Hi
I have a question for what I did not find a straightforward answer;
Some back story: I have an Xperia Arc S with stock .587 rom, I wanted to unlock it so I payed on a site to unlock it with point test {if this is the correct way to say it}, the simlock was removed 'yaay' and they also unlocked the bootloader. so a few days back I wanted to play around with kernels and roms, tried lupus with xperia hd 3.0.2, I didn't like it, don't ask why, and I wanted to return to stock, I messed up, soft bricked the phone...long story short, today I resolved the problem and I managed to install the stock rom again.
TL;DR; Can you use the Arc S stock rom with Lupus v10 kernel ? and does anybody have any experience with it ? worth ?
Thank you
If you have any other kernel suggestion that would come in handy too :fingers-crossed:
Greetings from Hungary.

As an old Arc S user, I'll tell from my own experiences..
Using Lupus or any custom made kernels that are made with the purpose to give you overclock options and alternative CPU Governors on stock & non-rooted ROM.. It isn't worth it, because you will not see any difference in performance.
Tweak and debloat .587 ROM in case you are going to use Lupus kernel, I am saying.

Sound interesting, I mean I don't really care about performance, that much, the only thing that I noticed with Lupus kernel {or I guess whatever kernel} is the battery life increase.
I'm still thinking and searching the forum to find a good answer, I have no problem with the stock kernel + rom, but if a custom kernel would give the same performance + better battery life that would definitely help
ps I have no idea how to tweak and debloat[ i don't even know what that is] :silly:

Well, battery life can increase if you are using the right CPU governor and I/O Schelduer (spelling?).
But the increase in your prefered option (BATTERY LIFE) isn't that big on an extended functionality custom kernel, I think, on stock & bloatwared ROM. It can be even worse.. Some battery tweaks in build.prop and some init.d power saving tweaks / scripts can help perhaps.
Best is to try it yourself! Be aware of partial wakelocks, Sony got some bad behaviour with applications that wakes up your Arc S..

Hi guys! I just bought an Arc S, and it's totally awesome. BUT, even if I like the design of the stock ROM, it really can be improved. I always have around 60 mb of free RAM, and you can imagine the result
May I use doom kernel ( or any other kernel ) without flashing a new rom? Would I have improvements? Do I get more free ram?
Thanks in advance, I'm trying to learn everything I can about modding this phone, I had a Motorola and I spent the last months tweaking it, now it's time to start all over
If you've unlocked the bootloader, yes. Any kernel thread OP will advise what version of android the kernel will support, or if it's specifically for a certain rom(i.e. MIUI/CyanogenMod roms). Generally, custom kernels improve performance and add features not available in the stock rom such as call recording, various schedulers, overclocking and so on. Battery life tends to be better with the stock kernels though.
thanks! and specifically, if I want to stay ( for now ) with stock rom 2.3.4 which kernel would you suggest me to try? i'd like one with smartassv2 governor, i heard it's pretty good
Doomkernel is your best bet there, tbh.

Hi guys.
I want to change my rom and kernel but don't know witch one to choose.
I prefer JJ or KA for the ics looks.
I'm now on stock ics 4.0.4.
And when flashing one of those roms, do i have to change my kernel or is the stock 2.6.32.9-perf good enough?
And what to flash first? The rom or the kernel?
Thanks :good:
Hello,
I used JJs from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673489
I'm on stock.
Very pleased with the speed, using stock kernel too.

JJ probably, and flash the kernel first
OF COURSE JJ"s ROM . is THE BEST
the basic point is flashing any kernel, the going into recovery and then installing any rom....and as far as the question is concerned, i prefer ka21 over jj's hybrid..i have tried almost every rom available on this forum for arc and arc s. although i love cm9 it consumes a lot of battery. while ka21 gives me as low as .2% battery loss per hour. that is, in standby mode with wifi off, gps off and data off, 500 hours...theoratically. i really love this rom although i have made my own changes ...
Hey folks,
I've been looking to overclock my Xperia Arc (runnin ICS 4.0.4, build: 4.1.B.0.587) and I'm quite the noob at this so I'm looking for answers and advice. From what I gather, I need to install a kernel and I hear there are many options. One of the most popular one seem to be DooMKernel. I'm thinking about using that and I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1520654
Now, my question is, is that the most updated thread? Is there a newer updated DooMKernel lying around (that is newer than v5)? It's fairly difficult to navigate the forums and so I have a hard time finding all the right posts.
My next question is, if I were to install CyanogenMod, does it install a new kernel that allows me to overclock or is OS separate from the kernel?
And also, feel free to recommend me any other kernels. Are they all pretty much the same or do some of them have particular enhancements?
Thanks in advance!

