Am still running FXP115 and at the moment don't see much reason to upgrade. Am not remotely interested in the video camera, so this is fully functional for my use case. Smooth, slick - very nice stuff.

A couple of questions/requests though:

1) I am on baseband 58 (or I assume that's what it is - "About Phone" gives me a big long string that ends in 58). Is there any mileage in upgrading to the recommended baseband 64? I am doing just fine on wifi and phone signal/data. Am of the opinion if it's not broken, don't fix it - will I get any benefit for the grief factor, especially as I have a Mac and I'd need to dig up a Windows box to do it? About the only thing that'd interest me would be battery life. Also, the link for the baseband leads to a list of file with the number 62 (not 64) in - so am I looking at the right version?

2) If I understand it, the automatic brightness should be disabled? Except it isn't - not for me, at least. I am getting the brightness adjust itself based on ambient lighting and the app on the market "Disable Auto Brightness Xperia" actually works (i.e. it disables this behaviour). If the automatic brightness is going to be there it'd be nice to be able to get at the hysteresis settings and make it behave a bit less obnoxiously.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cLeAv0:
what's new in this exactly? :confused:

i can confirm this. it's still working.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] BeNiSh:
I found new strange think. when I install FXP116 CM9 I see diferent MAC address of WiFi interface than on official or FXP116 CM7. this was, why in FXP115 CM9 was impossible connect to my AP, where is MAC address filtering enabled. how that is possible? it should takes MAC address from hardware not just making some own :eek:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Loccy:
Hmm. This has a familiar ring to it. Over in Galaxy Tab 8.9 land we had an issue on some of our CM9 ROMs where the wifi defaulted to some hard coded MAC address rather than the true hardware one. This sounds a bit similar - and if so, means everyone running this ROM is toting the same MAC address :eek:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] BeNiSh:
my is 6C:23:B9:E2:C5:B4, what is yours? :D

FXP 116 CM9 with boot.img from same firmware
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Splog:
Same. I'm using fxp 115 with the fixed boot img.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Loccy:
Well as long as none of you lot ever visit my workplace or home I'm sure we'll be fine!

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Piemo:
Hi,

how long to have 3G working? What's wrong with it? :(

I wanna put it on my girlfriend's phone, but preferr to wait 'till everything seems working. I can't stand seeing that terrible xperia launcher and ui :P
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chuinkee:
3G is working for me in Malaysia using telco called Maxis, I think you have to try install only then you will find out if it works with your telco.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chuinkee:
Running FXP 115 with fixed boot image, music streaming to BT headset and BT car audio player still does not work. music comes out from phone speaker instead. Phone call BT works fine though.

BT headset tested: SE MW600, A2DP version 1.0

BT car audio tested: Sony DSX-S300BTX, A2DP version unknown

hope this helps

Hi FXP,

The Download link for CM9 brings me to the CM7.2 Build, does the upload needs some time?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] naveen88:
Here is the download link for cm9, but the files are not yet uploaded..i guess its in progress

http://fiberupload.com/users/jerpelea/6776/FXP117_CM9.0_RC0

---------- Post added at 12:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 AM ----------

Thank you, pls update the change log :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] xdodox:
Now the link is correct and the download links runs.

no, wait, still the 7.2 link.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cLeAv0:
no upload yet? lol
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Loccy:
Found this over on the Arc thread, which seems to have current links for the latest:

http://uploaded.to/folder/ifvgtk

They're reporting boot.img doesn't work though, just to give some heads up.

I'm nice and stable on 115, , and think I'm going to wait until FXP gets the little bumps sorted out.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] BeNiSh:
warning, both links CM7 and CM9 in first post goes to CM7, CM9 folder is empty :rolleyes:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cLeAv0:
downloaded it already. where's the changelog?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] stirkac:
wrong link :/
[Xperia Arc Android Development] naveen88:
Have you flashed it? is it working?

PFB the links:-

[Xperia Arc Android Development] cLeAv0:
yes it's booting fine. but i can't seem to see any changes :confused: still has the same bugs. and i noticed the boot.img filesize didn't change from fxp116.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] naveen88:
you are right, boot image file size is same as in fxp116...and as you said that all the previous issues still exist, then I will stick onto fxp 116 itself....will upgrade only when the existing issues are fixed
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cLeAv0:
yeah this update is almost... useless. unless we see a changelog.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] luctreebusch:
Problem with simcard it ask for a code didnt know what one so now i cant have a sim? What to do?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Tenacious:
Just dismiss everting will work.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
Please show some respect to the work being done so that you can enjoy CM9 on your phone, not to mention for free.

