thank you bro
one more thing
is this rom compatible with my lt18a and is it better than the stcok android 4

i dont have an idea of the rom u have linked up, but if you want any recommended rom in XDA dev section go for JJ hybrid or Xperia pureness rom or jelly sandwich its becuase its supported here and you can find all support you need int respective rom threads.
speaking of diffrences from your stock rom these are higly tweaked more fast and stable roms . just go through the OP of each rom for thier features and you will know what im saying.
and if your bootloader is unlocked use LUpus or Archnight kernels with these roms to tweak battery and performance or ur arc s.

Mooded rom is a bit old... and there is no support, cause the developer is currently banned from xda.

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

doom kernel v21 is for GB rom.
u cant use it on ICS rom,such as Xperia Ultimate HD 2.0 rom.

wow this is very enlighting, so it means that i may not use Xperia Ultimate HD on doomkernel21 right? i tried DK22 but it doesnt work also so that means i have to update on ICS to use other ICS based kernel? how do i update my arc to ICS? coz as i remember i cant update over the air with an ulocked bootloader right? so how do i update to ICS? and where do i download those update files? please point me to the right thread. when i tried pc companion it says my device is updated.:fingers-crossed:

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.

You cant use ICS mods with a GB kernel.
Have you unlocked your bootloader already?

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

Sony Xperia SL ROMS?

Are there any Sony Xperia SL roms? Because all the ROMS available on XDA are for the Xperia S. Would Xperia S ROMS work on the Xperia SL? If so which problems would i face?

i have one, from my SL buy in Philippin, but it's 6.1.A.2.45.
Another newest firmware is 6.1.A.2.50 link below
Code:

I believe an SL is the same just the processor is turned up to 1.7 so S roms should work as far as I've read. (no guarantee tho)
Sent from my Jellybean Xperia S

I just recently flashed my SL with a FXP CM10 rom, by following all the steps for S, and so far I have no problems. Except I made a big mistake by not backing up my rom first (silly me). If you want to flash any Xperia S roms, I suggest you backup the stock rom first and also the build.prop. Cause once you flash to S roms, the device will be recognized as Xperia S and having a backed up build.prop would come in handy as reference. Another downside is that the CPU will be underclocked to 1.5GHz, but can be easily changed to 1.674MHz through an app or if your rom can change the CPU settings.
Just to warn you, there aren't a lot of options out there if you want to go back to stock since most are for Xperia S.

Nova kernel will clock it back to 1.7 and you can edit the build.prop for device id

Questions about installing
Hi everybody,
I am planning to replace the stock rom on my sister's xperia sl with a Cm10 rom.
Before I would do something, I would like to ask some questions.
How can I make a backup of the current kernel? I(Just in case I would like to go back to stock rom)
Is it true if I flash the boot.img file with the fastboot, I will get another kernel installed together with clockworkmod recovery?
If I don't make a backup of the current kernel, just do a backup with cwm, is it possible to simply restore my cwm backup in the future if necessary?
Can I download a stock kernel from anywhere If making a backup of it is not possible?
I have just a little experience with cwm, I did a few months ago a custom rom installation on zte blade, but there everything was easy, because I could install it with the rom manager application.
I would be very grateful if you could send me a link in email or private message to the latest cm and gapps build for xperia s.
I am visually impaired, so I use a screenreader software to browse webpages. With this program, navigating through the cm page is difficult for me, because there aren't exact headings, and tables which I could use to understand the structure of the items on that website. I met the same situation at another page, where I donwloaded the wrong file because of the lack of accessible structure. At that time I didn't have problem, but I would like to prevent dowloading an incompatible rom for my xperia.
Where do I have to put the build.prop file linked here in this topic? Do I have to place it in the zip file of the rom?
Thank you for your help in advance.
Sorry for my beginner questions and not perfect English.
Cheers,
Istvan

[Q] How to go from Cyanogenmod 10.1 to Sony Xpeia Arc S ICS 4.0.4 Stock rom?

Hey guys. I own the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S . I have rooted it and installed cyanogenmod 10.1.
Now the cyanogenmod is nice but it still has a lot of bugs and it lacks in a lot of aspects in comparison to the stock rom.
Now i would like to go back to the stock rom which was ICS 4.0.4
Is it possible to downgrade from 4.2 to 4.0.4 ?
if yes then a complete tutorial would be highly appreciated for my problem . Thanks in advance.

Use flashtool to go back to stock ICS..4.0.4.. You'll need the .587 ftf file.
If you wanna try a custom ICS rom.. Flash an ICS kernel.. Then the rom..

See the stickys and general section.

[Q] Using Kitkat 4.4 on Xperia Ion Locked Bootloader

Hi I want to use the new release Kitkat 4.4 ROM for Xperia ION posted on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2590849
How can I install it if I have my bootloader locked @MrGezz @RaymanFX @Optimus @ARNOB @AshRoller
Please I want to use and test this ROM.
Thanks for your help.

Unfortunately you can't without the custom kernel which requires the bootloader to be unlocked.
Also, tagging the other devs and members for a common question is not a good thing

Hey this project has bin successful [MOD][UB][TESTERS NEEDED!] CyanogenMod 10 for locked bootloader [WIP][DEV]. is there anyone who could alter it for Xperia Ion users,
He also gave some instruction how to here.
Unfortunately i'm not knowledgeable on that aspect.
Could anyone help?

Sorry, @ARNOB I'm new here.
So...there's no option for me? they can modify the kernel for LB?

So... @MrGezz I can't install your 4.4 version on my ion with looked bootloader?
You will create a rom for us? (LB)?
Thanks for your work!
