New custom kernel advice - XPERIA X10 General

Hey guys I know everyone is excited about the new kernel and I was especially as I wanted to be the first to try it. It is wonderful and the phone just runs great. But my advice is to wait until it supports more basebands and offers more features. As soon as 16000000 colors is enabled I'm jumping on that kernel. But as for the one right now its not necessary and it is the first release so you can chill until the next one comes. Don't stress yourself trying to get this one. (But it's really not a hassle though).

Hmmmmmmm ok?

The kernel Z released was really just a test. He created it just to see if he could load it. That kernel will never be fully developed and will never support any other basebands. Sure flashing that kernel might make your 2.1 ROM faster but if your on any 2.2+ ROM flashing back will make you lose the functionalities of Flash Player & App2sd and any thing that doesn't work will never be fixed. Unless you only want to use stock FW and want a little better performance it is best just to wait for a custom kernel that's built for froyo or gingerbread and is actually supported by the developer.

Exactly. Just my point. Its great to see that it can load but its better to wait till something comes out that will always be supported or something. Or like cm said just wait for one on froyo. Froyo is much better than eclair.

Will we make it?

Bin4ry quitted the forums although he wanted to crack the Bootloader but do you think we will make it whitout him? I feel like no but we will see
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
The developers here did enough without opening the bootloader, so my guess is everything is fine here ( most ROMs here are completed with camera fix ) what more do you want?
And quitted is not the word, he just went into another project.. another challenge
I think we should start another thread about whether to start another thread about this topic
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
for 2.2 froyo roms, they are basically completed
for 2.3 gingerbread ones, we just have to wait for the gingerbread update (official) so we can use the kernal and drivers available to make them stable.
I don't think our devices will make it to ice cream though..

I think Z,J and all great devs are able to port it... when it's released ^^
Sent from my X10 using XDA Premium App
Mj what you said is true most roms are complete but there is still more things we can do for example 16 millions color thingy and the device is locked to 32 fps and i'd love to overclock my device and for some people facing the low in call volume issue a fix and all these would be done by unlocking the Bootloader.

i heard if someone updates to the new and official 2.3 it wil make it even harder to crack the bootloader me personaly i wont update to 2.3 beacause i can use other better roms such as cm7 and arc rom

That's the first I've heard of anything bootloader related to SE's 2.3.3. It might be possible to infer that but otherwise nothing is publicly known. *Maybe* rooting it might be more difficult.
2.3 kernel + CM7 mod >> 2.1 kernel + CM7 Mod
Just IMO (might be different but we won't know until July)
I think we should aware something:
1)Bin4ry doesn't crack the bootloader cause the cracking is...hell
What Tue devs do is to crash the normal booting procredures in order to run our custom kernel(the kexec method)
2)I still blieve that we can soon run custom kernel for daily use
Z is trying his best to do that,he had got the radio,overclockint etc,this will be released once the kernel is ready.
The leaving of Bin4ry is a kind of lost,but it doesn't mean it wont be possible to develop the custom kernel
Cheers,

Bin4ry is a beast, but don't forget about the other devs!! And Bin4ry says hes gonna stay if we donate $200 to him.
Lol hes gonna get more then that if he actually manage out that custom kernel! And this is sad he wants money for his work like most devs but if he really asked it like this "pay me 200$ and i will stay" its eww!

just want to make that clear.
Yea I realized that I made him look bad, but Bin4ry actually feels uncomfortable with the situation
My bad I worded that badly
It have been cracked by z!!!!!!! Omfg no kidding i saw a comment in the cm7 rom thread where it said z have made it + there was link of the thread omg!!!!

Are you getting 2.3 gingerbread official?

Just a thought that was in my head. The new official gingerbread rom should be coming out in august so I was wondering who is going to upgrade or stay on their custom rom.
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
Im sure people will stay on custom roms knowing they dont have to deal with bloatware apps and other useless nonsense that SE provides. Saying this i believe many files will be pulled from the generic 2.3 to be used in the ROMs.
No. Will stay with froyo
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Yes, just to try it out. I use a Custom ROM but there are many things that are broken sometimes, not supported, or flat out not working. Once the official 2.3 is out I am sure those guys will make their own custom ROMs much better.
LOLwat? After all the *****ing SE received, people better upgrade, otherwise they'll send a hitman to off you.
gingerbread
I sure will upgrade to 2.3 official
Will update right away when SE releases it.
I will update to officiell 2.3 and stay there because then i have everything i want
Sent from my Sony Ericsson Xperia™ phone
Gonna try it. Might as well keep it, but I guess I'll be expecting XDA developers to make it even better with tweaks and stuff.
If FPS cap raised to 60 --> upgrade. If not, I'm sticking with Froyo.

gonna upgrade the first minute it's out and then, some weeks later when there are some good custom rom's gona change to one of them
I bought an Arc and gave my X10 to my son.
He's looking forward to the upgrade so we'll give it a shot and see what SE provides.
Yeah, you know it's okay, release Gingerbread when the Ice Cream Sandwich is right around the corner.
will give it a shot and try it for few hours... get bored, return to CM7 and wait for FreeXperia team to get camera fully working
I'll update once it's rooted

How long did Froyo development take?

