[Xperia Arc Android Development] hellocng:
The v2 upgrade for the ROM has fixed Facebook somehow.

DooM, I want to request that future ROM updates to not include addition of apps because, although the apps are very good, I have my own alternatives. I think they would be best to be kept as add-ons and keep the system files to minimum so users can choose what to include. I really appreciate your work and your intentions. Thank you so much!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rahul.pillai:
Doom, did you notice the "End Call" button is hidden with the "Virtual buttons"?

Not complaining but checking if it was an issue with my phone.. cannot be though ;)

Read the thread you have re-directed to and searched for the .xml files to edit/reduce the "Virtual Button" sizes.. no avail ;) Guess, we need to call in a "Themer"...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
yes i know... i have reduced it (check the recent screenshots) it now occupies 27pixels less ;)

right now i have bigger things to work on... i am trying to fix wifi but it will take some time...

i was thinking i will publish the kernel right now for u guys to do more KERNEL RELATED BUGHUNTING...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Guimenez:
Thank youuuuuu for this great work.

Please after updating the v01 with doomkernel v01, can i update the v02 with doomkerbel v02 without rebooting and starting ICS v01?

Can i update only doomkernel v02 and update the ICS v01 and then v02 without rebooting?

thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] joak0068:
Hey, I've just installede the v01, and without rebooting installed the v01-v02 after. Just booted the phone works fine so far.

Thx a lot for this ROM, looking forward for it to be improved :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rahul.pillai:
Send a shout out to user Rajeevvp on XDA he might be able to help... my brother ;)

Yes, it worked.

I've done about 6 reboots and now it find Vodafone.

Many thankssssssss
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hytin:
i use IceCream Sandwich Alpha and not doomlords and i have many random reboots.is this the case whit doomlords rom too

// Hytin
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Ambroos:
It's an alpha, what do you expect...

Doomlord fixed a lot of stuff that didn't work, but fixing random reboots is not something that's easy when you don't have the sources.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
hey guys, i had gone out for a movie ;) just came back... doing some final checks before i release the kernel...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] joecool1029:
Noice doom.

Btw, can upgrade maps by uninstalling and reinstalling through market. Navigation works if you get it going and background the app. The graphics will crash it.

Side note, doubt anyone uses it but webgl is not included on stock browser.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] shvyue:
Some bugs here:

1. Link2SD cannot display the 2nd SD partition, though apps can be linked.

2. Most barcode scanner wouldn't scan.

Sorry, but can someone fix the launcher2.apk ?

I try to install manually and via adb it doesn't work..

Please I want it so bad :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
The launcher is part of the v.02 files it will be installed automatically. Maybe you are missing the screen buttons?(that file is separate)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] boy_ice1987:
@DoomLoRD: hey man, really love ur work, update so fast, ur room maybe have many issues, but with ur work, i believe it will be fine soon :D verry love new ver of ur kernel.

Keep up ur work! thanks man a lot! :X :X :X
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chitose_ndy:
I only want to install only the launcher..

But I tried to install but failed..

I push it to system/app failed..

I tried via adb install, failed..

:(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
I suggest you put the apk in the SD card and then download and install Easy Installer from Market and it should help you to install it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mr.Krypton:
finally unlocked my bootloader :D can I use this with stock kernel :?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Lervly:
Thank you for major change in v3,

in Kernel v3 , I have no GSM DATA too (I'm already try flash / non-flash all fix and reset APN , but in v2 is work)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chitose_ndy:
Thanks for your answer :)

But it doesnt work..

