Very Nice Rom.

Next Build, Can u replace Home Launcher by SE Home 2.0.A.22 with SE Icon on App tray and Home menu being able to uninstall Apps by Click Arrangement Icon and Transparent. HIHI

I replace SE icon on Home.apk in Your Rom. Its very nice.

Thanks u so much
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ransel:
I prefer your SenseDroid V5 ROM than ARCDroid V1. More stable I think.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ilgreco112:
lol for never had problem with previous SE phones

and for my x1, from when I got it till the end of warranty, I did break it 4times and of 4 times they gave me a brand new one 3 times, even when it got 2days warranty left :D so after 2 years I had a brand new X1 just at the finish of warranty :D

EDIT: oh btw I stilll cannot answer calls (and when I answer with hardkey I have to turn speaker on/off ton hear something)

Can i install all apk file ??

when i try to get in application option it reboot. :(

On my phone it take 1 min and 48 sec to start !!!

What about ur ??
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] kampmalm:
What about battery time?

Mine lasts about 3 hours from 100 to 0% :(
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] skas_2002:
Try nand). Sd card roms are much slower and battery consuming.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] go_insane1981:
You tried to make ext 2 partitions? I have the same and made ext2 partitions and now it works, got the opposite with zeamdroid, need to run it with ext3 partitions.

@skas_2002

Depends on the kernel how batterylife is, can use Icedroid for 20h w/o wifi or data on and 6 to 8h with data on. ArcDroid i can use for 10h with data on and is as fast as IceDroid in my opinion.

Yep, Market App disappears after few reboots. It also happens in SenseDroid X. Any ideas ?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] aloysius987:
Cos certain gapps too old.

the thing is playstore replaces market. if tat appears then nothing is wrong. dont try to prevent market from updating since its going to update to google play store.

is there a way this to be instaled as a nand rom ?

sorry for my noob question but i think that if there is a easy way to be installed as a nand will have a better battery life and overall experience
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] CoolrunnerII:
It it not possible to do that. Why would you want to use this rom as a nand rom?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] kainjinez:
Hi Dev. jerrytan.

I'm using Windows Mobile 6.1 (Stock ROM - Stock SPL...)

I've downloaded this rom, copied it to EXT3. But when i choose zip and flash it, it freeze at flash screen (sometime in logo with text).

I tried about 10times but it nothing changed.

Please help. Thanks
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] kainjinez:
Thanks for your reply!

According below, i use stock rom, stock spl, run HaRET.exe (include in 7z file). It booted in black screen with so much white lines. After that, it showed only line contain "Recovery...", i pressed VOL DOWN.

It booted in CWM Recovery by Neopeek.

Choose zip and install. When it started show a symbol cycle (or sth like that), it stuck at that screen.

I dont know why, plz help

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Pugy365:
Bump, anyone with a working link for these. Sad to see all this hard work just disapear. I recently purchased a Sony Xperia X1 and am trying to find a good rom to install on it.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
Never face this issue before.

This is depends on the kernel.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] b8e5n:
Works great for me so far!

Unlike sensedroid and hendroid (two other last ones), when i am installing the Gapps, it does not break all the system, and everything works great!

The system still consuming lots of battery (it kills my battery in 2h of use, not standby).

The system is a bit slower than sensedroid and hendroid, but this is probably due to the many graphical effects...

Anyway, thanks a lot for this build!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ilgreco112:
jerry I still can't answer incoming calls by dragging onscreen button, +doesnt vibrate when getting sms, dont know if its kernel related, i'll try another and edit if it is
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
Hold the button and drag it SLOWLY, sometimes you need to drag it several times to make it answer the call. Yea I still can't fix that vibrate thing.:rolleyes:
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ilgreco112:
ok so if these problems are not kernel relataed I wont change it, but it's a bit annoying anyway,

Here I list you all the problems I got:

-dont hear anything when incoming calls (have to play with speaker to fix it)

-can't answer by dragging onscreen button

-cant hang up the phone with on-screen button

-Doesnt vibrate for calls nor sms even when I put option on "always vibrate"

I think that's all,

I also have battery issues (battery empty really fast, only some hours) + it shows 72% when its 35% in winmo, but this is kernel related, I don't think that it's your job =)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Pete Rask:
I've also had some of the already mentioned problems (but I suspect that many of the issues with builds on SD-card is to blame the card itself and I guess my card is getting old as well. That's my experience) but most of the times a reinstallatin makes it disappear.

However, I got one problem thus far that re-formatting/installation doesn't seem to solve, and that is my touchscreen doesn't seem to die out completely.

