[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gd48202:
I have a Desire Z that has been unlocked and s-off'd with Xtcclip. I have read all the posts but am a little confused.

I would like to root the phone. Is it possible to flash cwm using volume button down and power menu? Then once the cwm is installed, use it to flash a new rooted rom such as cyanogenmod?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nipqer:
best way would be to follow the xda wiki.

You could temp-root and dd (or flash_image) a recovery into place, at your own peril, but seeing as xtc doesn't give you an eng hboot you can't do it through bootloader.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skiba:
So i've had my Arc over 8 months now. I bought it for 2 reasons, the camera and it's size (slimness and screen), all other high-spec phones seem(ed) to be substantially bigger.

Now quite honestly the stock sony rom was bloated and slow, I think we can all agree, cue going down the CM route. However that took an eternity to get the camera working. Now we have 7.2 with a working camera but most people seem to experience significant battery drain which limits the usefulness of the phone, me included.

Cue waiting for CM9.0, all seems to be going well but it's not ready yet (credit to the devs on both of these releases). Now I think about it, i've been waiting all this time for a decent workable rom to make this phone as good as it should be. Shouldn't it have been released fast enough for the mass market? Do SGS2 owners have this? GN owners? I highly doubt it.

Anyway, just intrigued to know if anyone else has similar thoughts to me. Don't get me wrong, I still have hope that this can be the phone I want it to be but when it is it will be outdated and superceded. My 2 cents...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rashid.fairus:
try acronium dude,fully stock,combine with doomkernel,have it supercharge,theme it a little bit,add this add that,it is not the phone itself made it perfect,its you who made it perfect,so my opinion is xperia arc was indeed perfect if you know how to perfecting it..

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xajel:
Arc is a nice phone, but only if you want to keep it stock.. don't install too many apps ( just very few )... the reason for this is the low RAM and Internal ROM... both making the phone slower and sluggisher when ever you install more apps...

Normally all Android phones have memory management, and all apps if you exit it will stay in the ram to make re-launching it faster... this is nice if you have plenty of RAM... but if you're running low on both RAM and ROM ( like with any mid-low phone ) then this will be hard, as in most cases the RAM will be almost full, the internal ROM will be like this... the phone will try to free some space in order to run any new app you want as the old apps keeps it self in the memory filling it up...

Xperia arc is a nice phone, but the main problem is it's RAM and ROM being too much low... you have to depend on 3rd party apps to free some space in order to make your phone run smoother and faster... you must move every app to the microSD to save the precious internal space... and for some cases this is not enough !! considering the phone comes already with pre-installed apps that most users won't use but they can't remove most of them without root !!

personally, I rooted the phone, installed Titanium Backup pro.. and removed all apps I don't want to save the ROM space, and installed my preferred apps but still running low !! currently I have only 50MB free for the internal ROM, and less than 60MB of free RAM...

using the phone more will make the RAM less slowing up everything in the phone !!

Yeah I know, the best way to use the RAM is to make it fills, but you MUST have free space to make the phone smoother for any new apps/work...

If you have plenty of RAM ( lets say 1GB at least ) then let it takes 700 - 800 meg but just keep some free for the UI, new apps and so on.. something like 100 - 200 is very nice...

that's why 512MB RAM is too low, while 1GB is very nice !! ( talking about GB and earlier, I don't know about ICS ) as the phone normally with a user that loves apps will require at least 600-700MB of RAM which is more than what is already available on the phone !!

this is the story of RAM alone, there's another talk about ROM !!, basically while I have 50MB free, it's on the edge.. any apps will need update will take the ROM, if the app is a system app ( pre installed ), it will be saved to the system app space, the update will stay on the user internal ROM, it will not be integrated to the system space.. so it will eat more of the internal ROM unless you integrated the update to the system space which requires root and a 3rd party app ( Titanium backup )... sometimes even with 50MB free if there's multiple apps to update I can't update them all as the ROM will get filled up and when it reach's 40MB and lower, the system will alert me of low ROM space... and depending on the app it might not be possible to update it as some apps needs to save the update on ROM first before going any where else !!

