get the baseband from a different thread in the dev section.
ab Ok... would be usefull, to add this, so dumb ppl like me won't try to install it with 2.1.54. XD
Will soon flash on 52 and when cam-issues are fixed, i'll get my first ROM XD

[SOLVED][Q] Custom kernel for Rdannar Overdrive series 2.3.4 GB

Hey guys, i flashed rdannar's MIUI 2.3.4 ROM,
Its fantastic, i find it faster than J's 2.3.3 when you add th appropriate build.prop tweaks.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062509
However the link in second post he gave us; the wifi fix kernel K010 is not K010, wifi is not working, instead it displays as
2.6.29FreeXperia-b8
[email protected]#1
Wifi is not working. It was fine until i flashed the kernel he gave.
Any ideas, like what other link to K010 that will work on this ROM?
I just don't want to brick my phone if i use wrong kernel like the TripNkernel, it bricked on this ROM.
Issue SOLVED,
kernel here thanks to DOOMLORD.

Flash via Freexperia recovery.
May I ask on advantage of installing a custom kernel? It removes frame cap, but 30 fps is IMO enough and wouldnt it drain the battery faster? Are there any other advantages?

[Q] Where can I find a non-overclocked version of Cyanogen-froyo CM6

I need a non overclocked version. this one reboots all the time.
Or some other version that is 2.2 and stable.All I want is working app2sd and dualtouch, and other features camera etc. Can someone recomend a stable rom?
Hi. I was using this Andread 2.2.9 Pro v7f it was good, only got some small issue such as radio won´t turn off and no headset for radio. It´s updated to v.8 now, maybe raido issue is solved.
Currently I am using CyaNoComb v1.3 (flashed it yesterday XD) everything goes fine. Haven´t found any issue till now.
good luck
I am using CyaNoComb 1.3 for a few days and can say its very stable.
After installing you will probably need to apply a hotfix but everything you need is in that thread.

Multi Boot/Custom ROMs - Advanced users only plz

Hi All,
I searched the forums and though this question has been asked couple of times, I failed to get a satisfying and consolidated answer, so seeking a solution here.
Scenario: X10i, 2.3.3 Stock, rooted using aZuZu. Self-customized framework-res.apk and SemcUxpRes.apk and a truckload of apps. Poor battery life, slightly laggy.
I am equally drawn towards CM7 as well as Wolfbreak 4. I know that both are completely different flavours, but much as I love the Cyanogen innovations, so do i love the tweaks done in WB's ROM with minimal changes to the UI.
Questions:
When I backup my current ROM using xrecovery, what all elements get backed up? More precisely, if I make a backup of my stock ROM using xRecovery, will it backup all the installed apps, conntacts, messages and appdata?
If I restore this backup at a later date, will I be able to get back my phone in the same state as it was backed up? (e.g. I am on level 14 on angrybirds and I made a backup, wiped my phone, and then restored the backup, will I have to start Angrybirds afresh or I can continue from where I left off, as though nothing had happened?)
Is it possible to have multiboot on the X10? So that Everytime I boot up, I can choose whether I want to load the CM7 ROM or the WB4 ROM?
Thanks in advance.
1 yes, the things you mentioned will be backed up (but not the baseband & the kernel)
2 yes, you can play angry birds from where you left off (but as I said you can't backup/restore baseband & kernel)
3 no, not yet. Before official gb there was a solution for dual booting a 2.1 rom with a 2.2/2.3 rom, but I believe dual booting two 2.3 roms is not possible for now