Meaning that when suspending the phone there's still a little glow from the LCD... :confused:

Wifi btw works fine most of the times without having to switch it on in WinMo.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
Did you set your phone brightness to 'Automatic'? The screen doesn't off completely when using Automatic mode, and thanks for reporting the Wifi. :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] dantexperia:
Hi!, ¿which kernel is better for battery duration?, any suggestions?, thanks!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
Kernel from XDAndroid is more stable. You can download it HERE. ;)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] dantexperia:
Thanks genius!, I feel great admiration for you! (:....

Edit: Sorry, ¿this is last and stable kernel?: 20111001_013904.

Yes it is. :)

ARCDroid V2 Released

ARCDroid V2 RELEASED. With working Timescape!

Another good news is: starting from V2, Russell.Eclair will join my development of ARCDroid. Let's pray and hope he will make this build become the BEST build ever! :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] mymailx:
Interface has been improved with nice welcome screen and application in home launcher.

I also found bug:

- I open timescape it shows "Sorry! The application Timescape TM (Process com.sonyericsson.timescape.ui) has been stopped unexpectedly, Please try again.

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] radzix27:
We should format all 3 partitions (system,data,cache) in CWM, when we want to install new rom?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
You should format SDcard To 4 Partitions :

- 1st partition: FAT32 (SDcard / Rest)

- 2nd partition: EXT2 (System / about 150 MB )

- 3rd partition: EXT2 (Data / about 250 MB)

- 4th partition: EXT2 (Cache / about 100 MB)

* Make sure all partitions are set to PRIMARY
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] mymailx:
Ow sorry I don't read them clearly... thank you
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] radzix27:
I didn't mean format sdcard...I've already got SenseDroid and I want these build (ARCDroid), so I go into CWM and what should I clean (system,data,cache) ? Or simply install from zip without clean anything?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
You can install it directly, however full wipe was always encouraged. ;)

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ilgreco112:
i think this depends of kernel
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] willi4m:
i have problem with market, my x1 not detected and not compatible....

what is the solutions?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] nokia.vertu2@gmail.com:
Does anybody have this problem:

*Wifi On

*3G On

Then I let the phone go into sleep mode, around 30min~ 1hr, I switch it back on and only the touchscreen works and I loose all operations on the keys, including slideout keyboard, however the power button will still respond.

---------- Post added at 06:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 AM ----------

Did you install the GAPPS? The market originating from GAPPS works perfectly for me.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] willi4m:
Off course i install GAPPS, I see the market version is 3.1.5, so i replace with 3.1.3 but still got the same problem.

Edited: Problem Solved after Re-Formated the SDCARD and do Fresh Install...Thank You
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
Key freeze and battery consumption was depends on the kernel.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] nokia.vertu2@gmail.com:
I was using the kernel packed in ArcDroid V1 and V2, I've just dl 20111001_013904, so let me do a few tests later on today again!
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] bronz1983:
seems that kernel 20111001_013904 is having problems with battery 100 % all the time?

I have also problems with market "not compatible with your device"

If you can fix market problems in both your builds it would be great, keep good work! ;)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
Apps not compatible is because of the lastest version of Market, Market had updated automatically from 3.1.3 (originally in GAPPS package) to 3.1.5 version which was unstable now. I found some a solution for you all:

Use Terminal Emulator (if you don't have it, download in Market),type the following command:

su *PRESS ENTER TO GAIN SUPERUSER PERMISSION*

pm disable com.android.vending.updater *PRESS ENTER AGAIN*

This will disable the Market Updater from updating the Market.

After that, go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Market > 'Uninstall updates' and then 'Clear data'

Your market will roll back to previous version. ;)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] bronz1983:
Thanks Jerrytan93! Now the market is fully working! :D :D

I prefer ygge kernel. If there would be ygge+glemson kernel (best of both) it would be great.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] antz123:
Jerrytan fabulous work, lot of thanks to bring some excitement back in an old phone

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
I can make a 2.3 ROM, but it was not suitable for daily use because not so stable, lots of force closes and bugs will be. I bet you all will complaint much more for that. :p

F1 CyanogenMod7 V1 by Faryaab was stable + I never got any force close when using this one :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
However I look at the comments it was so much problems for that build including skia bug. I will look for other build from other devices and try to port them to our X1. ;)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] codymamak:
2.2. is not so bad if so beautifully skinned and jerry made it soooo beautiful :D

I only have a small "bug"... I tried to use the timescape widget, adding my FB account but when I add info, the screen is using black font on black windows, so I cannot see anything...

