Hi again,

Just did flash kernel before flash ROM but still it didn't work.

My steps are as follow:

1. Power off the phone.

2. Enter fastboot mode.

3. Flash Stock ICS Kernel 4.1.A.0.562 as recommended by doomed151

4. Enter flash mode.

5. Flash Baseband 70

6. Enter fastboot mode (yes again)

7. Flash Recovery to enter Recovery mode

8. Wipe everything, include: Dalvik Cache, Battery, ..

9. Flash the ROM in recovery mode

10. Reboot

And my phone get stuck at the blank (grey) screen after the Sony logo. Please advise?

Thanks,

Minh
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
Repeat those steps but skip 6 and 7.

EDIT: Or better yet:

1. Power off the phone.

2. Enter flash mode.

3. Flash baseband 70.

4. Enter fastboot mode.

5. Flash Stock ICS Kernel 4.1.A.0.562.

6. Boot into recovery. That kernel has recovery built-in.

7. Wipe data / factory reset.

8. Flash the ROM in recovery mode.

9. Reboot.

SD card seems not mount. None of my pictures and videos shows on gallery. No songs on my Music player. Please help.

By the way, this ROM is fast and lag free.

Thanks!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krugm0f0:
WiFi greyed out on 2.4 :o
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kickerz14:
Then mount storage in cwm recovery.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Babis_ECE:
Flash the WiFi Modules of the kernel again. ;)

I am using ArcKnight RC1 and WiFi works just fine in Arconium 2.4
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Tonyshun87:
It's really strange that the browser cannot use flash11，which says support 4.0？
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TangLy:
Thank you for your reply, but no luck so far. Still got stuck at the Sony logo. This is my friend's phone, maybe he didn't unlock bootloader yet.

Thanks,

Minh
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Look at Flashtool log- it will say if bootloader is unlocked ("rooted") or not
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TangLy:
The log says: "Bootloader status : ROOTED", does this mean the bootloader is unlocked?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] caqo71:
besides this, is there a post that explain how to flash a custom rom?, people get confused with some terms like Kernel, Baseband, wifi modules, and Baseband libs.

Nice work Doomed
[Xperia Arc Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Yes, it is unlocked. There should be no problems with any flashing.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bmwbasti:
One question before I give ICS a try ;)

Do I need to flash libs when flashing baseband 70?

I'm coming from GB and still use baseband 36.

Kind regards

Basti
[Xperia Arc Android Development] LiquidRobotics:
No, just flash Baseband 70 :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Maxitay:
So nobody has a problem with "infinite view"? :(

Can't wait for version 3!! 2.4 is already great (even with my problem with the infinite view)!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rednit:
can i play TEMPLE RUN in my ARC (not s) with this version ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bmwbasti:
Thx for your reply :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Saiger:
yes u can
[Xperia Arc Android Development] TangLy:
Thank you. I just flashed Arconium 8.2 without any problem.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Shark107:
No, you can't. There are touch issues on every ICS Rom right now.

Now I can see why some user got mad at me when I asked the same question :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krugm0f0:
Thank-you, can I kiss you? :P
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Babis_ECE:
Happy everything works as it should. :)

No need for kisses..! :p

From what I understand after everytime you flash a new ROM, you have to flash WiFi Modules again for WiFi to work properly.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] javii:
Hi, I' m experiencing problems with mobile data after upgrading to 2.4 from 2.2.

In the status bar I usually saw H icon and now I see H but it changes to 3G randomly and then back to H. When it is changing I cannot use any Internet browser normally, it is laggy.

I'm not sure if this is a rom related problem or it is a problem with my carrier (Movistar Spain), but everything were until upgrade to 2.4 version.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you doomed for this great rom.

Damn!

I have lost ROOT after flashing 2.4!:mad:

How that can happen??:confused:

I will re-flash and report...:(

After flashing 3 times again, I give up.

Flashtool says when I connect device that is rooted:

But, every app that need root doesn't function. I have downloaded root checker app from market, and it says that device is not rooted.

HELP?!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DanhThanhTam:
Waiting for next 4.0.4 version!

any ways, this rom perfectly fast!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ArcMan09:
No issues are there for me..for people having problems..u can flash this in a full wipe again..;-)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] quangtus:
It doesn't happen to me. My Arc plays FreeplayHD, DeathRace... smoothly.

