You don't have to flash modules, since they are already included in cm7 ROM
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tommy paradise:
is this version powerful?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SXUsr:
Even more so when it's been tweaked. ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dmbardal:
Yep. Tried booting and flashing. Neither worked.

Tested the doomkernel. Worked, but I dont want to use an kernel that trains the battery faster than usual.

So it seems to me that the included CM7 kernel is faulty?

Tried the one provided in the 7z package and in the .zip within the 7z package. Neither worked. Resulted in a black screen on bootup.

(previous versions of CM7 + included kernel have worked.)

Edit: Booting the CM7 now provides me with no launcher at all.

Only thing visible is the statusbar.

Tried with the provided kernel and Doomkernel.

Also flashed my LT18i with the .42 baseband prior to the kernelswap and\or install of CM7.

Edit2: The kernel that follows the package seems to be faulty.. ?

I used the kernel from here just to try it; http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1341705

and using that kernel + the CM7.2 I downloaded from here worked.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dmbardal:
And isnt there a way to make the ROM understand that I have an LT18i instead of the LT15i? Annoys me.

Says LT18i when I connect the phone to the computer (SE PC Companion),

but when installing apps from the market on my computer it still says LT15i.

(Also says LT15i on the phone itself ofcourse.)

Editing the build.prop seemed to do it.

Just replaced everything that said "LT15i" with "LT18i" ;o
[Xperia Arc Android Development] skuffle:
lgcamera works well with this version of CM7 on the Arc. Been using it for a week without any issues - just play with the settings to get the best output.

I think the highest 'working' settings were posted in this thread a while back.

Went from V44 to V50 by flashing the included image and applying the CM update, and finally wiped the cache. My pure-calendar widget had to be re-added but apart from that everything went well without loosing data.

I've followed instructions, but I still don't know exactely what I am doing. Does anyone know where I can get more information about how firmware flashes compares to the boot image flash? How the CM update.zip relate to the boot

image?

Where can i find a file to edit the Camera Picture Compression ?

In CM7
[Xperia Arc Android Development] captainstabbin:
I've got a question about the market access with CM7. I haven't had my LT18a for very long, so I just now started messing with new roms and such.

Anyway, when GTA III came out on the market the other day, I bought it and downloaded it. It worked just fine on the stock rom and I played it for a bit with no issues. However, when I put CM7 on my phone, the market recognized it as an LT15i and wouldn't let me re-download the game. It says it is incompatible with my LT15i. So, I went in and edited the build.prop file so that the market recognized it as an LT18i. It still said it was incompatible with an LT18i (looking at the market online, as the game doesn't even show up in the mobile market). So, I then went and changed it to an LT18a. Same result. Incompatible. It's got me confused. I thought sure that would work.

Also, Chainfire's "Fix Market Settings" command didn't help either. I don't know if this is isolated to GTA III or if it occurs with other apps as well.

Does anybody have a workaround for this?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
Did you try this? Eris Market Fix - Free

This also may help

http://androidforums.com/spica-all-things-root/98024-protected-app-market-fix-tutorial-build-prop.html

Please let us know.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] captainstabbin:
Nimche, my friend, you are awesome. The Eris fix did the trick! I literally spent hours trying different things to figure that out last night and somehow never came across the Eris solution. Everything seemed to suggest that editing the build.prop file or using Chainfire would work.

You have been thanked!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iqlogic:
Hi guys,

first thing first, sorry for my english I'm from Slovakia and second thing ... can I restore original FW on my Xperia Arc S from backup that I made via CWM?

It's enought when I wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and then restore original FW from backup? Or there is more things to do?

I flashed CM7 to my device for the first time, so I don't want kill my phone by restoring the generic FW from backup.

Many many thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] emperact:
Is FXP051 being released? Or is it being skipped because of ICS?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
Either of the two. I am sure they are up to something but we need to wait till they let us know.

FXP FTW.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] captainstabbin:
I wouldn't complain about either! I flashed the ICS rom to play around with it yesterday. CM9 is going to be pretty awesome.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] emperact:
lol dude, I'm not complaining. Just asking.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] matee89:
Hey! First of all, thank you Free Xperia Team for your awesome work!

Tonight I've installed CM7 on my Xperia Arc (hate bloated Timescape stock ROM).

I've got rather a small issue. I cannot use Live Wallpapers. There is no such an option when i want to set my live wallpaper. I even downloaded some on the market but still no option to apply it.. any solutions?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] captainstabbin:
Oh, I realized that. I was simply stating that I would be happy with either one.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nöt:
Quick question.

I have cm7 on my arc, but the version is like a month old or even more.

Is it just to update using the version 50 file or do I have to reflash the stock rom etc like it says on the first page. Or its just to update since I already have cm7?

And I wonder if i can install clockwork mod some how so I can autoupdate new versions?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
recovery is part of the boot.img (which you flash boot in fastboot), FXP always recommend to start fresh since there are many things has changed.

