I could not be more happy :-) but when using data the drain is big.. But thats just normal i guess
[Xperia Arc Android Development] HellRoot:
I found a bug... When using adaway after updating to v8... It does not update the hosts file and makes an error..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
Hi,

I believe I have already included the most updated Host file from Microsoft MVP Security Team. That's the most secure you can get. But let me check that anyway.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] HellRoot:
well.. it was to remove ads... it has worked well on all other versions but now adaway says that it cant....

and now i tried the full touch recovery to install a mod.. not it does not even go further than the boot image.. no more touch!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] HellRoot:
Now I use advanced stock kernel... Doomkernel does not go further than the logo...

But after a clean install the adaway works again... And it looks different and is faster... Last time I installed I did it over v7.... I therefore recommend all to make clean installs...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] everb00b:
i found a bug in togglebar.

when you have data on and turn on WIFI, and then turn off data it stays green as if working.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] HellRoot:
Not on mine... Only when using wrong modules for WiFi
[Xperia Arc Android Development] everb00b:
it happend on v6 too.

when i switch to wifi and keep the data on untill the wifi has logged in, then i try to turn data off the toggle stays green though data disconnects.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cronicus:

best regards
[Xperia Arc Android Development] HellRoot:
It works on mine... Maybe it will help wiping all data and reinstall?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cronicus:
already try it twice

maybe kernel problem or, i use doomlord #19
[Xperia Arc Android Development] HellRoot:
I used doomkernel v19 also... And had no problems...

And you are sure you wipe it all.. The dalvik, user data and factory reset..?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
I like it's best to do a Clean install. Wipe everything and flash from scratch.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cronicus:
yes,third time same problem

i have wipe data,wipe cash,and in advanced dalvik and batery

stil the same,home button dont work,cant lock screen,usb connection wont work !?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] scorpionSE:
great work mate. everything works fine. and my batery life is great after 1d and 16h still got 27% left.

i use it with doomlord's V20 kernel, baseband 64 with 36 libs..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] HellRoot:
Why not the libs for 64 ??
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cronicus:
and can/t recieve any calls, always busy :(

i will wait til new update :(:(:(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] everb00b:
flash fw 62, then flash xperia mod v6. from there you just update to v8.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
Try to wipe everything and Flash from scratch.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] HellRoot:
Is it just me or has the quality of video playback decreased when using youtube etc... In v8 ???
[Xperia Arc Android Development] everb00b:
^^

everything good here, even when watching HD.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tommy paradise:
I had the same problem.

Try flashing .62 baseband and re-install the rom.

PS

The rom is the fastest ive ever seen. But it uses too much battery rather than Ka07 rom.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] --Rob--:
So, I installed it yesterday, but for me, it's unfortunately not working at all, because:

I have no soundnotifications, doesn't matter what volume

ChompsSMS doesn't start (had that problem with diffrent roms...)

I overclocked to 1,6GHz (like the past half year) but it's extrem slowly, and I started minimum twice...

Swype lags extremly. Two words work and then I won't work for some seconds...

I hope this feedback helps a little bit. I'll return to CM7 or 9, idk yet.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cronicus:
i am now on baseband 56, try to search for baseband 62 and flashtool,but all links are dead ??
[Xperia Arc Android Development] everb00b:

downgrade your kernel to v17.2. no gpu oc or extra push.

maybe you use apps that cause wakelocks.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
Most of these time stranges issues can be resolved by a full Wipe (Factory Reset, Wipe cache and Wipe dalvik cache) and Flash Baseband 64.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bbogdann:
Can I use this Rom on Arc with locked boot loader?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
I don't think it will boot but you can try it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
I'm sorry to say this but i'm stopping development for Xperia Arc since i'm selling my device and getting HTC One X. Mostly by this weekend I'll be selling it. ... I had a lot of fun here tweaking and developing ROMs.