Maybe full wipe and fix permission needed.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] h.debnath:
totally off topic but..

we can now finally play temple run on our ICS powered devices thanks to an update on the game! :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] fearless139:
Do you experience lagging in Cut The Rope? I overclocked my ArcS to 1.7Ghz but it's still lagging, although it's still playable :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
See? Told u guys. Some1 said tenple run works on ICS but it does not. It now have received the ICS update. This shows that you have to check the game for any ICS release.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
Tell me how many of you are interesting in testing Arconium ICS 3.a. If there's at least 5 people, I'll upload it here.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] batwingnz:
I'd hit it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
+1 to that (Also means I will test it)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
I can test it... I´ll be on vacations, so I can test during the next few days doomed..

Just hit my inbox if you like me to do so :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] levior:
I had this issue too, when changed an another SU app while installing v2.4. From SuperSU to Superuser in my case. In SuperSU (donate) preferences had an option to deactivate SU app and now its ok without wiping data.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Shark107:
How can you play Death Race? That damn game installs over 100 Mb on Internal storage, I love it but it's really too much for my limited memory xD Or is there some update which allows full move to SD?

great news, thanks! I can finally play it xD

[Xperia Arc Android Development] jhnjrdan:
I'm giving feedback for the first time, and all I have to say its that Arconium 2.4 is wildly SMOOTH. The 3g connection is supreme, and battery life seems to be nice as well. Sure I would test Arconium 3.0, with pleasure.

But I have a question: is there any way to optimize core efficiency? Or that's kernel related and solved with overclocking? Also, is it possible to improve Adreno drivers by overclocking it or modding the driver, something like this?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Dark Fable:
Ofc I'd love to test your ROM. :D

Help

Please, can someone help me with my "infinite view" issue? I tried to Wipe cache, to install apk from another rom where it works but I still have a force close.... Timescape doesn't work either :( I have problems with Arconium only, not with other roms.

It is quite annoying because I can't modify my contacts anymore....

Does anyone have a idea to fix that? :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SevenD2:
Are you using something like Link2SD?

because I got a lot of force closes with it
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
Release them at 12am :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] goatimus:
Hi first post in arc forums, had my arc s for about 5 days, i'm up for flashing new version, i've just about got my head around flashing new roms and kernals ( alot different then my other device.)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] SE.XperiaRc:
WiFi doesn't work...

I've followed the installation instructions.

Baseband shows that it's 70

Rom shows that it's arconium

and kernel, i used the stock one with CWM

So it shows "2.6.32.9-perf BuildUser@BuildHost #1"

Wifi still greys out when turning it on. anyone has this problem?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] deepthroat:
use lib files from kernel you're using.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
Arconium ICS 3.a

Based on 4.1.B.0.431-zdzihu (Android 4.0.4).

Added safe tweaks. More to be added later after testing.

Rooted with Superuser and BusyBox v1.19.3.

Patched framework.jar to support software rendering.

3.b

Optimized startup sequence. Now less likely to freeze during boot.

Enabled software rendering by default.

3.c

AROMA Installer customizations are back!

Overall system performance improvement.

Applied SystemUI background fix.

update-Arconium-ICS-3.c_AROMA.zip (186 MB / 27 May)

EDIT: Almost forgot this, a full wipe is highly recommended if you're coming from 4.1.A.0.562 (2.x) releases.

Happy testing.

Suffered insane battery. Yesterday was fine (80% at the end of the day), today battery is flat by midday.

Also had the same problem in the ICELite ROM.

Hi anybody had problems with 3g data as got no data here on Orange UK and serious lag with text messages :( any tweaks I can do ??

Cheers
[Xperia Arc Android Development] CrazyPeter:
Whilst this ROM (and the SE base) show great promise, I can't suffer 3-4x more battery consumption than normal.

I need to go back to something Gingerbread based, as close to stock+root as possible.

Can someone point me in the direction of going back to something rock-solid. I don't want to lose CWM if I can help it, as I will be coming here again...

I'm guessing I need a new boot.img flashing using fastboot suitable for Gingerbread and a new rootfilesystm as a ZIP I flash the same way I did for ICS...

Can someone point me to some links?

Thanks.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Azev:
The fourth charge is the good one. I have installed V2 without Wipe. I have always BT on and 3G data on. Battery seems better since i have limited the applications in background (limit to 4)

​
[Xperia Arc Android Development] CrazyPeter:
Very minimal use today apart from some lunchtime exercise logged in Endomondo.

Looking at CPU Spy, it's not been deep sleeping at all :-(

Yesterday battery life was fine, and I havn't changed anything since then... No new apps or anything else. Clearly a specific event kicks off and the phone doesn't like deep sleeping anymore... What that event is..... Who knows....

