I guess there is no rooting option available for Xperia Arc since Android 2.3 is still new in the market?

Has anyone rooted the Xperia Arc?

hey why don't you try search the forum and look in all the other treads about the same thing
[Xperia Arc General] QuentinCosta:
he brought his question to the SE ARC forum!

Im new to this site. i got an eris that was rooted i think or was already updated to a 2.1 from the htc official update thats how i bought it im not with verizon i got cricket so the place i bought it from flashed it for me to cricket.

i was reading forums on how to isntall custom roms and such and heres what i did...

i started off by downloading eris rooter followed the procedure on recovery i did a factory reset i wiped dalvik just basicly did what i was reading,then i installed kaosfroyo v39 on the recovery screen it successfuly installed i reboot it and i thought i had it.

everything was working fine phone calls even text messages except internet no internet at all i tried launching the browser and it would load but not do anything of course i did a backup so when i did a restore and went back to 2.1 my internet phone calls and text messages worked except my pic messages ive had this problem since i bought the phone

i know theres ways to get pic messages to work regardless even if my eris is flashed to cricket and i know i can get the internet to work on a custom 2.2 rom like kaos or celb etc but the question is how???

right now im successfuly running on xtrsense i got this rom to work by doing the same steps i mentioned above u know buy doing the wipes and such. xtrsense is running 2.1 which i dont like plus i still get no pic messages:( what am i doing wrong as far as me not having my internet working when running celbfroyo? is it not supported? or is it me???

if somone can help me with this i would highly appreciate it

thanks so much in advance:)

Is it possible to port the rom of the arc of play to our phone? or at least the games?
[XPERIA X8 General] bogdan_mihai554:
Too much hard work, we have to crack the bootloader, then we can put on our xperias whatever we like
[XPERIA X8 General] sanefirst:
Impossible - hardware is too much different.
[XPERIA X8 General] bogdan_mihai554:
That is true, but we can put Stock HoneyComb on X8(that's after we crack bootloader) and put it XPeria Play theme
[XPERIA X8 General] ThePietn1:
The Xperia Play has Android 2.3.3 (Gingerbread) on it.
[XPERIA X8 General] bogdan_mihai554:
Oh, sorry..:)) Then we can take an Custom Gingerbread, and put it Xperia Play Theme and there you go
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcparks:
I've got a Vibrant (Galaxy S) I recently bought off craigslist. It seemed to work pretty well when I first got it and gave it a factory reset. After about a week i noticed that people kept texting me to "pick up your phone" but the problem was it never rang, never even showed a missed call. If I restarted the phone, made a phone call, then everything would work fine for a few hours, then no more calls would come in. I've tested this in soooo many ways only to find that the trigger appears to be the data connection. I did try disabling data and every call went through just fine until data was restarted.

I've hypothesized that when my phone connects to data it is blocking the normal cell phone service, and never giving the phone priority back until I make an outgoing phone call.

I've tried redoing the factory reset, upgrading to Froyo with keis, Rooting & flashing Nero ROM (which is fantastic BTW), adding phone prioritizer script, running taskkiller, messing with various settings and I am getting nowhere.

I am somewhat new to how the samsung works hardwarewise (I'm coming from an HTC Dream G1) and really need some suggestions. I've been drawing blanks after Googling for days!! Please help!!

Weird. You're using 3G, right?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] |Melvin|:
Flash a flash a rom, a modem
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcparks:
Yes

I will try flashing a modem and post results in a bit, but so far I've been unable to understand what a modem is. Is that like a Radio or SPL? (again I am more familiar with G1 lingo)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcparks:
Alright, flashed kb1 modem. Working so far, I can receive calls and interrupt data session (market download, map, facebook, etc) I'll update if problem persists.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcparks:
Update: Still using KB1 modem (battery slightly worse) and BionixV

Went for a trip away from the house this weekend and calls went through flawlessly, so I'm thinking this could be a coverage issue.

However, whenever I turn data off at home, phone calls always work and I always have at least 2 bars. So probably some sort of a hardware issue? I still feel like it get's hung up on data hardware and isn't switching to cell phone mode.

Still looking for more ideas or contacts. Should I pursue contacting Samsung? Am I outta luck with this being a craigslist find?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcparks:
Had a buddy with access to small tools and some chip diagnostic equipment root around inside the phone. He said he found "3 circuits are shot all pins" Personally I don't know how a phone continues to work after that? Anyway, looks like I got burned on this craigslist find.

