[Xperia Arc Android Development] nostrike:
Is it possible what you could make just an upgrade from v2 to v3, so we dont have to flash a hole new rom and start all over with programs, tweaks, settings and so on.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] melocot:
I have the same problem as you. I borrowed your image.

I am using:

Arconium ICS v2 with the addons

Baseband 64

Advanced Stock

Modules of Advanced Stock

rooted with this

It's very strange because when I have wifi enabled and not connected to any wifi network and using my 3G plan data the battery drains more than when I have wifi disabled and I am using 3G too.

I'll try to update to Arconium v3 and I will see if it stills happens.

What is the correct sequence to flash the ROM correctly?

Please, I want the order of this steps:

Flash the kernel

Flash the modules kernel

Flash the main ROM

Wipe

Flash the add-on of the ROM
[Xperia Arc Android Development] estuardo4:
I've tried to do just that, for two times now. The first one I get stuck on the "Android is optimizing your applications" for 20 min. I pulled the battery ann reinstalled. Then I get stuck on the Xperia logo. I guess I will have to do a clean install.

What changed so much that made the system to refuse to install over V2?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Azev:
I have installed the V3 over the V2 without any Wipe and the phone works.

This order is correct, but the best kernel for this rom doesn't need any modules so use Stock ICS Kernel for this rom.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] estuardo4:
How much time did the "Android is updating your applications" screen appeared on your update? I spent 20 minutes and no change.

But I've reinstalled fresh and so far I haven't found a problem.

Anyway, thank you for your help.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] guille26:
I've been using official 4.0.4 and now I'm on 3.c

What are the differences? What does Arconium offer that official doesn't.

I know I can install other kernels...

Also, anyone knows a mod for 4.0.4 for status bar toggles with network mode (2G/3G)?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Saiger:
1. arconium is faster and has some other usefull tweaks ( changelog)

2. here some links http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1698728

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1664625

for more search in the themes and apps sektion
[Xperia Arc Android Development] guille26:
I didn't know it was faster, I haven't noticed it. I can't find the changelog for 3.c

Thanks for the links but I was looking for a mod with network mode switch.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bassie112:
Arconium is faster, has locked home, overclocking (with custom kernel), theme support (use this one for toggles/battery icon/network switch, I use Battery ICS Circle Mod v431 (Circle White Color) which works perfect and doesn't look cheesy). It may be required to resign the rom using Toggle2G to get working network toggles. I never tried it without resigning. With resigning it works great.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
Will Arconium 4.0 be supercharged?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bassie112:
I think it's already supercharged out of the box. At least home is pretty bulletproof and the rom is fast without lag. I wouldn't supercharge it again to be sure not to mess up things.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nasos95:
I suppose Arconium ICS 4.0 is coming out pretty soon, huh? :P ^_^ *_*
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
No, I don't want to. 4.0.4 is already faster compared to 4.0.3.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bassie112:
What are you talking about? Arconium ICS 3c is already 4.0.4... You don't miss anything in comparison to offical 431 (4.0.4), you even gain speed and usability. Arconium 4 would be even better somehow...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
I really need a SystemUI that is simple and has 2G/3G toggle. Anyone can recommend me??
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bassie112:
Why don't people read further than the last post...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
That question should be in the Q and A forum.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] X-Droidinary:
Here's 2 that work with 3.c. Hope this helps.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
So this has 2G/3G toggle??
[Xperia Arc Android Development] X-Droidinary:
The one with the battery circle does not sure about the other one.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Retrosid:

Anyone have a link to xperia s keyboard that works with this rom?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] FAdrums:
Well i've tried on a locked bootloader with baseband 72 and stock kernel and the battery life was really bad. It went 20% down in 5m. :( i was really looking forward to use this rom...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
Unlock ur bloody bootloader :D it's worth it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] taus90:
Yes! and i did the entire procedure twice but same result. Do i need a different kernel for 3.c when upgrading from 2.4. P.s. I have arc s
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Alihosny:
I installed 2.4 and noticed that music player volume in headset is too low, is this normal? I come from cm9 and sound volume in headset was very high compared to this one

ps:I use a high quality ultimate ears ear buds
[Xperia Arc Android Development] maliceomalice:
Does anyone can play mass effect using this rom? Or is it the problem regarding ics not supported? Coz my graphic is bad and sometimes it only show black screen...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] arpith.fbi:
eagerly waiting for arconium 4.0 :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] guille26:
I'm getting this exception.

