Anyone having issues downloading the V2 kernal? I can't get it started on any of the multiupload links??

All sorted, i was using my phone to download, dolphin HD Browser handles .img extention better :D

Thanks DL!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DerEineDa:
As far as I know you can change the "name" of your device in the build.prop-file. Also keep in mind that your phone runs at 1.0 GHz using this kernel. So you may want to use an app like no-frills CPU control to get the intended 1.4 GHz for your device.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] faisaldante:
any news on xperia play port of this cant wait
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pushtostop:
Hi

Just move launcher to system /app instead of data /app

Don't forget to change permissions if needed

U may need to delete some apps from system/app to make space

And reboot

Still the odd fc but much much better.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] powell21:
thanks for your quick response and just a quick share regarding the original launcher2.apk i did removed some apps from system/app and moved them to my sdcard for backup and it really did helped :)

now so far the issue i'm having is the syncing part for the default calendar i cant seem to open it and whenever i try to sync still no go but ican still live without it :D

Is it possible to take libs from FXP ICS to fix the laggy UI and video playback/recording?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] 0pt1mus arcan0id:
wifi error

thanks a lot for this rom i installed this rom and and love it everthings works except some minor crashes which is expected at this stage but then i am not able to use wifi however gsm & data is availiable is there any thing i need to do because everyone here is able to use wifi

i flashed to .42 fw with flashtool and then flashed the alpha kernal v2-> installed ics alpha-> installed gapps ics ->installed wifi gsm fix ->on screen butons->boot screen animation-> restart

phone starts and then wifi switch is greyed out i go in to wifi settings then i am able to switch it on aftere that it shows turning on wifi but nothing happens after some time switch go back to off

guys please help :confused:what can i do

aagain thanks to all who made this possible ics so early hugely appreciate the goodwork...keep it up
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
refer to this:

well... the device name is an easy fix... just open /system/build.prop and replace all occurrences of "LT15" by "LT18"... i will post a small toggle script later...

may be... but we need to wait for FXP CM9 to be released :)

u forgot to flash "wifi, GSM, BT ENabler"...

in anycase i am making a update pack for v01 which has all of this....
[Xperia Arc Android Development] 0pt1mus arcan0id:
thnks

actually i had flashed that because my gsm bt and data connection is working only problem is with wifi... neways i flashed it again and its still the same thanks a lot for u help.... eagerly w8in for the ics package update

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Dark-DJ:
Doomlord, I've some questions

1. Your WiFi fix is specific for arc? Because the gsm patch works on my neo.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
Why not just make an updated v02 ROM with that enabler and wifi fix included?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
i dont know... i dont have the NEO with me to do testing...

the problem is related to symlinks... DSIXDA kitchen did not maintain symlinks after unyaffs so that was causing issues...

yes thats exactly wht i am doing ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ZyxeLa:
Thank you. But I miss SE's stock widgets :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jymdman:
WiFi...

First: Thank You for this ROM Doom!

Like a couple of others, I'm still experience problems with WiFi. Think I have tried everything. (and yes, I have applied the Fix!)

Have even tried to change security setting on my router, but nothing helps to make WiFi works.

3G data works for me, so I use that to connect to internet....

EDIT: The phone can see the network, but it can't connect to it...

Have also seen a problem with the official facebook client, all the text is gone. Anyone else seen this problem??

Keep up the good work!

yes, the ARC charge in usb but not connect in mass Storage (msc) only in media transfer mode (mtp)

if mtp mode it works but not in MSC mode

Sorry for my english :rolleyes:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
@ALL

there seem to be some confusion that few users are having...

the DooMKernel posted in this ROM thread (as of now) consists of stock zImage, the one from SE ICS ALPHA ARC S build... so no, currently the kernel is not a true custom kernel, rather its an enhanced stock kernel to have recovery, init.d support...

once we get kernel sources from SE for this ICS build, or if someone is able to patch the old sources to work on this ICS build then we can have proper custom kernels (overclocks, tons of governors, features)...

regards,

DooMLoRD
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
dont know abt facebook...

but as for wifi i am create an update package which should sort out most issues...

just wait for some time...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] thx84:
What did you change? Maybe we can adapt it for the Neo...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
@0% battery problem users/devs working on it

since, currently we dont have the kernel sources which are compatible with this ICS build i recommend that u guys wait for some time till SE releases those sources...

