Hi there.i Got sick of those bugs 24/7...I've downloaded like 5-6 roms.Started last year from some froyo rom which was one of the best.Then decided to update and now i am back to stock cuz that 2.3 is rly annoying...Got loop bugs while listening to music and also crashing apps when they've been moved to my sd card.So can u suggest me a stable rom.
I am with stock kernel and i don't want to update to custom.

That could be a problem. You´ll need a custom kernal for a good performance.
A custom kernel is especially build for GB and yours is for eclaire and current roms which are verry smooth work just with custom kernal.
That's bad tommorow i will try to unlock it Though i still dunno how to.Those tutorials are so bad(no offence )
Edit:Can someone give me tutorial in which links are actually working ?

no problem mate, lol tbh honest wiv u there is a few out there so best thing to do is to see which one u like best, i mean theres ones there which are custom 2.3.3 where the devs have optimized and enhanced the stock rom so it runs better, and the advantage of stock is stability, a lot of people go for this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192988 and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192326 but theres other ones too but as i sed experiment and see which u find most usable
Thanks again, will check out Wolf's first but before that need to root my phone... my first time so a bit nervous lol

Hi everyone!
I'm tired using custom roms for their instability and fc's everywhere for over a year I didnt found Rom that works perfect all the time with many apps installed so I just want to my phone work, dont want to flash new system every month again.
I was running stock with deleted apps, Set Cpu (tnx to gregbradley (edit: that was neoxx3m very good advidce, sorry my bad) and z-kernel for about 4 months and I was happy, that was one and only Rom that i've used so long. Yes it wasnt so fast but it was very stable and everything works so nice not even one fc. (kindda wierd couse ive installed z-kerner on my Unlocked BL x10 and now I can't and dont wanna to play and relock)
So i wanna repair my phone and get back to stock, root it, delete all uneeded apps and flash the most stable kernel so will it be failsafe from doom right?
And the question is will my plan work? I know that phone will not be so fast but will everything work and this is all I need or maybe someone has better idea?
Also have some questions about the newest fw for this Doom UB kernel. Where do i get this newest se fw?
Any help will be very appriciated.
Restore the phone back to stock using SEUS. That should do the trick

Last few ROMS Ive installed from scratch. So repair, root, etc I've even format sd card everythime i flash new rom. The question is:
Will doomkernel work on stock rom repaired in pc companion?
Will it be stable?
DoomKernel is stable on stock unlocked BL, but u have few version. X, S and one more i think. Look at his thread an try it.
Sent from my "z10i"
Have to try but Doom writes thet this kernel is for NEWEST SE FIRMWARE, will it work on stock just repaired in pc companion?
Someone made the topic that He was tring to flash this newest firmware (3.x.x.x) and ended with no boot and anything could help him
I was running stock with deleted apps, Set Cpu (tnx to gregbradley advidce) (...) and I was happy,

It will work because when u repair ur phone via PCC u get latest firmware (2.3.3/3.x.x.x.x.x), but my advice is to try relock BL and use zKernel, i did that yesterday and i'm happy again!
Sent from my "z10i"
I told you that dont wanna play with bootloader no more, maybe for some time i would like to try some kernel or rom (if im not happy for using stock and doom) and will have to unlock again so im patience (tring to) and will not to this for a while.
Anyway strange is that i flash zKernel even if i had unlocked Bootloader and it work fine but when i tried to do this again ( didnt know that this kernel is fo Locked only) it didnt work
Is it possible to make a pre rooted ICS ROM?
What files a need and their places?
I have a XMP, i tryed rooting by flashing the 4.0.3 kernel but the device just bootloop, then,
i tryed by flashing GB...58 then rooting and then upgrading to ICS and IT Worked, but by this method the battery seens to drain faster :S... i dont know!!
So tryed lots of things to fix but... nothn!! so thats why i want to make a pre rooted ROM.
make things clean

Dude your signature says locked bootloader, it's normal it bootloops if you tried flashing kernel like this...

I tried to see a way to make a FlashTool installable pre-rooted rom, but seems like there's no way
As of now, i'm trying to make a pre-rooted custom rom for LWW, and Android Kitchen allows the creation of one. This, of course, will be a .zip file which has to be installed from CWM, so i'll still need to do all the steps you did to get CWM, so, as far as i know, we're stuck into rooting the long way

He flashed stock kernels... there's no problem with that even on locked bootloaders.

please please :highfive:
From history you should know that Italians never start wars, we always wait for others to start, jump in after a while so we know which side has most chances of winning and eventually switch sides at the end

I'm on my way to create a clean ics rom PRE-ROOTED, i just don't have enough time, if you would like to give me a hand i will apreciate that.
In the mean time just root your phone the long way, update to 4.0.4 an then install CWM Recovery and finally install this ROM, is the one i'm using right now and run really smooth, and it's pre rooted.
If you need help with any of those steps pm me.
Hey mates.
The thing is: In my phone all roms running under kernel naa-14 suffer from random shut downs or from loss of signal once in a while, it doesn't happen many times but when it happens it's not good "example: you don't wanna sleep with your alarm not waking you because your phone is turned off, right?" xD.
So i was wondering: do you guys know another kernel for the most recent gb roms instead of kernel naa-14?, or if there is a rom that doesn't suffer from this shut downs/lost signal on this naa-14 kernel?.
Ps: Don't say something like: reinstall rom, go back to 2.1 and then install rom again, etc... i already did all of that.
Thanks

hey mate, I have some suggestion for you, firstly you can flash your mini with SEUS(Sony Ericsson Update Service) not with flashtool, so after you flashed with SEUS you will need to start over again for unlock BL and flashing custom ROMS or Kernels, :victory:

Mate...i think you didn't see my "Ps" xD, in my Ps i say: i already did the Go back to Stock 2.1 and reinstall everything after "kernel+rom" many many times, it doesn't work. The roms work great but one day or another it remembers to shut down or loose signal :S xD. I don't know if it is the kernel or the rom that causes this, any suggestion?

Hey...you r senior than me...but according to me your problem seems to be kernel problem as every GB rom experiences random shutdowns in your case...maybe u can try redownloading the .ftf file of kernel and then flash it again....all d best mate:good:

Yes it is more likely a kernel problem, and that's why i wanted to know if there is another kernel without this problems. I flashed this naa-kernel 14 on my computer and on my portable computer in different times, but the result is always the same because sooner or later the phone will shut down or loose signal out of nowhere. I thought about flashing a rom with stock kernel but the roms available for stock kernel all have some bugs :S.
Ps: do you think there is much difference between this phone and Sony Live With Walkman in terms of audio quality/loudness and camera?, i am tented to buy that phone and all my problems would be solved for good as i need a stable phone when i get a job xD.

Did u try the rom MiniCM7pro v21 for stock kernel....?? it is much more stable for daily use...n cant say anything about any other kernel bcoz most of GB roms run on nAa14 kernel only...so i think u should try MiniCM7pro v 21 on stock kernel...:good:

it was the first rom ever that i tried, i don't remember now if it was good or not, but is this rom really more stable to use than the most recent gb roms that run on naa-14 kernel?. And does it have all the fixes "battery, camera quality, etc" that were made till now?.
I made a new thread, asking how i can port recent gb roms to work on Stock kernel, maybe it's better this way if possible.
locked you bootloader 1st.

Yes i have tried MiniCM7pro v21 and it worked fine for me..battery backup,camera quality,sound everything worked fine....try it....
Hi every1, I have an xu and it's been a while since i flashed it to 2.3.7 (Build .184) and now it's working kinda slow... also I wanna go back to ics for many reasons.. I was pretty sure that now i could just update my phone to ics using pcc but both, PCC and US tell me that I already have the latest android version for my device...
So my question is- how can I flash back to ics? which ics build is the best in ur opinion(most importantly smooth!!)? and how can I root my phone with that version? (cuz i know that last time i tried rooting .54 with Binary's root method it didn't work for me)
Can any1 please help me answer these questions? and add good guidelines, I'm a nub when it comes to this
Thanks in advance!!

The only Sony ICS I've used was .54, and to root it the hard way (that is, without BL unlock) you must replace the kernel with the one from .10
I'm also a very satisfied GB user, but trying AOSP 4.1.2 now

But .54 was very slow... e.g. camera takes 3-4 sec to capture, plus had many bugs and didnt work smoothly...
some1 suggested that i install .84 but idk if it's better than gb and if it's rootable..

2- Yes, you still use the .10 kernel + flashtool root + reinstall stock kernel
1- You inspired me to try a home slimmed .100, but my opinion says it'll be worse than GB .188
should use pre rooted kernel, as the kernel Sliding ICS.
already root and cwm :good:
