Just wanna ask...
Can i have dual-boot Android ROM (GB and ICS) on my rooted and locked BL LWW???
fyi : boot manager application is not supported for my phone
since ICS is bit buggy on playing games, so i can switch between GB and ICS just in a single reboot..
thanx...

Repost.!!
I think u will have ROM space problem...
Mean to say installing both (if possible)will leave you with very less user memory available and as a result your phone may slow down....

Read this.
Yes you can, but it won't provide you some features like USB storage. Furthermore, you'll be confined to CM7 only (for the GB-based ROM) and possibly other ICS--based ROMs too. But you say Boot Manager is not compatible, so long story short, no!
Furthermore, you'll need to unlock your bootloader. CM9 gives almost a comparable performance as CM7 on my LWW.
Simple way, make 2 different nandroid backup with 2 different ROMs that support same kernel.

Hey there,
currently I have Android 2.3.3 OEM on my xperia x10i.
So do I just need to root my phone and change the android version in the .txt file, or do I have to flash an custom rom to play these games?
And would the games work if I flash Wolfs TW Gingerbread Rom?
Im not being sure because Wolfs Gingerbread also has 2.3.3 Android version.
What would you recommend?
So long,
brokethalaw
A big big big maybe on Cyanogenmod 9. the gpu is simply too weak for anything
Sent from my Cyanogenmod powered X10i at 1.152 Ghz
Yeah, I recommend FeraLab ROM, it's much faster than Wolfs GB also for gaming, & yes you'll need to edit "build.prop" (located in /system/[here]) & change the line "ro.product.model=X10/anything else" to "ro.product.model=Desire HD" Then reboot, & you're done.
Good luck
Alright thanks, one question left.
Do I have now to update to the Stock Rom now, or is my phone now ready 2 flash FeraLabs Rom?

If you aren't on 2.3 stock rom (from sony) now, then yes..
Oh and just want to say that it's recommended (but, not needed) to unlock bootloader before flashing FeraLab
Your phone is ready if
- You're rooted
- xRecovery installed
.. Take a look at the original thread

Requipments for Installation:

1.Gb is more stable than ics,and gaming etc is better on gb
2.the latest gingebread version for our phones is 2.3.4
3.Rooting shouldnt be a problem,there are a lot of tools in development section
4.If you want ics custom rom try real ics r5.2 it was the best for me, when you want gingerbread try my rom (signaature)hasa rom by sandy07,or nerodroid
Note:To install custom roms you will have to unlock your bootloader and flash kernel manually (This will void garanty,i think in samsung the kernel flashes automaticly in CWM) But there are also custom roms that can be installed on locked bootloader my rom,hasa gb,real ics etc
Hope i helped you

ohh so i can't install custom rom yet if my phone is still under warranty not like in samsung they said it will only void the warranty once you open your phone aka hardware.
is the real ics r5.2 is stable and its like an official ICS?
mind telling me what are the issues of ICS on xperia ray.

You can install a custom Rom,just unlock bootloader wich will void guarantee but you can also relock it and you can use Roms that work on locked bootloader,Real Ics is a very great Rom,its stable and much faster than stock Rom,
Only issues i think are the LED when you receive sms or missed a Call they dont work

I'll try to answer it, hope can help you
1. GB is more stable, more efficient on battery, good for gaming.. but it's ok too if you want to upgrade it to ICS, actually it's stable and good though GB is a bit better.. if you want more rocks on ICS then do some tweaks or use Custom kernel and ROM
Issues just lag on your phone but it just a little bit and if you try to use phone like a monster device(?)
2. Latest GB from Google is 2.3.7, but on Ray (Official Sony) 2.3.4
3. No .. there too many ways and awsome people will break up the shadow!
4. The Best ROM.. everyone have different experience for use their phone and CusROM also offer different advantages, so it's all back to you again..
Tips from me , if u want use CusROM for daily use then choose ROM wif minimal bugs or NO BUG..
That's from me, thanks

i see GB is way better than ICS. i searched on the net about ics issue on ray and this is what i've found from aug 7-9 >http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/261582#261582 http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/262223#262223 http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/262337#262337 http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/263034#263034 im afraid to tweak even i want but i dont want to waste another money.
if i upgrade to latest ICS can i still get back to latest GB?
no? you mean its not easy to root?

