Will test the ROM for a few days. Until now everything works very well. 3G, GSM, WiFi works brilliantly. It feels very smooth, no lag. It's just fine.

I put all my apps on it, restored contacts and sms. I also put a Theme on and configured the widgets I usually use. Let's see how everything works out, but I'm quite confident that this will be a fantastic ROM when it's finished.

Keep up the good work.

Only one small issue: When I connect the phone via USB with a PC and then turn off USB storage I sometimes get a crash message. I'll post the message when it occurs again.

Will this rom (fxp027) be coming by next week???:confused::)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] depulle87:
If you made your backup with doomkernel you have to use doom kernel to restore.

here is how you do this :

- make sure you have the doomkernel and move the ''boot.img'' from there to your fastboot folder

- connect phone in fastboot

- open command prompt there

- type command ''fastboot boot boot.img''

- the phone now boots the doomkernel boot go in to recovery

- you are now in the recovery from doomkernel and you can restore your backup that you made before you flashed CM7

this is the best way to restore your nandroid back-up

good luck guys

Ya but at the mo there is no way of restoring ur data on top of cm7 so if ya want to run your current apps etc on cm7 you must use tb or same to backup/restore ur apps to ur cm7 rom
[Xperia Arc Android Development] depulle87:
true, back to titanium backup
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bmwbasti:
It's kind of funny.

First we get Roms without changelog, now we get changelog without Rom and no word if this Rom will be released or if it's some kind of internal test :D

A few word (only a few, you don't have to wright a book ;) ) would be very helpfull ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
Now that you have said it, its funnier. I don't even know where 27 came from? we are at 24 now and then a jump? or thats their goal? Or maybe this is a puzzle that if you solve you get a free phone.?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] eRajesh:
Um...does the camera work?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
Do you even care to read?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] eRajesh:
^I did read that. What I meant to ask was that is it even working partially?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
It force closed right at the beginning.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] eRajesh:
^Ahh! Thanks for the info! Appreciate it!

Asking this out of curiosity, why doesn't the camera work in most AOSP ROMs for SE phones? I remember the X10 also had major camera issues on AOSP ROMs like CM7.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kyraa:
I guess it's because of SEs drivers, which aren't open source and therefore needed to be built vom scratch to meet the requirements of CM7. Also the camera unit in the arc is quite new and exclusive to SE products.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jerpelea:
seems that unfortunately we will skip also FXP027(didnt pass internal testing)

FXP028 was released on Xperia X8 and Xperia X10 MiniPro only

now begining test on FXP029
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kyraa:
Just for the sake of feedback:

I've been using FXP024 now since saturday. It had aweful battery life at first, but fixing permissions in the ROM Manager seems to have worked. Before it was Android OS consumign about a third of the battery, now it's back to ~2 %. Something prevented the phone from going to deep sleep I guess. The battery consumption menu still is freaking out (Alarmdroid using about 30 %), but I guess that's just an issue of display since battery life is about what I had on stock .368-ROMs.

All in all it's very fluent. 3G, calls, WiFi and text messaging works good. I think I had slightly better 3G reception on stock .368, but I used a flashable script to improve reception (among other things). So it looks like it's about on par with stock ROM.

The landscape keyboard still has a litte dead area at the bottom, it's quite hard to hit space, the full stop etc.

Boot up times are good, but it takes an awful lot of time to get the device operational, because widgets take ages to load and ADW.Launcher is usually redrawn in the process. I use ADW.Launcher EX and 9 widgets in total. I also applied a theme using the CM7 Theme Chooser. It worked great, but maybe thats what causes the redraw at startup.

All in all it's very responsive and fluent. I think it's amazing. The only thing missing, of course, is the camera, but I'm confident you'll get that done. :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mesho Arc:
I heard that you guys close to solve the camera issue, I want to congratulate you guys, thank you for the effort you're doing on the ROM.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] NeoCream:
I just tried FXP024 but encountered some issues:

What I did:

1. Flashed the FXP-Kernel

2. Made through the recovery first an update (update.zip)

3. Installed the GAPPS

4. Wipe

When I try to start the phone everything loads well till I have to enter the PIN and right after I have to enter a so called 'SIM network unlock PIN'.

Is the radio-band different in this CM7? I'm running on Orange (Switzerland) and before applying the CM7-Update I was running on the 4.0xxx ROM.

Any help?

*Update: And the Home-Button doesn't work either.. the menu- and back-button are OK*
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kyraa:
Just press "Dismiss". If you're coming from a 4.0.x.x.x ROM, you'll have 3G and GSM.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] NeoCream:
I tried that... but afterwards I still get that icon on the notification bar telling me that I don't have any 3G/GSM :-/
[Xperia Arc Android Development] abhisheak.bansal:
when i installed doomlords kernal my home button wasnt working........so i relocked the bootloader updated my phone via seus and the unlocked the BL again and then installed doomlords kernal and everything worked fine..........
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kyraa:
Had that too at first. Than I flashed the Stock 368 ROM again using Flashtool, had the phone download all the network information for mobile Internet. Than I flashed FXP Kernel and installed the update and GAPPS via recovery, whiped the device and than it worked.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mooozer:
Hey guys I found a neat video on Youtube showing CM7 on Arc :)

If anyone cares - here it is:

[YOUTUBE]_rDgGsaAElU[/YOUTUBE]

it isn't the best quality but I think it shows the most interesting parts of CM7 working :p

(PS: it isn't the only vid on yt, but i think it's the newest 1 showing good progress on camera :D)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
Thats Bin4ry, teasing us with their stuff. They are awesome.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] NeoCream:
Ohh man such great news... seems like they got the camera working in VGA-modus... that's a first step.

I've just installed the new ROM (official) and will wait for the new FXP release :D:D:D

[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
@ALL

for those who dont have ADB...

here are the bare essential ADB files:

adb_files.7z

u will need 7zip to extract the above archive...

extract adb_files.7z to some folder on root of c:

then u will get 3 files:

adb.exe

AdbWinApi.dll

AdbWinUsbApi.dll

now enter this folder using windows explorer

next keeping the SHIFT key on keyboard pressed right click (using mouse) on a blank spot on the windows explorer folder and select "Open Command Prompt here"...

now u shouldnt get any problems

OR

windows "Start" button -> Run [if "Run" is not there then just press WINKEY + R (on keyboard)] -> type: cmd

and cd to the directory where u extracted adb files and then issue the commands
[Xperia Arc Android Development] shvyue:
Flashed 001 ver still bootloop.

And to DooMLoRD: I do have those 3 files in the same folder.

To J: I just tested on the generics UK rom, which can boot normally. At the beginning with the Sony Ericsson while logo you cannot do the adb shell (error device not found), but at the very end of the SE logo and the boot animation stage you can connected to the phone with ADB shell. Does that mean the current customized kernel cannot last that long to initial the ADB connection?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jerpelea:
unless we have an test device here is hard to debug

is anyone willing to sell his ARC?

we need fast an test device

this way is too slow

I thought you said that Mano1982 is sending you one, so that didn't happen?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jerpelea:
phone on the way we are counting days

THANKS Mano1982 for providing an ARC for testing
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
thats great!!!!

thank you Mano1982!!!

whats the ETA?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] PollPixx:
Good news, it its time to mod our phones a bit more, I start to get bored with it now as I like to test custom roms and I don't have the knowledge to get cm7, so we depend on people like you...

Sent from my arc or optimus 2x
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mano1982:
Nothing to thank for Guys, J is paying for it :$
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
BUT u are providing it!!!!

many many thanks!!!

this will greatly increase the development time...

thanks once again!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] l3ush:
You are very sincere jajaja

Ok, I have seen an new arc (end of april) factory free for 330~320€.

If i send mi Arc (bootloader is Lock) i will buy it.

Do you believe that the ARC with the closed bootloader will be able to be opened and to be able to put them roms?

[Xperia Arc Android Development] jerpelea:
as there is no recovery partition on arc we decided to put recovery in kernel (as se did on stock rom) and check 2 seconds at boot if a key is pressed

the same way we did on x10

this way we can implement ziduhu's xrecovery on arc and play
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mano1982:
Disable Pin Code in settings & restart mobile :) It may help..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] abhisheak.bansal:
how to install it?

i flashed the boot.img

entered into recovery and selected apply update from sdcard

and then there is a option of yes and no

when i select yes--update.zip.................it gives me an error cant open update.zip

BTW:-i have put gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip & update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-XperiaArc-LT15i-KANG-signed.zip in sd card
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
select install zip from sdcard

then navigate to folder where the zips are located
[Xperia Arc Android Development] NeoCream:
Well you can update from recovery.. you just need to rename "update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-XperiaArc-LT15i-KANG-signed.zip" to update.zip

But the question here is... what is the difference between making an update or installing from zip? None?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] festa20:
Nope not a difference at all, just easier to apply update.zip :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] infemost:
where can i download recovery?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] NeoCream:
Do as on the first page being told. Firstly, you have to download the CM-kernel and the kernel itself offers you recovery-options.

You can find the download link on the first page of this thread.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vigneshwer.m:
check out the new stock rom if u havnt....

