downgrade

..so as I mentioned, I downgraded to arconium 8.2, and the difference is so huge.

arconium 8.2 is so fast compared to ICS, no lags, and baterry - I love it.

I would say the ICS version is missing that efforts like GB had.

But I am looking for functional device, not to have the latest SW in. Therefore I made this change.

Here is comparison of battery drain after downgrade.

You can see the drain of battery in ICS case is bigger (mostly in sleep mode)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mohoram:
drain bateria

doomkerl kernel v5 test for ics, the download is less than lupus.

It is old and has no continuity but works ok
[Xperia Arc Android Development] malih16:
I don't know about GB+DoomKernel,

but Lupus V8 is battery draining for me, my battery with somewhat similar usage lasted less than 16 hours,

with KTG anzu 1.52 I can get almost 2 days, would be more than 2 days if I don't play game and turns Autosync off.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] darebak666:
I tried almost all kernels suitable for Arconium ICS. None of them was so fast and battery friendly as the GB state was. Therefore I downgraded.

I am not saying the ICS is bad, just not at the level of so great tuned arconium 8.2. But this is just my personal feedback.

Btw. I did not find any major advantage in switching from GB to ICS... simply nothing to be rated as "wow, what a change!" :rolleyes:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
I'm planning a 5.1 release soon.

Here's the changelog so far:

Included latest Adreno drivers.

Included notification LED fix.

Fix for Chinese fonts.

Slightly adjusted tweaks.

Updated 3rd party apps.

If there's anything missing or require fixing, please do tell me. I just don't feel like going through each post, page-by-page. ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mohoram:
arconium 3c (.431) baseband 72, test doomkernel v5 ics. battery drain in the night (.3%)......(.5%), with 2G activated:good::good:

arconium 5 (587) baseband 77, iqual kernel and similiar options in movil, drain baterry (.4%/h)....(6%/h), with 2G actovated:good:

Thanks mohoram
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Devoct:
maybe you could change the default launcher in the ROM.

stock one kinda laggy.

Xperia S or Xperia T(GX) one is smoother.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jader13254:
No! Stock one is wayy smoother ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
I'm not going to add stuff from other phones in this ROM.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kaatisu84:
That's the beauty of this rom, keep it bare and let users add what they want themselves. Perfect!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Devoct:
really? launcher from .587 is laggy.

oh i see, looking forward to 5.1 then!

good luck! :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sean.paul:
here are evry launcher that u want Xperia Arc Themes and Apps

xperia t laucher is nice

tanx starter good job ...downloading
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
Been running this ICS ROM for a few days now, so I'm really loving it.. It's smooth, fast, and I haven't had any crashes at all. :D

However, it doesn't seem to pick up the light sensor at all, so there's no option for auto brightness (and the option provided by JB SystemUI tools linked in my sig skips the 'auto' option). According to this white paper from SE (see page 7), the LT18i does indeed have a light sensor though. Has anybody perhaps managed to get it working?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] leo_nidas:

Language problem

your Rom really rocks dude,but I have a strange problem, Farsi language (and Arabic, Hebraic,...) doesn't work at all,did I accidently did something wrong or is it a bug?:confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Devoct:
I'm facing that too.

Korean and chinese fonts are gone also.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] mandarjoshiin:
Are we going to have a New version??
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nokiagye:
if you make new rebase it to 13 install small apps new system ui with small soft buttons smart setings new z lock screen supercharger zram

and my friend many twicks i cant find i ics rom without lags
[Xperia Arc Android Development] om22:
cant we have only one rom without graphical modding? just as stock ics this is just nice. Xperia z lockscreen takes also a significant amount of ram (15mb) which our device hasnt too much of it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jader13254:
AW: [ROM][ARC/ARC S] Arconium ICS 5.0 - "Woop!" [FW:587][1 Nov]

Simpicity is beautifull!

Zram & supercharger isn't needed, it will decrease performance & battery life.

Small apps, xperia z etc is that stuff which is causing the lag... its made for 1gb ram devices with dual core

You wan't all the great useless stuff, with great performance and battery. Impossible for that device.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] peng1970:
Will there any updates to this ROM?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Erica Law:
doomed! Welcome back! It's your old friend, LeParkour012. ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] antimage05:
after flashing keeps entering recovery and the ROM does not load. Please help!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jtdc:
hopefully this comes out and better than GB Arconium, which may save the laggy and bad reputation of ICS.

imagine what doomed151 can do for an Arconium Jellybean. damn.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] yurasik_687:
Problem solved for

Arabic, Hebrew, Farsi and other languages.

Thanks! It works for me!! :victory:

UPD: Have some lags on Market....not loading/updating apps, takes toooo long and nothing happened :confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ch3mn3y:
Trying to use this with LuPuS GB%ICS, but got stuck on kernel logo (tried few times).

Is there something else I need to flash or this Rom doesn't work with LuPuS kernel?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] timroth:
Backup new ics gallery with titanium backup. Then update v4. You can reinstall ics gallery back and delete semc gallery with titanium. Thats what i do. This scrolling cache improvement can be useful.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ghayath ameer:

it just dont downloading from market

with little bugs
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Silverstarjigar:
Someone port this rom for xperia play... there's no fully functional rom for that phone... plz someone do this...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] memtronic:
All ICS versions are so "memory hungry"?

I reverted to Arconium 7.2, being bugged by the slowness of constantly under 100MB RAM free -> LMK always has to work.

Is ICS for over 512MB RAM phones?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
No. Keep in mind it's a beta and they probably left debugging stuff inside. It's also probably not optimized enough yet.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ALIRAFAAT:

How's battery life?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krugm0f0:
Silly question, but what are buttons to press when booting to get into recovery? I get there every now and then, but not sure how I did it :p And now I just can't seem to get there -.- I'm on v3.

Update: Bought an app on Android Market Google Play.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] batwingnz:
Volume down button, just after the hardware button lights come on. Spam it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] joegrant:
this is pretty nice, but on v4 i am getting home redraws every time i open any program and go back to home screen

flashed kernel

full wipe

wiped caches

installed zip

manual reboot a couple of time since

very nice work though!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cyberdelia:
Not so good for me... but maybe for other reasons: I'm in another country, with no signal for the phone (but I'm with airplane mode all the time), and even so,. my battery drain too fast.. from 100% to 36% in 12 hours (without signal remember)...

Only wifi turn on because the error that with wifi off drain even faster...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] paulinodf:
I"m going back to arconium 7.2. REALLY. The battery drain is insane in almost all ICS custom roms (except in IceLite, but I don't like its style)... Let's wait.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
I've got a question for you guys about the upcoming release:

Which one do you prefer?

Stock music player.

ICS music player but with fully working DSP Manager port from CM9.

I ask this because making DSP Manager to work properly causes the stock music player to crash.

Here's a screenshot of the new DSP Manager:

The equalizer is now able to work with 16 Hz band too. Don't forget, those audio effects will also get applied to every sound coming out from any app so you can enjoy your movies etc. with audio effects applied. I tried it out and it sounds great.

I prefer the second option. Even though the stock player has an equalizer setting but it's very limited. Keep in mind, I haven't tried putting ICS music player in this ROM so I don't know whether it works or not.

So, what do you guys think?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dylanicb:
i've used both Advanced Stock Kernel and Stock beta kernel with this ROM, but no problem with the 3G, works fine with me! Try to reconfigure your APN setting
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
DSP!

PLEASE add DSP Manager! This would be awesome:-)

I just have another question:Is it possible that after closing an app that you've launched from the menu and press the "back" button you are at the same site in youre menu again? I hope you've understand everything:D

By the way AWESOME ROM!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] joegrant:
Managed to sort it

Settings>Developer Options>Background Process Limit -- i set it to 4 processes at most, and it seems to have helped. no more redraws
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
If I understand everything correctly, that issue sounds like the launcher being killed. I'll try to do something.

