Hi! :)

I would like to ask, is this normal?

What should I do for better battery life?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Tomcar:
I solved this problem by changing the Email/Exchange apps with these (delete data form these two first)

I don´t know if this will solve

your

battery drain, because the "AndroidOS" problem seems to be variable.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bukest:
Thx!

I will try this. :)

It seems Chrome Beta doesn't work as the app doesn't recognize this ROM as genuine ICS. Dunno why, but it's sad. :/
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kormatoes:
Yes it works
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:
Heres a patched version of chrome beta, it should work on even non ICS roms and especially this ICS as it skips the build.prop check

accelerometer a wrong direction when playing asphalt 6.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Istvan_86:
Hello, first thanks for your job. All seems to be ok and working fine, but I have an Arc (LT15) and my phone displays that it is an Arc S (LT18). Is this bad?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
Nope, it's just an identification problem that lies in build.prop.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] daashali:
Great Job. Thanks for making it easy to use ICS on our phones.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] adrianom:
This is happening to me too, must be something wrong with the driver of the accelerometer in the new kernel.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ShyamSasi:
I have asphalt 5 it works fine for me. If it was accelerometer then it should happen in asphalt 5 as well.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] djdevine2:
Is is just me or is the camera picture quality much worse than it was on Gingerbread? The app is pretty bad in comparison too although that is of no fault of you. ROM seems stable and everything seems to work, keep it up!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kaatisu84:
is it possible to get v6 supercharger working on this rom?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] lamducthien:
Well on ICS beta official, v6 worked well, I hope the same in arconium
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
Yes, it works but you might need to to execute the scripts on boot manually (or ask Script Manager to do it). They usually sit in /data/ or /system/etc/init.d/.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] alfiemenace:
is it good for everyday use? like i mean is it comparable to arconium 7.1? :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] wallimo:
Using it, really like it. Much better looking than GB. I'd prefer the stock lock screen and contacts and dial pdf and messaging app

Is that possible?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] wayne850:
You can not compare it to Arconium 7.1 cause this is still a beta Rom and 7.1 is imo a perfect develloped rom .

So for me the ics Version is running very stable and i will use it every day.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tobassam:
Cannot download from market on LT15i

Using LT15i, I cannot download anything from the market, not even what I had previously purchased. Tried rebooting many times, can someone help?:confused:

Other than that, I'm really happy with it and everything not only works but is clearly much faster than GB.

BIG Thanks.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ze0:
can anyone help ? the on screen buttons which worked on previous beta(the oldest ics beta released by SONY ERIC) are not working on this beta :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sinkster:
Check date & time are correct re the market issue. Left the phone unplugged overnight with juice defender on, absolutely no battery drain.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] davibs:
Sorry, what about full hardware acceleration? :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] HellRoot:
Maybe it is just me but all ics roms are laggy and bad performing and annoying with all the " are you sure? Yes yes yes yes"

GB works and performs good compared
[Xperia Arc Android Development] macmeier:
Would you tell me, which statusbar you've installed ? Because no one seems to work with me, though I've tried some.

Even if I start ROM-Manager, there's a point to restart the statusbar. The app tells me, that a restart has failed. So I think, there's something missing...

And another thing: if I press the home-button for longer, the multitasking-panel doesn't appear, in which I can close and recall apps.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
Official ICS update started rollout. Hope someone can upload the ftf soon.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:

doomed151 @

I´ve your Arconium ICS v7 [4.1.A.0.562] on my Arc S, and everything works great (except that it drains much battery when 3G/data is on) So is there any reason to upgrade to S/E Official 4.1.A.0.562?

Are there major differences?

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Retrosid:
Did you rebase the Rom with the official update or it's still re-based with the leaked Chinese crap? I'll flash your Rom by Monday since now I'm on vacations and I'm not planning to have any issues and stay with a bricked phone till my way home. Also, what's the battery life? On firebird ics Rom I have huge battery drains after I use the camera cause of the flashlight, yet again its a great Rom but I want to change it
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
Based on Chinese crap. One based on official will come soon.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tw1tterik:
A small request...

