What's better:

xperia mod or arconium?

Just tried arconium and I'm liking it so far.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbarleycorn:
My vote is for se-tweaked :D:D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finbaar:
No the best ROM is SE Tweaked 0.8.5 compaed to any other stock or custom build. Team it with Doomkernel and you have a superb lag free fast phone.. For me CM always appeared dull compared to the stock ROMs. And typical to any CM ROM it had missing features and poor battery.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr6768:
which one of these ROMs holds longer battery life ?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] somedude67:
With cm you also cant use the keyboard in landscape properly without hammering the space bar key which is pretty retarded imo. Also the camera sucks. Im on stock with doom kernel personally. I had a look at arconium but couldn't really see any benefit over stock rom same with xperia mod. Might give se tweaked a go though.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr6768:
what about stock .62 ? anyone used it ?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terranox:
Which are the best ROM for battery??? Arconium, xperiamod or se tweaked??? Only expert please and one reason thanks

I have used Arconium with doomlord kernel for few weeks now. Very good battery usage in my average use (2 days usualy). I tested few roms and always went back to stock, before I found Arconium.

..fast, no lags, and battery drain is excellent :D

I'm happy with stock 042 but I'm thinking to give a try to Arconium....
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
Do it ;)

I regret that I waited till I tried it, it's AWESOME!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bumax:
I liked alot stock 042 and went back to it over and over again till I tried Arconium and never came back to stock, give it a try ;)

Can I add the Bravia Engine and SE camera app in Arconium?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linx1287:
can any of these roms be installed on a rooted & recovery installed but LOCKED BOOTLOADER Arc S?? reason i ask is that i used to use a W8 & i didnt unlock bootloader on that but i was still able to flash custom roms in it......i m really very apprehensive about unlocking bootloader in case i brick it or something
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ritmasz:
I think bricking is a mith or you need to do intendently.

Cause my Arc S was my first android and on day 1 a went full moding style and had no big problems, just some bootloops or freezes, but everything is fixable.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dp94:
You could use Aniking's ROM. ;)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bumax:
Bravia engine can be installed and camera app is SE already.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andry1234:
Oh, thank you for the infos. It's really "eye-sensible" the passage from stock to arconium?

If you have rooted your phone, easiest way is to add ClockWorkMod and Bravia Engine to any rom that is missing it with this nice tool ;)

Very nice tool, I will give a try to Arconium and CM 7.2.0
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
It's based on stock ROM, that means it has Bravia ;)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linx1287:
the thing is i opened a thread earlier about what roms i can flash with a locked bootloader & someone suggested xperia mod so i tried it & it was stuck at the sony ericsson letters forever....i searched throughout the forum & everyone suggested to reflash stock firmware through flashtools. this happened the night i GOT the arc s.....after that...i became very apprehensive about reflashing any more roms.....so i just rooted it again & used titanium backup to erase all unnecesary crap software that comes with stock firmware to keep it light on its feet.....but i miss the fun of custom roms that i used to get with the W8

is there not a way similar to how the x10 ran, that we can bypass the boot loader ?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eoidfil:
I like CM7. It has many settings that are not available in stock ROMs.

It's obviously missing FM Radio. I tried MIUI and it looks very good, also very snappy. The problem is that it doesn't support WiFio tethering. I'm thinking of trying Arconium.

3 days ago i was on arcanium 7.0 it was very stable and fast. Yesterday i switch to Xperia mod and i feel its a bit faster, bariery drain are same.

But devs don't care because non sim locked phones (which most of them have) are unlockable.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kintama01:
I've tried SE Tweaked, Arconium and CM7. Honestly, they're all great. I think it comes down to personal preference in the end.

For me Arconium was the best but I'm gonna try the ICS Beta now.

