[Xperia Arc Android Development] le_manhpro:
I had to start it, but when charger plugged screen continued flashing and can not charge the :(hixxx, please help me, sorry my english is not good
[Xperia Arc Android Development] YemenHero:
Hello DooMLoaRD,

first thank you for the great effort on this new alpha upgrade. however i have a question! in the last updated rom pack v02 you included "Rom Manager" app. is it fully supported now with clockworkmod??!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
no its not supported by clockworkmod... i just added it since my kernel (for this ROM) has CWM5 inbuilt :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gabimx:
O.K, so im realy confused with all the links in this thread.

can anyone PLEASE tell me what shuld i install first?

i have the stock .42 firmware.

i have the Kernel.

i have the rom-V01.

i have the add-ons.

i have the fix wifi file.

and i have the v02 update file.(does this disable the softkey?)

P.S

if i have now installed MIUI ROM, can i install this directly or should i flash the .42 stock firmware first?

thanks for the help.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
flash FULL STOCK .42 firmware

flash latest kernel provided (in kernel post)

flash MAIN ROM v01

flash UPDATE PACK v01 to v02

and THATS IT ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] poo-tang:
on our arc lt18 still on the offical sony arcS rom img's as we have not seen any issues. apart from flashing a couple of add on tweeks (ics softkeys, boot screen= crashing).

Q:Is the wifi fixed on this new alpha 2? We did try the wifi fix zip on doom alpha 1 but had issues connecting after awhile.

tip: we found running chainfire3d with the qualcomm (xperia used) plugin help with some power hungry apps (eg. onlive very little freezing now playable) guess they have missed stuff on the offical alpha graphics and chainfire seems to help.

hope this helps a few.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
yes alpha 2 has wifi fixed... as long as u dont wipe /data partition it will work well
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gabimx:
thank you doomlord. youre great.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] poo-tang:
thanks doom is there anychance of the hdmi being fixed comes up showing port instead of landscape on tv but shows landscape on phone (we use the same tv for are non rooted arcs so not that).

we know its not too much of an issue but thought would let you know of the problem cheers.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gabimx:
1 more quastion, can i make calls, surf the net, send messeges with this rom?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
i dont have HDMI cable to test with this...

yes, yes, yes
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gabimx:
man, this is just great. thank you.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] avicho:
Im using baseband 56 and this Rom working great..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] goodey:
any ideas on why i cant download nothing off the market in new rom version? wifi is on but no luck

EDIT a reboot cured the prob.. :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] poo-tang:
We have copys of the apks for the playstation portable and playstation store for the arc which sony is currently testing in japan we have noticed sony have not included the permissons into this alpha but we suspect that they will be on there final as its ment to go world wide.

We did not get copys of the xml and jar permissons could you or someone maybe come up with a zip for this can pm the apks if need. we do have copys of the r800 permissons 2.3.2,2.3.3 and the new 2.3.4 ones. we have seen that sony keep the same permissions over the 2011 range as we have moved the live with walkman app from the walkman 2011 phone to xperia play with it still using same permissons. cheers thanks.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
Problem is that you have to reboot for each app you want to install :D

Any cure?

EDIT: then the wifi comes out of work and says "Connecting" forever and never connects back
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gabimx:
all is great, accept for one thing, and the most important, the battery use.

im with the cable charging the phone and the percent of the battery keeps counting down, the battery drain is INSAIN :eek::eek::eek:.

am i the only one with this problme? is there a fix for this?

i un-installed a few apps, but still... the battery goes down the drain.:(

i realy whant this rom, clean, fast, powerfull... but damm, it wont last an hour in this rate.

going back(not wilingly)to MIUI.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] aisback:
i've had a quick play it seems good a bit slow and battery drainage is annoying

going back to cm7 for now but will be back once we get a better version :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] harfot:
Have tried it out, and it working very well. Interesting look at.

But for now I am returning to 2.3.4 as I cannot get amarullz data to SD-EXT to work with ICS which loses contact to system/apps moved to sd-ext.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rahul.pillai:
Miracle of Miracles... FB just appears fine now... ;) Hmm, wonder what changed...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
Guys you can't really expect this ROM to be a viable option for daily use, do you?

It was shared by SE as an early alpha version (they got the sources just 1 month ago, and X10 users know how long it takes SE to update from one Android version to another...)

Doomlord and FXP used their time and skills to add a few extras and bring it closer to a proper ROM, and I am totally amazed by how they advanced this, but bottom line is, we will have fully working ICS when SE releases the upgrade, hopefully soon.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
Actually I do. After all the fixes in V01 with Doom's edits and Bin4ry fixes it was a decent everyday ROM for me. I don't expect too much from my phone and I use it only for phone's function.

I was X10 user from day one and remember their mess, so no I didn't forget but FXP gave us hope, who can forget that?

Anyways, I thought I may test and give feedback and I am still testing after so many hours and trying to find solution so I can use this ROM cuz' I like it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
All valid points, but the fact remains that this is a preview version of a final ROM that eventually will come.

And just because Doomlord and Bin4ry were kind enough to make something better out of it doesn't mean that we should fill this thread with "I want this working or I can't do that, etc". ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
Ok, you are right.

Whoever has problem with Wifi in market issue, you can go to ROM Manager and do "Fix Permissions" that sort of fix the issue and now I can use the wifi.

I hope that helps.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Lervly:
thank you DooMLoRD for new version of ROM ,

Is this version (Rom & Kernel v2) still have battery draining problem while charge via charger or usb and can't mount sd card problem ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hellocng:
Is this kernel V2 with ROM V2? Can you isolate maybe one or two things you did that may have caused this?

Have you guys tried my method of retriggering the USB? I have used this ROM for two days and its as fast as any other ROM. The battery is also very good as well. While it is not as stable as a final stock ROM, its as stable as most custom ROMs I've tried. This has all the features I would want for my phone so I have no plans of using anything else until CM9.

I dont think there are many new issues in these five pages. Most of the issues have been address - WiFi, widgets, USB MSC, charging, etc. People just have to read from the first post to the last and maybe try different things.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] robobear:
All in all ihope that SE dev guys can garner support through this release to the common dev here.. And dooms and bin4ry tweak can help them progress the official rom to be released faster.

I mean, cmon u guys really cinsider this pre alpha that arent even supposed to work in arc really enough? Like iridaki said. But do note that i think doom and bin4ry gave an astounding example of mission impossoble lol kudos!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
which wifi n/w encryption u using?

some user reported issue with WPA+PSK

it works fine for me with WPA2+PSK

yes i too ran into SDcard mounting issue (SDCARD SAFE TO REMOVE) sometimes...

work around is to shift to MTP mode (when device is not connected) and then manually mount it manually:

Settings -> Storage -> SD Card -> Mount SD card
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
Doom, I am really sorry for mess up your thread and it seems that I am the only one with issue and I have done anything to fix this issue but it is not happening.

Security is WPA/WPA2 PSK, it comes and goes for itself. sometimes it connects and then it stops working by itself. I do understand this is alpha and all that but it was working better yesterday with v01. I can tell probably I have tried this 20 times since morning with different method and still can't get it to work.

I thought by reporting bug you may find a solution, otherwise let me know and I stop.

Thanks:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
no issues mate... i am trying to fix as many things as i can...

wifi can surely be fixed (as i have tested it to work w/o issues)...

ICS has this weird option "Avoid Poor Connections"

its in Wifi Settings (Advanced Tab)...

deactivate/disable that and test...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
That is weird for sure. Now Wifi has been on but not working. My PC is on wifi so I know the router is functioning. no internet in browser either.

Note on SD: when I boot while USB is plugged in, I get SD safe to remove as soon as it boots to OS.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
does ur wifi router requires static i.p. or dynamic i.p.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
static......
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
so then set correct static i.p. :)

dhcp is always an issue and currently dhcp is working fine...

so static shouldnt cause issue
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
It seems that it is reading right IP address from router? How are you suggesting to set correct IP address?

EDIT: I found it. I will report back soon.

EDIT1: I tired both of them under static, it connects but market goes to time out and not connections.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sinkster:
Flashed v02 last night and worked straight away. Pretty stable, a few(quick)reboots that seem to occur the first time I used a system app. Battery life is no worse than a cm7/miui rom. I'm unable to restore anything via titanium backup but I did expect that, the ics keyboard has a habit of crashing and staying open, and it does seem sluggish but that could be a cache/no overclock issue. I've gone back to my previous rom temporarily as the ext4 partition is not being recognised/mounted at boot and I'm going to re-format my sd card and sort out my apps anyway. Much appreciated, Doom
[Xperia Arc Android Development] augie7107:
Will the kernel patch from Bazoocaze work on either of these kernels?

I want deperately to test this ROM but I inexplicably f'd up my device downgrading ealier today and have the dreaded 0% battery issue.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
Thanks Doom for Wifi information. I had to put everything manually to kind of get it to work. Do you think that it will stay like this in ICS or there is an easier way of doing it, I never had problem with my wifi in any other ROM?

