[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] joeryu:
cwm recovery method didn't work, just froze on installing. Adb worked fine. Love the theme, one bug I notice is black on black text on the clear button when you pull the notification bar down. Otherwise seems good. Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Nottach:
Cool, Im going to take the CWM zip down until I figure out why it's not working.

Im aware of the notification clear button, and the active tab (such as in alarms). they will be fixed in the future.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] joeryu:
Thanks for your work on this! Minor issues, still completely usable. My favorite theme so far.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Nottach:
What do you think of my bootanimation idea? not sure where to go with it.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] joeryu:
maybe have the letters come on to the screen one by one with some kind of animation, then after have the glowing effect you have on the letters to fade in and out. just an idea, the logo / font looks great.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Nottach:
Good suggestions, Thanks
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Nottach:
Heres v2 of the boot ani i'm working on.

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] joeryu:
Wow, that is slick. So when can I download? :)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Nottach:
Tomorrow, my girl just got here. :)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] joeryu:
Nice, understood playa. :)

What software are you using to make the animations?

edit: noticed another bug, i don't know if its just me but the battery icon on the notification bar skips 90, it goes from 100 -> 80 when circle battery widget goes from 95 -> 94.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Nottach:
Using AE CS5.

Thats all on the Atrix. The Atrix only allows for 6 icons while unplugged (discharging). 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 just made most sense to me.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] joeryu:
ah ic. man 1% increments would be awesome in your current theme format. circle battery widget will have to do till then.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] moneyrain:
could you please update this theme for gingerblur 3.x?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] jimbush3:
BTW, I totally jacked your idea for the circle wireless icon in the status bar - just looks so hot. So here's a thanks in return.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Nottach:
I've actually been running this. Didnt get many DLs last time so I didn't bother uploading it. Here you go, http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RMZD29YK

thank a lot Nottach

OP:

The download link to the theme is invalid. Can u pls re-upload.

Thanx
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Nottach:
This version is no longer developed since its for outdated firmware. Check out my new thread for the 4.1.83 firmware. You will find this theme there.

Ok guys the Dcomo SO-01c (japanese xperia) has been successfuly unlocked and working on the U.S 3G network

so you dont have to wait for SE USA or Rogers no more

the bands it uses are

GSM/GPRS/Edge 850/900/1800/1900

UMTS/HSPA bands 1/2/5/6

which is equivalent to 2100/1900/850/800

possibly WCDMA for verizon will work (correct me if i am wrong) which is a big positive on this japanese version , another positive is being available in three colors.

blue

pink

silver

the phone comes with a 16gb memory card

i ordered the pink color for someone and i will order a silver one for myself

so you dont have to wait for SE USA or Rogers no more

i am so glad that this has worked after so many people have doubted that it would work and been told not to waste my money.

i dont want to waste your time explaining my story on how i got the courage to risk trying one and how i found out it will work, but if you want to know i will gladly answer ur questions.

i found a japanese seller that happened to know some english and willing to help and luckily he had an ebay account.

he sold me the phone for $770 including superfast shipping. he said he could sell it to me for $720 on paypal but i chose ebay since it was my first time.

if you can find other sellers good luck . the phone at docomo is around $600 without shipping

i got called by FCC to fill a form and send it to them to be able to get cleared by customs which i did.

when i got the phone all i did was unlock it using ezSEMC and purchased 10 credits from a provider and took about 1 minute to unlock.

http://www.2shared.com/document/F9cAO3Z5/xperia_arc_unlock_instructions.html

it can also be unlocked via entering unlock code provided by cellunlocker.net($8) or other different sites

all you have to do is flash the LT15i rom or the Lt15a rom and you will be able to get the unlock code screen

user morita0107 has unlocked it by entering an unlock code after flashing the LT15 rom on it(same way as x10)

3G popped the moment i put the APN settings which i got help from nimche who has been a great deal of help and support. He has also uploaded the rom for the LT15a which i will flash later on.

download LT15a rom from here (thanks Nimche)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13206058&postcount=110

APN AT&T 3G settings provided by Nimche(show him thanks)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13206058&postcount=110

thank u NIMCHE and also

shutterpark

ferraripassion

morita0107

feel free to ask any questions . (Nimche can also answer if i get busy)

i have an ebay invoice up for grabs if anyone wants it for the black color

and i can contact the seller to prepare one for you if you want silver or pink

i have flashed the device with the LT15a rom and everything is working fine, even the Docomo logo in the begining dissappeared

[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Good job. Finally you got your hand on an arc. at least I am not alone anymore.