1. The Doomkernel you linked have problem with some battery drainage, thanks to not using newest kernel sources (if I remember correctly?) and also that Doomlord haven't updated it at a long time so. Look for some other kernels before that one becomes stable enough!
2. The Cyanogenmod ROM requires it own specially developed kernel which can be found in the zip package of each initial release (CM7 - CM9 - CM10) and it have to be flashed through Fastboot before you are flashing the ROM in recovery. Follow instructions on Cyanogenmod homepage for each installation on your prefered device for more info!
3. If you're on Gingerbread, use Doomlord v22, for some amazing performance / battery and a lot of functions (underclocking, undervolting and some other stuff).
If you're on ICS, use latest Lupus kernel (version 8) - that kernel is a beast in every way and you'll definitely like it, it's stable enough to satisfy even you!
It's some difference between the kernels in speed, stability and performance / smoothness / battery life / functions, yes. You have to check them out yourself to find your own favourite.
Hope my answers helped you!

Awesome response, very helpful. Just one more question, do the CyanogenMod kernels have overclocking capabilities? Thanks for the reply, much appreciated!

Yup, CM kernels was created with overclocking and extended performance in mind, hence why Cyanogenmod ROMs are known with expanding the possibilities to some crazy ass performance and level boost (I have only tried CM7 and using it was like driving an Ferrari at 220 km/hour, later versions should be equal in their own specific ways).
Hope you got some useful answer on your question, dude!

I can recommend Sega Rush v3 kernel to use with your currrent or any .587 based custom rom, it can if you so wished be used up to 2ghz,( as could Doomlords V5 ), but be warned and advised to tread carefull with overclocking as you can cause permanent heat damage to, and even kill your phone if you overcook it.
I think the links to Doomlords v5 are down at the moment he is not active with it, so you may struggle to find doomkernel v5 to download, however if you look to the credits in the latest release of Sega v3, you will see him mentioned, take that as a good omen.
PS there are plenty of kernels to choose from, but I would say try to use one that is currently under active development, so that any upgrades / improvements are kept constant.
I can't comment on Cyanogenmods never tried any, but they seem popular enough, and look pretty well supported.You really are spoilt for choice, have fun
Which ROM best device would be stable without problems and without fault or anything
ics / jb / gb?
And how do I install?

gaming= no lag
Multitasking is at max
and the UI is Like ICS
Here Is the link to the rom

For that reason I have stock GB .62 rom, rooted, added launcher tweak into build.prop and moved some applications from /data/app to system/app, at the moment I have about 170 mb free space my Arc S, and it is running smooth without any problems, without anything missing or not working.
With all those wishes, I don't find any other way.

Hi,
in past two months I have tried most of the popular ROMs. First of all I would not recommend you to use custom ROMs with locked bootloader. For some reason even if a ROM is supposed to work with locked BL I would experience bootloops or other problems. After I have unlocked it the bootloops dissapered. If you decide to unlock it first thing to try is CM10 just to see how jellybean looks. It works great with no problems but the camera is 480p and I dont think that is a compromise anyone should make. But still go for it just to see what we're missing out on . Of ICS rROMS I can recommend Ultimate HD (you will need to temper with it to enable XLoud) and JJ Hybrid (for stock ICS look).
Performance wise the GB is the best for Arc S. Even though the benchmark results were the same for GB/ICS/JB when I've tested it, if you are gaming GB will give you the best performance. Also camera and sound work best. If it doesnt bother you to use the older version of android go with GB. If you unlock the BL then you can use Doomkernel for GB and OC and UV the phone for better performance and battery life. There is Setxperia app that works great with Doomkernel in GB but gives me problems with Rush kernel so I cant use it in ICS.
You can go with the stock .42, root, delete anything you don't need. And update to .62. That alone would give you the best possible performance you can get out of Arc. If you unlock the bootloader then you can overclock it to 1600 MHz and undervolt at least -50mV whitch gave me about 3 days of battery life and faster phone.
Hi all, today I unlocked boot loader and rooted my nexus 7 2013 WiFi. At the moment I am sticking to stock ROM until I get more internet data from my ISP then I can flash a custom ROM.
Anyway what kernel would you recommended for stock KitKat 4.4.2 ROM in the mean time, or is it not worth changing and I'm better just waiting to flash custom ROM+kernel?
I was hoping for a more performance based one and would like to overclock both CPU and GPU, of course performance+battery contradict each other but if I could also have good-very good battery life and faster performance then even better.
Also what apps are you using for over clocking CPU/GPU?
Please suggest thanks

Best ROM/kernel threads are frowned upon at XDA.
As far as overclocking app, I use Tasker. I use it for setting the kernel tunables also.

I use elementalx with stock. Great performance and battery life.