as of my experience:
1. Yes ics is really brilliant but and has a smoother web broeser than gb. however its main issues are you just cant play some games on it as well as its a real pain for hd graphical games to play , might cause serious lags fcs in games. for such reasons i rolled back to gb.
2.ics can handle certain things faster than gb but as we know Xperia 2011 series are now classified as low range phones.because they've got single core 1 ghz with 210/512 mb ram which is only meant for gb only.
rooting is not a big issue once you've rooted ur phone the rest is like a butter. latest official rom is 2.3.4
3 for thhe custom rom 2.3.7 is best.
4. you'd better buy Galaxy Ace2( Dual core processor .and 750 mb of ram space its a good device for ics and gaming (which sported by mali gpu 400.:good:

yah i know its easy but i dont wan to make mistake again like what i did on my galaxy mini plus that lead to hard-bricked.
btw where can i download official ICS? because i read on the net that clean install of ICS is recommended the problem on ICS is lesser than upgrading to ICS.
btw how do i clean install official ics? just preparing all i need to do when i bought the phone.

so thats how to clean install official ICS. thanks ill copy paste that instruction in notepad.
ill do those instruction when i have the phone.
I have rootet ray 2.3.4
4 navigator programs,and 45 other aplication and games and 8gb class2 microSD.
190-200mb free rom.The mobile is amazing fast
Why i need a kernel(many have problems) or not stock rom?
Why indeed
Sent from my ST18i using xda app-developers app
The question makes little to no sense, but I will try to answer your question, A kernel is needed for every Operating System, it is what connects the hardware to the software, and is specific to each device, Custom Kernels are kernel's developed by custom developers and as a result they may have some issues.
A stock rom is what comes with the phone when you buy it, a customized version of android in it's own right, which is official in sony's eyes, which comes with it's own official kernel, which may also come with some issues.
His question was "what reason do I have to switch to a custom rom (and kernel)?"
One answer is because you're running an outdated OS.
Another is to fix issues the stock version may have.
And another is for extra features not included in the stock rom.

I dont think so. I think he asks why should we change kernel although with the stock kernel, phone still fast.
Well, with stock kernel you have a limit. You can not overclock, undervolt, and some other actions which can make your fast android phone becomes smarter and faster.
Correct me if I am wrong.
P.S. if you are using GB, it is better to try to install Aire's kernel. And you can answer your own question.

we can
overclocking, jellybean, nicer visuals (come on, gb is fugly compared to ics or jb), speed (jb is much faster/smoother than ics, no matter what ics-rom you use)

anyone can make a custom rom and stock kernel (Android 4.++) for x8 ?? For the X8 user which cant unlock bootloader
nothing will function properly. plus it will be laggy as hell. stock kernel has very little RAM (about 165MB) but custom kernels can provide up to 185MB of RAM. hope you get what i mean.

oo... thank you ...im newbie I dunno it... so every android 4.++ Rom is only for phone that can unlock bootloader only???
Hi every1, I have an xu and it's been a while since i flashed it to 2.3.7 (Build .184) and now it's working kinda slow... also I wanna go back to ics for many reasons.. I was pretty sure that now i could just update my phone to ics using pcc but both, PCC and US tell me that I already have the latest android version for my device...
So my question is- how can I flash back to ics? which ics build is the best in ur opinion(most importantly smooth!!)? and how can I root my phone with that version? (cuz i know that last time i tried rooting .54 with Binary's root method it didn't work for me)
Can any1 please help me answer these questions? and add good guidelines, I'm a nub when it comes to this
Thanks in advance!!

The only Sony ICS I've used was .54, and to root it the hard way (that is, without BL unlock) you must replace the kernel with the one from .10
I'm also a very satisfied GB user, but trying AOSP 4.1.2 now

But .54 was very slow... e.g. camera takes 3-4 sec to capture, plus had many bugs and didnt work smoothly...
some1 suggested that i install .84 but idk if it's better than gb and if it's rootable..

2- Yes, you still use the .10 kernel + flashtool root + reinstall stock kernel
1- You inspired me to try a home slimmed .100, but my opinion says it'll be worse than GB .188
should use pre rooted kernel, as the kernel Sliding ICS.
already root and cwm :good:
