Ok everything works fine now. The best thing I love about CM are the themes. Just applied this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1243590 it's awesome. Thanks FreeXperia Team you guys rock.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
That is where I started but no 3G but vibration works.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pietr0:
That is one of the first things I tried but no success on both 3g and vibration.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
For me for the data to work I had to do 2 to 3 reboots and finally it took a while and automatically connected.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
that sounds crazy. I have been trying many methods for 16 hours and no luck. Probably flashed times with different settings. Still nothing. No 3 or G
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
When you wiped what all things you wiped from Recovery?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
Yes---

+ wipe data/factory reset

+ wipe cache partition

+ advance/Wipe Dalvik

+ advance/Wipe Battery Stats

all from recovery from CM Kernel

---------- Post added at 10:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 PM ----------

How many reboots?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
2 to 3 reboots mate.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] superlimau:
coming from .368 one missing features is the small orange icon telling you of any new email/messaging/miss call. how i wish it's available in the next updates. :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
Got 6 reboots already and not 3G. Vibration is working from the begining.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SXUsr:
This is why I can't wait for it to be fully official, then I'll start theming for it. :-)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kistigun:
installed FXP041 yesterday, everything is working(wifi/data/vibration/ect) The rom is very smooth and super fast. The only two bug i encountered are: my alarm clock didn't work this morning. My facebook/twitter/linkdin/hyves accounts are disapering after a while so i have to sign in again. Also i use launcher pro plus and a theme and sometimes the theme disapeares.

Just had a question about the cpu governors. What are the difference between them and wich one is the best to choose for battery saving(i gues 'ondemand')

Conclusion: Great work FXP & team!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JasonStein:
Guide to Flash CM7 in a correct way with vibration & signal working property

1.Use flashtool to flash baseband_36 (.tft)

2.Use fastboot to flash cm7 custom kernel (boot.img)

3.Use recovery to flash the rom (wipe cache & factory reset then flash the rom)

4.Start your phone and go to apps menu

chose "Dev tools" -> Bad Behavior -> Crash the system server -> reboot

Then you will have vibration and signal working property.

Enjoy it

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
where is this option?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kistigun:
in your app drawer there is an app called dev tools, u can find it there
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
Thank you for your method but after trying everything that you have said + flashing the file it did not work. Still no 3G. Are you on ATT network? What is your phone?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] adiktz:
Vibration works, 3g works, camera works properly...!!!

Tethering doesn't Work...!!! It keeps saying USB not connected...!!! One second it is connected and the next it says USB not connected ...!

Bottom of screen still unresponsive while rotated to 90 degrees ...!!! It is fine the otherway...!!!

And how do I install SE stuffs...???

EDIT: WiFi hotspots also keeps disconnecting...!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JasonStein:
Yes,I'm a att user and I have done those things which I have mentioned above and I have signal now.Btw,do you have GSM signal or you have GSM signal but 3G doesn't work?

What's your phone? ARC S or Arc? Mine is Arc.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
I have got GSM signal but no 3g. My phone is arc us unbranded
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
profiles are useless, I got to see that, and I'm always at max 1.2ghz and on smartv2 :)

btw, deep sleep works almost perfectly, 10% in 7.5 hours with wifi on. at least that's good to me, since on doomkernel it'd shut down through night if on 50% or less. which was weird.

also, is there really no way to get the sony ericsson stock keyboard???
[Xperia Arc Android Development] thorner:
I would like to understand this as well.

Can I use the same package although the processor and camera are different?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
as far as I know the camera is the same and the processor is just OC'd. correct me if I'm wrong.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pietr0:
this indeeds fixes the vibration issue for me, thanks! but on the storing of the APNs and thus having 3G connection I have no succes with your sequence.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] caoboth:
Im on vodaphone UK

Just unlocked bootloader last night (was on 2.3.4)

Flashed 7.1 and gapps

Only things that dont seem to be working are:

Vibration

3G at least i though so until i remembered my wifi was on and connected :)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] jlmcr87:
Downloading......
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tl883:
I flashed the ROM last night several times with different kernels. Somehow my Titanium Backup hardly works, every time I try to restore the apps it runs stuck at the "restore" popup. Not with all apps tho. The other problem I am having is that a soon I add a social app to sync with my contacts, I can't view an individual contact. The dialer "force close" up on me.

Otherwise.. it's perfect to me ;) freaking fast and smooth :P

Cheers Tim
[Xperia Arc Android Development] adiktz:
How do I add fonts to the Rom ...??? We had devnagri font in the stock firmware ... how do I enable it ...???
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sinkster:
for vibrate flash to 2.3.3 first.

the titanium backup issue may be due to restoring data from a different rom.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
It's a shame I can get only 7 hours of use (wifi turned on, minor net browsing, other usage, but not playing games). It says Phone standby and wifi each 27% of whole usage (7.5 hrs of deep sleep, phone up total of a bit more than 14 hrs). I was hoping the battery life would get better, but oh, well..... I have a feeling like it's only gotten worse. ><
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jlmcr87:
I get and error:

E:Can´t open /sdcard/update.zip

(No such file or directory)

Installation aborted

Why? update.zip is in the sd card
[Xperia Arc Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
About the 3g issues.

I can't remember exactly. But i think i saw a application running when i first booted the phone and was digging around the files.

Can't find it now.

Also my APN list is empty. But i still get working 3g.

Which makes me believe the APN settings might be stored in a application.

Try turning on flight mode on and off. See if that triggers anything.

Also try this app

https://market.android.com/details?id=osatek.apn.global

Just added my 3g settings from this to the APN list.

Sent from my Arc to your eyes.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] festa20:
Well worked on my arc doing it that way
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mano1982:
Does not seem to work for me :( Installed this app also, but can't save APN settings with this app either.. And this app can't download settings automatically, as when i click on "next", it says "Simcard not found" etc although Simcard is phone & phone is working normally :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pietr0:
same issue on my arc, no 3G but calling & textmessaging is working well
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mesho Arc:
Same here too, but i read that if u flashed the firmware provided in the thread then installed CM7 on it, then it will work, im gonna try it now.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] punkmonkey1984:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
Did you select "apply sdcard/update.zip" from Recovery? if so select "Choose zip from sd card" then select it manually.

@punkmonkey1984 I believe we have deodexed apks. Just looked under system found it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] aj700:
This worked for me.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

APNs are present and I get 3g data now....

I wiped /data and /cache before installing update & wiped it again after installing. then just a reboot. btw, it takes almost a minute before you really start getting the data connection working once its switched on.

Thank you FXP team. :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] GreyGhostRos:
Just installed the latest CM.. Now that the battery works i'll use it daily now :D

Thank you FreeXperia team..

Btw am i the only one who is having trouble using the last row of buttons in keyboard in landscape mode?? In Arc that is..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
If you guys miss stock camera try this modded camera from Play it works fine on Arc https://market.android.com/details?id=seb.camera.mod

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mano1982:
Not working for me :( I started from scratch again, but same result..

I have just read that some Xperia phones had problems with saving APNs with stock firmaware also. Read here:

http://talk.sonyericsson.com/message/111489

http://talk.sonyericsson.com/message/96600#96600

And they got the solution: when sim pin is enebled apn is not saving, when sim pin is disabled all is ok..

Now i go in my settings & see Sim lock & even it's disabled on my phone (don't need to enter pin code while phone booting), option is checked :S

See here:

When i try to disable pin code (which is actually already disabled) and enter pin code for disabling, it says "not succeed, Pin code may be wrong".. Pin code is not wrong, i have tested it with another Arc..

Can it be the cause of problem (not saving APN)??? Can others who have this problem, check pin code option???

This is the only bug in this ROM, otherwise perfect.. But i need my mobile data :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vitrum202:
same here... bout the 3g issues i saw that only ppl that have H3G meet the problem... maybe is a problem about simcard, (apn global say "missing simcard" or stuff like this)...

i hope that this could help the devs... i'm still looking 4 a solution, btw TY FXP 4 all this wonderful work ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mano1982:
Yes, i can confirm that APN Global says "Missing Simcard"..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vitrum202:
it say to me that is wrong, too... another clue toward simcard :P
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
Thank you, when I select the county and press next it says "Simcard not found! Please Check!"

I also got another app call APN manager which it sets my APN but internet doesn't come up.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hakhater:
I can confirm,,,,,,

3G work and vibration too ... coming from stock .368

Love your work FXP
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mano1982:
Yeah, but stock firmaware works with these simcards :p I hope we'll a get fix for it very soon..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dondavis007:
First of all, thanks for vanilla!

Its smooth and so far I only have one issue, some kind of sleep of death and some batterydrain.

Is there any way of using stock camera, I really prefer that one.

Thanks again!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] aj700:
I am pretty sure its my Telia Sim which played foul here. me and my colleagues have tested it some time back. with some sims from Tre n/w, some apps in market for saving apns has properly identified the sim. but never got any luck with this Telia sim card. :( I am actually surprised how this really worked now. :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
You know this is not the case with FXP24, if I install it it works.

plus there is one more person here that uses ATT network and his phone works with no problem so it should be the sim. maybe the sim kind?