My advice, do a nandroid backup and take them all for a spin! See which one you prefer.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bionik_kaos:
personal opinion

i tried most of them .... they are all good. ... it depends what you want .... developers are putting hard work in those roms. ... they have they're own opinion on how the phone should work and look.... if you like everything that se is offering you on a rom ... then official based rom is for you. ... if your and android global and minimalist .... well cm7 or 9 is for you. ... and last but not least if you like the look of iphone but know that android rocks!!!!! than miui is for you

you cant compare all roms and say that rom is the best ... we need every kind for every people

im on ics beta .... and love it. ... cant wait for doomlord to create kernels and what not for this ....like his work .... he's pushing my arc s to the limit

but thats my opinion
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vulkanisatie:

best way to check it is with S1TOOL. Just identify your phone. If it gives device id with captial its unlocked (if i dont remember wrong). You can also try to hotboot a kernel with CWM to see if it works

code:

fastboot boot FILENAME.img | FILENAME is the name of the img file (kernel)

if it gives blue led on boot its unlocked

In case anyone is noticing that megaupload links aren't responding.

Megaupload finished: Feds shut down file-sharing giant without SOPA

MegaUpload Shut Down by the Feds, Founder Arrested

Here's the actual indictment filed in an Alexandria, Virginia, US court;

Mega-Indictment

It doesn't look like the service will back anytime soon, so folks may want to consider utilizing other services for uploads, etc.

Good Luck..

Addendum:

Deleted the reference to SOPA/PIPA in my subject heading because this action has nothing to do with those laws. SOPA/PIPA are designed to implement measures so that "suspected" "piracy" sites can have their DNS entries blocked from US internet users which will frustrate efforts to access those sites, and to take away revenue by stopping credit card companies from doing business with them. IOW these are laws targeting the so-called "end users".

This action against Megaupload was a straight up site takedown and arrest of the founders, which was obviously coordinated with multiple law enforcement agencies from multiple countries. (At least the US and New Zealand were involved). This was action targeting the so-called "suppliers".

Having said that, if you're a US voter you should make sure you let your US Congress representatives know how you feel about SOPA/PIPA. Even if phase one of the web protests are over for now.

[Off-topic] punjabi_xtasy:
President Obama has taken a stance against SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act), a bill that would allow the justice department to force Internet providers and search engines to block all sites accused of copyright infringement.

For now, it appears that President Obama has stalled the controversial legislation. Read the details according to Forbes.com:

“The growing anti-SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) support that has swept through the gaming and Internet community found a very big ally today. With websites like Reddit and Wikipedia and gaming organizations like Major League Gaming prepared for a blackout on January 18th – the same day that the House Judiciary Committee hearing on HR 3261was scheduled in Washington, D.C. – President Barack Obama has stepped in and said he would not support the bill.

SOPA has been delayed, for now. The House has agreed to revisit the issue next month, but they now know the White House will veto any bill that’s not more narrowly focused.

Much to the chagrin of Hollywood, the Entertainment Software Association (which has been a backer of the bill from early on), and Internet domain company GoDaddy.com (which lost many accounts as a result of its support for the bill); SOPA has been shelved. The Motion Picture Association of America, one of the bill’s largest sponsors, is expected to regroup.”
[Off-topic] treo...not!:
I foresee prohibition-style shakedowns and takedowns. This issue is going to explode as the two sides engage in strikes and counterstrikes, but I do hope cooler heads prevail.

All respect to other opinions voiced here, but megaupload facilitated a great deal of sketchy shenanigans and did not appear to police its site effectively enough. Of course, a task like that is gargantuan.

I wonder, though, if the g-men will also shut down YouTube and arrest its principals as well? I suspect there is more pirated intellectual property there than on most of the rest of the internet combined. What would make YouTube exempt, and would such an exemption be fair?

"Soup" or no soup, the coming months will prove historic in the life of the internet, an internet that will be forced to grow up beyond the walled garden of its adolescence and thence to play by the rules of the rest of society. You heard it here, folks: The age of internet innocence is over, and sopa/pipa are just early, clumsy practice shots as the media industry and legislators gauge public opinion before launching a more calculated assault.

This is why the retaliatory actions of Anonymous and others cause me great concern. I think they will turn public sentiment against the internet community, paint all opponents of sopa and pipa and similar bad legislation as wildeyed bandits, and thus embolden the powers that be to insist on draconian measures that will force the internet to mature too quickly, severely undermining its usefulness in the process.