Does anyone knows why and how to solve it?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
No u don't... But u must wipe all data, cache and dalvik cache. You cannot upgrade and save your apps.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
Just a heads up, Arconium MIUI 2.6.8 will be released prior to Arconium ICS 4.0 because MIUI for our phone has gotten so nice.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Lukas7746:
When will be available Arconium 4.0? Cause yesterday I installed Arconium 3c, everything goes perfect, but some widget can not add on homescreen, or show just their silhouette and PC Companion not recognize my LT18i. ROM is based on Stock ICS Kernel 4.1.B.0.431 with CWM 5.5.0.4 [Max CPU Freq fix] and baseband 70.

Or can someone recommend me a rom without any problem?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] FAdrums:
Any estimated release date for the mighty MIUI? :rolleyes:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
I'll try to release it this week.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kajendran:
hey...!!!

im still on stock gb...

To install this rom, do i have to flash official 4.0.4 .ftf first...

Or just install directly through recovery...????
[Xperia Arc Android Development] arpith.fbi:
u can flash directly..no need to flash 4.0.4 ftf first..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
It is recommended to flash the FTF first since the partitions changed in ICS.... Also you need to flash the Kernel of your liking :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
You can keep the stock kernel, too.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] N01tra:
And if you flash the 4.0.4 .ftf first, you'll have baseband .72 :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] FAdrums:
I've tried with that configuration (baseband 72 and stock kernel 4.0.4) and the battery life was pretty bad! :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] plopingo:
what kernel you are using ?

Stock with CWM (modules included) is outdated (4.1.A.0.562)

ArcKnight doesn't support .431

DooMKernel is outdated too (kernel from ics beta)

:/
[Xperia Arc Android Development] szymon247:
I think your issues might be hardware related, since you seem to get very poor battery life on all roms, kernels and basebands. Arconium MIUI gets amazing battery life, yet you suffer from battery issues on it too. What uses up the most of your battery? Can you post your battery stats?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kumbangdesa:
try use it for a couple days..usually it will getting better on battery life..remember to recalibrate the battery after flashing new ROM..

if it still draining maybe this ROM is not suitable with locked bootloader..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] killer86th:
Really? I went straight from official GB to Acronium ICS 2.2 before. Should I re-flash official 4.0.4 to get the partitions change? Does it affect much? This new info confuse me a little bit :confused:. And yeah, i flashed baseband 70/72, stock kernel with CWM, Doomkernel, ArcKnight seperatedly.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bassie112:
What I did, and I dont experience any wierd stuff:

-flash offical .70 firmware (GB)

-boot normally and see if baseband and firmware are correct

-flash doomlord ICS v5 kernel

-boot into recovery and do a factory reset and dalvic cache clean (under advanced)

-flash arconium beta

-factory reset

-flash doomlord ICS v5 modules

-boot normally and see if baseband and firmware are correct
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
You don't have to worry about flashing stock .ftf and stuff. As long as you have the right kernel and baseband, it will work.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ironlady:
Can anyone get playlist to work?

