Excuse me, where can I find a list of the latest versions of CM 7.x.x and changes between them?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] quinstar:
Tried googling it?

Tried the wiki?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] waanz:
Here is what I did and it worked:

- download the kernel file from the first page (2nd post) of this thread.

- extract the recovery.img file and use fastboot to flash it as the boot partition:

fastboot flash boot recovery.img

- clear userdata:

fastboot erase userdata

- boot into your newly installed recovery:

switch phone on and press "volume down" many times until you see the recovery menu

- download the CM7.1 beta 7 (or later) from the first page (3rd post) of this thread

- do not unzip the file, rename it to update.zip and copy it to your sdcard. (I had no sdcard reader so I used "adb push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip". It even worked while in recovery

- choose "apply sdcard/update.zip" from the recovery menu. (do it twice).

- reboot...

- you should be done.

Wohoo. Thank you!

[Xperia Arc Android Development] lil_devil:
Awesome....I am jumping into this Rom tonight...

Now the only thing more that i will require is The camera...Awesome work guys..!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] add2005:
Anyone tested it ? It still lags ?

I would like to know if it is allready usable.

There are only 2 things that i need from it : headphones and camera.

But if is usable i would like to put it on my arc.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Rycon33:
just few things i noticed:

- gallery can be opened now (previous versions causing force close and phone reboot)

- keyboard very responsive now (though the sides and bottom edge of the screen still quite difficult to register a press)

- notification panel hard to push-back up (needed to press "back" or "home" button to clear it)

- ADW dock always gone if accidentally swiped-up any icons from it(maybe it can be fixed on ADW settings)

all in all, it's usable. others experience could be different from mine.

i only usually care more about music and internet on this phone most of the time, so it's enough for me at the moment.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] meidan95:
tried the 009 and i still have the problem with this pop up massage "com.android.phone stopped unexpectly...." and afer i pick force close i don't have sign :(

and i done know if that's need to be like that but applications don't work for me like the browser or fruit ninje and some other.... please i need help !!

I shuld mention that the problem below didn't happend in SGS and it happends to me in any xperia device.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] add2005:
It seems that headphones are working... :)

Radio FM doesn't.

And camera is rebooting your phone... i think i will stay with it :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
Amen to that :)

Great job guys .... :)

i cant exit recovery.

reboot still in there.

any step i miss out?

----------------

oh, i miss out the kernel.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Rycon33:
i wiped userdata first in the recovery before proceeding to installing the updated zip file, you may try it

*but of course wiping can be done also after installing it
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sahha:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] add2005:
The screen still flickers :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sahha:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] meidan95:
there is a problem in the first launch of the market almost all the apps i pick to install can't found in the market and the screen not responed in the bottom...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jerpelea:
bad news for everybody

camera has to be written from source and due to new semc sensor will take a hell of time and work

wo we will finish this rom and then we will start work on camera

progress till now

increased app comptibility

patched cpu

wersion 10 will come in 24 h
[Xperia Arc Android Development] lil_devil:
It works wonderfully..been testing it for 2 hours now..

Tested some games and they work perfectly

Music works on headphones

Da onli issue is da keyboard as da last row does not register touch properly

Also notification bar does not go up unless the home or back key is pressed

Apart from that scrolling is still laggy..

Tested for benchmarks:

Quadrant- 1651

Neocore- 58.6 fps
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
damn that really bad news... we all stuck at the same level as X10 eh?

why cant there be universal camera/wifi/bt drivers? it would make the lives of the devs a LOT easier...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] add2005:
There are still some random reboots. And sometimes the launchers go crazy... The rendering become unstable. only solid colors. No more textures... Only a reboot can fix this.

I'm using MX Home Launcher, but i saw that the problems apear in both LauncherPro and stock launcher.

And sometime it lags too much.

Now for example my phone become so slow, and is imposible to use. i need to take out the batery and put it back. :)

maybe is comming from video driver. Rendering lags.

LE: egllocksurfacekhr function is responsible for the hangs :)

LE2: also it seems that /sdcard is not mounted properly... it's empty. but /mnt/sdcard seems to work properly. and reboot into recovery doesn't work.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jerpelea:
@RECOVERY - power is ok key

small progress

-fixed keyboard and lags
[Xperia Arc Android Development] maidguitar:
woah, quadrant 1600+? Seems crazyfast compared to a stock 2.3.3. Can't wait for the end result! Watching very closely...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] lil_devil:
Well dis was da score at 1.5 ghz
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
well thats fairly low... but this is expected as the ROM is still work in progress... once we get a final release we can have a much fairer comparison...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] lil_devil:
In general dese small changes are the ones that I need...da rest of the things are working superb ..wen will dese. New improvements be uploaded J.??
[Xperia Arc Android Development] lil_devil:
Yeah I figured ....any idea if speech -to -text. Works. ??

