I'm running MSC on Windows 7. It works well. You cannot disconnect your SDCard without MSC mode. Have you even tried MSC mode on your PC? It works fine with my sister's Windows XP netbook. MSC should work on Windows. I tried installing CM9 from FXP and JJ's ICS Roms and it both works on MSC. Plus Arconium 2.2 has a SDCard readahead update. So maybe that is causing the problem. I mean most people don't have this problem.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] X-Droidinary:
I tried and the same thing happens. 'SD card connected'.

Question: If the sd card connects to my pc with an ICS based ROM, why doesn't it do this when I revert back to stock GB .62?

This is what we need to figure out and I'm only too happy to help solve it by trying ANYTHING to fix it.

If someone still has a copy of 2.1 please post it cos I deleted mine. I want to see if the problem persists when I revert to 2.1 and if it does then something is wrong with my phone.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
Try this. Once you get into MSC mode, connect your phone then wait till SDCard connects. Then slide the status bar down and tap to disconnect the SDCard.

So? Seriously what is the main problem you are trying to tell me.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] X-Droidinary:
I can't use adb shell while the sd card is connected. The sd card wasn't connecting with Arconium 2.1 so why is it doing it now? Could something have corrupted a file or something else like that?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] LiquidRobotics:
I gonna upload my 2.1 for you, i´ll post the link when its done.

Please note, i have removed some apps like Facebook, YouTube etc., if you want them you have to download from Play-Store, hope that is ok.

Is there a way i can unmount my sd card through my pc? And is usb storage meant to be unmounted? I'm only asking cos I unmounted my sd card with CWM and tried to mount usb storage and it wouldn't let me. All it said at the top of the screen was: Leaving this menu unmount your sd card from your pc.

So how would I do this? Also installing 2.1a didn't help so I must have done something to cause this to happen.

I'm thinking this ROM is the best ICS ROM so far..this is what i did to make it more better..

1. changing the stock status bar using this :

4. doing this tricks to make it faster and smooth :

setting > developer option > window annimation scale > annimation off

setting > developer option > transition annimation scale > annimation off

5. remove some apk for saving memory and RAM (like many stock widget, etc..)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
I just have to tell you that no, I don't think you can unmount SDCard through pc. Although there is still ejecting. When you mount the SDCard through CWM, it would automatically mount it. When you leave the screen it would unmount it. Is that what you are asking?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] X-Droidinary:
It's ok this is too confusing to explain so I'm just gonna forget about it and leave things as they are. And no I wasn't asking that. Thanks anyway for trying to help me but this isn't going to be resolved and I've got toi much on my mind to worry about what my phone should be doing.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] sebek_d:
I wonder if someone can confirm that. Digital Clock Widget time is late from time to time (system clock on the status bar shows correct time when widget is delayed), I´ve noticed that is being desynchronized with the system clock every time when wifi is on and every time when phone is plugged into the charger. It happens both on stock and Arc Knight kernels. I did clean installation including sd card format.

It´s kind of frustrating.

Any idea?

That is what is set to. I never touched that option. System clock is fine, it's on screen widgets that should display time, it eventually stops to display correct time while the status bar time is fine.

This happens to me when I do a fresh install. When I look at the settings the default time zone is set to +00:00 which it actually 10 hours behind my time zone. If I flash back to stock GB it syncs no problems.

Step 1: Flash a kernel

To do this you must have a fastboot folder and a things needed in it. You can easily search for the download on Google. Once you open the file you will see things like fastboot.exe or something like that. Put in the kernel you download and rename it to boot.img. Next hold shift and right click the background of the fastboot folder. Select open command prompt here. Now connect your phone in fastboot mode (hold menu key while connecting your phone that is off to your computer). Now in the command prompt, type "fastboot flash boot boot.img". Then "fastboot reboot". Disconnect.

2. Flash the Rom. Now go download the Rom and put it on your desktop. Go in CWM mode (keep tapping on the back key when Sony logo comes on) and then mount and select mount SDCard. Connect phone to computer. Put the Rom file into the SDCard. Unmount. Go back and wipe all data, then wipe cache then in advance wipe dalvik cache. Then install the Rom. Just select the Rom on your phone. Next in Aroma installer, just select custom installation. Choose phone model and continue. Leave out the advance option and flash. Reboot and there you go.

Nice Rom,

AROMA Installer is also cool feature,

but the rom itself is as laggy/slow as the stock 4.1.A.0.562 NCB Generic,

Also GPU rendering is not that good as it was in GB,

But that's because of ICS......

I am looking forward to the developments of this rom ;)

I'm loving this ROM. Best one I've tried so far. This + No-Frills CPU Control + IncrediControl = Great battery life + top notch performance!!

I've been using 3G, WiFi and been in low-signal areas for the entire day, and yet 48% remaining battery!:

(Gap due to switching off the phone for a moment of peace with the girlfriend)

However, I am experiencing a couple bugs:

- Every time I make a call, the Speaker mode comes on and I have to switch it off so I can listen thru the phones earpiece.

- Every time I enable GPS, the phone asks me "this will enable google to use location blah blah blah" like it was the first time.

And something else I can't quite remember. Has anybody else experienced these bugs before?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Shark107:
Quick question guys.

I just bought an Arc S, and while it is pretty awesome I feel the stock rom a bit laggy, compared to what it could be. So I'd love to try this rom, with DoomKernel or some other kernel.

The question is : would I be able to return to stock ROM if I wanted to, and how?

I had another android before, and while switching here and there I found myself having to face boot loops and what not. What if I get another crappy situation? I read everywhere but I couldn't find a solution for boot loops or other problems, does it mean I shouldn't have them or..?

Thanks in advance, I'm a bit scared 'cos I just bought this baby and I remember the PANIC when my old phone went boot loop xD
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kumbangdesa:
Firstly you must have unlocked bootloader..

After that flash kernel that suitable with this ROM using Flashtool..

Than you can flash this ROM using CWM recovery..

If you want to switch back to stock ROM, find the stock ROM file at general thread (ftf file), download it and put inside firmware folder in flashtool..

Flash the stock ROM using Flashtool..:)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] X-Droidinary:
Doomed,

First of all I'd like to say that I owe you a huge apology for doubting your ROM. I wasn't trying to offend anyone. It was my own fault that I had "big lag issues" cos I had the clock speed turned up way too high. I figured this out by seeing someone's post and the clock speed they used. So I decided to try it out. At the time I was using a different ROM and when I applied the changes I immediately saw how awesome an Android device can be when using the right settings and not going overboard like I did. Good example of "noobness".

Earlier today I thought I'd do a bit of playing around and did a recovery back to Arconium. I adjusted the clock speed right down to 921MHz and did a slight undervolt making sure not to go too far as I previously did. Sure enough everything is now working better than it did since I first installed the ROM.

A big THANK YOU for sharing your hard work and efforts to make the Android world a better place for everyone.

Now a question.

I downloaded a zip a few days ago containing GPU drivers both marked old and new. Not sure if I really need them but was just wondering....

Which one is for my phone and what does it do?

I'm only asking this to learn as much as possible about Android and my phone and smartphones in general so if something is to go wrong with it I can fix it myself and avoid huge repair costs as well as just being very interested in all aspects of the Android OS or to put it a different way: I'm just addicted to new technology and how it all works and have been for most of my life which is probably the same for everyone on this site.

Suggestion/Question:

Is it possible to add sounds for home screens?

For example: When I swipe the screen to change to another home screen I wouldn't mind if it made a sound like the turning of a page in a book or a sound similiar to the one one the Xbox 360 when you slide between different options on the main screen.

I'll post more suggestions, requests or questions as I think of them.
