I'm a complete noob when it comes to tinker my x10. I recently installed DonutHD2.2 on it, it has baseband 2.1.71 and Kernel 2.6.29-000530g5f01537 [email protected] #1....
I've heard alot about doom kernel and the others, however I want to know what's the basic purpose of a custom kernel and which one is the best for my rom. Stable wifi connection is my highest priority xD.
Please help a newbie .

Hi,
kernel is the main system core of every LINUX or UNIX system, even on Android (its something like non.consistent linux...) which controlls the whole hardware available on system - e.g. display,processor, memory, wifi and bt and so on.
As you wrote, your system has stock kernel - standart delivered from SE.
You can use any kernels from XDA for X10i, there are not so much differences between them. The main thing is the CPU governors. Stock kernel doesnt have good CPU governor (called "ondemand"), so it drains battery all the time. Thats the one thing related to kernel. There are also some optimalizations and so on like undervolting, possibility to load external harware support drivers an a lot of other stuff.
But for begginner, you would probably appreciate only the CPU governors, because of battery life.

I hear doom kernel is good, but it has wifi problems, especially with the latest version. Which kernel would you recommend?
Try doomkernel or zKernel, but u must know that some kernels are for locked and some for unlocked bootloader. U have doom for both.

Yes, I am also running DoomKernel
I am using 2.6.29-modFXP-DooMKernel-v04b; could recommend it. And wifi works great (using it often, dont want 3G data plan).
As was told - depends if you are on locked or unlocked bootloader; but locked doesnt matter I have it also for to be completely save

I don't know if I have locked or unlocked bootloader. ^.^
How do I check?
Also if I install any of these custom kernels, would I be able to restore the original SE kernel if needed?
U can check it with s1tool, find it on this thread (step for unlocking bootloader). And yes, u can return ur stock kernel, with flashtool. All info u can find on this thread:

If you havent done bootloader unlock, you have locked bootloader Or test as described above
And yes, if you will install any custom kernel you are still able to load original kernel from SE. In case you will delete locked bootloader image; the stock kernel will load instead. This is on locked bootloader, dont know if this also on locked kernels.
No, DoomKernel doesn't have WiFi problems...I think you said it because once you have DoomKernel installed on your phone, you must flash and adittional file using Flashtool that is called Wifi Module, and everything will be fine again..

Personally I havent used Feralab ROMs, but on other ones I didnt have any problems.
You dont need to backup stock kernel, it cant be erased (only after bootloader unlock).
If you will find any problems, we or I will surely help you
Yap, on locked BL u can't erase stock kernel, u don't need to backup.

Flashing Kernel
I am a total newbie and have rooted my x10 and unlocked its bootloader. But now I want to use custom roms but do not know how to flash a custom kernel. Can you guide to a thread which can show step by step guide on flashing custom kernel???
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am searching all the threads since last month without any success.

I guess that you can find a complete tutorial on FlashTools topic under the complete FlashTool guide.
Long story short:
1 Install Flashtool and put desired kernel file inside the firmware folder (which is located inside flashtool folder)
2 Connect phone with unknown sources and USB debugging checked on and check if its recognized
3 Click the flash button (the one with the little thunder), select the kernel file
4 Follow FlashTools instructions (it will show up after you select the files and hit ok)
5 ??????
6 Profit

That additional file called WIFI module or WIFI fix must be flashed via Xrecovery, because it's a zip file. With Flashtool you flash just FTF files (FlashTool File).
Doomkernel (V06) are good, Ferakernel also, ThJap th n5-1... This are kernels for Stock based Roms.
For non-Stock based Roms, like CM 7.2 AND CM9.1 based Roms, you must use kernels which are based on that Roms (FXP kernel, Amin kernel...)
That rom that you were flashed (Donut 2.2.9) is one of the best Stock based Rom. You can use Doomkernel v.06 with medium OC (Overclock) 1113 Mhz. First download Doomkernel on PC, and put that file in Flashtool/firmware folder. Than download WIFI module for that kernel and put on SD card of your phone(every kernel have specific wifi module). Flash kernel via Flashtool, when finished, reboot into Xrecovery ( when you power up your phone and blue led lights up, keep pressing Back button on your phone). Choose Install custom zip, than find your downloaded Wifi module and choose to install. After that, choose Reboot option in Xrecovery and enjoy...