Be patient and keep checking this link for changelogs, which are always available when there is something worth announcing. ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cLeAv0:
oh i'm not complaining or anything. i'm really thankful for their work :p but as you can see if there's nothing worth announcing, then it's not worth releasing ain't it? also, i think you have the wrong link there.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
Link fixed.

Development is ongoing, internal and external testing is in progress and nobody is forcing you to update to each and every release. Let the developers do their thing.

End of discussion, please proceed on topic. Feedback and bug reporting that is.

Thanks! :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] BeNiSh:
first post still say

what does it mean? FXP111 is last stable release or what? :confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sleepsus:
Technically the change log is documentation and no documentation or inaccurate documentation is a defect/bug.

QA (Testers) need the documentation to perform test scenarios against the changes and validate the change/fix.

Pre, hindi lang tayo and balat sibuyas :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cLeAv0:
Okay sorry for that. But unfortunately i cannot give any feedback if i don't know the changes, so meh. I'll just wait for the next release.

Right on. :cool:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Splog:
I think some of the replies here seem terse, but you have to remember people are often not typing in their native language, so it's hard to convey the tone they wish to.

A changelog would be helpful (and a good incentive to get people to upgrade and test the latest version), but in the meantime we can still update to the latest and then create bug reports for anything that isn't working.

i plan to test out FXP117 to see if my wifi issues are fixed tonight.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] BeNiSh:
FXP117 drain battery too much. 10% almost in one hour without enabled wifi and datas, I am back on 116
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kaaniz:
Everything is working as intended, super smooth. Except for the front facing camera and hence the face unlock too is not working. The front camera FCs even when opened through the camera app or the facebook camera app. Any suggestions/help guys?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] PMelky:
In what difference of insertions?

FXP116 - Wi-fi works with Cisco 802.1x LEAP

FXP117 - Wi-Fi doesn't work

Speed of n, probably autochoice to change there is no possibility

Doesn't work key "Home", only wakeup device

Email agent not sorted folder (input, output), in FXP116 its work

I just started flashing my Xperia Pro yesterday and decided to try CM9.

Felt that the in-call volume is too low. Anyone else feels the same? And, what does the lockscreen toggle do? I thought it is to lock the screen but when i click on it, nothing happens.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] BeNiSh:
same.... CM9 for Pro is too unstable and buggy in this time. If you want something stable and fast, try Ultima for Pro ;-)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tanwg:
I like CM ROMs as they are usually very lean without the extra apps that i don't need. I tried Ultima for a brief 10mins. There are just too many apps in it. To get it to the state i like, some work is needed. CM is closer to what i would like to have on my Pro. Maybe i will go back to CM7.2
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chuinkee:
I wonder the issue with bluetooth audio streaming, could it be due to different A2DP version on various device we have?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Loccy:
ROM

I ended up doing that. It was battery life that did for me, but otherwise I genuinely couldn't find anything on this ROM that was so unstable as to make it unusable. Also tried Ultima and found it laggy and buggy. I may even have to accept the realisation that battery life on this device compared to what I'm used to just isn't in the same ballpark - and if so I'll be straight back to this ROM.

One question - which also applies to CM7 - is there any way of getting the suggestions to appear on screen as with a stock ROM when using the hardware keyboard? I miss this feature.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] PMelky:
115 and 116 version:

Correctly import mail and Contacts from Outlook Exchange Server with Category in preset Mail Client

116 - correctly work Wi-Fi modul with Cisco EAP-LEAP protocol

In oure rom this function FAIL

Make ROM without ADW Launcher please!!!!!!!!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Splog:
This rom doesn't have adw launcher.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] PMelky:
but this ROM doesn't work

front camera, radio, hardware keybord.

make next rom two variant

1. with ADW Launcher

2. without ADW Launcher
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Splog:
So... you're saying they should add an ADW Launcher variant so that you can... not use it?

you've lost me, i'm afraid.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] PMelky:
No, I say that 115 without ADW Launcher it is better, than that became in 117

Therefore better two options, and people will download what to them is more to liking
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cLeAv0:
this is CM9. They're using Trebuchet launcher.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] PMelky:
Prompt, whether there are corrections for use 12 and the 13th Wi-fi channel.

The problem with some points at me seems is connected with it.

