Hi, my name is Antony.
I have a new Xperia P (bought it 2 days ago) and want to tweak some things. I have tried until now
- Brains ROM
- Sliding kernel
- Unlocked my bootloader
But in this combination my device was overheating when in a call, so i decided to flash stock with root.
But now I want to try again a new rom and kernel, but I want opnions on the kernels and roms available, and I need to know how to disable OC in the available kernels. Sorry for my bad english, loving my new device =)
*PS: Not entirely noob, i had X10 3-4 years ago, and had Motorola Defy for a looong time
To disable oc in kernel
Use antutu cpu master

Hello community, this is my first post. I'm no complete noob. I 'm coming from the symbian s60v5 modding community. Now I own an xperia mini and would like to know if the cyanogen mod is stable and recommendable for it.
Btw: Is German supported by the cyanogen mod?
yesterday I test Cynogenmod 7 (CM7) and install it on Xperia Mini Pro but I got some problem such as:
> touchscreen not working
> bootloop (yes, I already clear the cache / data / system in CWF but still-)
so I will say 'no' because its still unstable
most of cyanogenmods have bugs. i have used it in my x10 mini pro. i'd no recomment it because xperia mini have 1ghz processor + 512 mb ram which run hvga screen. you dont need to overclock it. + androjd version is latest. so better stick with stock rom
Thank you. Maybe the Cyanogen 9 will be better. What about the FXP - Project? Any experiences with that? What mod are you using? Or do you use stock rom?
i m using stock and pretty satisfied with it.
FXP is also based on cyanogenmod.
We still have 3 newer firmwares from Sony (4.0.2.A.0.58 , .61 , .62 that not have yet been released worldwide. And in 3 months official Android 4 is coming. Why bother with unofficial ones? What are the benefits ?
On older X10 mini was logical because Sony didn't upgrade past android 2.1.

agreed
and also sony ericssons stock rom is best looking rom in my opinion
Maybe you are right. Sounds all pretty logic. Is it possible to OC the CPU? Is it dangerous?
(I think I need to mod something. I 'm addicted to that. Even Symbian was crap, I could do a lot of modding with it. It was easy and it was fun. I 'm unsure if I would be able to sit on stock and wait for ICS)
What about languages and keyboard that has always been a big problem in symbian modding. How is that here?

yes you can overclock but only in custom rom. thats not dangerous if you know the limits . but right now people are experiencing some problems with custom kernels like screen doesn't responds after flashing a custom kernel. so you better skip it for now.
dont know about what do you meant by keyboard and languages but that's never been a problem to me.
Hello people, i bought a Sony Live with Walkman, but my Provider locked the bootlader, so i can't unlock it... And i was thinking if is there any way or some module to OverClock the CPU.. 'cause i've been searching a lot and i found only Kernels that make possible to OC the phone.. maybe i missed some thread where the info i need is... soo sorry for my english i'm from Argentina!
Nope, you can only overclock with custom kernels, and for that you need to unlock your bootloader, sorry :/
Overclocking is entirely dependent on the kernel . In stock Sony kernel you are not allowed to go past 1 GHz but you can underclock in stock kernel to increase stand by if you aren't a heavy user . To overclock it's always possible with a custom kernel but again nobody will advise you to overclock because it'll probably reduce your CPU's life , I've even seen people entirely busting their CPU by overclocking without prior knowledge. So be careful . You need a custom kernel with overclock support, to install a custom kernel you need a unlocked bootloader.
hit thanks if I've helped!