I managed it working by pushing it into system/app

And then I renamed the launcher2.apk into Home.apk

:S
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mr.Krypton:
brick is gone... my final system.img

flashed my system with fastboot :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] joecool1029:
Any way to install google music on this? Doesn't show up in market.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hellocng:
In that case, your problem might have been that you did not switch to the new launcher before you deleted the first home.apk. Next time make sure you set the new launcher as your home button default first. If there isnt that option you can clear defaults in apps manager or get a home switcher app in the market.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mr.Krypton:
why I can't use this with stock kernel ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] basketballman:
can we have the ics lockscreen on arc?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hellocng:
You need to have the specific kernel for the ROM. Load DooMKerneL v2 or v3. Before that you will need to flash .42 ROM again in flash mode.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mr.Krypton:
I already had .42 ROM,

bricked bricked two times... then I had a system.img & data.img from clockwork mod recovery... I flashed it with fastboot. then it worked like a charm... then flashed boot.img then I got bootloop then I flashed the rom using cwm then it stuck on doomkernel logo... it taking ages waited 15mins
[Xperia Arc Android Development] donghungx:
Look like just Doom is trying to develop on this ROM, lol, Im stupid can't help anything :o
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hellocng:
There's no system.img or data.img in the process. Go back to .42 ROM. Then put the ICS alpha as update.zip on your sdcard. The fastboot flash boot.img (being DooMKerneL v2 or v3). Then boot into recovery by pressing and spamming back button upon DooM logo/blue LED. In recovery, apply update.zip and any other add-ons you would like. Reboot.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mr.Krypton:
here listen u got it wrong... I was in the .42, flashed boot.img which is doomkernel v2 then with cwm recovery flashed the ICS. then phone hanged on doomkernel logo for 15mins.....

now I have a bricked xperia arc... where to get .42 FTF file ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
You can find the .42 ftf by searching on the forum.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mr.Krypton:
aaah got it :).... going to start from beginning... :P and I saw on Sony Dev blog .62 is released :):cool::cool:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Thanks for reporting this... Can others confirm this???

Does it show up in market on stock Gingerbread arc?

U will need stock ICS kernel.... On older kernels this won't boot/touchscreen wont work...

Use v02 its enhanced stock kernel...

I hope some one get that working.. I am trying to fix custom kernel related stuff...

Read complete thread... Install procedure has been explained many times...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mr.Krypton:
ok done now it's booting with ICS :) thankz...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
here is Google Music (4.1.511) for ICS (Ref)

installs fine not sure if it works though ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] donghungx:
Is possible to make AOSP ROM from Android 4.03 source then use driver from Sony Alpha ? :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
yups thats my plan :)

but i am new to this and just started reading up on it...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] donghungx:
Read this please man

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1397882

We can change Broadcom and NVidia driver to sony driver and let see it work or not, or just make kernel and touchscreen work , i will try to help after :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
its not that easy mate...

why do u think its taking so much time for the FreeXperia team? its tough getting things to work on platforms that arent directly supported...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] basketballman:
thank you doomlord very very much

we really appreciate for your hard work.

i just flash the new kernel v3

i cant use wifi

can you fix it :)

thanks!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] donghungx:
LOl that why Im not a DEV :D

Like i see tiamat team have fixed google calendar sync, i will try to ask them how they did ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:

On V3 kernel GSM DATA is not working...reporting from Arc S
[Xperia Arc Android Development] diegast:
Just curious..... Did you (and also to the others with no GSM DATA) flash the boot.img only from kernel v2 to v3....??

Maybe some (small) part of gsm data gets fixed in the wifi-bt-gsm-enabler-v1-to-v2-ICS-update.zip, so you can manually apply the APN........ :-)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] secretfile:
The APN is inserted so that is not the problem i installed it with V3 and inserted APN then data was off so i installed V2 kernel and then data was working just to since my contacts and some app to install and get back to V3 ... APN is still there but GSM DATA is not active...that is what i have now ... and i am on V2 of the ROM
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Beppemi:
Wow... thanks so much for it.. i will try it right now!! ;);)

I see in the screenshot there are touch screen button, i guess it remain like Galaxy nexus and not use phisical button of our arc...

Am i wrong??
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Lervly:
me too , still not work
[Xperia Arc Android Development] spida_singh:
installed v1 ROM + v2 update ROM via recovary after flashing V3 Kernal (Arc).

Booted fine, but no Wifi or no data connection (o2 UK), attempts to get MMS and internet settings, but fails.

Apart from that, everything is ok, calls, Bluetooth etc.

Thanks.

