[Q] stock kernel with oc capability and clockword mod usable for r800x

I am actually fairly pleased with the stock rom, after root the r800x is so much better with the crap gone. I am actually hoping that there is a stock kernel availble with CWM and able to OC. thanks in advance

dumb question?

stock kernel with o/c isn't a dumb question. But wanting CWM too is

I think it would be easier just to make an o/c module.

the only reason I asked because before this I had a htc incredible and I had a rom that was stock and I could oc it too, that phone had such bad battery life when I got this one I rooted/unlocked it and saw that overall dev is still in the early stages and I was happy with the phones performance so I thought maybe I would ask.

Stock kernel with CWM is possible (I think, 70%). Just please send me CDMA kernel.sin

Well, you see that I'm busy with unlocking phones. I'm modifying touchscreen driver too and it's delaying the release.

[Q] Root now or wait for JB

Root now or wait for jellybean update?
Latest rumors suggest an update within a month. But is there a chance once upgraded to official jelly bean rooting would be prohibited?
What are your thoughts?

Is there any particular reason to root ? Unless you hate the Sense UI or want to install some mod, the new 4.0.4 update is pretty smooth and good with battery life (battery is better than most other AOSP JB ROMs with custom kernels out there).

Titanium backup.
Control over your phone?
Rooting doesnt hurt. And i always regret after some time when i want to change the rom, try cyanogenmod or something and have to format my phone and lose all my progress on where's my water

I was asking OP, because he/she is hesitating. Perhaps the problem OP is having can be resolved without rooting.
@fredfb : Rooting CAN hurt, because rooting requires you to unlock the bootloader, (and if you haven't already read or heard) that can void your warranty !!
P.S: I'm already running a custom ROM, have tried couple of AOSP JB ROMs, but battery life and lack of a decent camera forced me to come back to Sense, now I'm on Viper X, I like the quick settings and the ability to customize various other things, but I can certainly live without them. And I assume many others can too.. So why risk loosing warranty if there is no benefit ??

I always have this urge to get the newest of things. But maybe there are not that many new features. Is battery life that bad in custom roms? I get almost two days of battery life with moderate use.

I use OrDroid. I must say, battery life is excellent. Nearly 5 hours of on screen time.

If you want a pure Android experience, you should root and flash CM10. I was thinking about waiting for official JB or not but I didn't like Sense UI much so rooted.

Because you're using GB and not ICS, which most mods are based on these days, so update to ICS and try again.

You only need to unlock your boot loader the once, you will need to root again though.

i have seen videos on how to update via flash tool but its kinda complicated and still have to flash kernels, is there any other way or an easy way to update my arc? sorry bro for i have so many questions and still i have more.
what rom for GB do u suggest i use for my arc?

Flashing a stock ftf also flashes the included kernel. If you're still struggling with video tutorials or guides then someone else will have to assist as I'm not here to spoon feed for the reason stated in the second line of my guide.

can i use Arconium 8.2 on GB2.3.4?

yeah youre kinda new.....

You cant use ICS mods with a GB kernel.
Have you unlocked your bootloader already?
Sent from my Xperia arc S using xda premium

at last my perseverance paid off, lots of reading, searching, downloading and bookmarking and trial and error and came to the point that i almost bricked my ARC. i am now on android 4.0.4 BB-77 with Advanced stock kernel, build# .587 running on xperia ultimate HD 2.0
heres my screenshot.

BTW if there is someone still a noob like me in flashing heres the simplest vid that i found and it work for me, you should have all drivers installed on your pc
do not release the back button until flashing is finished and not all back button are on the right side as seen on flashtool

Advice on updating

Hey everyone, so I've had my Xperia Arc for nearly 2 years and it's the same android (2.3.4). It's recently started to lag like crazy and freeze a lot so I've been thinking about upgrading to a better rom. I've used the eroot method with one click to root it.I've got superuser access.
Will I able be able to upgrade straight to Xperia Ultimate HD?
I've been reading tutorials and youtubing for hours but it's still going over my head. Any simple written instructions or answers would help.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I've been reading the threads for a few hours now and honestly I'm getting really dizzy just reading and re-reading through it all lol. If you could just answer one or 2 questions it would be helpful.
If I were to install a rom would I need to flash a kernel? As I have already rooted my phone can I just use flashtool to flash lupus kernel?

Yes, kernel is a must. Without the kernel, your phone won't run properly.
As for the Lupus kernel, it is a custom kernel and so should be flashed via fastboot, if you have unlocked your bootloader beforehand.

Not all kernels need unlocked bootloader. You can still flash stock kernels via flashtool with locked bootloader. Only custom kernels like CM kernels need unlocked bootloader to flash.

Will the fact that my 2.3.4 version is rooted matter at all if I'm to upgrade to ice cream sandwich like in the video?

No, since official update to ICS will cause you to lose root. You need to root again after updating.

Thank you for answering my questions, I really appreciate it. Just a final one, if I get cold feet about installing a custom rom is the offical ice cream sandwich decent enough or better than 2.3.4 ginger?
I just really want a better walkman/music player than the standard one.

Walkman was never officially included in 2011 Xperia devices. But I see more devs making ports for ICS. As for GB and ICS, they both have advantages and disadvantages. GB favors performance but lacks many features. ICS has more features but lags more than GB.

I see, thanks for that. My phone has recently started lag quite badly but that may be because i have 2500 songs on my sd card. Use it as a music player as much as a phone, which is a shame then that the music player (including apps on the market) are pretty crap.

Walkman was only on 2011 Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman phone, although it's interface was more or like the same as stock music player on other 2011 phones.

You can try Poweramp from the Play Store. One of the best music players IMHO.
