Acessing Mediafire

For accessing blagus mediafire Folder you need to be a registered user i found out =)

But still no files uploaded ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] festa20:
U song need to be registered to look through the folders I just looked and there is files and things in the folders
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
You don't have to be registered to view Mediafire folder contents and download files.

And please don't mirror once I start uploading files.

I got new SD card. Trying to find out how to check lib dependencies normally without crashing the phone.

Since last time when I gave ETA, it failed, I won't be giving ETAs anymore. Just wait. I'll post progress regularly, so don't worry.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] icbruzzler:
folders

For accessing files not but in first post he linked on his mediafire profile i think and to view that you must be registered i think.

But now concentrate on porting CM7 looking forward on alpha release
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
Thanks for pointing this. Fixed now.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] thintin:
Keep up the good work blagus, I haven't yet started on the path of ROM development (haven't even got Linux installed yet!) and am eagerly watching this thread :-)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
@blagus,

not sure if it make difference but I have unlock bootloader on LT15a in case you want to test for a different model. I don't think it makes much of difference.

Let me know if my phone is needed.

Thanks for your development.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Viish:
I'm available too if you need a LT15i to test your rom.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
Yes, I'd really like you to test it on your phone too, although it shouldn't be different because radio is intact anyways...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
I swear, I didn't know that you don't have the phone yourself till this morning. That sucks. I wish we could chip in but it expensive. Do you have any dates for pre-alpha release. I hate when the SD card goes bad....

Anyways, thanks for being here and create some support for arc community.I wish that I could move forward with this. Is there any instruction somewhere how to modify img files? that may be a good start for me.

Thanks Blagus.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TripNRaVeR:
Hello,

I'm TripNRaVeR developer for xperia x10, i'm building 1-on-1 port of the Arc rom. Now i need some files and i hope you can provide me them. I need dramaticly the init.rc file (located in / ).

Can you or someone else please send me all that is in there?

You would help me very much!

Goodluck with your rom!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
There you go.

Lt15a on 181
[Xperia Arc Android Development] MR_EVIL:
thankgod..........u r the man....would love to see miui rom........on xperia arc
[Xperia Arc Android Development] festa20:
Trip is making rom for x10 but arc rom on to the x10 mate I think u read it wrong
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TripNRaVeR:
Thank you very very much!!! I see some info that possibly will fix my issue. I'm here now so i could ask you about i guess. If you mind then please tell me.

The issue what i have now is that i have trouble with playing audio and video on the rom. Logcat saying that drmmanagerservice is not published. Is that fixed with drmserver and drmioserver up and running? Would you try to rename those files on your rom? drmserver to drmserver.bak and same for the other one?

And if you wanna do then please tell me the results. If i can help you with something on your rom then feel free to ask. (thinking of buying Arc myself btw, SE fanboy :D)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
Trip, you have PM ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zenkinz:
Hi peeps

Anybody knows how likely we are going to see a cm7 for arc, weeks or months?

Like to get arc but this will be one of the consideration factor.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] PollPixx:
As you can read, we are all in the waiting room, but at least some people are working on it. Time will tell, we all hope it is coming soon, but we don't rush those guys, as they are doing it free and in their spare time. So it's impossible to give you an exact answer...

Sent from my arc or optimus 2x
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zenkinz:
I know how "dynamic" timeline is because i myself were in their shoes before. So i am definitely not demanding a timeline but perhaps from the developers themselves to give a high level indication on the cm7 readiness. Think i am being fair to ask if the work outstanding is measured in terms of weeks or months.

Anyway if developers do not want to share this, i respect that answer too!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Step666:
From Blagus himself:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
For the third time:

*Do not remind me about posting my progress. I know that I have to post progress when there will be any, I'm not stupid.

Progress update: yesterday I finally set up Ubuntu for compiling Android sources:

* I can check the libs dependencies with ldd on PC, making that part of job faster

* I can try to compile CM's kernel
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Viish:
Thanks for keep working on the Arc !!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
if i knew the eta, i would be the happiest man in the world... but it's very dynamic, depends on my free time, and nobody knows which problems can occur during the port... maybe i make fully functional port with first release, and maybe it takes me a few months to fix everything...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zenkinz:
Alright, thats what i like to hear. Thanks for the hardwork.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] MR_EVIL:
hey man buy Arc...coz looking for miui port...i know im selfish here but i need miui rom on arc...n no other person except for u can do this...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] depulle87:
Just ordered my Arc when it is home I will let you guys know and help you test this in the meanwhile good luck with it
[Xperia Arc Android Development] elpapo:
Good luck! Keep up the good work! :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] deepakoffline:
i second that. miui on the awesome arc will be perfect. waiting for more roms to appear so that i can buy the arc :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cinereous:
Have a look guys, this thread is about cm7, not your iphone-like rom ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
custom kernel!?

wow thats really interesting....

so are u preparing fastboot flashable boot.img?

or splboot compatible boot.img?

also are u going to use full CM kernel or FreeXperia kernel?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
Splboot is not needed as we already can flash our own boot.img to NAND... I'll make a fastboot flashable boot.img

FreeXperia is adopted for X10. For the beginning I'll mod SE's kernel.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
thats great!

looking forward to test it on my Xperia Arc...