Thanks for that! Just a couple of doubts here:
As you mentioned, the BB and kernel wont be backed up. How exactly will that affect my device? Will it lead to any compatibility issues if I restore to a backed up ROM?
Do I need to keep a note of the Baseband and Kernel versions of all the ROMS which I intend to flash, and flash the corresponding bb & kernel versions prior to recovering a backed-up ROM? To be more clear, supposing I am on bb .71 and kernel 2.6.29, and I flash a new ROM with a different kernel. If I wish to go back to stock by recovering my backup, will I have to flash the bb .71 and 2.6.29 kernel again?
I noticed Woflbreak's ROM uses kernel version 2.3, but I am on a different kernel version (2.6.29). Do I need to downgrade to 2.3 kernel before using the WB ROM? Won't an older version of the kernel cause a drop in performance?
well to sum it up yes you need to keep a note of kernel & baseband for avoiding any compability issue, the kernel part is pretty easy, 2.1 roms all use the same kernel & 2.3 roms another kernel, If you want to go from a 2.1 rom to a 2.3 rom you need to flash the appropriate kernel (& the baseband) with flashtools, but switching from a 2.1 rom to another 2.1 rom or from a 2.3 rom to a 2.3 rom shouldn't be a problem kernel-wise, you just need to pay attention to the required baseband & flash the right one if necessary
what rom are you on?
& by the way 2.3 on Wolfbreak is not the kernel, it's the android version
the bb and kernel are in a 7zip archive linked on the page for wolfs 4.0 along with the newest patch. it explains how to do it all on the page. You must take into consideration when trying a new rom the basebands that it is made for.
Basebands can be found here.
Most newer roms will tell you in the post which baseband you need.
Also see if users post other working baseband versions along with kernel versions. how to use a custom kernel with it and a post explaining custom kernels is here.

[Q] Need help to choose GB ROM to my x10a [SOLVED]

Hi guys,
(sorry if my words aren't clear, please tell me if any of what I say isn't undestandabble)
Yesterday I installed FeraLabs ICS v2.2 ROM in my x10a. Great ROM, I fell in love with android 4 and cyanogemod, it was my first contact with both. But I had some problems using it, some apps not working, others freezing the entire system, can't send SMS etc. I know that probably most of these bugs already have fixes, the ROM is being developed etc, but I decided that it's not for me yet, this is my main phone and I need it rock solid for day to day use.
So I decided to try some GB rom. But there are a lot of ROMs out there, and I couldn't find a thread answering what's the best for my case, so I'm gonna ask fro suggestions. =D
Here's what I need:
- A stable ROM, fully compatible with my x10a;
- Based on cyanogemod;
- If possible, faster than stock 2.3 ROM;
- If possible, less power-consuming than stock 2.3 ROM, but it's the least important feature (got a 3500mAh battery);
- I personnally don't like the Sony UI improvemments and general bloatwares. I like google default apps and UI. Also used a LG p500 for a year, liked a lot the LG punctual customizations;
- It can have bugs about video recording, I don't use it much;
- It can't have bugs with 3g, wifi, calling and texting (hehehe);
So, what flavors should I try?
Thank you all. ;D
Donut HD 2.2 it's faster than stock and cm and works perfect with good battery life 2

Hi,
Thanks for helping.
Looking at the instructions in the thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30999560&postcount=1167). Will it run OK with the feralabs kernel that is currently is installed in my system? Shouldn't I change hte kernel?
If yes, what kernel should I flash?
Hi guys,
I flashed doomkernel, booted to xRecovery, installed the doomkernel wifi module from zip, booted again to xRecovery, installed the donuthd, booted again, installed donuthd, booted to xRecovery and installed donuthd update.
It's really fast, I've never used and android this fast. I'm currently installing my apps, wanna see if it will keep great at night. =D
But I've seen a problem:
My sms messages aren't being delivered, just like happened with Feralabs ICS 2.2 rom. Anyone got this problem? Does this have some relation with my phone being a x10a (and now it's appearing in in my system settings as x10i) ?
Thanks in advance.
Hi again,
Today I cleaned up my phone and tried to install donutHD + doomkernel again. Everything worked ok, except sending and receiving SMS messages. So I flashed back 2.1 stock firmware and 2.3 (GB) stock firmware, and SMS sending/receiving worked fine again, in both versions.
Does anybody has any clue about what can be happening? When I installed donutHD (about 3 times), I was in 2.1 stock firmware, root/busybox/xrecovery from Flashtool (newest version). The same problem ocurred with the Feralabs ICS v2.2 ROM with feralabs kernel for ICS.
I also tried to flash the 2.3th kernel n5-1 (comming from 2.1 stock firmware), but it got frozen in SE screen, during boot. Even xrecovery couldn't open. =/
=========================== edited:
Problem solved: As observed I was upgrading from 2.1 stock ROM to DonutHD. Doing this upgrade coming from android 2.3 stock ROM, the SMS sending/receiving works like a charm. =D
