Hey noob here.
Lots of.time I.see ppl saying this rom and that rom ....and lots of time I see ppl saying trip kernel or some feral kernel or something ...what's the difference?
Rooted x10i running stock 2.3.3

hi
i myself googled it (kernel) that is and what i found was something like this
the kernel itself is what controls all the processes, inputs (hardware and software inputs), controles the fysic and virtual memory etc etc.
and the rom itself (this is with out goggling could be wrong) is the software like compared to your pc it would be windows, linux, etc
hope ths helped had to translate so hope you understand!
Thanx ! ! But I still don't understand .... I mean can v be on the stock rom n hav a different kernel? Or can v hav a different rom on the stock kernel?

im pretty new to this myself and i've noticed there's so many different choices of roms and kernels out there so what i can tell you are the things i read and and have done/noticed so far.
first of yes i believe you can stay on stock and use another kernel (i actually went with CM7 Zmod first then changed kernels)
second ive seen most roms giving a link to a custom kernel aswell
custom kernel pros are somewhat explained in the following:
* i remember reading that the stock kernel kept on going even while its not needed
*so i installed the doomkernel V6 (CAUTION theres a difference between kernels for locked/unlocked bootloaders)
wich allowed me to set the cpu as i pleased (by another application wich i saw people using in videos etc. ''no frills CPU control'')
i did this before unlocking the bootloader and i noticed the difference in battery consumption aswell
theres so many different options in how to set the kernel that youre better of wiki'ing em . thats what i did and helped alot in understanding what it does.
sorry for all the info you didnt ask for but it might be usefull for later on ??
Yea definitely damn useful!!!!! So frm ur point, should I.change my kernel? Cuz I don't want to flash custom rom. Camera doesn't.work.best. and games don't seem to work properly on.this present stock.kernel of Sony ( srsly PES worked better on 2.1 !)

Oh and I also want to.overclock my device xD
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
im actually overclocking aswel but in moderation i suppose
theres one higher in Mhz wich i dont use because of the following.
1 im learning
2 scared
mainly because i saw this line
v06 (only for EXPERIENCED TESTERS) [OVERCLOCKED VERSION] {DEVICE MAY NOT BOOT} ( min/max: 128Mhz/1228Mhz )
and as youl see its not that different in Mhz as this one
v06-1113 [medium OVERCLOCK VERSION] ( min/max: 128Mhz/1113Mhz )
so its all out there but im pretty carefull on reading up first and then trying
ive pretty much got it all working on the first try
* CM7 Zmod
* unlocking the bootloader (meaning instead of loading stock kernel first, cancelling this, rebooting custom kernel it just goes straight to the last step (faster!))
*doomkernels V6 unlocked bootloader kernel
So I should unlock my bootloader n then change my kernel to.which ever u r on ( while being on stock 2.3.3 rom) n then overclock it ...logically n technically is what I'm saying is right?
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
while i was looking for this i also found that he submitted kernels for stock roms wich i didnt use so im not sure why tbh :s
i believe that the CM7 Zmod isnt an actual ''rom'' aswell but a port (whatever that means )
so that means im using the stock rom with this ''mod'' and the V6 kernel non stock rom and evrythings bin working fine for about 2 weeks now
rom = like windows xp software
kernell = using software to mod the motherboard so its compatible with the rom
So can I stay on stock rom n change my kernel?
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
whatever you use should be you're choice i suppose but what i did was .
get the kernel for the LOCKED bootloader first theres plenty of em out there.
dont forget the app youl need to control the cpu itself
ive seen posts of people refusing to unlock there bootloader mainly because you can mess up and brick (destroy) your phone
so whatever you do . dont unlock it untill some more exp. people explain what its all about.
im not sure so dont believe me on the following.
i believe it was something about unlocking it and doing a full wipe or such means youl do A FULL WIPE bye bye xrecovery and an endless bootloop
because xrecovery isnt or wasnt (fixed or not) build in the custom kernel
so untill then be safe theres plenty of roms/kernels etc to try with a locked bootloader so you'll wait 15 sec longer for the extra booting thats required
only reason i did it was to go straight to the custom kernel and to multi boot roms meaning i can try out other roms and still keep the one most stable for daily use.
What is perhaps the most prominent use for unlocking the booloader is that u can have your recovery built-in at kernel level (as is the case for pretty much every ulbl kernel), meaning u will always have recovery on ur phone
Sent from my Xperia X10 using XDA
That's it? For just having recovery u need to unlock bootloader?
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
no no hes saying ''at kernel lvl'' you even got recovery with your locked bootloader if im not mistaken ? (think you told me in some post)
so if i understand it it means even if doing full wipes etc youl always have xrecovery cause its build in on kernel lvl (so build in your custom kernel)
No I mean that if u flash to stock or anything usually u would break recovery but with ulbl it ALWAYS there. There are other reasons too (like extra schedulers and governor's for CPU)

Do any of u know how to increase 3g performance?
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
mean speed wise or signal strength ?

anyways this is what i found speed wise read it carefully seems you have to manually change some lines according to you're provider etc.

