i'm trying varios kernel to see what happen^^
[Xperia Arc Android Development] tsangwc:
Some bugs with the music player. When some notifications came like FB, Skype and Gmail, the music will stutter and sometimes it will stop and give out an error message of the music being stopped. This also happen when I use the music control in the locked screen. When I change track, the image and song name stays but it plays the next song. After finishing the next song, the player stopped and give that error message again.

I also missed the SE media server too.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vitaminme:
now its working after flashing baseband 64 :D
[Xperia Arc Android Development] dugzino:
Awesome work there man!

BTW are the status bar icons for WiFi and Data/GSM kinda bugged?

The arrows showing internet DL/UL are not where they're supposed to be (like in SEMC ICS Beta) or are they?

Will you be adding some tweaks like Reboot & Screenshot button on "Power Off" panel?

PS: Sorry, didn't find any screenshots or any decent screenshot app on market. :X
[Xperia Arc Android Development] doomed151:
It seems that these new modules fixed my problem with WiFi. Excellent job!

Another thing to point out, when playing a video using a third party video player (in this case, MX Video Player), if you tap the screen two bars are supposed to appear (top and bottom) but somehow the UI is terribly laggy that the top bar won't come out unless you tap it again to hide the UI, then it appeared for a split second right after the bottom bar disappeared. I haven't tried this yet with hotfix2, just hotfix1. Also, this issue doesn't exist in both stock ICS beta and my arconium ICS v1.

Thanks in advance.

If it's not switched on your router then its not the problem, that was definitely what my problem was though. Would be interesting to know if everyone else's mac ends with the 3e.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Petter88:
Hotfix2 concerns more then just the clock
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
It seems there is a bug in ICS 4.0.3 that makes notifications from 3rd party applications appear with an ugly gray background.

Does this seem familiar to anyone?

Happens with almost all applications like WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, etc etc.

The reason is a few lines of code in framework.jar:

If TargetSdkVersion is lower than Build.VERSION_CODES.GINGERBREAD(APILevel9), set R.drawable.notification_row_legacy_bg!!

It was annoying me as hell :mad: so I went ahead and came up with a workaround.

I changed those two files in SystemUI.apk: res\drawable\notification_row_legacy_bg.xml and res\values\drawables.xml, in order to make legacy background exactly the same as the default ICS background.

Now everything looks as it should:

:)

I have modified the SystemUI.apk from hotfix2,

but I don't know if Z would want me to post it here, as it's his work after all,

so I will just post the files I modified and Z can implement them in a future hotfix. ;)

Get them HERE.

Thanks!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cooper104:
I believe the System UI stopping is due to the GPS (I've only seen it happen when an application kicks off GPS location, like maps, cardio trainer, facebook etc.. )

This is the logcat and could be the GPS Icon? :

[Xperia Arc Android Development] zdzihu:
Thanks, I was able to reproduce this issue and should be able to fix that in hotfix3 :)

Hi, I'd love to use the fix, but I'm afraid apktool messes up SystemUI.apk big time = random problems like pt_BR language or GPS causing FC.

Could you check if you're able to use any nav software (gmaps might be enough) with your modded SystemUI?

Cheers,

z
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
Yes, you are right, GPS animation makes SystemUI Force Close.

I may be able to fix that too, I have an idea and I'll look into it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] hellocng:
Im having no problems with the original release without hot fixes. Im afraid that the hot fixes will reveal more bugs and problem than there were. My advice for others is unless you have a specific problem that only the hot fixes can address, dont fix whats not broken.

Like Ive said earlier, even with 56 baseband, my reception and battery life is better than when I had GB and ICS alpha. I also have no problems with the end call button. GPS is also working but without compass.

App related issues such as live wallpaper picker should be addressed separately with apks. This will at least sandbox issues that arises.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jjdoctor:
zdzidu.. Please do something for Xperia Ray.. :o...Its running very smooth on it, just give me a hint which files are related to digitizer fix... Its showing a mouse which I have to drag to touch a place...