Posting this because I'm curious as to how long it took for stable ROMs to be available for Froyo. I'm on SFR 1.2, it is my 1st and only ROM, which I got as soon as it came out. I wasn't there for the wait for development, and now that I am for Gingerbread, I'm wondering what's the "average wait time" for stable ROMs? If I had to use a direct example: since Froyo was made available, how long before SFR 1.2 showed up? It would give me a better sense of understanding the development in that aspect. It would also give me something to look forward to; to more or less "know" (or think I know - lol) when to expect the stable ROMs. I've been reading the development of LegendaryROM and ACS ICS and although tempting, I can't bring myself to installing these just yet. Nothing against the people working hard on them, but they are in Beta/WIP stage; and after months of great performance with SFR 1.2, I know I want THE final build
I'm also aware that it may vary; but still an idea of how long would be nice. I'd like to point out I'm not asking for specific ETAs; just wondering

You must be afraid to try something else? Maybe not skilled enough to bounce from creative rom to rom? What do you have to lose? I'm on ei22 thunderhawk and I can tell you this rom is stable, as all the other ei22's I've sampled. If you install correctly, you'll be fine. Its the overclocking that begins the issues.

I've flashed more ROMs on other friend's phones. I'm aware of the steps to take. Not really afraid, just no need to flash other stuff. And from what I've read, some people are having problems with either data, wifi, bluetooth, force closing apps, gps, hotspot, among other things, on the current EI22 ROMs. I'm aware these are happening because of the fact they were just recently released and are in beta. And as for overclocking, never had to do it. Phone is fast enough, and when I've tried before it always freezes it :3 And can you blame me for being hesitant? I depend too much on my phone, and even though most of those who decide to flash EI22 are enjoying its goodness, some have bugs. Bugs I can't afford to have :>

This ^^ I've managed to make every possible use out of my phone. Managing files for college work, gaming, videos, sharing and all that good stuff, along with less useful things. Somehow, with all the crap I've stacked on my phone, it all runs smoothly. I am enjoying this "balance" too much to flash another ROM at the moment.
Still curious about overall "time frame"

Personally I'm on Legendary Rom 3.3... no real issues, other than intermittent wifi problems. Exchange activesync email works, gmail works fine, no random reboots, etc. Give it a shot if you want.
As most dev's will say it is done when it is done. This is not their full time thing so I would guess it would be hard to put a timeline on it.
SRF1.2 took a bit of time before it got to where it is. I believe we may of had a few more people working on it back then too.

Ummm
Well the unethical way of update release by Samsung made us all confused.. If they would have released it like their prior updates all regions or more than one region then we might have upgraded our devices. But currently their is only one xxlpy Germany experimental release so I am not at all interested.
If you don't have a particular need to upgrade to ICS, then you should probably wait until it gets released locally, or you decide you have a need.
I personally won't be going back to GB, because I like the better external keyboard support (it recognises the CTRL and ALT keys) and also the USB midi support, both of which don't work in GB.
The UI tweaks and snappier response are good, but they're not going to let you don anything you can't do already.
If there's an app you want to use that is ICS only, then that might be a reason to upgrade too.
LPF (which I have found to be a lot better than LPY, in terms of UI speed and battery performance) is a wipe ROM though, so you need to spend a bit of time restoring everything.
If you wait for the OTA release, it might will hopefully not be a wipe ROM, which might make life easier for you.
HTH,
Rich
Hello,
Personally I've been on ICS for almost a month now and I love it, first midnote than Crisckelo (V2 and V3) but now I love the Kingdroid ROM the battery doesn't die and it looks even better with Apex launcher!!
I could not go back to gingerbread!! I haven't tried the stock ICS (LPY or LPF) but with their bloatware the battery would not suit me !!
I can confirm it reads arabic.perfectly. dunno abt japanese.....the rom is so far very stable nd better looking....pinkish display issue solved 90%.......sd card readng bug sometimes solved by unmountng then mountng.
Thanx guys for responding it means alot for me,,,,,

I personally have gone back to GB (rocket ROM) which in terms of battery and responsiveness is better than any ICS ROM I tried. Also there are apps that don't run well on ICS. I guess in a few months time when all official ICS ota's had been released and the developers have had time to tweak them then ICS will be better.

Say no to ICS for now
DOnt go to ICS as yet...wait for the eMMC thingi to be resolved first man!

FYI since I never saw that mentioned (especially NOT in Samsung ads, for both the S2 and the Note...)
GB = ONE core used, linux 2.6 non-SMP
ICS = ALL cores used, linux 3.0 SMP, but it enables the superbrick defect bug

Best rom guidance

Ok right now I'm using the matrix rom, and is real good on my t-mobile nexus s. The thing is that I know is pretty old and I kbow there are several newer more stable roms out there but wich one ia the best of all? I'm looking for the fastest but not just that but stable if that's not available what would be the fastest and still be super steady and bug free.

Try a few! I tell EVERYONE who asks this question the same thing...
THERE IS **NO** BEST ROM (OR KERNEL)
Different phones behave differently with roms/kernels. Make a nandroid, flash something, and use it for a few days/weeks. Don't like it? Flash something else! Obviously you probably want to start with the jelly bean based roms and go from there. Look at the comments in the threads and base your opinion on what you want to try from what other people have said.
Hope that helps.
Back in the day I tried several infinity and don't remember others they were not stable as matrix is. I tried one of the first ics custom rom don't remember which ones and it was very unreliable. Was it because it was pretty new or all ics roms suck and is better to stay with gingerbread custom roms?
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
ICS ROMS run great... I was using CM9 up until yesterday when I switched to CM10. Very smooth and good battery even with the stock kernel (referring to CM9)
Closed, no such thing as a "Best" rom.
