[Q] Custom kernel in GB - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to ask :
1. Can I use a ICS/JB custom kernel in my Xperia Arc still at GB ?
2. If I flash a ICS/JB custom kernel to my Arc, then Can I use CWM to install a new ICS/JB rom?
Thank you so much.

1. GB use GB kernel, ICS use ICS kernel, JB use JB kernel. Don't mix up any of the kernels.
2. Yes, it's that simple.

Thanks for quick reply.
I want to confirm that I can:
1. flash a ICS/JB custom kernel to my Arc (still at GB, unlocked bootloader)
2. after flash kernel, use CWM to install a custom rom ICS or JB.
Still want to make sure this. Thanks.

Yes. CWM is already included within the custom kernel, so after you flash the kernel, enter the recovery immediately.
ICS/JB kernel will not boot into GB.

[Q] Forgot to flash the kernel before installing ICS beta rom with xperia arc

Hi all,
My phone is rooted and has an unlocked bootloader, but I tried to install this rom today:
MooDeD ICS ROM v.4.0 / xUltimate v7.0 Engine [ROM]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526717
But I forgot to flash the new boot.img (new kernel), wich I had to install using flashtool. Now I can't normally boot my Arc (I can understand why), but I also can't get into CWM recovery! So do I know have to flash the new kernel wich I had to do before.. or can I get Android 2.3.4 somehow back on my Arc? And if I flash the new kernel for ICS can I flash it back to the kernel for Gingerbread afterwarts? The new kernel is based on ICS beta btw.
I hope you can help me
Everything is working very well since I flashed the ICS kernel I am now running Mooded ICS rom v30.5 without any problems (few bugs in the rom, but overcomable)

I figured that flashing ICS kernel and install the rom again worked when I had flashed the kernel I could get back into recovery again Thanks for your reply
does the DoomLord Kernel work on a ICS rom? Or does it has to be the ICS kernell by DoomLord?! on other words on ICS Roms the kernel has also to be based on ICS?
That's correct as far as I know has to be ics

I don't recommend doomlord because it's a bit buggy, but there are plenty of usefull kernells. To make ICS work you will need ICS kernell

[Q] flashing new rom from gb to ics rom

i use arconium 7(gb) as my present rom but i want to upgrade into modded ics 90.2 lrs(ics).. im wondering if its ok if i just flash it directly to my phone or do i still have to flash stock ics firmware? any suggestions please?
you can directly jump from GB to ICS without flashing ICS firmware..but make sure you clean data and cache before installing ICS ROM
thanks!

But i think it's better to flash the stock ICS first for better performance and compatibility.
its doesnt matter... flashing an custom ICS ROM from GB is the same thing as flashing the stock ICS from GB, performance and compatibility will be changed in that ROM as well with other features.

Just wipe data and cache and flash MooDed.
but don't forget to flash an ics based kernel first!

[Help] Stock ICS Kernel with AOKP JB KXP for Arc S

Hi guys,
I don't understand if the ROM KXP need a custom Kernel or if works also with the stock ICS Kernel, with bootloader locked...I'm referring to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859518
Anyone can help me about this? Thanks and sorry for my bad english
The ROM will not work with stock kernel. If you want to flash custom kernel you should unlock bootloader.

A few cutom kernel questions :)

Hey ,
So I was thinking of flashing either Doomkernel or Lupus and I was wondering what are the advantages of flashing a custom rom other than ability to over and under clock ? Also is stock kernel more stable and should i stick to it or go for cutom kernel ? And which one of Lupus or Doomlernel you recommend and which one is better for battery ? Also Is custom kernel worth it If I am not going to over or under clock much ?
Also more importantly can I go back to stock kernel later if i want ?
Thanks
Use custom kernel and start overclocking. Thats all you need to know.

Yes u can go back to stock kernel by flashing stock.ftf file via flashtool there is a thread in general with all firmwares. Search for "xperia play firmwares". Also my kernel is based on DooMLoRDs but just updated/few more features. Personally I feel theres a difference. Try it out and see if u like it. If you dont just simply flash the STOCK ftf via flashtool and your back to the way it was.
