[Xperia Arc Android Development] hanifh:
selecting accounts and sync causes a FC. flashing with baseband 56 causes permanent bootloop on boot screen. how do I sort out the FC?

edit: wiped and reflashed including flashing kernel from scratch and that seems to have sorted it out. also, the new theme is beautiful but in chinese. any way to convert it to english please?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mr.ultraman:
the button backlight still not fully working,when!switch on n off the screen brightness the light will light up until the screen locked

The v8 themes is freaking cool, love it shows Se logo,op I have a request, can u make a bootanimation,I can show u the video thru YouTube like, if yes I will pm u the link =)

Thx so much Jason
[Xperia Arc Android Development] emperact:
Thank you! Works on 1.11.4?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nujhum:
you need to flash it via fastboot.

im on it now, for about 3 hours.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] swavab:
Thanx nujum..it was by mistake..thought dat it s flashable zip to unlock cpu..then wat abt ur 3hrs..any improvement on draining.?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nujhum:
lols, np.

hmm, hard for me to say it precisely.

i guess, its just the same as before. no crazy draining issue.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iAchilles:
hi dude ...

which kernel are u using !? v7.5 or v8 !?

and how long is ur battery life-time !?

thX :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] emperact:
I have now been running this ROM for almost 24h. I really love it, haven't ecnountered any problems, and my battery life is perfect, maybe better that stock. I am sorry for those people who have a silly battery life, but I didn't do anything special, it just was like that. I flashed from stock SE 2.3.4 baseband 56 to MIUI v08, without flashing baseband before or anything. Jason, this is some awesome work, thank you! :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] xexijreil:
Have you ever tried Blendkernel v02?? If yes which one would you consider is better in batery life? And in performance??

Anyone who has tried both please answer :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] emperact:
No, I have not. As I said, I went directly from stock to v08 (first ever custom rom flashed). But I am pretty sure, that the v08 kernel is the best, because it is the newest, and in that one lies most work and I guess that it is more optimized. :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] xexijreil:
I am currently using Blendkernel v02 since 2 weeks and its battery life is great, I miss a better performance but it's ok. I'm reading some posts about new version and some says that there is battery drain and others that say there isn't, with v02 everybody say there isn't battery drain. That's why I would like to read from someone who has tried both ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mafiapanda:
Can someone please help me on this one:

STEP 2: Use flashtool to flash baseband 56(just like the way you flash SE firmware,if you are already on baseband 56 you don't need to flash it again)

I've already tried using flashtool, but i get "Error flashing, aborting"

I got told i should use recovery, but how do i do that?

Thanks in advance!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JasonStein:
You can flash 2.3.4. 42official firmware instead of flashing the baseband.

Then kernel and rom.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hanifh:
bugs/findings after 24hrs:

-laggier overall compared to last version

-volume buttons dont work from launcher/homescreen. only work within apps

-battery drain slightly better than last version including the PSKernel

-SD card read access slower than before

more to follow...

-wifi keeps disconnecting

-mobile network keeps going off randomly

-screen on drain is mental. about 1% a minute
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kyraa:
The volume buttons do work for me, though.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] swavab:
Ya you are correct..more laggier now on popups and on google talk typing and some oder instances also..!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kyraa:
Did you flash the provided boot.img with v8?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nujhum:
update.

full charged and switched on around 8.40am today, watch and downloading some videos for about 1hour.

some minimal use with wifi switched on all the time,

listening to music,

checking xda, ebay, facebook ,

and forgot to set screen timeout and was on for 3 hours ++ until just now.

currently left with 35% battery life, at 4.46pm.

usage total of 7hours 59minutes.

im pretty satisfied with the battery life.

Update2. Time 18.33.

Battery life 20% with minimal usage. Browsing, xda, checking email.

Update 3. Time 19.55

Battery life 1%, after some music and minimal use.

Well, thats all for now.

im on v08, with OC1.7gh kernel.

as i stated above, overall thatss the usage for today.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mafiapanda:
Is there any way to change language?

I found a language pack, but how do i install it?

Thanks!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kyraa:
Mine seems to be even better. I unplugged it a 7 am and now at 5 pm I still got 68 % left. I surfed the web ocasionally, listened to music for about 1,5 h and checked mails (3 accounts synced, push mail enabled). 3G was on the whole time.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hanifh:
I am at 7% after 12hrs and haven't done a quarter of what you did today
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tw1tterik:
I'm a moron!! :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
i have made kernel for this rom but there is a small issue... i dont know how to change language to english... so i cant really use this rom...

can someone help?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kyraa:
When you boot up, hit Menu, klick on Settings (look for the Icon) and when in Settings look for an icon that looks like a keyboard. It's in the middle pannel of the settings menu. In the language submenu klick on the second option. where there is also english.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iAchilles:
hi dudes ...

excuse me ...

but can u, guys , explain for me what did u excat do ???

have u used any calibration !?

[Xperia Arc Android Development] adiktz:
When you get the Droid logo with j sign when you first boot, select the button on right bottom of the screen, select English and select the left button this time...!!!

[Optional] wipe device in recovery after first boot...!!! This will bring everything in english...!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mafiapanda:
Am the only one with the problem that the lower screen doesnt respond.

It's like the first 1-2 MM is not on the screen.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] adiktz:
Nope...!!! apparently everyone has accepted it...!!! You should too...!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kyraa:
Nothing, no. Just followed the flashing insctructions which you find in the first post. Also only flashed the provided kernel.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nujhum:
nothing particular.

normally flash the rom, and set everything the lowest possible.

such as display, off gps, and i forgot the oher.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tw1tterik:
Great rom... Great job Jason and co...!!! Q: will there ever be a suported version for Arc? Really, really loving this ****...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] swavab:
..thanx doom for ur future kernal suiting miui..bcs i love miui and waiting for ur kernal also bcs current kernals having mild draining issues and hope i wil fix with ur .42 kernal sources..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nujhum:
mate,here some screen shots for my battery life today.

what apps im using, and what app been running on background.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
NVM... i thought that was an app... TuneTalk is an operator :P

hi currently FXP hasnt still moved to newer kernel source... may be in next release (FXP046+) the kernel will get updated...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nujhum:
Yeah mate, its the operator name.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] swavab:
..ok thanks for information and eagerly waiting for the new sources..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] swavab:
..hi nujum despite of being screen is off most of the time ur phone is awake altyme..did u listen it.?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bheremans:
If gmail is awake for 1 second every 30 seconds, there will be a 100 % complete bar... But it cal sleep 58 seconds every minute ....

In the screen before you enter the blue bars on the phone you can click on gmail and see how much enegry it consumed, it won't be much.

Also with cpu spy you can monitor how much phone is in deep sleep.

PS : I have better battery results with battery monitoring off :-)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nujhum:
yups musics.

tapatalk and facebook most the time, today.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] swavab:
That means ur phone not going to perfect deepsleep ryt..? It s awke mostly and thats y dis draining glitch still persisting..anyway in my fone its some wat beter..no apps showing lyk dat...bt i m going to turnoff bat monitr from now..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] thachtunganh:
Can any body give me a full instruction to install this ROM :(

I'm Using Xperia Arc S now (LT18i)

I followed Jason's Instruction , but i failed at step 2 , flashed successfully the baseband 56 to my phone , but when i unplug it and turn it on , it boot to the "Sony Ericsson" logo and it stuck....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nujhum:
Yups, agree with bheremans and swavab turning off the bat monitor

Will result better in baterry life.

It keep on monitoring every apps eventho you didnt use it.

Too bad cant help some other apps need running at bg, to keep me notify new sms and all.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] NeoCream:
Whats the name of that battery monitor app?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nujhum:
Its miuis

Under setting, system, battery, switched on monitor power usage, under battery use.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hanifh:
settings>system>battery and turn on 'monitor power usage'. click on 'battery use' under that after a few hours.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nujhum:
Download everything.

Put rom into sd.

Flash the baseband if you are on other baseband.

On pc, run fastboot,

Boot to fastboot on phone, and flash the kernel boot.img via fastboot.

Flash the kernel, any to your like.

Turn on your phone, and boot to recovery, wipe everything, and flash the rom.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] swavab:
Hotspot...?

Hey jasonstien and other respectd devolepers,.what abt wifi hotspot..? Any development going on..? Hope it wil b fixed in coming versions and eagerly waiting for it,thanks in advance..!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hanifh:
yes please; any news on this? this is one of single biggest features I miss :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Ivanovic:
Unlocked successfully the bootloader,rooted and now looking for a way to instrall cwm.Any ideas?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pushtostop:
Hi mate

Easiest way is to fastboot a kernel wit cwm on it

If your going to custom rom the one provide with rom will have it

If your staying stock use doomkernel

Ya ll find em in the dev thread

Pm me if ya want more info

Hope that helps
[Xperia Arc Android Development] thachtunganh:
Flashed MIUI , every thing work , but it have a big problem : Turn the phone off , and turn it on , it just boot to the Sony Ericssion logo , don't tell me that i didn't wait... i waited for 30 mins , so i flashed ROM again and then i tried to turn off and turn on it and my phone still have the problem...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nujhum:
Can you boot to recovery?

Working fastboot means you have unlocked bootloader.

Which kernel ate you using?

Boot to recovery, wipe everything and reflash the rom.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pinoypower:
Have you tried flashing a different kernel? It happened to me as well, tried the other OC kernels and the 1.3 worked for me.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Thelolinator:
Has anyone managed to fix the bottom of the screen issue like Jason has? I remember him posting about it a few pages back but I can't find it. I'm running the latest kernel and version of the ROM but I still have the issue and it's quite a pain.

Also the torch will come on sometimes when I use my phone without me specifically going into the torch app. I'm worried it might be left on one time and burn out the LED.

camera

Hi there!

I'm new to this rom... at least on SE Arc LT15i.

Everything works fine except the camera/camcorder... It does not take the shot when I press the button... even on the side of the phone...

Does it work for you?

FYI i'm on V0.8 with MIUI specific Doomkernel.

Thanks all.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] brb82:
its only eng or can i change to German?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Hi currently I am testing this rom... and I am able to take photos when I launch camera app and click on hardware camera button and even the touchscreen button..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] im_bol2riz:
Well... I'll try rewipe and reflash T_T. I'll let you know.

Thanks mate... For all.

Edit:

Reflash fixed the problem
[Xperia Arc Android Development] NeoCream:
Is it possible to install 3rd party camera apps (camera360)? On CM7 camera360 was not functioning.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nujhum:
camera360,

yes its works,

and it is work with CM7.

tested it on both ROM.

no issue and working perfectly.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] joak0068:
Just finished flashing the rom. Took me a looooong time to figure out how to flash with fastboot ( I had to unlock the bootloader first) so maybe you could expand you guide to installing a bit.

When I booted the rom, it started up in chinese language or something, and I roamed around the menus till finally i found the language setting.

But it looks good, and works quite well.

thanks. (LT18i)

Damnit: I get a prompt about "SIM network unlock pin" after i type in my pin (the correct one). How do I fix this?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] emperact:
Put you SIM card in another phone, and deactivate the SIM lock. It doesn't work at the moment. :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] joak0068:
Thank you for the quick response, what do you mean by, deactivate SIM lock? :)

Nvm. I figured it out, i just said dismiss without entering anything.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iAchilles:
hi dudes ...

i made a Persian RTL fix for this ROM (i tested it & Work perfectly)

SO ... U can use this Multi language Pack (by SaoosinX) for this ROM ( i tested it & Worked)

Anybody have same issue?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mr.alawi:
can anyone please post a video of MIUI on Xperia Arc i wanna see how it look like and how fast and smooth it is ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] estuardo4:
Hello Jason,

It seems that you has been very busy the last couple of weeks.

Anyway, I haven't had a problem with your latest ROM. Everything is working as it should, but lately the upgraditis has stroke me and I'm anxiously waiting for something new.

Do any of you had tested Doomlord's kernel? Could you please give us your thoughts?

Also, if I want the latest MIUI, is it just a matter of using recovery with the new version?

Thank you very much for your help.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mr.alawi:
hi may i know if Arabic Language will work on this ROM ... i just want the keyboard not the whole system .. so that i can send and receive messages in Arabic ???
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sami55:
hi, jason thank you for your effort but the arabic community and I want arabic language for this great rom so can you put arabic for us please???
[Xperia Arc Android Development] adiktz:
Battery life is awesome on V09...!!! Lost only 3% for 9 hours....!!!

It's ultra fast...!!!

Would you mind making such a kernel for stock rom ...???
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kokjsch:
Is there any plan that you support the hotspot?? :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JasonStein:
I ported cpu freq drivers back to fxp's kernel including official settings and use minfree tweak to kill apps running at backgurand to let phone goto deepsleep and it just amazing on battery life and also fast for using.