Not able to install voice search from the market
[Xperia Arc Android Development] add2005:
Anyone has problems with /sdcard ? mine is empty... all applications can't see sdcard files... But i can browse the sdcard in /mnt/sdcard
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
well actually, at the moment, i dont have my Arc to do testing...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] lil_devil:
Having da same problem
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
check if there is a symlink at the root folder (/)

generally /sdcard/ is symlinked to /mnt/sdcard/

ok here is how to check:

(adb shell)

adb shell ls -l /

OR

(terminal emulator)

ls -l /

that is "LS -L" in small caps
[Xperia Arc Android Development] add2005:
solved with :

ln -s /mnt/sdcard /

from adb shell
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
use the one posted above ^^^

i keep forgetting exact linux commands ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] add2005:
No :) this one will create an subdir in /sdcard...

so using your command the sdcard will be /sdcard/sdcard :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ucubz:
running CM7.1.0 - BETA 009 for about 5 hours now, no random reebot or force close app message. 3d is working with some lag and some screen tear in vertical scroll.

I have problem with touch pointer, it seems like phone not recognize touch in right most and bottom most part of screen. I do test both with YAMTT and dev test pointer location, the most right position is about 460, and bottom is about 842. Maybe that's why we have problem with 'p' in keyboard and notification bar cannot go up.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jerpelea:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] kazuni:
Got it, i have downloaded the update zip, but I can't find the CM7 Kernel you mentioned here in 1, 2 ,or 3rd post in this thread. Can anyone provide them?!!

FreeXperia Team will release a new flashtool soon, this will be based on fastboot, for easy switching kernels etc.

Any suggestions from users here what should be included?

Best Regards

Please make a mirror on mediashare.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
PC based kernel/ROM manager!!!

(we already working on the android app for that ;))
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Bin4ry:
That is the intention of the Flashtool :) BUT problem is still -> from recovery we cannot write kernel only system. So fastboot is needed to write boot partition.

It is not like on other android phones, boot partition is NOT visible from userland, only mpu / s1boot can access it. We are trying to force it from kernel, but yet no luck.

But still we have fastboot ;)

This is really bad news. depend on fastboot is not cool.

fortunately i got 12G data bundle with my plan
[Xperia Arc Android Development] meidan95:
Why i don't have an option to send files via bluetooth?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] funkyblue04:
Thanks for all your hard work! Unfortunatly if the camera cannot be added it's not going to be very useful.

It will be added. All you have to do is wait...!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] shtreber:
hi guys, i m new into this developing, is there any custom kernel for Arc which OC's to 1.5 gHz but on stock rom-not on CM7.1? i've read this thread, there are some users who got it on 1.5
[Xperia Arc Android Development] norberto_:
It would be nice to have a custom kernel with OC for stock roms but this kernel not still not available.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] add2005:
Touchscreen has gone crazy today. Had to remove battery.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kenjichui:
use it for whole day.

1.auto reboot few times.

2.sometimes type words in the blank column in some website after typing the words gone. have to retype again.

3. HDMI not working. connect to the LCD TV that i use it few times a week when using stock rom. now show nothing. prompt nothing.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] depulle87:
''HDMI - from source - almost ready'' - second post of this thread

so not working yet
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
I just want to know if Bravia Engine will ever work?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] add2005:
I dont think that it will work... from what i see is something on the software side. not hardware.

What problems i see now :

1)I still have the problems with reboots.

2)Sometime it doesn't boot. I need to plug the usb cable and wait for the batery image to apear on the screen to power it up.

3)I see that i can't listen music and use facebook for example, because it will reboot.

4)Also i found that if you start the fm radio application(it doesn't work at all anyway), the sound from headphones will disapear if you want to use an audio software after. The music application will play only on phone speaker. The headphones icon is still there in the status bar. I tried to unplug and plug headphones again but without success. Only a reboot can fix it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jerpelea:
almost shure will never work
[Xperia Arc Android Development] adiktz:
Ooh...!!! That was what arc had special...!!! Doesn't matter though...!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jerpelea:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] add2005:
Works really nice now...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
J,

Thanks for update. I had a time to come back here and flash files.

Instruction that you have talks about Update.zip which is not part of package.

Only thing that is in the 7z file

system.img

boot.img

Everyone got the same thing or there is something wrong here?

Thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Rycon33:
looking better now, really nice! thanks freexperia team!

@nimche

yup, 2 files only, copy those two to your fastboot folder then open command window there:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot reboot
[Xperia Arc Android Development] meidan95:
please pay attention to my problem
[Xperia Arc Android Development] maharz:
hey mate did you fastboot erase userdata ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] meidan95:
yes from fastboot did not work and from cwm did not work.

for now i have a sign and 3g network but any time i'm reboot my phone or turn it up i get that massage and then i don't have sign so i need to switch to plane mod then reboot and pick force close on pop up massage and then to get out of plane mod !

it's complicated...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ucubz:
Testing for J011

- All reported bugs is fixed.

- No tearing screen.

- Touchscreen now working perfectly.

- No FC from ADW launcher when using desktop dots.

- No random reboot (so far)

- Things missing : Theme Manager, DSP Equalizer, and seems like you remove FreeXperia bootanimation (no big problem since we can add it manually)

- Quadrant result : 1696, CPU speed 1024Mhz

Still testing, I'll post if I found bugs. Thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jerpelea:
fastboot eraser userdata will solve you problem
[Xperia Arc Android Development] meidan95:
in landscape on the bottom the touchscreen doesn't work

another bug i found: if i slide my finger on the home screen from the bottom to the top the notfication bar is disapperd and when i slide my finger from the top to the bottom even if i don't touch in the bar on the top it shows me the notfication bar (hope you will understand something)

For jeperlea i tried the comennd fastboot erase userdata but it's didn't work...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ucubz:
confirmed, in 270 degree landscape bottom part of touchscreen doesn't working, in 90 degree the right part that doesn't work. In 180 degree both right and bottom still suffer problem, but no big problem since no one using their arc upside down :)

you can refer to ADW setting > General Behavior > swipe up and swipe down action, change as you like. default option when you swipe up is show/hide statusbar. so it's not bugs.

when you issue command fastboot erase userdata what you get in return in cmd?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] meidan95:
fastboot tells me that the commend complete and there is 0 bad blocks

when I'm boot up my phone i see the commend did the job but i still have that problem...

Can it be that this rom is not support the israeli sim cards? because when i put cm on galaxy i didn't had that problem
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Vintiem:
Installed B011 and whow it is incredible fast!!

Jerpelea (and other dev), excellent job!!! Haven't SE offer you a job yet????

A question about this rom. I dislike some cosmetic things (its pure personel I know) but can I replace a CM07 apk for an original SE stock rom APK without creating problems? Or do I say something stupid now?

Look forward to hear from you (or other expercienced users)

Kind regards,

Vintiem
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ucubz:
I don't clearly understand about your question. If you don't like stock launcher, yes you can change it with any launcher you like, launcherPro or Go launcher ex works on J011. Or if you miss original launcher you can try http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=978806

Wifi doesn't work anymore :) in this build...

Worked on 010 but was pretty buggy, but now, i start it, and it stops after few seconds, without displaying any error

from logcat:

E/WifiHW ( 179): Supplicant not running, cannot connect
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Vintiem:
Lockscreen is a little bit to easy to unlock, Happened twice today. Is it possible to make this one slide a little bit further before it unlocks??

I don't like the phone dialer with the icons (telephone/contacts/favorite) on top of the screen. Like the Stock SE one with these at the bottem.

Launcher is oke, because of screenrotation possibility on homescreen. SE Stock can't.

So Is it possible to replace apk's without errors?

Is the background of the settingsmenu a png/jpg file or is it a color programmed in a XML file?

@ Jerpelea: also can confirm that WiFi doesn't work as well. No error warning but it stops after a short while

vintiem
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ucubz:

In the new 011 build Recovery doesn't work anymore (just not starting). Tried with button VOL DOWN.

A bug in the market: cannot set content filtering to "All Applications". >.<
[Xperia Arc Android Development] add2005:
So everytime i get a call or a notification when i listen music, or using any app that uses sound, the sound goes away until reboot. Got this issue 5 times today :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Rycon33:
noticed that dsp manager and theme chooser are not included

anybody knows where to get the APKs?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tRippinthehead:
These applications have been included in the previous build. Perhaps in future integrate them again.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jerpelea:
small progress 012

-recovery fully integrated and automated in build system

-optimised system

-added all missing cm7 apps

-fixed market keys (should fix missing market apps)

-enabled animations

-standard graloc from cm after kernel patch

-disabled bravia engine (will not be available in cm rom)

many more to remember

i had downloaded BETA 012

i cannot find the <update.zip>

also my arc LED light BLUE but it does not show anything on the screen after i press the volume down key......

can anyone update the guide.,....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tRippinthehead:
You need enter in FASTBOOT mode by holding menu button and insert at this time usb cable into the connector. If you have successfully connected the LED will glow blue. Then run FLASH_ROM.cmd from the package (all the files from the package should be unpacked in the same folder) and wait...

For FASTBOOT mode drivers on PC must be installed.

In this version update.zip not provided.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kl041534:
how to install the FASTBOOT drivers??
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tRippinthehead:
-32/64bit drivers: http://www.multiupload.com/0XZV1LXRVA

After connecting the phone to a computer in FASTBOOT mode, the computer should ask you to install the driver.

If you do not understand then watch this video, there is also a process of installing the drivers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRH3pC7MhEA

Or enter a search query on YouTube: how to install fastboot =D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jerpelea:
on arc recovery can be hosted on

-kernel partition as in shipped roms (safe)

-system partition as on older se devices (safe)

-separate recovery partition (unsafe for now)