Hello people. Well, I wanted to ask if it's obligatory to use a Custom Kernel with MiniCM7 2.1.9, because a friend of mine wants my help to flash that rom, but he doesn't have unlocked bootloader (and i don't wanna unlock it if it's not really necesary).
So, can I flash the Rom, and then flash the kernel inmediately or something? Or I will have to unlock bootloader to flash? (if i have to, will SE Tweaker Tool make it easy or i have to follow the How-to in development section?
Thanks in advance, and sorry if my english is bad (is not my first language).
You will need a custom kernel (and an unlocked bootloader) to run this ROM as its dependant on a number of files and scripts withinn nAa's kernel.
Unlocking the bootloader isnt terribly scary now compared to a few months ago. The instructions are fairly straight forward, so long as you exercise common sense then you should be ok.
Custom kernels overwright the bootloader - which Sony Ericsson in their infinite wisdom (not) decided to protect even though they gave up updating software quite early on for the x10 mini (pro). If the bootloader is locked then a custom kernel will fail (and brick the phone).
You would normaly unlock bootloader. Flash with flashtool the custom kernel, then use the integrated CWM on the kernel to flash the ROM zip file. You cant flash the ROM and then the kernel as it doesnt really work that way..
Flashtool has alot of features built in now so you probably wont have to worry as much. But do take your time and get everything prepared. I.e. Make sure you have the ability to put the rom zip file on the sd card before you start.

Is there a way I can overclock my beloved x10? What are the risks in doing so?
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
use doomkernel v06 on stock rom or rom based on stock rom.... u can overclock upto 1.2ghz using inbulit app or using set cpu or antutut cpu
the risks of Overclocking are that not all devices can handle it .
and could cause sudden reboots etc when the cpu's "drowning" in data
and ofcourse battery will drain faster (not that i notice it that much)
to be honest i havent read or seen or even encountered any "real" risks can be annoying if your phone reboots but you can still undo or even try a lower OC speed.
i believe its most important factor in weither you can or cant handle is heat.
(pardon my english) a phone releases its heat passive meaning if you put it out in the sun chances on reboots will be higher.
http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/news/mobile-phone/3255360/should-you-overclock-your-smartphone/
check this out its a good explenation i found.
I decided to try for myself and I now use DoomKernel v06 with SetCPU I don't really see a point in overclocking my phone though haha but can underclocking it have a negative effect when it's just on standby when I'm at school? And I'm not sure what governer to use hahaha

Underclocking
When phone is in standby mode it doesnt need any underclocking it goes automatically into deep sleep. This cpu mode saves lots of energy.
Most of custom kernels already handle it.

Depends on your liking. Like Battery Lifespan, performance and so on. For Knowing more about governors and their specialties,
In This Thread, it explains Things about I/O schedulers, Kernel, Governors and related information.
If DooMKernel versions for locked bootloader, i recommend 1113MHz as optimal and best for your X10 because moderate overclock, and compatible to most Custom ROMs. You can get it under my signature link.
Hope helps.

If I flash the DoomKernel-1113 kernel, is my phone automatically overclocked or do I need to set clock speeds after downloading SetCPU etc?

Setcpu is to change governor and increase frequency. Yes you need. Because your original frequency is 998MHz.

Please note that DoomKernel V6 has two versions: For Locked Bootloader and Unlocked Bootloader If you're looking for locked bootloader version, i got it linked under my signature.
While DoomKernel V6 for Unlocked Bootloader, link here Place the ftf under flashtool subfolder "Firmware" to flash the kernel wifi modules can be flashed via Xrecovery (in case Wifi not working)
There're 2 ways to get back stock kernel:
1) [LOCKED BOOTLOADER] Just full wipe, clear cache partition in xrecovery will restore your Stock Kernel as long as you didn't unlock your bootloader. Note that these actions will remove all your user and system Data.
2) [UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER] Flash the Stock Kernel for Unlocked Bootloader via flashtool. Stock Kernel Link for Unlock Bootloader Here. Remember to place the stock kernel FTF file under flashtool subfolder "Firmware" to flash the stock kernel then flash the wifi modules (if wifi not working) via xrecovery
Hope helps. Cheers

Hi,
Mine runs on 245Mhz and 1.114GHz with no negative effects. No noticeable drain on battery and no freeze effects.
When I choose 128Mhz as the lowest frequency it takes a while to get going. ie sometimes I have to press the wake button twice.
When I clock it to 1.2GHz I start to get problems with the program freezing/jamming up. Make sure you don't tick the "apply on boot" straight away until your happy with the stability of your phone.
Hope this helps.
I'm using 128/1036 Mhz. It's just that little bit extra which makes your phone super smooth and you save the extra battery life with the 128Mhz cap.