Thanks for all the support and donations. I really appreciate it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] HellRoot:
Good luck man and thanks for the tweaks... Be cool
[Xperia Arc Android Development] xtorm80:
gosh been great with you around, love v7 tho due to the theme
[Xperia Arc Android Development] everb00b:
ShyamSasi, thank you very much for your hard work.

your roms are the best for the Sony Arc, i truly hope you'll release a Xperia ICS with the new firmware before you leave us to HTC One X. :)

thank you again!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] HellRoot:
I use arconium now and works good so far.. Just add the status bar manually.. Very fast and lots of free ram :-D if you want it even better flash the Xperia s keyboard and looks as the keyboard is better on it...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] caqo71:
Evolution of smartphones will always be true, so, I'm just here to thank you for your spent hours developing roms. nice work mate.

The only sad thing (and it's for all developers), is that Xperia S hit the market before the final version of ICS, so ARC/ARC S will be forgotten a bit.

I hope that some developers hold their ARC's when the final version of ICS be available. :p
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
Thanks :)

Thanks for your kind words. I'm sorry I had to sell my Arc to get One X. You heard Sony has delayed ICS launch.

Thanks mate ... But most of the developers will stay here as well like FXP Team will be here, DoomLord will be here since our community donated the device, Achotjan will be here and T.E.A.M will be here. Arc is a marvelous device, most of the won't give up soon. Well hope you guys have a good time with Arc.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] NeoCream:
Just wanted to report something:

After coming from an ICS ROM (Hybrid) I installed DoomKernel v22 and this ROM (v8).

First of all, I figured out that v6 had to be installed as first and afterwards v7 and at then v8 (installing v8 alone let my phone behave strange = homebutton not responding and no lock-screen).

Anyway, after installing all versions I also decided to install baseband -36 with the -36 libs. Afterwards my phone got laggy... it constantly needed a reboot or otherwise it got slower and slower (bad memory managment?).

I had to downgrade to Doomkernel v19 and upgraded to baseband -64 and reinstalled (only) v8.

I'm not sure what caused the performance impact on my phone... maybe it was Doomkernel v22 or maybe it was the baseband thing... or maybe it was a combination of it????

Anyway, now the phone feels fast and snappy! Great ROM!! Many thanks!!! :D:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] NeoCream:
Can I use SuperCharger on this ROM (v8.0)? I saw in the build.prob already some supercharger-parameters and was wondering if by applying the supercharger script I would run into risk of getting some conflichts? Anyone already tried this? Any benefits?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nadaall:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] nadaall:

Nope on unlocked bootloader updating could brick your phone.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tommy paradise:
Oh my god, that's amazing!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
Thanks ..... ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tommy paradise:
Battery usage should be better.

It's better than the stock rom but not so much as espected..

This point should be improved.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
You could try baseband 36 for better result.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] electrash:
More screenshoot?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] HSNalfar3:
locked bootloader

can I use your ROM with locked bootloader or I will stuck with bootloop or bricked phone?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:

Not sure Mate. This is designed for custom kernel but you can try it and let me know.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
I removed most of the SE widgets and apps. I'll try to make an update pack like add-ons for it when I get to my laptop.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
It should work as far as my knowledge but if you can test it and let me know I would really appreciate it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
Update:

Released a Hotfix for better performance.

Released 3 add-on

Facebook Inside Xperia

Now working on a create a hotfix for Xperia Arc S but I can't test it since I don't have the device. If someone and test my ROM and report it I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks :)

Also I have to say that this ROM is awesome. Really thanks for this great job.

Hi I have tried your new rom, that is really smooth and fast, thank you for your hard work. However, in your rom I can't read any chinese words even I changed to the chinese language, it's comes all square. Just want to find out am I the only one who have this problem or I can install the language pack from recovery.

Thank you
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
Thanks for the nice comments.

It's possible that the Font I use is not supporting Chinese. Download Font Changer from market go to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=801160 and download one of the Font and apply it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dantevip59:
Thank you, I will try it!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Istvan_86:
ShyamSasi, I install the new hotfix and all seems to be ok. But when I restart the phone all my config, data, app and other stuff are lost. I´m very disappointed with that I don´t have enough time to do all the process again so maybe I back up me older CM7 ROM.

By the way your ROM is amazing, good luck with your work.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dantevip59:
After I tried the font changer and flash the stock font called "DroidSans", it still can't show Chinese from the phone. Maybe something is missing from the ROM I am not sure, I will try to flash others ROM and see if I get the same problem. But thank you for helping.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
Hello there!

Extract this file and use Root Explorer copy to system folder and replace it with existing font folder with this one. Because maybe not all the fonts got updated.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
Hotfix link fixed in first post.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Istvan_86:
ShyamSasi you read me last post? The hotfix that you provided with a link in the 6 or 7 page of this post deleted all me user data, lost my app and all my things. Are you sure that all is ok?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
Sorry I missed it. That Hotfix will only delete a tweak from init.d that too Kernel related. I just re-flashed the ROM again and restore by Titanium back then applied the Hotfix but it works fine. It should not remove the apps. :confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Istvan_86:
I put the hotfix on SD, restart in to recovery and then apply the hotfix. When I reboot I lost all me stuff (apps, contacts, installec programs, etc..)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
Let me do some more testing. I would like to know if anyone experienced the same behavior.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dantevip59:
Hi ShyamSasi,

Finally I can read Chinese after replace the fonts file, thank you for fixing that.

However, there's a new problem from the status bar, once I got any notice like app update notice or message notification, if I pull down the status bar, it only shows the symbols but the texts are all missing. (please check the attached file)

Please let me know if you can find the way to fix it.

Thank you and sorry for keep bothering

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Istvan_86:
Hello, do you check the error that I reported when hotfix are installed?

I think that this ROM is awesome but if the updates delete all my data when I apply it, this is a bad thing. Really thanks for your time and job.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Ninolina:
I installed Hotfix too but it didn't erase any of my data. Does anybody else have that issue? I really didn't have it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kistigun:
how did you fix the black screen on incomming call issue?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
It's a build.prop command line. I haven't experienced it so I can't really say but I would be glad to hear your feedback. :)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Ninolina:
Unfortunately, I am having HomeScreen redraws (refreshing) with this ROM too...:( It happens less times than with previous ROM but it is still happening...:( Does anybody else have this problem? I am using GO Launcher and I dont have any other Launcher installed...:) After exiting some other app my HomeScreen refresh itself (it load icons and widgets from the start) and I can't use it for about 10 seconds... It is so annoying...:( So it is not happening every time and it is less than in my previous ROM, but why is it happening at all? What can I do to stop this?

Thanks in advance...:)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
Try SuperCharger V6 it should reduce even better.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Ninolina:
Thanks for replay...:) I already tried that - actually that was the first thing I tried, but that didn't help...:(

For last hour or so I tried one another thing - editing build.prop file and adding the line ro.HOME_APP_AJD=1 and so far it works...:) In last hour not a single redrawing so I hope this will do the job...:) I will report tomorrow is that still working...:) I hope I managed to solve the main issue on my ARC since I bought it as that issue is present from the moment I got my ARC S...:) (Now when I check build.prop file it isn't changed - my line does not exist but HomeScreen is OK so it doesn't really matter - even that I don't know why it didn't remember my changes)

I just have one more question - why I can't access to option Theme in Display Settings? It's give me a message "No application can perform this action"? I also tried to flash with recovery my own edited Default Theme.apk but it still gives me that message...:(

Do we need to do a full wipe before flashing? I hope it will not erase my data...:(

EDIT: Flashing v4.0 over v3 DID erase all may data and settings even that I didn't do a full wipe...:( Is it must be that way?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
Normally you don't since it's a new firmware it's recommended. You can try to flash it over and see if it works. I haven't added any script to wipe :)

Edit: I'll test it post back
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Ninolina:
