Hey,
Would it be possible to flash CM7 with the stock kernel on Xperia Arc S?
I want to try a new ROM but I'm not sure if you need another kernel than the stock. And I couldn't find any existing thread with this problem
(I have rooted it and an unlocked the bootloader)
I hope you can help me out
Bram
You need to flash the kernel of CM7 or any custom kernel that's compatible with CM7.
As FXP already stated in his thread:
FXP said:
HOWTO
to flash cm7 rom you have to take 3 steps (after unpacking the 7z archive)
step 2 - flash new kernel (always use the kernel provided in CM7 / it is incompatible with stock ROM)

Yup, AOSP-based ROMs don't work with the stock kernel.
Okay thanks. And when I want to get back to my origional ROM (stock), I don't have to flash another kernel. Or do I have to change the kernel everytime I change the ROM? And what makes Doomkernel so special actually?

Some ROMs need specific kernels to work properly. Of course this doesn't necessarily mean that each time you change your rom, you will have to change your kernel as well. Most of the times, in the thread of each ROM you will find info on what kernel is needed each time.
I'm using DoomKernel because I'm very satisfied with its speed and its CWM recovery which is veeery helpful if you wanna try things on your phone!
I already use CWM. Isn't there a kernel that works with any ROM

Hi Guys,
Just getting a grip on this Xperia Play, fantastic handset.
I am on the new stock firmware v4 (xloud) and I have flashed doomlords V02-FIX kernel.. overclock etc seems to be working fine.
Could someone tell me if its ok to flash the CM7 FXP025 and if no good/don't like can I safely get back to the stock rom by recovering using CWM recovery backup?
Sorry if it sounds a bit noobish I am not the brightest bulb in the box
Thanks
CM7 will only work with the provided kernel within the CM7 posts. It will not work with doomlords kernel (i've tried) lol

It's because doomkernel is made from the Sony Ericcson kernel source code. This is totaly incompatible with the source used for the CM kernels. You have to understand that CM7 is an aosp build. Built from the ground up, they are unable and unwilling to use any proprietary code. Thats why bug hunting usually takes longer than stock roms
How to back from CM9 to stock ROM/Kernel [xperia arc]. Do i need only to flash stock .tft rom via flash tool or i need to need to something before that? flash stock kernel or smt?

Hi,you have to flash stock kernel.
Go to xperia development And chose the ROM you want.All the info is there.

Ty so much, works like a charm
This is one of those n00b questions that probably seems obvious but isn't, at least for me.
One can safely assume a kernel that says it is for CM7 or CM9 will work with ROMs with those names. But what about ROMs based on stock, like DarkForest 3.0.5 or the UK ROM? It's not quite as clear to me and I didn't see that info in the ROMs where I would expect it to be.

DoomLord or Darkforest (stock based, it's a few pages back in dev forum) or stock (flash via ftf) for stock based (darkforest 3/cola/IT-Rom/gbtweaked/r800x UK). Kernel associated with rom for others.

So ROMS should indicate whether they are based on Stock or not, and they should indicate the kernal, shouldn't they?
Also, I think one can also say, if you want to be on the bleeding edge of technology, go with CM9 or maybe CM7. If you want to use your Play to play videos, games that use video cutscenes, etc, stick with a Stock-based ROM. (At this point in development, anyway.)
And, Pax, Am I also correct in assuming when FXP puts up a new build, as they just did, I will want to hold off until Chevyowner updates his link, or is there a way for me to keep the CDMA functionality using other builds?
BTW - CM9 is awesome!
If I ever get around to creating an update.zip, we might have a flashable porting zip for CDMA on CM9

That would be sweet!
The Darkforest kernel links are all outdated so that is a no-go. I installed DoomLord's kernel without a problem, but I can't get into recovery on it, tried back button, volume down, volume up, home, search... nothing.
Just flashed back to stock with the ftf file and installed the doomkernel again - boots ok into Stock now, so that's something. However, I understand that this kernel is harder on the battery use than Keiran's.
The learning continues! Now to figure out how to get recovery on it and how to get in it!.

1) Create the file structure and fill it with the files you want to use.
2) Write the updater script.
3) sign it with testsign.jar.
4) Flash it.
That's how you basically create an update.zip. The really boney part is the updater script, in which you have to figure out the correct permissions, symlinks and other stuff, and/or run the scripts you want to have working.

I recently flashed Doomkernel v11 on my stock rom then flashed the wifi modules and everything is fine. When Doomkernel logo appears on boot, that is the time the LED turns to blue and I just pressed "back" key on my xplay and it boot into Doomkernel's boot manager. However, I also installed CWM 5.0.2.7 for Xperia phones just to be sure. Lastly, it really is a bit of hard battery in the battery but it is fast and stable. Btw, I am using T.E.A.M. rom as of now and it is also fast and stable.

Yupp, thanks for the info, right now it's my own laziness keeping me from doing it (That and Mass Effect 3 ) (That and i'm looking for an automatic update.zip creator, and they're all windows based (boo! hiss!))

He's on the R800x, I haven't tested out doomkernel v11 (i know doomkernel v10 gsm had an issue with DHCP on R800x) and T.E.A.M. rom is currently not working on R800x (we've been having baseband issues with porting any of the 4.xxx firmware to Xperia Play)

Completely understandable, this thread started as a R800x focused one, but with Logseman no longer updating the Guide/Rollup thread, we do need a new on focused on matching kernels with Roms...

Hi, I have a few noob questions as well:
1. Does a custom ROM like CM7 or Lite'ning have their own kernel ? When I flash them, the kernel I have now (CF-ROOT) gets replaced ?
2. How do I know to match a kernel to a ROM ?

And thus we return to the original question!
I have since found that the best way to know which kernel to use with a ROM is to read through the thread for the ROM you are interested in. If a ROM is based on stock, then look for kernels based on stock, etc.
Also some ROMs package a kernel to be used with them in the zip file. It's always a good choice when you want to try a ROM and you aren't sure what kernel to use.

Guys, just a question. I am using the Asian version 1.29.707.11.
Would this kernel be the same across the board? I was thinking of reverting to the stock kernel as well.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I'm also using Asian version and wondering about this as well. I kind of assume that since the custom kernels work across geography, the stock kernel is the same.
thank you man
Iam using an arabic stock rom and I try it and its work great
I don't suppose you have the same for 2.17 stock Kernel please
Just recently rooted my One X, still on stock ROM and now I'm thinking on changing only the kernel.
If anything goes wrong, I'm reverting to stock kernel again.
Thank you for the files!

Both of the kernels you mentioned work with the exact same roms... If you want to use LuPuS stock-gb, just flash it over DooMKerneL v14
