Hi im new to all of this rooting and roms as i have always had iphones but lately decided to make the switch to android (im loving it by the way ) i have the xperia arc s which i have flashed with the official nordic version of android 4.0.3 and it is running well but can be quite laggy sometimes i was reading about kernels and have heard a lot about doomkernel i was wondering can i have another kernel which would help me get more out of my arc s or am i being stupid :S any help would be brilliant as im new to the whole overclocking and kernel stuff obviously with the limitations of iphones
hi all
im starting a new project an probably the hardest one so i need help of some of the other developers.
for now im downloading the xperia u system dump(thanks to @pipi14 for his xperia u ftf file in here)
this project may not be completed because its very hard for me but i like learning so im going to start it.
and another thing
im using stock ics as my base for porting because i think its easier to port it using stock roms as base
any helps are appreciated for this project
what i have done:
1- files are downloaded now.
2-system dump is extracted
3-debloating the rom now (because it is more than our system partition)
4-system files are about 550mg without touching them. if they be higher than 310mg even after debloating i will need someone for remapping lupus kernel
4-after making some of the things ready for port i saw that its 410mg (its not 380mg)
5-vengeance kernel didnt work i need some help for 400mg kernel now :crying: because im very noob in kernels :crying:
yes finally entered recovery in vengeance kernel
flashing the rom now
it is really hard for me to wait more
update:
flashed the first build
waiting to see if it boots or not
update2:
i made a logcat and i think i found 1 of the problems
testing my idea now
update3:
flashing now
Keep up the good work...trial and error is part of the thrill of working on roms.
What is vengeance kernel and is it a new xperia play kernel?
Sent from my R800at using xda premium
its a neo l kernel but because neo l is very similar to play so i can use neo l kernel for only getting this rom boot
but im having too many kernel related problems (i dont know why but i cant pass the kernel bootlogo some times) and because of my exams i cant test things for now

@extremetempz
can you remap partitions of lupus gb/ics kernel like other xperia 2011 devices kernels when you have time ?
i really need it for porting xperia arc roms +this project
Hello i want to flash a new rom on my phone for a change.
Tell me what you are running the pros and cons and tell me if you suggest it
I am now running on AOPK 4.4.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2577191
With unolocked bootloader
Rooted (rom has su binary preinstalled)
On Doomkernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2345567
I would like a 4.4 rom
Unlocked or locked bootloader
Root access of course
And preferably running with doomkernel
Thank you.
i have a SP with UBL and i flashed Vanir AOSP rom since January 6 with "in-rom" kernel. Recently i flashed NayakKernel v0.3.
its fast, good battery drain, and very stable for daily use. Have a little bugs like others KitKat roms but is the most suitable for my daily use.
Try and then tell us what you think

VanirAOSP rom is really fast, and has great battery life.
I have no crashes or FC. since I installed it, the only problem I had was that the screen became totally unresponsive and I had to do a reset. But just one time…
Sometimes the screen does not respond to touch if it is in a horizontal position on the table, and i need to pick it up ...but I think it is a SP bug and not a ROM bug…. Or not!?
I charge the battery overnight (100%), i make and receive calls and sms, read the news, personal and corporate email, check the XDA forum many times :laugh::laugh::laugh:, facebook, Google +, 3 or 4 lightweight games (almost never play), some youtube videos for my baby, do not usually listen music, and have google location disabled. Usually I end the day with 40-50% of battery,
Is always connected to the internet. At home and at work have WIFI always on. If WIFI is OFF, 3G is connected.
For my daily use, this is the best kitkat based rom for xperia SP, with a very good performance and lite features. I'm very happy and satisfied with this ROM, and i'm waiting the new version (and changelog) to update.
Thanks to Whitemamba for the great job. :good:
Thank you i will give it a try

