Vibration is working for me & i can tell what i did :)

I flashed back to .368 firmaware, then started phone, then went in fastboot & flashed CM Kernel, then flashed new ROM, started again.. And then flashed GPPS file in Recovery.. :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] YouZi:
Can you guys upload a few photos and compare them with photos taken by stock ROM camera?

Has the image compression gone any better? :D:rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sinkster:
I can confirm lack of vibration is from 2.3.4 f/w, flashed 2.3.3 and vibrate works
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tl883:
on my way back home, can't wait to flash the ROM :-D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mericon:
so now vibrating works for me too but data isnt working for me well... cant save my APN please help

and android meas my PIN is not correct but it is ...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] lil_devil:
Thanx a lot FXP

Been dying to get mt hands on this Rom
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sinkster:
once you've flashed 2.3.3 sign in and set up your apn. it should be retained on the new kernel.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mericon:
i will give it a tray but what is the problem with the PIN?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jamaljmys:
life started again... thank you FXP team...:)

will report back?

Better camera App

This camera app has a much better interface and feels it works better

To get this camera, go into system/app find camera.apk rename to something else like camera1.apk

The icon should disappear.

Then simple install this apk from your file manager.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mericon:
I tested out why my pincode is "incorrect" but the only thing i see is a small icon in the statusbar showing a little simcard with an "!" in it, but under fxp024 i havent this problem (also with the new kernel form fxp041) hope you can help me :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
First time using CM :)

It's pretty damn fast, but I've yet to see how it works with loads of apps installed x)

I can confirm that vibration is working. I'm coming from 4.0.A.2.368 firmware with DooMLorD's kernel. I haven't upgraded to 2.3.4 version due to problems with vibration and connectivity on doomkernel.

There are so many options for camera I'm in awe :O

Great job :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pietr0:
I tried quit a few sequences (coming from blend2 kernel):

1. flashing cm7, installing gapps, rebooting

2: first downgrading to 4.0.A.2.368, configuring the phone, flashing the CM7 firmware, flashing google apps

3: first downgrading to 4.0.A.2.368, configuring the phone, flashing the CM7 firmware, rebooting, flashing google apps

but I never get my 3G working (still unable to save APN's) or vibration working.

that's the only bugs I've discoverred so far.

Booting is very fast and the rom is very stable.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sinkster:
daft question maybe, but did you wipe the phone after flashing zip/apps?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pietr0:
Yes, actually I tried both, wiping and no wiping but the later gave my nice bootloops
[Xperia Arc Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
Try re-installing the CM7 kernel.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sinkster:
came from blendv4 myself, initially flashed stock 2.3.4, then cm fw via flashtool, cm kernel via fastboot then fw & gapps via cwm, wipe data and boot. did the same with 2.3.3 for vibration, so strange...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kyraa:
Everyting works fine. Got 1915 in Quadrant first try without installing any of these "makes your device faster" scripts. Good work freeXperia!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
Vibration does work but no 3G on my Lt15a. What do you guys exactly wipe? Just the Factory reset?or something extra?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
I came from the 2.3.3 rom with doom kernal, not the 2.3.4,

Simple installed the kernal then flashed the firmware, then wiped, everything works fine.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kyraa:
I came frome .283-ROM. I downgraded to .368 and configured the phone. Then I flashed CM7 kernel, installed update.zip, my backup I had from the time when I used CM7 FXP024, gapps,zip, whiped the /cache partition and rebooted my phone. Everything works.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] meidan95:
still have the force close problem of "com.android.phone" and the phone says i have no sim card :(:(:(:(:(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] akusokuzan:
now that we know CM7 is pretty much a go, all we need is to get the bootloader unlocked for those branded handsets =\
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
@Jerpelea,

PM left. I can test out files with no problems till you get the device.

