Can you use Doom's ICS kernal for a GB rom

Hey
Just wondering if ICS kernals are able to work with GB roms because I am planning to test a number of ICS and GB roms and need to know if I,ll need to flash a different kernel each time

No, that's why it's referred to as an ICS kernel.

Just stick with 'v14'.

Best GB ROM?

I've been really enjoying ICS, but there is not enough free ram for me, so I have decided to go back to GB unfortunately, I can't find much on xda about GB ROMs so I was wondering if someone could tell be what the best ROM for GB is? Thanks!!

Arconium 8.2 or CM 7.2 are meant to be excellent.

Any idea if either require an unlocked boot loader?

CM 7.2 definitely will. Don't know about Arconium.

You should be able to use arconium with locked bl

I made the step back to gb. It certainly feels better for me. I'm currently trying out this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797812 and its running fine

I'm guessing a downgrade from an ICS custom ROM would need a computer at some point?

You'd need to boot a gb kernel or flash a gb rom, so yep.

That's what I have been on for a while, but it started slowing down and getting a bit choppy. Its a great rom though.

SE.tweaked is an excellent rom for arcs. Lightweight, fast, full function and nice customization. Cheers.

Thanks but I've decided to stay on JJ's for now, I used V6 supercharger and it really speeded up my device and made games playable

If a kernal support for ICS it shuld be suport for preivus verion of the rom(GB).
any comments ??

[Q] Sense Port to Xperia S

Hello there! I was wondering if it is possible to port sense ui from htc to xperia s.
I've read many threads about porting and also porting sense. Found this guide on xda:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1707177
But i had some issues. I tried CM9.1 as Base and one v rom as port rom (extracted ruu and copyed over some folders)
-> didn't boot... i had no problems while flashing... but then there just came a stock android bootscreen logo but nothing happend.
I wasn't sure about which device would fit the best for porting and how to get started the best.
Would be nice to get some help!
Thanks!

You want only the UI or the whole Sense?

Full sense!
I know its hard to do it but i really like sense!
And i think its worth it

Indeed it is really hard. You'd have to get a dev that would want to have such a big job...

Which devs do we have for xperia s?
And who would do this?^^
Do you have xperience with porting Roms?

There aren't many, mostly none wants to do it and I don't have experience. I can't badly change a png myself without my phone almost exploding.

Thats Bad/ sad.
I know sense is very complex
I would try to do it myself for the beginning but i dont have much experience.. all i need would be some information on how to get started and which device would make 'sense' to port sense from.
But i also know i can't do it alone. Sadly I dont have the knowledge.

I think the Sensation HD would be a good choice. I don't know if it has the latest Sense, but it is the closest HTC device to ours (basically, it is the same thing with different design and UI)

Alright..
For porting, do i have to use a stock Rom or can i also try to port a custom Rom of the HTC sensation or would that make it harder?
And if i use a stock Rom, do i have to extract the Rom from a ruu or are there other ways to get stock Rom?

I think any custom Sense should do.
Sorry, don't know anymore

Okay but thanks

you could just google for "htc sensation hd stock rom", there are so many sources serving the stock roms.

Of this is really that simple everyone would do it,but unfortunatly it's not :/

I know that there are many sources but i've never seen a stock rom as zip file .
You always have to download ruu and then extract firmware and kernel files..
But at least it is not the Problem to get a stock Rom

I think i can help you here
If you were stuck at bootscreen, then replace the android_servers.so in system/lib of the ported rom with the android_servers.so file of original rom(i.e. rom made for xperia s)
Let me know if its working or not and if possible can you send me a link of your ported rom..

I can help with testing, as long as you send me it after December 11th.

ICS stock

Is there any way to get ICS stock on r800x? I saw a lot of stock based ROMs but they were all only gsm. I don't care if service works just want a booting ROM. I know r800x didn't get ICS beta but are there any that work or have been ported. Thanks
Sent from my r800x using xda developers app
rom: cm9 official
2nd slot: turbo ui classic
kernel: Turbo v3.1

You can already install ics. You just need to flash Doom's ics beta kernel then flash rom via CWM. The install process is the same as installing any custom roms into your device. You wont get phone service btw.

Try using whatever kernel you want, what is very important is that flash the correct FTF. Try using an R800x FTF and flash any kernel and ROM. Also you can try using a CDMA Neo L ICS Firmware (If there's any) and flashing it without the kernel, just flash an ICS Xperia Play kernel...

sadly there is no cdma version of neo l i think because i couldnt find one. Thanks anyway. (already used my 8 for today but ill thank you tomorrow. its free so why not )

Don't worry man...

A good bloatware removal app would be titanium backup, 'cause it let you choose which software to uninstall... An ICS ROM that is almost a clean rom, would be the Hybrid ROM by Krisdee...