Hi,
Because we all have diffrent opninion about our Sony Xperia SP I would like to do a very small reseach.
With this very easy poll I just want the next question answered:
Are you running official 4.1.2 or 4.3.x?
If you are running a custom ROM (CM, PA or even stockbased) answer Custom ROM..
If you have answerd the question please let me know in a comment:
Tell which one you have chosen (perhaps even the build number of the version you run) and wheter you are happy with it or not!
Thanks!
OP will kickoff:
I have chosen for Stock Sony 4.3.x. I am not that happy with it because it still has a few bugs. I do however am happy because Sony finnaly took the time to update it after delay and more delay. Now we are just waiting for KitKat.
I still choose 4.3 because camera feature and others.
205 fw
I'm running 4.3, without much talk it's just the best choice right now since many bugs have been fixed and it does come with some pretty nice features
I'm in 4.3.... every OS have bugs, but at least with 4.3 you have more features here and there and thats why is better that stay in a old OS version
Also last update just let me little visual bugs (install app bar), GPS (not the big deal) and Wifi (well Wifi range sucks since 4.1)
I am on stock 4.3,and i am happy!
Nearly all bugs are fixed,only ram is failing in some moments
Happy with stock 4.3 latest fw, much better than previous updates. No lag here, so its good for me after all those laggy updates.
I had lag issues with all versions of the stock ROM I've tried. After testing a whole bunch of custom ROMs I've settled on CM 10.1. While it is not exactly cutting edge, it has been out of active development for many months, it is rock solid and stable.
I use stock 4.3 as camera is important to me. I found PA 4.4.4 to be the fastest rom for me, but I want to be able to control ISO manually on my camera. I tried various versions of 4.3 and decided to stick with my carrier version (O2 UK). Once towel rooted and debloated I find it to be very fast and stable. More so than the various deodex stock roms on the forum.
Yea I am also on the .205 4.3 firmware, I am UK customised, one of the last to get it but it is good. I fixed the uninstall glitch with a fixed package installer apk, only issue I have experienced is battery drain due to location services and lower ram (compared with 4.1.2).
I'm using 4.3, with eXistenZ Ultra. Couldn't be happier [emoji1]
Stock 4.1.2 is the best
I'm using stock 4.1.2 with swap on stock kernel
Was on latest stock every time a new firmware was released, then switched to eXistenZ when it seemed like we'd never have KK, but I've never been deceived with either stock firmware or eXistenZ, both have always been very fast and I've never experienced any lag or disconfort on this phone.
EXistenZ is perfect. 4.3 is better than 4.1 imho

I personally favours CM 11 because of a few flaws present in the stock ROM. Not to be lying, I really like Sony's UI (framework-res.apk) and some aspects of the stock ROM. As per to my experience, the stock ROM is not that heavily modified as I can somehow use some things that are meant for AOSP-based ROMs, which is a huge plus for me. However, when it comes to support and RAM, it fails to meet my requirement, and that is what forced me to use CM.

Nope, I can assure you, maybe I've just been lucky but all of the bugs and lags that have been blamed on it ? I've never had them. The only bad point for me is the pretty average camera.
I'm on stock 4.3 (.205 fw). Best I've experience by far, both feature-wise and usability. RAm management could be better though.
Hi All,
Stephen here, new to XDA. Not sure if this is the right place to post.
I'm looking for advice to help extend my Xperia X8 battery life. I have a rooted Xperia X8 running stock rom and kernal (android 2.1), manufacture details 10W42.
I use my xperia X8 solely as a bike computer because it has in-built ant+ receiver but its use is limited up to approx 2hrs due to battery life . My main question is are there any custom Rom's available which do not effect the ant+ protocol that is installed at manufacture and that extend the battery life substantially. I would require 3-4hrs on constant screen on with a bike gps app (IpBike) running so that I can use the xperia X8 as a bike computer.
I'm a software developer so flashing roms and kernals shouldn't be an issue. I would guess that a later version of android would probably help!
thanks
I can you recommend a good roms that I've tried (do not know about the battery life, I think it's good for both roms)
