hi All,

i dont understand something ...

second post says that phone must be on build .368

but my phone already is on 2.3.4 build 283 ...

so i have to downgrade to 2.3.3 ?????? i see some topics that if we downgrade our phone from 2.3.4 .283 to 2.3.3 .368 bring a problem .... . 0% battery problem

And if i flash this rom on 2.3.4 .283 rom .... any problem will happen ???

thX for ur complete answer !
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
It's the same for me like on stock...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] adiktz:
It's safe to downgrade from 2.3.4 to 2.3.3...!!! We do need to downgrade in order to have certain functionality like vibration to work properly...!!!

If you install CM 7 on 2.3.4, you'll not get vibration beside other problems that I haven't come across...!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rustynuts34:
I didn't downgrade went from 2.3.4 with unlocked bootloader and root

Lol just noticed I don't have vibrate, haven't found any other problem, what other problem did you get without downgrading?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] adiktz:
May be 3g signal problem but I'm not sure...!!! I downgraded once I found there wasn't any vibration...!!!

Someone already installed on Arc S? Any problems?

That's working for me can live without vibration
[Xperia Arc Android Development] reptile64:
Is there any serious reason for real to jump from stock 2.3.4 to CM7????
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
See it yourself. You can get back to stock if you don't like it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] payneardo:
The fc on the camera go in to applications force stop and clear data/cache on the camera app and it should start working again. Mine did this to me when I tried a different camera app and this is how I fixed it :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] reptile64:
When you finish the "testing - testing" you can tell me! :p
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
Or you can read some previous posts and see if it suits you :O ooor you could try it out and see it yourself :OO
[Xperia Arc Android Development] crimilde:
Thanks for the advice. After restoring my last CM backup and wiping the cache it still force closed, so I flashed 7.1.0 again and wiped the cache and now the camera works. :D

Hi All !

I am using fw 2.3.4, and I have installed as directed in # 1, but the boot is a black screen and crashes:rolleyes:, I've done wrong place:confused:, please detailed installation instructions for my is not?, I'm using Lt15i and lt18i, please help me, thank you very much, sorry my english is too bad:eek:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] joecool1029:
uh you need to use the .368 build which is 2.3.3. 2.3.4 will have broken things like vibration.

Sounds like you did not flash the kernel correctly either. Use fastboot to flash boot.img.

Also, after you flash the 2.3.3 build, if you want to use doomkernel use the one specifically for CM7.1, there's a thread in this forum for it. Do NOT use the test kernel for 2.3.4 or stuff will be broken.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
Refer to post 3 on the first page, you will find all the instruction there.

I'm on FXP042, should I just install from zip without clear data/cache? or need to clear data / cach first and then install from zip?:)

what bug has been fixed?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iAchilles:
hi, frist of all i wanna thank you for ur hardworking :)

1. problem with tegra2 game ( i think ! ) because a game like samurai2 in stock Rom run perfectly but in this has graphical bugs ...

:(

2. camera dont reconize face and smiles ... so camera in stockrom is better :(

3. Bravia enigne and Xloud dont work .... these are so big problem i think !! :( because one of the specific feature in XPERIA arc is Bravia engine !! :(

4. some FC in sometime ... and worse than it

crash and freezing Sometime :( and i have to remove battery and turn on phone again :( this is so sucks ...

and problem like that never happend in Stock ROm

5. i cant play video file like 1080p video file ... i know xperia arc cant run 1080p video perfect ... but i could play 1080p in stock rom with some delay ...

and i wanted to try in this rom with 1.5 GHZ but it cant run the video file at all !! :(

6. ... . .

PLZ say ur opinion about these problem ... thX

---------- Post added at 04:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:05 PM ----------

i have 3 question ... so i thX u if u answer my Q ...

1. Can i use ur kernel in Stock rom 2.3.4 build .283 without ur ROM !????

2. What Feature will added my phone with ur kernel ?? what ability will add ??? (if just use ur kernel ??? )

3. how i can change my list application like page by page (like stock rom) ???

