Thanks XperienceD but, try to find rom´s 2.3.7, and in the link that you post only there roms 2.3.4 and 4.0.4, i´ll like use gb 2.3.7 cause 4.0.4 y a lot slower and the consumption of RAM is so high
2.3.4 is the last SE official GB ROM. Most of the Roms are based on that. Only CM 7.2 is GB 2.3.7, but battery drains fast.

I recommend the one in my signature, which is ICS custom ROM. But GB Arconium 8.2 is very good, especially for gaming.
If you want to stay on official, definitely GB.

You are on a dangerous brick-bug kernel and you mustn't flash any other Rom directly. This is how to do it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30182739&postcount=6909
Replace 'Asylum' in this little instruction with 'CM10'.

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:
[URL="http://www.mediafire.com/?u6h448v3p91iovv"]http://www.mediafire.com/?u6h448v3p91iovv[/URL]
[URL="http://www.mediafire.com/?s2s1rg30uinbuuj"]http://www.mediafire.com/?s2s1rg30uinbuuj[/URL]
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

Hope Dooms ramdisk is compatible with out rom! I can not see reason for using custom kernel since our device flying with stock kernel but allso since our phone is quadcore I thinking now about http://www.s21.com/sar.htm and don't trust any overvolting like some kernels have non oficially! I think that changing voltages is bad idea since increasing voltage to some chips maybe will increase S.A.R value which is not good for head or body! So think about that !

Thanks for the heads up, yeah the doom kernel for our z1 compact is stock, doom only adds CWM. I agree our phones are fast enough what would be the point of overclocking, underclocking or messing with voltages as battery life is great as well.
I'm more worried about privacy, I will be happy if some good developers contribute here in Privacy Guard implementation! I will start that probably tommorow and seccond day, allready have 70 percent implemented, rest is hard since libbinder will be a problem (probably I will need to use AOSP libbinder and use some changes from CM11 ) , hope we all done that soon. Progress will be on git soon.
You are right about failed install message in CMW! Zip downloaded from git can not be installed! I must make rom manyaly and give you new link for download, sorry!

No bugs, but only 4k video is not working, eerything other is working (background defocus, portrait retouch, timeshift video (no 120fps but its working ok with ~40-~60fps), china photo editor, shortcuts for 4k and timeshift booth in camera drawer + camera widget). Just to inform all, nothing is modified in stock camera so there will be no problems, only patched things is pathed Z2 camera things, so you will have definitelly no problems in cam since I not used copy paste from other ports!
Next step... laynch flash tool, chose latest kitkat ftf...

Yup, it is somewhat same, except the kernel doesn't have inbuilt recovery. You can do it without PC, provided You have a working TWRP. So instead of flashing the first carbon boot.img, just do the steps after step 7.
If i do this without PC my phone wouldnt have a inbuilt kernel recovery? And in reverse ?
This option is really important ? Steps 1-7 are for people who have blocked bootloader and they install software with cwm or twrp yea :3?
This CM 12 is final version not beta ?

If You had flashed the recovery to fotakernel (i.e. by process similar to this method) then You will retain Your recovery. The CM12 ROM kernel doesn't have inbuilt recovery.
Steps 1 to 7 are for people who don't have recovery.
All the steps require unlocked bootloader. You cannot install Kitkat or Lollipop ROM's on locked bootloader on Xperia S.
Current CM12 version is beta, there won't be a final version, as even CM is under development, Our device is not supported officially and new feature are always introduced.
Also, once You unlock bootloader, there is no need to unlock it again, even if You flash the stock firmware.
Thread starter asked for a stable rom. CM12 has a long way to go before being stable.
