That's lame.
I remember that I could use CM7 ROMs in my old Xperia X8 with stock kernel. It was a stupid move trying to unlock the bootloader to change kernel, I just bricked my phone.
I have tried, but it has some problems (automatic light sensor doesn't work for me) and wifi drops signal sometimes. Stay @ fxp 9.0 :cyclops:

Yes, I did when I had my Xperia X8 alive. Check their section, they have a lot of ROMs based in CM7 Android 2.3.7 that work in stock kernel.The only neccesary things are root and CMW.
As I said, my big error was trying to unlock the bootloader just to use a ROM that needed a custom kernel, I don't know why I did it when other ROMs always worked fine, like GingerDX... I bricked my X8 forever, that's why I bought my Ray and I won't mess with the bootloader again.
I guess is due the different kernel architectures, or it's because SONY allowed to unlock bootloaders on the Xperia 2011 line, but it's very disappointing that most of the ROMs for Xperia Ray need unlocked bootloaders and customized kernels. That's why Hybrid 3.2, Superleggera and MIUI for locked bootloaders are a bless for us. @JJ Doctor, @arcatarc and @OatnezrA are true heroes :good:

Dont know mate, I got ray and neo v on my table ready to get out of sony stock and for some reason i just cant install it on them.
May be i will never by an another sony phone again :angel:
In last 12hrs i tried almost everything, flashed FXP129 CM9 no luck, tried to flash official cm9 rc1 same thing no damn luck.
this ray is booloader unlocked via s1tool, rooted and has cwm recovery but i still cant flash any rom on it. It's frustrating :silly:
dont use FXP129 kernel its a bad kernel . and when you flash rom did you flash the kernel ? because CM9 RC1 kernel is also a bad kernel . the best working kernel is FXP 128 and the FXP128 rom .

What if you try to re-lock your bootloader?
Is it worth it ? How much better are the costume ROMS ?

Thanks I'll wait for ICS.
in my opinion root is worthed to optimize stock ROM, delete some bloatware and get more free RAM
but custom rom is not stabilize yet, I prefer using stock ROM with some customization
Hi, I know the update 4.1.b.0.587 it's out, and I want to update my mini pro, but I'm stuck on .431 so anybody knows how can I update my SK17A because I tried with SEUS, and it says I already have the last update, PC companion say's the same thing, so if someone could help me that will be perfect..I have the mini pro SK17A not the SK17I
At the moment,4.1.b.0.587 is out only for Sk17i i guess.
Sk17a is till .431 as of now.
Have you seen someone using an sk17a with .587?

not really, but i dind't know that the sk17i was that different from the sk17a that's to bad, but i guess i should wait then
i guess i'm gonna forget about that update for know, so i have another question, and i hope someone could help me..as i have an stock rom, android 4.0.4, with stock kernel, compilation .431, no root, no unlocked bootloader, no nothing actually xD so my question is, my phone with ICS is a little slow, mostly on games, and i would like to know is what i need to do to solve that? i read on other threads that flashing a different kernel can fix that, it's that true? and besides, can i flash an custom kernel having an stock rom? how can i do that? i guess i need root on my phone first, i can do that, but i need to unlock the bootloader? that i don't want to do it
a stands for america!
And i is the international version!
That's what ive heard!
Idk what the differences are though

Yes custom rom/kernel will make ur phone smooth in every way. But for trying custom kernel u need boot loader unlocked.But u can try custom rom without unlocking boot loader if u have rooted :good:

Thanks! But i was talking about having stock rom with custom kernel, or do i need both for make it work better?..besides, the reason i haven't rooted my phone and unlocked the bootloader is becauses is to hard! XD i remember when i used to have a motorola milestone, you just need to install the app universal androot, or use superone click, and that's it, you have your phone rooted, but know it's to difficult, i have a galaxy nexus too, i recently root that one, and it wasn't easy either but i did it, but with this one, the xperia mini, it looks like having root and unlock the bootloader it's no for everyone
After rooting,when I'm on cyanogenmod9 on ics,I can overclock to 1.6 ghz too while gaming.no lag in using phone too.though my bootloader is unlocked. I would suggest you to root for a better experience!
Cheers.

U must unlock bootloader to use custom kernel even u use with stock rom.just unlock ur bootloader its not that tough.the easiest way to root after that just flash a custom kernel which is pre-rooted( like rage kernel & many) via flashtool.u will have root access

To flash custom kernel you need unlocked bootloader, but for flashing custom ROM you need root and/or unlocked bootloader. Mostly of the ROMs work on locked bootloader too but if you want to play games so much you should Install Pure AOSP/AOKP based ROM and if you want best experience with games you should also install custom kernel.

Hi
I was read the topic about rooting ICS firmware. It's very hard for me,but GB firmware look like easier for do it.
Can I downgrade my LWM to GB ,start rooting from it and install CWM and cutom ROM ICS base ??
Yes you can downgrade

You can downgrade, but maybe the custom rom won't boot. For an ics custom rom you need to be on ics first and for a gingerbread custom rom you need to be on gb!
The tutorial to root ics with the downgrade -> updgrade (local-prop, push-root-files) is easy, all steps are explained with screenshots. You could try it

Because of the different Kernels... I guess
Here is one good tutorial on how to root GB and then ICS
It's easy to follow
Good luck

Yes I guess, not sure if there's a big difference, but I think you can't flash an ics rom over stock gingerbread...

Not really. Only few ROMs that require it, most ROMs wipe the old ROM anyway, so it doesn't matter what you had earlier. As much as I have used custom ROMs, I didn't have problems install custom ICS on GB.

I had some bootloops because of this, and as I said, he should try it on gingerbread and if it works it is great and if it won't work he can try to update to ics and install it again
Thread moved. Please post your questions here in Q&A in future.
Thanks

Firstly use the SEARCH bar and to answer your question, since your bl is unlocked so no need to root it just install any pre-rooted kernel with built in recovery and then flash any rom compatible with the kernel Best of luck
Best Regards,
AJ
if your bootloader is unlocked then just pick any kernel from LWW thread , be sure about kernel ( ICS,GB,or JB) , mostly every kernel have CWM recovery, and now you can install custom roms

I'm sorry but such type of questions are discouraged in XDA as they compare the works of such great devs which is an insult to the. Try each since kernels are not of very big size and hope u can get the best one for you