Could you please add notification toggles, really miss them.. And can you make the homescreen dots Xperia S style? For me it would be the finishing touch..

Keep up the good work Doomed...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
Sorry, but I'm saying no to both. You'll still be able to use modded framework made by themers. I'm trying to keep it as close to stock as possible (as in people could not tell whether it's modded or stock).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jtc42:
From what I've gathered, the final ICS update requires changes in partition sizes. Will this happen with the Arcronium update, and what advantages would it have if it were implemented? Thanks :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] soumya_digi:
Baseband 70 is introduced with the official firmware (don't know abt the leaked).. Hope the new baseband will improved battery life when on 3G/data.. :rolleyes:

You'll need to flash the FTF for partition size change and new baseband. Arconium update script only clears and copy files to the system and userdata partition.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] a4rocks:
@doomed151,

Anything else not required. Only status bar notification toggles would be the icing on the cake. Seriously, since I have it in your Arconium GB, I cannot stop using it at all and is probably the best thing I could have in a custom ROM
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
Flashing the full ftf is not required. Just make sure you have flashed one of the kernels listed and the baseband. Everything fits fine with the previous partition layout.

Then wait for someone else to make it. ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] lofty5:
am having a problem with version 7 with calls. When making or recieving a call after so long the people on the end of the conversation cant hear each other and one has to redial. Then the same thing happens again.

So far I haven't found any serious bugs. If you do find any, post them here.

Also, performance is very nice.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] honglong:
small request.

I have an Arc (LT15i) is there any file I can flash after installing Arconium ICS 1.0 to show LT15i instead of LT18i everywhere?

thanks :) love your work
[Xperia Arc Android Development] everb00b:
thank you doomed,

are you planing to put a more ICS look instead of the sony-ics theme?

battery % and toggle bar will be included or seprate addons?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] davibs:

I'm Italian, will it work?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DemonicHawk:
Great work doomed! Would you mind giving a brief description of what the "Tweaks" are?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
I will make a patch later.

I'm sure it will.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] FerGT:
THANKS!!!!! I was waiting for this ROM, but one question, Is ICS fast as Gingerbread???
[Xperia Arc Android Development] rec71:
A complete list of tweaks would be worth reading. :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Velcis Ribeiro:
Hey, which is the best Kernel for it?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jimbo77:
Why don't you give q try to my Kernel I'd love some feedback on it. It's on my signature and the name is Arc-Night Kernel...

I'm using it with the official ICS and it's pretty smoth...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ArmorD:
Yeah. It's based on the Sony's final official ICS, not a beta anymore.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] calage1234:
Thanks Doomed151 waiting for it all the morning.

I gonna try your kernel, if i find any problems i report, thanks @jimbo77.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ArmorD:
Someone already made a thread. Those are pretty effective indeed. Just make sure to follow the guideline carefully.

Might be a noobish question, but will tweaks that are made for ICS beta, work on this? I believe they will, but just wanna make sure, so I don't cause a bootloop... again :D

[Doing AnTuTu bench. Will tell the results soon ->] 3463
[Xperia Arc Android Development] davibs:
I have just to use Flashtool for the baseband?

There is a tutorial?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
Here's most of them:

Changed SD read-ahead size (256 kb). Larger values can cause lags.

Remounting partitions with noatime and nodiratime.

Deletes tombstones on boot.

Disabled journalism.

Network stack.

VM management.

Minfree values.

Zipalign all .apks on boot.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ArmorD:
Click!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] FerGT:
YES, just flash the baseband .ftf file through flashtool and that is all

[Xperia Arc Android Development] maodevil:
doomed151 which kernel do you recommend?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tb205gti:
This is working really well. Flashed baseband 70 and the new 1.0 rom - so far all happy.

..Allthough I do have one annoying issue. When I connect it to my computer windows do tell me that a storage device has been connected and I do get my J:\ drive - but I cannot browse it at all. This happens on multiple computers. Any clues as to why it does this? It has done it on v0.7 and now on 1.0.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] caqo71:
Do I have to Use Baseband 70 for this rom?. With BB 70 my sim card doesn't work.