good luck!
Hey, I'm interested in this so I'm gonna jump in on the conversation.
I've read that with an unlocked bootloader, the recovery is built in at the kernel level, and from my limited knowledge I thought the kernel resides in the boot partition. Why wouldn't the recovery be in the recovery partition? Is their a recovery partition?
When I did a nandroid backup, I notice that it only backed up the sys, data and dalvik. Maybe theres no boot or recovery partition.... I'll eventually learn all the answers I need, I figured this was a good thread to ask some of these questions.
I really hav no idea ....I myself am.trying to pick points from here

As the title suggests, I recently tried all ICS kernels that I know and none of them booted to even the recovery screen before I got a WLOD. I really want to be on ICS so can someone please help?
I have tried all available ICS in this forum, but none of them seem to work properly or im flashing something wrong... So stick to GB for now and when you get a very stable kernel and ROM... flash that... as fas as i know Championswimmers AKOP port is almost done expect some data issues (thats what i red when i saw it last)... But if you decide to flash ICS, just amke sure you are using proper "Kernel"....
Happened the same to me with kcernel. What I did was flash a stock room with flashtool and then flash fxp-127 kernel, and that worked for me to instal remyICS.

Finally I was able to install ICS (tried both CM9 and Xperia S ICS) for both all you need is FXP kernel, currently I'm using FXP132 kernel and Xperia S ICS ROM...

Hello Guys I hope you can help me. I am really not experienced but this really beats me:
Today I tried to flash a new ROM (cosmicMIUI by cosmicdan), was before on Dixperia 8 Gaming and semc.debrand engine kernel.
So I flashed.the kernel in the Rom.thread (a modded ckernel) and the Rom out of it (clean install of course) but it did not boot. So I retried? still no boot. After.third try I flashed back semc debrand.engine kernel and tried to boot the MIUI and fresh install which did not work. I tried to flash stock 2.3.3 stock kernel, thank god flashing still works, but I could not update it via SEUS which stopped at ~20% and stuck with screen on when I tried to boot it ( all the time). I remembered that I just read about a ftf file containing android 1.6. So I am on Cupcake now .
Whatever in Order to root and.install a custom Rom I tried to update. It worked via pcCompanion. So i had official 2.3.3 and.thought great lets.root!
But couldnt root, neither via flashtool (stopped after trying to push something, «waiting 60 seconds to stop pushing» or similar.
Also SOC didnt do it. After a reboot I got the black screen again. So I flashed back Cupcake and decided.to ask for.help here.
So what did.I do wrong (I already installed the Rom succesfully this way)? What is broken? And what shall I do to get back?
I am still having a.backup of Dxiperia.8, so it should.be enough to boot a kernel, my bootloader.is not locked and it seems like.I could flash kernels (at.least.the Cupcake Package).
Best Greets and thanks in advance
could someone point me a tutorial how to creat .ftf files from a rom.zip and a kernel.ftf? would that work?
Greets
Hello I have a stock generic flashed now and all seems to work. Only problem is that i cant root anymorre, flashtool stops after 60 seconds of waiting to push theroot files and superoneclick doesnt seem to identify my device and asks if i am sure that it is on 2.0+
whats wrong and what can i do? of course i have usb debugging on
Greets
Did you try to flash some 2.1 generic official? I have one .ftf, version 2.0.A.0.504_Generic or 2.1.A.0.435_Generic (I have it in the same folder and don't know which one is "magical"). Everytime I had some problems, some big bricks that I feel it's incredible to fix, one of this ftf's helped me. If I good rememver it was .504, but check two of them (if you won't be able to find it anywhere just PM me for help ), it makes your phone preeeetyyyy cleeeaaaan, fix all kernel files and make impossible clean-up with system - maybe that's only my X10, but any other official .ftf help me when I had some problems. Maybe it's a FlashTool version, which is best for me. The version is 0.2.8.0 (Java version 1.6.0_24, OS Version 6.2). Cheers mate, reply back ASAP with some changes .
AW: cant root my x10 anymore
Uhm yes all i did was not clean i think... I will remove every crap and try again, if it doesnt help.i would like to try 2.1 - never had it before

You really should buddy - many .ftf, many ideas, and only this one FlashTool and this one generic system (one of that two, still don't remember, better try two of them ) always help me with most "normal" problems. Write back about success or not .

Tomorrow. Now still learning. Schools more important

Wow, well done, after you bumped 2 threads, not that last post was made more than a year ago, but that have absolutely no relations to your problem, you finally created your thread..
What is that kernel? I searched in dev sections and can't find any kernel with name fusion.
Also, stop and wait, you bumped your own thread after 15 minutes

wifi error
i don't know why but my wifi is not working its due to the fact i flashed a custom kernel with cwm recovery tool and it was a rooted kernel. I also rebooted several times but my wifi still says error. I looked for a stock kernel.sin flashed it the wifi is still not working so after flashing the kernel.sin i then tried a hard reset. Now my question if i reinstall 2.3.4 is that the only way il be able to get my wifi working again or isn't there a shorter method because im sure if i reinstall the phones firmware that should get my wifi working again any ideas ? by the way i havn't installed any custom rom i was about to but the wifi issue is a problem
solved on my own