[Xperia Arc Android Development] rmayrink:
Is there a memory leak in ICS? After the boot I have more than 100MB of free RAM. After some time of use (calls, SMS, Facebook) the free RAM drops to 30MB and I can not run games like Angry Birds Seasons, Let's Golf 3 HD, BackStab. They close after a few seconds (opening or playing) and return to Home, and the Launcher redraw many times. The battery life is better that latest GB (42, 56, 62) firmwares, but not better then .283 firmware (the best in my opinion). The UI is great, but the ICS eats lots of memory.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Kyraa:
I lost about 20 % in 2 hours with 20 minutes of playing music and maybe 30 min surfing and downloading one app. Usually when I get to work my phone's got about 98% battery left, today I had only 93% with the usual music+surfing in the bus. About 90 minutes later I was on 78%. I read your guide and BetterBatteryStats didn't show anything unusual. Except the dormant process which kept my phone waking up more than 20000 times from about 8:30 to now, which results in a total awake time of more than three ours. The battery was draining so heavily it didn't even charge to full via USB in 3 hours plugged in. I gonna flash ROM, baseband and the hotfixes again. Maybe this helps.

Edit: Mh, my Battery menu says that my phone only charged for a very brief moment and not what should be hours. Don't know why, but could be related to the PC it was connected to since it's an old ThinkPad and doesn't seem to power it's USB-Ports when it's in standby even when connected to a dock. I'll check tomorrow again and report back.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] somedude67:
nvm sorted it
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vitaminme:
yes 3g is working. haven't tried 2g yet. hope your internet settings are ok,

[Xperia Arc Android Development] jtc42:
Good luck! It'd be interesting to hear how you get on with it :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] CrazyPeter:
Same problem here. Charging on the PC I always charge it on made no difference, it was using everything it could get, it merely stopped it draining any more.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mariusmes:
After a day still no problems. Used acronium before, but with this ROM my battery last a lot longer. Superb!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] punkmonkey1984:
Also iv read that its possible to set a different wallpaper on the default lockscreen than to the home screen, is there any chance to get that feature?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] h25p:
Excellent Battery Life! I usually can't get a full 24 hours without recharging on my lt18i, with this ROM I have now 20 hours 32 minutes and still 60 % battery available. It was an quiet day, just a few mails, a few calls and a bit of surfing. But I never got this lifetime with any other rom before.

Everything's working fine up to now, only minor issue is that scrolling in tapatalk seems to be lot slower (not laggy, but slower).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jtc42:
Sorry for the newby question but I've searched and everything and just drawn blanks or don't understand what's being said.

How do I go about updating the baseband? Can it be done?

Also, really with the trollface boot? Every time I see it I die a little inside :p
[Xperia Arc Android Development] everb00b:
all in all great rom. battery life is excellent.

(+) Battery life excellent

(+) no serious bugs that can concern

(-) status bar toggles

(-) battery %

(-\+) 4.0.3 Android OS Battery Drain?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
Apart from the baseband libs, I've also made a thread about changing kernel boot logos. Again, if only you had searched before posting. :rolleyes:

So, let me get this straight:

battery life is excellent, but there's also battery drain? :confused:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] everb00b:
theres a bug in 4.0.3 that Android OS Proccess is draining battery.

one of the reasons google released 4.0.4, it was discussed on I9000 Dev.

for me during 16 Hours, i didnt have a battery drain.

thats why i'm asking if anyone had it.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
Android system indeed shows up in the statistics, but I don't think battery life is significantly decreased. Or maybe it would be even more awesome, had it not been for that. :D

Anyone facing issues with Fast Dormancy keeping the phone awake,

add this line in your build.prop:

Save and reboot!
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jjdoctor:
You need to teach us how to embed CWM recovery in a kernel.. :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Petter88:
As for the troll face I agree with it killing a piece of me every boot thou I have to appreciate how well that goes with what the actual trollface stands for :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] refract:
After 2 days use, seems pretty stellar.

Going to Dev settings, enabling 2D HW acceleration and window+transition scale to 0.5x, seems rather snappy. Of course, the speed still needs work, but for a beta it's more than good.

Also, all the people who have weird issues, pretty sure baseband 56/64 fixes most of your problems.

The only annoying thing is that I had to manually install google maps, due to it not being available from the market, nor preinstalled with the phone. That, and default look of some of the ICS icons, but that's easily fixed if you have any development experience whatsoever ( or instead, use a custom launcher ).
[Xperia Arc Android Development] DooMLoRD:

zdzihu... small matter, but do you have an idea why the contact widget doesn't show pictures? Flashed SE Beta ROM and it works, but I like your rom better, just don't like the diagonal stripes that appear instead of contact picture in the widget... :)

Kudos!

EDIT: It's the 4x1 widget I'm talking about. The 1x1 shows the contact picture but has a blue line in the middle of the picture.