Also, I always got some form of disconnection or cannot update after I inserted my login info...but I am not sure if it was correctly stored because of previous note, black on black did make impossible to check if everything was setup ok.

BTW I am using your own provided npkboot folder with each build and I find the kernel quite good, but a bit less stable than Ygge Turbo one ...even if that one has the keyboard problem ( I simply reboot when it's gone bad).

Jerry, do you suggest any other good (= stable, not much interested in battery drain , I can live with needings to recharge each day) kernel to test?

Thanks.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] saketforever:
hi jerry, very good rom but one problem! please help

when i install and run titanium backup app then it displays the following error message.

sorry, i could not acquire root privileges. this application will "not" work.! please verify that your ROM is rooted and includes BusyBox, and try again.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] casualt:
I say again jerry

why not work on a win 6.5 rom

there aren't lot of good ones out there

I LOVE latest 826x like you are using but I wish it came with SLIDEVIEW

how about you try your luck with that?

your so good at android...

T
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
I can confirm with you that Timescape widget is working 100%, no problem with updating status and timeline. I now trying to change the font colour, hope it will be included in V4.

I had included XDAndroid kernel in V3 which I can say that very stable. No key freeze and charging works perfectly. ;)

Hmm.. does it work on previous version? How about try to run it for few times?

I tried before to cook my own ROM based on 826x but never success. No matter what method I used, the 'cooked' ROM just came up like the original one, nothing had changed. I admit myself as a NOOB in Winmo. :p
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] mymailx:
Is timescape fully working yet in V3?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
No..only Timescape widget is working
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] nokia.vertu2@gmail.com:
Hi Jerry, first of all, thanks for the V3 upgrade!

Let me know if I'm doing anything wrong, as I'm having 2 little problems

1.) Wifi showing error after I switch it off and on

2.) Some programs not letting me download in Market (Saying: This app is incompatible with your AT&T Sony Ericsson Xperia X1.)

My installation procedure:

1.) CMW Recovery mode ->wipe data/factory reset -> install zip from sdcard -> ARCDroid V3.zip ->reboot

2.) boot into V3 -> reboot

3.) CMW Recovery mode -> install zip from sdcard -> GApps.zip -> reboot

********************************************************

Quick downgrade to V1 seemed to fix the problem with Market

Will test further with the Wifi switching on and off. The reason why I switched off Wifi was to prolong battery life.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] vannanta:
MY MAILX ===> wow your signature is arcdroid v4 ??
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
1. Try another kernel for Wifi problem, and you have to turn on Wifi in Winmo before booting Android.

2. The Market had updated itself to latest version automatically.

Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Market > Uninstall updates
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] casualt:
that would be amazing if you got it winmo rom working

going to try this arcdroid........
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ilgreco112:
I'll try it and report issues, I hope that the phone call issue is fixed, t's very annoying because I can't get phonecalls :x
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] casualt:
kernel included in v3 is stable so far no keyboard issues

BUT I am having major battery issues battery 100% problem and then also

android saying 76% drops fast sorta thing

then when reboot into winmo says a much lower percent like 23%

This needs to be solved for a stable version...

also when waking phone sometimes need to press many time to waken screen
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] tamakura:
I dont know why I cant boot into Android after installing Gapps and some apps.

I restored apps by Titanium. Is it Wrong.

I had same problem with V1. V2. V3...

But SenseDroid is normal.

Can u give me solutions?

I feel V2 is smoothest.

V3 is seem to be lag. I only install about 11 apps.

Thanks for interesting roms.

ArcDroid is the best among Android Rom for X1.

I like it so much.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
Yes, I also discovered that. So this is depends on your decision that what you expect the kernel to do:

Ygge's Turbo & Monster kernel- Correct battery reading, GPU overclocked (better performance), buggy charging, random key freeze, SOD sometimes

XDAndroid's kernel (1/10/11)- No key freeze, no SOD, perfect charging, wrong battery reading, no GPU overclocked.

Midnight's kernel- Wrong battery reading, GPU overclocked, no key freeze, no SOD, perfect charging, battery drain fast.

I dint try Titanium backup before, so I can't give you suggestion. But I confirm that you can boot into Android after installing GAPPS and ALL apps.

Lagging can caused by many issue: Too much stuff in home screen, too much apps installed, insufficient internal memory and RAM.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] tamakura:
Thanks for Reply.

May i try again.

I really want to use this rom. ^^

Hope to success
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] ericlam1218:
thx for share

but i have some problem to install ARCDroid GAPPS.zip

when i choose zip rom sdcard, it show below message, how can i fix it.