You don't have recovery now?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nöt:
In rom manager you can choose to have autoupdate or just click "check for new rom". Then it says i I have to dowload Clockwork mod. And when I try to do it I cant choose Arc in the list?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Petter88:
Unfortunately you can't do it that way on the arc. You need to download the file to the sd manually and then install through clockwork recovery (reboot and press volume keys during boot)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nathalex27:
Hi 2 all. I have a problem. Its my gf's phone and if i cant fix this I'm as good as dead like her lt15i arc is right now. The problem is, I flashed the required lt18i firmware and now the phone is dead.

Fastboot and flashmode work but I get the flashtool message that I must reboot and enable debugging, wich last i checked was enabled. I the message when it tries to flash loader.sin. I hope anyone has a fix. My testikels thank you all in advance since there gonna be kicked by gf if not fixed.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nathalex27:
Btw Tried flashing stock and several other roms, same message. Tried fota unbrick thats only 2 .sin files and @ loader.sin, same message.The other. Sin file ( forgot name @ work now) was flashed so flashing and thus a fix must be possible.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Petter88:
If fastboot works just try flashing the boot.img and install cm7 from recovery. Why would you need it to boot with the LT18i firmware? It's just recommended to flash it to have the right radio file afaik
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nathalex27:
Thanks for your awnser. You think I didn't try? It fails 2 boot. I flashed boot.img, tried lt15i ftf but that fails 2 complete. I'm stuck. I flashed my omnia 2, renoir, and galaxy s2 I'm not a complete noob.

And by no boot I mean black screen nothing. When I turn on the phone it vibrates once and green led flashes once then nothing.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nathalex27:
Well update, I flashed lt15i 145 ftf and got to system then got message again. Same message on the loader.sin is locked? Now when I try 2 flash using fastboot It says phone needs root. But rooting uses. Img file via fastboot so how can that be? I unlocked and rooted the phone. It boots to sony erickson screen and then nothing happens. Please help.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Petter88:
You'd be surprised how many "noobs" would put posts just like yours in this forum. I'm very sorry for trying to help, won't happen again. Good luck

bug: Audio recordings distort - doesn't happen with ICS

I'm on Arc S but I bet it's the same for Arc:

1) Install TapeMachine

(perhaps go into its prefs/Advanced and turn on Disable AGC - doesn't change anything).

2) Record something LOUD.

3) Notice that the recording distorts/compresses even though it's only at 20% amplitude (I think -20 dB or so from max). Distortion/limitation should only happen if input goes to max or "above" max filling the screen height). The input seems to have amplitude limitation.

4) Try the same using ICS alpha (or perhaps the official 2.3 firmware) - the audio recording are perfect - no distortion until the signal goes beyond 100% as expected.

I suspect the sound driver has amplitude limitation turned on by default and its API can't turn it off. The driver from Sony in their ICS alpha doesn't have this problem so I know it's not a hardware problem.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nathalex27:
I don't want to sound ungratefull, I'm not. And sorry for my english it's not my native language.

I'm sorry if I gave the wrong idea. I did not do it intentionaly.

ANY help is greatly appreciated.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SXUsr:
Not everyone has English has their first language so there is no need to be so rude!

First of all don't apologize for your English as it's perfectly understandable.

Try this...

1. Flash the attached boot.img (I THINK, it's the 42 pre-rooted kernal boot.img, it's from my fastboot folder)

2. Flash the 4.0.2.A.0.42 Generic Global from HERE.

3. Reboot, wait at least 5 mins, if nothing has happened after 10, report back.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Petter88:
I didn't start with the rudeness and I wasn't referring to his language in general but the tendencies to use "2" instead of "to". English is my second language to so I probably make alot of mistakes, so it was just that I tried to help and got a smug "do you actually think I haven't tried that, I'm not a complete noob". Guess I was in a bad mood, sorry.

Any chance that the FXP could fix the issue with the 3rd party camera apps like camera360? In the last built I used (FXP049) the viewfinder of the camera360 app stayed black.... maybe it got fixed in this release?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Petter88:
Either try "SlideIT" pretty close to swype but offcourse not the same.

Else go get the new swype beta who is free, beta.swype.com or something...

Cyanogen is a light weight kind of rom meant to be customized by the user so I doubt swype will be implemented in core
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sieplake:
I tried this ROM, and it's great in basically every part apart from the camera taking lousy shots "compared to stock ROM" is there anyway of getting the camera to work properly... (camera is important to me)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] tyrand3:
really ?:confused:

i think camera in this rom is better than stock rom .:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dvfk:
Yes. Install the igCamera (pro?) from the market. Works nicely if you tweak its settings (e.g. jpeg quality = 100).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sieplake:
Thanks a lot (for the camera recommendation)... Now the pictures are just as good as on stock ROM! (I also changed to the kernel included with the rom instead of d.kernal.. If that might have something to do with it???)

Once again, Great rom... And can't wait until it gets its first ICS r.c... :)