EDIT2: The "Direct Message" / '"Direkt Meddelande"- in swedish' shows pictures ok.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Petter88:
I'm aware this won't solve your problem in a direct way, but if you haven't you should try Sony Ericssons non-included contact widget "life contacts" it lists the contacts you use most at the moment taking into consideration both sms and call log
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
I am suspecting this is a problem with resources, has happened to me in the past when public.xml was getting messed up while recompiling apk files.

ICS is relatively new and the tools available for modders are not yet flawless.

If you notice closely, the image that appears instead of the contact picture is actually progressbar_indeterminate1.png from framework (res/drawable-hdpi).

I liked that widget too, but for the time being, we need to resort to alternatives.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] refract:
A small digression.. as a continuance of my previous post - if anyone else hates those ugly default ICS phone/calendar/contacts/messaging icons, enjoy the package below, just flash it via CWM.

( nothing important obviously, or too pretty for that matter, it's just a bunch of better-looking icons I found in 5 mins - but I literally can't stand the icons google provided us in stock ICS, so I went ahead and put that together ( the package contains modded phone/sms/calendar/contacts apps that were provided in the ROM itself ) )

Hi, do you have screenshots?

I would like the SE icons as I think they fit the phone best.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
You mean baseband libs?

I don't know which are already in the ROM, but it seems that with baseband 64 this ROM works OK. Also, bear in mind, baseband 58 and 64 libs are the same. ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] refract:
As I said, it was a 5 minute pack-it-and-flash-it effort from my side, just tossed it up in this thread seeing this has potential to be the best ROM out there imo, the only downside being those fugly icons.

I'll just toss up a Sony icons pack + text-based icons pack tomorrow as a seperate thread in themes subforum, together with screenshots.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] mineralvann:
i have to agree stock icons are fugly.

Nofrills works for me i can see what freq, governor and io manager it uses, havent tried changing anything yet though.

But i have similar issue with 3g watchdog, like the option where you choose between mb,kb,b is all black until you press it then you can see the options its also the same where you choose day, week, month. Not sure if its app or rom related though.

I have noticed a very small bug with the fm player though, it wont name any of the stations in the app itself but in the drag down top menu you can see it. Also some of the buttons on trebuchet setting cant be used but i think that trebuchet fault since its still v0.1

I'm currently running this with the DoomLord Advanced Stock Kernel and everything SEEMS to be running fine. Is there any reason why it shouldn't? I just wanna check there shouldn't be any glaring compatibility issues that'll come back and bite me in the ass later on that anyone knows of.

I'll update this post if I find anything :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
Look here.

It should work, since it's just the new boot.img provided by SE for the beta release, CMW and init.d support added.

However, it's kind of pointless to use it instead of Z's kernel at the moment,

as they are both practically the same and of course Z's ramdisk is optimised accordingly for this ROM, whereas Doom made this kernel with stock ICS beta in mind.

If what you miss is init.d support, look here.

[Xperia Arc Android Development] jtc42:
Ah I see. That seems fair enough. I think I'll try it out with this kernel for a bit and see how it goes, if anything just out of curiosity and then switch to Z's at some point.

So far only problem I've had is the not being able to hang up, but I believe that has more to do with the basebands so I'm just flashing that to see what happens.

Cheers for the info :)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] iridaki:
You installed hotfix 2 and you're still unable to hang up the phone?

If so, you could try this: Go to Settings > Accessibility (press Cancel on the Google nagging to install Talkback etc) and turn on the Power Button Ends Call option.

Then while on call, try to hang up using the Power Button and see if there's still an issue. ;)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] fcb13:
How is battery drain? Is it better or worse than arconium ICS?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] jtc42:
Just reflashed hotfix 2a and the baseband 64 files and it all works great now. So far only problems I've encountered are small issues, so I'll list them here but I'd expect them to go to the bottom of any to-do lists:

The fast scroll bar in apps like the new Google Music app is huge and squashes everything up to one side. It's supposed to be the thin blue one in ICS that takes up minimal space.

Obviously the white status bar text is back in HF2a but I understand that's to prevent a GPS crash? What's the latest on this? I've seen a few posts regarding it but just wondering how the OP is getting on with this :)

Lock screen always says "No Sim: Orange" - I'm on Orange, have a SIM, and am able to connect, so this seems odd.

Just little bugs in the camera app such as the focusing and some mental glitches when going through the settings sometimes.

Some settings apps such as the mobile networks setting seem to be in the legacy 2.3 style. Not an issue obviously but just something I noticed.

Anyway, seems perfectly nice to use day-to-day. As long as my alarm sounds tomorrow morning, I'm perfectly happy :)