I got my arc 15 days back

previously owned both x10 and galaxy s

x10 is good but is slow with low gpu

galaxy was blazing fast but i didnt like touch wiz

HTC sense looks good but eats lots of ram

Arc is slim, sexy, speed, smooth and powerful.

have been a fan of SE ui.

I haven,t rooted it yet and maintaining it stock :D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] realfelix:
well the arc is not that fast i have to agree on that one.. but still it is the sexiest phone out there :D ! and dont worry about lags with low memory, ICS is optimized for a MUCH better memory management, so if sony does it right you won't have to worry about laggy or slow experience because of low ram :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinkster:
I prefer the SE ui compared to sense/tw, and modded stock roms like arconium or festa20's rom. Link2sd sorts out any internal memory issues, Dooms kernel lets you overclock(or underclock), supercharger script or juwe11s ram manager take care of ram issues, linux swap ensures smooth running during intense usage...and so on. Android is open source for a reason.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skiba:
Thanks for the replies. I'm running 7.2 but maybe i'll move to Arconium. But regardless, that makes my point, I have to install a custom rom to make the phone fast. I don't mind so much about space, I don't install that much, I need it to be a phone, take photos and use a small selection of apps. I shouldn't really need to spend hours of my time unlocking it, playing around with custom roms etc. For us that can do it then great, but what about the 99% of normal users that don't have the knowledge to do any of this, I wonder how they feel, will they buy a Sony again having run with the Sony rom from day one? Unlikely...

best phone i've owned

looks great

great in hand

never froze

reasonable battery

all apps work without any force closing

stayed on stock since day one

great sound

nice video streaming

nice cam

just missing the front cam

the xperia S has the same launcher lag as the arc

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doministry:
I have Arc since April 2011.

It's basically a perfect device.

There are two issues:

1. Crack, which looks bad but doesn't influence anything else (shame...)

2. RAM too low, which can be dealt with by rebooting once a week.

3. The internal memory could be bigger.

I have like 60 apps or so and this phone flies, still on Stock ROM. Seriously, no single freeze or reboot since the .42 FW. It's just brilliant.

So, for the first time I'm not even anxious to get my Xperia S just because I think Arc could work for another year.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bartbla:

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doomed151:
I like it but since CM9 is buggy and there's nothing else new, I think I've already explored every nook and cranny of the arc.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sennyqtek:
I'm still an Arc fan, have it for 8 months now. My only problem is the crack. Have it repaired 2 times now. Bought a cover so I don't have to see the crack again if it comes back.

But besides the crack it is perfect. Also stock rom, 75 apps installed and no lag. Perfect camera! I love it!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pecholino:
well..

today i got a chance to try out the dual core HTC Sensation.

i have to admit, that occasionally, it is much snappier than the arc but it lacks something.

i don't know.. maybe is it the camera, the display.. but i just like the arc better.

i can get the sensation for a very low price (the price i could sell my arc for no problem) but i decided to keep the arc.

it's just... yes! It's a better phone! An all-arounder.

Should get my barely there case to protect it tomorrow, really happy at least till upgrade when I will get the Xperia S , all the moaning I did when I had my x10 about Sony and the Arc S is superb and the xperia S looks even better

Good since rooting

I've had my arc for about 5 months now,

It had become really slow just from using it (loads of apps and all that)

So I rooted it about a month ago with the doomlord method. (never got my head around how to get CM on it though)

And since rooting I'm pretty much happy with it speed-wise.

Oh, and I hated the SE Interface so I run GO Launcher.

This has been my first post. Thank you.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daveybaby:
Had my arc now for about 10 months (i think).

Using rooted stock ROM with a few tweaks here and there (v6 supercharger, appwidgetpicker, transparent dock). Deleted a fair bit of the bloatware.