Thanks for the feedback about DSP Manager, I'll wait for a few more opinions before a final decision is made.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nexx67:
I like stock SE music player !

You could perhaps make an update zip file for each one ?

I think you could also remove some unusefull stuff like :

- accessory key dispatcher

- wallpapers

- POBox Touch

- Update Service

- Videos

- Sim toolkit

- device monitor ?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krugm0f0:
Ahh, thanks. I'll give it a try when I get home.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] krugm0f0:
And another thing. When I'm using the Arc without SIM I can't find my home wifi, with SIM it connects just fine. Wtf? Not in airplane mode, maybe give that a try.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
Yes this would be good
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
Oh wow, how come I didn't think of that? I'll just make a separate DSP Manager add-on.

Reasons why I didn't remove those stuff are edited in quote.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
Could you please take a look over that

make the display size a bit bigger so you can draw the widgets a bit more down

my music player always redraws the title picture maybe you can do sth against that. THX:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nexx67:
Thank you doomed I understand!

And I have to admit that I'm using your roms since a few month because they are close to stock, lightweight, powerfull and stable!

So I'll delete useless apps (for me) with titanium backup for example.

I'm wondering if your roms are 'supercharged' by default?

There are 3 remaining problems (for me):

- Battery life (bug in SE/ICS rom, hope that will be fixed through an upcoming doomkernel after SE release kernel source code?)

- Missing overclock/undervolt (same reason)

- Voice search give a FC on my arc...

- Facebook pictures are not shown in contact book
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
From what people said, it's 50% SuperCharged by default.

- Probably someone will fix it once Sony release the sources.

- You don't say?

- I'll look into it. No promises though.

- Weird, it shows up fine here. Have you synced it?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nexx67:
Okay, supercharging seems a bit difficult for me (is there a real performance boost ?)

I'll give a try...

FB sync was working fine for me with arconium 4.x to 7.x

But with ICS only some contacts have their picture, strange !

And thank you very much for your great work !
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cezarL:
You might have a bit of work to do there, porting the AOSP Music player.

I deleted SemcMusic.apk and put in the ICS Music.apk instead (I'm using LauncherPro and I wanted a Music widget)... everything went great until I turned off the screen, with music playing in the background.

The stock lockscreen music controls kick in and starts changing tracks every 2-3 seconds. It won't stop until you unlock the screen and open the music app, at which point, playback returns to normal. Very weird...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] coolgids:
i want to flash into this rom

now im using arconium 7.0

what will happen if i use titanium backup?

i afraid that my application not compatible to ics yet. .

do you guys had any problem with application compatibility?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nexx67:
Titanium backup is working fine

The only thing I noticed is that you should not integrate sys dalvik or apps to rom

A few other apps have some issues, for example startup manager from ES task manager won't work.

You should try this rom, my arc has never been so fast ! (more than 1000 points in vellamo without overclock !)

Feedback

Hi Doomed, i just want to say thanks for all the hard work from version to version on this rom,im using the V4 on a daily basis and no issues. Suprisingly i only lost 15% battery in like 15 hours which includes messing with the phn, taking a few pictured etc so im more dan happy so far:D

I think having add ons for the 2 players will be awsome so we can choose, also can you please do the same for the galleries? SO we can add on the ICS or Stock depends on what we prefer?

Other dan that the Rom is stable and fast, just my personal experience while playing with it for the last 24 hours.I will keep using this Rom and cant wait for a 100% working Doomkernel for it :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] LanceAmr:
Hmmm . What version of dsp manager works with this awesome Rom ? Hope u will release it :D ! Your Rom rocks !
[Xperia Arc Android Development] thienvk:

Some widgets not work when turn off : wifi, bt...etc
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mo786wp:
I just checked them all, every one works for me, Wifi, Bluetooth, Airoplane mode etc.