4. how can i back perfectly back to Stock rom 2.3.4 build .283 without any problem happend ???

thX:)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] wallimo:
hmm well

1. I had problems with Tegra 2 games on stock because they are optimized for a dual core CPU arc is single core.

2. If you want more camera features get a third party app lots have been mentioned.

3.bravia engine and x loud are software made by se, so I don't think they'll be integrated again third party app a can solve the x loud issue.

4. I have to say I've been running this for 5 days roughly and haven't had one fc

5. I guess the arc just wasnt designed for 1080p

Your questions

1. No you can't but you can use doomlords, which will give recovery as well as the ability to over clock.

2.not possible see point above

3.go to menu and then settings, adw launcher, draw settings, app draw style, select horizontal paginated and then you'll have what you want!

4. Use flashtools and flash the se generic ROM and then you'll be right back to stock and, you'll never know you had cm7
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iAchilles:
6. in SMS typing ... have some touching problem ... like Space that u must hit it 2-3 timeS ... !! :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sinkster:
I've used cm7 off and on for a while, and the only real bugs for me seems to be the lack of sensitivity at the bottom of the keyboard and a few corrupted widgets, only with some wallpaper/theme combos. The bravia engine is nice but not essential because as far as I'm aware it doesn't affect stored pictures or videos, only the on screen view. Xloud can be replicated by a 3rd party app, plus the original sound is nowhere as bad as the x10's... So to me, the features of cm7 outweigh any drawbacks.

ps ignore the sig., haven't updated it for a week or two ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] lil_devil:
I can confirm iAchilles's problems of FC's and the system freezing up especially in lockscreen...even if i press the power button it does not light up...The only way to fix it is Removing the battery which gets annoying after doing it 2-3 times a day..

Apart from that the Keyboard problem is evident and am really finding the missing Bravia engine and Xloud to be a disadvantage.

Even the camera does not provide half as good images as the stock ROM does.

Although apart from these the day to day usage is pretty smooth and fast.

Would have loved if something could be done about the Camera,FC's and Freezeups.!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kistigun:
bugs i found so far on FXP041:

-Torch light is flickering

-Rom manager isn't working(CWM not supported yet?)

-Battery history aint working right (battery up time is incorrect )

-Camera app & apps that use camera are draining battery

-when i want to add a contact android.process.android crashes

-screen flickers on some places & looks like low resolution

-bad responsivenes on key board in landscape mode
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pradeepvizz:
is the boot loader unlocked ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
I started experiencing freezes as well, especially on lockscreen, and have to remove the battery. it can be very annoying....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] maharz:
strange, i got it as very stable rom, never crashes, restart , or else

just draining the battery.. i guess you flashed it wrong :D :D :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
So did you guys flash the 41 over 42 without any wipe or should I start the procedure from the beginning?

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tiltyu:
awright, I am done with the backup, so let me just flash over without data wipe

edit: I have no problem after flashing 042 over 041. but of course, I did wipe the cache and dalvik cache

edit2: link2sd will not operate correctly after flashing over. Thus, you'd better re-install it if you are using it
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
Not that I say anyone should do this but I flashed the FXP042 over FXP041 without any wiping and everything seems to be working just fine. Make sure to backup before hand,

ooooohhhhh... couldnt find the download file tooo... :o

"This file is either removed due to copyright claim or is deleted by the uploader."
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
I guess the problem is in ROM since I followed the steps very closely and I'm not the only one experiencing problems. :D :D

edit: I think I'll be switching back to stock for some time, because once my battery starts draining, it does not stop no matter what. And I really need to have my phone working.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] finbaar:
Updated to 42 from 41 after wiping dalvik cache and no problems what so ever. Great ROM. sunbriel, I can only suggest downloading everything again and reflashing, it is worth it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
Today I went to school with battery around 54%, which was at 7:30. I returned with phone completely drained at 14:50. It turned itself off at around 12. The only thing I had on was 2G data, my screen was off almost the whole time. But it did not start draining because of data, since it started later... basically, with screen off, something drained my battery in about an hour time... which would be around 45%... Such thing never happened on stock ROM, but I'll try re-flashing it...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] crimilde:
Yeah... I'm on FXP042, I got at work at about 09:00 with 92% battery and right now (17:20) it's drained down to 30%, with 3G on, a one-minute call and the screen off for the rest of the time.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] crazymister:
100% at 8.45 a.m.