When are you getting yours?
[Xperia Arc General] batman_112:
Glad it worked out for you! Enjoy your phone! :)
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
i ordered one today, and the seller was so impressive shipping so fast. if he ships today i will get it on monday
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
thank you

but its not mine . i have ordered a silver one
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Nice, why I can't see you in IM? You are hiding.... Its nice. So decided to get Midnight blue?

Since I was forced into Midnight blue but now every time I look at my phone I want to die. It is very nice. Clean and wonderful.
[Xperia Arc General] batman_112:
I have a question for you. Where do I get ezSEMC? Is there an official website or something? I googled and came up with nothing.
[Xperia Arc General] batman_112:
Nice choice. I am debating whether to go for one or wait until the Arc successor is released? I am confused! :confused:
[Xperia Arc General] adibaiz:
T-Mobile 3G

Would the 3G work on T-Mobile or is it only for AT&T?
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Only ATT. Tmobile needs 1700 frequency which arc doesn't support and I have not seen any in production. Sorry
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
You want Acro? It coming this summer but it is not as thin as arc... @ this point I won't want to lose this thinness to NFC and Infrared but phone is nice.
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
good question

i have just updated and added the bands that work on it . check back above.

im not sure what t-mobile uses i will check tonight and update if 3G works on tmobile

i guess nimche has answered

switching to att might work since tmobile might dissapear anyway
[Xperia Arc General] adibaiz:
Man, i hate it, there no unlocked phones that would work on the 1700mhz for T-Mobile....i want to get a new phone but i have nothing to choose from...any suggestions? Thanks.
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Can you get online when you can. I have to ask some questions. Whenever...

Thanks.
[Xperia Arc General] solidkevin:
$720 is WAY too much for me.....

I wish I could get it for $600...
[Xperia Arc General] omfg:
This is fantastic news.

However... just one question remains for me:

Bootloader. Are you carrier-locked or free as the air we breathe?
[Xperia Arc General] zeorai:
You'll need 1700 mhz to get 3G on Tmobile, which the Arc doesn't have. If you can live with edge only on Tmo then no prob. No manufacturer supports AWS (1700 mhz) unless it's a Tmo US phone.

WCDMA actually refers to GSM band 850/1900 (I think those are the frequencies), regardless it is a GSM distinction not what you think of in the US as CDMA. So no, it won't work on Verizon. Even if it was a CDMA device you'd still have to get VzW to allow it's ESN on their network and that's not easy, not saying it's impossible, just difficult.
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
well this phone in japan is not even used with sim card. Docomo uses cdma .

but i connot confirm the verizon thing.

i have tried a tmobile sim and it is only working on Edge, but the speed is OK.
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
i can't confirm this now , all i have done is network unlocked it and it is working on the AT&T 3G.

now i am flashing the LT15a rom that nimche has uploaded.
[Xperia Arc General] TehFoz:
That is entirely incorrect. DoCoMo uses SIM cards on all of their phones.
[Xperia Arc General] Meth3d:
I just wanted to confirm that tethering does work. The option was not available on the Japanese rom but it is on the LT15i/a roms. I do not even have the tether data plan and it worked just fine. :)
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
I guess my Karma helped you to have LT15a ROM on your phone right now? Where is my money? :D
[Xperia Arc General] kitsVA:
I just completed 24 hours with my lovely Arc (should I say SO-01C?). I am still on the original Japanese ROM and might stay on it for a while as I still didn't find a reason to change it as it's freak'n smooth and fast even with all the widgets I put on the home screen.

I showed it to several of my friends and colleagues at work. Everyone freaked out on how 'nice' it looks and they got shocked when they took it into their hands. It's really light and feels even lighter because you expect that size screen to feel heavy like HTC Thunderbolt, etc. Couple of them wanted to order it already but suggested they wait couple of weeks for Rogers version to flood ebay - that keeps me a geek too for couple more weeks before anyone gets it :-). Also, I didn't tell the really price I paid as they will look at me like I am an idiot :-(.

I still need to get used to the relocation of back/menu buttons. Also, the camera button operation is little tricky to press without shaking the phone. So, I just enabled the touch click in menu to reduce the shake. Other than that, I don't have any issues with the phone yet :-).

I need to reassign all images to my contacts as google stores low resolution versions that look terrible on our lovely screen. Even the Facebook images are low resolution while on X10 with 2.1 stock ROM, Facebook images were fine except with the aspect ratio.

Currently using SwiftKey. Need to figure why Swype is not letting me install the keyboard. Maybe, I need to disable it on my X10.

A picture I took today at a Thai restaurant :-). Lighthing is very low inside the restaurant and the flash auto-fired.
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
just went against an iphone 4 on youtube video quality

my arc's processor was much faster, mine started and his was slow and he started to say maybe we should try another video. lol .

the video resolution was a tie but the Arc was much brighter
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
ok staus looks good

hope you get it tonight
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
yummy

beautiful picture. thanks for the photos and updates.

im still on the japanese rom too and havent decided to change or not.
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Fedex Update:
[Xperia Arc General] PAVNEET101:
thats awesome, i am in usa right now and am originally from India so i decided to order one from india, so i told my dad to send me one over and will be arriving tomorrow............but i am really sad now cause i also wanted the japanese version so that i could use the 3g :( is there any way that the 3g will work on the indian xperia arc ???? please let me and if not then i still have to keep it i guess bad luck for me :( but please let me know the same though

thank you
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Do you have the specs?

Edit:

batman_112 has already answered you Q, you could always sell it and buy the other one. Is it unlocked?
[Xperia Arc General] batman_112:
No. The Indian version is the "i" version. So you will only be able to use EDGE and not 3G.
[Xperia Arc General] PAVNEET101:
u mean the model number ??? if yes then it is LT15i and the docomo version is LT15s??
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Docomo is SO-01c and North America is LT15a
[Xperia Arc General] PAVNEET101:
Thank you very much ..............but my day is ruined badly though this was my favorite phone but without 3g is useless and what a waste of money but thank you anyways i wish have looked up this page before ordering one:(
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
like they said, sell it on ebay and allow shipping worldwide cause no one in the u.s will benefit.

browsing will be OK . but youtube will cut a lot on EDGE

good luck
[Xperia Arc General] kitsVA:
If you can just send it back to India. Maybe store will exchange for something else your family can use there. Or list is on ebay as a 7 day auction with international shipping to paypal verified accounts and you should probably get out with less loss than holding it for long.

Get the Rogers version of Arc in couple weeks. It probably will cost less than getting it from Japan.
[Xperia Arc General] Photophobia:
Mine also did not come today. Yes, it is we who suffer most..... with the possible exception of the victims of violent crime.
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
im guessing its not fedex's best days

did you get a tracking number Photophobia ?
[Xperia Arc General] Photophobia:
I ended up getting a different person today. He said SO-01C is not one of the phones that they can unlock even in the Japanese stores. Even if it was, he said they are not set up to handle unlocks at the USA stores. So that kind of sucks, but whatever.
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
well i was guessing they wern't going to help, but it didnt hurt to ask.

get your self ready to unlock so that when you get it tomorrow it will be ready.

i have uploaded the instructions on the very first page

goog luck
[Xperia Arc General] Photophobia:
I did. They are now expecting delivery before 10:30am.

Yeah, it is not a great day for FedEx. They have a major hub in Memphis and were basically shut down last night due to the bad weather. As a result they are not honoring their money-back guarantee on shipments inbound from international locations that were due to be delivered today!
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
That sucks. My package is still in transit from Oakland, CA since 1 PM (it has been 9 hours :eek: )

Anyways, I hope that it will be delivered tomorrow...

