[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] szl.kiev:
Hi guys,

Since there are SE 4.0.3 leaked rom for ARC, so I decided to port the ARC rom to our Ray.

I'm not a developer, just a ROM cooker.

This rom is based on leaked rom posted in ARC section

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1402854

thanks to caqo71 for providing the link, also specially thanks for the one that originally leaked the rom for us.

The purpose of this ROM are for preview what will we get on next SE official release, and second all, a ROM for ones that want AOSP style, but still can switch to SE style, so we don't have to stick just in 1 style (SE or CM), but lets focus on the bugs now :)

[Update news 17-Feb]

Bring back all T9 keyboard languages & TTS

Merging previous fix & update.

No important fix was made :(

With new kernel, the graphic glitch will only stuck in 1 process, when you leave the app, the glitch will gone also.

Still with the setting using built-in memory management in Settings >> Developers options >> tick 1. Force GPU rendering, 2. Background process limit, choose anything beside Standard limit), the result is this ROM is getting more usable :)

Important note: Due to regaining more free ram spaces, some localization files were removed, such as Japanese keyboard, dictionary , etc. (waste around 20 MB) so please edit script (cleaner.sh) inside update.zip before flashing,

choose files according to your local language, default is English US

Latest update are ROM v2.2 (AOSP Style) & 1.2 (SE Style)

Kernel v2.2

[Info]

1. v1.0 is initial ROM, SE style with some bloat ware.

2. It's a leaked rom, so bugs are expected (please report bugs, hopefuly with fixing solutions :) )

3. It's for testing purpose only, not for daily use (please use ICS 4.0.1 Alpha ROM for daily use)

4. I hope other devs are participating in building this ROM to become a daily use ROM

5. No ETA, I'll do the best I can do.

[Not Working / Known Issues]

Since this is a leaked ROM there are some issues :

1. VIDEO PLAYBACK buggy (no proper /lib/hw/overlay.default.so ), temp solution: turn off Bravia Engine

2. Graphics glitches (Lack of memory allocator, temporary solution go to >> Settings >> Developers options >> tick 1. Force GPU rendering, 2. Background process limit, choose anything beside Standard limit

3. Some apps from Market might be FCs (due to incompatibility with 4.0.3 / SDK 15) & maybe some random reboots
