Hi everybody,
My phone becomes slow and I would like to reset it completely. I would like to know how to reset it to 16/16 go (less the rom of course).
I take this opportunity to ask you what is the best ROM at the moment for the xperia z2 and the best kernel, I also think root the phone if it can help you choose the rom / kernel.
EliteKernel /w eXistenZ MM.
The best combination atm...
Existenz Rom for sure
DK about the kernel.
Thank you for the answers, but do you know how to reset totally the phone before install the new rom ?

Okay. then, do this.
Choose any ROM you like.
Flash via Flashtools base firmware(If you choose a GB rom then Flash any Gingerbread Stock Firmware, if you choose an ICS then flash any ICS Stock Firm..)
Flash any compatible kernel
Turn your phone on and enter cwm Recovery
Flash te ROM and do all wipes that ROM requires(its on OP of the ROM you 've selected)
Reboot and hope it works well!
Hope this can solve your problem

FYI : if you already unlock the bootloader, you don't have to root it anymore....just flash any custom kernel into your phone...all custom kernel is pre-rooted and have CWM be default....
flash any custom kernel first, then you can install any custom roms or official roms with losing your root....

Dude what do u mean by oc upto 1GHz. Our phones default frequency is 1GHz and its not called oc and btw oc upto 1.4GHz is safe(though I don't recommend oc at all).

Hey guys, I'm sorry if I made a mistake making this topic here. In case I didn't, help me please.
In last couple of days I'm trying to find the best custom ROM for my X10 mini. The problem is that I CANNON unlock my bootloader so every ROM which requires it is out. I couldn't find anything really good, so If you know any please share it with me, thanks

This should be in the Q&A section, and what is really good really depends on what you want from your phone. Not sure if you couldn't find anything, or didn't like what you did find...
Well, as I said, I want the best one, faster, less bugs, etc... As there is GingerDx v31 for x8, it's pretty good
Bump

No he doesn't, not for just a custom ROM anyway, and he already said he can't unlock his bootloader.
Start with this one, it's the last MiniCM7 by nAa which ran on stock kernel, based on Gingerbread 2.3.5.

Get this (ClockWorkMod) and put it on your sd-card
Put the ROM on your sd-card too
Get flashtool (It's in the first post in the x10mini dev section)
Install it
If you do NOT have Sony Update Service or PC Companion then:
Install flashtool-drivers from the drivers subfolder and choose E10i Xperia X10Mini
Press the Padlock button in flashtool, this will root your phone
Press the Swiss flag (Plus) button in flashtool, this will install xRecovery
Choose Tools - Reboot - Recovery - Reboot default recovery
On your phone: Choose 'Install zip from sd-card' - Choose custom zip
Select CWM-recovery-3.2.0.0-r3-x10mini-Amend.zip
Select yes
Reboot your phone and press the back-button repeatedly just before and when the sony ericsson logo appears.
Choose backup and restore - backup (This will back up your current system and data so you can get it back later should you want to)
Choose Install zip from sd-card - Choose custom zip
Select MiniCM7-2.0.7.zip
Select yes
Do: Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
In the advanced submenu: Wipe Dalvik-cache
Reboot the phone and enjoy your new ROM
(You will have lost all your user-data so maybe it's a good idea to back up at least your contact-list to sd-card, which can be done when you enter the contacts app and press the menu-button, it will create a file on your sd-card that you can import again later.)

Oh.. and I think you need to find Google Apps for Gingerbread too if you want the play-store, flash them the way you flash the ROM,
Okay, I'll do it tomorrow. Thank you a lot for your help.

There is actually a custom ROM that does not require a unlocked bootloader, it runs with stock kernel. It is called MiniCM7Pro by BPaul. Google it.

A good kernel, like any other software, is a kernel that works, if it doesn't it's not so good.
Have you followed the instructions how to install it, wiping dalvik cache or such?
EDIT: BTW do you have the ftf file for the formware you are using? The kernel is there you can flash it with flashtool no wipes and excluding all other packages.

As you can see by my signature I have Xperia P so I know nothing about Sola custom kernel.
I have tried many custom kernels for my phone and came to the conclusion it's not worth messing with, I am very happy with stock kernel.

Hi,
I have used this rom for almost a day now. There are no bugs whatsoever. It is really stable. Didn't notice any battery drains either. best suitable for a daily driver.
About, the bootloop issue, try to reflash the rom again according to the instructions in the Rom Thread.
Wipe data, Wipe cache, Wipe dalvik, Format System and flash rom. Don't flash any patches provided in the thread. Since the rom is pre-rooted, i dont think you need to flash the stock rom using SP flash tools and then flash this rom.
P.S.: I used TWRP recovery to flash this. Not CWM. Try flashing the ROM using TWRP.
Cheers!

You know how to install twrp in rooting process ryt?
Download OTA update manually through their site.
Flash it through twrp then wipe cache/dalvik only.
Oh and twrp/rooting will be gone after updating so you have to install them again.
Would you suggest me flashing lineage rom , do you think is better than miui stock regarding battery and performances ?