The pros vs cons in OC the cpu on a mobile phone are an depreciable increase of performance vs an shorter cpu life, I used to use my older x10mini pro with OC all in all the general user experience doesn't improve so much to risk the life of the phone.
Hey, sup guys! I'm about to buy a LWW because my good ol' X8 was stolen a few days ago
so, I have a lot of questions about this device...
- General overclock limit
- Max. amount of ram with custom kernel
- Does the camera have zoom?
- Best Rom + Kernel combination (GB, ICS and JB)
Thanks guys

Hey,
- I think it is 2 ghz (with some type of kernels)
- I don't really know. I never tried to increase RAM for my LWW
- Of course it has
- I suggest to use only Stock ICS based rom's and mesa/panic kernel. I'm currently using Xperia Pureness ROM latest version with Panic kernel. But I think I will try Mesa kernel because (based on feedbacks) it gives good battery life.
- dont go over 1,6
- what do you mean?
- yes it does
- there is no such thing as best in android. you will have to find the one that suits you

- 1.6 ghz, don't overclock too much cause you can brick your device
- Kernel has nothing to do whith Ram ussage
-Yes it has
- It deppends on you. In my opinion GB roms are the best, but you should try all
There was a difference in my X8: Stock kernel can only manage 160mb of RAM and a custom kernel manages between 185 to 192mb (a recent JB kernel)
So, what's the max. amount of free ram that a custom kernel can get on a LWW?
Hey guys, so now as I tried like all CM9 ROMs for Xperia U (Locked bootloader) I wasn't satisfied because of numerous things: battery life, random restarting, and on the last rom it was the worst. Started bootlooping out of nowhere. All my app data was gone (well the last Titanium backup, which was like 3 weeks old).
Now I would like to ask you guys, which is the best Stock ROM for Xperia U?
I have tried Xperiance Lite 3.0 (Might try if it updates, but that developer seems to be in-active) and the new one RowROM which I rushed to download as I needed my phone back to life again (after I got bootlooped from CM9).
I need: Good battery life (2-3 days, similar to stock), good performance, cool looking like custom SystemUI, obviously toggles on Status Bar because I don't like installing Power Toggles as RAM on Xperia U is enormous issue. And that's the last thing - a lot of free RAM.
Help appreciated!
for me stock is 54, indian, or nother countryes, then you can modyfy it with zip files or etc
best rom threads arent allowed no matter they use stock as base or cm 9
for me i feel xperiance litev3 is good.... u can also try on by jatinrungta.... zexperience is the name is guess... .
best is to try them friend and find out urself
As stated, please just test and do your homework.

Hello friends,
never tried rooting any android as of yet, but my phone has gone painfully slow now forcing me to do something.
i would be grateful if i get a help/ recommendation is choosing the ROM.
I want a light, fast and stable ROM but don't want to scarifies any features ( e.g CM7-ZMOD CYANOGENMOD 7 says no tethering (both wifi/usb) )
my only usage are call/sms, occasionally taking picture, videos & playing some light games like candy crush.
im zeroing on ****FeraLab*** FeraKernel-JB-v4
update:- frealab, 720p video playback don't work and so as capture
please suggest me if in going in right direction is it advised to install JB ROM in X10 kepping the stability POV ?
Thanks in advance.
I wouldnt flash a jelly bean Rom, but if you did so it would also handle your tasks.
For all features I would recommend DiXperia 7 and finally you could use a gaming Rom as they have least stuff but best preformance. On jelly bean you could use xposed as well