OR

if someone is expert in making kernel modules then this is wht i suggest:

since u guys are creating a "hacked" battery driver in kernel may be u can create it as a module which can be loaded on the stock SE ICS ARC kernel to hack into the battery driver...

here is the kallsyms output: http://www.multiupload.com/60XSSQC86W from stock SE ICS ALPHA ARC kernel vermagic string "2.6.32.9-pref"... that way we can easily load the module on bootup, using small init.d script and all users can benefit from this...

regards,

DooMLoRD

Are Bravia engine and Exmor sensors included in this initial release?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
yup... and xLoud too ;)

Exmor sensor is hardware related :P

Hello Doom. I have a question. Is it even possible to make an update.zip for PLAY using these img files that sony released? If so, any ETA's/ Progress on it?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
already tried yesterday... i couldnt get it working... most i reached to was the device shows bootlogo, then shows bootanimation, and just stays there after bootanimation is complete... logcat says something about "waiting for AudioService"
[Xperia Arc Android Development] siddharthsai:
Oh okay. Thanks for the quick info.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gabimx:
this requarment, to what stock does it refer?

can any on link me to one that is working fine with this?

[Xperia Arc Android Development] hellocng:
As much as I want the Facebook app to be fixed, its not DooM's kernel as it has nothing to do with the ROM. There must be some system conflict that pushes the background to be above the text or some conflict with theming. I had this problem since before v1, as I was first to raise this issue.

I would prefer DooM to focus the work on kernel and ROM than fixing trivial issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Greg Tolan:
Hey can someone confirm whether the stock wifi hotspot feature works on the Verizon galaxy nexus without having to add a tethering plan?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 2ksilverbullet:
When I select to turn it on, it runs through a "checking for subscription" then pops up an Error window that I'm not authorized to run it and have to call Customer Service. It was the first thing I tried as soon as I walked out of the VZW store this morning.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dohturdima:
I'd like to know this as well. Chances are though, you have to be rooted and the hotspot app will have to be hacked for it to be used without detection check by VZW. I am with Sprint OG Samsung Epic, and these were the necessary steps to get Sprint hotspot to work without having a plan. I am sure a dev will be able to get it done in time. In the meantime, suggest rooting and using either Barnacle tether or Wifi Tether, or if you want to stay stock: PDANet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] keatre:
After root - wired tether will work.

After root - WiFi tether will NOT work. It has the 'blocktether' thing on there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dohturdima:
Ouch. Any available apps/workarounds to enable wireless tether? This is a make-or-break issue for me right now in terms of getting the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jumaaneface:
Framework patch. Give it a week. Or just pay for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] keatre:
At this moment, you'll need an LTE rom or patch that disables the 'blocktether' methinks. I am running stock for the rest of the week, so I cannot test - apologies.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pharpe:
Just root your phone. There is no downside to that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ScottIsMyName:
That's not the problem. Not being able to tether could potentially be a dealbreaker for some people (myself included).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Its blocked. You've got to root and remove the software they have for tracking tethering. Or wait for a CDMA custom ROM to come out that has unblocked tethering.

LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cykotix:
If it's that big of a deal, pay for it then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zlatty:
Yup. You'll just have to get a rom that has tethering open for all of our hearts' content!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] triunetehk:
Anyone tried this app ht tp://goo.gl/LZCZO or the paid version ? Can't believe VZW sucks so bad, makes sense now why the phone was delayed so long... Google arguing against VZW breaking and crippling their beautiful OS. But I just bought one this morning and being delivered tomorrow. :o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Using a 3rd party app doesn't remove Verizon's tracking software. They'll still see you're doing it based on my experiences w/ VZW phones...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Syn Ack:
I'm assuming you guys have tried Google's Wireless Tether app. No dice?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Not letting people steal bandwidth is not crippling the OS. Don't get me wrong I think paying for tethering is beyond retarded but it is a paid service that they offer there is no reason for them to give it away for free.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
People aren't "stealing" bandwidth. They're paying for it and using it. This isn't even an argument in a world of capped data plans. If you pay for 2GB or 4GB or 10GB+, you're buying that bandwidth from VZW. Its yours to use. And carriers are being beyond ridiculous, forcing consumers to pay for data twice.

And it is crippling (albeit thats a bit dramatic) the OS. ICS (and 2.2, 2.3) has wired/wireless tethering enabled. Removing that, is removing a feature that used to make the OS whole.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] keatre:
Just to clear the air -

Currently - no matter what App you use, you cannot WiFi tether.

Verizon is blocking ALL WiFi tether - you will need to remove the check.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ScottIsMyName:
Thanks for the update. What are the chances that this check can be removed? I know people with the Bionic were having problems tethering (still not sure if they can).

This is a deal breaker for me, so I'm hoping it isn't something too complicated for the devs to remove.

P.S. Let's not turn this into a morality thread. This is a place to discuss whether or not you can get WiFi tethering working without paying extra for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Syn Ack:
This is a huge problem, I need to tether by next Thursday.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Renegade360:
Need something like the Wugfresh wifi tether workaround that was used on the Droid X. This took care of the problem for that one.

On a side note, PDA Net is working for wired tether. No root required.