Really ....it is not just the old rom again with a few flashy features.....

the new 2.3.4 is wicked

1) It is blazing fast(u d think ur phone jus became an arc s:p)

2)u should experience the battery life.....1 day super heavy usage....still at 40%

3)Am not discouraging the fxp team.......cm7 is still the fastest rom i have installed in my arc.....:)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jeRrRKKKK:
any idea if cm can solve the 0% battery issue?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] crazymister:
I have no idea, why don't you try it out? It's not like you have anything to lose., and let us know if it worked if you are going to try

Sent from my LT15i
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jeRrRKKKK:
i'd love to but my isp runs off shared connections so its extremely difficult for me to download files from fileshare websites. often i'll have to wait like 7hours only to find that 7 hours later my ip address just downloaded another file, so i'll have to wait another 3 hours later or something
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
I understand that this is not a news thread and only development but I though I should give an update to people waiting for more goodies of CM7 on their phone.

CyanogenMod 7 officially coming to Xperia smartphones

Of course, this is with the help of FreeXperia Team here. Thanks to them, and thanks for keeping our phone free.

Cheers,

Good job Sony, I think the 166,000 views of this thread suggest this is the right decision.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sidneylopsides:
nice! Donating handsets and code, impressed.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kiyu727:
You do realize that it's far less than 166,000 since most ISPs give you different IP every now and then so it's just i.e. 50,000 who viewed the thread 3-4 with a different IP.

It's much more accurate to count how many times CM7 will be downloaded from here once it's finished.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] festa20:
Add all the thread views together from x10 arc and mini etc... There are millions of views ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Max_eb:
Yeahhhh...

CyanogenMod is the Best Option for Android Phone!

Work Fine for me.

I waiting for the Camera aplication work anf OC Kernel...

Thanks for your work..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tsangwc:
HDMI and Camera

Hope the next CM7 will work with HDMI plus the camera from the Sony code.

Yes..

[Xperia Arc Android Development] jerpelea:
i am working on new kernel with lower voltages (to increase battery life)

can you help me test new kernel ?

please set governor performance and report any instability signs

thanks

this kernel used undervolted 1.2v cpu at max 1.5ghz speed

is stable for my device but can be unstable for others
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jerpelea:
hy all great news

all arc s devices that we could test are handling 1.9 ghz stable and all arc devices are handling 1.5 ghz stable

this shows the true potential of our devices over 50% boost in cpu performace

FreeXperia will publish sources for this imense potential but we will use only moderate boost for maintaining the balance between used battery power and frequency.

For regular arc we will use 1.4 ghz and for arc S we will boost 1.6 ghz maintaining same voltage level as it was designed by SEMC and almost the same power usage by optimising other parameters
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sinkster:
Trying cm for first time since my x10. Flashed stock .368, kernel thru adb, rom and Gapps thru cwm. Constant reboots for the last 45 mins, though staying on boot for a while so I'll persevere
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sinkster:
Been trying the new kernel but unable to get past boot screen. I need my phone, so tried the kernel from op and it's working fine. I'll try again later tonight or tomorrow.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Lancerfq:
I'll flash once theirs a fully functioning kernel and a stable rom but keep up the awesome work, the devs for all devices dont recieve the credit they deserve but support from one of the big manufacturers is a step in the right direction :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jerpelea:
thanks fot resting kernel

i will publidh new one 1.4ghz an 1.5v

this should be stable
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hygge:
Doomkernel v10 on my ARC runs stable at 1.5ghz with 1200mV. I need to increase this to 1250mV at 1.6ghz.

Here is my values, each tested individually with 3 times quadrant benchmark and 1 hour gaming of either order and chaos or dungeon defender. Setting them lower will make my device unstable and cause random reboots.

1 Ghz 950mV

1.1 Ghz 1000mV

1.2 Ghz 1050mV

1.3 Ghz 1100mV

1.4 Ghz 1150mV

1.5 Ghz 1200mV

1.6 Ghz 1250mV

1.7 Ghz 1300mV

1.8 Ghz 1350mV

1.9 Ghz 1450mV

1.8 Ghz is fine and the temperature stays under 40 degress even after longer periods of gaming. 1.9 Ghz is a bit too much I think for prolonged periods of time. I normally run it at 1.4 to 1.6 Ghz on a daily basis.

What voltages are the ARC S running at?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] superlimau:
what your voltages at from 122mhz to 1ghz?

i got random reboot at times by undervolting.

please advise.:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sinkster:
I don't undervolt the sub 1g freqs, it caused a few issues like reboots and fc's on some apps