Much appreciate you input.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] steryman:
Nope, and you're not the single one. I am waiting for SE to publish the kernel source so I can patch it to make it work without charger.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] poo-tang:
Should not of had to change any rooter settings because of this (avoid poor connection) WiFi problem I went back and used Sony's original arcs imgs have not had a single issue so far I don't think it is a rooter issue at all using ics as we speak.

I think it's a issue between lt15 and lt18. I have seen it working ok dooms rom for people with lt15 but on my lt18 I find the arc/s IMG st18 works better no WiFi issues
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Ferdinandnl:
The only thing i can find so far not working is my calendar and syncing the calender. i need this on a regular basis.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] donghungx:
@DOOM,

Thank for your update ROM, just a info, ICS native support screenshot by hold volume down + power button in a second :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Azev:
Nice work.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
yes i will look into that later...

right now busy with new recovery (CWM5.5) & trying to patch custom kernel to work....

sorry mate no idea...

i dont know i posted a workaround a few pages back... if anyone is genuinely interested to get it working it should be possible...

i am not really sure...

given that "officially" we are not even supposed to have wifi/gsm/bt working i guess it will get fixed in official version ;)

yes thats a bug... but might be related to GAPPS...

THANKS!!!! i didnt know abt this :D

will create a post abt TIPS and link to ur post :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ToanDC:
thank you, I will try it tomorrow!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] adiktz:
I hope you'd add two way call recording...!!! Hope that is possible without the kernel sources, if not, I don't mind waiting...!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Abhishek Maity:
great job doomlord
[Xperia Arc Android Development] powell21:
@Doom

just wondering if v2 kernel can be o/c to 2ghz? will that be ok? i'm not really good at this kind of technical stuff hehehe

anyways for the others having trouble the Doom's ICS v02 works even better if you'll:

1. flash back to stock rom .42

2. flash doom's ics v2 kernel

3. flash doom's v1 ICS alpha rom

4. flash doom's v2 ICS update rom

5. reboot skip setup and then FACTORY RESET

6. after factory reset connect usb to PC and if there's no mass storage unplug cable then switch to MTP mode and connect cable (wait for MTP drivers to be installed) when it's done try change connection type to mass storage and reconnect data cable and it should work

7. for me battery life so far is almost same as stock rom:

- i always turn off wifi if m not near a router or hotspot,

- i use GSM instead since i don't use 3g connections that much

- i turn off background sync

i'm really happy with this rom what more if it will no longer be on testing stage! :)

with my flashing experience doom's works are the fastest and reliable roms/ kernels you can depend on :D

thanks doom hope to see more updates soon :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] donghungx:
@DOOM

I have a table, called name is Motorola XOOM. Last day I have AOSP ICS ROM for it, and here is the way to make this ROM

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

I mean we have all driver from Sony now, so is possible to make a AOSP rom for ARC? :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hellocng:
I think DooM needs the source for him to add governors, and oc/uv capacities. This probably wont happen until Sony release the final ICS in the coming months.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
got touchscreen to work partially on my custom kernel ;)

will continue work/testing and keep u guys posted :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chitose_ndy:
can you mirror the original ics launcher apk??

i have some problems with hotfile..

thank you..

Edit :

I downloaded it ..

But it says there's a problem with the apk..

I can't install it :(

Please check your pm.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] joecool1029:
I tried to search the thread to see if anyone else is having issues with.

Google maps on this is not working well at all, for me it is flickering (glitchy graphics artifacts) and when trying to use navigation it says google TTS failed, and will often crash.

I just wanted to know if this is specific to me or if others have the issue. I think I started with .58 (was running arconium 3.0), baseband -58. I'm getting fantastic battery life and only had a couple occasional crashes of the phone... it's been solid for about a day now though (aside from the google maps issue).

Non-working google maps would be the only dealbreaker for me at the moment, everything else is only minor. Thanks devs for the hard work and to Sony too, very happy.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] remco.k:
Hi there doom,

I like this rom very mutch... can you tell if you can get it to work fully in the next update and make it a beta rom...

well i like you work also got you kernel versiom v 15 youre great.

Keep up the good work ...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rainbowsixpro1:
Are you trying to make this "Nexus AOSP" or "Sony AOSP" ?

I installed it and the "H" icon in Statusbar is over the Signal Icon -.- Wlan activating doesnt works

im on .42

Thanks for the work i know its hard to develop :D

Is Pune a big city because i know some ppl there :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Bjidi:
I ran into some problems, i flashed the stock rom,

this file "LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42_(1247-1041)"

and rebooted, all fine. I then downloaded your kernel (the boot.img file) and i flashed that with fastboot. And it flashed the 6.5mb file and it all went well, then i reboot....and the phone just keeps rebooting, and rebooting. I never get to the blue led lights.

