Quick question to save me trawling through 225 pages :)

To update from 104 to 105 can I just update zip in CWM without a factory reset?

And would I need to reinstall GAPPS?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] basketballman:
does fxp 105 contain sony bravia engine?

if not. can you add it to fxp 105 :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zainthesnipe:
where can i find latest cm7.2 fixes?

tried googlin and cyanogemod.com but cant find it

how do we know whats getting fixed?

btw great work keep it up
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chefchuck:
Pretty pretty please add support or option for ant+. Your releases are so rock solid, but I really really need ant for this to be my daily driver...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jerpelea:
yes

can be used without reset
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jerpelea:
i am investigating the problem
[Xperia Arc Android Development] superlimau:
Fxp, do I need to flash kernel again? Or is it same as 104?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Petter88:
This would actually be nice if it was always listed in the change log. Just a "changed kernel" or "unchanged kernel" on every new version, flashing a new kernel is s
[Xperia Arc Android Development] everb00b:
FXP, what about the auto-brightness issue?

can you disable or solve it? it's really annoying when i unlock and i have a dim screen.

other than that, its going great with the cm7 105.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
it is always advice-able to use/flash latest kernel... sometimes the changes in the ROM (changelog) are linked to updates in kernel...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] m2kk:
Since I keep all the previous releases on my drive I just do a MD5 to see if the kernel has changed.

BTW, it has changed for every release since about FXP46 (that is when I started using FXP)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] superlimau:
What is MD5, pardon me for that?

Or how can i do a MD5 on the kernel?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] terra-nova:
With MD5 generator you can built hash and so you can check a different between the two kernels or any other file.

Search with google for a MD5 generator and you will found a prakticable result.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] MrKingLouie:
I am still on DoomKernel v03 and its working fine with FXP105
[Xperia Arc Android Development] terra-nova:
Realy? And no battery drain? I have this problem with the FXP Kernel.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
please use the latest kernel from latest FXP release... we have incorporated some important fixes...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Petter88:
But is the kernel always changed? In that case I do get your point but I was under the impression that the kernel is only updated once in a while.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] superlimau:
I've flashed fxp105 kernel and flashed zip via recovery. Will go through a few charge cycle and revert on drain during deep sleep.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jjm34:
I have recently tried MiniCM7 with nAa-09 kernel on an X10 Mini Pro, and I was surprised to see it had the exact same touchscreen issue as the Arc (not registering taps on the screen edge in landscape modes).

Now the nAa-10 kernel is out and it fixed the issue. Just a heads up, perhaps this development can help fixing the issue on the Arc as well.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] terra-nova:
I use the 105 with the Kernel from this pakage. The CPU go in deep sleep, but battery drain is to high.

I think the Kernel is the problem. But I have no idea what I can do.

I use no widget. W-lan is off and data too. CPU is on interactive with min freq 122 and max 1209.

In use the battery drain is good, but not in stand by.

FXP team, I like your work, but I hope you can optimize this issue.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] stu1978:
Tried a few months ago and battery drain was very bad, been back on CM7 for a few days and it's much better now, smooth and stable too :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] WC_EEND:
Battery usage is fine for me. The only issue I'm having so far is that I can open up the camera app, but can't take any pictures until I reboot. Then I can take about 3, then I need to reboot again, etc (I flashed from the CM9 alpha build, so in a way this is an improvement). What basically happens is that the app freezes when I try to take a picture. It's both the stock camera app and CameraFX Pro. Video camera is not affected.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
Battery is good for me .. It's been 2 days with standard uses like few calls, SMS, Music E-mail and I have 32% left. Nice job J.

BTW I'm on Baseband 36.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] superlimau:
1% drain per hour in deep sleep last night. Fantastic work from fxp104 to 105.

5 euros for your great work!

Keep it up, this rom will go far.

:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] terra-nova:
Thx, I will also try Baseband 36. I hope for a better battery life.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rashid.fairus:
result:

camera=perfect!

camcoder=HD with no problem n perfect!!

battery=perfect!

weird,i have no issue at all..:confused:

FXP,did you add ics transtition animation n ics screen rotation animation?its in my phone,n its really cool!!

FXP,perfecto!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] NeoCream:
Can you also use 3rd party camera apps (like camera360) without any issues?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rashid.fairus:
yup,working perfect just like in the stock rom..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] shadow532:
I seem to have problems with portable hotspot and tethering the internet seem to load very long. Dunno is it a problem with the rom or my data plan because I have no problems surfing the net on my phone
[Xperia Arc Android Development] superlimau:
Let me test and revert on tether and wifi hotspot.

One thing for sure, auto brightness is not fix and I saw the changelog for fxp106 with ALS disabled to fix bakclight issue.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] shadow532:
One more thing I realise is that most of the time I play a flash video on my dolphin browser hd there will be a black screen with only audio coming out. Is this a problem with my phone, rom or flash player I have no idea
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rashid.fairus:
same here,plus sometimes media format cant be play like mp3 or mp4,need reboot to make it ok..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Rycon33:
Uninstall dolphin then reinstall it fresh as in without restoring data.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] smurfb:
I have trouble with battery drain with FXP105 aswell. The cpu goes in deep sleep but still consumes around 3-4% per hour. Normal usage working perfect but it is still impossible to use the phone for a full day because most of the battery will be used for idling.

Anyone have any suggestions how to fix this? Since many people here doesnt seem to have this problem I must have done something wrong :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dp94:
Which baseband are you using?

And how long are you using FXP105 now?

You have to go for some full charge circles.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rashid.fairus:
agree with dp94,even if you have calibrate your phone after flashing,you still need to wait for it to get perfect stat..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
FXP 105 working really good here, the only downside is that i'm not able to set Flash Player to work. I've tried installing and uninstalling the application so as downgrading from v11 to v10 back and forth with no success!

Any advise will be greatly appreciated guys!

Thanks!

Edit: I forgot to mention that I've tried with 3 different browsers, Stock, Dolphin 7 and Skyfire...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] superlimau:
Working perfectly ok on mine arc for both wifi hotspot and USB tethering.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] superlimau:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] superlimau:
What website you visit? Mine ok.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
I've tried for example www.youtube.com, Speedtest.net just to see if it works since both sites force you to use flash player... But in youtube I'm getting an error saying that I need to upgrade the client and on other sites I just get a litle box with a "?" symbol in between...

Thanks!

I'm gonna try Wiping all and flashin from Zero to see if it helps...

Anyone knows how to make 3rd party music players like winamp work with lockscreen music controls and status bar extended power widget?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rashid.fairus:
use widget locker for that..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] smurfb:
I used baseband -56 but switched to -36 now, and overnight it seems to have used slightly less, perhaps 2% per hour. Which is still a bit more than stock but still alot better.

I have been using FXP105 since the day it came out, and with this drain there have been a couple of full charge circles :)

Which baseband is best long lasting battery?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] terra-nova:
GPS is not found any satellite. Is this issue known? What can I do to use GPS with 105?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] shadow532:
i wanted to ask if 3rd party apps can work with stock cm7 controls. thx anyway.:)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] honglong:
Great rom. Thanks for all your hard work.

Any way to change the Freexperia boot up screen/animation to the sony ericsson one?

Thanks for your help!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] terra-nova:
Not so easy. This animation is in the kernel. You can change the CM7 bootanimation. But thats not what you want, right?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] honglong:
I would love it to show the sony ericsson logo, then the sony boot animation then go into Freexperia.

Is that even possible?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ronyscomparim:
thanks works perfect arc in S LT18i
[Xperia Arc Android Development] matteh80:
Seems like my GPS doesn't work. Can't find my location in maps when wifi is turned off. Known bug?

