ok, so ive had a good thorough search for the answer but to no avail,so hopefully someone can help!
have an xperia mini running cm10 fxp135. runs really well on stock kernel but unfortunately the governors on the stock fxp kernel are limited. ( no smartass etc)
Im actually specifically looking at the rage kernel 3.2 which i have installed and works perfectly apart from the wifi is "greyed out", so effectively no wifi.
Any ideas or fixes for the wifi would be greatly appreciated. For now though, i will be going back to the fxp kernel as there really is nothing wrong with it, just want a few more tweaks that are available in the rage one!
thanks!
There is a WiFi fix in the thread... Or do you search a specific for jellybean? (There are wifi-modules-signed-zip, for flashing via cwm I think, but Do a Backup before!)

hi,
thanks for the quick reply!
yes, ideally i am wanting a specific kernel for jellybean (other than the FXP kernel included in the rom package for cm10)
the FXP one is perfectly fine, but it would just be nice to have a few more govenors etc!
i know theres a guy who has compiled an extended jellybean kernel for the mini pro, but not for the mini unfortunately.
in terms of the rage kernel, thanks for pointing out the wifi modules! completely overlooked them! i know i have some random modules on my sd card,but cant remember where they are from!! ha!
will flash the kernel (which is really meant for CM9, but seems ok) and modules tomorrow! hopefully if all works well i wont need a specific jellybean kernel after all!
cheers for the help(clicked the thanks) and if you know of an extended xperia mini kernel then point it my way!

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.
Looks at the amount of roms with fixed EGL adreno 200 lib's for x10 xperia.
"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!

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).

Ive tried all those and a bunch more, this is definitely one the best I ever used, I do have 1 or 2 minor bugs but I workaround them.
Which is the best one with everything working and stable?

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.
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?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1089470
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
Hi all,
I am using Vasishta's ICS ROM and I am in search of a kernel that includes both Wifi and SmartassV2. Reason for wanting SmartassV2 is because of it's smoothness and batterylife. But I can't find a kernel that's capable of both. These are my search&test results:
FXP 132/FXP133Only interactive of on demand govenors
Wifi is fine.kCernel v3 (I tried this kernel with and without Wifi modules)Lots of governors!
No wifi.Fera 1.8 (good changelog on his tread!)SmartassV2 is there!
No wifi.AOKP (Championswimmer released this one specifically to test a wifi fixIt has 4 governors, including SmartassV2.
No wifi.
A bit strange, because on Champ's AOKP i got wifi working with 'm6'-ROM.
Reading up on this thread i think the missing Wifi has something to to with 'just' a wrong wifi module (ar600 vs. ???).
Maybe I am overlooking something.
So my question is: Does anyone know a of a kernel that i can use?
If I need to do some tweaking to make a kernel work (eg. use other Wifi modules), than please guide me in the right direction. I am not expierenced in compling, but changing files, permissions, etc. is no problem. My guess is that Fera's kernel or Champs kernel can be modifed to accomplish what i want.

Hi there friend, first of all why do you want the smartassv2 governor?, xperia s ics is based on cm9 and you have to use the fxp132 kernel, kernel is made by fxp team and it suits the rom well, you dont need smartassv2 governor in order to have a great rom. trust me!, these developers (FXP) does exactly know what they are doing.. press thanks button if i helped you. cheers!! :good:
take note, there is kernel kitchen made by championswimmer if you want to modify some kernels and make that governor added in your custom ics kernel.. have a good day friend!

Thank you Kaito_Kuroba and my apologies for my late reaction.
I found answers and i notice there is still al lot of developemen going on.
I've no doubt that there are good kernels. nonetheless, You said it wisely that FXP know what they are doing. I haven't got those skills, so why would i question their choices and want something else.
Thanks for this 'reminder'.
Too bad i can't make time to create this hobby. I've got the right education to do development, programmaing and so on.
My familylife and work doesn't give me enough time to be working in this hobby.
Best regards,
UltimateGeppie
here is a good kernel:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867817
for wifi. you should do a fullwipe....
These are without question the absolute best CM9 kernels available:
For basically stock speeds - http://www.mediafire.com/?7waaqnrui676onj
For overclock to 1.228 GHz - http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?yi0enn6sjxww3pd
Both have Smartass v2 and WiFi working perfectly. And everything; connections,WiFi, deep sleep just plain functions well.The first is faster per clock cycle but still can't match the performance gain of the extra 200 MHz available in the second.
Thank you all guys!
I am aware of Amin his kernels. I started the thread about two months ago. At that time there wasn't a kernel that was capable of both wishes.
Since then a lot has happened and been developed.
My question is answered and no longer relevant.
Thank you all. Thread can be closed.

Hello guys! I'm having a strange issue with all ICS and JB roms (stock or custom, doesn't matter, same problem):
- I can browse, and while I'm browsing with the default browser, the wifi works really well.
Let me show and example:
If I open an app like TuneIn Radio, I can only hear the station while I'm opening pages in the browser. If I just stop browsing, the connections seems to be lost. The same with Google Play, as long I'm browsing, it works like a charm and the downloads complete. Otherwise, the downloads get stuck.
I've never seem this kind of problem before, and other devices and the same device with GB roms works well.
Someone can help?

Don't forget to flash WiFi modules (ti-wlan_v3.zip) via CWM after flashing LuPus kernel. With MESA Hybrid v3.5 you don't have to do that because WiFi module is integrated in the kernel, but you have to flash the appropriate module according to ROM type (ICS->stock, CM9, CM10).

Hey guys, i'm running CM10 by M66B (421) the last release by him and i was wondering what's the most suitable kernel which i could use for it. I need performance (gaming) and battery life. I currently am on the stock nAa by M66B which was included in a zip and i thought if there is a more suitable kernel out there, i should try it. The only problem is that i don't have enough time to try all JB kernels at the moment (though i tried nAa 3.0.8 kernel 3) and it does have battery problems.
Another request is to how to get the maximum performance on CM10 M66B? What do you guys suggest should i try?
Thanks a lot,
Ishan
Everyone has different choices. What may seem good for one person, may not be suitable for the needs of the other. You can try reading the comments of diffent JB kernels to know about their performance. And xda dosen't allow comparing between roms/kernel.