Is there some libraries for BB 70, or they are inside the rom?

I cannot get thi SIM card working.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] shahzaib.khan:
why the touch responsee is reallyy sucksss in ICS :S????.....

[Xperia Arc Android Development] mchj:
WOKS FINE, but .. its = da stock rom XDD
[Xperia Arc Android Development] caqo71:
So, is anyone else with this problem??, I'm feeling quite alone about this problem.

Now I flashed baseband 64 with this rom and sim card works partially, signal is working, but the phone still says that there is no sim card :confused::confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] enrique71:
Just to be clear - This ROM is based on the NEW released Nordic ICS firmware, or the Leaked Chinese version ?

Thanks!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DemonicHawk:
It's the new firmware.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] calage1234:
The Arconium 1.0 is faster than 0.7 ICS Beta, but still has lags on the scrolling and the camera cam. I don't know if the ICS is really faster than GB how some people say, let's wait and see the work from doomed151.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] timroth:
I think we must admit that. Arc is a laggy device thats all. If you close all programs running in background, disable sync functions, use a custom kernel with overclock etc, it is really better. But if you are an heavy user this device is not good.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] calage1234:
Yeah i think as much as we try to "slim down" the rom our Arc will never has the performance we get on GB without Overclock and close the apps on background :( It's a pity we have a 512 mb of ram and Sony Already said we cannot get that performance.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] migueln:
Definetly laggier than GB. If a solution isn't found, I'll have to seriously consider going back. The whole experience with ICS is somewhat frustrating because the phone is constantly unresponsive and even stalls a few seconds in some situations. For instance, when opening the recent apps window, I'm never sure if I pressed the home button long enough, then finally, after a second or two, it appears.

Fixed it. For some reason the CPU was running at 1Ghz (probably Night Kernel related). Now I'm using set CPU until it's solved and everything is running ok, smooth and stable (except for the camera issues identified as Night Kernel related).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Azev:
Nice job as usual.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] h.debnath:
Honestly there's nothing wrong with arconium, it's soo much better than GB. I guess ppl don't know how to utilize there devices prprly.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ghekua:
Run smoothly on my Arc S. If can please add status bar and reboot option in power menu.

Tks bro Doomed151
[Xperia Arc Android Development] calage1234:
:eek: How ?? Sometimes it's really annoying, you need your phone to make a call and the phone just show "Phone" for a long time and then you can make a call.

I already overclocked downclocked, i tryed even voodoo ( :D ) but i cannot get the performance of GB. Oh when i overclock and the music start cutting.

I know i exaggerate.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] soumya_digi:
Doomed151 will keep it as stock firmware without any mods.

Anyways, you may try this or this..
[Xperia Arc Android Development] calage1234:
Hey i forget, what kernel do you are using, Doom ? or the newest "Night" like me ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mo786wp:
Hey Doomed, I see on the first post the ROM and Baseband 70 is there but do we need the LIBS 70 aswell to correspond with the Baseband 70?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dejson:
Well, the doom kernel with official release was stable and fast, but now with night kernel and arconium it is slow. Is it ok to flash doom kernel over this one ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cezarL:
It's OK, just make sure you flash Doom's WiFi module, too.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Overdose1986:
Im using your rom on my arc s with night kernel and is super fast, great work but pls help me fix that calls issue(fixed)!

But I cant take pictures and video recording quality is bad
[Xperia Arc Android Development] caqo71:
I miss those LIBS too.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dejson:
I can't understand why you have so fast Rom with same setup like me, arconium with night kernel, mine is extremely slooooow. I will flash doom kernel to see what is going on.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cezarL:
The -70 libs come with the ROM, since it's based on the official ICS release (which brings the new baseband).

You'd need additional files only if you downgraded to an older baseband.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] caqo71:
that's right, but I downgraded to baseband 64 due to my SIM card not working with BB 70, and now I can't do test without BB 70 LIBS.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] joecool1029:
Can we get timescape seperated out again into a second flashable package?