Otherwise great ROM!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] p47r0n:
CM7 Is awesome! I have few issues , whenever i try to flash the kernel that comes with cm7, it gets stuck in the CWM, sometimes it doesn't load at all, like missing text etc and sometimes i can browse in cwm but it freezes after maybe 2 minutes, however when i have the charger connected it works perfectly! So i tried flashing the kernel that came with update-cm-7.1.0.1, this works fine no issues like before. Why am i having this problem with the kernel that comes with the original download? Since a older version of cm7 kernel works on my phone but newer ones does not.

Another thing i noticed, is that the mic quality is 75% more worse than the stock rom is. People have difficult to hear me when i talk.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] terra-nova:
I have had the same problem. Solution: I have flashed the baseband 064 and now it works perfect!

---------- Post added at 07:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 AM ----------

You have so many problems. I think it is time for a full wipe and new clean installation!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] p47r0n:
I did several times... It works perfect with charger connected, but when i disconnect everything starts glitching like i described
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mycorrhiza:
By all the good work that has gone into CM7 I find it really, really sad that the stupid brightness bug has still not been resolved after all the time.

EDIT:

I see the backlight bug will be resolved in 106. Finally Thank You!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] matteh80:
Will flash baseband-64 and see if the GPS will work again! Thanks!

Question:

Does anyone encounter a problem in the e-mail application, while selecting text, in order to copy it? Normally I could just press the screen and drag my finger to select the text, but it isn't (hardly) responding right now.

I'm on a clean install of FXP 105, with the CM7 kernel.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] terra-nova:
For me it works perfect. The same base as your's but I use Kaiten Mail. Gmail I have deleted.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gechu:
Without trying the absolutely latest release, I´ve been having issues with GPS and tethering. Battery drain is also an issue but it is mainly when I listen to music via 3G.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
This is also an issue with Stock i guess... I've tried every possible combination and yet only CM7 gives "The best" battery while being on 3G...

I guess i'll have to live with it or be using 2G only which is not something really good for me...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jjm34:
Alright, in an attempt to figure out what's wrong with the touchscreen in landscape mode I have tried porting the nAa kernel fix to the msm7x30 kernel (in drivers/input/touchscreen/cy8ctma300_spi.c).

After finally working out how to build the kernel from source and booting it on the device I can confirm the touchscreen really does work on all edges in landscape mode with this change (on FXP105). I'm not very experienced in developing on Android (yet), so I don't know if this may affect some other things. It does look like a rather simple fix to me though, so I'd appreciate it if the kernel devs could look into this (as I'm sure will a lot of people here).

Edit: It's an Arc S I have tested this on.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] terra-nova:
Sound's good. I hope this fix found the way into the official kernel. I hate the not correct working keyboard in landscape mode.

For me, I have installed go keyboard from the market and have delete the one into our rom. It also works without the issue in landscape.

FXP106 works as 105 was working. One issue I found: after charge cpu dosn't go into deep sleep. Solution for now: reboot!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] superlimau:
Auto-brightness fixed?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] terra-nova:
No, not yet
[Xperia Arc Android Development] superlimau:
i encounter 2% drain per hour again for battery usage during deep sleep.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Petter88:
Mine goes into deep sleep fine after charging, what governor are you using? I'm on interactive
[Xperia Arc Android Development] terra-nova:
I'm using interactive too.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] lzyllp:
try do a full wipe
[Xperia Arc Android Development] terra-nova:
Yes, I will do. I still wait for 107 before I make the full wipe.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mycorrhiza:
Is the issue with the brightness "jumping" / being low after screen off fixed or is that what you meant with auto-brightness?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] superlimau:
yes, that what i meant.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mycorrhiza:
Sad... without that fixed it is not bareable for me to use :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
I still have problems with switching from 2G only to 2/3G. I have to reboot for the change to take effect. And the battery drains like crazy while on 3G, and on 2G when downloading something, like updating apps. And phone reboots randomly sometimes... actually, quite often...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dp94:
What problem do you have with switching from 2G to 2/3G?

You can't tell about battery drain, if you just flashed the ROM.