No probs here.

My arc has been online for 25 hours now and i still have 68% battery left so im still happy :-)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ChriZathens:
I have a small question:

At the first boot in one homescreen there were 3 widgets:

1. The music player

2. Photos and videos

3. Media shortcut (the one with the 3 icons -music,gallery,videos)

I accidentally deleted the last one and now when I try to insert it again it says that there is not enough room in that homescreen.

Besides deleting all data from Home (which will reset to default and obviously will again have the widgets correctly, but I will loose all folders and will need to create them again..) is there another thing I could do???

TIA

I love your ROM :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Jonster111:
Hey is this rom supercharged and if yes which advantages it has?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] HorvathTheWizard:
This Rom is beautiful, but... one question...

Did is possible to downgrade from Android 4.0.3 to Android 2.3.4 and .62 Firmware?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] kickerz14:
No you can't do that bcoz this rom is based from 4.0.3 although you can do that but it'll become heavily laggy.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
Of course. Just flash back a Gingerbread ROM and kernel or the .62 ftf itself.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] lastword112:
i want someone to upload the files that are needed to view the contact pages, infiniteview or whatever they are called.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] spida_singh:
doomed, not sure if this is ROM related, but starting here first,

I intermittently have my SD Card become 'Invisible' to the phone, i have to reboot the phone for it to be visible again. It's weird, you can access and view files from Root Explorer, but, when selecting to play music via the music player, or selecting a ring tone from your music library, it says no music can be found.

The same with my pictures, they are there, then after sometime, maybe a day or so, they dissappear, and all i can see are my online facebook albums.

Again, a reboot resolves this, not to sure if this is a Sony ICS related bug, or ROM specific.

Anyone else get this?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] AmitPeri:
I have the same problem, I thought its a problem with my SD card but if you have the same problem I guess its a Sony ICS related bug.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Crocodile1973:
Yeah same issue. Sudden no pictures available and music. Reboot sorts it. My memory serves me right, other ics Rom's do the same.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tamthanh:

May be finally ICS 4.0.3.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Alihosny:

I tested yesterday V4, but wifi not working. Alway renew the IP, and not connect but in other ROM working. Please fix this the next version. This rom is very smooth!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] matteh80:
Wifi works for everybody else so you must done something wrong?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cezarL:
Either the Arconium ICS ROM, or the ICS beta kernel changed my WiFi MAC address. I had to update my router's permission list, as I prefer using MAC-based access control instead of WPA / WEP security.

Maybe that's the case with your setup?

On the other hand, if you're using Doom Kernel, you'll need to flash its corresponding WiFi modules...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
Try leaving WiFi turned on.

It's probably because of the unfinished WiFi implementation, hence it is disabled in the beta. I'm guessing the the MAC address will return to what it used to when the ICS update finally rolls out.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tomatos:
Thank you for the help. At home checking the MAC Adress, I using on my router MAC-Based access control.

ICS Beta kernel using I on my phone with CWM 5.5.x.x!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cezarL:
OK then.. Check the new MAC address on your phone (Settings - About phone - Status - scroll down to 'WiFi MAC address'), then update your router's access list to include the new MAC.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
Update on v5.

I'm planning to release it after Sony releases ICS beta kernel sources and someone has made a custom kernel out of it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Terul:
I have had the opposite experience with battery! The battery life on this seems amazing.

Yesterday, I used it a moderate amount (my normal usage, not heavy or light), with GPS use, 3G on, background data sync on, WiFi off, BT off, Music playback, Texting, Screen on Max brightness, a short phone call etc.

After 13 hours I was at 75%

Please keep it up with the good work, I hope going back to Arconium when I get tired of AOSP.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] Terul:
Do you have Google Currents?

I found that sucked my battery with constant usage / keeping the phone awake. It would show up in Android OS as well, so it was hard for me to locate at first.
