@$omator --

Deleting th old apk & dex file, bfore replacing, should work, then?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
you must either have all files in pairs apk + odex (thats odex)

or apk only (thats deodexed)

when looking at /system/framework/

that would be jar + odex (odex) or jar only (deodexed)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] om.thelostone:
@$omator

I am talking bout MyFiles.apk

I want new Samsung's MyFiles.apk

So I will delete old apk & dex files

Then put new apk file

Is tht wht u mean?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
if you now have aapk+odex

you have to copy new apk and odex
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bigdyl69:
I'm pretty sure I tried this some time ago and found it will not work. The MyFiles.apk is strictly linked to the ROM you are using, something to do with the framework, so you cannot use one on another ROM version.

As for other apk's, if the file you want to use is deodexed, you simply delete the new apk and odex file and put the old one in its place although be warned, it may cause instability on your ROM if you do this with system apk files
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
ok whatever if you know better
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bigdyl69:
Woah chill on the attitude, I was only offering some help based on my experience with trying the same thing
[Galaxy S I9000 General] om.thelostone:
Yup

Thanks

U got my doubt clear

I was not replacing MyFiles actually

Was just giving an example so that $omator thinks I understood

Also

The irony is most of th times, its th system apks tht have dex files

If its not a system apk, I wud rather download th latest 4m market

HOWTO

to flash cm7 rom you have to take 3 steps (after unpacking the 7z archive)

step 1 - copy update.zip and GAPPS ADDON to sdcard

step 2 - flash new kernel (always use the kernel provided in CM7 / it is incompatible with stock ROM)

ON PC - run fastboot flash boot boot.img (an black window will open and will stay open untill kernel is flashed)

ON PHONE - put phone in fastboot mode (power off then press lower right key and plug usb cable) and phone LED will light BLUE

step 3

- when phone is booting (FreeXperia Logo) press volume down key several times to enter recovery

- choose apply update from sdcard and select rom

- choose apply update from sdcard and select GAPPS

- wipe device

- reboot

DOWNLOAD

Look in my signature !

please don't mirror (we want to have download conunt)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chuinkee:
Just flashed this ROM, everything looks good and working except:

- the hardware keyboard mapping is out. Alphabets are fine, it is the numbers and punctuations that is a mess. w=1 e=2 r=3 s=4 etc tried using the build-in keyboard changer but didnt help

- if I go to landscape and then back to portrait, the call, application drawer and browser shortcut which is at the bottom of the desktop will disappear. it takes a reboot to bring it back

- Tried to get the battery icon to change using UOT kitchen by uploading the apk file from the zip package but it doesn't seem to work.

so far that's it.

thanks for the effort

Thank You freeXperia!!

This is awesome! Thanks for your hard work on the Xperia Pro :D

Donation coming your way from me

(edit: donation away!)

I have 2 questions:

1) does nandroid work in this recover?

2) My phone's a stock phone from Fido in Canada. I've unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone. When I go to Settings > About Phone, my Build Number at the very bottom says "4.0.A.2.335"

How do I get SEMC 4.0.1.A.0.283?? I'd really like to use CM7!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jerpelea:
upgrade to 4.0.2.A.0.42 released

FXP044 rom will come monday
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rcummings100:
Thanks for posting the link to 4.0.2.A.0.42. The previous rom link was missing.

Will this ROM work on my phone even though I've got an MK16a, and not an MK16i? I'm from Canada using a Fido phone, so I want to make sure my phone's Radio will work properly...this ROM is from the UK, so I'm not sure.

Just asking because on the Motorola Milestone, which I upgraded from, you had to select a different radio depending on which country you lived in.

Why do we even need to flash 4.0.2.A.0.42? Is CM7 not a complete ROM replacement? It is on the Milestone - doesn't matter what version you're coming from since CM7 replaced everything.

And FYI, the 10EUR donation was from me ;)

Hope it goes to good use!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jerpelea:
hy

thanks

@semc rom

we need to ensure that you have the proper baseband (radio software) this is why we request an semc rom flash 4.0.2.A.0.42 has baseband 56

@a/i

if you have an a device if better to flash proper radio from an semc a update

i will post the link for you

br
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rcummings100:
That would be great if you could post an SEMC update for the mk16a. One that will work in Canada ;)

One final question: Is it possible to do a full nandroid backup prior to applying these updates, so that if I want to return to stock, I can?

I was thinking hotboot a recovery via fastboot, then take the nandroid, and then flash the SEMC update, and finally flash CM7.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] alvaroag:
The nandroid backup makes backup only of the TDs(/system,/data,etc), but it doesn't backups the kernel. As it's the same android & kernel version, it's mos probable the FXP kernel will work with the stock ROM, but I'm not sure.

Edit: I saw the Bi4ry post, and it says the stock ROM is not compatible with FreeXperia kernel.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SandroV1972:
Tried to use this instead of the official CM7 from cyanogenmod site but after boot.img it doesn't boot anymore and I can't enter CWM recovery....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rcummings100:
You said you'd post the link for the SEMC 'a' update....still waiting ;)

Any idea when that will be? Sorry for being impatient. I just miss CM7 and can't wait to get it on this phone
[Xperia Arc Android Development] alvaroag:
Not to be rude, but... When will the FXP044 will be ready? I'm waiting for it. I used a unofficial port of CM7 on my old U20a, and it was really good, so I can't wait to try something better on my MK16a.

