Does anyone know what's up with Data connection? I'm not on the latest release, but I see the same happens on 054. Sometimes when I try to switch from Wifi to Data connection, the Data doesn't work. I have to reboot to get it working again.

Also, you guys who updated to 054. Is video recording stable now? I really need it working. I use MIUI Camera, btw, and photos are really good, but the video recording freezes now and then, and the audio and video are not in sync.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cezarL:
Actually, it's not specific to the Arc. It seems to be a combination of WiFi router model + AOSP kernels.

I had an MSI router, and had the same problem as you, with a HTC Desire running CM6/7. The Sense kernel had no trouble keeping the WiFi connection active during sleep.

Arc S running CM7 has the same problem with that router.

I eventually switched to a NetGear router, and now the connection is kept alive at all times.

No problems here, had to switch between WiFi / 3G a few times on FXP054, it was fine each time.

Video is working on FXP054, with the default quality setting (HD 30m or something like that). I don't really use the phone's camera myself, I didn't test anything else, I only recorded a couple of short clips now, no force-close, no freezing.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] johnbarleycorn:
Hi guys, I noticed that with the flashlight app (especially in "high brightness"), the LED emits much more light than when it is used as a flash in the camera. It would be possible to increase the light output when used as a flash, I can not find the configuration file that handles it.

In any case, congratulations for the excellent work you are doing (and have already done) with cyano 7.2 fantastic rom ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] johnbarleycorn:
yes, I use "LGCAMERA" and this works very well, this also allows you to adjust compression level photos of very low (eg a photo from the highest quality 8Mpx weighs about 4 MB) with considerable gain in quality.

I also tried "VIGNETTE", but this does not work well, with constant crashes and saving a very long time (this program is creating problems with the original rom).

For Video we always recommend that LGCAMERA among the various options you can adjust the audio quality AAC stereo (with maximum quality 48KHz - 320Mbit).

In any case, even the default programs work well.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
Anyone having problems with the Market? Some apps show the "Your device is not compatible with this item." message (like the newest version of Paint Joy, Digital Cat Clock, etc.). Can someone check if they can download those apps with their arcs? I tried getting back to the old Market, but the mf **** keeps updating itself (even with market updater removed). I also tried changing density, but to no avail. And I doubt Xperia isn't compatible.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] captainstabbin:
I ran into this problem when I put CM7 on mine. I went in and changed all occurrences of "LT-15i" to "LT-18i" in the build.prop file. The market then realized my phone as such, but it still didn't fix my problem, then I was turned on to the Eris Market Fix. That did the trick for all the applications I was looking for. Even after updating and it reverting back to being recognized as an LT-15i, Eris Market Fix did the trick.

I installed this yesterday and I'm encountering some problems.

1. When I'm surfing with WLAN and I want to download something, WLAN turns off and on again.

2. When I want to use landscape-mode for sms writing and I turn left around, space is not very responsitive, when I pull down the notification bar, I can't pull it up again. Seems like the touchscreen is not working when you turn your phone left around, because when I turn my phone right around, everything works fine.

Anyone else with these problems?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iqlogic:
1. When I'm surfing with WLAN and I want to download something, WLAN turns off and on again.

I have this problem with Sygic Downloader only

2. When I want to use landscape-mode for sms writing and I turn left around, space is not very responsitive, when I pull down the notification bar, I can't pull it up again. Seems like the touchscreen is not working when you turn your phone left around, because when I turn my phone right around, everything works fine.

I have this problem too in all apps.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] adiktz:
sygic downloader has always been a pain in the neck, it disconnects even in stock from and even on 3g, its not problem with the rom...!!!

Touch screen has been a problem since the very beginning...!!! If you want to write SMS in landscape, turn to the other side...!!! This has been the only solution...!!! And this issue is too old and everyone knows it...!!! Its worthless to mention because when the dev would get it fixed, we'll have the fix, till then we have to live with it...!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sWiftyious:
yeah, sorry for not reading 217 Pages.

i was just mentioning it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chefchuck:
We can't be the only two here interested in ANT+ can we? That's the only reason I bought this phone. FXP, can you please shed some light on the ANT radio and what we need to do to get it to work? Should we just wait for the next release?

Thank you as always FXP, and CM TEAM for a rock solid platform.

Is there a fix for the immense battery drain? I am losing almost und 7% per hour doing nothing.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Elessar76:
Flash official CyanogenMod kernel. In Neo we have same issue with FXP kernel, and flashing official CM kernel battery drain stops.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jerpelea:
FXP103 released

battery fixed!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gabimx:
Thanks! will try.

P.S

what abute every thing betwin FX054 to this FXP103?

P.S #2

where is the link, please?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
The link to fxp54 is the FXP103. FXP team probably forgot to change the name on the thread though, if you dont believe me click the link and see the name of the file yourself :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gabimx:
even in the link it says 103.

and we had fxp054 A week or two befor... is this the 055 realese?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
It wasn't before, but it's changed now and yes it is
[Xperia Arc Android Development] skiba:
I'm still running on version 46, is it worth upgrading?

If I do, do I just wipe the cache and install the zip? Or is there more to it...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] WebbyHRT:
Defiantly worth it. Read the changelog
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Does fixed battery mean that the battery drain is fixed or? And compared to stock battery?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Branwen:
Seems like it. And a shame its not been acknowledged
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kaatisu84:
After talking on the phone with my headphones in, cm 7.2 has all menus stuck in landscape mode. How do I fix this, is it a known bug?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kaatisu84:
It happened again today. It seems that the accelerator totally stops working and whatever was open at the time gets stuck in that position, either landscape or even upside down. It has only happened after talking on the phone with either my BT headset or my regular music earphones.

I am running the most recent release cm7.2RC0 (I think FXP054) and I using Doomkernal for cm7 #3.

Does anyone know the issue and how to fix?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jerpelea:
small progress

new prelink map is ready to match 2/2 memory
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
nice so now we can use the same kernel on Stock as well as CM7?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jerpelea:
yes and also needed stock libs (we hope)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
libs for sensors?

or even audio?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] NeoCream:
Would it be of any use if we would contact Sony Ericsson (Dev-Team) and ask them to support the porting of different roms by giving us driving-specific knowledge/information etc. (thus having 100% working camera/sensors/etc.)

I mean Samsung gave the CM-Team a complete SGS II for free... just to support the porting... maybe SE would do something similiar?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] NielDK:
Not quite the same as giving source code for drivers
[Xperia Arc Android Development] adiktz:
Bootlooped...!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
Did you Flash the Kernel for CM7 ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jerpelea:
BAD NEWS

even with 2/2 prelink map we can not use se libs

we have tried also relocating se libs to 3/1 prelink and the same

so ..

we have to rewrite libaudio gralloc and maybe overlay

maybe more

GOOD NEWS

once we have libs compiled from source we can compile any android version
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
Kudos Jerpelea.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] abhisheak.bansal:
2 thumbs up for your hard work keep it up......
[Xperia Arc Android Development] depulle87:
Yep but compiling complete libs is going to take a lot of time I think ?

Love your work J and you are once again extreemly fast
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jerpelea:
we have to fix gralloc to reduce errors and make device usable (we can disable errors but we need to fix the problem )

yes development for this will take time
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Vintiem:
I like to try the K002 kernel but is it true at this moment that Wifi doesn't work with this kernel?

If so its no option for me unfortunately

Kind regards,

Vintiem
[Xperia Arc Android Development] adiktz:
yup....!!! first i flashed the boot.img then system.img that was in the download...!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jerpelea:
you have an cmd file

run it and rom will be corectly flashed !

you forgot to erase user data
[Xperia Arc Android Development] adiktz:
okay...!!! I guess yes i didnt wipe user data...!!! m trying now... will post if unsuccessful..!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] adiktz:
Done... successfully booted...!!!

No GUI... Just a black screen and statusbar...!!!

EDIT: Got the unresponsive homescreen after waiting 15 min...

Nothing else... Too slow... But I like the preview of what I gonna get in few weeks... Now I m impatient...!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] depulle87:
tried the custom kernel with this method from Doomlord : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1116970 and got it to run.

The custom kernel worked but I had some problems with the market and sms text messaging. Can't download from market and seems like I can't find a lot of apps (quadrant standard ) and the kernel somehow repeated a text message that was send half an hour before.

so flashed back stock kernel and everything is fine now. (can't live with a phone sending messages on his own because it started my car )
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
woah .. cant wait ..

process here is faster than blagus

[Xperia Arc Android Development] crazymister:
Try it with original fxp kernel. If the problem persists it could be in ROM, if it is gone it could be in doomkernel.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kaatisu84:
Sorry for the n00bish question, but how do I reflash the original FXP kernel?

---------- Post added at 08:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 PM ----------

I think I worked it out, but please confirm - I extract the boot.img from the CM rom and flash via fastboot? Am I right?

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Petter88:
Installed fxp103, world fine so far except for 1 spontaneous restart while the phone was just laying on a table on standby, no idea what caused it but it hasn't done it before
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Petter88:
May have has something to do with the battery calibrator I ran that deleted ask there battery stats...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mr.alawi:
anyone got original SystemUI.apk for CM7 cause mine always get force close ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mr.alawi:
anyone please? i really need the original SystemUI.apk for CM7 cause mine is not working and i dont want to restore my device.. :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rashid.fairus:
u can have it inside the flashable zip right? just extract from it..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mr.alawi:
i just realized that :p thanks dude :D

its ok

I Love XPERIA!!!!!!

FXP104 released
[Xperia Arc Android Development] energie:
damn i just installed 103....can i just update to 104 with CWM?

does it require a wipe?

thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gabimx:
thanks for the update.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Petter88:
shouldn't require a wipe, but last I read the release notes it said you should make sure to flash the updated kernel (boot.img) due to me memory optimization

(this has to be done by fastboot flashing via computer)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tw1tterik:
changelog 104? :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] NeoCream:
get it here:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] plopingo:
With the latest 2 or 3 version of CM by frexperia, battery drain issue is gone or is still there for some users ?

Thanks to you !
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rednit:
witch karnel is recommended for this version ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dugzino:
Lol.

the provided kernel... maybe?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
Since no one seemed interested in helping, I decided to play with settings in lgCamera and got the video working (sometimes laggs, though...). These are my settings:

video: 1280 × 720 (you might even get it working with 1920 × 1080), H.264, MPEG4, 3 Mbits, 30 FPS (doesn't seem to work with anything but 30)

audio: AAC, 44100, 128000

Hope this works for you, too.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Istvan_86:
I think that the default kernel provided in the zip file is the best choice.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rashid.fairus:
so flashing update kernel inside FXP104,then flashing FXP104 on FXP103 without data wipe or anything? what about dalvik cache? its really pain when always need to reset all and installing apps all over again when new update release..

I Love XPERIA!!!!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Petter88:
Cashe doesn't hurt I guess... Wipe data is something I haven't had to do since I first installed cm7, haven't wiped cashe either but mostly because I have forgotten to :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] plopingo:
no feedback ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jerpelea:
if you flashed the 103+ kernel battry issue is gone
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mr.alawi:
yah i can assure you that the battery issue in CM7 has been gone now i can

enjoy CM7 for full day plus 3 hours with wifi+data+music including calls,sms and tweets

thanks FXP for such a great ROM ! :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] everb00b:
is the brightness issue been fixed in FX104?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] superlimau:
Video recording fix?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] m2kk:
In the FXP104 changelog for X10 there is:

[X10]

- new adreno libs

A while back there was some discussion about new libs for the GPU in ARC as well. The word on the street was that there are some big gains in using it. Has this been already rolled in for the newer Xperias, and if not, are there any plans to do it?

Thanks!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Petter88:
No, its a shame really
[Xperia Arc Android Development] superlimau:
What brightness issue do you face? Seem ok to me.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] superlimau:
Ive just flashed fxp104 and seems to lose 7% in 3.5hours of standby. Is that consider a drain?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Petter88:
You set the brightness and turn the screen of and on again and the brightness is lower, if you open the brightness control again and just touch the slide putting it back in the same place it was before you touched it brightness well be higher again but will be lowered as soon a the screen is turned of and comes back on

Also the ROM lacks a auto brightness function
[Xperia Arc Android Development] superlimau:
I get errors like 'your device is not compatible with this app' and faced error downloading apps from android market.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dp94:
Try to reinstall market and if this doesn't work try to wipe everything in recovery.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Petter88:
Do you have a LT18i that its mislabeled as a LT15i , heard that would cause market problems
[Xperia Arc Android Development] superlimau:
I removed market and tried again but same result.

Let me wipe using recovery and feedback

---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 PM ----------

Nope, mine first batch of LT15i... :p
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cezarL:
Wait..

Did you change the screen density, by any chance?

It will cause such errors, if you don't use a patched Market apk.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Zocker Tko:
Hi , i get the same error for the Facebook app with default LCD.density.

But can you say me where i can find the patched market? Because i use LCD.density190 and switch only back to 240 ,when i use the market.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kuroyukii:
Hi. Does Doomkernel v18 work with this rom?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] superlimau:
I Google and read about that but didn't change any screen density.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] superlimau:
No. You need to use the specific kernel for cm.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] superlimau:
Not only Facebook but also some local apps here in Singapore I encounter similar errors.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cezarL:
Here's the patched apk:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] superlimau:
Eris market fix solved my problems.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
+1

Anyway... I still experience big battery drains. Actually, battery lasts equally long like on stock. Battery life is really poor. If I use data all the time and surf, I can get maximum of 6-7 hours. If I played games and listened to music, along with surfing the net, I doubt I'd get more than 4 hours on one charge. When I read people's comments saying they can get at least one whole day doing all that, sometimes even two days with moderate use, I kinda can't believe that...... How's that possible? :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
Hi FXP!

Long time since i started using Free Xperia Team's ROMs (Back on X10 days with the Froyo betas)...

Anyway i've got an arc recently and i was wondering if it is possible to add the MTP support to this ROM?

I've restricted rights at my work's computer and the only workaround to mount the SD Card is using MTP mode, could you advise if it is possible to use it? and if so what's the procedure or what i need to do?

thanks in advance!

i've open a isse to fxp for battery drain.

honestly cm7-fxp 104 is awesome but without juice to last the day, it's a letdown.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
I'm having problem with "Process system stopped working". It shows now and them, randomly. Doesn't matter whether I click Force close or Wait. Mostly nothing happens. In rare cases my phone reboots after that message. Aside from that, sometimes my phone randomly reboots, in the last several days it rebooted randomly quite a lot. Sometimes 2 or 3 times in a row. Any help regarding those problems?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] starfly2:
I`ve got another annoying Problem, wondering if i` am the only one experincing this..

The Rom is Unusable for me,because the Keyboard of CM 7.2 isnt working well on my Arc 2 with Doomkernel V5.

---> The Buttons for Spacebar etc ( all buttons on the screen edge ) in landscapemode are not pressable... U have to hit them "exactly", 1-2mm above the edge of the screen.

In comparison to the Original rom ( Iam using again ) u can write easily and hit the edge of the phone, the Spacebar is pressed properly.

A noob like I`am are, would discribe it like "the lower end of display in landscape mode is not touchable , in EVERY keyboard ".

Curious about it is, the Apps, Menus etc. are all working well. But start writing in Landscape (Hardwarebuttons right side ), the lower edges of the phone seems to be dead..

But writing Landscape with hardwarebuttons Left, it works ! ( unpracticable for surfing )

Someone Else ?

---------- Post added at 05:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 PM ----------

Okay I`ve seen its a known bug, but it seems to be more important to implement apps and ant+`s than having a working keyboard on an MOBILEPHONE... Iam freaking out...:rolleyes:

Sorry, it sounds ironic, it is ironic !

Whats worth of the best Rom, if even the Keyboard isnt working well, nothing 2 me as normal Phone user ( Phoning, Smsing, little bit surfing, emailing ) ^^
[Xperia Arc Android Development] matteh80:
That is a known bug. If you rotate your phone the other way so that you have the hardware buttons on your left all buttons work...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] CHez0or:
I have since gone to Xperia Mod ROM because of this and a few other things that never seem to get fixed. I bought my Arc for the features it has such as HDMI-out, FM Radio, Bravia Engine, X-loud... none of which worked in CM7. Im not trying to bash Devs of Cyanogen or anyone, but you have lost my support
[Xperia Arc Android Development] superlimau:
Fxp team is doing aa great job to honest. I've tested fxp41/48/104 and honestly I love cm7 so much. Give them time to work on it and it will come good. Its outright smooth on fxp104. If they can resolve kernel drain problems, I reckon it would be fantastic.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Used this for 3 days, absolutely beautiful rom and amazing job by CM devs and FXP aswell. So many themes to choose from, extremely stable, everything just works and is pretty zippy but switched back to arconium due to battery problems but it lasts me a full day with moderate every day use so nothing to complain about i guess ( a bit slower than arconium too, but not much to sacrifice)
