[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dolceka:
I am using Xperia Mini Pro SK17i rooted and bootloader unlocked working with stock kernel & stock ROM ICS .587... I have read some topics and threads but I am still a noob and I want to know some specific answers for the below questions if you can help me guys and I am sure that it is not only me who needs to know these answers..

1- What are the system apps on Xperia Mini Pro SK17i ICS .587 which can be safely uninstalled without affecting negatively on the device? "Please don't provide me with Arc S apps as they are not the same"

2- Can I install CWM through X-Parts app after I unlocked my bootloader or not? If it can't be so how can I install CWM on my unlocked bootloader device?

3- After installing CWM, I want to take a backup from my current ROM on my SD card.. Will the backup be for the ROM only or the ROM and the kernel? And how much space will I need on the SD for this backup or it depends on what?

4- If the backup will be for the ROM only so how can I take a backup for the stock kernel or how can I get it?

5- After I will take the backup through CWM, I want to install a custom kernel to be working on the stock ROM in order to make overclocking for my CPU but I don't have a PC to do it through flashtool, so Can I do it through CWM? If yes so please tell me how?

6- I will very much appreciate your support to suggest me some kernels can work with my stock ROM and supports overclocking and increase total RAM if it is possible as I searched about kernels but I found that most of them support CM9 & CM10 & Some other custom ROMs.. I am looking for some kernels like the stock kernel to be working on the stock ROM and provide me with all device features but can support overclocking and increase RAM if it is possible as the stock kernel doesn't support this. "I am not asking about best kernel, I just want to know which kernels can support the overclocking and increase RAM and at the same time working on the stock ROM"

7- I have 2 partitions on my SD card 16 GBs (KingStone Class 2) "EXT2 & FAT32".. How can I add swap file "RAM" to the EXT2 partition? And will it affect on my SD card negatively or make its life time shorter or not? And what about zRAM on EXT2 partition, is it available or no? If yes so please tell me how to do it.

8- Anyone found any market enabler app for Play store after it is updated to version 4.0.27? If yes so please provide me with the app name or link and I will very much appreciate it.

9- If I am a hard gamer so should I activate Force GPU Rendering & Don't keep activities from "Settings > Developer Options" or not? What they really do? Or if you have any suggestions for gamers on SK17i please tell me about it and I will test any then feed you back.

10- If I want to make a guide for the newbies "Noobs" to share them my experience and to make it easy for them, shall I post it in general or development? And should I refer back to someone before I post the guide "Keeping in mind that I will mention the people who helped me out with their posts or threads and I will add their links"? If yes so please tell me who?

I am so sorry for all these questions but I believe in you guys and I will very much appreciate your usual support.

Best Regards,