-- Installing : /sdcard/ARCDroid GAPPS.zip

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

E:Can't open /sdcard/ARCDroid GAPPS.zip

(bad)

Installation aborted.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] casualt:
redownload gapps zip file

copy all contents to sdcard card don't put in folder in sd card just to the sd card

then install v3 load v3 open all apps then reboot back into CWM and install gapps like you installed v3.

which kernel are you using jerry? XDAndroids?

don't use titanium backup i found it very bloated with useless stuff

I found a very good free one that has been flawless for me

saves the apps to root of sd card

its called app backup and restore
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
Yes, I'm using XDAndroid's kernel, and thanks for sharing your experience with us. :)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] nokia.vertu2@gmail.com:
Hi Jerry

would increasing the SYSTEM, DATA, CACHE partitions on the SD Card also improve the speed?

Currently I've configured as recommended:

SD CARD 4 Partitions :

- 1st partition: FAT32 (SDcard / Rest)

- 2nd partition: EXT2 (System / about 150 MB )

- 3rd partition: EXT2 (Data / about 250 MB)

- 4th partition: EXT2 (Cache / about 100 MB)
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] helicopter88:
No,It won't
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] codymamak:
Thanks for the reply, now I just know the widget is ok so it's for sure my chosen buggy old kernel :)

I'll try the new V3 + kernel package and report back. :cool:

I honesty like this Arcdroid build as the most graphically appealing and most "xperia-like" experience we can get on X1...keep up the great work!! :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] antz123:
1. Format SDcard To 4 Partitions :

- 1st partition: FAT32 (SDcard / Rest)

- 2nd partition: EXT2 (System / about 150 MB )

- 3rd partition: EXT2 (Data / about 250 MB)

- 4th partition: EXT2 (Cache / about 100 MB)

* Make sure all partitions are set to PRIMARY

2. Extract the Package then copy [npkboot] folder to root of SDcard

3. Copy [ARCDroid V3.zip] to root of SDcard without extraction

4. Run Haret and wait until the screen show 'Press Volume Down shortly To Launch ClockworkMod Recovery', press Volume Down button

5. While In Recovery menu, choose " install zip from SD card >> choose zip from sdcard >> select ARCDroid V3.zip'

6. After finish installing the build, return to main menu >> Reboot phone

7. Run Haret, this time let the phone boot into Android completely. After that, reboot your phone

OK AFTER Step 6 I rebooted the phone. And as said in 7 ran HARET again. However once it reboots it is going to Windows start up.....

I created the partitions however windows only shows one partition. just adding info if that helps

Also as said in Step 7 When i Ran HARET i got this message in the end before phone rebooted

Kernel panic - not syncing Attempted to kill init!

Any suggestions plz???
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] helicopter88:
It's normal that after a reboot there's wm..
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] antz123:
@Heli

Then how to reach to these steps

7. Run Haret, this time let the phone boot into Android completely. After that, reboot your phone

8. Run Haret, go into CWM Recovery, choose " install zip from SD card >> choose zip from sdcard >> select 'ARCDroid GAPPS.zip'

9. After finish install, reboot phone

10. Run HARET and leave it to continue booting into Android, you are done
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] helicopter88:
Run haret..
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] antz123:
i ran Haret

I got Kernel which i said in my first post.

Post that googled on error , someone said just leave phone for 10 minutes and that solves the problem. Surprizingly it did.

So I ran Haret n installed ARCDRIODAPPS as mentioned.

Rebooted via HARET

but still phone starts only with WM??

not android?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] helicopter88:
You want to run android,start haret,simple..
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] antz123:
Thank u Heli

got it done, however many times Haret hangs and does not go in andriod. plus ... battery got drained like in 30 mins
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] helicopter88:
Is your wm rom overclocked?

If yes,remove the overclock,run haret again,it should work 100%

Battery is still an issue,were you running wi-fi?

Just simply boot into Android without connect to pc. After boot into Android only connect your phone to pc

I can't promise you all with final version. Timescape need to change its font colour, launcher has to improve its speed, and I'm now busy with my Sensation. :p
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] jerrytan93:
ARCDroid V4 FINAL

Testing ARCDroid V4 by my own now. Much more faster home screen this time + FULLY zipalligned + latest busybox installed. Once the Timescape background colour was solved I will release the FINAL version to you all. STAY TUNED! :D

Hit the Thanks button if you will give V4 a try. :D

24/10/11

ARCDroid V4 FINAL released :D
