i been trying to install [ROM] MiniCM7Pro on my x10 mini pro but i get stuck on a black screen everytime, can some one guide me here please.
This are the steps i get right
my phone its successfully rooted, i also manage to unlock the bootloader, and install CWM.
but then i get confused installing the kernel and the ROM,

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

Hi. I have some doubts about this, I wanna try the last rom by nAa, and it ask for a unlock bootloader and nAa Kernel, my quiestion is: After doing that is there any way for getting back to the original kernel, I mean PC companion will work? and restore it like factory?
Thx!
Don't worry, you can flash anytime back to stock kernel, witch is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1403808
Thnx, but I meant Mini pro u20...
Btw, if I have a Backup with Minicm7 by paul in cwm with stock kernel, if then I flash Naa kernel, if I restore the backup I had, it comes with the stock kernel??
No. CMW backups the ROM and its data. To revert back to stock kernel you just have to DL a stock kernel file from the site and flash it.
And the bootloader re-lock?
What are the benefits for having an unlocked bootloader, using a rom in stock kernel...
If you're using stock kernel and dont plan on using a custom kernel, there's no benefit.
The whole purpose of unlocking BL is to be able to flash a custom kernel. there are pretty whack custom kernels around which, naturally, are better than stock.
So, what are the benefits of using Custom Kernel?
My x10 mini pro is running paul-xxx's miniCM7pro version 17, and the result I got from S1tool were: SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE (that means I can unlock it right?). My question is can I continue the unlocking process, or do I need to downgrade my phone first to stock firmware?
I'm doing this for my brother so I haven't been much on this sub-forum.
Thanks
I was like you, in the cm7 by paul, I flashed normally with no downgrading....
Just do it...!!

Depends on the kernel you're using. NAa's is the best one out there. Zombie panic is at par with it. Tonnes of features with outstanding speed and stability.
But i guess you're aware of it now

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.

I am using 2.6.29-modFXP-DooMKernel-v04b; could recommend it. And wifi works great (using it often, dont want 3G data plan).

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..

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.

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...

Since you already rooted your phone, use RecoverX to install CWM or xrecovery...

There is no point on asking this!
It could end with lots of different opinions, as IAmNice has already said.
But, since you have already installed CWM, practically you can try different roms very quickly. After a few installations you will probably have decided what's best for you.
Then, you could just make a backup and in the future try other roms that appear without the risk to install everything "from the scratch"...
First you should try some, that runs on the stock kernel (if you are not shure what that is, then just avoid ROMs that requires a custom kernel of any kind).
ROMs are the ones in XPERIA X10 Mini Pro Android Development section with title start with [ROM]...
You should focus on Gingerbread ROMs (CM7, 2.3.x). And don't try the ones that requires extra modules if they are not available. Mostly this means "older" ones. But they are often stable and fast and uses less battery :laugh:
Just to set you off on a good start:
SonyStyle - V1.1 FINAL
MiniCM7Pro - V21 (For Stock kernel)
Cyanogen Gingerbread CM7 based on MiniCM for MiniPro (v15.0)
xCyanogenPro - Gingerbread - v12
Flame.GDX ICS (2.3.7 nightly) 8/12/2011
Andread 2.2.9 Pro v9f - Andread 2.3.5 Pro v3 only 63Mb
As you start to try different roms and gets used to the process you can then unlock bootloader and install custom kernel <- wait to do this untill you feel ready and have read about other users trouble.
Don't know if it's the best but I recommend MiniCM-2.2.1 (by nAa and D_d). Here.
However now I'm testing MiniCM10-4.0.2... and so far so good.
Go for

I'm really enjoying Ginger Sony
i believe that the best rom is ginger sony v5 and not v6 because it has some bugs
There is no such thing.
Closed.
So, I'm a pretty average custom rom user of an x10a.
I've flashed and tweaked out with several gingerbread roms, without any issues.
Recently I found about the newer 4.1.2 roms for the x10 from late December. And I was wondering, 'cause I want to update to one of those, I understand that they're flashed in the same way 2.3 roms are. But, my xRecovery is the 3.0 gingerbread ready version. So I don't know if it will work at all after I've installed one of the Jelly Bean roms.
So I'm kindly asking anybody who knows on the forum if it will still work after I flash to 4.1.2. 'Cause I'm not certain which rom of the two I found is better for me. And I want to test them both out, but of that of course I'd need xRecovery working.
In short I'm just asking for a y/n answer on will xRecovery for the Xperia x10 work after I've installed a 4.1 custom rom, or will I have to go back to stock 2.3.3 and re-root and unlock my bootloader again?
Big thanks to anybody who replies This is the first post I made here, and probably the only one I'll never need.

It can be done, but it depends on which kernel you flash.
Some kernels only contain CWM, while others contain xRecovery and CWM.
But you can always flash a kernel that has xRecovery (Like Doomkernel of ferkernel 3.6), and thus you have xRecovery.

What you must understand is that a Rom comes with some installation scripts. CWM and xRecovery will able or not to understand those scripts.
In order to be able to flash a ICS or JB rom from xRecovery it means that the rom has to been prepared to be flashed thanks to xRecovery.
The Recovery "manager" are provided with the kernels, so there shouldn't be anything to ask about xRecovery or CWM regarding Roms,
just flash the kernel that works with your rom and you'll get the correct recovery to install the ROM from.
The only exception is that on some phone, the CM10 kernel doesn't want to go into recovery before flashing CM10 Rom (happened to me when coming from stock gb), so you have to flash CM9 kernel, install CM10 rom and reflash CM10 kernel.
The question of xRecovery and CWM is more when you try to flash some libraries after the installation of the Rom.
So regarding this question, there's no ICS or JB roms (that I know of) that have a xRecovery scripts.

Any ROM that requires an unlocked bootloader requires a custom kernel to work. Using MiniCM9 will need the nAa-ICS kernel or it will not work.
The only option you have is to use a ROM for stock kernel as base, in which case you're restricted to using no higher than Gingerbread. But I'm guessing the ROM you're trying to port is an ICS ROM and in that case, it won't do you any good.

I think your base-rom would have to be compiled from source against the stock-kernel in order to make it work, which requires a huge amount of work.
I don't think you can make it work by just modding or changing libs, that usually only leads to bootloops.
And apart from that, i doubt the stock-kernel is performant enough to give a reasonable user-experience for ICS or JB Roms.