Ditto @keenofhiphop.
I wouldn't flash/install any ROM other than GB.
There are many reasons to install a JB ROM, but mostly those looking to install a JB ROM on an XPERIA X10i never identify any real reason, they just think they need JB+
The best ROMs and Kernels for the XPERIA X10i are all GB based and to date I know of no ICS+ Kernel that supports 2D Hardware Acceleration for videos and etc. This may change if @FeraVolt and others are able to modify the Adreno 200 drivers to support 2D HW acc in ICS+
I too would look at a gaming ROM for the least system overheads.
There is the newly created GB FeraKernel v14.1 and FeraLab ROM v30.2 which I have tested and know to have a very responsive UI and good 720p 2D video playback.
I use DoomKernel v6 and @Tof37 X10S ROM (FeraLab based) with a heavily modified build.prop which provides a similar experience to FeraKernel v14.1
Having a Class6(or greater) microSD card and offload(I use Link2SD) as much as you can helps, as the X10i built in flash only has a read of ~6MB/sec and a write of ~3MB/s. Compare this to a SanDisk Extreme 64GB card which I ran for a while in my X10i which gives a 20MB/sec read and 13MB/sec write.
I'm currently using a SanDisk Ultra 64GB card which provides a good cost/performance ratio. 17MB/sec read, 7MB/sec write
thanks @Dr Goodvibes and @keenofhiphop for inputs.
I was thinking as JB is more polished and is newer i am thinking to go for JB if i flash.
but since HW playback & recording is not available i would probably look something else other then Feralab...
i have 1 doubt at this time... do we have to flash with the latest Kernel first & then the ROM ? is it possible to revert back to old kernel at later if i change rom ?
sorry for my noobish question but im flashing any android rom for first time

True, JB has many advances in performance, security and interface options/features.
However, hardware development/drivers for the XPERIA X10i stopped at GB 2.3.3
Many of the JB performance features do not translate into real performance gains for the XPERIA X10i due to hardware constraints.
Thus GPU HW acc and camera (which is bound to the GPU) suffer. Also WiFi is 802.11g, Bluetooth is v2.1 and etc so any JB ROMs have to be retro fitted to accommodate these services.
Many developers do an excellent job of building JB ROMS and Kernels for the X10i, but they do come with some caveats and these should be understood before one installs a JB ROM.
One good thing about the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10i is that it's a very good development platform and very robust and very hard to knowingly hard-brick the device. It can always be restored to a Sony Ericsson default firmware of GB 2.3.3 at any time, with a PC and a USB cable.
When you root the device you can install CWM recovery from flashtool and then using CWM Recovery to backup your system and thus provide a quick and easy way to restore a ROM even when you're not able to successfully boot Android, but still have access to CWM recovery.
If you can find an old version of flashtool circa v8, it has more features for the XPERIA X10i as newer version of flashtool don't have these services as newer phones have rightly become the focus of Flashtool now.
I would suggest FeraKernel v14.1 and FeraLab v30.2 ROM as the best first ROM, as there is currently a lot of development around this ROM/Kernel combination and thus you'll have tens of people to assist you if you have questions.
This doesn't have to be a long term commitment as you can always flash another ROM/Kernal at any time, but it does expose you to a better understand of flashing Kernel/ROMs and etc.
I would also suggest looking at unlocking your bootloader on your XPERIA X10 as this has no negative impact that I know of and also allows you to install a greater range of ROM/Kernels which rely on having an unlocked bootloader.

Thank you very much, @Dr Goodvibes, those are exactly the words boosted my confidence to go ahead & flash. and as you said once i finish a single flashing process successfully i would be more confident in future flashing,...
:good:
A word to the close: @Dr Goodvibes I totally agree to you, a found that in jb you could notice project butter and it worked really smooth but! it drains the battery a lot more than GB and there are several problems with hardware as mentioned with camera and gpu.
I think feravolt is one of the last Devs that really develop in the X10 but I could never really be stratified with his roms, as they look very mixed up from different mods. Which is off course a cosmetic thing but I didn't like it. I first flashed DiXperia 7 about two years ago and was totally happy with it, but as I am I was not stratified because flashing is fun I can say I flashed my X10 probably about 150 times, maybe more.
It was pure fun
Two months ago it finally gave up, it's on fetakernel and doesn't get flashed by Flashtool. (it was time for a new one)
However I hope you'll have a good time as I did and unlocking the bootloader only had advantages add is easy and offers you full customization.
And have a look into uot kitchen
It was the best about GB^^

flashed with v30.3 final & camera fix & latest kernel 15 beta one. ... great performance boost compared to stock !!
i failed to install XRecovery though but CWM is installed so i am fine i guess...