MiniCM7Pro will only run on the stock kernel, there was no need to unlock your bootloader, and most certainly not to install a custom kernel. Get back to stock kernel (I think there's a link provided for a kernel you can flash with flashtool) and then run MiniCM7Pro.

No, the order doesn't really matter, but your phone will only work if you pair the right kernel and the right rom together. The ROM post will state which kernel it will run on.
so for:
MiniCM7Pro - Stock Kernel
MiniCM7 - nAa-13 Gingerbread kernel
ArcMiniNxt - Just about every kernel
MiniCM9 - nAa-04 ICS kernel

Just about all roms that state they're based on CyanogenMod (CM) include App2SD by default, all you have to do it activate it in settings.
ArcMiniNxt is a Gingerbread ROM with a sony ericsson framework, so it will look and work a bit like the original firmware, but based on Gingerbread, and it will run on the stock kernel. It seems smooth and easy on battery-life.
MiniCM7 is sort of the 'default' ROM to go for if you want Android look-and-feel, it is further developed than MiniCM7Pro, but you will need the nAa-gingerbread kernel for it. It is also very smooth and fast.
Mind you, nothing is perfect, you can expect some problems with your keyboard layout and keyboard lights on all Gingerbread ROMS, but there are fixes for that if you care to search through the x10minipro development forum

*All kernals work on any roms or is there any limitation in it??
*Can kernals be flashed with phone itself (like flashing custom ROMS in CWM) without needing pc???
*Are there other Recoveries like CWM ? if so what is their advantage ?
*after a full wipe/factory reset, can recovery be accessed just by flasing kernal only?
*Clocking depends on kernal or Rom or both??
sorry for asking too many questions..these are in head..
i would be realy grateful if anyone answere these....

*Not all kernels are working, check the thread of the rom, which kernel is recommend!
*You need a pc and the easiest way to flash the kernel is via flashtool
*Yes, for example Amon Ra, but I don't know if it's available for our devices...
*Yes, most custom kernels have cwm built in, so you can enter even after factory reset or after formatting /system
*Overclocking depends on kernel as far as I know, but it's dangerous and your phone could brick (overheating, etc)

*it dosen't matter. Personally I flash the kernel prior to flashing the rom.
*Governor is basically a setting for managing the frequency of your processor depending on different values in different governors (try googling about different governors like- smartass,ondemand,lagfree etc). In my opinion you shouldn't go above 1.4 Ghz, you can go above this setting but your battery efficiency will drop and also you risk the chance of burning your processor. Your phone should be overclockable to that value but I have read somewhere that each chip is special to a phone.
I feel that 1.2 Ghz is a safe value for my phone and is fast enough for me. You can try it youself by downloading no frills cpu control from playstore and setting your desired frequencies.

Hi community, this is the first time I post something and maybe this is the wrong category:silly:
I have an e10i, I love it, and following the instructions of this forum I managed to flash custom roms and I'm extremely happy with CM7 2.2.2
But yesterday I read that this ROM supports nAa .32 kernel and I'm wondering if it's worth it to flash this kernel (since I read it is intended for newest androids) will this kernel improve the mobile performance with CM7?
And in affirmative case, how do I flash it over nAa .29? Directly over the old kernel? Should I wipe everything before? Is there any way to don't loose all my mobile data and settings?
In cas someone needs it: http://imgur.com/dOKFR6j

Hi community, this is the first time I post something and maybe this is the wrong category:silly:
I have an e10i, I love it, and following the instructions of this forum I managed to flash custom roms and I'm extremely happy with CM7 2.2.2
But yesterday I read that this ROM supports nAa .32 kernel and I'm wondering if it's worth it to flash this kernel (since I read it is intended for newest androids) will this kernel improve the mobile performance with CM7?
And in affirmative case, how do I flash it over nAa .29? Directly over the old kernel? Should I wipe everything before? Is there any way to don't loose all my mobile data and settings?
In cas someone needs it: http://imgur.com/dOKFR6j
My kernel at the moment: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1256739
The newer one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136471

Thanks in advance

You can just flash it over the old kernel and it will work. You will only lose data if you flash different ROMS not different kernels. (ofcourse, don't do the recommended formats for the new kernel, because they destroy your data)
In any case, perform a backup in CWM first, so you can restore it in case anything goes wrong.
It will be a little bit faster, but on the other hand, you will most likely loose bluetooth capabilities, because the .32 kernel has a few issues with that. So just try, and if you're not happy, you can always flash .29 again

Thanks so I'll just have to flash it with flashtools and MiniCM7 will start as always right?
