kernel is the heart of any operating sytem. the battery extender kernel in SRE1.5 would do just fine.

experience with different roms are subjective to end users. only way to find best rom is trying them all by yourself. there is no best rom. I used ultimatum rom for a time. It is good. you can give it a try.

Flash my Phone

Hi Guys,
i want flash the new JVP on my phone tommorow. And i Think i will flash the Tegrak Kernel.
My Question:
I want a smooth handy without lags. What do you mean is the best way?
Stock Rom or De-odexed ROM ?
or Maybe a CustomROM.
Thx alote
With respect I would do a lot of research and reading before you jump into rom flashing, it will save you a lot of stress!

Hm, just read through all the flashing manuals. And if you think you kniw enough, you can look for your new ROM.
A custom ROM will run smoother than a stock rom and custom ROMs have some features stock ROMs don't have.

[Q] need help for custom kernels.

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.

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
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
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

Well I would recommend you the Asylum ICS rom in CM9 base or if u want the AOKP go ahead with my rom Half-Illusion
Both are light and fast
Also can try the Paranoid Android rom if you want custom app dpi.
Above all roms are AOSP and doesn't include any samsung features!
Kernel comes with the custom rom. U can flash newer versions of kernel from the kernel repository link in my siggi.
BOOMED from my BOMBASTIC NOTE
Depends what features you are looking for,
If you're just looking for something smooth and stable and close to Stock (With Samsung Apps etc) then check out the ICS ROM CleaNote which comes bundled with the Dev's own kernel.
If you're not bothered about the Spen apps etc then I'd say give Paranoid Android a go..
It's personal preference really, Just have a read through the threads in the Dev section, Most of them have screenshots or a video showing features and installation method..
But, as You're on Stock ICS at the moment, be careful and DO NOT Wipe / Factory Reset on a STOCK ICS Kernel.
Cheers

but if u really curious den go for custom stock rom wid sum sort of tweaks done.....
First backup efs to multiple locations, use dr ketans tool thread to find out how

Speed and stability
Speed and stability depend both on rom as well as kernel.. most of the sammy based custom roms use notecore these days which is also my personal favorite:good:

[Q] How to overclocked s6500D to 1.1 ghz on CM 10.1 rom and more free ram

Hi there. I have a question at title and need help. Becase mini 2 is too lag and less free ram so i wonder: is there any ways to make my s6500d more smooth and fast. Thaks a lot ^^

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
