Yea...if u havent root, use stock rom,2.1 eclair (not like u have other rom),root,install xrec or CWM, then flash Gingerdx ( follow the instruction at gdx thread)

so i dont need to unlock bootloader and install custom kernel? awesome! coz i don like to do so
nop just have that on your cel and you can flash it, and remember making a full wipe for better results on the rom
Just root, install CWM, and flash the rom, modded kernel is not required
Do not install GingerDX with xRecovery, it will have bugs if you do, use CWM and before you install the rom, do a full wipe.

rom and kernel
To flash KERNEL you need unlock bootloader.
To install ROM you need root + recovery.

Excuse, but I installed it with xRecovery and I have no bugs. I only feel that battery draining is higher than stock ROM, but that's all. I've used it for a week without problems.

u can use with stock kernel too, if u wanna use custom kernel then u need to unlock bootloader, and all gingerdx roms v14 and above needs to be installed with cwm
go to settings/ Accounts & Sync and hit auto-sync or down on list hit on gmail account
I have cwm 3.2.0.0 is the same thing with cwm v014+???
Hi,
I am using W8 and using the custome ROM GingerXperia V22 which is beautiful and i really like it. Only thing i am having issue is the call screen lag, When i receive the call or call a contact,all i see is a black screen for couple of seconds. Any idea how to overcome this?
its because you use stock kernel+gingerxperia. same happens with stock+gingerdx
flash alfs06 kernel which i believe is compatible with both ROMS: gingerxperia and gingerdx
i have that problem to with v22 and stock kernel. is there an solution without a custom kernel cause i am afraid of unlocking the bootloader cause chance of simlock and brick
whats your phone date? if it is less than 11W29 and you know to read a few steps in english, you will be fine

You are right it just seems to be very hard, but after all it takes only 5 minutes to unlock and install custom kernel....i know it coz iv just do it...
you could try apps from the market like Go Contacts ...works well for me!
V23 update
Mi new version is update
flash alfs kernel..
it solves the problem

1.there are many threads here explaining how to unlock bootloader, so please read a one of them. also as it seems risky for some users think twice.(you might brick your phone) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436924&highlight=bootloader+unlock)
and when it comes to custom roms, some needs custom kernals and some don't. so decide which rom you want based on their features, looks, etc and if the selected rom needs a custom kernal then you have to flash.
2. read user reviews, also there are some big names like LinuxDX, nAa, alfs etc....
3. nope
4.sorry isn't it showing in "About Phone" section on "Settings"? under "Model Number"?
P.S. i used some custom roms too. but back to stock 2.1 because of battery issues. I used "Sony Ericsson Update Service" aka "SEUS" to reinstall stock rom. and there is a app named "Links to SD" which do the same task of "Apps2SD" so you can free up some memory if you use 2.1.
thanx goldbugbee......
Correction: to goldbugbee
3: yes. For some roms you need a specific Rom. Like minicm uses naa kernel. Etc

2.The best kernels out,in my opinion,are nAa's and alf's search them....
3.the best way to flash a new kernel is while being on stock rom
Attention! You wont be able to boot to stock rom if you flash a cutom kernel,so load the rom to the phone before you flash the kernel,anda then through cwm blabla...
4.Pull out the battery of your phone it should say somewhere
I hope i helped you

sory for my bad bad english.
Ok guys I've have just downloaded and installed this ROM I found called GingerXperia V30B from http://tux8newblog2012.wordpress.com/2012/04/03/gingerxperia-v30-stock-kernel/ (Sorry website is in spanish, you can translate it if you wanna read it).
So I installed this ROM with nAa custom GingerBread Kernel based on stock 2.6.29 SE sources ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350484 )
I also have CWM installed and everything else clean.
I also full wiped before installing both the ROM and Kernel (Installed ROM first).
Also installed the V30C update including on the first thread mentioned.
The problem is that when I go to wifi settings and click to enable Wifi it just says "error" under wifi. Like Cyanogenmod 9 without the wifi fix.
So my question is, does anyone know any fix for this ROM?
I don't really wanna change ROM since it's a great ROM as far as I've seen including (fake)MultiTouch.
Anyone?
I did'nt even know there was a GingerXperia v30
But on topic i dont know how to fix this hence the first sentence maybe its something with the ROM?

This ROM is for stock kernel, not nAa! That's why WIFI (and propably vibrations too) doesn't work

Yeah mate, no problems. Just restore it from Abyss Kernel 4.2 Redpill if you need too.
There are no problems with making backups in CWM unless you are using an unsafe kernel. Sounds like you are good to go.
CWM, backup, then you're ready for whatever you wanna do next. I have done this many times.