Unlock credits are there,

software is installed

Lt15a ROM ready to be flashed

X10 ready to be sold

Arc case will be delivered tomorrow

Me, ready for silver arc...
[Xperia Arc General] kitsVA:
I am thinking to hold X10 until Gingerbread upgrade is out. I am hoping to squeeze a little more plus I get to see how X10 performs with Gingerbread. I have a feeling it will be just as good as Arc for regular use like browsing, maps, etc and Arc excels with video and games.

What case did you get? I somehow never liked cases even though I tried pretty expensive one's on iPhone and X10. I even have this X10 case I bought from Japan and took it off after few days. I cover the screen with cheap screen protectors from ebay and cover the back with Zagg full-body.

I order full-body Clear Protector since they have 50% off coupon currently.
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
.

Its retarded. My phone now is stuck @ LA.

Anyways, Case I got is THIS

I always get the full body case and always leather. This is not as calssy as my X10 case which is custom made and its says Xperia X10 on it(I will put some photos up here when I get arc and a family photo of arc and x10) but it will do the job.

I would like to move on and sell the X10, it served the purpose for me and its time to find a new owner. I can't even compare X10 with arc in any dimensions.

If you guys got some nice photos then update us with kick ass pictures.

Cheers,
[Xperia Arc General] kitsVA:
I will upload a family pictures of my Xperia collection and Sony Ericsson Collection later day :-).

I email to Beyza if they will have a case for SE Arc. Looks like they completely stopped making cases for anything that's not apple now and few BBs. I used to have a case for iPhone and it was top notch quality. http://www.beyzacases.com/. I remember when I paid only $32 for the case. Now, the prices have gone North but I think they send out coupons quite often.
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Finally, the ARC got to San Diego.

Photos from Sony stuff? how much do you have? i will take photos too, then.

I have to admit that I am more like sony's fan boy.

BTW, the case was really nice, and the price is not as bad for a nice case. You buy crappy ones in apple store for more than $25/
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
this is the best Screen protector

http://www.sgpstore.com/cell-phone/...-screen-protector-steinheil-ultra-series.html

they have 4 kinds . you can change between them by choosing different colors.

the antifingerprint one was awesome on my x10( never needed to wipe the screen)

i ordered the zagg full body and im thinking about getting the Steinheil on the screen.

whoever gets their phone today , dont forget to post pictures.

Nimche " when you get the device ask fedex to give you back shipping fees"

you can use it to get the dock you wanted . loool
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
You say it but How can I get the money back?:D
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
act angry and call for the manager or something , tell them they messed up a meeting you had to exhibit the phone . lmao :)
[Xperia Arc General] kitsVA:
Frankly, not many as I sold most of them or passed on to my family in India. Currently, I have W995a, C905a, W300, and in Xperia - Arc, X10a, X8a, and X10amini :D.

The phone that excited me the most when I received was W910i. I remember I was the first one to own in US among Howard Forums members and I freak'n paid over $500 for it. Luckily, I bought squareTrade warranty and they gave me full $500 back after almost a year. It had no problems except a small tiny screws thread got messed up and I thought they will get a new screw. Instead, they refunded my $500. And now Arc!
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
take my SE P990 to join the picture
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
So did everyone get teabags with their phone ?

so when can we start the tea party here ?

anybody else getting it 2day besides nimche ?
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
I will, then we share the money :D

Screen protector you shared the link is good. We installed it on my wife's iPhone 3G when she had it and it was really good. I may get her another one for iPhone 4./
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Holy crap. Are you attached to your gadgets? you don't sleep with them, do you? Just kidding. Its nice to have them. If I had the money I would kept my X1 and P1 as I loved both of them.
[Xperia Arc General] kitsVA:
I got one bag and a laminated hand note like you got. I am ready to have it today as the weather is ideal for a tea today here in Washington DC with heavy rains.
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
there is an unlocked rogers xperia arc (black) for sale on ebay

$876.70

+$51.20 shipping

the people that didnt get the japanese version for price reasons can now order this.

