Even an ICS kernel with nothing more than Clockwork would help development for the device greatly, and be much appreciated.

We Only need CWM to start playing, PLEASE!!! I know that Doomlord is really busy now, I think it's better to ask keiran or FXP...

Check out recoverx thread. A solution has been found. We will have a custom recovery in 2-3 weeks.

hi. as i prefer also gingerbread 2.3.7, what is the recommended CWM to go together with this rooting... i don't think the usual cwm i see around the threads work on GB, cos they are for ICS, but if i am wrong please point me to the correct direction.

i was under the impression that GB is faster than ICS because that is the case on my Arc. now on Xperia U (dual core), is ICS better?

had gb only for a day b4 i got upgraded to ics. i use custom roms now. ics is ultimately better (app compatibility, more features), but smoothness/speed wise i think even stock gb was faster n used less ram.

exactly... that's why i prefer GB on arc, and i want to maintain it also on xperiaU. i feel my arc is a bit more smoother than xperiaU... i think this is not more on the cpu, but rather on the GPU.

in any case, this may be the only GB custom ROM, and i will try it when I have time.

from that same link i got the good working CWM for gingerbread, which is "Supercharged Kernel by Vitophone".

    I understand, but you shouldn't worry, there are many devs interested in this phone.
    I being one of them will be quick to create custom kernel once I get my device (month or 2) and I will be working in the FreeXperia team to bring CM9 to this device :)

    Although, I wouldn't say I am as good as DooMLoRD, I'm sure you will enjoy the work of me and other developers :)

    this kernel is only for GB, not for ICS, use munjeni's or keiran's kernel for CWM