There is something tricky going on...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mano1982:
And i am sure it's my Talkmore sim which playing foul here :p I had problems with gsm signals when i first updated to .368 some months ago. Even i got a news sim from Talkmore but could not obtain gsm signals. Ironically i got gsm signals with Netcom sim. Then someone suggested to disable pin code & it worked for Talkmore sim & i got gsm signals :) But i don't know what to do now :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] aisback:
camera is a bit slow

for some reason this morning it froze and i had to take the battery in and out to turn on

also the camera goes black sometimes
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Felimenta97:
No answer, will ask again:

The Kernel/ROM is the Same for Arc and Arc S?

Sorry for english
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mericon:
for me is the same issu as Mano1982.

But under fxp024 it worked.

Pls can anybody upload fxp024 again?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
Me 2.

I have all the files for FXP24 and will upload. I hate to be in this situation. I hope FXP don't mind it when I upload this....or fix the data or slap me in the face?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
Hm, I experienced some issues with lower keyboard buttons on landscape as well. Also, first random reboot O.o

I'll ask my stupid question again... Is it possible to get the stock SE keyboard?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] thorner:
+1

Want to know this as well.

Have anyone tried with arc s. If so what were the results?

Br Johan.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
You should try, that is why we are here on XDA...to try out things. Subject says Arc S too but lets hope it does. I don't have one but I would try it out if I had...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] aj700:
I am trying these on an arc S. ;)

result is better SW now. :)

give a try with instructions from first page. it will defenitley work. worth a try....

/Aj
[Xperia Arc Android Development] matteh80:
Seems like you can't get data with swedish carrier Telia... My carrier Halebop uses the same net as Telia... :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
With respect to FXP development specially J for his effort. After trying for 24 hours flashing many different method I am not yet able to fix the 3G issue.

I have uploaded this file since J has deleted the original FXP24. If you have any problem me doing this, please let me know and I remove it.

I have uploaded this for people in the same situation like me.

Cheers,

FXP 24
[Xperia Arc Android Development] aj700:
my carrier is also Telia. and it works for me now after starting from scratch, wiping data, cache, dalvik, battery stats etc.

btw, I see Halebop APN also present on my phone, so I am sure that is also supported.

/Aj
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Cim_XII:
Same here! No 3G data.... :/
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pietr0:
If you started from scratch, what firmware / kernel did you have before you started?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] matteh80:
Weird, have tried multiple times and wiped everything. Did you go from 2.3.3 or 2.3.4?

EDIT: Did you have to disable pin-lock for your sim? If I don't disable it, it says my pin is wrong when unlocking phone in CM...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
My sim in unlocked. Phone is not even branded but on the setting says "Lock Sim card" and its check "ON" and I don't know the password. any hints?

What the heck is going on?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
We just need to flash the kernel?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
everything. Flash the kernel and then in recover do the stuff with FXP24 RC1 file and then the Google stuff. Like a complete flash. Kernel is not the same as the new one. I have tried it and it failed so please do it as a completely new flashing procedure.

Good Luck

---------- Post added at 10:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 AM ----------

Did you mean you only need the kernel and you have the rest? I could upload the kernel only if you like.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Cim_XII:
Did this, and now mobile data seems to work!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
Lucky you, I did this probably 7 times and still no data. maybe you have to be lucky. what a waste of time.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
No actually I thought just flashing the kernel would fix the problem.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
I tried it yesterday and phone gets stuck at CM logo rotation around. I wish it was that easy.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
I don't know how I got the E symbol but still no internet i.e. Google says I don't have Internet connection when I try to sign-in to setup sync. :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DemonicHawk:
For those with vibration issues, I originally had issues as well coming from the latest .268 firmware but I flashed back to the .368 firmware first and then re-installed CM (remembering to wipe data and dalvik cache from the advanced options) and got everything working.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] adiktz:
I have a H symbol and it works pretty fine...!!! Yes Google does show error but pushing the retry does the job...!!!

Missing the stock keyboard...!!! I got used to that so it's quite difficult now to type on this keyboard...!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] M1K3E:
data problem definetely seems to be with sim lock.

unable to uncheck lock sim card

"not succeed, Pin code may be wrong"

data is working with some networks and not others. just my luck that my sim for daily use wont work.

sure the solution will be here soon. just a matter of waiting guys.