So if you have this problem, get a new phone... I'm just gonna pretend it is a mini tablet for now.

[Nook Color General] TheTodFather:
Got this working perfectly as you can see... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00UxoPJ5XsA

This app will let you stream media from your pc to your nook using Wifi.

Download from market vlc stream and convert. (mobile)

Download vlc media player (PC)

Make sure you have ports 5554 and 8080 open on your router. More then likely you already do!

For Pc install vlc media player then open and go to view > add interface> and click on Web interface. IF your running windows it will ***** about it but just click allow.

Make sure your firewall won't block the ports. So if it doesn't work just disable your firewall just to test to see if that is the problem.

Ok your done with the pc.

Now install the app and open it up on the nook

Go to menu then connect > scan > after scan it should find your pc. click OK. You should be connected.

If you have problems go to their home site and make sure you follow the steps www.traveldevel.com/vlc-stream-convert

Ok now for the magic...

Once connected you should be able to browse your computer for files.

Now your going to want to optimize it for the nook.

Go to menu settings >steam to phone (rtsp) >caching (in ms) set to 1000 , i use 500 but default is 2000ms and it will lag like hell.

Next go to H.264 AVC settings I have mine set at custom bitrate at 1024 frame rate is at 30 with is 640 and Canvas aspect ratio is 16:9 , I selected cavas crop and that's it!

Go back to settings and go to general > playback and I have Landscape and Portrait to "fit to screen".

Obviously if you don't have the paid version you will have to set bitrate at 768 and width at 480.

Hope you guys enjoy this cause this Rocks!

***edit had a little rips and tears in video so i adjusted the cache to 50ms and it seems to be completely gone.
[Nook Color General] xdajunkman:
I got this to work, but the video quality has to be set to 'dismal' to make it happen. I finally got streaming video read from my desktop to display on the Nook, but the video bitrate must be set as low as possible (128), and the video width nearly as low as possible (240). The resulting video quality is terrible, and still occasionally jumps and is out of sync with audio. I am trying to stream a straight DVD rip, so perhaps this is a problem on my desktops end not being able to decode, re-encode and stream all at the same time from a high quality source. Perhaps if the source video is downscaled a bit or changed to the same video and audio codecs to prevent the need to re-encode things might work better, but I gave up for the time being because the results I got were so dissapointing. I can stream my webcam input to the Nook with acceptable results, which is acutally why I bought VLC S&C to begin with, so not a total loss.

This has potential, but I think you need a rather buff desktop setup to get it to work well.
[Nook Color General] kirbfucius:
After spending a whole day learning about creating a VPN and accessing it both locally and remotely, I finally got it working!

I have decent quality running at 920 pixel width, but I haven't played around with bitrate too much just yet. I'm thinking I should be able to get it to be a bit better without creating massive buffer times.

I'm still running on the free version since I wanted to be sure I can get everything working right. I definitely want to toss a few bucks to the developer, but want everything set up so I'm not just annoyed when I do! :)

Edit:

So I've played around with this a bit more and have gotten decent quality streaming video playing over a VPN! Assuming you have successfully connected to your computer and can play video, try these settings:

Stream to Phone (rtsp) >

Video Codec: H.264 AVC

H.264 AVC Settings >

Video Bitrate: 768

Frame rate: 29.97

Width: 480

Canvas Aspect Ratio: 16:9 (854:480)

Movies of various qualities seem to have bit of grain but they're definitely acceptable to me.
[Nook Color General] TheTodFather:
OMG Thanks man! I got it to work! I did a few tweaks and I got to say it's working absolutely beautifully. I was trying to run everything as mp4 don't know why i didn't think to do x264 avc settings

I did what you did and used these settings

Frame Rate 29.97

Width 480

Canvas aspect ratio 16:9

Ok this is the trick to get it to work

Set "Caching (in ms)" from the default 2000ms to 1000ms and fixes the frame rate issue 100%. For all i know it could play at 60fps and I wouldn't notice any improvements. Smooth as butter. Resolution is comparable to a netflix stream so resolution is pretty good B+. In playback I adjusted the screen to see if i could stretch it out a bit but didn't really get it to 100 full screen, maybe about 70%. Going to do some more tweaking. Maybe even get the pro version now i know this rocks! BRB...

I just running this from wifi didn't have to do a vpn to get it work. I did make sure i opened the ports for 8080 and 5554 on my router just to be safe.