"mod SE kernel" so i am guessing it will be kernel 2.6.32.9?

also can u provide stock boot.img so that it will be safer to test out custom kernel?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
Original boot.img is kernel.sin. Can you upload it, preferably from .181 FW, together with loader.sin? I'm busy ATM. Thanks.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
ok...

here it is...

[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
Correct me if I'm wrong. Once we get the custom Kernel going we can Overclock our processor rite?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
yes ofcourse...

afaik QSD8255 can go upto 2GHz (thats wht Desire Z achieved) but i think 1.5/1.8 Ghz was stable
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
Thanks ... Let's hope we would make some progress in getting it done :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] caraudio014:
I am so excited about the rom development going on here!! Keep up the hard work:)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dzupert:
How to install flash tool'em?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] McT1980:
Fastboot probably :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] im_iceman:
flashtool is an app that you run from your PC...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] timroth:
Im watching this development as an android rokie also lol.

I dont think any rom could be worst then original arc rom. Its full of bugs and i am getting tired of this phone. Cant play any quality games more then 3-5 mins. Sometimes i can play and when i quit game, auto rotation is not working till i restart (which took 1.5 min to restart!) Sometimes cam refuse to start after quiting a game..And gets hot like 40 C.

My only hope is this custom roms. Hope it would come soon. If any of this rom solve my problems, im ready to donate. Wish i had more experience about programming and android so i could help also. Sony ericcson should firstly work on released devices to solve bugs, then may be they can release new models.

Good luck man.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
Sorry for the delay, but school is ending soon, so... I'll have more time when I'm done with school (only 3 and half weeks left!) ;)

But I hope I'll have a few spare hours until then, at least to finalize first alpha release...

Thanks for your patience, and please don't get pissed off and f**k my mother in this thread :)

Best regards
[Xperia Arc Android Development] 279Paddy:
LOL don't you worry dude, everything's totally fine :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] d4rkwind:
Never had any of these problems... Why not get a replacement as yours seems to be faulty.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] timroth:
I cant get a replacement because i have bought my phone from germany and i live in Turkey:)

Sux huh?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] im_iceman:
Have you asked?? Surely SE have a responsibility to honour the warranty.. even though you're not in the country you purchased the phone from?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Step666:
Depends what country/countries the warranty covers - most handsets are provided with warranties that only cover a particular country/region so as to to restrict the practice of grey importing.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] timroth:
Thanx for advice. In fact i dont have any hope but im maling se turkey office now. I ll tell the result.:)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] im_iceman:
they may not have a legal responsibility... but they do have a moral one!.. really depends on the laws in your country and their attitude to good customer service!

Sent from The Arc!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] timroth:
Yesterday i wrote a kind mail and tell them that i cant send it to germany again but i also told them about where i bought phone legaly with bill and waranty.

Today they wrote a fast '' USELESS'' kind answer about they cant do nothing because arc isnt released in turkey yet( which would be released in a week or what).

So the point is F*** Sony Ericcson Customer Service. Im reading their offical '' Help'' forum too. I have seen lots of people with my problems. They dont tell anything else accept repairing with seu. And the most funniest thing is most error topics are '' Disappearing'' magicly.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] waanz:
timroth, im_iceman, Step666,

I don't mean to be rude but I think your discussion regarding the Customer Service and the warranty of your phone on which you are getting these unusual bugs is completely off the original topic of this thread which focuses on:

Blagus' efforts to port Cyanogen CM7 to the Arc.

Thank you ;-)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] im_iceman:
you're right..my bad.

Sent from The Arc!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
I'm waiting for recognized developer rank (I hope I'll get it) so I could moderate mine threads by myself...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] waanz:
Blagus, forget moderation, we reader can try to auto-moderate. You got two things to focus on: school and CM7 ;-)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Step666:
Or better yet if the Arc section had a proper Mod :rolleyes:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Quercus1:
we dont need a mod - we need a custom-rom, thats it :)

nobody needs one who make only blabla, what we need is a DEV - i hope that we can one of them invite for our arc. lets pray!:)

thx to blagus for his work!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
Are you saying that I'm only like "bla-bla"?

Look, I can't make a lot of progress if I don't have Arc... I'm doing my best in delivering CM7 using my X8 for library checks, etc. and that is very slow.

If I had an Arc, this would be much faster, as well as enabling fastboot on SIM-locked phones and real recovery (CWM), which is possible via fastboot boot image.img command.

Without a phone to test, I can't do lot.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] quinstar:
He was referring to not necessarily needing a mod for the arc forum, but yet another DEV. He wasn't in any other way trying to offend you... And if so, screw him ^_^

Keep up the good work, and it's amazing that you even try to figure it out without actually owning one...

Nice one!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] magic-ability:
Blagus

this for you ,,

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mPs_YzFBWVs/SxhY148w8CI/AAAAAAAAGjE/_06CpNyL8Wg/s1600/rose.jpg

all unlocked Bootloaer ArcS are ready for testing ..

Keep Going ,, My brother ,, ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
Hehe thanks...

I hope this will apply for SIM-locked phones too soon! ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Juevani:
how about donating to get Blagus an Arc, or is that a sin??

10 € per person

10 € x 50 people = 500 € that is enough to get Blagus a device.

just a suggestion.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
Hope I could get it, but I have to find someone to receive money for me...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
We should collect money and then buy one phone for you on eBay (unbranded)

Q @ Blagus, can you get it cheaper in Croatia?

And you sit here and develop ROM :O
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Juevani:
Shouldnt be a problem, do you have a bank account? or we can just make a paypal account for you where the donation money can go and from there you either forward the money to your bank account or use the paypal account to buy the device from the internet and pay with paypal.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Vortex Unleashed:
I’m in....if that means to push the process further, I would go with 25 €.

Although I have rather a Play instead of an Arc…..but I guess it goes for the same.

On ebay u can get a new one already for 425 €.

Maybe someone like to make List for it?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
PayPal would be the best option. I don't have any bank accounts. There's no Arc or Play yet in Croatia. And I would have to think about the priority of Arc vs. Play:

Play - if I want to make some bigger progress with fixing bricked Plays, I would need Play, and at the same time I could find out how to enable fastboot on SIM-locked phones for Arc, Play and Neo.

Arc - users only await for CM7.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Vortex Unleashed:
Well...that's hard to tell, in the end it's still your choice to make.

However there's currently a Price gap between them. A Play is on ebay for even 380 – 400€ available and the price is decreasing dramatically.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] xipher1:
Xperia Arc

If we want to take donations, I would be happy to purchase an Arc in Hong Kong (SIM unlocked) and ship it to Blagus if we take donations.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
I'd rather go for a Play... it has that brick problem, and at the same time when I fix that problem completely, I'll also find out how to enable fastboot, and I need it because of the bigger /system partition for CM7 development which is required for both Arc and Play.

If people are ready to donate, I'll find someone to receive money on PayPal (some of my friends maybe, or mod here) and some real development (CWM, CM7) could start very soon, as my school is over in next two weeks.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vsinha71:
right sure lets kind of get him an xperia arc/play so that roms can be made. we could all donate an amount which is comfortable to each of us. the amount can be left to the personal choice of the individual to donate.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Viish:
And for a better led blinking ;)

Thanks for your work !
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hellocng:
I really want the front LEDs to flash when the phone is ringing. So I can have ringer on, vibrate, and silent (with LED). Also blink periodically for notifications... but that's way off topic. I would donate to just unlock my bootloader and SIM on my Rogers Arc. At least then no one will have to pay to unlock SIM again.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Quercus1:
Hey buddy,

i DONT say that YOU are one of the blabla guys - sorry for mistaken words! :)

by the way.. its my bad english :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
liblights would have to be rewritten, if I remember correctly... but, first I need a phone ;)

And if I manage to collect enough for phone, I'll be very happy :D

Now, I have decided that I would take Play. Reasons:

Play has got the brick via OTA problem. Play users are willing to be able to run their own iso-s for PSX. Having Play will allow me to find fastboot flag for Arc as well.

Having Play won't postpone Arc progress - I can more or less work parallel on Arc and Play with some stuff.

It's OK ;) as soon as I get the phone I'll start working on fastboot, CWM recovery, fixing Play, etc.

BTW, check out my new rank ^^ :D finally!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Juevani:
Now get the donation info so the process can start :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
hi, sorry for my absence but i reached my bw limit at home so i had to pause this for a week... tomorrow everything starts back... i'll try to find paypal account asap ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
Seems like a parallel CM development is also going on. Maybe you guys can work together.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Blagus:
Donation link ready. Check on the left bellow my username ;)

I'll get that solved, it would be nice to cooperate.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] festa20:
One of the other devs are getting a arc to do tearing kernels on in next few days when he gets it hope ya get all ya donations too blagus but its guna take a while for it to work out as donations are concerned really
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Logseman:
If the Arc side is covered, maybe Blagus can focus on the riddle of the emulator's encryption. As it stands right now, the one who cracks it wins almost enough cash to finance a new XPLay.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gunnerhk:
I tried to donate, but I got this error message at the paypal website

"reg.blagus@gmail.com

Your recipient is not able to receive funds at this time. Your recipient must first set up his or her account to receive funds."
[Xperia Arc Android Development] abhisheak.bansal:
sorry if i am offending anybody but can somebody tell me where is the development of cm7 for arc has reached?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
Developers don't have an arc. They tried to develop without a device but wasn't successful and finally they found a way to get a device and it is on its way to them. Jerpelea is working on CM7 Blagus is working to solving the bootloader unlocking.

Hopefully by next week, we should be seeing some development get started.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
additionally jerpelea is working on Arc & Blagus on Play...

u can keep checking the FreeXperia GITHUB page:

https://github.com/freexperia/FreeXperia
[Xperia Arc Android Development] abhisheak.bansal:
i am really sorry

as i am breaking the rules and posting a question in development section.....really sorry

but i want to know that,

will there be many custom roms for arc,just like x10 have, in near future?

i am going to buy a new phone [either arc or x10],but i cant decide which one will have brighter future?

BTW:- Can u recommend me any other good phone?

EDIT Q1:-How does a recovery solution help in ROM building????
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
sorry for OT

obviously there will be many roms...

ppl are waiting for a working recovery solution to be available so that ROM building/modding can begin...

if u are buying a new phone the choice should be obvious... would u buy a 1.5 Yr old device (X10) or few months old device (Arc)?

as for recommendations: (my personal opinion)

best single core phone currently available -> Xperia Arc

best dual core phone currently available -> Samsung Galaxy SII (SGS2)

back on main dev topic ppl...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] refract:
Blagus won't be able to recieve any donations until he has validated his paypal account - due to Croatia just recently being allowed to recieve money on Paypal accounts. ( this is a reply to the guy who said there was error with his paypal, etc etc )

Anyway I'm a programmer myself ( or well, on my second uni year ), and seeing I have a Arc, I could lend a hand from time to time to any dev out there.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] sbong:
After going through the instructions on the forum, I've modified the framework-res.apk file to enable the CRT screen off animation.

I'm using .181 firmware:

Update: extract the framework-res.apk file in the attachment,

place the file in /system/ ,

change the permission of the apk to "rw-r--r--",

move and replace the file in /system/framework/

Instructions using RootExplorer: here

Update: added framework-res.apk for .184 firmware

Update2: added HK .145 firmware

Update3: Added Reboot in Power Menu for HK .145, after replacing framework-res.apk, extract framework.jar and android.policy.jar to /system, change permission then replace the files in /system/framework

Update4: 4.0.1.A.0.283 framework files with Reboot Power Menu added

Update5: 4.0.2.A.0.42 framework files with Reboot Power Menu and % Batt added *fixed key lights*

Update6: 4.0.2.A.0.58 framework files with Reboot Power Menu added
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] adiktz:
Has anyone tried this...!!! I used some software to get that animation...!!!
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] im_iceman:
trying it now on .184 firmware!.. rebooting..

EDIT - Gone into a bootloop now... suggest no-one tries this on .184 f/w!

EDIT 2- My own stupid fault really.. NEED TO PASTE INTO SYSTEM FOLDER ; CHANGE PERMS ; THEN MOVE TO FRAMEWORK FOLDER
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] sigeena:
Yes, going into bootloop as well.

How do I recover this?

Edit: Okay, I'm recovering via PC Companion. Refer to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1054402

There is a simple app on the market that does this and more its called " screen off and lock" try if its free and u can lock ur phone different says only thing it doesnt do is unlock the same way
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] shvyue:
Just a quick note: You've to enable "all animations" at Settings -> Display for the screen off animation. Only install the screen of and lock without changing the setting wouldn't work. Hope this helps.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] festa20:
Yea u would have to make sure all animation is set sorry forgot to add it thanks
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] adiktz:
Anyone tried it on .181 ?? I quite like the animation so I want it on my phone... Of course if it don't break my phone...!!!
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] 279Paddy:
hey dude....thank you so much for this, i've been waiting for someone to put this animation up...works perfectly fine (used the 184 package on the 184 generic uk firmware :D)!!! (um, seemingly, the battery percentage has also been added! thank you!)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] shvyue:
I don't know if anyone know how to enable the screen off animation without "all animations" in the settings?

@sbong would this work on xperia play 1.81 (danish) or would one need the framework from a play and mod that to make it work?