@ freexperia.. amazing rom. great work guys. :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Felimenta97:
I was saying about the Arc S because I'll buy one in about 2 months, and wanted to know If this one works on it or It has to be another files (I don't understand so much), something related to build.prop or Framework-res.

Sorry for english

Hi, at last i can test CM7 :3 !!

Congratulations for the development of this great rom :) ..

I have an observation on the current version..

The auto brightness mode isn't available on any application for energy control, i just can set 30% or 100% but no Auto option using the light sensor.

On the stock rom i use widgetsoid app and show the auto brightness mode :)

I've noticed that I'm missing the facebook widget...?!?! Anyone else...?? First time I came from 4.0.1 stock version and i was missing vibrate... So i reflashed everything back to the 3d post 4.0.A stock version and 3g + vibrate worked...... but now i'm missing the facebook widget...!! Going to reflash again and look if it helps... Reinstalling the app does didlidoo..... :@

[Xperia Arc Android Development] av4tar:
hey guys, had this bookmarked waiting for the release and been reading for the past few hours to make sure i understand the process!

have my arc with the bootloader unlocked and rooted since i had it when it came out, its running droid 2.3.3, build 3.0.1.a.0.145

im judging this is the best practice:

-flash SEMC 4.0.A.2.368 FW with flashtool

-flash new kernel

-apply cm update

-apply gapps

my challenge is flashing the SEMC 4.0.A.2.368 FW, i add the fw to the firmware folder, load up flashtool with admin rights (laptop has vista 32bit) when you click flash no FW is found :/ something im doing wrong? had a search of the forum, and google but to no joy! searches pull up alot of flashtool info but not for what im after! possibly to tierd as well after work :s
[Xperia Arc Android Development] festa20:
Male sure its just the fw ftf file u put in firmware not the folder with the ftf file inside
[Xperia Arc Android Development] av4tar:
100% its just the ftf file, will retry downloading the file again just incase its corrupted, but have to wait 20mins before i can redownload it!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] elgorgon:
Almost everithing works ok coming from 368,vibration included,but there still a bad response of the screen in the limit of the left side, u can check this writting on landscape mode, when you touch some letters of the last line,...

Its really disturbing...hope it fixed soon.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] av4tar:
sorted the firmware error, file was corrupted as the new download unpacked fine! bit late to muck around with it so all loaded onto a flash drive, find some time at work to mess and report back!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
so has anyone figured any solution to the Data problem?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
I hope this logcat can help to solve the issue.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vx_ru:
First of all thanks to FreeXperia Team for great job. CM works excellent and is much faster than the stock ROM (even .283) and have many features and settings I've missed in stock ROM. For now I've encountered only minor problems such as

1)Third-party applications (such as Barcode Scanner) can't work with camera showing just a black screen instead of captured image (built-in camera app works perfectly)

2)built-in usb tethering doesn't work (when turning it on PC shows connection for 1 or 2 seconds, then disconnects) with external app "android-wired-tether" it works

3)Droidwall gives the following error when trying to apply firewall rules :modprobe: module 'ip_tables' not found
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mericon:
Hi nimche,

i think we had to find out wich files are changed from the radio interface layer and should try to replace that files with the fxp024 ones.

the kernel is okay because with new kernel but the fxp024 system it works also for me. So it must have to do with the system.

It have to be between sim <-> RIL or RIL <-> Framework i think

maybe only a conf file?

or the RIL files in bin folder or the ril libs?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
It's nice that you have gone that far. I have no idea what is going on with this stuff and was hoping for a developer to share some ideas. Even though J is insisting that I should have missed a step in flashing procedure but with number of people with same issue and + the fact I don't have any issue flashing the FXP24 and get 3G, makes me sure that there should be a fix in the file.

in addition, I tried the kernel of FXP24 and flashed the FXP41 and it did get stuck at boot.

EDIT: boot.img from FXP41 works with FXP24 ROM and data from FXP24 works. so what you said above is correct.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mericon:
so i replaced some file but no luck :( has any dev an idea wich file i should replace?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
how did you replace them after flashing or before?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mericon:
before.

i just put them i the right folder in the zip file
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
Can someone please tell me where the screenshots are saved to? I can't find them anywhere. I can only see them in Gallery. And in Details it says "unknown location".

EDIT: Nevermind, found them.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] refract:
Somewhere on your mem card, obviously ( I'm quite of a Sherlock :Đ ).

Check the name of your SS in gallery, connect phone to the PC and just perform a windows search with that image name typed in.