ADW Launcher or Trebuchet Launcher for me fail :)

Status key for wi-fi, bt and other very small, ligth work incorrect (indicator)

Original 4 ICS better, imho
[Xperia Arc Android Development] BeNiSh:
somewhere is original ICS for MK16/Pro?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] azam426:
Can anyone give me the links to download FXP 115 and 116 ICS for Xperia Pro???
[Xperia Arc Android Development] naveen88:
Change log for FXP118 published in google code. Eagerly waiting to see whether camera issues have been fixed or not:-

FXP118

CM7.2 RC1

- latest cm 7.2 fixes

CM9.0 RC0

- latest cm 9.0 fixes

- kernel fix for all

[Nozomi]

- Xperia S (preview/Not even ALPHA)

- bootlogo fix

- recovery fix

- OTA fix

- mount fix

- initial camera push

- sensors fix

- device permissions fix
[Xperia Arc Android Development] chuinkee:
I hope the bluetooth audio streaming issue will be resolved in this release...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] king-iyokan:
On the home screen press menu button>manage apps>camera>clear data

And that will fix everything.. And remember not to use the front cam till its fixed
[Xperia Arc Android Development] king-iyokan:
Not yet released mate.. Wait for about a month to get it
[Xperia Arc Android Development] king-iyokan:
Well when on a call press the vol down button once and up button a couple of times after that.. It will fix ur issue but you'll have to do that everytime
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tanwg:
Yup I do know of that workaround. The volume button for mk16 isn't really the most user friendly ones around.

Anyway I am happy with CM7.2 now!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] king-iyokan:
I've got no problems with any of pro's buttons. But it takes quite a while to get used to it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Loccy:
Apparently, there's a patch for the poor battery life in this rom - Riyal of Xperia Pro Ultima rom fame was telling me about It over in his thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25627686&postcount=113

Any chance we can have this patch in the next release?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Splog:
they're teasing us by changing the thread title but not updating the download links. :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cLeAv0:
Apparently the changelog are

FXP119

CM7.2 RC1

- latest cm 7.2 fixes

CM9.0 RC0

- latest cm 9.0 fixes

- fixed front camera permissions(all devices with front camera)

- fixed all kernels

So this is really good news. I would be tempted to use this ROM again for the front camera :D hope they update the link soon.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] naveen88:
FXP has updated his signature links also. Below are the links for FXP 119....but uploading is still in progress

http://ul.to/folder/2xnuqt

http://fiberupload.com/users/jerpelea/7056/FXP119_CM9.0_RC0
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tanwg:
Wow, tempted to try CM9 again! I wonder if video cam is ok, if battery drain and low in-call volume still exist
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Splog:
still not arrived! i'm on tenterhooks here! :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] neolah:
So disappointed

There's a good news that they released it, I wait for it so long.

There's so many bad news as following: the front camera is still buggy, can't take a video record on back camera, still FC, the same kernel as FXP117(still unstable as we all know), the torch is flashing(so unstable)....

It just look like this release has nothing much better then, to everyone intent to flash this, hold your spirit because this release doesn't worth...

@FXP: please focus on our error debug, I know that just a few people use Xperia Pro as I do but we always want the good from your rom

Reconsider that
[Xperia Arc Android Development] murre87:
Same kernel as fxp117? If not can someone upload a flashable zip with kernel 119.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tanwg:
The kernel is in the zip. Open the zip and there is a boot.IMG in it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tanwg:
Anyone tried this? I want to know if the low in-call volume still exist
[Xperia Arc Android Development] murre87:
How do i install the boot.img without flashtool? Possible from recovery?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tanwg:
I use fastboot to flash the kernel.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Splog:
Ok, i've just installed. nothing's really changed compared with FXP115, from what i can see.

Front camera - still broken

Face unlock - broken (regressed from FXP114)

Battery Usage Statistics - Still missing

Portable hotspot - broken

Wifi - still flakey.

I'll let people know how the battery life is once i've used it for a day or two.

Still perfectly usable though. thanks devs!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] king-iyokan:
NO
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Splog:
If devs want me to provide logs for any of these issues, then i'm happy to do so.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] neolah:
After all, it looks like the devs didn't fix any thing, plz FXP, tell us what differences between FXP 115 and FXP 119 exactly... and plz come with the details, not only:

CM9.0 RC0

- latest cm 9.0 fixes

- fixed front camera permissions(all devices with front camera)

- fixed all kernels
[Xperia Arc Android Development] naveen88:
+1 on that

And there is no point in just giving these builds without having any interaction with users.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Matija Gubec:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1551073 ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
been trying it for few hours now, and I have to admit it's much better than the FX117 (which was the last one I tried)

but I do seem to have a problem with brightness, here is what I do:

1- set brightness to 100% (in settings)

2- turn screen off

3- turn screen back on and brightness is giving me 80% (even though in settings it's still on 100%)

any solution?!

Other than that till now everything is working flawlessly :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] neolah:
May be this release with you because you don't use the back and front camera,video recording... And don't use the word "EVERYTHING" when you didn't test all the function. Many thanks even if your test is not full..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] naveen88:
Can you please confirm whether video recording and front camera is working or not?

I am asking this as you had mentioned that everything is working flawlessly while many other users have reported that front camera and video recording doesn't work.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] xdodox:
-no front camera

-and, no back camera

always.... sorry camera closed
[Xperia Arc Android Development] OmarBizreh:
You have a point there, I should have said "Everything I tested" that would be better.

And yes, rarely use the Cam of my phone that's why I didn't test it ;)

---------- Post added at 05:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 PM ----------

I don't have a front cam in my phone :)

As for the video recording it's not working too.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] naveen88:
This is the thread for Xperia Pro. Afaik xperia pro has front camera and so does my xperia pro. Which phone do you use? Xperia UNKNOWN without front camera? :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Splog:
With regards to the camera questions:

Main camera works for photos only.

Main camera doesn't work for panorama (yellow screen) or video record ("camera has stopped working").

Front camera doesn't work for anything: photos, video or even face unlock like it used to.

I'm not sure if anyone's working on fixing Pro-specific issues. i'm not sure if these issues affect the Arc.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Loccy:
Can someone do me a favour - go into settings and "About Phone" and tell me what kernel details are listed?

I installed over the top of FXP115 after wiping cache, and it seemed to go OK, but I was surprised to see a date of April 4th on the kernel details. Have I managed to flash the wrong something somewhere along the line?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Splog:
hi loccy. i did a clean install with the new boot.img and i have 4th of april also. weird.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cLeAv0:
Devs probably trolling or something lol
[Xperia Arc Android Development] khodos:
I know they work for free, and we have to be thankful, but it's kind of annoying the null support that FXP gave to us in the forums...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Splog:
presumably, when the official release of ICS for Pro comes out, it'll make the dev's job a bit easier.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Splog:
I'm going back to 7.2 until the wifi's sorted out. It's just too annoying the way it constantly drops on some access points.

I'll keep an eye out though and test future releases.

Thanks again devs.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tanwg:
I was hoping the same too. Going to wait till CM9 stabilises before I use it. Also hoping that the developers communicate mote with the user base.

Anyway, thanks for the hard work!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] neolah:
To FXP, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR OUT-OF-HELP SUPPORT, IF YOU DON'T WANNA CONSIDER BUG WE SHOWED, YOU SHOULD PROBABLY CLOSE THE TOPICS BECAUSE IT'S FAR FROM SUPPORT.....

[Xperia Arc Android Development] ameer1234567890:
What problem is that?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tanwg:
I believe he was just asking if any of the issues fixed but he was not referring to any in specific.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cevin333:
The kernel has the same build date as the one in 119 (Apr. 4th) so I don't think there will be much difference in hardware support.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] naveen88:
This is the best build so far.......i donot see any battery drain with this build....atleast for me....and bravia engine and xloud ports works with this build......sound is just awesome now.....i am loving it....new features like theme chooser and lockscreen shortcuts are good and useful.......except for the existing issues like low in call volume and video recording,panorama mode bug.....if these issues are fixed then it would be the best....thanks fxp for your continued support for xperia pro
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ameer1234567890:
Which xLoud and Bravia Engine ports are you using?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] naveen88:
Forgot to mention, its the port made by you which is working now. Earlier it didn't work. I remember my post in your thread regarding this.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hf.henri:
What kernel should I use? Stock?

I wanted to overclock of 1.4 ghz and use CM9.0 at the same time.

Except for that I have to use a custom kernel.

thank you
[Xperia Arc Android Development] malvykay:
Hi guys

Thanks be to the developers who are supporting this project. I'm unfamiliar with CM9 but I want to install it. Can anyone post a link to a step by step guide for installing CM9 specifically for Xperia Pro MK16i(if there is any) or just write it out I would greatly appreciate. Also how much Ram is free on boot, I am not liking the amount that I have on stock Rom. I know I have extra apps that start up on boot. they are not many but whenever I boot up RAM left is about 120 which I feel is too low for a 512mb ram device. is this CM Rom better interms of RAM.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Splog:
the process is identical to this guide for the Arc:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Arc:_Full_Update_Guide

the only difference being instead of downloading the "latest version of cyanogen" and google apps which they link to, you download them from the start of this thread.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] malvykay:
OK thanks..the procedure is simple enough,. But before i update i need to know if CM9 has more free RAM. On boot i have about 140mb of ram free including some few apps ive installed that start up on boot. how much RAm is free on boot with o without external apps on CM9
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Marcell96:
*wrong thread*
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hf.henri:
:confused::confused::confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tanwg:
I am not too sure of your question. If your are going to use CM9 for your Xperia Pro, you need to use the kernel provided. It is the boot.img in the zip file.

Can I do overlock with this kernel?
