Sure, you can..
I did it several times..
first of all sorry for my bad english
i 've some questions n problems. i 've xperia x8 black n its rooted n xrecovery n cwm both r installed. im using escha arch v3 2.3.7...linuxxperia on stock kernel. but its very slow . i also tried some another custom roms bt same problem with them. performance was very slow. Than i read some topics here on xda and i found that custom kernels will improve the performance.
so i just want to knw
1. how to unlock bootloader and install custom kernels?
2. which custom kernel is better or best?
3. do i need any specific custom rom pre install before installing custom kernel? like as i said im using eshca arch 2.3.7.
4. how can i find my phone model like is it e15i or e15a ?
plz im very upset with its performance . when im using my cell its showing only 30mb or 40mb free ram..

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

What is the fastest rom for X8 with stock kernel? Should also be battery saving and not ram consuming, but most important: FAST
I dont need a very good looking rom with fancy widgets and lots of functions or setting, just fast and battery saving

PrimeHD for Stock Kernel is ur answer!
Find it in "All downloads" link in the 2nd post of the thread.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
Thanks, i'll flash primehd tomorrow as you wrote: "there is going to be v5.4 for all kernels, I will finish up my last checkings and upload the files tomorrow."
So i dont have to flash 5.3 today and 5.4 tomorrow
Just to be sure....i just have to boot into cwm, do a full wipe and install primehds53 (or tomorrow primehds54) and then reboot and let it boot into primehd?
I'm asking this because there is a hotfix file too and somewhere i read that i have to install google apps and i dont know if the hotfix file is ment or not?!
thanks in advance........i'm really looking forward to using primehd
Cheers...
Hi, for the first time I'm planning to install a custom rom so infact I'm doing this only because of native app2sd support:fingers-crossed: but to be honest I want a full compatible custom rom which should support and run most applications from market and performance should be good just like the stock 2.1 if not better... and if possible then camera and all other major functions should be working in it without any bugs.
That's all I ask .. currently I'm thinking about :
cyanogenmod
GingerDX
GingerZaraki
but I don't know which one is better Don't really want to unlock bootloader / kernels unless really necessary..
Thanks in advance.

Unlocking bootloader & installing a custom kernel is highly recommended ( if u don't know how to unlock & required build date DON'T TRY IT)
Best rom for stock is Gingerdx (my opinion) very stable, smooth.
Camera, etc works fine & without bugs.
Native app2sd is also supported

okay I successfuly unlocked bootloader I think co'z in status it says "r"

Most custom roms for mini 2 like cyanogenmod does not support overclock. Will just unlock the stock processor speed 1Ghz. I said that, because if you select an higher value phone will crash or reboot.
Just stock rom can be overclocked up to 1,12 Ghz and cm9 at 1,1 Ghz.
Also brian kernel can be installed on stock rom (but camcorder will not work) and cm10.1 but wifi and camera will not work. Brian kernel have 411 mb Ram avaiable for OS.
Also, to make this phone fast you should be rooted and deodexed and rom should be zipalligned with int.d scripts. To boost OS speed use squadzone kernel. To improve rom stability flash lastest 2014 rom from samsung (branded movistar). /Or another rom, but you will also need to de-bloatware it (deleting useless apps/files)
If you need more help just tell me

1)To root mini 2 is enough to install clockworkmod recovery and reboot phone. If you're not rooted it will ask you if you want to write su (superuser) binary.
To overclock stock rom you will need to install squadzone's kernel from an custom recovery like cwm or twrp.
2) Mini 2 does not have full working custom roms like stock rom. Cyanogenmod 10.1 rom have problems with fm radio and whitescreen. Well, all mini 2 cm have that problems.
If you decided to use cm10.1 and you want to boost it , delete useless apps (not neessary apps), like voice dialer or vpn config, gmail, dev tools, and other apps that you don't use.
Also, I need to mention here that all mini 2 custom roms have a problem with camcorder performance. It will lag while you rec. a video. I noticed , the bad video performance on cm10.1 and higher like cm10.2, cm11 (games have graphical issues instead stock rom) .
Else I don't know what to do to boost cm...
Playstore promoted apps in app or ads will just clear ram, and tell you to delete useless user apps.
There are 2 kind of apps:
-user apps (installed from playstore, sdcard, ext. sdcard, adb...)
-system apps (preinstalled rom apps, like phone , internet browser..., this apps can be deleted from rom .zip , before you flash it/ or if you're rooted, download root browser and go to system/app and delete what you want.)
Just search on internet (google) squadzone kernel mini 2 s6500, and flash it.
Tell me if you don't found it. I have it saved on my sdcard, and I will upload it. :thumbup:

Squadzone kernel does not have bugs till MD1 PDA verdsion.
If you flash MK1 ROM, wifi will be broken. A fix for that is avaiable on dev forum.
Last summer I've tried to flash squadzone's kernel into CyanogenMod 10.1 but I had a bootloop!

But you can't overclock your sgm2 if you do that you get bluescreen and reboot. For me the squadzone kernel is very awesome and smooth in games. Even in higher games im running on custom rom with squadzone kernel 1.1overclock