@akusokuzan

Blagus is working on that and soon should have something, you should follow his progress in his thread and these two will process paralleled together.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] akusokuzan:
I have seen that thread, but he doesn't have a device to test it on. From what I gathered, there's no way to write the TA files which he needs to enable fastboot so its waiting for flashtool to have that functionality as well.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
can we have a kernel like this:

CF-Root for SGS2 su+bb+CWM3
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jerpelea:
after we start stock kernel
[Xperia Arc Android Development] robertkarlsen:
Sorry, the ROM you linked me won´t boot. Just looping. Sorry :mad:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zenkinz:
Does it mean cm7 is now an cyangenmod officially supported devices?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Hypercore:
Hey jerpelea, I know you have lots of work already but if you do get time would it be possible to get a workaround for the disabled Fastboot on Rogers devices?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pngface:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] abhisheak.bansal:

and jerpelea will get his arc this week

so it can be a fruitful week for arc.........

:) :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bmwbasti:
Wow great news :)

Hopping that the flash procedure is kind of "idiot proof" then. Arc is my first android device so i'm really an idiot at this area :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] depulle87:
really great news xrec made life a lot easyer on the X10 and I'm sure it wil be the same here.

@ bmwbasti

When Xrecovery works ( and it will ) flashing is easy even for complete noobs
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Juevani:
is it necessary to unlock the bootloader to be able to install xrecovery?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
Next time when this thread pops here, I hope its Jerpelea with some good news or I may have a heart attack... I should have donated for a faster shipment of the device to him.

@Juevani, its likely requirement to have unlocked bootloader for recovery but lets wait and see what will come up.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mano1982:
I wish i could send it with faster shipment, but my economical situation is really bad. I bought Arc for 446 Euro + 38 Euro... (Faster shippment from Norway 180 Euro & i couldn't afford it).. And i sold it for 300 Euro.. But i wish i could send it with faster shippment :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
I wouldn't mind to chip in for a better service. Its done anyways, thank you for doing this + do you have some sort of when he should be expecting it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mano1982:
Yes, package is already in the country where J lives :) Tracking of package tells that package is awaiting custom clearness & next step after custom, will be to deliever it to J :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zenkinz:

Have anyone tried this on an ARC S LT18i?

Any other special things I need to think about before installing this on my ARC S?

is it the same drivers, the camera is changes and also processor, compared to LT15i...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] fuadjalil:
Installed it on three different Arcs. Downgraded to .368fw, without even booting the phone, flashed the cm kernel, installed custom zip from sd card, then gapps and wipe date/factory reset, all of them work like charm, no issues so far and my APNs were automatically configured which was nice......
[Xperia Arc Android Development] spideras:
i came from Lt15i 2.3.4 and i the vibration yes..i dont have it...but the 3g works!and i also install svox classic and svox Ariadni (its greek tts for guys ho dont know) and that was it,when i was going to the settings of Ariadni the Arc stuck for a while...and the shutdown....i do it again....slowly but i have go into the settings.i dont know if accually is a problem but i just say..and also the smart keyboard....sometimes when i go to correct a word....well..the keyboard go to invisible mode?wtf?

thats all

thanks FXP the rom is great and iam a first time user but please correct the stupid bugs
[Xperia Arc Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
Try:

Fast boot, install kernel

Recovery:

Wipe every thing

Install the new cm7 .zip

Wipe again.

restart phone to see if any issues !!

If no issues.

Back to recovery flash Gapps

Wipe once more.

Reboot to see about any issues.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
I have been doing the same thing since this morning for fourth time now and no data coming.

---------- Post added at 09:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 AM ----------

when you say wipe everything, what menu are you talking about?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SXUsr:
Can you please use MediaFire, which is free, no waiting times, and better than hotfile.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] fuadjalil:
Wipe date/factory reset

also wipe cache partition (won't hurt)

you can go to advanced and wipe dalvik and battery stats as well

I'm guessing you're a CDMA.... that could be the difference
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
NO I am on GSM and I had the FXP 24 with no problem but this one for some reason doesn't want to work.