EDIT

Confirmed V2 all ok, flashed over V3 using flastool fastboot, data now ok (no USB mounting in ROM as stated).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] haimelf:
sorry for my noob quastion... but i'v noticed that the install guide does'nt say "wipe cache" or "factory reset" or "wipe dalvik"... should it???
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Mr.Krypton:
na it isn't needed cos ur flashing .42 FTF fresh one so no need of wiping....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] haimelf:
thanx for your fast responed.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tommy paradise:
In terms of battery.. Is it better than gingerbread stock rom?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hellocng:
Its on par.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] joecool1029:
Thanks for google music doom, works perfect.

Battery is on par with gingerbread, I chose to use .58 as the base and all has been fine. Baseband -58 seemed to give me the best battery life.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] basketballman:
hey guys

thanks!!!

Lern to red http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20476993&postcount=296

Seriously though, he stated he's not done with wifi support in v3 of the kernel yet. Downgrade to v2 and it will work fine.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rahul.pillai:
Damn, bad day today - quite a few random reboots - reminded me the good old blackberry OS5 leak days.... need to capture logs...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
wait i am confused...

so on v03 GSM data doesnt work?

BUT when u flash back to v02 and then flash to v03 GSM data works?

no need, i have hardcoded to wipe /system, /data, /cache (in v01) and to wipe /cache & dalvik-cache (in v02)

;)

its an alpha rom mate... its not intended for daily use...

this is the 3rd time i see u posting the same thing...

i am working on fixing wifi...

once it works i will release new kernel/modules...

hmmm... alpha rom so expected ;)

try to keep other apps to minimum to avoid random reboots....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
so guys just wanted to give u all a sneekpeak ;)

we (Team UtterChaos) are working on touch based recovery...

here is a live demo:

[Xperia Arc Android Development] spida_singh:

I swtiched back to V2 to get wifi and GSM data working again.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
nope

not TWRP... its closed source (GUI aspects)...

we are adding touch capabilities to CWM Recovery :)

This is getting to the point where i might end up using it as my Daily OS, anyone know if the Facebook issue was fixed?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] M1K3E:
@ chewitt

facebook and calendar issues seems to be resolved, working fine for me.:)

if you flash kernel v02, install Alpha v01 boot and then install Alpha v01 to v02.

will give you wifi, gsm data and no issues with facebook or calendar.

been running for 2 days with only a couple of reboots which i am more than happy to put up with.;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hellocng:
Zero reboots for two days now. Zero force closes too. Contacts still not working for me though. All else superbly stable.

yups i know... i am merging sources...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rahul.pillai:
Do you have google+ installed? If yes, creates a conflict with Facebook Inside...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hellocng:
What do you propose I do? Turn off Facebook Inside or uninstall Google+?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
just created a test ROM from the leaked build...

it actually boots ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Chewitt:
The issue I was having was white text.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rahul.pillai:
Depends on what you can live with or without.. try uninstalling G+ first and see...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rahul.pillai:
Fixed with v02 but follow the steps of installing this ROM...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hellocng:
Very exciting DooM. Any noticable differences? Software, stability, performance, functionality/features, etc?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] M1K3E:
white text issue is solved when doing fresh install from Alpha v01 then boot system and then install Alpha v01 to v02 update.

sorry wasn't very clear earlier.

fresh install from v01 and then v01 to v02 update without the use of the fixes solves issues with facebook and calendar.

what do u guys think?

and please do keep in mind that this was all made from the ALPHA build... may be we can get some goodies to work from the LEAKED build on this...

ah man hope my Xperia ARC doesnt get damaged... have been flashing kernels and ROMs like crazy for the past week ;)

amazing work Doomlord and all who have helped.:)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
we have two ICS builds with us ALPHA & LEAKED... i am sure if we shuffle/play around with the files of these ROMs we can get a fairly stable version...

i want to request everyone to help out...

i have been really busy with this and lot of my other devices work is pending (X10, PLAY, SGS-SL, Flyer)... i need to give time for those devices too...

so as of now i will (try to) take a break from ARC ICS...