Also, will the update to 4.0.2.A.0.42 will be necessary anyway? Which part does the ROM would depend on it?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jerpelea:
semc update flashes "radio" to required version so "is an must"

FXP044 will be uploaded today

FXP106 Update

Is it necessary to update baseband before FXP106 for even updating from FXP105 or can we just update FXP106 alone as usual.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] alvaroag:
I think it may be requires; if you don't update baseband, you risk to have radio(gsm/hsdpa) problems.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dp94:
You won't have any problems (at least at the Arc).

And btw, I think FXP haven't updated the radio yet, check out their changelog.

It says in FXP107 it'll be updated. ;)

KEYBOARD please

Hey guys please let me know, how to get the stock keyboard settings to this rom...if there is a way to get the keyboard map normal, tell me the process. Qwerty-En
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bekkra:
Use the Search, oh Numb 'er SerI es!

I have written some in the Arc General section and there's plenty of other articles around.

The simplest method would be to edit two binary files; the cleanest would be to use th kcmtools package to decompile, modify then compile again.

Happy hacking!

.64 FTF

Should we just install the .64 FTF using flash tool or we should relock the boot loader and flash it.

You can flash it directly; it's not needed to relock the bootloader.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] mcastaldelli:
There's a tft in FXP's signature with only the baseband, which doesn't wipe anything at all... There's no need to flash any tft besides that one, specially there's no need to flash a tft with a full firmware, which would wipe things out.

There is also a keyboard changer in the FXP distribution (FreeXperia Keyboard Changer) that you can use. Several mappings are bad in the package, but I guess - and hope - that the EN_us one works.

Thank you, Its Ok now but SYM key not working. Is there any chance to work it out

As far as I tried with CM, the Sym key is not used. It's only used by the stock rom to show the popup with similies & symbols.

I am playing with the idea of building a new kernel and experiment with its features. Any idea how I can get the current .confg ? It is not exported from the kernel and I cannot fint it in sources.

This is the threat for the Xperia Pro not the Arc. Have you realy flasht the rom of this threat? is the answer yes then your phone is semi bricked?. Try to flash the CM7 rom for your phone.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ArmorD:
Excuse me? This is Arc's forum and when you press FXP's download link in their sig, it'll give you loads of SE phones, including Arc...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Dexxmor:
Peace :D your are right, but the Arc's CM threat is more active than this CM threat(this threat is for the xperia pro, we have no forum). I mean, i ask in our arc threat not for bugs, or why this and this is not working on my Pro. In your Arc CM threat is the possibility for an answer, you look for better than in this threat. Yeah my english sucks XD. Schweizer? wenn ja dann, das Xperia pro hat kein eigenes forum, wir sind momentan hier untergebracht und die möglichkeit eine antwort, ist in deinem CM7 threat größer als hier.

Hi,

I am posting this here because there is no Xperia dedicated forum at XDA. Since this thread is already in the Arc sub-forum, I don't want to clutter the arc sub-forums with more threads.

Just a quick question.

How many multitouch points does the Xperia Pro (MK16a and MK16i) have? Are there any y-axis inversion or any other problems? How many multitouch points with stock rom and this(or other) custom ROMs?

Help is much appreciated.

Thanks for reading.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Riyal:
its 4 multitouch points. And feel free to clutter arc sub forums as long as it doesn't have any similar threads yet :)

On the other hand, why keep adding the broken Torch app when someone has posted a fixed one already? It just adds hassle to replace it with the working one each update.

First of all. Big Thx for your work. I'm glad that you finally build RC.

Now about bugs:

1) There's still missed russian charset in hard keyboard, and here's no post about that in thread. But many users have SE Pro in Russia, for example, here is the thread about SE Pro on popular russian forum (it's not ad). You can see how many peoples there.

2) Auto brightness works awfull. Need a manual correction. And here is solution

3) Could you give a mirror for firmwares? Something like rapida\sendspace\mediafire and etc.

i installed back cm7.2, lucky the phone can boot :)

is install cm9.0 is different with cm7.2?

thanks for any help/ info
[Xperia Arc Android Development] shybby:
You have to flash boot.img of CM 9 via fastboot, wipe cache and data. But I think CM 7.2 is more stable than CM 9. I hope they will fix the Keyboardmapping for D/CH/AT soon.

i believe boot img of cm9 is diff with cm7 right?

because i did again flash boot use cm7, then install unpdate cm9 zip, still free on freexperia logo

Here is solution. If you can`t find this code, just add the string.

Hi,

JUst installed this rom (fxp114) yesterday, and I'm having huge battery consumption. Anyone else? In 11h, without using the phone, the battery went from 100% to 63%

Maybe I have to recalibrate the battery, but I was wondering if this is usual or a bug...

What I did:

- Updated baseband to 64.

- Flashed boot.img.

- Wipe all / fabric restore (includes wipe cache and wipe data)

- FOrmat /system (to not have the stock rom apps, etc)

- Installed the rom

- Installed de gapps

I've just come across from FXP114 CM9.0 with 113 Kernel, and I'm much happier with this 115 CM7.2

It's great to have the LED torch working again, and Mass Storage device interface.

One thing that bothers me a little bit though is that I had become used to the lack of the bright white LEDs between the back, home and menu keys. I think they were missing as a symptom of whatever was stopping the camera LED from working too, but they're kind of blinding, especially when operating the phone in the dark and I'd really like an option to turn them off permanently.

Other than that, I'm really happy with this version now. It's much more familiar feeling since my previous phone also ran CM7.