The only problems i have with it are that it's still occasionally laggy, and could do with more internal storage (although its obviously not that much of a problem or i would've gotten around to using apps2sd+).

However, the camera is amazing, the screen is fantastic, we get regular firmware updates and it's the still best looking phone on the market by miles (including all of the new sony phones). It could do with a dual core CPU, more RAM, and more internal storage, but i knew that even when i bought it 10 months ago. Still love it.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenmystro:
never knew why any1 bothered with stock rom or any custom rom

Ok I been using the arc for 10 months had it rooted for 9. I am totally new to hacking phones but think iv done a sweet job.

I could never understand why any1 would waste time having a custom rom, if they all leave parts of the phone not working.

Personally iv been usong go launcher from the market since day 1. Used titanium to delete the bloatware and all stock apps including launcher.

Move apps to sd and have always got more than 150 available in rom. Ram is an issue seeing as there is so little but iv got 214 apps and hav 60-171 free depending what's running. This still proves lacking if you want to open a massive word or excel document. Simply need to break down the fiLe on a pc before putting it on phone that is a pain.

Battery life has always been gash until I found out about patching baseband this should be step 2 for all arc users the battery increase is phenominal,especially in standby. However using 3g with a bright screen and bravia still only3/4hours video playpack.

That being said I phoned tmobile and gave them an ear bashing about battery life on smartphones in general and they sent me another free of charge so 2 batteries works a treat.

Love Xperia ARC thanks to XDA

Yes, I love my phone.

Got it 11 months ago, and found it got sluggish as I installed apps (ran 90 custom apps).

Now running JJHybrid ROM (v 3.2 by jjdoctor) with ArcKnight kernel (v3.3 from jrummy77). The phone is fast and responsive. The battery life is good, and on top of this there is still enough development at XDA that I can look forward to testing new cool stuff every now and then.

Also the Kernel allows me to over-clock to 1.7GHz, but the phone is fast enough running at the standard 1GHz.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] szymon247:
I still like it but frankly it started annoying me a bit. I've never had a phone of this low build quality so after a year of taking care of the phone it doesn't look as good as it used to. Especially "chrome" parts.

Also, it feels slow now. So yeah, I like my Arc because in practice even switching to a new phone now I won't gain that much but nevertheless I'm in the process of looking for a worthy successor. Again, unfortunately there are no worthy new phones from Sony so I'm looking at HTC and Samsung.

Dobar dan gospdin Torture !

I totally agree with this. The design of the Xperia Arc (I have an Arc S) is great. And I still have to find a Sony model, or other model, with an equally or even better design.

Yes, the hardware could be a bit better, more up-to-date, but design wise I love the Arc (s). And if you're using a custom ROM the speed is still okay. I'm on JellySandwich 6.2 and it's butter smooth.

(Jelly Sandwich 7.2.1 is just realeased by Maxio1998, but I prefer the Aroma customizability of 6.2)

The only new phone I recently saw that could interest me is the new Nokia Lumia 920 (superb camera, wireless charging), but too bad it's not running Android => I'll stick to my beloved Arc S for a little longer.

By the way, did anyone hear about the inductive charging/wireless charching mod for Arc(s)? I'm thinking about applying this. Would be nice not have to plug/unplug power cables anymore. That would make the Arc also really unique compared to the other phones mr_torture depicted.

I love the design but the hardware quality isn't great (I have a lot of cracks in the housing now), the ICS update was disappointing and am totally sick of this will-they-won't-they Android update lottery.

My next phone will be a Nexus. I'll either buy a Galaxy Nexus outright (you can buy them for around £275 in the UK now) or wait for my contract to run out in a few months and see how much the new LG Nexus 4 is going to cost.

But this is my last Sony phone. My wife has an Xperia S and it's also been a disappointment - it won't get a JB update until sometime next year and it was the flagship Sony device until recently. This is totally unacceptable and I've gone from being a bit of a Sony fanboy to actively discouraging people from buying their phones. :(

The stock rom is amazing if you optimize it!
