Guys what combination of rom and kernel do u most prefer for mni pro coz i been having a trial and error about this roms and kernel...tnx for the answers and explanation on why...
I am having the same issues. I find X Kernel gives the best battery life for Ginger Bread ROMs. I have yet to find a ROM that I am satisfied with. Currently I am running a rooted .62 and finding that to be the best balance. I have removed a bunch of apps based on the tutorial in this forum.
So far I've used the stock 4.0.4 ICS ROM with different kernels.
My most favorite kernels that were working are:
EXtended Stock Kernel - v2 4.1.B.0.431 (had a great battery usage... the most I got on-battery with this one was 22 hours with some light usage)
Rage Kernel v3.2 (i loved this one because of the swap and the ability to OC your CPU, but the battery performance was somewhat lower than the EXtended Stock Kernel - v2...)
You can always try the KRsH Kernel v3.0 but I didn't really like that one.
And currently I'm using the CM 9 RC1 ROM (check their official site) with FXP126 kernel and still testing the performance and stuff. So far I like this one more than all previous.
I hope this helps you out a little bit.
If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. And don't forget to hit the thanks button if this helped you a tiny bit
can you give me a link for tutorial for apps removing?

This link has apps that can be safely removed from the Xperia Arc. I removed the same apps from the Mini Pro without issue. The apps can be removed using Titanium backup on a rooted device.

ICS ROMs are in my opinion still work in progress, buggy if you will.
KRsH kernel v3 is very good at battery consumption
For stability, speed etc I prefer GB ROMs though.
Like CM7.2RC3 + Rage kernel, or Spartan ROM if you like stock. Also on Rage.
In the end it depends what you like. There is no absolute best ROM or kernel.
everyone likes different things.

Thank You very much
how about the combination for gaming guys??? do u have any idea?
and if i am using ics wht should a choose?
ICS sucks.. Bravia doesn't work on my minipro if i dont use xperia gallery app
+1 .. IMHO i prefer to use GB than ICS for a better gaming performance..my current ROM is real ICS lite 29th june, and my kernel is Rage Kernel v3.2 (which i suggest you it's worth to try)..and when im playing some HD game it's still LAGGY (which is not laggy in my previous GB ROM) like Vlachmed said.. i choose this kernel because of its swap capability..i really wanna go back to GB but cant find my old ROM's thread.. (Hybrom V17) apparently the dev has left XdA (too bad)
sorry for my bad english and grammar..
Best Rom and Kernel
Personally I use Real ICS and the kernel is Rage Kernel v3.2 ICS and my phone runs very fast and smooth
Gingerbread
For Gingerbread you can try NeroDroid , and Rage Kernel 3.0

Which of the following ROM List most stable (I need stable than the Stock 2.1 ROM if it can) and fast :
- [ROM+KERNEL]X10MiniProTeam 0.5 + nAa Kernel
- [ROM] MiniCM7Pro - V21 FINAL + Stock Kernel / nAa Kernel
- [ROM] MiniCM7-2.1.9 Gingerbread 2.3.7/CM7.2 + nAa Kernel
I will be based on that for development this ROM Offical 2.3.7 from HERE
MiniCM7.
Like every other GB ROM, it does have memory issues. ICS gives plenty of memory, as much as stock, but its still in beta stage. MiniCM7 is the best we've got.
Yup, there's a lot of new ROM out there, but still got some bugs on it and likely something missing and we need to flash other zip file to fix it up. Most of the failure is about wifi connection, keybord light, force closed, network problem. This week I already used 3 rom. In the morning, I'm on prime HDv2 but right now, I'm using xmpteam rom v0.5.

Hmmm if u choose mini cm pro v21. U better use stock kernel rather than nAa kernel.. A lot of user's out there had theire touch screen not responding.
Sent from my U20i using XDA
I suggest you to use as base MiniCM7 or PrimeHD.
I have been using MiniCM7 for a while now... I must say I have no complaints about it...
MiniCM7 by nAa.
MiniCM7Pro - V21 FINAL by paul-xxx , running on stock kernel. It's the best we've got until: V03 of paul-xxx's Ice Cream Sandwich rom with fully functioning in-built WiFi. I don't want to have to flash extra zip/s to get the WiFi working - I'll unlock my bootloader, change to a custom kernel and use paul-xxx's ICS rom as soon as the WiFi just works. Plain and simple. I can't wait until V03!
[ROM] ArcMini X Remake WiFi Fixed [Links Updated] [24/2/2012]
this rom i think is very good.
just an idea
why dont you focus on stable GB rom for stock kernel?take minicm7pro as a base..and perfect it more (yep this rom is perfect, but do it more)..so that, new user come here, see you rom, download, n flash..(ofcourse they must have recovery first )..this my reasons
1. we already had a lot of gb rom using custom kernel, n new active one is x10mpteam, they doing great, so why do you want to make another?
2. we only had a couple rom using stock..and for x10mini, i dont see latest gb rom for stock, myb im wrong but after you done, you can port for them too..
MiniCM7 from nAa, with this I have 65-70mb free ram
Kernel may have something to do with it though as im on nAa-11..
Sent from my U20i using xda premium
i suggest x10 MP teams ROm with its kernel I have 92 mb free in every minute i can say and its very stable and improved 3d graphics just relax when you have a team like X10 MP team
I remember saying that the x10 mini is way ahead of the big x10 xperia.
And someone said that it's not true.... it is... and we still are.
Looks at the amount of roms with fixed EGL adreno 200 lib's for x10 mini.

"there's only one and it's unstable...."
I Was using MiniCM7Pro - from v7 to FINAL v21, had a locked bootloader...then when MiniCM7 2.1.7 build showed up for our mini pros, I need to unlock Bootloader, and i did it with a lump in my throat,but all went great.. And it paid off.Thanks to Paul-xxx and nobodyAtAll for there invested time and great developing skills they have. Thanks guys!
Been running [ROM] GinTonic.SE | v2.5.1

ever since released, with standard kernel.
No problems for me, everything is working, but maybe the grass is greener on the newer ROMS ?

i was using that rom too, but since nAa ported his rom and kernel I immediately switched. gintonic is outdated and laggy compared to minicm7 2.1.9. but you must unlock bootloader and flash nAa kernel to get it working. back in the day it was longer process, and we had to do it manually, but today there are simple tools to do that easy and fast (unlocking bootloader).

It is a bit of a question of personal taste, but for me it still is MiniCM7-2.2.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415026) together with nAa Kernel. Everything works, it is fast and it is stable.
Got myself a live walkman. what's the best rom and kernel for this phone?

I personally use hybrom v15 with x kernel. Currently the most stable ROM according to me.
MIUI has nice interface, but has still quite a lot of bugs and not everything works. Also CyanogenMod.

I saw before that you were using Rage Kernel, is X Kernel better?
I am currently using Rage Kernel.
Is X Kernel much more battery efficient and better performance compared to Rage Kernel?
I have used rage kernel, x kernel, krsh kernel and bbooff kernel on my live with walkman. x kernel is the best, seems to me.
I also want ot know the best rom for live.
sorry for my english.
I,ve using Hybrom V15 with Rage kernel.
Sometime it abit laggy when your phone on a high temperature. (I've OC to 1.2 Ghz :\)
I think I should try x kernel when I'm less lazy.
PS. If you want a stable ROM. I prefer stock over Hybrom.
I already used hybrom, xrom and miuiv4 and the best from depends on your needs and likes if you want a stock from feeling go for hybrom very stable , xrom is pretty but has some bugs and miui is still beta but with a really nice interface rc0 kernel is giving me and average battery life. Never really tried cm7 or cm9 cause there is no stereo speakers and about kernels for me the rage kernel was the best.
Take into account that everyone has different experiences with roms and so, so the more stable is always stock, if no rom convince you just stick with with stock and try a custom kernel with it.
thank u guys. im sticking with stock until a stable rom comes along.
I use hybrom + x kernel
I am currently using Hybroman V15, used boof kernel then changed it to rage kernel.
Saw here in xda that x kernel seems to be the best.
Installed x kernel and tried to flash the zram but caused bootloops, never gets past bootanimation.
Had to reflash X kernel then install Hybroman again, so far so good...
Hybrom is currently stable ROM.
I haven't noticed big difference between X kernel and Rage kernel at the moment.
Haven't tested battery life difference.

Hybrom is great but when i tried MIUI beta, is the best for music lover..
Hybrom stable, fast, useable..
MIUI true clear bass, stable when i used normally, fast with antutu cpu master..

This Thread Rocks, Thanks to TS, Your Comments are really helpful to those who want to try custom roms and kernel,
Im planning to have mine Hybroman 16 + X Kernel Combo...
X Kernel Is the Best among the Feedbacks so Far... Please add more feedbacks.. thanks...
can anybody point us to x kernel. Curently using rage.not satisfied in bat. Life performance. But want to try x kernel
Hybroman.... this favorite rom, simple, smooth and minimalis.

Here you go... X Kernel
In my opinion, Stock kernel and Stock ROM obviously you must root to get some extra features

Staying on stock rom and kernel is fine but if you want to extract a few more juice out of your phone and set things up a few notch higher; installing customized item is the answer. Improved battery life, bravia display, OC feature, new UI, etc. In the end all falls on the user preference as they say.
I too recommend that stock ROM is the best and almost bug free.
XKernal - Hybrom

I think if u wanna try something more try X Kernal n Hybrom.. I have tried many ROM even the ICS ones this combination gives me hell of a good battery life... n I am not saying that this ROM is 100% stable sometimes gives away but okey
Hy all,
I just got my Mini.
Can you give me some tipps, which kernel and ROM would be the best for everyday using and for gaming?
Also, other tips are welcome too
thx in advice.
Don't change anything, even don't update your phone until ICS comes; I promise you that's the best way playing games and etc.
update, root your phone install cwm recovery, remove bloatware. if you notice problem with back and manu keys just fix it(there is a solution on this forum).
maybe is better to wait day or two for ics release, and then pimp your phone.

I can tell you that the ICS will not be highly recommended for gaming because their OS is a bit heavier than GB. So I think you like games and wants to apply a custom ROM. This is because at risk but you can search for Rage Kernel or X Kernel for V17 Hybrom told me that it is brutal for Games. I tried to install on my LWW but could not. IF you are modifying your ROM PLEASE MAKE A FULL BACKUP WITH CWM. NOT TO CRY AFTER A BAD SET KERNEL
Ok thanks. I will use stock ROM untill a usable custom one is available
Hi people..
I have just unlocked my bootloader.. Can you please suggest ICS Roms for better and smooth performance than the stock Rom and the appropriate kernels for them!
And should I first install the rom or kernel?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
First kernel, then rom.
Head out to dev section and have fun in testing and finding which is best for you. Everyone have different opinions. But try aosp or aokp roms
try the new xperia pureness v3 its amazing,its still beta but its very good
You can try night elf kernel plus ka21.1 ics rom.
Sent from my MT11i using xda premium
if u want smooth working phone install Polish Blood....
if u want customized with toggles and everything use AKOP,CM9
if u want stock rom use Spacious, smooth and light ICS
but if u want everything working perfectly & smoothly go back to a GB Rom -- codename_ei8ht-----a super rom by a super dev:good:
Get codename eight by emann... on gb..
Else for ics.. try otu whatever u can... i prefer aokp only.. and spacious by shradul..
Rest.. well.. not meant for me atleast..
I use Paranoid Hybrid based on Cynogenmod 9 unofficial version. It's heck of a ROM to start with. You get Cyno feel along with ICS 4.0.4 and also toggle between Tablet UI and Phone UI. It's smooth, fast and gives what you want. You can also use variety of Themes available for Cynogenmod. Please use FXP Kernel.

Though I agree that the rom is excellent, I would stick to 20.1 until issues with the market, gallery, walkman etc is resolved. 20.1 just comes off as a more stable release and recommended for those who don't want to spend time configuring after install. Just my opinion..
A good tip might be to use titanium backup, which can also backup contacts and text messages. Since you often need to format when switching or updating roms.
Kernel & ROM Combo
I also have the Night Elf Kernel plus KA21.1 ICS ROM. No need to factory reset if unlocked and already running a previous version of KA. No issue what so ever on my SE Neo Mt15a

Hello,
I have used mostly stock roms on my Xperia U. GB, ICS. Got fed up with stock ICS being laggy & then shifted to GB V3 ROM (Custom rom based on GB) & yesterday I've installed Unofficial Stock JB ROM 4.1.2 V4.
Is there any ROM which is fast like GB & also looks beautiful like JB does? Pls suggest. I need a regular driver, can't change around ROMs & testing them cos I have only one mobile. I was actually very happy with GB Rocks V3 but then I Stumbled upon JB & now my mind doesn't want to go back to GB at all. JB's looks & features are very beautiful & elegant. But the rom is painfully slow, doesn't allow any type of multi tasking what so ever. It has to be bare minimum, even then basic features such as dialer pad, takes ages sometimes to open.
Pls suggest a ROM which has got looks & is worthy of being a daily driver.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers!

BTW..That is the JB 6.2.A.1.100 not the ICS 6.1.1.B.1.100 one
I think the choice of a ROM is like color preferences, anyone will say their is better, but you still like blue/red/green/yellow/magenta/cyan/WTF
So, here is my opinion:
I usually change a little of ROMs, been using thru a couple of weeks GB-ROCKS (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2139840) when I had locked bl. Then, like some, I really preffer the looks of ICS or JB. Tried some and stuck for some weeks with Terra v5 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141726) - It's ICS, fast, stable, fast gps lock, no 3g issues of any kind, but its camera was a little laggy, I didn't like much.
Unlocked my bl and tried some other ROMs for a bit.
Now, i'm using CM9 by FXP, ver 216. It's quite fast, but I think the batteries doesn't last so long as Terra. Anyway, it's a good ROM and under development yet.
I'm always eager to try any other ROMs, but for now I'm sticking with CM9. Also, if you want a good looking ROM, you should try Ligux (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055679&highlight=ligux). It's CM9 based, but with some tweaks that make it a little prettier. But I don't think it's as developed as CM9 anyway.
Thanks guys.
I have found my daily driver. It's CM9, no word for it. It's awesome.
Cheers!!!
So are we thinking cm9 is better than gb rocks? If so... Why?
