FAQ
1) Why we need to custom Kernel?
A. Changing Kernel will let you to overclock the CPU and you can run it at almost double the speed. Keep in mind the this speeds up the system, but drains the battery too fast.
2) Why do I need to unlock the bootloader and how to do it?
A. Hybrom do not have a boot image. When it is installed without unlocking the bootloader, the CWM recovery causes a few issues. This can be resolved only with an unlocked bootloader. The procedure to unlock Sony Ericsson bootloader officially is given earlier by us.
3) Where does we get the custom Kernel?
A. The ClockworkMod already comes with custom Kernel.