Playlist doesn't work on Arconium 3.c :(

When i try to save a song to playlist, it would either crash or return a "null has been added to playlist" but nothing is added to the playlist
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
Can't wait for the release :D

When is it going to be released!! :P
[Xperia Arc Android Development] arpith.fbi:
@Doomed151, dude which kernel would you recommend for your latest upcoming build(based on .431)?i see no kernel is fully functional or they are outdated with the latest firmware..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hachiueno:
I don't mean to answer for him, but in the meantime, I can recommend this kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1653655

XArc 2.0 supports FW .431
[Xperia Arc Android Development] arpith.fbi:
your experience? battery life + performance? i heard arcKinght is also working but some people are getting many problems..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
I'll go with doomkernel. It runs smooth and fast. Battery life is okay.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] catapult1234:
Hi doomed,

You advice stock kernel with cwm (.562).

Is it ok to flash stock kernel from .431 with cwm (since thats the firmware base of your rom) -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1680793

Or is it better anyways to use the .562 kernel?

Cheers
[Xperia Arc Android Development] merlin667:
I tried allready with Doomkernel, ArcKnight and the 562 stock with CWM.

I get best battery lifetime with the modified stock one (2,5d with light usage but full synchronisation). all others are about 1-1,5d with same usage.

but according the thread of the xarc kernel battery lifetime is fine as well.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tompec:
Merlin could you placed link of modified stock kernel please ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] thuanngotau:
Is this what you want? http://www.mediafire.com/?euaaaooqf8fw4rn

I'm using it too. Great battery life!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tompec:
Thnx, do I need any modules to flash (wifi, radio) ???

[Xperia Arc Android Development] nexx67:
Working fine for me, but this is stock so no O/C, governor/scheduler change, undervolting/...

On my device (with this kernel), it never goes over 806Mhz, don't know why.

Battery life is very good (with BB72 too)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] plopingo:
tested by myself and not working :(

If anyone have a similar script working ... :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
I'm so excited! With arconium 4.0 together with my new 16Gb sdcard designed for Android, it would be perfect!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sebek_d:
Not bad battery...wifi turned on since this morning, Bluetooth for about 40 min. Morning news browsing, some facebook brwosing also and I lost 20% since the phone has been unplugged from the charger (5 hours ago). The most important thing - I didn't notice clock freezes on widgets with this kernel. Finally I don't have to reboot my phone if the widget clock suddenly stops.

How can I add widgets to the screen? It gives me an error to install a widget preview picker.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] h.debnath:
because they haven't implemented the latest kernel sources yet

[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
Yes. Yes we can. To add widgets tap and hold the screen.

I successfully removed Xperia Home.apk and replaced it with Apex Launcher. Working fine!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] LiquidRobotics:
and again excellent work doomed, running with ArcKnight 2.2 and Baseband 72....it runs like Hell...awesome fast and smooth :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
That's good, but I want to use the stock launcher shipped with the ROM and I can't add widgets. Perhaps I've to wait for doomed151. I experienced this behavior with MooDeD ICS, too.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] :
No you can. Just do what I told you to do. About me using Apex is another topic.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Tarzan-:
Make sure you select Sony stock widgets in Aroma installer while flashing rom.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
I did, but I've no luck ("You've to install widget picker") . Strange, perhaps it's my phone. :( Is it caused by an unlocked bootloader?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Tarzan-:
I'm not an advanced user but I guess that could be the reason. On another note, I have used Moded rom before with stock launcher and never encountered this problem.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ChaosFirZen:
No its not the reasonngo go to my thread someone told me how this prolem to get fix..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] arpith.fbi:
Whoever is having problem adding widget.download the attachment and use root explorer and move it to system/app and set it's permissions to rw-r--r--
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
Can you explain why this error occure?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ChaosFirZen:
For my theory its the Cache and by default all system apps have their own Permission.. So Cache.. Or Data can ocCur this problem
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Daniel D.:
It works! Nice one, but why is this file missing in the ROMs?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ChaosFirZen:
For my ROM it have but maybe error occur when the file copying via AROMA this can be considere A bug on Somephones im adding the widget picker at both /data and /system/app next update

And Try to put all widgets back :)
