Does someone has an idea how exactly zdzihu "unthemed" the original beta? I'm willing to do this on the current one, but I'm a bit lost how to start.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zdzihu:
ICELite beta2

Hi guys,

I haven't fixed my back button issue yet, but found a nice software workaround that makes phone more-or-less usable.

Here's work-in-progress build of ICELite, based on official ICS release. Since it's not tested much and barely optimized, I still consider it beta release.

I've been short on time lately, so I mostly ported beta1 changes to official ICS, added 0% workaround to stock kernel (and some minor stuff). Hopefully I'll get some more spare time to optimize the rom / cut off more bloatware soon. So far, tested for 24h without any random reboots.

For better experience, set your animation scale to 0.5x/0.5x in dev settings!

kernel: boot-ICELite-beta2.img

ROM: ICELite_zdzihu_beta2.zip

Cheers,

z

[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
Great work as usual. Gave it a spin and noticed 2 issues straightaway:

MAC address is not the correct one. My flashable fix works perfectly with this ROM.

SQL write speed is awfully slow, something might be wrong. Noticed when restoring messages. My bad, around the same speed as official ICS.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] luctreebusch:
works with cm9 kernel?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Tenacious:
If you mean that they are both visible this is common bug on all ice release by Sony when aosp lock is ported probably related to fact that Sony uses sliding tabs on lock screen.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ArcMan09:
no.,.:D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] luctreebusch:

booting new kernel ---> U MAD :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] wallimo:
I love your ROM, can I ask if it's possible to add fxp function that let's track name and caller name appear on Bluetooth audio devices such as mw600 I know the fxp code is on github but I don't know if that functionality is there. Anyway if this could bee better integrated it would be so awesome.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hemo1001:
Thanks alot Z .

i have few questions ...

1- if i port miui to this will it become better than the official ? http://media.celogeek.com/roms/android/miui/2.4.20/miuiandroid_ArcS-2.4.20.zip

2- Is the camcorder (Video cam) working ? Edit : Working

hi all

plz send battery mod for this rom

[Xperia Arc Android Development] un1bomber:
WOW! great to see an update for this ROM!

quick noob question... I am using the original Icelite Beta1

with 4.0.3 and baseband 64

do I need to flash any new firmware/baseband? and how do I upgrade, just flash the new file w CWM? do I need to wipe everything to upgrade?

THX!!!!!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mamadbahal:
you must upgrade baseband 70 by flashtools for use this rom
[Xperia Arc Android Development] armadasaxon:
How come u no put the 0% battery patch in the 2nd kernel?..Now im getting mad :D..Please put the patch..pls pls.

Though I do not agree with name of Rom :-/

It should be FreeX10 ARC Edition or better FreeARC!!! ;)

P.S.: I hope it has the "U MAD?" bootlogo/bootanimation
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zdzihu:
Hi,

Thanks for the feedback :) I am trying to investigate the issues mentioned in thread.

- problems with Setup Wizard (changing language = FC etc): just go throught it ASAP and you will be fine. I'll try to replace it wil less problematic version.

- Wifi problems - to be honest I don't have any, but I'll try to use different modules and check link quality and such

- touch-to-focus misaligned - I am working on it, seems to be just an app issue.

Certainly :D

Cheers,

do i need to unlocked my bootloader for this one?

flash with CWM can do?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] nghiemdung:
Yes,u have unlocked bootloader to flash boot.img
[Xperia Arc Android Development] donghungx:
Thanks for great ROM, everything works, i just got FC for radio.

ps: I dont like the new screen when calling, i like the orgin made by google, red big end call button with full caller image, how can i change it ?, i can replace the phone.apk from CM9 ? :confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zdzihu:
It's just missing popup message that says to plug your headset. If you have it plugged, FM Radio works as expected.

It's not possible without extensive framework modding. I also prefer AOSP incall screen, but the current one is there for a reason. I'm still working on it, though.

Cheers,

[Xperia Arc Android Development] alfiemenace:
any baseband will do?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zdzihu:
It's not standard android feature therefore it's not here (unless you mean native 'move app to SD' which obviously works fine).

I'm always testing with the latest baseband available (64 in this case), but it may work just fine with another one.

Cheers,

Btw, can we have a kernel which supports overclocking? :D

Also, FM radio is not working, it gives FCs. Other things are working well! Thanks!

working well for me,since it is beta,dont expect to much mate,btw this rom was sooo damn great

from my ARC
[Xperia Arc Android Development] zdzihu:
Plug in headset to use FM Radio (I added info in OP).

We don't have kernel sources to compile a custom kernel with o/c.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] pushtostop:
Hi Zdzihu

Have you tested wifi direct to be working ,can't get it to connect to my wife's galaxy s2 which is completely stock.

Its a cool feature if we can get it goin.

Thanx

Pushtostop
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Lemonato:
Why do we need to have this kind of **** over and over?

1. Of course there will be oc available at some stage, if not someone will make a kernel that will be compatible with this ROM with overclock.

2. If you look a few posts up you will see that the dev has already answered the FM radio FC bug.

3. All good that you want to say thanks but that is what the thanks button is for.

Why make the devs wade through a million useless posts, this is the dev section, not Q&A. And yes i realise i'm adding one more post to this thread, but i hope it will deter others from asking stupid questions.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] RaZoR1179:
One question:

no deep-sleep battery drain present in this rom? tomorrow i've to work and i use it for waking me up. With the official ICS Beta i've tried for 2 days when i woke up i encountered turned off.

Thanks in advance
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jejeh:
Thank you guys for this.

Works great ,you deserve a big beer.

No issues with language or fc's .

U guys need not worry abt proper custom kernels...

Z is a master... And ofcourse the apprentice (me ;) ) is also onboard to create custom kernels...

I will try if the older ICS sources work (ICS alpha), if they dont then we will need to wait for some time for SE to release new sources...

Hi guys, sorry for the noob question but I can't see a solution for this (I know it's probably me being stupid!). Want to give this ROM a try as it looks great so just unlocked my bootloader. Now trying to push the boot.img to my phone using fastboot but it just hangs saying waiting for device?

I know fastboot works as I unlocked the bootloader with it + if I type fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version I get a response with the version 0.3.

So why does it hang on waiting for device when trying to push the boot.img?

Thanks for any help, can't wait to try this ROM.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] M1K3E:
@ DooMLord

I tried to boot from your custom kernel from ICS Alpha on the Beta it booted up to and got stuck on a black screen with battery icon in top right corner. Hopefully with a bit of tweaking u can get this working.

Can't wait to see what you can do with this.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kyraa:
Do you have the video on the device? YouTube 720p works fine btw - and yes, I know that YT 720p videos got quite a low bitrate.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] sinkster:
Is the led blue? Could be as simple as not being in fastboot mode.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] phuoa:
Hi Sinkster, assuming you are responding to me? Yep LED was blue. I've managed to push the boot.img to the phone using flashtool. Phone now boots into CWM when holding down the volume rocker so guess that's a good sign!

Just going to transfer the zip file onto SD card now so hopefully I've sorted it. fingers crossed! thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dinesh690:

Not a biggie but thought I'd report :) thank you for a great opportunity to try as vanilla ics as possible
[Xperia Arc Android Development] PAVNEET101:
can you please add a patch for arc s ?? cause setcpu just eats up ram and battery !

thanks
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hellocng:
In settings, go to developer options.

I find for UI there is negligible difference turning on force GPU rendering and I have to figure out the impact on battery life. Having animation scale at 0.5 just means lowering the quality. Higher scale will mean more frames to complete the animation. For smoother animation, I use 2x. It may appear slower but thats also because its displaying more frames. It looks better. The lower scale may seem quicker but I find the perception of lag is in the responsiveness of the device itself. The animation at any scale is smooth but it has a lag after input. This is most apparent with the Cosmo Flow live wallpaper from Xperia S.

Thank you so much Zdzihu! This is exactly what I was hoping for. This solve all the problems I had with the alpha (random reboot, old lockscreen, incomplete tron UI, and sms notifications not always working).

Im still trying to get used to AOSP apps as I was accustomed to SEMC ones. I dont know if I prefer the darker UI of SE apps more. SE apps do have some advantages in certain areas such as messaging app shows that my sms has been sent/received. I also prefer the music app and camera app from SE too but the camera app doesnt work.

There was no live wall paper picker in this build but it was easy to find and install.

Im using an LT15a on 850 with baseband 56 and the reception and battery life has been awesome so I dont want to risk changing to 64. I think people should evaluate their device performance first before trying different basebands.

After a few more days of tweaking and personalizing, Ill report back if I find any bugs but so far its perfect!

[Xperia Arc Android Development] zdzihu:
Facebook sync / accound add is a generic ICS issue - you need to google for available workarounds.

Also, here's the hotfix1:

- fixed FM Radio force close

- fixed pt_BR language causing constant force closes

- included new Wifi modules which may (or may not) fix some wifi related problems