canada is closer than japan so you they can make a statistical analysis on if they made a good decision on waiting

Nimche made a close prediction by saying it will be around $850usd $650(device) + ebay fees + paypal fees + shipping fees + Seller profit .
[Xperia Arc General] kitsVA:
I am going to sell all of them. My wife is using X8 and I was lazy to list X10 mini for sale. I plan to keep W995a as it's freak'n awesome build quality and it probably is the last of the best feature phone from SE. I wish SE add smart dialing feature to their Android dialer. It was implemented so well on their feature phones. Even the MMS implementation was terrific on it.
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
It says on FedUp delivery truck. Give my my $200 shipping fees and I got a Xperia arc for free.
[Xperia Arc General] kitsVA:
I think Fedex only credits the shipper :-(.
[Xperia Arc General] rajeshr:
Or one can find someone from Canada on these boards willing to ship to you. :D

Actual cost is:

$549 + tax (12%) = C$615 (US$650); should be even less if you find someone to buy it in Alberta (tax is 5%).

Total including shipping + fees should be around US$725.
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Got the phone :eek:

Unlocked :eek:

Flashed with LT15a ROM :eek:

Didn't see Japanese Video came with the original ROM :eek:

Very nice :eek:

can't say anything else...

BTW, photos coming after break!
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Oh.....

My phone is rooted....

@alsaqr, I saw all those colors for that screen protector, what is the difference?

I get fingerprint on screen and only there. God bless this Silver, that Midnight blue was a hassle to clean:((
[Xperia Arc General] borkedarc:
Cheers for all the info in here.

I just bought me a code from totalgsm but I guess he's in bed for the next six hours. I want to get this sorted tomorrow because I'm going away for a week and this thing just feels nicer than my HTC Desire. Not that I ever had a problem with that, it was ace.

...I do have a bit of a problem paying 50 dollars to something that phonetically sounds like total jism. My missus might see the receipt.
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
I didn't know I had that option. Thanks for the insight.
[Xperia Arc General] kitsVA:
Did any of you able to use MMS with Japanese ROM? I did the settings posted here in the earlier pages but I don't even have an option to select attachments to Messages. I have to use email to send pictures.

Also, the birthday's for contacts which I enter in Google contacts are not showing on Contacts Info while they show fine on X10 with 2.1.

Are these issues not there with LT15a ROM? Maybe I will flash it before I waste any more time assign nice pictures to my contacts :-(
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
I have never used MMS. If you tell me how, I will try it for you.

Edit:I just sent a photo thru sms and it worked.
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Photo Time. I included the photos from Midnight Blue ARC.

Enjoy!
[Xperia Arc General] kitsVA:
My Xperia Family Portrait

So, Japanese ROM has that disabled. Looks like I need to root and flash. Or can I flash without rooting?

Today, I applied the Clear Protector to the battery cover but didn't want to apply to the screen as I see it already had a screen protector applied to it just like SE did with X10. Are you guys still applying screen protector to it? I remember when I did that to X10, I feel the screen response deteriorated a little.

More pictures but sorry for lousy DOA on these pictures. Took with NEX-5 and contax G 45mm manual focus lens without my glasses and forgot to change the aperture settings.

SE Xperia Android Family

Clear Protector applied to battery cover
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Nice photos. You don't need to root for flashing a ROM. You can just use Flash Tool and use the file I provided in that thread and dump it in the firmware of flashtool folder. let me know if you got questions.
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
give these photos to SE to use on their website

these r freekin awesome photos

ur device is looking dashing

so is our tea party 2day or when lol

congrats nimche

i will upload the video for the video on the japanese rom before i flash it.

welcome to our xperia tea group lol

we are having new groupies joining
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Actually thanks to you to make this happen for us. the phone looks sick specially when the screen is off:D

Are you getting that screen protector. I am putting fingerprints on mine like crazy(screeN) thinking about getting one.

Actually one thing to mention mine is not a tea:eek: it says Matcha Cappuccino. He gave me a more expensive one.
[Xperia Arc General] kitsVA:
Video's are on the memory card. So, we don't lose them if you flash.