I did hear whispers that somethin was fixed in Android 4.04 with regards to this. Perhaps SE would release us a new beta to play with? The last one was almost perfect base.....

Which is best Kernal to use with This ROM and baseband? I also need 2 way call recorder, which works best with this ROM?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Us3Less:
Need some help here to point out what I missed out or did wrong

1 - Flash my baseband to .64 from this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1382657

2 - Flash Stock Kernel from the link on 1st page

3 - Installed v2 and boot up successfully

Now the problem I have is very weak wifi signal even when I'm next to the modem . Takes me 1-2 mins to load google page and market keeps showing " No connection " ..... Wifi works fine with other devices

*edit : even try flashing to .36 which also gave the same problem ...... Never had this issue running on GB ROM
[Xperia Arc Android Development] somedude67:
noticed the advanced stock kernel make my arc how up as 1t18i in the about screen. Would this make my arc run at arc s speeds as thats not what id want to happen or does it only run at what it should on an arc?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Istvan_86:
No, if I don´t wrong your Arc runs like an Arc (1Ghz).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bladesuk1:
getting a strange issue with this - for some reason the rom keeps telling me that my sim isn't inserted. despite this, i can still make calls and the network appears to be locking on correctly - but i can't retrieve internet settings or do anything else requiring the sim to be inserted. very odd, because it seemed to work fine during the initial set-up.

Hello, with Arconium ICS and IceLite I have the same battery issue that you comment. Talking about GB based ROM I point to you at Arconium 7.1 + DoomKernel v18 1,6Ghz and I have a great battery life + awesome performance. Now v19 was released but I don´t test it, but all the comments about v19 are good.

PS: I also use SuperCharger + undervolting with incredicontrol + OC to 1,4 Ghz.

Hi Doomed,

yesterday I flashed Arconium ICS 2.4 and so far it runs really smooth and nice.

But I got one huge problem: the battery lifetime :(

Somethings is really soaking my battery.

I fully charged the battery and afterwards I went to bed. So almost everything was disabled (Wifi, 3G etc). But something seems to not let my Arc get into deepsleep and so the battery is discharged to 45% :(

I've added some screenshots and hope that you can help me

Kind regards

I'm tempted to try v3 - what are the benefits of software rendering?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Maxitay:
No I don't have Link2SD. But thanks for you're answer. I hope that the version 3 will fix my problem!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
There would be no benefits but in stock ICS ROMs, Sony messed up hardware rendering so software rendering would produce more fluid movements at the cost of app compatibility (eg. Chrome Beta). I also noticed that the stock browser is slower with software rendering.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pergoteborg:
Running v3a on DoomKernel v5. Got no notification bar on top of screen and can not get running app-list with homebutton longpress.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] jhnjrdan:
Many force closes. Facebook, Titanium Backup and Stock Browser. The software rendering is still smooth, but it should be default on the official release, and if it could be tweaked to improve compatibility it would be nice. And battery drain even with stock kernel, and rebooting the phone to avoid Android OS issue. Getting back to Arconium 2.4. But the image quality seemed nicer on my screen, what is strange..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pergoteborg:

i'm on arconium 3.a now and so far everything works fine. Titanium backup and stock browser also work fine without FC issues. Remember to do full wipe before flashing !

edit : doomed, the only problem is that i have connection issue while downloading on google play. I keep getting connection error but browsing on stock browser or doing any other activity is fine ( no connection error whatsoever ). I'm on maxis data plan and i take it that you use digi ? do you face the same problem as me ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
I don't get connection issues but I do notice that it's a little bit slow though I'm not sure whether it's the phone or the network itself is slow.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] imkid5359:
One more thing, battery drains quite fast in 3.a .

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Aprentice_:
I am running this ROM and it's working fine. The most important thing for Xperia ICS ROMs is the lag in the dialer, no ROM till now was able to fix it and it's really annoying.

As for the Acronium ROM it's missing toggles within the notification bar instead of installing widgetsoid. Also the Xperia S UI will great.

Some times when I am during a phone call the proximity (?) sensor doesn't work properly and if the screen is off it can't get it to switch on, even by pressing any button of the device. So I can't end my call for example.

Hope you get what I mean.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ironlady:
The Galaxy S has the same problem with ICS. It's been reported before that the hardware is not sufficient to run ICS smoothly.

TBH IMO, Sony's interface looks much better than SGS or HTC Sense. Looks clean than that weird font Samsung has been using, and ugly weather clock HTC decided to stick with. PS HTC Sense 4 is a pain in the ass if you are ever going to navigate single handed.