Any tips on what to do?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rainbowsixpro1:
Just press Volume Up and down several times even if theres no led if it boots up direct press :D

[Xperia Arc Android Development] joecool1029:
Market installing google maps doesn't work, tried updating. Told me it was invalid signature or something and to remove the old google maps, removed with root explorer, tried reinstalling "incompatible update"

Any ideas? Now I'm totally without maps :(

*EDIT: copied .apk out of the update zip, same problems as before, but got semi-working maps back
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kormatoes:
yes it true bro check first page doom rocks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] joecool1029:
Guess I'm not the only one, how about the TTS issue though, is this fixable? (or can we get new gmaps update somehow)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Bjidi:
thanks

worked, now running ICS on my arc, with wifi working.

First bug i noticed was unable to read in gallery
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
Guys great news!!!

GUYS GREAT NEWS!!! TOUCHSCREEN NOW WORKS ON CUSTOM KERNEL!!!!

just got it working!!!

right now i am trying to fix the modules/make my own modules for use with my custom kernel...

<3>compat: version magic '2.6.32.9-perf preempt mod_unload ARMv7 ' should be '2.6.32.9-DooMKernel preempt mod_unload ARMv7 '

<3>cfg80211: version magic '2.6.32.9-perf preempt mod_unload ARMv7 ' should be '2.6.32.9-DooMKernel preempt mod_unload ARMv7 '

<3>mac80211: version magic '2.6.32.9-perf preempt mod_unload ARMv7 ' should be '2.6.32.9-DooMKernel preempt mod_unload ARMv7 '

<3>wl12xx: version magic '2.6.32.9-perf preempt mod_unload ARMv7 ' should be '2.6.32.9-DooMKernel preempt mod_unload ARMv7 '

once all modules work kernel will be released...

i will release the modified TS sources soon :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hytin:
do the kernel work on stock IceCream Sandwich Alpha on ARC s

// hytin
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Azev:
Wow Top reactivity. DooMLord, you are very fast.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
yes but currently wifi is broken... i tried using "compatibility mode" for kernel version string (vermagic)...

wifi still doesnt work...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hytin:
my wifi is working on LT18i no problems
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:
pleasant surprise... now that i am using my custom kernel i can get access to adb in recovery :) and USB mounting in recovery mode works too!

thats cause u are on stock ICS kernel...

u dont seem to understand wht i am saying...

when using new modded custom kernel on ICS ALPHA ROM, wifi currently doesnt work!

i used this one

[Xperia Arc Android Development] emperact:
Haha, this is quite funny.. Bad troll?

Well, I think Doomlord knows what works, he was the one that got some stuff fixed with help from Binary and so on. He is atm developing a new custom kernel for ICS alpha, which we are able to overclock, and therefore he havent fixed wifi yet.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] joecool1029:
Oh change the TTS from google TTS to pico TTS. Now navigation works and does not crash. Google TTS is 100% broken.

Graphics still glitchy but it's ok now.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chitose_ndy:
Thanks gan :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chitose_ndy:
Hey I can't install the apk.

There's some problem with itself :(

Anybody have tried to install it???
[Xperia Arc Android Development] basketballman:
i just flash the rom and the kernel yesterday

i encountered a problem

everytime i select power off, it shuts down but after shuting down the phone starts itself and the logo keep showing and disappearing

it just like it was rebooting constantly itself

what can i do now?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
You can put it in ADB folder and connect your phone with USB in Debug mode and open cmd and type "adb install whatever.apk" and it should do it

---------- Post added at 06:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 PM ----------

Is your USB connected?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chitose_ndy:
okaaay will try it :D thank you
[Xperia Arc Android Development] basketballman:
nope.......it just keep rebooting!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
did you flash the boot.img in fastboot like

"fastboot flash boot boot.img"

now, you have to start again probably.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] basketballman:
ok i'll try it again

---------- Post added at 04:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 AM ----------

i just do it again

i follow all the instructions in the first post

after i type fastboot reboot

the phone reboot and reboot and reboot....

what am i going to do?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Nimche:
after fastboot reboot, phone will restart and as soon as you see Doomloard logo, you hit the volume down (keep pressing) till it goes to recover mode then do the rest.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] boy_ice1987:
Can some bodyhelp me? How can i change to MTP mode? =.=

@DoomLord: Thanks for your ICS Alpha Rom, this work really good: Working so fast, apps manager really good, the battery so good too :D but i think have some issues with graphics, i try some heavy games, it can't play, sometimes it freeze and i must take out battery and reboot again, i now this is really hard, but hope u will fix soon :"> Anyway everything really awesome :D thanks you so much about your work :X