You have to go for some full charge circles (even after calibration).

And btw, which baseband do you use?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
When I tick the Use 2G only, it works fine, it normally switches to 2G. But the other way around is a different story. When I untick that option, the phone has to be rebooted so that 3G starts working again.

About the battery drain.. It has always been a problem on CM for me (generally, the battery life is somewhat like on stock, maybe even worse). Even after a week or 2 of use it still drains very quickly. It even drains in deep sleep with no data, wifi, syncing on... On stock, I had 1% drain in 8 hours on DoomKernel, under same circumstances....

Oh, and I'm on -56 baseband.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rashid.fairus:
batt drain issue,calibrate with this trick,

1.charge till full 100%

2.reboot recovery

3.unplug charger

4.in recovery goto advance,wipe batt stat

5.take batt off(while still in recovery)

6.wait for 1min

7.put back batt and plugin charger

8.boot normally,your batt should state 89% or something

9.charge till 100%

repeat 3 or 4 times,but not more than 5.

for a best reault,make sure your battery fully charge and fully discharge after using this trick,if this doesnt work,so i dont know:p

[Xperia Arc Android Development] pwntigo:
I see this running on few forums already but this has no effect whatsoever... you will hurt your battery over the long run too...

also battery stats have no impact on anything other than the stats you see in "battery use" tab inside about...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
I also get this kind of anomaly after a reboot...

...from kind of middle one like this (look at the end of the line usage):

...to extremities like this one:

The "jumps" are usually not that big. The average "jump" is around 5%...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dp94:
Okay, haven't notice such issues yet.

Try battery calibration and different basebands.

I can't tell which works best for you, but for me works -36 as well as -64, but -56 drains battery like hell and has a very unstable connectivity.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vladvertigo:
music player froze today. it was playing mp3`s for like one hour, and than after that it stops music for 2-3 sec and continue playing for another 4-5 sec, and that freezes again. looks fine after reboot now

[Xperia Arc Android Development] skuffle:
Just wanted to say thanks to FXP for all the hard work.

Just updated to FXP106 and it's superb - faster, more stable and has more visual candy than any previous version - I particularly like the spinning orientation transition :)

Great work - hope you can incorporate the landscape keyboard fix mentioned earlier in this thread - that's the only real issue I am having with this ROM these days.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iqlogic:
What about HDMI, xLOUD and Bravia Engine?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
Bravia and xLoud are Sony stuff --> won't be included
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iqlogic:
I install Arconium for now and this Sony stuff is fully working, HDMI too.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dp94:
That's because, it's a stock based ROM.

HDMI doesn't work on any other ROMs.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
I need help. My phone is stuck on FreeXperia boot logo after updating to 106 and isn't moving any further. I can enter recovery, though. Quick help?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iqlogic:
And there is any hope that CM will be support the HDMI?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chefchuck:
Start with wiping cache, and dalvik cache. When that doesn't change anything do several wipes/resets and wipe the caches again, then reflash 106, and gapps. Good Luck

[Xperia Arc Android Development] horby:
Have you flashed the correct .64 baseband?

I have Arc (LT15).

Because I had a .42 LT18 baseband before.

Then I have flashed the .64 for LT15.

After this I had the same problem.

Then I flahed again the .42 for LT18 (what I had before) and flashed the .64 just after it.

Now it is working well.

Maybe you have the same problem.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] blade828:
That might be it horby! I can't seem to find the .64 baseband, do you have a link?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] m2kk:
I had the same issue(have an LT15)...and got it working by flashing back the .42 baseband.

But I don't understand exactly - are you saying that you got it working by flashing the LT18 .64 baseband?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
I posted the same thing two posts before your's... lol......
[Xperia Arc Android Development] m2kk:
OK...now I just tried to flash .64 baseband again and it booted fine. Quite strange...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
Can you please provide link to .42?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] m2kk:
You can probably find a link to the .42 rom from the forums. Just download that and uncheck everything except the baseband when flashing with the flashtool.