Also facebook bloat and FB store junk should be taken out.

Rom looks good so far, looking forward to seeing if it'll chug through battery like 3G on ICSBeta did. Good thing Sony did not decide to remove the native SIP client or they would have lost a customer. I did notice they removed the WiFI Direct (pointless with full wifi tethering) and full device encryption (cool, but my understanding is it makes it hard to upgrade rom).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cezarL:
Wait...

So, you're on BB-64 now? Then flash the corresponding libs from this thread.

If you went to -64 then back to -70, and want the BB-70 libs again, then... either flash the ROM again, or the attached .zip file (contains BB-70 lib files only) :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] caqo71:
I already flashed 64 libs. WOW, if you make 70 bb libs, it would be great .

My phone is Lt15a, so, i think that bb 70 from nordic rom.isn't compatible.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Overdose1986:
Anyone is having problems with the camera? I cant take pictures... Is because night kernel?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] soumya_digi:
What happened to Wi Fi direct? It's not showing up in settings! :(
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cezarL:
See my previous post, I updated it with the libs. I haven't tested the zip myself, but you shouldn't have any problems.

Um, WiFi direct is kinda pointless, when you have full WiFi tethering available.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mo786wp:
Thanks dude, LIBS 70 is what i was lookign for =)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] joecool1029:
Lt15a here, no issues with bb70. What's your carrier? I have AT&T and will be testing Rogers again in a couple weeks.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] caqo71:
Many thanks cezarL. :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] macmeier:
No problems with BB70 on my LT15i in Germany so far... this ROM seems to work pretty good.

Wifi seems to be faster, but I got to take a nearer look at it to proof this.

Thank you for that.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] bern4d1:
yes it's because night kernel.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] soumya_digi:
I don't think so. http://www.wi-fi.org/discover-and-learn/wi-fi-direct™

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Tomcar:
First one is working after reflashing the ROM. Seems to be that the quick panel prog is not working very well. First time i had no statusbar at all but could set up the panel, so i flashed the Rom again (no wipe, without quick panel) with the result that the Power Statusbar is there with the settings I made. Hope this will help.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] ArmorD:
Sigh. This rom is running very slow on my phone... Almost every single app force closes. I did a factory reset before flashing...

Do you recommend DooMKernel?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Flo95:
My Arc rebooted 3 times today.

Do you guys experience the same?

I'm using DooMKernel with this ROM
[Xperia Arc Android Development] joecool1029:
Dude, you're gonna have to be a little more specific. What kernel are you using on the phone right now? What make/model router are you having trouble with? What security settings are used on the router (WEP/WPA/WPA2/WPA-Enterprise/etc)?

Almost every single app? Can you give some examples? I've had some slowdown but if almost every single app is force closing (after a factory reset) it's obviously your phone is broken or you can't follow directions.

I do not recommend DooMKernel for this release until it gets rebased on the current kernel sources. We don't know how much Sony changed in the new kernel, so while the last DooMKernel may work, it may not be optimal.

No, but mine did seem to go into full load and was unresponsive. Drained over half a battery in only an hour or so. It's never done that before on any ROM. Otherwise it seems pretty fine so far. Will update if it does it again.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] phuoa:
Anyone getting a crash when enabling wifi internet tethering? Using arc night kernel. After clicking portable hotspot about a minute late phone reboots? Any pointers would be great.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] darebak666:
compared to arconium 8.1 this ICS is pretty slow and laggy. I am not able to find way how to disable animations. Maybe that would help in performance. :rolleyes:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] joecool1029:
Refer to my last comment. Don't use the custom kernels with the new release until they get rebased on the new sources. It's probably going to be like 2 weeks or so until Sony releases the source. Use stock kernel unless you absolutely must have overclocking or something like cifs support.

We know the camera doesn't work right with night and now tethering. Post problems on those kernels IN THEIR RESPECTIVE KERNEL THREADS. (the devs will likely tell you they need to wait for the new source to be released, but it's worth a shot if you need it fixed)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Streykatorato:
