What kernel did you flash? Did you use the boot.img that came with the ROM?

Did you wipe everything before flashing the CM7 ROM? (data/cache/dalvik-cache)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mani0608:
Yes i did. I flashed boot.img that comes with CM7 zip. Then wiped everything before and after flashing CM7 :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cezarL:
That's odd... Can you check the md5 checksum of the zip? Might be a corrupt download...

EDIT - Errr... disregard that, there's no md5 to compare it with :) Redownload, then flash again (both CM7 and gapps, if you're using it).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mani0608:
Thanks you very much. Like you said, i will try re-downloading the file :)

---------- Post added at 07:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:41 PM ----------

No luck again the same issue :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cezarL:
Hmmm... I'm running out of ideas here :)

Can you try reflashing the .42 firmware? See if that one boots properly and verify that you can get to the home screen, maybe open an app or something.

If it looks well, then... dunno, try flashing kernel/wiping/flashing CM7 again.

Oh, one other thing: flash Doom's CM7 kernel from here, instead of the FXP one. Both of them were fine for me, but it can't hurt to try.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mani0608:
How did you root the .42 firmware. Or you flashed this Stable version without rooting .42 FW ??

---------- Post added at 07:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 PM ----------

I got the information:

It is /indeed/ ANT+ that's causing the freezes! If I remove system/app/AntHalService.apk from the update.zip and flash: no freezes at bootup!

i tired myself after getting boot loop "n" number of times...now its working..

From the following link:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/34790-cm7102-feedback/
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cezarL:
Glad to hear you solved it.

Still, I don't know why you'd have problems with that .apk. I don't recall removing it from the zip when I flashed FXP043 (I'm on a stock ROM now, can't check).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mani0608:
Even i am not sure why it has caused such a terrible issue :) Now it works fine. But i am not getting any vibration feedback during long press on any widgets on homescreen :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rafuru:
At last tested this version :)

It haves a big improvement !! !! battery fixed, vibration fixed and i don't have any battery problems..

But i just wait for Radio FM fix :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] aisback:
i cant get vibration to work,any ideas guy ive tried it twice
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mani0608:
Where do we find the external SD card. Normally we will have the external SD card folder under MNT > EMMC.

But am not able to find this folder in our CM 7 FXP043.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] P900:
I have a Custom Rom from here on it and the DoomKernel v12. Now I want to try this Rom. How should I proceed so everything works?:confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tl883:
did you flash the .42 semc rom aswell?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
A question. Have any of you experienced issues with lockscreen enabling/disabling from the power control widget on notification bar? I can disable it, but when enabling, I have to reboot to take effect...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
Isn't it mounted as /sdcard or /mnt/sdcard ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Evil_Sephiroth:
A little problem right now...

After 20-30 min screen off my arc "write" only emergency call, and i don't receive nothing

mmmh if i call my arc when it is in this state and...and i have a free signal..but arc don't ring....

when i turn on the screen i receive the miss call advice...

any idea?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cezarL:
Working fine here...

I recall a similar issue being mentioned in one of Doom's kernel threads. The battery usage graph was showing "time without phone signal" for a long period during sleep. I don't think anyone offered a solution, though.

I suppose it's a radio issue, not ROM related. Did you flash the latest firmware before CM7? The baseband version (radio version) in Settings - About phone should show something ending in -56.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Evil_Sephiroth:
I flashed latest .42 ...before CM7...and doomkernel V2 (for FXP043)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] steryman:
Sorry for interrupting your discussions, but can someone here make a separate kernel for those with 0% battery problem? Something like this(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1312398) based on doomkernel, wich sets the battery percentage to 85%, because I really want to have CM7 working on my 0% battery problem without keeping the phone plugged in USB and I can't use that patch with CM7 because it freezes, and I can't even turn my phone off without removing the battery.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Evil_Sephiroth:
I try with CM7 kernel..and problem is solved.

Probably this issue is caused by doomkernel V02 on CM7 FXP043

This is my "configuration"

1)LT15a_U.S._Generic_4.0.2.A.0.42 throught Flashtool

2)Doomkernel V02 for CM7

3)Wipe

4)CM7 FXP043

5)Gapps

6)Wipe

7)Reboot

and i have the issue

when 2) is FXP provided kernel..no problem....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
Everything works fine except my data connection. Is there anyway to fix it? Because using my Wifi I can't login to my Google account by some reason :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Evil_Sephiroth:
where i can get FXP041-042???

V 043 have a lot of issue for me ;_;
[Xperia Arc Android Development] aisback:
finally got it 100% working but my quadrant score was a lot lower from 1900 to 1500
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
Anyone? No one? Today even after reboot I couldn't bring the lockscreen to show itself, it didn't even show the password input window, and I had to disable/enable lockscreen on power widget to make it work... I remember having the same problem with NoLock, and I was not the only one.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] maharz:
strange.. i'm using FXP43 but having no issue at all, it has more stable than FXP42...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] maxx228:
In the same setting

I think Power is more saving then FXP042
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
Looks like we got our first nightly:

http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=anzu

Changelog:

http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=anzu
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
Um, something's happening with my phone... Last night the status bar clock stopped updating, so instead of 2:12, it showed 1:59. GO weather clock worked normally. After a reboot it was the same. I put my phone on charge and when I woke up, it was okay. And then suddenly after I exited Opera Mobile, the phone showed the boot CM logo for a few seconds and then I had to reenter my PIN. That wasn't quite a reboot... Anyway, can all that be caused by overclock @ 1.4? I was previously @ 1.2. One more thing: when I went to search for a certain thing in CatLog, I noticed many "TICK_TOCK" things. O.o
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mr.alawi:
did anyone tried to add Bravia Engine in there CM ROM and it worked? and is there Arabic Language in this ROM ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] matteh80:
Tried the nightly ROM, the screen rotation didn't work for me...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ZuLa:
Me too, with the nightly build screen rotation stop working but general performance seems to have impreved! Will wait for fxp44!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Istvan_86:
Nice, downloading FXP044. I test it this night.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] terranox:
I have the stock rom of ARC S.

this rom worth installing?

The improvement is too big?

Sorry if this is spam, thank.

Anyone else?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] steryman:
Did you added support for 0% battery problem arcs? If not, I hope you will add in the next update.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Using it right now...

Wifi is working fine ..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sinkster:
Just checking... I booted the cm7 kernel(fxp043) as I tried this and 7.1.0.2 from cyanogenmod with doomkernel 02, both no wifi. Trying the boot.img with the fxp044 7zip just in case.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] CHez0or:
When i click turn on Wifi from the menu, i get a message: "Sorry! Application Settings (in process com.android.settings) is not responding." "Force close "or "Wait"

Nobody else?

Man, I had FXP 042 working perfectly. Got bored today so i decided to try an update, now i got 044 with no WiFi
[Xperia Arc Android Development] lifescore:
Fix problem with wifi

I recovery my setting wifi with titanium backup

And wifi work in fxp 44
[Xperia Arc Android Development] CHez0or:
Titanium restore not fixing wifi issue
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Cim_XII:
Same with me....So pissed that I did install the new version.... Sure, the vibrator works for me now, but I'd rather have a working WiFi connection like before....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] CHez0or:
I even had Vib working on mine!!

Anyone got a link to .368 firmware? that seemed to get me running the first time when i was having Cell Data issues
[Xperia Arc Android Development] diegast:
Flashed fxp44 boot.img, wiped cache, partition and Dalvik, installed the update.zip + gapps 20110828, did same wipe afterwards and also no wifi for me........ After selecting Wifi on, it FC after about 10 sec..... :-$

@DoomLoRD:

@FXP:

I didn't flash back to the 4.0.2 semc.... could this be the problem with no wifi..?

Will try again/test different install after a night sleep...

i am rebuilding all

sorry for the inconvenince
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mr.alawi:
is there a chance to port Bravia Engine in this ROM ? and is it Multi language ROM ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jerpelea:
FXP044 fixed and uploaded
[Xperia Arc Android Development] thorner:
Is it possible to upgrade from FXP043 to 44?

What I am after is do I need to do all the steps described in post 3 or is it enough just to install the update. (last step)

I had an HD2 before with CM7 and when new upgrades came on that I did not need to reinstall everything. Then I just loaded the new file through Clockwork and after that rebooted the phone. Then I had all my apps and settings intact.

Can this be done or do I have to do all the steps?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] matteh80:
I just installed the update from CWM and it works fine...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jerpelea:
yes but you have to flash kernel and in cwm update device

DONT WIPE DEVICE
[Xperia Arc Android Development] taaviu:
And without PC we cant flash new kernel...?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Nope
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sinkster:
Wifi working fine now. Thanks.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] matteh80:
Still the problem with left side touchscreen in landscape though.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Bin4ry:
Before posting same problem over and over again, please see bugtracker:

http://code.google.com/p/freexperia/issues/list

And look if problem is closed or if it is work ongoing.

No need to report it every second post. Anyway. I myself cannot reconstruct this problem, so it's hard to find the problem.

Working on a new driver port, hopefully it will fix the problem for the some of you which have it.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] P900:
I would like to install the rom and I need to flash the kernel first before I install the rom?:confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hush66:
Yes, you need to flash the kernel provided in this thread before you flash the ROM.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Cim_XII:
the new fixed version doesn't work....it's the same issue, tried everything over and over and the issue persists.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] P900:
Is the kernel the boot.img? Or where can I find it in this thread?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Bin4ry:
Yes kernel is inside boot.img

Just flash boot.img via fastboot.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] P900:
Do I need to install the GAPPS too?:confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Cim_XII:
you don't need to, but it'll be faster than downloading them afterwards.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] matteh80:
Oops, sorry missed that. Good work anyhow.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
Check this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1324204 it might work
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Istvan_86:
Thank you, the new fixed update works great. No wifi problem right now.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Petter88:
Like a charm, almost...

New version didnt work for me at first but started working after flashing the included new kernel (boot.img) although I have never flashed the ARC S ROM (would have if I had to but as it works without for me I figured I'll wait and spare myself the work)

The only problem I have encountered so far is that the icon for changing screen bightness in the power widget gets "stuck" on automatic, the brightness changes but the icon doesn't change anymore, don't matter much...

On the bright side we now have both functioning camera flash and vibrator! (I know the flash was fixed a while ago but I skipped a version because the flash wasnt really a consern of mine...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rubenswing:
Display Dim

Can anyone pls tell me how to stop the screen from dimming after phone unlock, even though the brightness level is upto 100% after phone lock even though the brightness stays at 100 i have to manually touch the slider and then the brightness is full .... :confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tw1tterik:

have the same problem... thats the main reason I stopped using cm7 as my main Arc... (have 2) so now on rooted 2.3.4 with doomkernel v12

It says Battery drain problem is fixed, but I lost about 30% in just 5 hours after flashing FXP44...!!! Apparantely phone never went to deep sleep...!!!

Please give a look at the attached photos...!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
It could be Maps. Freeze Map through Titanum backup and see if go to Deep sleep
[Xperia Arc Android Development] adiktz:
Didn't work...!!! Still the same great battery drain...!!! Will see if it settles down in a day or two...!!! Thank you though...!!!

This is a great rom...!!! Once it gives me some battery life, I'll be happy like anything...!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
It has been already mentioned a couple of times before and the temporary "fix" a certain user found is to use app InvisiBright.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rubenswing:
Well, the so called "temporary fix" only pushes the brightness to 46% thereby bringing the brightness to what it was, in short its the same amount of brightness I have had .... and no respite.... anyways I will try some other rom .... TY for the solution nevertheless
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hksalameh:
Thanks For great rom

can you fix gps

on stock ROM gps is vary good

but in this rom Signal inside the car is not strong

and speed are not correct
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cezarL:
I'm not sure what you mean... isn't it normal for the brightness to be at the level you had set it before locking?

That's what InvisiBright does: you set a custom brightness (say... 70%), then put the device to sleep, wake it up, unlock it, and then you get the same 70% level you had set.

What other brightness level are you expecting to get?

FWIW, I'm not using CM7 brightness controls at all (neither the notification bar widget button, nor the "status bar brightness control" option). InvisiBright alone handles brightness, and I've had no dimming issues...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] palex:
Update to FXP044 without reset

Hi, how can I update to FXP044 from a previous version without the need to reinstall everything??

Thanks!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rubenswing:
Simply put in ur own words, If i set the brightness level to 100% and then the screen locks itself and after unlock the screen the brightness should stay at the level that I had set it ... that would be 100% but it's not the case here, somehow the brightness slides down to 40-50%, with InvisiBright the max it can go upto (in my case) is 50% and no more, even though I set the max brightness to 100% from the system settings and lock the screen and when i unlock the screen again...the brightness level is back to between 40-50% even with InvisiBright running...thus effectively making ineffective the settings of InvisiBright .... What other brightness level are you expecting to get? the brightness level I am expecting is 100% .... that's not hoping for too much I guess :D and yes by all means it should be normal for the damn brightness to stay at 100% instead of sliding down all on its own to 40-50%...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dubist:
i mean what shipped roms means perhaps like cm 7 ?

[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
DAMN!!!

wht abt CF-ROOT type custom kernels?

even them?

the side note on CM7.1 is interesting though... seems u have already tried CM7.1 with 1.5Ghz overclock ;) does it boot properly? gets into OS? GUI?

this is exciting
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Regii:
Prolly will result in something like a bootloop - No matter how it's gonna be unusable
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Shipped roms mean the STOCK SE 2.3 ROMs

but once u guys get a taste of AOSP/CM7/MiUI/etc builds u wont miss stock SE roms ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] abhisheak.bansal:
What is AOSP AND MiUI?

edit:-i know that cm7 is custom rom
[Xperia Arc Android Development] The Gingerbread Man:
Android Open Source Project, similar to native android. Miui is iPhone like ui. Custom roms / firmware. Google is your friend ;-)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] KQ17:
Have a look at, I don't know, Nexus One section. You will see all those type of ROMs and what they look like. But like it was said, AOSP is like stock Android, MiUI is Android + iOS. I guess we will also see modified SE-based ROMs.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jamaljmys:
doesn't matter, if it will work with CM7 ROM:D the shipped ROM for my device will be CM7 :D.

no disappointing boss, it will motivate for releasing CM.

thank you 1000000s for your efforts.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
Yeppiiiii........

That's OK I guess .. Because once I get CM working I'm not gonna go back to stock .... 1.5 GHz Overclock with JIT would be really great.. I just hope the we have a better battery life.

DAMN ....!! I'm excited but a little sad that we can't test the Kernel since it only works with Custom ROM so we have to wait till he uploads the Custom ROM.

One question so the Kernel he have upload now does it works with stock? Is it Overclocked?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] maharz:
so it means we can never go back to shipped roms ?

what about using fastboot or using ftf files, will it be worked ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jerpelea:
kernels will be

for stock rom k0xx

for cm rom k1xx

kernel on post 2 is for stock rom and can be tested
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
JIT is enabled since Froyo versions... its already present & enabled in stock SE 2.3 ROM...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
J a suggestion:

why not call them-

STK-kXX

CM-kXX

???
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Vintiem:
I presume that it is always possible to flash a SE stock Rom back with fastboot??

[Xperia Arc Android Development] abhisheak.bansal:
IF WE INSTALL CUSTOM ROMS AND CUSTOM kernal,than can we rollback to stock kernal and roms?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
Ah .. I had HTC Wildfire that had stock Froyo but it didn't have JIT enabled so I though it's same for SE as well.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
yes!

u just need to extract the system.sin file from the FTF bundle and then use the following fastboot command:

fastboot flash system <path-to-system.sin>

i might be wrong with the fastboot syntax... please correct me if i am wrong

yes!!!

u can always use flashtool to get back to stock FW by flashing the ftf bundle of stock FW...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jamaljmys:
AOSP (Android Open Source Project) such CM,MIUI built from the source and not based on any other ROM.

its not custom ROM, mate. its totally new one.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] matteh80:
Well, update from recovery and don't wipe data... :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cezarL:
Why would you set it from system settings? Use InvisiBright instead :)

Guess you didn't read the whole post. It's working fine for me, the brightness stays at whatever I set it... WHEN I use only the app, not the CM settings.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rubenswing:
Well the problem is resolved .... it was due to a live wallpaper setting and not due to anything else. :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
I cannot flash boot.img. It fails for some reason.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Petter88:
But I think you need the a new kernel this time? Can you still install without wiping? If it doesn't work, grab titanium backup on market and it will be able to restore your apps inkl settings...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rubenswing:
remove battery from the phone, then restart your phone, try fasboot before conecting USB cable (" it will say waiting for phone"), then connect the cable and if that does not work then you can try two things:

1. Plug the cable into another USB port.

2. Try using another cable

Why would you go and do something like that? De launcher is slow and lacks settings! Just install go launcher or launcher pre and you can set them up to work the same way