Actually it's easy to make a same kernel for CM7 but I'm not sure it's easy to make the same kernel for stock rom.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JasonStein:
Try to use third-party app to use hotspot,maybe it works but I'm not sure.Just have a try?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
which cpufreq driver exactly?

cause if i remember correctly we havent touched the stock cpufreq driver... its still the same across all firmware kernel sources...

i think the difference will be due to task killer tweaks...

P.S.: i am merging lots of changes into my CM/MiUI kernel sources... check my Play kernel thread (for stock) for details on upcoming changes...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JasonStein:
No,the tweaks I used is not the key,if I remove the tweak I set it also has a great battery life than ever.

arch/arm/mach-msm/ acpuclock-7x30.c cpufreq.c

drivers/cpufreq

include/linux/cpufreq.h

and performace governor settings from semc_anzu_defconfig.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
wht are the changes exactly? have u uploaded to git?

wht u mean by: "performace governor settings from semc_anzu_defconfig"??
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JasonStein:
I will upload my kernel sources to github tomorrow.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
cool :)

feel free to fork our repos on github and add ur changes/patches... if there are some which we are interested in, we will add it to our repos too ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tra7eb:
This file will do it for you, you have to install via Recovery.

http://www.mediafire.com/?w5twj6vjgitgxpt

Also you need install arabic keyboard from the Market.

Question for extend setting over this rom

Hi guys,

I have installed V09 and everything works like a charm.

But when come to extend setting, I just keep getting error status 7 for flashing the zip.

Can anyone here advise me what's happened? Did I miss something?

Thanks for input.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] exkaizen:
I'm on V08... do I need to clear data/cache/dalvik before flashing V09

and

currently... each time I shared my photo to facebook, it automatically disappear from my galary / microsd... anyone have such issue? any solution?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] estuardo4:
Hello,

I installed the latest version (signed v04 overscroll) and I didn't have a problem. Are you sure you have the latest version?

Gb
[Xperia Arc Android Development] terenchan:
Yes, I am using the kernel of doom with V09, tried to flash Signed_Overscroll.v4.zip via cmw, am I right?

Or can share ur es zip file for me to have a try?

Thank you.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bheremans:
I did the same changes for miui, see the deffirences at 22h-23h (10pm - 11pm)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JasonStein:
I have uploaded my sources to github.com/JasonStein.

I will add defconfig for ray soon.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JasonStein:
here are my tweaks used in V09 trying to slove the deepsleep issue:

#Minfree Tweaks
#trying to slove the deepsleep issue
echo 1536,2048,4096,20480,23040,25600 > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

echo 0 > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/debug_level
echo 64 > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/cost

save it like 99minfree and put it under the etc/init.d folder
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JasonStein:
Hi mate,just use my sources to build the kernel for your ray cuz the configs are almost same with mine for arc and I have uploaded the config for ray which is wrriten in README_blendmiui file to github.

I have wonderful battery life on this kernel with the tweaks.I would like to see what's going on with ur's.

Btw I still on the way to find the reason why it helps(I mean the changes about removing vdd function. And governors).:)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] yanki99:
battery life improved with v9 after 1 day testing. thanks!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] estuardo4:
I've used v09 for 24 hours also. Battery life when screen is off and phone goes to deep sleep is better. However, battery life when screen is on is the same or worse than v08 using OC 1.3 GHz kernel.

So, at the end, I finished my day with 52% of battery left, after 18 hours of use.

But I guess battery draining when screen is on is my fault, so I really appreciate Jason's work here solving the deep sleep issue with his ROM.

:)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] adiktz:
Using the default kernel gives better battery life even when the screen is on...!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] swavab:
Default means..?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pinoypower:
it's the same on v09, photos disappear when shared to facebook. also, data connection keeps turning on even when turned off.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iAchilles:
Up...... !
[Xperia Arc Android Development] JasonStein:
This is MIUI not stock rom....they are quite different from each other so there is no need to compare each other.

If I can solve that "problems" I won't let them appear in my rom:)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rafuru:
Dear Santa , i want miui works with Bravia engine and if is posible have a better camera!!

It's a ROM developed by the xda comunity not a Stock Rom!