Need to check the bluetooth tether next.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Well certainly custom ROMs will solve it. Whether or not they figure out how to remove the software and get things set up on a stock ROM is unclear.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Syn Ack:
Well shoot, if wired tether works then I'll be slightly pleased.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssblood:
Personally, I pay for it. You can always add it for a few days and take it back off. They will prorate the monthly charge. I'm probably not even going to root the phone, no reason to with vanilla ICS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Syn Ack:
I'm only going to root it for themes and tethering. Stock theme is meh and no tethering would kill me.

---------- Post added at 04:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------

Yup PDANet works flawlessly. I'm sending this message right now using it.

---------- Post added at 04:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:35 PM ----------

Yup PDANet works flawlessly. I'm sending this message right now using it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tuxnerd:
PDA-Net works great right now, but the reports that no apps, 3rd party or stock will enable wifi-tethering seem to be completely accurate.

I guess we are stuck waiting for a custom rom to come out which gets around this.

On the plus side, the speeds I am getting with PDAnet are AWESOME!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dohturdima:
Well, if PDANet works I guess I will consider getting it, hoping that in the future we can get the hotspot hacked. Haven't used PDANet since my days of BB Tour :o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shyguycalif:
I got my New Galaxy Nexus. :)

Is there any update on the WiFi tethering rom? I thought by rooting I can fix this issue but read these posts just now. :-(

Please advice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] enisoc:
After rooting, this one works fine: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NPuter:
Why don't you just get the tethering plan?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gtab55:
Yea I use the google code wifi tether. Put it on christmas eve and has worked fine since.

WiFi Hotspot and USB Tether

no root and no monthly fee

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thereddog:
I've been using 3.1-b11 and while it works great, turning off the hotspot either crashes my phone or wifi will not connect unless I reboot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gtab55:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-pre110.apk

Try this. I have ran this ~2 times a week for about an hour each time. Works great and doesn't crash or force me to reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VCURamEngineer:
I'm rooted (which I don't think is necessary) on the stock rom. I use extended controls to toggle wifi tether. It seems to bypass the check just fine like on previous version of android. Is that an anomaly?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chakra:
I am rooted, with custom Rom and my paid Verizon hotspot works great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidmarc:
Why is so many people on this thread saying the hot spot does not work(with or without wifitehter) at all when this works?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gtab55:
Your guess is as good as mine. All I can say is that I went to Google, typed, downloaded, and tethered.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wpc105:
I just confirmed this on my Galaxy Nexus. Extended Controls wi-fi toggle activated the hotspot and I connected to it fine with an HTC tablet. No root. No custom ROM. Stock android 4.0.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thereddog:
But do you have a tether plan?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wpc105:
Nope. No tether plan.

Not sure if it is related or not, but about 5 minutes after my test, my Galaxy Nexus rebooted spontaneously.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VCURamEngineer:
Nope. Just an old unlimited data plan.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheBiles:
I can activate it from the menu in AOKP 20. No need for a widget or a tethering plan.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Armuro:
Not sure if this is carrier issue or GNex's issue...

When either wifi or Bluetooth dun tethering, connection is unstable. It would work for couple minutes (maybe 3~5), then lose connection. After couple more minutes, it reconnects again.

Anybody have this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davomgz:
This is a really old thread, but I have the same issue on mine. I'm in Asia using the unlocked GSM Galaxy Nexus, so it doesn't look like a carrier issue.

I haven't tested Bluetooth tethering extensively, but WiFi hotspot is crazy unstable. It has become a big issue for me. I connect to the hotspot on my laptop, but it stops working after a few minutes to an hour. I have to restart WiFi on my laptop and try again until I get a stable connection. I can connect to friends' iPhones with no problems, so again, it doesn't seem like a carrier issue.

I've changed both radios and ROMs, but the problem persists regardless. I'm currently on the latest AOKP (4.0.3), but I had the same issue on Android Revolution (4.0.2). Also, the issue seems to be present while tethering both through the built-in hotspot function in Settings and the WiFi Tether for Root app.

This is quite a frustrating problem. Hell, it's such a big issue for me that I'm even considering jumping back to an iPhone. Any insight or alternative hotspot app suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragonsla:
same issue......always had unstable wifi tether....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Wifi tether has been stable for me on 4.0.2 stock. Bluetooth to my late 2008 MacBookPro is hit or miss though. Sometimes it'll go for hours and others it drop every 5min... regardless of signal quality.

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infinit1:
I have the same problem as asifisbest. I want to sell my phone but I rooted it and installed a different ROM. I tried your suggestion, but the best I got so far was it loading the "recovery" but all I see on the phone is the HTC logo and after a while the RUU quits saying that there is an error. But sometimes it doesn't even find the phone and gives me a USB connection error, although adb sees the phone just fine. I have no idea what I'm doing and your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infinit1:
I got it working. I feel so silly, it was that the drivers were not properly installed. I heard Windows play the sound when it can't install the driver while the phone rebooted into "Recovery mode". So I opened device manager and had it search for one and presto it found the correct driver. Ran the RUU again and it worked like a charm!

Now, let's try to sell this phone!