Now at 5 pm. I still got 67% left, so must be something in your settings. Have been on the internet for about an hour, played a game a while and even made a phone call. At fxp42.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] hyde:
Unplug at 10am. At about 3pm, left less than 30% battery life.

Running SetCPU, JuiceDefender. Did some surfing, facebook, call and sms.

Something is definitely wrong with the way the battery is drained. Either is the rom, or apps I running or my batt is faulty.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kistigun:
did you do a fresh install of fxp042 or did you just flash it over fxp041?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] crazymister:
I flashed right over it. Don't have the time to reconfigure my ROM every time

Sent from my LT15i
[Xperia Arc Android Development] av4tar:
similar position to me, mine was a fresh flash of FXP as id been using a rooted generic rom before! can take it off charge and within an hour of travelling to work with a bit of internet, several texts im down by at least 12% so needless to say using it for music and day to day stuff recently is going to be a no no!

apps do run in the background but nothing major like data use, gps etc
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. It drains just too fast in no time. It has to be ROM that is at fault here, because I got better battery life on stock with same apps installed...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] crazymister:
A said earlier, i'm at cm7 fxp42, by now online for over 15 hours, gaming, checking internet, calling, by now even used google maps navigation with satellite view and GPS for over half an hour, and still got 19% left. Set my CPU to 1.3ghz max, with smartassV2 governor.

So must be something in your settings, or use it a few days and check after that. Didn't wipe my phone when I came from fxp41, just flashed over it. You could also try that.

Also I don't use adw launcher but stock se launcher, I like that more

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I also run v6 supercharger script. Maybe that helps a bit too

Sent from my LT15i
[Xperia Arc Android Development] wallimo:
I did the same just installed the update fxp042, didn't wipe dalvik cache. I noticed done things that have been fixed like in fxp041 the battery drained fast and when I plugged in to charger it didn't charge, with fxp042 both of those issues are resolved with me. I'm so happy with this ROM.thankyou

I have the same problem with the battery drainage.

Mobile standy eats the battery dead in a day, but after using toggle2g to switch to 2g when the screen if off, the ARC uses 1% of battery an hour when idle.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] finbaar:
These battery drain issues are very strange. When I had a ZTE Blade there was one particular ROM on it that used to drain my battery that most people had no issues with and I knew it wasn't my settings. With FXP042 I have the maximum overclock, all syncing on and have been playing podcasts, surfing and playing games since 6am and have 47% left. I will say though I got my sim free Arc at the beginning of September so it must have been one of the last made before they rolled out the Arc S.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] crazymister:
All with battery drain try this:

Type *#*#4636#*#* at your dial pad, go to phone settings, and set your network type to gsm/cdma (auto). It will probably be on wcdma only. Might work, maybe that solved my draining issue because I did that prior to flashing

Sent from my LT15i
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
I noticed that data eats my battery like CRAZY. BTW, I checked the option to use 2G only, but nothing has changed. And it can't be the problem in my settings since I haven't made any changes that would cause such behavior.

pens to anyone else. i remember it was exactly the same after i first bought it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Bin4ry:
For all with battery probs. The next time you flash a rom please be sure that your battery is full charged.if not the phone and the batt mikrocontroller have to train each other until they are predicting same values. It is always better to do a flash with a fully charged phone to circumvence battery problems.

No freezing on the lockscreen for me! runs perfect.

On a side note i cleared my batt stats last night while i was on 7.1.0, this morning i updated to 7.1.0.1, cleared the battery stats and installed "Toggle 2G/3G" ater roughly 6 hours use im at 55% (use includes some facebook, foursquare updates with gps use and some light web browsing! no sms or calls) battery status shows mobile standby at 24% use. Ill try it over the next few days see how it goes but would this be the best way to try and resolve the battery drain:

-full charge

-wipe the device

-reflash cm

-clear dalvik/battery stats

-reboot
