O. Acro S. WOW. Water Proof, Dust Proof..... but ain't Root Proof haha

haha...love it....I'm totally going to steal that one....

@sirkay, I have been looking around for instructions on how to install recovery onto the system partition...I can find a lot of tools that do it, but not really a step by step...you wouldn't happen to have any idea of how to do it or know of a good tut?

its been a while i didnt research for android thingy. new xperia has available in market (in my country), so im gonna grab acro S this month coz of price reduced

it´s really bad that is no more kernel developing for ray from u sirkay, no one else of kernel developers is realy reliable(i´m talking jb kernels), there is no uv, or there is wifi problems or high power consumption and more :(

sorry mate .. i couldnt get an used ray to continue my kernel for ray. dont have enough fund. i would love to test JB and make a good kernel for it before i move to 2012 device, but unfortunately i cant :(

Sorry mate...I wasn't asking for you to do any research or anything else that sounds like "work"...I thought maybe you would know how they used to drop recovery into the system partition back when it was impossible to unlock Sony's bootloader....you and funiewski have fun with your new devices....I' m not sure a waterproof device is always a good idea....one of my student's dropped her iphone in a toilet and decided that it wasn't worth fishing out...now if it was waterproof, she really wouldn't have had that option....:laugh:.

bad luck for her:silly: but waterproof is not the important option for me, more size and performance, i do not like the size of S3, one s was an option but no sd slot and no replaceable battery, i had hoped for xperia sx but it will not happen

feel sory for your student. waterproof doesnt matter to me, the processor and ram plus it has cards slot and still using mini-sim does count. also more important is the price, reasonable :)

What maximum frequency of overclocking the Ray is regarded stable and safe, and also doesn't drain the battery too much?
I don't want to experiment on it and mistakenly fry the CPU, so maybe you guys can tell me the recommended settings.

Cheers!

Cheers!

Setting to 1.4ghz would be smooth and safe, and Install No frills so that it uses the CPU as per the needs and keeps the frequency to minimum on Standby mode

governer: Smartassv2

I/o:noop

Note: Also depends on what Rom u use

Here
@sriharsha2172 - I am on the PACman ROM. So 1.4Ghz and the rest of the settings you mentioned will work fine on that?

i'm on pac rom too. 1,4 Ghz is safe, smarassv2/noop or smartassv2/sio works great for battery saving. (I use szl.kiev's kernel only with min 134 mHz - max 1 Ghz smartassv2/sio)

    ## xKERNEL##
    First Thing First: How To Install Custom Kernel
    1) You need to UNLOCK BOOTLOADER using one of these method. I'm NOT responsible of what you've decide. Please follow instruction carefully.
    -> S1tool
    -> Sony Mobile - Unlock Bootloader
    2) Get this awesome tool called Flashtool and install. Dont forget to install usb drivers from "Drivers" folder too.
    3) I assume you have download one of my kernel. Get into Fastboot mode. How? Do i have to repeat how? Press "Volume Up" while connecting your USB cable. you'll see Blue led.
    4) Click "Flash" button on Flashtool, then select Fastboot Mode.
    5) Choose "Select Kernel to Flash" and find your saved kernel. I'm not gonna find it for you.
    6) Once completed, reboot device into system

    THESE IS FINAL, NO LONGER MAINTAINED
    HTML:
    Those version below was a final version xKernel for Xperia Ray. I might on a new
    device next week due someone already booked my ray. Ive planned to give the
    last version using 4.1.B.0.587 but unfortunately source published by Sony was
    corrupted. Sorry guys, i cant afford to keep my ray. This is it.
    Thank you for using my kernel.