Anyone else with any solution?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] matteh80:
Damn. Says my PIN is wrong... Will try again!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] spideras:
disable the pin lock with other phone.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
and of course I just flashed back to FXP024 and data works. There should be something in this one that my phone doesn't like. darn APN issue is killing me. :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] meidan95:
still the same thing it didn't help \=
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
I can confirm that wifi, data, camera and vibration are working. After installing many apps (maybe even around 200 (: ) everything is still very very fast. I had one force close, though. I think it was the Setup Guide app. ><

You don't need to whipe user data. dalvik cache is enough.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bheremans:
paste the log after you tried to set the apn's if you don't have adb installed

use wifi and some applications like alogcat / pastebin to poste the log.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mericon:
APN issu comes from simcard i tried the simcard from my girlfriend and this works but mine not. i posted logcat few posts before
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bheremans:
Sorry didn't see that. In the log files i Saw this :

E/TelephonyProvider( 386): Failed setting numeric 'null' to the current operator

I/TelephonyRegistry( 225): notifyDataConnection: state=0 isDataConnectivityPossible=false reason=apnChanged interfaceName=null networkType=0

I got this with a version a builded from cyanogen git. I resolved it with adding a line in build.prop that was missing :

ro.telephony.ril_class=semc

see commit

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/f30bd742b838d3de0429c95612fe93005c41c528

after adding it data connection worked on my selfmade. I dind't need it to change on FXP041

But maybe it can help you .. maybe removing the line ??
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mericon:
tried it, but nothing changed :(

i also noticed that android show me the wrong network. (it shows E-PLUS bt i have BASE.DE)

so the problem is on an other thing i flash back to fxp024 and pull the system and try to get it working by try and error ...

i anyone have an idea wich files i should replace it may have success

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
when you connect your phone in fastboot go to your windows device center and there should be one with exclamation mark which driver is not installed and you can direct it to that folder on your PC.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] aisback:
"windows is unable to find driver software for your device"

i've tried it
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
try updating the driver with the same folder or .inf file.

It should be able to find it.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] pradeepvizz:
Ok here goes my story,

I was on SE.Tweaked ROM and tried to come to CM for the first time.

All i did was to flash boot.img using fastboot boot boot.img - i suppose this flashes the kernel also.

After booting into recovery, i ran update from zip - update-cm-7.1.0-XperiaArc-LT15i-KANG-signed.zip and then gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip

Phone boots up screen is completely blank and black, except for the notification bar, 3G and Signal level. clicked on the menu and could sometime see wireless options.

I did try to clear cache/data/dalvik many times in between the process to see if it works.

Tried to flash .368 and repeat the process - same result.

Skipped gapps in the process, i could see the CM 7 wall paper - line strokes moving around. Lock is seen and i have no clue how to unlock it. i tried to swipe, does not unlock. Tried to call in my mobile and could see calls being received but screen is completely blank except for the notification bar and icons on the notification pane.

Is there something i have missed, please advise.

Update: I missed to flash from the kernel rather i did boot from the kernel. Thanks to Bin4ry for pointing out my mistake :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
Is there a way to install the stock Sony Ericsson keyboard? That is literally the only kb I can work normally with. :( It takes ages for me to type on this and I tried out many other kbs but every one of them have failed me. :((
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Bin4ry:
you have to FLASH the kernel NOT boot it.

fastboot flash boot boot.img

SE does not allow flashing kernel partition via recovery. Maybe we find solution for future releases to flash it over recovery, but for now you have to flash it via fastboot first.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] finbaar:
Firstly I can confirm that FXP041 really hates the stock kernel lol. However once I got that right I have tried everything and all is well. What a super fast ROM this is and 2.3.7 as well! I went back to .368 first so vibrate works for me as well as data. Of course we need to see what the battery life will be like but fingers crossed it will be OK. Thanks to FXP (I wiill donate for the second time after having a Blade)and SE.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
Battery life seems as same as stock or Dooms kernal.

Iv been running it since for about 11 hours, Not noticed any drain.

Only thing i can complain about are

Kernal does not remember your last settings, it reverts back to stock settings after reboot, or at least for me. No frills CPU reports 'Unclean shut down'

EDIT: i think you need to tick 'Save' in the cyanogen mod settings

Also

Status bar brightness control does not seem to be working, when swiping left and right on the status bar.

Apart from that, really good first un-beta release. happy as a pig in mud :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Okluzhion:
2h 23min on 67%... some crazy stuff going on with that battery drain... definitely drains a bit faster than usual.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
Adjust the CPU as its set to the highest speed the kernel will allow it.

Iv turned mine down too

Min: 368