*************edit please buy the pro version it is much nicer!!! So these settings can be increased for better resolution and bit rates!!!!
[Nook Color General] TheTodFather:
Just posted a video up! Enjoy!
[Nook Color General] PeaInAPod:
I just use SubSonic. Install the program on your PC and the app on your Nook. No ports need to be open if your watching on your local network and only 1 port needs to be open if you want to watch remotely. Streams every music format under the sun and most video formats. For video it converts it all to Flash and lets you choose your Bitrate. I like it because I can lower the bitrate if on a slow link or even use it on my laptop.

edit - can't post url's until I pass some post limit. w-w-w.subsonic.o-r-g
[Nook Color General] TheTodFather:
I say that would be good for audio streaming. I didn't see anything on their site to actually stream video. However, i'm not saying they don't but VLC has a awesome rep for converting video and such for many years. I've had them i swear for at least 10.
[Nook Color General] tablo:
EDIT - Found the issue was that I had to set the Player mode to stream to phone (rtsp).

Thanks for the info. Trying to get this to work now. I now able to browse the files on my computer, but whenever I try to play a file it says "Cannot create play command!".

Same message if I try to file a video or mp3 file. I've made sure my ports are open. Any ideas?
[Nook Color General] EverythingNook:
can i download anytime file type like avi or does it have to be H.264 AVC.

so in other words can i download a movie and not convert it and it will still play?
[Nook Color General] tablo:
It will play avi files. I believe it will convert any of the many type of video formats that VLC plays.

Still working on tweaking my connection. The quality of the video is great but the lag is pretty bad. I tried mimicking your settings, Todfather (on non-paid). Great app but I need to figure out how to get a better fps.

I'm using CM7 and router is on wireless G connection.
[Nook Color General] TheTodFather:
Ahhh FPS fix was in the cache settings (2000 was default) when i had it at default it was a bit laggy, after i adjusted it to 1000 it was perfect then i just said screw it and brought it all the way down to 50ms still is fine! That may be overkill but what the hell. OH yeah i am also running CM7 with dalingrins OC kernel and have it set to 1.1ghz on interactive. I am not to learned in all the different formats but i played a mp4 mv4 h264 and a avi I think. But honestly I only download 264 cause i usually stream stuff to my xbox.

What are your settings now? I'm willing to help ya!

Ok here are my current settings

video codec h.264 avc

caching 50ms

bitrate is 1024 (paid) yours will be 720 witch is nice as hell but just not as nice as 1024

frame rate 29.97

width 640 (paid) yours will be 480

canvas ratio 16:9

anyone have any clue what reference frames do?
[Nook Color General] tablo:

I have tried many variations but cannot seem to get a better framerate. I should probably mention that I am using verygreen's SD installer for CM7 and Dalingrin's kernel with cpu OC'ed @ 1.1. Quadrant scores of 2k+.

I thought so ^^ Sd cards are just not as efficient has internal ssds. I tried running on a sd as well and just couldn't deal with the read write speads even though i was on a class 6 sandisk. Glad to hear you solved your problem
[Nook Color General] swapdotavi:
Ugh, I cant quite get this working. I've followed the steps on the devs page but I still cant stay connected. I'm using CM7 (Android 2.3) on my nook and Win 7 on my PC.

Of a fresh boot, (or wifi reset) I'm able to connect to my PC, browse folders, and start a movie. After about 30 seconds of video, (with badly off-sync audio, but that's probably another issue entierly) it drops the VLC connection and wont reconnect until I either reboot or reset wifi.

I know this sounds like the issue they warn about in the tutorial but I've disabled the password requirments both on the Nook's VPN setup and on my PC. I'm not sure what is causing the problem :(

Also, since setting up the VPN network on my PC my network connection icon in my system tray has had a red X on it. My internet works fine though, and when I right click -> troubleshoot windows just tells me it dosnt have enough information to fix the problem with no further error message of any kind.
[Nook Color General] grazzi:
This is awesome guys. It worked. The video play perfected, audio is a bit out of sync.

My PC is wired to Linksys G(bridge) with DD-WRT.

The NC is stock rooted with Auto-Nooter 3.0.0

VLC setting:

Caching:2000

Stream to Phone (rtsp) >

Video Codec: H.264 AVC

H.264 AVC Settings >

Video Bitrate: 256

Frame rate: 25

Width: 320

Canvas Aspect Ratio: 16:9 (854:480)

Canvas crop: uncheck

Portrait and Landscape video are set to fit screen.

