That is for sure , no need to hope for it . 4.1 kernel wouldn't support 4.2 and vice versa unless Sony decided to launch " one kernel to rule them all " ........ Oh wait , Sony users wouldn't understand this term . Paiseh

This is suppose to be stock kernel for Nex7 for 4.2.1

Kernel: Linux version 3.1.10-g22b4fcd (android-build@vpbs1.mtv.corp.google.com) (gcc version 4.6.x-google 20120106 (prerelease) (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Nov 2 10:55:26 PDT 2012

And the reason u wan 3.7 is because of ?

LOL ..... u r here as well ah ?

Do u know your phone's hardware is only 32bit ARM ?

oh wait , u do know based on post #1020

yup i knw, but still want new kernel
bcauz of new multi-Rom support

ya but it's not on Xperia Z or ZL right ? What are the possibilities of them implementing it on XperiaZ if the hardware doesn't support ?

Sorry , I'm a lurker in most threads when I'm free but this thread ........

NVM , I thought KULI_ , the green guy was bad . Guess I was wrong . At least all he does is provoke ppl but he do have his knowledge and point to do so .......

we r in the wrong thread bro ....... This is a thread where ppl cannot accept the flaws of Xperia series and takes the good stuff of other models and turn it into flaws so Xperia Z will look flawless . Accept it guys aka fanboys , there's no perfect flawless phones out there . When u gain some , u lose some .

Multi ROM or multi boot ? There is a different , a lot of different ....... From what I know , Motley is multi rom

Multi roms makes thing easier for users n developers . Like Nexus 7 , there is 3G and non 3G version , so developers have to make 2 different kernels that support each . Inexperienced users or worst , lazy to read users will end up flashing the wrong version if not careful . With multi roms , there's only 1 kernel that works with both version . Also u have 4.1.2 and 4.2.1 and both requires different kernel . With multi rom supported , it works for both . That's for Motley's case . IF we look at Siyah's kernel , his multi rom enable users to use his kernel and load AOSP , CM , TW based roms inside . There's is no need 2 flash individual kernels for each rom . It's easier to find a kernel that supports both CM and AOKP as they r much related .

Multi-boot or dual boot for most case , so far on stock , think only XiaoMi has it for stock phone so far . U can keep 2 roms in the phone , selecting which to use upon boot-up . for Xiaomi's case , it has to be another MIUI based rom as well since it's kernel is only for MIUI . For custom kernel , again Siyah has it 2 , keeping 2 different rom in the phone eg CM10 and AOKP . There is another developer who based his work on Siyah and made a triple boot for it . Not many developers has this features as u need a kernel that can support the different ROM based .

Not only u get confused , I also get confused . He's like asking them to update it to 3.7 as it's referring to Sony when they update their phone to 4.2.1 . If its custom kernel , I'm sure the developers will use it even if it's 4.1.2 if they see fit .

Are u referring to stock or custom ? Cuz u r always not clear when u make a statement hence all the flames u get .

Yet not everyone is willing to root and flash custom kernel , I assume u know that since rooting void warranty . Why are u making assumptions for custom kernels for a device that have yet to be launched ? Also , if u r a flasher , u should notice XDA's Sony thread is not very popular with little development compared to others .