Any helps for adjusting audio sync and import subtitles file(srt) would be great.

Thanks so much.
[Nook Color General] swapdotavi:
I'm still having issues. I cant connect unless it's off a fresh boot or wifi reset, and when I do connect the streaming lasts about 5 seconds before knocking me off and requiring another reset. Here is my setup

- CM7 (Android 2.3)

- VLC 1.1.8

- Win 7 64

- DIR 825 router

My steps so far are below. Note, I did the VPN setup before the "setup" setup because I am dumb :(

VPN:

- Created a new VPN user with a password using the same IPs they use in the example, (which I think are valid for me but I'm not sure how to definitively check) but unchecked "Require all users to secure their passwords and data".

- Set up a "Home Local" (but not "home remote" as I dont know what IP to use and I just want it to work on Wifi for now anyway) on the nook and disabled encryption.

- Made sure PPTP is enabled, and later forwarded the ports as well just in case that was the problem.

Setup:

- Removed the # from my local IP in .hosts. (Had to cut it out, edit it, then paste it back due to windows security)

- Started VLC web server. Allowed firewall exception. Manually confirmed exceptions were created for all TCP and UDP ports for VLC.

- Try and connect on my home network via the app on my nook. Fails with the problem I describe above.

Ugh. Anyone have any thoughts?
[Nook Color General] tablo:
Do I really need to setup a VPN if I am on a secured wifi network? A hacker would have to bypass the wifi WPA encryption before accessing anything on my computer, yes or no?
[Nook Color General] n8mack33:
Awesome, thank you so much. I have been trying to get this to work for a few weeks and finally got it working after I found this thread.
[Nook Color General] killrmonkey:
No, you don't need to setup a VPN if you only want to stream over your local network. The only point of the VPN is to get a local ip address so you can safely connect to your VNC server from a remote network.

I'm still having issues getting video streams to play back smoothly on my Nook. They play perfectly on my HTC Incredible with CM6, but attempting to play the same streams on my Nook results in choppy video with very bad audio sync. I've tried the settings suggested in this thread on both the stock rooted Nook, and on CM7 running at 1.1ghz off the emmc, with the same results. I'm stumped. Even adjusting the bitrate and size way down still exhibits the same problem.

I've also noticed the video pauses in the same exact spots in my test video.

Anyone else get this working smoothly?
[Nook Color General] chisleu:
My comments about VPN's were for my ability to stream video securely from my home PC to my nook at school.
[Nook Color General] robot8:
Glad I found this fantastic app that makes great use of the venerable VLC player. Setting up for my home wifi was a breeze and I was browsing and playing all my vids in no time.

Now, the only thing stopping me from purchasing the ad-free version is that no matter what settings I use, I am getting artifacts and blockiness every few seconds on every video I stream.

Assuming it wasn't the app or my wifi (which streams other stuff perfectly), I thought it might be the VLC player itself (running 1.1.8), I even tried 1.0.3 and 1.1.3 (as was suggested by the dev) to no avail.

Nothing gets rid of the annoying artifacts that come on and off. I have no idea why, I've tried all the recommended settings everyone has posted. I can run all of them with no problems except for the blocks/artifacts every couple of seconds.

Help me figure out and fix this please! After a glimpse of the potential awesomesauce that is streaming vids to my Nook, I can't ever go back to Pimpstreamer on my PSP!
[Nook Color General] stevemp:
Well that was easy. Followed the instructions and it took about ten minutes to set up. Only thing is, audio is out of sync. Any way to fix this?

CM7-dalingrin-OC-emmc-041311A with alsa update.
[Nook Color General] robot8:
First thing to try would be the "Synchronize on audio" setting. You could also try setting the audio bitrate if that doesn't work. Another would be the audio "desync" which is normally at -10ms but you can play around with that and see.

Lastly, if all else fails, you may find a different version of VLC player might work better. I had to downgrade my player from 1.1.8 to 1.1.3 for audio to sync properly. Not sure why but it seems finicky depending on which version of the player you use.

What version are you using? No artifacts in your video?
[Nook Color General] stevemp:
I was using 1.1.9. Installed 1.1.3 and the audio sync is fine now. The video quality is excellent. Thanks for your help, I've been trying to do this for quite a while.
[Nook Color General] killrmonkey:
THANK YOU! Reverting to VLC 1.1.3 fixed all the audio sync problems I was having.
